American Techno Authority

American techno creativity arises from the ashes of fried ironworx. Evidence: Detroit. See also -> Chattanooga, TN. The place is going through a rebirth. Everywhere steel and water and light in unexpected forms. The mountains of Tennessee are green and slight compared to the dry and grand Rockies in my backyard. The coolness of this limestone wet place was a comfort from the searing Martian wind of the Great Basin. It is easy to see why this whole Appalachian paradise, Nashville included, is a Mecca of music. Mountains are inspiration. Industrial meltdown is a creative Phoenix.

Beats of Doom

DJ KEMO spins some underground grunge to set the mood on The UNHerd(sic) 5-7PM MT.

It's a sign of the dark times. Half of the new music I've received in the last month is programmed for night gaunts. Music promoters are distributing dystopian soundtracks to accompany our descent into economic eschaton. There is some hope at the end of this set to complete the arc.

K-OS - Zambony
Dark, Dark, Dark - Junk Bones Odd Nosdam Remix
Antipop Consortium - The Solution

Pan American Rebel Scum

Welcome to the show that sounds like LCD Soundsystem as the sound track of Star Wars.

Brazil is America's big sibling in South America. Americans have a healthy rebel streak. But perhaps we only have juke box rebellion. Packaged by evil branding executives. Thanks to bill for pointing me out to these magnetic star spangled ribbons that say "Just Pretend it's all OK."

Anthony Braxton & Richard Tietelbaum - Open Aspect #2
