Jazz interlopers

Busy week. Playlisted with only 2 hours to go! Madness.

Best finds: Glass Vaults free EP download (Sonorous Circle) and Public Guilt free sampler (thanks Daniel). Nice review of Glass Vaults EP here on Cyclic Defrost and here on Einstein Music Journal. I haven't seen them live, but I hear they are great. They'll be supporting Xiu Xiu on their tour here in NZ.

dirty/dark

>> DOWNLOAD HERE << PART ONE
>> DOWNLOAD HERE << PART TWO

Sorry - split into two parts due to some unknown tech glitch. Don't you hate those?

Could not decide what mood I was in tonight while getting this playlist sorted. I hope it works. Mostly dark, and kinda dirty, but there are some light moments too. New best find: Best Coast. Seems like lo-fi is the new black.

Had a whole day at a day spa today! What a treat. I had some very interesting makeup though. The final "treat" was getting my makeup done, but I got home and saw it properly and removed it. Oh my god, what did that girl think she was doing? It was pretty scary. However, the rest of the day was fun. I now have dark green fingernails and bright red toenails.

We have a friend staying who has lots of new music to listen to. Wish i could take a week off work and catch up on some listening. One more reason to work for myself again: listen to whatever the fuck I feel like.

Round and round and round we go
A repeat of Session 01

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

In keeping with current times, how about some repeats.

I thought it might be time to revisit the first show I did back in Feb of 2009. Radi023 was in its infancy and we hadn't officially launched. None of the first 7 shows were even podcast.

Back then, I was playing solely New Zealand music which made for some interesting mixes.

I am still a very big fan of Swung. Please make some more music, Swung. It's wonderful, this stuff, and just leaves me wanting more.

Here's the playlist:

SESSION 58: At Home With Rose

Pop goes the (indie) weasel

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Well, a girl can't listen to experimental all the time. Here's some new poppy tunes. Sometimes it's just what I'm in the mood for. Especially at the moment. I have a stinking cold and it's so busy at work that I can't take a sick day. So some nice pop music in the office gets the day off to a snapping pace. That, and some good cough mixture, and my day is not so bad.

Some pop I can't abide, but give me some shimmering dreampop and something with a krautrock twist and you'll have me twittering and shimmying round the office.

Warning: this mix starts out the least poppy and by the end of it we have some very poppy electro. Be warned. You may want to dance. Don't be put off by the inclusion of Robyn. Personally, I adore her Swedish cuteness that also packs a dirty punch.

Favourite from this mix though, is Florida's Surfer Blood. So much fun.

SESSION 57: At Home With Rose

The Hissing of Winter Fires

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

It's likely this is going to be podcast to the wonderful Foxy Digitalis, so it's a dual-purpose show this week.

Mostly low-fi, mostly new(ish) with a splash of old NZ tracks for good measure. My fave has got to be the delicious White Hinterland from Portland, Oregon. Just recently discovered them and am enjoying their poppy other-worldly tunes. When I say mostly low-fi, well, this is one that isn't.

Portland is well represented in this mix I've just realised, with Grouper and Bugskull also included. I'm going to visit Portland in about a year's time. There, it's on record now, so I have to do it! Lot's of people to visit, that's for sure.

'Little Wig' off the new album by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is also rather lovely.

SESSION 56: At Home With Rose

Plinkety Plonk: You can dance to some of these if you want

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Some upbeat shimmering electro tracks this week - some of them you might even be able to dance to in a kind of way. Well, I'll be doing a wee dance because my friend Ms LaQuisha Redfern is coming over in her kimono and I'm going to put on my new kaftan (Trade Me sucks me in) and we might even put on some sparkly makeup. It's a girls' night. Time for some upbeat moods, I think. Hope you will join us. We might be feeling a bit silly. In a good way. Expect pics.

(Here's a video of Session 56 in progress!)


You'll see Umor Rex and Fonal labels heavily represented in this mix. Total coincidence, but anyone who follows the show will know how much I love these two labels.

Songs For Mourning

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Rest in Peace my dear dad: Brian Clarence Miller
21 September 1933 — 7 May 2010

Note: I am now broadcasting on the Room 111 stream of Radio23. For talented listeners only.

I'm back after a few months break from the show. I have not been able to listen to anything jangly or loud or abrupt since my dad's death. So here are some songs to mark my Dad's passing. The kind of songs that are helping me to get through and come out the other side.

The first two songs were amongst those we chose for Dad's funeral service.

(Some are a little tongue-in-cheek towards the end, cos you have to keep a sense of humour.)

My dad was a big reader of my blog. I found out that once, when I had taken a break from blogging, he had downloaded my entire blog because he thought it was going to be deleted from the web. I never knew he was that interested in our lives. I've found out since that this was not true. His friends told us how much he talked of us. How proud he was.

Love you, my papa. x

Red Steers EP - The Fever Fold

Upcoming release from A Low Hum label by Red Steers - The Fever Fold.

A five-track nicely produced EP of sweet quirky electro pop. Red Steers is Wellington’s Daniel Johnston. Great voice. Jaunty tunes. Each one totally enjoyable.

If I had to compare this to anything, I'd say you could slot it alongside Animal Collective. There are some gorgeous almost choral moments.

Definite pop hit is Nighthawke, but my favourite is Home.

Releasing on A Low Hum April 26.

TRANSMISSION WILL BE INTERMITTENT

Well, we all have to take time off now and then. There's some family stuff going down and so I'm taking some time off - no radio shows from me for a month or two - possibly even three.

I'll make the most of this time to catch up on some new music and reflect on some old. Perhaps some great new shows will come of it.

I am trying to think of some other news - but there isn't any. Grim.

SESSION 54: At Home With Rose

Experimental easy listening

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

This lot will not be hard on your ears. If you haven't listened to much in the way of experimental music then this is a good starter. I'll be listening to this for a spot of relaxation and reflection.

First three tracks are by Chris Watson under the name of zero.enmity. I met Chris on FB and he hooked me up with some tracks and they fit perfectly in this mix. You can find more of Chris's music on Last.FM. Chris is from New Zealand but has spent the last 20 years living in Melbourne, Australia and Tokyo, Japan.

SESSION 53: At Home With Rose

Hushed tones in the psychedelic playground

DUE TO SOME BROADCAST PROBLEMS, THIS SESSION HAS BEEN PODCAST IN TWO CHUNKS

>> DOWNLOAD PART ONE HERE <<

>> DOWNLOAD PART TWO HERE <<

NOTE: earlier show time of 8-10pm NZ time due to daylight savings in the US. Show remains the same time for listeners in the US.

It's the loveliest time of year at the moment - the mellow warm autumn days. The light seems less harsh and the warmth in the sun is not as intense. Leaves are starting to brown, the fruiting trees and vines are squeezing out the last of their crops. The evenings have a faint chill. This is my time of year. I'm not a summer person. I like the sun, but I don't like the sticky heat. The music for this mellow time is my favourite: psychy, folksy dirges and drones. Mumbling strange lyrics. Anyone would think I was a drugged-out hippy. Nah. Not my style. Perhaps in a past life. Heh.

First track up is by Gong - this is one from my childhood. I remember being interested in the funny drawings and hippy garb and the titles of songs like "Squeezing Sponges Over Policeman's Heads" from the album Camembert Electrique. It was good to have older brothers who brought lots of different music into the house. I wonder what I would be listening to now if it hadn't been for the good early influences from my two big brothers. Thank you Greg and Steve.

Isis came here in February - yet another band I have missed and I'm getting pretty annoyed with not having any money to get along to gigs. Perhaps I should see if I can start writing reviews so I can get tickets. Hmm, that would mean finding time to do such things, but perhaps something to think about. Am I a good enough writer? I guess that could be a stumbling block... I've stopped looking at what gigs are coming up. It's getting too depressing.

Sad to see that Matthew Crawley and Jim Rush, aka Strange News and Galesburg, have gone into retirement. Sounds like numbers at gigs were not high enough to keep them going financially. A damn shame because they organised for some pretty amazing people to grace our shores. Perhaps too many so that people were picking and choosing what to go to. Also perhaps a sign of the times of recession.

SESSION 51: At Home With Rose

* who remembers Gumby?

Almost crooners

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Almost wasn't doing a show tonight - hence the late playlist. But last minute change of plans. So here we go - all these songs (to me) have some kind of crooning aspect - even the ones with no voice. David Sylvian and Roxy Music are pretty obvious.

Lazy playlist for people who are running it close to the wire!

SESSION 50: At Home With Rose

Lovely low-fi

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Bloody hell! Fifty shows under my belt! Pretty damned pleased about that, yessiree.

This week's theme became apparent after choosing my first 3 songs. Seems I have low-fi on my mind. And back to some good New Zealand music which is fitting cos that's where this radio show began. Mixed in are a few songs from the rest of the world, but the core is most definitely Noo Zild.

Note all the great NZ labels. Yes, we have some wonderful musicians in this country, but don't forget about the hard work done by the people that run the labels to get the music out there so you can listen to it. Amongst tonight's labels:

Pseudo Arcana
Celebrate/Psi/Phenomenon (now called Don't Fuck With Magic)
CLaudia
nextbestway
The other NZ labels here are defunct (as far as I know).

Lots of gigs coming up and no money to go to them. Darn. Wish I was going to Health and wish I was going to Isis. Ah well. It is not to be.
