Musicians reckoning with life: Where does listening start, what it transforms. The only way to end is the fade out.

JAPAN shows up to prove that Maher is the greatest punk of all. Fuck ingenious efficient results based chaos we want real ego death!
CAIRO shows up to bring the post punk infinite fire.

Eastern zero's counterpoints:
Cinemontas delivered up spiral staircases
Projections on parketts, projections through mirrors, projections on canadian tires
The drugs hitting too hard too fast / crickets on the Ohio Speako Wio
Neighbours learn suffering as the first step on the paths of enlightenment

Vancouver in the 90s:
Feldman tapes stolen from the Pofi bar while the holes get drilled in spoons.
Japanese noise at Edison electric
Dance club bass leakage into Dixieland inns makes microsound better while the glasses sway and free jazz combats
Plus... toilets on the Fourth of July.

Truly we are living in the best of all possible worlds.

We start the show with foot fetish snuff films. This leads through some pzm mic cables to an understanding how the things that attracted you become you.

We learn through lost super 8 cartridges that fascination is the root of all suffering. Yet, anything is possible! Love, sure, is a perfect example. Another is Alice Coltrane’s visitation by Stravinsky’s ghost to be told about Jacob’s episode pick... not to mention the wire and light John Coltrane.

Enthusiasm beats considered intellectualism every single minute.

This is not what I signed up for, this is exactly what I signed up for.

Legendary experimental film maker and the perfect person to be on any podcast, Mark Loeser, joins us at all the usual tables, wearing a t-shirt that says Aztec camera.

Also, gateway fluff piece into edgy tescreal-curious Lifestyle for (insert stereogum target audience)? Just two clicks away to r*cial h*ly w*r thread on dank web, so uncritically irresponsible

The more capital you accrue, the worst the guestlist becomes. I don't blame Claire, I blame the formula

Current administration and AI deserve each other

We visit Japan for the hollow sound, where the dishwasher brings the low-key vocal virtuosity shredding. Something short shows us the bubbles we live in.

And: New York hates you.

We close our trip to the Canadas in the ultimate hall of Kierkegaardian expensive cassette mirrors, to look at some paintings somewhere near Niagara Falls.

Back to Brooklyn for delicate shredding and something new with guitar.
You can do it still!

Beginners mind is the key to keeping the Kaoss Pad unlimited.

The universe explodes into so many layers of simulation and then: Whitney Houston confetti, powered by a nuanced critique of the colonialist anthropological instinct.

We move to frozen Canada and double down on the vowels.
The CD Esoterik exclusive track hits the sweet spot where the snake eats its own tail, and recursive logic extrapolates toward its ultimate goal: ecstatic ghost hum production.

Another early Sunday.

Leon asks the infernal 8-ball what's up. Flipped over, it says: go both speeds at once.

When we take its advice, the sun is driven poorly by the wild son. The earth scorches. The father smites the son. The cycle continues through the Iraq War, maybe all the way to 2025.

First Eurythmics album is totally slept on!
