Musician Owen Ashworth (Advance Base) joins our ongoing "Alone for the Holidays" series with a discussion of JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES starring Delphine Seyrig. At the age of 25, Chantal Akerman wrote and directed this slow-burning Belgian drama depicting the daily chores of a widowed mother in exacting detail. Through a series of static long takes, we become accustomed to Jeanne Dielman's well-worn pattern of cooking, cleaning, caretaking, and sex work- until the pattern breaks down and her behavior grows increasingly erratic. When first screened at Cannes in 1975, JEANNE DIELMAN was met with a mixed reception, but subsequent re-evaluation deemed it a masterpiece of slow cinema. In the 2022 Sight and Sound poll, JEANNE DIELMAN was voted to be the greatest film of all time by critics, and is but one film of many in Akerman's body of work to grow in esteem since her 2015 death. Join us as we try to figure out the deal with DIELMAN, taking a few diversions into Aki Kaurismäki, Cold Mountain, Playtime, Afire, famous filming locations, housecleaning, and much, much more!

🔴 #Fitz38 Existen 38 estratagemas según Schopenhauer para ganar una discusión, nosotros somos más de la filosofía Keanu Reeves dar la razón en todo porque ya no estamos para discusiones. Toda la semana manteniendo una actitud positiva procurando no gritarle a nadie... y no es poca cosa. Comenzamos la selección musical con la deliciosa “La noyée” del gran Serge Gainsbourg , enfant terrible del panorama cultural francés., icono, provocador, que compuso originalmente esta canción para Michel Legrand Official, que se hizo muy conocida en la versión de la Carla Bruni. Continuamos con un himno generacional, suena el “Mal salvaje” de Espanto un tema perteneciente a su disco “Fruta y verdura” 2016 que nos emociona porque en el fondo nosotros también hemos querido ser salvajes. El dúo logroñés como afirma el escritor Miqui Otero -autor de Hilo musical- forman parte de esos grupos se suben por primera vez al escenario con más de 30 años "porque no tienen ningún interés en triunfar en la música, sino en no fracasar en sus vidas…” El siguiente tema es una novedad Eloína “Intacto” de Mikel Erentxun con Quique González, adelanto de “Amigos de guardia”, el nuevo disco de Mikel Erentxun, que saldrá el próximo mes de septiembre. Un brindis por sus 35 años de carrera en el que Mikel ha querido compartir canciones de todo su repertorio —en solitario y con Duncan Dhu— con una veintena de amigos músicos que le acompañan a dúo o a trío. Con motivo de la muerte de la muerte de Rafael Berrio, Quique González le propuso a Erentxun hacer una de las canciones que Berrio y él habían escrito junto a modo de homenaje. Nos ponemos sentimentales. No vamos a México con “Esqueletos muertos” de Los Mundos, tema perteneciente a su séptimo álbum “La fortaleza de Sonido. Luis Angel Martínez y Alejandro Elizondo capitanean este proyecto que explora los distintos rostros de la psicodelia desde su natal Monterrey, Nuevo León. Baterías que emergen del subsuelo, guitarras que atraviesan distintos planos dimensionales, teclados que conectan con civilizaciones antiguas y voces que emanan lujuria. “Bobby Malone Moves Home” de Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, fue un grupo comandado por el músico estadounidense Owen Ashworth . Que componía su música utilizando simples teclados a pila Casio y otros instrumentos electrónicos , una canción que de alguna manera parece emparentada con la serie que vamos a comentar hoy. El Lo-FI llega más el corazón como los viejos discos de Gardel. "The Holding Hand", es una nueva canción de la banda de punk danesa Iceage , formada en el 2008 en la ciudad de Copenhague con una fuerte influencia heredada del punk rock de los años 70's, caracterizados por sus sonidos veloces y experimentales. Ha incursionado también en géneros como el hardcore punk, art punk y indie rock, siendo comparados con Fugazi. La canción es un lento avance hacia un feroz exorcismo. Estamos a un par de meses para que se cumpla el primer aniversario de Lockdown Blues, su último álbum de estudio . 🔴47:18 ▶▶▶ si no quieres spoiler ❗️❗️❗️detente aquí ⛔️ Hoy comentamos la serie de HBO “How to with John Wilson - John Wilson” Si hubiera que describir esta serie a un amigo, quizás lo mejor que se podría hacer sería decir: “Mírala y ya me cuentas”. Esta serie documental es uno de los experimentos más divertidos y creativos que ha parido la televisión este año, pero no se parece a nada que hayas visto antes. Es una lección de vida en la que un hombre utiliza Nueva York como paleta para hablar de los andamios, la memoria o los prepucios. Todo ello bañado con una capa de nostalgia y ternura inesperada en una producción con la que reírse a carcajadas.

Voice Games 6:38 Jocelyn Pook Ensemble Unknown Public 15 - Dancing/Listening 2003 18. Red Sex 5:37 Vessel Punish, Honey 2014 1. Alessi's Ark: Is singer-song-writer Alessi Laurent-Marke from Hammersmith. I nearly lived in Hammersmith, but in fact lived in Barnes, but very north Barnes – it went, our street, St.Pauls school playing fields, the River Thames, Hammersmith. 2. Lisa Gerrard Frequent listeners will know of my love for the contralto voice and of Lisa. When in Australia recently, I found a DVD about her which is part documentary, part music and which is excellent in my opinion. This track is from her latest album which is for download only at this stage. 3. Burial: is William Bevan from London. I've procured both albums so far and in the electronics field – they are top notch. This track's from his first album 4. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse I rather liked Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) and have all of his albums. He took his own life in March 2010. Danger Mouse has gone from strength to strength winning accolades and awards. 5. Casiotone for the painfully alone: is American, Owen Ashworth. He retired the name & songs in 2010 and now performs under the Monika ‘Advance base'. 6. Death in June: are a neofolk group led by English folky Douglas P(earce). They have been around since the beginning of the 80's and through various members have greatly influenced the more Avant garde /Industrial/rock (Nurse with wound; Throbbing Gristle; Current 93…) but with their various phases of performance art, left a nasty taste with, seemingly, their enthrall with a sanitised Nazism back in the 80's. 7. Leyland Kirby again with his evocation of times past using piano, other keyboards a single voice. He recently turned 40 and produced for download an album which has since disappeared. To everyone who purchased & downloaded that album however, he sent a personalised thank you email. How things have changed. 8. Death of the Neighbourhood is simply another one of Stephen Jones's many guises – know now as exBabybird, he also releases work under the Monika's of Black Reindeer; The Great Sadness; Deluder; Trucker as well as under his own name (and all to be found in my record collection) 9. CocoRosie I came to CoCo through Anthony (Hegarty, of ‘& the Johnsons' fame). Weird but wonderful with a confusing a website (probably down to Touch & go records) however, if you are prepared to wait for the download you will be rewarded with the girls singing. I'd stop there if I were you rather than clicking on! 10. Blank Mass: is Ben Power, one the founding members of F*Buttons, now out there on his own but doing rather well. He supported Icelandic band Sigur Ros UK tour last year (2013) 11. Matt Elliott Another of my favourite artists. Like Ben Power, another Bristolian. The music papers tend to bag him as ‘dark folk'. His early albums had a sound of the Eastern Europe and his latest a more Spanish Flamenco feel. This track is from his more Eastern Europe period and as most of his songs are over 8 minutes – this is one chosen for brevity rather than content. I still like it though. 12. Dirty Pretty Things: For Carl Barat, this is what happened after the Libertines fell apart following his dispute with Peter Doherty. It lasted from that time; 2005 until itself fell apart in 2008. 13. Balam Acab I think this track gives a wonderful atmosphere, sounding a little like Moby, except for the other-worldly vocals. Now overdue for another album I think. 14. Capt. Beefheart The Captain was and still is different. Not for the feint hearted, Beefheart was different with a capitol D. He is part of what is now termed ‘outsider music'. I loved Strictly Personal his second commercial LP in UK (after Safe as milk – also very good, so why did I sell it?) and before the famous Troutmask Replica. Troutmask was too over the top for many and compared with his first two albums – it is. However, Strictly P points the way with such great numbers as Gimme dat harp boy. That track, available on a compilation album, Gutbucket gave me my first glimpse of Beefheart-world and I had to go there, own the album, sing the tunes…. I regret selling his later works (Lick my decals off & Clear Spot). The ‘Mirror man' sessions have been re-released and ‘Electricity' from Safe as Milk always makes me think about watching the first pylons being constructed in the West Midlands to carry the demand for electricity following the baby boom. It was interesting watching the steeplejacks construct these things, but when they had moved down the line one was left with a scar on the land which forever changed Britain. I'm always reminded of this when I visit Tuscany. Hardly a pylon in sight and yet in England, no beautiful scenic part of the island can be seen without these lumps of metal, stretching out across the landscape. I saw the Captain in concert and festival several times, back in the day. He's gone now. 15. Amon Tobin is a Brazilian musician, composer and producer of electronic music. He is described as a virtuoso sound designer and is considered to be one of the most influential electronic music artists in the world. I bought a box set of retro stuff which includes a dvd to his concert for his work Isam – unbelievable at the time and I haven't seen anything like it since. 16. FKA Twigs Formally Known As Twigs because, like Dirty Pretty Things of a few tracks ago – someone else disputed use of the name as they had been using it for longer – so unlike DPT who worked live under the name ‘Bright Young Things' - Twigs opted for the ‘Prince' like, FKA. 17. Jocelyn Pook Ensemble The Unknown Public box sets are rather splendid in providing an introduction to the wonderful world of weird. This track is one of the more straight-forward on this set (Vol 15). 18. Vessel Yet another Bristolian, Seb Gainsborough. I lived in Bristol for a year. Always thought I'd return one day – but doubtful now. Bristol seems to have moved from the home of Trip-hop and Bass to Electronica! Using techno and house as a jumping off point Vessel manages to twist these things into something unconventional and alien, often creating music that sounds as if it's rhythmically out of control when in fact it's all tightly controlled chaos. I love it. 19. Dropping out with Kevin Ayres Enjoy, Peter

The Toadcast - the weekly podcast from Song, by Toad

The Dutchcast was named after football.  I was at the pub all day watching United play QPR and City getting done by Arsenal.  For some reason this reminded me of living in Holland, primarily because Arsenal have dropped off the pace in the Premier League a lot recently, but when I was in Holland it was the height of the Wenger vs. Ferguson clashes, so watching the team play again and actually caring about the result reminded me really strongly of a time when Arsenal actually mattered as a football club.  Harsh, but fair.So yes, in my reminiscences of my time spent living in Holland I have popped in a couple of songs I was introduced to by pals when I lived out there, as well as a cracking track by Bettie Serveert, one of the most well-respected Dutch indie bands out there.Added to that are a couple of new things from the internet, not least the new track from Owen Ashworth's new project Advance Base, as well as a demo from our pal Tom Western, who recorded four gorgeous demos in our living room about a month ago.  These songs are awaiting a proper recording, but for now the demos themselves are lovely enough. 01. Supergrass - Cheapskate (00.26) 02. Weeping Willows - Failing in Love (08.51) 03. Bettie Serveert - I'll Keep it With Mine (12.45) 04. Tom Western - Green Broom (Demo) (19.52) 05.
