Who Knows Who Cares


I asked if I could borrow a shirt and he nodded towards room number 13.

“Pick a winner” he said.

The door was ajar and there was an anchor drawn on it. I hopped off the couch and walked in. photographs he presumably took covered the walls, one was of a person frozen in mid air. Clothes covered every inch of his floor creating a complexly textured and colored rug of plaid, stripes and other hues. I kicked my shoes off behind me into the hall and walked across the soft sea of cotton, corduroy and denim towards the bureau.

I opened the second drawer from the top and found t-shirts carefully folded with brilliant colors poking out from the depths of each of the three stacks. Then it hit me, the smell that is. An aroma of old sandwiches, pit sweat, and damp sneakers flooded my nose all at once as I picked up a yellow shirt that said “Hawaii!” on it. There were mud spots all over the back from riding a bicycle in the rain. I dropped it back in the drawer and pulled a purple tie dye up to my nose. B.O.! Another, a trail of salsa skipping down the front, maybe blood, nope, definitely salsa. Another, grass stain! Another, B.O. again, woof!

Throwing the shirts back in the drawer I closed it to seal off the stench. I looked around my feet and reached down to pick up a royal blue shirt from the floor and held it to my nose. Memories of sitting in Stephen’s kitchen during the summer flew fleetingly threw my head. Probably Tide I thought.

I put it on and walked back out to the couch. “That strangely does make sense”. He nodded without breaking his glance from the television.

Sunset Rubdown

Sunset Rubdown's 2009 epic "Dragonslayer" was one of the best records of the year, and is the most accessible in Spencer Krug's whole labyrinth catalogue including work with Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes, Swan Lake, and Moonface.

The video for the 10 minute "Dragon's Lair" was released today and can be viewed below:


If you cannot get enough Spencer Krug, jump over to CultureCatch
and check out an interview I did with him in June about art criticism
and the process of making "Dragonslayer":

Tunnelvision - Four Tet

Good ol' Pitchfork just posted a new entry in their "Tunnelvision" video series - here, Ray Concepcion (who has been making quite a name for himself in the artsy-filming-of-indie-musics world of late) films three songs in a live Four Tet set through a pair of 3D glasses. It's incredibly friggin beautiful and so is the music. Embedded below is my favorite, "Sing", and you can link to the others at : http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/2120-four-tet/

And...

We're back!

Power Outage

Thanks to a heavy blanket of very wet snow, we woke up this morning to an absence of electricity which is temporarily impeding our ability to broadcast. We'll be back up as soon as possible.
In the meantime, check out all the spiffy new music we've posted recently!
Love, WRMC

Trippy Music Video Tuesdays

(I doubt this will be a weekly thing, but it works for today)




Great song. Great video (they actually perform with that guy dancing in the crowd).

Brings me back to an old favorite of mine:

It's Here

And it's better than the new "Little Secrets" music video.

Middlebury Radio Theatre of Thrills & Suspense: Season Premiere

Tune in this Saturday, February 20th, to WRMC 91.1 at our new time, Six o’clock pm for the premiere of the Middlebury Radio Theatre of Thrills & Suspense’s fifth and a half season. The show will include one of our favorite vintage series, the retro-futuristic sci-fi thrills of X minus 1. And there’s no better suspense than the endless quest for the mysterious whatzit in an original adaptation of the noir classic, Kiss Me Deadly.

But that’s not all. The Middlebury Radio Theatre of Thrills & Suspense also presents the first episode of the new Nightshade Radioplayhouse, a series of dark bedtime stories like nothing we’ve done over the airways before. The inaugural tale is an old favorite, Hansel and Grethel.

new Flying Lotus - "Computer Face // Pure Being"

This preview track from Flying Lotus's upcoming album Cosmogramma is beginning to make some well-deserved rounds on the nets. It's short and sweet, and it sounds like the SNES got a little tipsy and decided to have a dance party with FlyLo's typical psychedelic drums'n'bass abstraction.
I LIKE.
