RADIO GAGA



 Just to give my ego an airing, the second edition of the radio show I do with my friend and guitarist Chris, 'Noise in the Ether', is up on Samurai FM's website:

We're not very fluid with the talking (although we're better than on the first one, I swear!), but I think the music (which is all that really matters, really) is cracking, and nicely varied, from jazz courtesy of Henry Threadgill, to heavy drone and doom in the form of Gate and Burial Hex, via the avant-pop of Broadcast and the experimental drones of Stimmhorn and Tony Conrad. Plus proto-punk from Yoko Ono, Pat Metheny freaking out on guitar, The Durutti Column's post-punk bliss and psychedelic rock from Santana.

Our first show should also still be up there, with tracks by Derek Bailey, Frank Zappa, Inca Ore, Fred Frith, The Caretaker, The Grateful Dead, Burial, Skullflower, Phil Kline, John Tchicai and Hair Police.

Hope you enjoy!
