Last friday night, I recorded myself DJing for 2 hours at WXDU Durham, 88.7. Here's a chunk of the timelapse that resulted. #wxdu #dj #music #radio #timelapse #work

[clangoring]

Listening to WXDU on my way to work this morning made me want to put some ice cubes into a skull bong.

Listed: Three Lobed Recordings

For 20 years, Three Lobed Recordings has explored the outer reaches of psychedelic music, presenting Bardo Pond’s heaviest, most improvisatory albums, documenting the American primitive revival via recordings of Jack Rose and Daniel Bachman, listening to emanations from space-age folk troubadours like Wooden Wand, Sunburned Hand of the Man and Matt Valentine and generally pursuing the beauty of experiment, wherever it occurs. To celebrate these past two fruitful decades, label founder Cory Rayborn lists ten of the albums that define Three Lobed (and, necessarily, leaves out others equally valid and interesting). We look forward to lots more in the decades to come.

Personal Choice Cuts from the TLR Catalog (in no particular order, 9 of which might be different if you were to ask me tomorrow).

Gunn-Truscinski Duo — Ocean Parkway (2012)

Ocean Parkway by Gunn-Truscinski Duo

Every time I listen to this album, especially the title track, I feel transported. Long ago my college roommate Jon Nall articulated a test for transcendent songs, for the ones that impact you no matter how many times you hear them. He summed those all-time tracks up as the ones where the hairs on your arms uncontrollably stand up every time you hear them. While every track on this album does it for me every time, throwing me into a sort of uncontrollable head nod and body sway, I am always fully taken away by the entirety of the title track and Steve's swirling guitar build over the entire eighth minute punctuated by the ecstatic tones he hits at 9:06. Yow. The feeling I get from this album is why the label exists.

Various Artists — Eight Trails, One Path (2012)

Eight Trails, One Path by Various Artists

Record Store Day is tough. I love the attention and cash it puts into the hands of independent retailers but hate how commodified it has become over time by the powers that be / majors who see it as an excuse to pump out a bunch of junk that will end up being shelf warmers and ankle weights on those same retailers they claims to be supporting. The first few years when most of the titles were truly from and by indies it was a lot of fun. That was the feeling that led to wanting to put out an RSD title in mid-2011 (an illness I’ve since overcome). Originally conceived as a joined pair of split 7"s, it morphed into a triple 7" and then to a full length album. I wanted to showcase different approaches to solo guitar work and set out to ask a lot of my favorites. I also wanted to put together a special package which was fleshed out with help by Casey Burns on graphics, Grayson Haver Currin on words and Jeff Mueller on printing. I’m still amazed at the interlocked nature of all of the contributions to this one, from Six Organs’ spiritual sibling to “Ascent” in the form of “Stranded on Io” (a track that is a wordless tale all within itself) to the circular beauty of David Daniell’s “Housewarming” and everything else on here. I really love this record.

Tom Carter — Long Time Underground (2015)

Long Time Underground by Tom Carter

Late in 2013 I was chatting with Tom about what shape a record should take. He wanted to go to Black Dirt and get a good, clean capture of what he had been working on with Jason Meagher. TLR is always onboard with a Black Dirt election. Fast forward several months and family TLR was visiting some friends in Vermont around the same time Tom was in the area. We met up and he handed off the masters for a double LP. While we knew that the mix of Tom’s playing, Tom’s writing and Jason’s engineering was going to be magical but we had no idea of the exact form or how insanely potent the album was going to be. Damn. Seriously, just listen to this stuff and absorb that these are all single takes, no overdubs. Haunting and celebratory all at once.

Daniel Bachman — The Morning Star (2018)

The Morning Star by Daniel Bachman

It is pretty fun to watch the arc and path that Daniel’s writing, recording and performing have taken over the last 15 years. From powerhouse steamroller to the intersection of musique concrète and acoustic drone, his current location could maybe have been seen in his early recordings but you likely would have lost most of those dice rolls. The Morning Star speaks to me in so many ways but the stunning bookends of “Invocation” and “New Moon” always hit like a ton of bricks. What is amazing is how Daniel can turn these album cuts into live performances. I saw “New Moon” several times while Daniel was in the process of touring this 2016 self-titled album, always transfixed by it live — the album version loses none of that potency. On the other hand, Daniel re-created “Invocation” at the 2018 Three Lobed / WXDU Annual Ritual of Summoning to stunning effect.

The Michael Flower Band — self-titled (2008)

The Michael Flower Band by The Michael Flower Band

An audio / aural bomb blast, a kosmik rearrangement of the space/time directly around the listener. This take no prisoners statement from Mick Flower (guitar) and John Moloney (drums) is a deep slice for catalog enthusiasts. Just tune into “Balinese Falsehood” and try to not get fully lost. Years ago I described this as “biker psych for the third eye rider” and I’ll stand by that statement fully today.

Wooden Wand and the World War IV — self-titled (2013)

Wooden Wand & the World War IV by Wooden Wand & the World War IV

Picking between Wooden Wand titles is hard for this particular enthusiast but if forced I think I have to push the needle towards the intense Crazy Horse vibes of this studio corker. Surrounded by the “Briarwood” band, perhaps the most telepathic folks with whom Toth has ever played, the results are electric and transfixing. Will I kick myself tomorrow for not picking Clipper Ship? TBD...

Meg Baird & Mary Lattimore — Ghost Forests (2018)

Ghost Forests by Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore

I don’t remember when it came to me, the fact that there wasn’t a deliberately ground-up collaboration between Meg and Mary in existence. I had to ask them if that was purposeful or a gap that was truly something that we should remedy, a question where I had my fingers crossed the entire time. They were both really into the concept, it just took the triangulation of busy satellites to make all of our desires into reality. The results are as sturdy, sheltering and invisible at the edges as the album's title, facts that we are all the better for each time we wrap ourselves in this particular fabric. An all-timer.

Jack Rose — The Black Dirt Sessions (2009)

The Black Dirt Sessions by Jack Rose

I had the good luck and fortune to get to know Jack back in the Pelt days and watch his transition from that ensemble into the singular player and performer that he was for the last eight years of his too short life. Watching a Jack set was always a tiny miracle. I remember him calling me one day, telling me that he had gone to record with Jason Meagher and he had a record that he would really love for me to put out if I was interested. Not only was I most most certainly interested, but I was amazingly humbled and flattered that this friend who I also considered a modern master had recorded something specifically for me without even discussing it with me first. That level of trust was the gift and magic of Jack. If he believed in you that belief gave you all of the power you needed to make anything reality, you were suddenly bulletproof. Every track here is a stunner but “Cross the North Fork” always pulls me in, dares me to turn my attention anywhere else. Rest in power, friend.

Chuck Johnson — Crows In The Basilica (2013)

Crows In The Basilica by Chuck Johnson

Every track on this perfectly constructed and sequenced album is flawlessly beautiful but “On A Slow Passing In Ghost Town” is one of the top 10 tracks in the entire TLR catalog in my estimation. Exactingly and properly composed, performed and recorded.

Bardo Pond — Peri (2009)

Peri by Bardo Pond

The love of Bardo Pond was the seed that initially drove me to create a record label. Their single-minded determination to seek audio truth was apparent to me ages ago and so very inspirational. I ate up everything — the releases, the live shows, the live recording — and I hung on every note. The band had a lot of really, really great tunes that they had been working on between 2001 and 2003, the period between their departing Matador for ATP Records. I could never shake the power of several of the tracks from this era that sort of got abandoned to the shifts of time. After several conversations with Michael Gibbons two albums were born from that period and from some other exceptionally potent tracks. Batholith was the first of these two albums and Peri, the second. Both are so very special to me, the fruit of knowing folks needed to hear these compositions. When writing here I have to pick Peri today as it closes with “Silver Pavilion,” an all-time Bardo Pond thesis statement of sorts.

September 29, 2019

CLICK HERE for the September 29, 2019 playlist

1. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - “Sick Bug” (2017)

One of a seemingly endless string of quality indie rock bands that pour out of Melbourne, Australia year after year.  Three vocalists that all kind of sound the same and trade lines seemingly arbitrarily.  They put out a great album last year, but this song comes from an EP that came out a year before.  Saw them at Terminal West last year, and the drummer had to keep playing on his knees between songs to keep the blood flowing for the unrelenting pulse beat.  It was killer.

2. The Dentists - “I’m Not The Devil” (1985)

Band from Medway, Kent that added a 60′s psych flair to a sort of early indie-pop sound.  That’s about all I know.  Reissued a couple of years ago by unstoppable Chicago powerhouse Trouble In Mind records.

3. The Toms - “You Must Have Crossed My Mind” (1979)

The Toms is the solo moniker of Tommy Marolda, a New Jersey recording engineer who I think may have had some sort of Bon Jovi connection at one point.  This is from his first, self-titled record, on which he played all the instruments and allegedly recorded and mixed the entire thing in a single weekend (no easy feat, particularly pre-Pro Tools) on a break from paying work.  Some obvious Beatles worship going on here, but glorious all the same.

4. Emitt Rhodes - “Fresh as a Daisy” (1970)

Speaking of obvious Beatles worship and self-recording... This comes from Emitt Rhodes’ self-titled, second album, which he recorded at home (against union rules at the time!), playing all instruments himself.  This whole album sounds like what I wish a contemporaneous Paul McCartney solo album would have sounded like.

5. Echo & The Bunnymen - “Never Stop (Discoteque)” (1983)

Ian McCulloch is my preferred British post-punk Ian -- sorry Joy Division.  This non-album single is maybe my favorite moment of theirs.  Check out this killer live video too. 

6. Francis Bebey - “The Coffee Cola Song” (1982)

One of my favorite discoveries during my time at WXDU, Francis Bebey spent time in Cameroon, France, and Ghana, writing, teaching and making idiosyncratic pop music.

7. Yamasuki - “Yama Yama” (1971)

At this point I can’t even remember how I got to this.  Two French dudes making their idea of “Eastern” music, sung by a children’s choir who may or may not be singing in actual Japanese?

8. Rexy - “Funky Butt” (1981)

I think if my kids were to write a song, they would probably call it Funky Butt.  Who knows why a grown-ass UK art student decided to name a song that, or to weirdly grunt her way through the song, but here we are.

9. Ruins - “Nice Song” (c. 1982-1984)

Italian experimental synth band that I first heard on one of the Minimal Wave Tapes compilations.  Apparently very tied in with the acadmic/visual art scene in Venice.

10. Craig Leon - “Region of Fleeing Civilians” (1982)

Producer who had a hand in the first albums by the Ramones, Suicide, and Blondie, and on the side made weird synth albums.

11. Denzel Curry (feat. Twelve’len and Goldlink) - “13LACK 13ALLOONS” (2018)

Florida rapper who the internet tells me makes “Soundcloud rap.”  I don’t know what that means, I just like this song.

12. Sampa the Great - “Final Form” (2019)

Another Melbourne-based artist, this Zambia-born artist just put out her first record on Ninja Tune, a label not usually known for hip-hop.  She’s apparently a big deal in Australia but just kind of stepping into the US.

13. Slum Village (feat. Busta Rhymes) - “What It’s All About” (1998)

Legendary producer Jay Dee/J Dilla got his start as one-third of this Detroit-based rap group.  This song features both production and a verse from Dilla, plus, of course, Busta Rhymes.

14. Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble - “The Colors That You Bring” (2019)

Damon Locks started his career as the frontman for Chicago’s Trenchmouth, a band which featured a pre-fame Fred Armisen on drums.  He’s now a sound artist in Chicago, and this comes from Where Future Unfolds, a live performance of a band he put together combining live music and samples of Civil Rights-era speeches.

15. Herbie Hancock - “Wiggle Waggle” (1969)

I never knew about this album, Fat Albert Rotunda, until Antarctica Starts Here, a reissue label run by the Superior Viaduct people, put it out last year.  Seems to be an anomaly in his catalog, wedged right at the end of the 60′s between his more traditional recordings and the fusion and experimental period in the 70′s.  It’s probably the most purely fun music he ever made.

16. Allen Toussaint - “What Do You Want the Girl to Do?” (1975)

Sort of ashamed to say I first heard this song when a band called Chesnut Station (a bunch of indie rock nerds from Chicago playing 60′s and 70′s pop and soul covers) closed their album In Your Living Room with it.  Glad I eventually heard the original--haven’t looked back since.

The New Duke Arts Center

The new Duke Arts Center comes as the latest addition in Duke’s self-proclaimed “arts renaissance,” but what’s really in store? Is it just another giant glass building or will it really make a difference in increasing arts accessibility on campus?

If it’s all they’ve said it will be, I think it truly will have an impact on the arts community in plenty of ways. The space is supposed to open to students next semester and give them access to the following resources:

A 200-seat black-box theater for performance and media arts projects,

A 100-seat film theater equipped for both digital and archival film formats,

Rehearsal space for Duke’s Dance program, student dance groups, and the American Dance Festival,

Video production studios for the Arts of the Moving Image program, the Center for Documentary Studies, and other campus groups,

Flexible production studios for collaborative, cross-disciplinary arts projects, including a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) “maker space.”

Painting and drawing studios,

Classrooms for the Dance Program and Arts of the Moving Image,

WXDU radio station, and

Indoor and outdoor lounge spaces with a stage for student performances.

Though its location at the center of the three campuses was likely a practical decision rather than a symbolic one, I love the image of it standing directly across from the Nasher Museum of Art and connecting the different residential areas of Duke. Building the Nasher was Duke’s first push towards arts appreciation, and I’m hoping that this new center will act as a massive push for art creation.

Since Duke began funneling funds into programs such as duARTS and expanding the artist in residency programs, Duke’s arts community has been trying to flourish without the infrastructure to support it. Dance faculty and student groups have been forced to set up shop all around campus, often in hard-to-get-to locations that make it tough for students to find time in their schedules to take on classes and rehearsals. Theatre groups are forced to wrestle amongst each other and the Theatre Department to find locations to rehearse and put on their shows. The Arts Annex (which is not exactly the easiest building to find) has been virtually the only place on campus for visual artists to find the resources they need to make art. This new space will by no means resolve all of these issues, but I think that it will have a big impact on them. Especially if students are given equal freedom to use the space as the arts departments.

This center could be a massive step forward in encouraging student artists to do what they’re best at, and I can’t wait to see it next semester.

Kate NV https://katenv.bandcamp.com/ Kate NV is the multifaceted solo persona of Moscow-based artist Kate Shilonosova. On her latest LP from 2020, Room for the Moon, she makes avant-pop that defies the ordinary, combining Russian and Japanese influences with a new-wave sensibility and featherlight vocals.

Yaya Bey https://yaya-bey.com/ Yaya Bey is one of R&B’s most exciting storytellers. Using a combination oancestral forces and her own self-actualization, the singer-songwriter seamlessly navigates life’s hardships and joyful moments through music. Bey’s newest album, Remember Your North Star, captures this emotional rollercoaster with a fusion of soul, jazz, reggae, afrobeat, and hip-hop that feeds the soul.

Special Interest https://specialinterest.band/home Special Interest is a four-piece punk band from New Orleans, Louisiana combining elements of no wave, glam, and industrial. Front and center are Alli Logout’s commanding vocals and razor-sharp lyrics, which range from high camp satire to insightful political imperatives.

Ami Dang https://www.amidang.com/ Amrita “Ami” Kaur Dang is a South Asian-American vocalist, sitarist, composer and producer from Baltimore. Her sound blends elements of North Indian classical, noise/ambient electronics, beat-driven psych, and experimental dance pop.

The Veldt https://theveldtmusic.bandcamp.com/ The Veldt is a soul-powered shoegaze band who arrived as misfits during the early '90s and reappeared as cult heroes in the mid-2010s. In 2022, the band released Entropy Is the Mainline to God, their first full-length in 24 years, and embarked on a five-week national tour.

Sunburned Hand of the Man https://sunburnedhandoftheman.bandcamp.com/album/that-which-is Sunburned Hand of the Man are a loose knit gang of musical artists from the wilds of Eastern Massachusetts. Over the years, their music has incorporated elements of rock, folk, drone, free jazz, and funk.

Laurel Halo puts her trust in dust (and Google Maps) and heads out on tour later this month

Time to stand up and shake it out, grubby dub-lovers: Laurel Halo — that seemingly omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent high priestess of spiritual techno in whose futuredance-flecked Dust we all trusted back in 2017 — is NOT about to keep still and let any unseemly particulate matter gather on her immaculate frame. Instead, the hyperaware Hyperdub hyperartist is keeping her machine burning clean in 2018 by announcing a short, spiritually-purifying marathon of North American tour dates beginning at the end of March. Titled “In Dust We Trust,” the jaunt will find Halo tempo-running from Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival up through New York and Canada, before whipping through the Midwest again on her way back east for New York’s Panorama Festival this summer. Check out all the dates and tour poster below, and help keep your own metaphysical dust to a minimum by getting out into the fresh air for one of these things. Trust me, you’re looking a little crusty from sitting there on the futon spinning records all winter.
