Background "talking-over" music for this episode was "Flatbed to Kyaiktiyo" by Parallel Pyres.
Please check out more of his jams here

For this week's episode of New Shit, I played my selection of new releases straight through with the exception of the last album (Expressway comp) which I played selections from due to time constraints (not that time exists, ass-people).

NEW SLIP: AJ's Final Chapter

After about 3 or 4 years of hosting New Shit, this was my

(AJ) final crack at it, and i was pretty sad to let it go....

New Shit is run by CKUT's Music Department, it

focusing on new releases in CKUT's Library while serving as

a training ground for new station volunteers to learn how to

operate the station's main on-air broadcast console.

I was going to start off with Europe's the Final Countdown,

but then i remembered the Acapella version of Roy Orbison's

Crying sung in Spanish by Rabekah Del Rio during the

theatre scene in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive which is

more in tune with the new shit vibe. I slowed it down and

worked CKUT's internet stream as a looper.

Here's the track listing for the show:

Rebekah Del Rio - Mulholland Drive O.S.T. - Llorando

Live sounds and howling in studio

Chris Watson - El Tren Fantasma - Los Mochis (Type)

JAson Urick - I love You -The Crying Song (Thrill Jockey)

Goodbye goodbye goodbye song

background music:

Eliane Radigue 's - transamorem transmortem (important records)

“Before the greatest achievement

Before the greatest detachment.
At the limit of the frontier space of the unconscious - tuned waves - "consonant things vibrate together".
Where does the change happen? In the inner field of perception or the exterior reality of moving things in the course of becoming.
"And time is no longer an obstacle, but the means by which the possible is achieved".
Eliane Radigue - June 20, 1973

or after the fact: ARCHIVES

We are very excited to have Ed Askew in studio for a live session this week

During the late ‘60s Askew recorded the psychedelic folk masterpiece “Ask the Unicorn” – his only album which has been released commercially until recent reissues – with only his ten stringed tiple accompanying himself. Little happened when it was released in 1968 by ultra-noncommercial ESP-Disk, the label which was best known for its free jazz releases and which is considered to be one of the most legendary independent labels of the ‘60s. Receiving barely any attention at all the record soon descended into obscurity even among the best informed enthusiasts of the in-crowd.

This in itself is not a unique story. It happens all the time. What makes this story worthwhile telling however is the fact that during all those years after its release its fire was kept alive solely by its unmatched and overwhelming urgency. His music proved so powerful that even time could not take it down. Slowly but surely more and more people started discovering the album. Word got around very gradually. It stole the hearts of listeners one by one. Something within this record made people fall for it like nothing before.

These are the kind of stories that should be told. Songwriters who are largely unknown to the public but have managed to find their place in the history of music, changing its landscape indefinitely and inspiring other artists for many decades without ever getting the deserved recognition. This small series of posts is dedicated to my favourite songwriters who were undeservedly forgotten.

Ed Askew grew up in Stanford, Connecticut after which he moved to nearby New Haven to attend Yale University in the early 60s. After having earned his art degree as a painter he briefly taught art at a high school in New York. It was then when he sent a demo tape to Bernard Stollman of ESP-Disk who quickly invited him to record his first record which would become known as “Ask the Unicorn”. The album received practically no promotion from the label – which was already plagued by financial difficulties – and quickly disappeared from circulation. The second album which Ed Askew recorded for ESP-Disk was never released – due to the eventual bankruptcy of ESP-Disk in 1974 – until the limited vinyl-only release on De Stijl in 2003.

When you talk about independent record labels you automatically talk about ESP-Disk. A New York-based record label, founded in 1966 by Bernard Stollman who was known for his almost spartanesque production methods and a strict no-retakes policy. With the motto: “The artists alone decide what you will hear on their ESP-Disk”; the label opened the door to a wide range of wildly creative sounds including Albert Ayler’s “Spiritual Unity” and is considered to be the most important exponent of free jazz. It is probably no coincidence that it took such a label to discover Ed Askew’s talents. And with our current discussion about independent music and its role in our musical landscape there could be no better example than Ed Askew’s “Ask the Unicorn”.

“Ask the Unicorn” contains a certain urgency. Like the recording of it was an act of desperation. The moment he starts singing and you hear his uniquely strained voice you immediately feel that he is frantically trying to tell you something extremely important. Part of this comes from a less romantic and more practical situation. The instrument which he is using, the ten stringed tiple, is notoriously difficult to master and takes so much pressure to keep it under control that you can actually hear his continuing struggles in his singing. The tiple – which he describes as an instrument shaped like a baritone ukulele – offers stunning arrangements to his harrowing psychedelic folk songs and challenges conventional structure.

“Little Eyes” was recorded immediately following the poorly selling debut. The record shares a similarity with “Ask the Unicorn” when it comes to his strained vocals and his use of the tiple but it also shows his newfound interest in the piano. And again all the songs were recorded in one continuous take.

Lyrically, Ed Askew manages to create emotionally engaging images with tripped out, dreamlike lyrics which effortlessly seem to flow from him. Often abstract and abruptly shifting, his lyrics possess a certain timelessness. He addresses still difficult topics in a way that was well ahead of its time, managing to strip down his songs to the pure and beautiful essence with poetic elegance.

After more than 35 years Ed Askew’s music is more relevant than ever, still able to mesmerize its audience. As David Shirley once truthfully wrote: “This is music that will endure.”

Here's the thing - KDVS is a radio Station that operates at 90.3FM in

Sacramento, CA for the past 40 years! they are like CKUT's big sister,

running a free-form campus based community station at UC Davis.

But here's the punch... they run a fracken Record Label!!!
- i'm floored and very jealous.
To their knowledge they are unique in their kind

- a University Funded non-profit Record Label that came to light

in 2006. On top of running the label that records, produces and

packages some sweet sweet sounds, they have this great

Cassette of the Month, consider it a generous helping

of Local and outsider music delivered to you on a monthly basis.

Two artists featured on todays new shit came to us through

KVDS this week - Daniel Trudeau's Pregnant

and a double LP by Art Lessing (Dan Quilling) .

Pregnant - Ike Wimin - Someones Going to Love You - KDVS Recordings

Tim Hecker -Dropped Pianos - Sketch 7(Kranky)

Art Lessing - Lectures - Weirdest Places (An Electric Eggplant Recording)

i am still trying to wrap my head around this double LP

release - a compilation of works written and produced over

a span of 10 years

Here is a bit about Quillen as taken from KDVS's site:

A decade’s worth of selections from the career of hometaper/visual artist

Dan Quillen. Based out of Sacramento, this release qualifies some 24

releases Quillen’s performed on in the past decade, and a symbiotic

relationship having formed between him and local freeform college

radio station KDVS. Certainly the world wasn’t getting access to

Art Lessing’s dozen or so full-lengths and collaborations, and the

case could be made that he was making all of this music specifically

for airplay on the radio, with an ulterior motive of casting any listeners

within his grasp within a very specific moodspace of his own creation.

The project shifts between lo-fi basement riff rockin’ and more placid

escapes, headtrips blaring back from the history of weird/out there

music being reflected onto pockets of Northern California in some

sort of perpetual motion device of media influence and … my god

this guy is a super villain (and he draws like Vaughn Bode but with a

much thinner point). Get lost in the psychedelic marshes of one sinister

man’s mind. It’s a pretty mellow trip, orange sunshine all around.

500 copies, comes with a hand-stitched lyric booklet and sketchpad,

containing loads of Quillen’s alternateuniverse scribbles. --- Doug Mosurock
