23 Skidoo with Alex Turnbull in conversation with David Eastaugh Formed in 1979 by Fritz Catlin, Johnny Turnbull and Sam Mills, and later augmented by Alex Turnbull and Tom Heslop, 23 Skidoo had interests in martial arts, Burundi and Kodo drumming, Fela Kuti, The Last Poets, William S. Burroughs, as well as the emerging confluence of industrial, post-punk and funk, heard in artists such as A Certain Ratio, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Pop Group and This Heat. Their first 7", "Ethics", was released in 1980, followed by "The Gospel Comes To New Guinea" & "Last Words" 12" single which was co-produced by Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk and Chris Watson from Cabaret Voltaire at their studio, The Western Works in Sheffield. A Peel Session was recorded on 16 September 1981. Their début album, Seven Songs, was released in 1982 and is said to evoke the claustrophobic humidity of an African forest. The album went straight to number 1 in the Independent charts. Seven Songs, which was recorded and mixed in three days, was co-produced by Tony, Terry and David, aka Genesis P-Orridge, and Peter Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV and engineer Ken Thomas. A hastily executed EP, Tearing Up The Plans, was produced in the absence of the Turnbull brothers, who were travelling in Indonesia. The personality clashes that arose from this experiment resulted in guitarist Sam Mills and vocalist Tom Heslop leaving the band soon after. The band performed for the first time as a three piece, joined onstage by David Tibet of Current 93, at the first WOMAD festival. This live performance would go on to become the first side of the band's most challenging release, The Culling Is Coming, which also features Skidoo's exploration into gamelan on side two. The album resulted in the band being criticised for being 'too abstract'. 1984 saw the arrival of bassist Peter "Sketch" Martin following the break-up of Linx. Skidoo recruited Aswad's horn section for the "Coup" 12", which featured samples from Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and which was interpolated from their track "Fuck You G.I." from the album Urban Gamelan (1984). Urban Gamelan features Sketch on side one and, on side two, the original three piece line-up experimenting with metal percussion using patterns inspired by gamelan. After having been evicted from their rehearsal space at Genesis P-Orridge's "Death Factory" the band shifted their focus towards hip hop and turned their attention to production and building a studio, Precinct 23. In 1987 they released a compilation album, Just Like Everybody, featuring work from this period. In 1987 the Turnbull brothers formed the Ronin label and released Jailbreak by Paradox, widely regarded as one of the first breakbeat records, as well as tracks by British photographer Normski and MC FORCE. In its later incarnation, Ronin released material by Deckwrecka, Roots Manuva, Skitz, Mud Family and Rodney P amongst others. They signed to Virgin Records in 1991 and were able to build a new studio with their advance. In 2000 they released a self-titled LP, which featured contributions from Pharoah Sanders and Roots Manuva. This was followed by a compilation of singles, The Gospel Comes To New Guinea in 2002, and for the first time on CD, reissues of Seven Songs and Urban Gamelan. In 2008 the expanded catalogue CD reissues were issued by LTM, who also issued a double-vinyl edition of Seven Songs in 2012. This issue featured the 1981 John Peel session and 12" versions of "Last Words" and "The Gospel Comes To New Guinea". In November 2013, the band played the final holiday camp edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Camber Sands, England. In 2012 Alex Turnbull co-directed Beyond Time, a documentary film about his artist father William Turnbull. The film was narrated by Jude Law and scored by 23 Skidoo with both new and old material. The soundtrack album (packaged with a DVD of the film) was released by Les Disques Du Crépuscule in 2014.

Britt Walford is a highly revered drummer in indie-rock circles and beyond. His work behind the kit in bands like Slint, the Breeders, and Squirrel Bait is immensely influential and often imitated. He's toured the world, headlined the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, and recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini. He Sat down with JC to talk about classical music's influences on his musicianship, his early drumming, touring in a van as a teenager, and what made the Slint reunion (finally) happen. Listen as JC geeks out a little too much about 'Spiderland', and notice Britt's patience with the entire process. This episode brought to you by Monnik Brewing Co. and Dauntless Distributing.

Season 2.5, Episode 5. More festival goodness, this time with special, not to mention familiar, guests! Featuring Matt Tyrer and Gordon Kochane, whom you will remember from our very first episode back at the final All Tomorrow's Parties, way back when. This week, Matt & Gordon join John & Mike at King Street Studios in their alphabetical run-down of the acts playing at Safe As Milk in April 2017, resulting in an interesting split of opinions on both music and pronunciation of Hieroglyphic Being, Horse Lords, and Anna Meredith. Also, Gordon begins a four-week path of having his beer horizons broadened. Can't wait to find out what's going to happen? Put down your horse magazine for young girls, and listen on! #SafeAsMilk #Podcast #Music #Review #HieroglyphicBeing #HorseLords #AnnaMeredith #Koalas #Beer #KingStreetStudios
Read a book with the boys from Natch. Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil & Gillian McCain // Prologue, All Tomorrow's Parties, 1965-1968 // Part One, I Wanna Be Your Dog, 1967-1971 natch9000@gmail.com
We start this week with tales from All Tomorrow's Parties - where Gaz played with Charlotte Church using the Industrial Radio MIDI Bass, then on to Novation's massive Circuit firmware updates, Apple drop support for Quicktime on PC at the same time as vulnerabilities are found, 2nd Sense Audio - Wiggle a Waveshaping software instrument, how to stop your cat biting sub woofers and other studio fixes, Ikea furniture, and Ty gets something off his chest..
It's weird how much of a difference a single letter makes. Changing an M to a W turned Mario from an athletic Princess rescuing plumber to a money-obsessed games designer who stinks of garlic. Similar changing an A to an E makes Parko no longer a diaeresis-obsessed games journalist who constantly loses his shoes to Jason 'Perko' Perkins - the managing director of Curve Studios who, along with Rob Clarke, is this episode's Super-Special Guest.And we perhaps weren't in the best frame of mind, with this episode being recorded after Ann and Ste got the All Tomorrow's Parties festival shut down. The Curve boys did appear to be better prepared than us at the beginning of the show, but we soon found out that they had trouble with electronic devices. Which probably isn't the best inside of the Resonance FM studio with all of its electronic devices.Inspired by Jeremy Paxman and his beard we tried a new method of interviewing, which immediately paid absolutely no dividends. So then Simon tried being nice which seemed to work much better. Perhaps we should try to be nicer to everyone (We agree - Parko and Keith Stuart). We did find out some exclusive gossip about Mike Bithell that blows apart what we previously knew about the creation of Thomas Was Alone.As usual at this time of year we talk about the forthcoming Christmas party which is close to selling out despite Keith not keeping up with his end of the bargain. If you're coming please remember to bring some games for Secret Santa (and put what games system the games are for) and also be fully prepared for the Pipmas Anntomime that we'll be premiering that night (with a view to transferring to Broadway). If you're not coming then please feel free to provide us with more karaoke songs for us to sing.Not only did we have all that in the show but we also had Local News and a returning Science Officer. The rest was all down to Ann, who scared her flatmate by playing a game, became a YouTube Superstar and also came up with the equation that six PS4s are the same as no PS4s.Cheerio!Team OLL xLinks:http://oll.eventbrite.com (last time, promise)https://twitter.com/curvestudioshttp://www.curve-studios.com/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q-73eWgUP0Tracklist:1.

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 is the sound of spongy pop music hitting a brick wall. Playfully weird and fuzzy, this group of pop deviants has annoyed and delighted since 1986. Even though the band hasn't released any new music in ten years, Thinking Fellers fit right in at Asbury Lanes (yes, a bowling alley) on opening day of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, inciting the weekend's rowdiest crowd. Recorded on Friday, September 30, 2011.
All Tomorrow's Parties marked the first of many collaborations to come between Lisa and Christine Johnston. The work was inspired by the music of The Velvet Underground and the dramatic height difference between these two ladies!
