the show last night at harvard radio was kind of a mess, but still fun. it was a weird show, but i have the feeling it was good radio. the lecture was really great too. when i got to the studio lukey dragons was in mid-lect, and i jumped in only to find that we were right on the same page. remembering that the topic was “punk before 1977″, luke and i played kraftwerk, half japanese, the shaggs, hasil adkins, ornette coleman, albert ayler, and some of the later esp records caveman psych stuff. pretty awesome. luke, i find out, teaches electronic music at brown university! i told him he should have me come in and lecture his class, and as he should, he took my suggestion with a grain of ginger, if not salt. during the lecture he said that stockhausen invented bleepy bloopy music, i said that’s subject to debate, he said no it isn’t. pretty awesome.
tonight we’re playing the zeitgeist gallery in cambridge, at midnight. the show has a lot of ups and downs, energy wise, but good.
