Interview with Graham Massey from 808 State 

Graham Massey, mayor of Yarriambiack Council, spoke with Jason Regan on FlowFM's Country Viewpoint about the council's legal battle at IP Australia to trade mark the phrase 'Silo Art Trail'.

Björk's  sophomore album Post marked a significant change in the singer/songwriter's career. For one, it was heavy; the growl of her voice, the grittiness of the instrumentation on songs like Army of Me, the music videos directed by Michel Gondry. Post was also much more unpredictable that her first solo album Debut. Björk collaborated with a ton of different producers like Tricky, Graham Massey, Howie B, and Nellee Hooper, who all brought in their unique flavor to this eclectic album.Writer and critic Emily Yoshida joins us to discuss Post, the truly wild videos released for this album, and the many characters of Björk's voice.More on Emily Emily's work on VultureThe Night Call podcast with Emily, Molly Lambert, and  Tess LynchTwitter | InstagramMore on PostPitchfork's retrospective review of PostBjork's video for Army of MeShow Tracklisting (all songs from Post unless otherwise indicated):Possibly MaybeHyperballadEnjoyArmy of MeIt's Oh So QuietBjörk: Litli Tonlistarmadurinn Betty Hutton: It's Oh So QuietIt's Oh So QuietPossibly MaybeDJ Shadow: Mutual SlumpHyperballadMartin White: Army of MeIsobelIt's Oh So QuietI Miss YouHyperballadRufus Wainwright: Greek SongFKA twigs: mary magdaleneHere is the Spotify playlist of as many songs as we can find on thereIf you're not already subscribed to Heat Rocks in Apple Podcasts, do it here!

Finitribe special with David Miller in conversation The band formed in Edinburgh in 1984 by Chris Connelly, John Vick, Andy McGregor, Philip Pinsky, David Miller and Simon McGlynn. Initially a post-punk guitar outfit, the band released a debut E.P. Curling and Stretching on their own Finiflex label in the summer of 1984, graduating to their first John Peel Session in 1985 before rethinking their whole approach in the mid 80s. Tired of the conventional drums, bass and guitar set up, they acquired a sampler and began experimenting with electronic music. The result was Let The Tribe Grow, an EP released on the Glasgow label Cathexis and featuring 'De Testimony', a seminal dance floor anthem for the original Balearic/Acid House generation. Subsequently, they signed to Chicago label Wax Trax and released two singles, "I Want More" (a cover of the Can song) and "Make it Internal", raising their profile in the States and resulting in extensive radio and club success. A long and arduous "toilet" tour of the UK in 1988 led to the departure of three members – including Connelly who relocated to the States and joined the Revolting Cocks and Ministry – and a parting of the ways with Wax Trax Records. This in turn resulted in a resurrection of the Finiflex label and a distribution deal with Fast Forward for a long-awaited debut album, Noise Lust and Fun. The band was now made up of Pinsky, Vick and Miller along with various contributions from Little Annie, Rosanne Erskine and Wilf Plum. A series of remix EP's proved their electronic and dance floor credentials and brought indie chart success. The band met and signed a long-term publishing deal with Andy Heath (director of Beggars Banquet and Momentum Publishing), allowing the band to grow and develop without the constant need for advances from record companies. After signing a new deal with One Little Indian the band with encouragement from label boss Derek Birkett ran into controversy almost immediately with the 'Animal Farm' EP. Subverting the nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald" for the purposes of berating the similarly titled hamburger outlet, Finitribe (as they were now known) offered up a flavour of the anti-consumerist stance prevalent on new album Grossing 10k (1989). The subsequent threat of legal action was not exactly helped by a "Fuck off McDonald's" poster and T-shirt campaign. The band continued to develop stronger links with the electronic music world for their next single and album. Andrew Weatherall produced and remixed the single "101" (1991) along with Graham Massey from 808 State. Justin Robertson then worked with the band to remix and produce the singles "Ace Love Deuce" and "Forevergreen" (1992). These singles all featured on the band's most critically and commercially successful album, An Unexpected Groovy Treat (1992), the last album they were to record for One Little Indian. The success of this album allowed the band to re launch their 'Finiflex' label and the in-house production team recorded and released many singles including those by Justin Robertson, State of Flux, Ege Bam Yasi and Sparks. A Finiflex Compilation album And Away They Go was released to critical acclaim in 1993. The band was redeveloping their studio complex in Leith during this period and coordinated all management, recording, press and merchandise from there. After leaving One Little Indian the band further developed their studio complex and looked for a new recording deal. With the assistance of Tom Watkins (Pet Shop Boys, East 17) the band negotiated a deal with Pete Tong at London/FFRR. This deal allowed for the completion of the state of the art recording studio in Leith and facilitated complete independence for the recording of their next album. For the writing and pre-production of the band's fourth album they relocated to a small crofting settlement called Sheigra. near Kinlochbervie in the north west of Scotland. In 1994 the band released the single "Brand New" and although a minor hit the relationship with London/FFRR was cooling. A further single "Love Above" and the album Sheigra were released in 1995. The band followed this with a tour with Sparks and then their own headlining tour of the UK. By early 1996 David Miller and Philip Pinsky split from John Vick, the former continuing with Finitribe and John Vick successfully continuing with the studio complex Finiflex. The slimmed down Finitribe, now operating from house built on the side of a volcano, started a new label U.G.T and released an LP by Acid House maverick Ege Bam Yasi. While looking for a new label and a new singer Finitribe went to Essex to work with former Prodigy collaborator Jason Byrne. The result was the EP Squelch and the meeting up with future producer Witchman(John Roome). For a short while the band hooked up with Chas Smash (Madness) as manager, this indirectly led to a meeting with Korda Marshall and a deal was struck with Infectious/ Mushroom Records(home of Garbage and Ash). Philip and David recruited a band and picked up some guitars and drums. The band's fifth album 'Sleazy Listening' was recorded in Edinburgh with John Roome (Witchman) producing. It featured Paul Haig, Little Annie, Niroshini Thambar, Chris Ross, John Roome and Katie Morrison. The album mixed electronica and live instrumentation and received critical acclaim. Melody Maker stating that, " If Finitribe had lived and worked in Bristol they would have won the Mercury Music prize by now". The album was launched with a sell out gig at The Shooting Gallery, Edinburgh with Davy Henderson's Nectarine No. 9. The band toured the UK with their most successful gigs for several years, headlining the ICA in London. They recorded the first ever John Peel live session and released three further singles for Infectious. This was the band's last album and tour. Their last gig was at a sell out Bath Moles Club in the summer of 1998. Other interests and priorities meant that Philip and David put Finitribe to one side . One more single was released 'Bored' (2000). In January 2014 the band reissued "De Testimony" on limited 12" vinyl and have plans to reissue further classics from their catalogue.  

"People will respond to any kind of music.” The post 11. Graham Massey – Musical Pioneer appeared first on MTF Labs.

808 State are an English electronic music group, formed in 1987 in Manchester, taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine. They were formed by Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson, and they released their debut album, Newbuild, in September 1988. The band secured commercial success in 1989, when their song "Pacific State"

Hello there, Stuart Maconie presents another batch of highlights to listen to on the BBC Sounds app. In this episode you'll hear Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley speak about their final Ladybird books for grownups. There's Sid Griffin enthusing about 60s mod group The Action, they've got a new boxset. Tamsin Grieg talks about Pinter at The Pinter, a series of all twenty short Pinter plays at the Harold Pinter theatre, which led Stuart to ask for your Am Dram and school play stories. And there's Graham Massey and Andrew Barker of 808 State talking about their 30th anniversary tour 808 State: 30 Live with Nottingham electronica artist Lone.

In the third of the Sounds of a City series, Colleen Murphy lifts the lid on New Order’s Power, Corruption and Lies and its relationship to Manchester. Speaking to the likes of Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Peter Saville, we breakdown the components of an album that fused punk and dance, art and experimentation, technology and rock, to create something for a new generation of tech-savvy music-philes to get their teeth into. A Certain Ratio’s Martin Moscrop and The Charlatan’s Tim Burgess discuss this perfect blending, whilst 808 State’s Graham Massey contemplates the fact that Manchester has more in common with New York than it does with any other British city. A story that may sound familiar, but with New Order were stepping out from the shadows of Joy Division the idea of experimentation is amplified and braver, and may not have even worked. And then there was that album cover. Read more here: http://www.classicalbumexperience.com/sounds-of-a-city-new-order-power-corruption-lies/

Let's cut to the chase for once... This month’s Finders Keepers Radio Show features GEORGE CLINTON and DENNIS COFFEY in person!!!! If you feel the need to read any further, on our fifth edition we ask Dr. Funkenstein himself about his favourite horror films and quiz him on the first Afro-American occult LP! Then we get "the white Jimi Hendrix" to tell us about the more obscure Sussex artists like Paul Parrish and Priscilla Coolidge while discussing his cassette only rap collection and dropping some heavyweight Coffey-breaks in between. Add a sprinkle of overused sound-effects, some O-Level amateur dramatics, tenuous micro-genres and a world record Rotary Connection namedrop count your faithful presenters Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton put a lively cast of characters in a big purple box and tie a paisley bow around it with a card that reads PSYCHEDELIC SOUL. These days the indulgent funk records that many of the Finders Keepers crew bought as teenagers are collectively worthy of their own record shop divider and with the help of childhood buddies like Mark "Boney Votel" Rathbone (and Preston soul fiend Stan), cosmic PSSW Jane Weaver, Invisible Spy Benjamin and 808 statesman Graham Massey we lay down a fine blend of obscure, obsessive, obsolete, oblivious and plain obvious spooked-out soul jams and fuzzy funk from around the globe (but mostly from the wild west). So gather round the bearskin rug for all this and much much less without a protective inner sleeve or a bottle of isopropylene in sight. The funky worm has turned... on!

With general election fever looming over our tiny island this month, the members of the B-Music assembly retreat to the Keepers Cottage to grunt, snarl, manipulate the truth, talk over the top of each other and make creative promises they cannot keep. Welcome to Arty Political Broadcasts. This month The Finders Keepers Radio Show looks at art school pop in all its guises - from DIY punk to flamboyant rock excursions; from punk poetry to opinionated pop via agit new wave, visiting theatre, sleeve art and a whole host of global artistic pop funk gestures along the way. Gathered for this one-off special message stalwarts Votel, Shipton, Mitchell do there utmost best to cram too many opinions into one space and overwhelm the listener in true parliamentary style joined throughout the show by original B-Music honcho, writer and closet situationist obsessive John McCready. Sporadic visits from extra special guests Graham Gouldman from 10cc, poetic spokesman John Cooper Clarke and Jane "Silver Globe" Weaver make this edition of our monthly mutant music magazine all the more enthralling while Graham Massey takes our reluctant mascot Tapeworm from the tip to the Toolshed and we keep the punkish paraphernalia rotating in vinyl and cassette form way beyond curfew. Consider this parliament hung(over)!

With the wake of a new season the third episode of Finders Keepers monthly radio magazine returns to your devices ushering musical lost property, foreign fuzz and multiple micro-genres via our regular cosmic conduits at the radio chronic workshop known only as the Keepers Cottage. This month’s episode is punctuated by the concept “Jazz Is Not A Four Letter Word” - a ten-year-old title that was original earmarked for part of a series of releases on Doug and Andy's hibernating Delay 68 label. Alongside other quadratic genres folk, prog and glam, jazz was once a misunderstood section known to polarise tastes like marmite and mustard sushi burgers but as many hapless vinyl junkies will testify the j word forms the backbone to some of the best record collections in the world and it obviously doesn't take a bunch of Saxonic nerds from Blighty (such as our guest Graham Massey from Biting Tongues/808 State) to fight its corner... but let's do it anyway. Expect some of the finest skronk platters from all corners of the globe in this months Jazz themed episode including free/spiritual/cosmic/improv/electronic and other permutations of the joyful noise with various random bursts of unrelated vinyl bliss in the mix courtesy of Votel, Shipton. Mitchell, Ozploitation purveyor James Pianta and not forgetting our favourite ferric oligochaeta Mr. Tapeworm. The jazz amnesty is in session; Iguarglaphones must be left at the door.
