Hydrogen Economy with MKB - WZBC College Radio

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.

Excellent Interview with Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle and Coil
Pipecock vs. Mnml Ssgs, in three parts. Part 2, Part 3, Bonus

Apologies for the lack of recording. I had troubles with the turntable which screwed everything.

After discussion with the venue, the WZBC Countdown will NOT be occurring as planned tonight. From John S., the host:

Hey folks:

Tomorrow night is the first Thursday of the month, which is when WZBC
usually hosts a monthly countdown + 2 featured DJs at River Gods. But
tomorrow also happens to be game 1 of the NBA finals between the
Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. River Gods doesn’t usually
have a TV on in the bar, but they do make an exception when Boston
teams make it into championship games. So River Gods will be showing
the game an a big screen.

River Gods might mute the TV audio, in which case I will spin during
the game, and play WZBC’s countdown as usual between 10 and 11 p.m. I
will also spin after the game.
River Gods might turn up the TV audio, in which case I will just play
a few songs - including the countdown songs - during the commercial
breaks. Either way, I will spin after the game is over.

Go Celtics!

First off, Matt Crook (also from WZBC) and I will be accompanying next month’s WZBC countdown at River Gods, June 5 at 8:30 PM. Each of us will be playing two sets. It’s free, but 21+.

125 River St, Cambridge, MA is the place. Parking’s a bitch, btw.

Also, here’s last week’s playlist, after the break. (more…)

playlists from weeks past, plus a new podcast from last week, featuring a guest mix from M50!

I just happened to find this laying around on my hard drive. No idea on the tracklist or even the date. I’ve got more tapes and Minidiscs in my closet that have to be encoded to MP3, including more from this night.
