Oh Messy Life – May 18, 2023 Show Notes
Track 1: Gretchen Jude and Takashi Masubuchi – Thirsty Morning
An acquaintance mentioned catching a performance by Takashi Masubuchi so I thought I’d check him out.
Track 2: Pauline Oliveros & Miya Masaoka – Afternoon – Hirusugi
The koto on the previous track made me think of Miya Masaoka, and so I dug up this fun collaboration with the late Pauline Oliveros.
Track 3: Ami Dang – Bopoluchi
I saw that Ami was playing a show with Beast Nest so I thought I would give her a listen.
Track 4: 99LETTERS – Shibun Goretsu
I found this one via a Bandcamp promo email. Apparently it’s modern music made with the sounds of traditional Japanese instruments.
Track 5: Le Diable Degoutant – Complainte De La Bête
Found this one via WFMU’s Heavily Played Records page.
Track 6: Frankie Rose – Feel Light
Dipping into another track from the Love As Projection album out on Slumberland Records.
Track 7: Gwenno – Tresor
Can’t remember quite how I found this one.
Track 8: Ida e os Voltas – Cadê a Embaixatriz / Revolta
Found via a Bandcamp promo, apparently this is from a 1986 post punk band from Brazil.
Track 9: Wombo – Slab
Think I heard about this band on Mastodon maybe?
Track 10: Domino – Intro by Domino
I liked this idea here, an entire release on Bandcamp to promote a single show.
Track 11: Kicker – Vegans Stole My Beer
Every week I come across a couple new punk/hardcore songs that catch my ear, but I can’t always find a place to fit them into my show. So here’s the last couple months worth all in one go, starting off with Oakland band Kicker.
Track 12: Shitty Life – ADS Opression
It’s vocals that made this on stande out to me.
Track 13: Smash Your Face – Blood in The High
Over to Japan for a track off of a live release.
Track 14: SOUL GLO – (Five Years And) My Family
Then back to the states for another track from this Philly band.
Track 15: PLANET ON A CHAIN – Hum
A rager from a bunch of long-timers in the bay area hardcore scene.
Track 16: WOUND MAN – Abstraction
More often than not, when some new hardcore catches my ear, it’s from Iron Lung records.
Track 17: Frank Marchi – Frankdeep Markesh
I found out West Bay bass legend Frank had a new release out via Dan Lactose’s 36 Crazy Fists newsletter.
Track 18: Deathgrave – Your Rulers Are Here
From their new release, It’s Only Midnight.
Track 19: Iron Lung – Rehabilitation
Why not throw in a live track from Iron Lung themselves?
Track 20: Godstomper – LIFE RUINER
I love that Godstomper is still going strong so many years later.
Track 21: Avengers – Thin White Line
And then for really long careers in music, here’s the Avengers from way way back.
Track 22: maxine funke – Cherry Blossom Gin
Ending things off with something lovely from maxine funke.
