Back on the radio starting Aug 28
A mix of stretched-out spacey sounds, free music, jazz, folk, new age, experimental, dub reggae... spanning decades and continents. Start your day with the warm, sunny, psychedelic sounds of Pome Pome Tones. Or, if you are on the East Coast, enjoy it with lunch. Perhaps some delightful dinner music for you Europers ?
A couple of new JOMF reviews...
"ghostly melodies from what must be a pan flute being played through an angel’s anus" -- well, they've got my number. funny that they also reference two finnish bands that i have also made angel's anus sounds with. how did they know?

"I have been listening to this cassette on repeat for about an hour now and I gotta tell you. I have yet to get sick of earring this. Jackie-o Motherfucker has improvised into many different genres over their long list of releases. I'm sure you are familiar with them so I will not bother going into it all, but it's dense. This cassette follows them into a more free jazz type of world. Like Coltrane at his strangest or Sun Ra at his most destructive. I would recommend picking this up right away and doing what I did—listen to it over and over and over."

Grateful Tapers, published in Audio - 25 years ago!
To celebrate JERRY GARCIA's 71st birthday today, here's a classic article on the real taper scene. A bit of history, gear talk and love. I was in this section with a Marantz deck for most shows in 1988 - this is how I started a life of recording. Hit the full-screen button on the lower-left, and enjoy!

Black Forest/Black Sea - released 10 years ago this week
original USA release, 2003 - Last Visible Dog + Secret Eye Records split label release
re-issued (with bonus tracks) in France, 2005 - Asphalt Duchess label
bonus tracks:
Sea Song - live on WMBR, Cambridge MA, July 10, 2003
Lump In Throat - live on the sidewalk outside of Tonevendor, Sacramento CA, Aug 3, 2003
"On their debut, Providence-based Black Forest/Black Sea offer seven chilly field recordings placed within a half-improvised framework of guitar, cello and sundry accented glitches. After piecing together a magnificent patchwork tent of bark, calico fabric, twisted vines, and fallen stars, the duo-- featuring ex-members of experimental folk troupe Iditarod-- sets up an austere camp in the enchanted psych-folk glen also inhabited by Ghost, Charalambides, Six Organs of Admittance, Fursaxa, and the Jewelled Antler Collective. In addition to Jeffrey Alexander's guitar (finger-picked and bowed) and Miriam Goldberg's cello (pitch-shifted and ring modulated), Black Forest/Black Sea incorporate hissing short-wave radio, omnichord, haunting vocal melodies, saxophone, rusty percussion, 8-rpm phonograph, reel-to-reel noise, drone, feedback, fireside crackles, and some general knob turning." (Pitchfork)
"Black Forest/Black Sea is primarily Jeffrey Alexander and Miriam Goldberg, an unusual folk styled duo who sound straightforward enough on first hearing, until something unexpected turns the simply plucked banjo song they are playing upside down. Backwards backwoods playing, electronic effects, a shortwave radio and some knob twiddling are all incorporated into their sound, which twists from traditional folk Americana to beatbox Improv and back again. Nothing, however, is quite what it seems, and this constant sound shifting gives Alexander and Goldberg's musically metamorphic contribution to the New Weird America cult an edge over the competition. For BF/BS are genuinely strange." (The Wire)

KFJC reviews the first Pome Pome Tones LP
http://spidey.kfjc.org/?p=15241
11th album from this Finnish psych folk band that started back in 2001, with about 10 to 20 rotating members. Hypnotic, rhythmic instrumental jams. Guitars, a little funky at times in the background. Rolling soft drums. Crystal electronics. Gorgeous blending of modern and futurist sounds. Psycha-futura? Easily accessible, great to open the front door and bask in some sunshine with.
