I am shedding the skin I’m in.  Becoming someone new.  I can’t control it.  Being human.

A man of Faith.  Or Zany Zealotry, I don’t know which.  Don’t care…

You become smarter if you listen to music.  Especially if you’ve never heard it before.  A 5 minute song by Coltrane can contain as much genius as a book by Dylan Thomas or a picture from Picasso.

Tonight some jazz from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, a twisted Dylan cover and the immortal Nina Simone!  A one hit wonder, a struggle for pleasure and the skasters stop by.

This weeks site.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQ-IoHfimQ.  It could be your child.

If you want normal go somewhere else.

This weeks movie: v for vendetta.  A modern classic that tells the tale of us my friends.  Revolution is nothing new.  We usually leave it too late and we become the slaves that they want.  The hero wears a mask.  He could be you, he could be me.

John Hurt starred as winston smith in 1984 and as a very big brother type leader in v.  Amazing range.  Brilliant twist.

A free quote

“the true value of a man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth”. Gotthold Lessing (German dramatist)

Lemmy and an acoustic ace of spades!

Jerry lee and little Richard together in one set.  Roots.

Recommend Putumayo records for world music. Pick them up cheap in any used cd store but they have a great range of world music inside.

Been rediscovering the Beats.  Really intelligent though crazy people.  Tom Waits pays tribute to them tonight.  Monk too!  And a bit of spoken stuff from Jack Kerouac.

Early rock and roll with Robert Gordon and the shaking pyramids, fake news, political claptrap and passing phrases.  bluesbluesblues too!

This weeks movie. Zardoz. What happens when the primitive gains access to the decaying world of the immortals.  Strange savage movie with Sean Connery.  Proving that without that Primitive within ourselves we wither and die.  Sad truth of the yin/yang.

Have discovered how truly frightening AI is.  Had Bings co-pilot write me some Haiku poems and damn they were pretty good.  I have seen the future…   I’m going to see if I have a voice program and I’ll put the thing on air.

A night of many standards.  They’re songs that are covered in many different style by lots of different people over the course of years by people like the Crooked still and Siousie and the banshees and songs from Lou Reed to love me or leave me.  Hey some Charlie Parker too!

Robot news tonight (all true!)

“Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!” Robot Model B-9, Class YM-3, Environmental Control Robot.  Lost in Space TV series 1960s.

This weeks movie, an oldie but a goodie. Clockwork orange.  A laugh riot.  Futurist portrayal of the demise of man and the attempts by society to paper it over.  Odd camera angles and bright colours.  Droogs forever!

Upcoming movie news.  Danny Boyle has released the trailer for the summer release of 28 years later.  3rd in the classic zombie series.

A couple of old skasters got loose in the house tonight.  Catch’em for good luck!

A Paul Simon profile!  Poetry and Music from this understated elder statesman of song.  A wonderful career filled with multi-levels of meanings in the notes and words.  Giving and outgoing with a honourable life.  Listen for that deep African soul that he has been gifted with.  Ancient and wise.

I’m still looking for some tough slam poets to contribute their wisdom in pieces about a minute and a half.  vicious outlook preferred. aliens welcomed. AI too.

This weeks recommended website. https://www.tameri.com/exist/. Everything you’ll ever want to know about Existentialism.  And more…

I’m happy to say that I’ve gifted the station with my digital library.  Over 20,000 songs ranging from T Texas Tyler to Philip Glass.  Music of Mali to obscure 7” punk singles.  All sorts of jazz from the thirties to fifties, Monk, Coltrane and Davis.  Tom Waits and the Stranglers. And probably more styles than you can think of.

In the future you won’t be able to hear this material unless you pay for it on some streaming service.  I hope years from now you and your children will be able to enjoy it. Over 40 years of collecting.

Movie of the week. The Name of the Rose with the immortal Sean Connery.  Written by the brilliant Umberto Eco.  Please go to Wiki to look him up.  Twisted mystery set in a 14th century monastery.  As convoluted as the labyrinth of the library.  Everyone is Guilty and are Consumed.  The story of early thought control by the church.  The denial of knowledge should be a sin.

A short blues set, a great big love and Talking Heads.  What more could you want!

Lots of live tracks tonight.  A euro only release of some REM and a live track from Elvis Costello recorded at the Elmo. 

Try to think of listening to no crap as being a course in musicology.  When you challenge yourself to study you force yourself to grow.  Music is the oldest continuous form of communication.  The beat of the drum through the primordial night to 360 degree 3D sound through headsets. It has been with us always. A gift of god…

This weeks movie Fahrenheit 451.  The original from 1966.  Brilliantly shot and a great story.  Not so great acting or character development.  Dark dystopian aspects of social control that we see happening right now.  (They are taking hundreds of books out of libraries and schools in America.)  Bradbury was essentially a futurist and he along with Harlan Ellison and Philip K. Dick showed us the reality of now.  You can’t say you weren’t warned.

Ten percent of the jobs in Korea are now done by Robots.

Kimmy K just got the first Optimus companion robot.  Saw some pictures of this thing getting into a car and making heart gestures with his metal fingers.

Now I’m scared.

The Dropkick Murphy’s for some truth and some punky type stuff to get you dancing.

This weeks web site. https://www.wikiart.org. A fantastic data base of 20th century art.  Most of the work is never seen.

Me.  nocrapradio@yahoo.com   send tough poetry in a mp3 and I ‘ll try to get it on the air.  The time for Mercy has passed.  Panic runs Riot and there are no excuses left.

Serious fun week…. It’s all in the mix.

Hope you’ve enjoyed the mix so far. Tonight a genius woman named Natalie, tonight a genius woman named Nico, the true cost of wars no end, some real glam from a dinosaur and a wicked cure cover to kick it off.

Robot news report!  Bender for Leader!  Yeah I’m a Futurama fan.

I’ve been on for a couple of months now and still learning my way around.

If you like trancy-type hypno groove check out the show Merkaba Radio with host Brandon Szabo here every Saturday night 8 – 9 pm.  Smooth.

Odd truths?   

What say of it? what say CONSCIENCE grim, That spectre in my path?

This weeks movie recommendation. Child of Man.  What if time.  Catch the allegory in the movie when she disrobes and we see she is very pregnant.  She is in a barn surrounded by animals.  A compelling Jesus reference.  It shows what happens when the births stop.  Just stop.  Hope is lost.

Another one that deals with infertility is a TUBI movie called Colony.  Those who left a devastated Earth return.  Dark vision of the barbarian we are at heart.  And how we can transcend that.
