Test Pattern airs every Friday from 6 to 7pm on WZBC, 90.3FM. Each week, a different WZBC DJ hosts a one hour show featuring the music of a particular artist, band, label, or scene of his or her choice.

This week I am presenting the music of UNDERWORLD across several decades, including remixes, weird early works, favorite B-sides. Unfortunately the show’s only an hour long, so in order to play more than 5 tracks I’ll have to play everything on +8 on the turntables or plus 50% on the CD players. Just kidding! No alterations.

A complete version of the film Metropolis has been found in Argentina. Apparently the versions available today are missing 90 minutes of material.

More here.

Does this have anything to do with the music usually covered on this blog? You betcherass. Jeff Mills and Giorgio Moroder both created soundtracks for the silent film, the former going so far as to perform his soundtrack alongside a showing of the film (along with performances by Super Collider and Herbert!)

On a totally different note, I will be playing two sets at River Gods tomorrow night (July 3) as part of the monthly WZBC Countdown that was postponed from last month. Also appearing will be Matt Crook and John Straub. Unfortunately, the bar won’t be open until 2AM, even though it’s the day before a holiday, but there are other area events that will be open afterwards (If I am not totally cracked out I might head over to Elements for the last bit of KLUTE)
