KALX Myra X DJ Set, Saturday, March 9, 2013

Everyone else's music is always better or worse than yours.

Sandwiched between the choice sounds & clear production of Miranda Right's classic/alternative rock and DJ Hailstorm's excellent succession of soundtrack themes, my weird-hour set centered on simpler, slightly sad, bleached-bloodless melodies, with homegrown basement rap, self-recordings and the abandon of an internet meme variation-on-a-theme thrown in for 'Whatever' measure.

KALX Myra X DJ Set for Clinic 20, February 23, 2013: Play Local

I've always been a fan of local music (that dog., pictured above and youtubed below, although on a Geffen subsidiary/not unsigned still reps that mentality/sound.) However talented major acts are, without that Hollywood sheen over it music can can nurse your own abilities and feed your curiosities with the revelation of process-as-perfection. I think. Not to altar-ize lo-fi, poorly produced melodies or say local music is any of that these days. But interesting ideas have more of a tendency to slip through the cracks when a seasoned editor isn't chopping up your creativity from over your shoulder. Also, community is important, friends are important, and when that sense of camaraderie is infused in your music, the closeness to it can be the personal touch that grounds you, gives you values, moves you. See: millieu of scenes. See for background: Info on marketing firms of the early 20th century that homogenized the country with mass images (bad? tempered innovation by casting doubt on individual, conscious thought? Good? created a sense of global community, that we're all humans, doing human things...?) (Note: I do want to qualify local choons as different--not better. Sometimes that distance between you and the musician is a thing that works to foster imagination/boost your incentives, or heal you because you don't know the total context behind the musicians and can personalize it invent your own (marketing firms...)? If disassociation is what wakes you up or something, that is--non-local another kind of beast, anyway.) Cultivating local acts was sort of the underlying ethos of my/our Covers Coffeehouse events. And now that I've got West coast airtime, I hope I to continue to support the quality local cats who've got a good thing going on. So--if you've got a thing that sounds rad, send it to me for review. I'm apt to support you: [email protected] [Note to the strict listener: On a quality control tip, if I like it, I'll play it. If I don't, I won't--no accolades here.] On that note, this show featured local busker Marcellus Love, and a few up-and-comers from my D.C. hometown. In between were beats to get my late night drivers back home, plenty of dynamic guitar like on my 10-minute opener "Henry" by Pale Saints, and a choice tune from 70s Turkish activist Selda Bagcan sampled by Mos Def on "Supermagic" and looped by Madlib's little brother Oh No on his track "Heavy." Set check:

Myra X KALX Setlist for 2-9-2013, 9am-11am PST

Myra X DJs at UC Berkeley's student and community run radio station KALX. She'll be posting short recaps, head-shakingly off-center banter, and all-her-fun-band set lists once, twice, or thrice a month (more or less).

Just finished my set at KALX and I am super happy with it. I had an excellent co-DJ, and I made a few warm connections with fellow Krautrock fans. Nods to the Neu!-listener who called in and my less overseas new Einzelganger guru (check out Amazing Grace's show on KALX later today.)

That said, here is my played stuff. Jammy, drone-y, dance-y, noisy tracks at-length today.

Myra X KALX Set List for February 9, 2013, 9a.m.-11a.m. (w/ support from co-DJ) 9:03am Names Divine - "Travel the Road a Piece" - Something Vague and Maybe Rotting [S/R, 2011] http://namesdivine.com/new-album-something-vague-and-maybe-rotting/ 9:14am Henry Cow - "Ruins" - Unrest [Virgin (UK), 1974] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2718-shmJY 9:25am Kate Bush - "The Big Sky [Meteorological Mix]" - Hounds of Love Remaster [EMI, 1997] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2GDWtgd8zA 9:35am Omar - "Feeling You (Henrik Schwarz Remix)" - The Remixes [Peppermint Jam, 2010] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt1RiNZWnpY 9:42am Ada - "Les Danseuses" - Blondie [Areal, 2004] [Discogs clip]: http://clip.discogsmp3.com/MP3/SF1424147-02-01-08.mp3 9:50am Earwig - "Everyday Shines" - Under My Skin I Am Laughing [La-Di-Da 1992] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uastelJUIdk 10:00am Quickspace - "Quasi-Pfaff" - Quickspace [Kitty Kitty Corporation, 1996] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PeVOm4CMeE 10:09am Matt Pinfield - "Interview with Mary Lou Lord" [MTV, 1997] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZbGsYUiSWk 10:17am Helium Vola - "Selig" - Helium Vola [Chrom, 2001] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Ju2gFOHYA 10:26am New Order - "Subvulture (12-inch Version)" - Subculture (Qwest, 2001) [Youtube incorrectly titled] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaQRltaHnAE 10:34am Neu! - "Fur Immer" - Neu! 2 (United Artists) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3-86_Xq7fQ 10:46am Buzzcocks - "I Believe" - A Different Kind of Tension (Liberty, 1979) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJgcK7zh2I 10:54am Iggy Pop - "Sister Midnight" - The Idiot (RCA, 1977) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LDbxOFWZyg 10:58am Lee Ranaldo - "Some Distortion..." - East Jesus (Blast First, 1994) [Spotify link] http://open.spotify.com/track/2LKU8r8awbx7XeUk6MuRmC I'm can't say I'll be supplementing the set lists with links to songs every time. But--besides giving you a taste of my taste--I think it's always great to support the newer musicians and lesser-known veteran bands out there who have cool sounds you might want to hear (but aren't totally familiar to yet) with extra-mile ways to access them.

And finally, a half-funny closing story for all of you: So I'm driving with someone out of the studio and we get stuck behind a double parked postal truck. He: "I wonder if they give tickets to the postal service." Me, still hearing station ling: "Well staff members get a plus one usually and since they're playing soon I'll check, but you'll likely have to buy your own ticket." He, realizing we are both on totally opposite pages: --shakes head, muffled laughter-- "No.. "

Thanks for listening, ladies and men. If you are so interested, keep in touch via my Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Myra-X/465946516799734?ref=hl

Good cheer to you all this bright Saturday.
