This week we once again delve into the music of Rebetiko and it's historical context on how it shaped the musical landscape of Greece for ever. Rebetiko is basically an umbrella term, comprising several forms of music that evolved in Greece and Greek speaking parts of the Ottoman Empire during the mid and late 19th century, until they unified in the early 20th century to form the distinctive sound that is associated with the rebetiko today.

This episode we delve into some songs from Ioanna Yeorgakopoulou , Stella Haskil & Sofia Karivali.  Rebetiko ( ρεμπέτικο), plural rebetika (ρεμπέτικα , occasionally transliterated as rembetiko or rebetico, is a term used today to designate originally disparate kinds of urban Greek music which have come to be grouped together since the so-called rebetika revival, which started in the 1960s and developed further from the early 1970s onwards.Rebetiko briefly can be described as the urban popular song of the Greeks, especially the poorest, from the late 19th century to the 1950s.

This week we delve into some rare recordings from Manolis Hiotis, listen to the heartbreaking violin playing of Alexis Zoumbas and also the beautiful singing of Demitris Arapakis. Once again we visit rare Rebetiko recordings made in New York in the early 1920s.

Vassilis Tsitsanis 18 January 1915 – 18 January 1984. He became one of the leading Greek composers of his time and is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern Rebetiko and Laiko music. Tsitsanis wrote more than 500 songs and is still remembered as an extraordinary composer and bouzouki player. This podcast episode delves into the pre-war period of his songwriting between 1936-1940.

Rebetiko probably originated in the music of the larger, mainly coastal cities in today's Asia Minor with large Greek communities during the Ottoman era. In these cities, the cradles of rebetiko were likely to be the hashish dens and coffee shops, and even the prison. There is a certain amount of recorded Greek material from the first two decades of the 20th century, recorded in Constantinople/Istanbul, Egypt, and in America, of which isolated examples have some bearing on rebetiko, such as in the very first case of the use of the word itself on a record label. This podcast series delves into the music from the underground that changed the musical landscape of Greece forever.

Beware: the present episode will have double the action and triple the excitement! Not only will a new presenter… be… presented – as we will be set in an adventure, together with Δημήτρης Μαυροματάκης, through one of the most important traditions of Greek music, Ρεμπέτικα. The Greek Blues, as some say! The present edition will […]

Maria Paravantes returns, this time giving us a snapshot of Greek music history. A student of music herself, we discuss Byzantine chants, Rebetiko and popular music: Laïkó. Song Used: ‘50 Hronia Rebetiko Tragoudi’ by George Dalaras.

The SNF DIALOGUES series of monthly events took its first trip outside Athens. A great number of friends of the event, which was open free and open to all, accompanied the SNF Dialogues in its first “escape” outside Athens, and traveled to Syros, the birthplace of Markos Vamvakaris. The visit to Syros took place in accordance with the event's theme, which was dedicated to the history of rebetiko. The event, which was hosted at the premises of the unique Syros Textile Factory, featured Dimitris Mistakidis, musician and teacher at the School of Arts in the Department of Traditional Music at the University of Ioannina, Giorgos Kokkonis, Assistant Professor in the Department of Music Studies at the University of Ioannina, and Karolos and Tanya Veanus Tsakirian, luthiers. The speakers shared their rich knowledge of the roots and influence of Rebetiko on the world music scene, its sociological value, its relatively recent destigmatization, and the cultural trends that have transported it across the globe. The event featured a presentation of the work of the tireless Rebetiko researcher , Panagiotis Kounadis. Mr. Kounadis has recently been developing, with the support of the SNF, a Virtual Museum dedicated to rebetiko. The project is implemented with scientific support from the University of the Aegean, which participates through its Department of Product & Systems Design Engineering, based in Syros. The Kounadis Archive is one of the best-organized archives, primarily featuring the urban folk music of 1900-1960. Established in 2007, it contains one of the richest collections of rebetiko music recordings and manuscripts, illustrating the uptick in creative musical composing during that era in Greece and abroad.

We hear Greek rebetiko music performed live in the studio, Yves Jacques speaks to us backstage about his role in Robert Lepage's The Far Side of the Moon, we learn about Bell Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra starring Catherine McClements, actor and playwright Kate Mulvany talks all things theatre, and Jason Di Rosso previews the 90th Academy Awards.

What is Rebetiko? ​It is the music of passion, pain and love. It is a tapestry woven of Byzantine, Turkish, Roma, Jewish and other musical forms, created in the Piraeus 100 years ago by Greek refugees from Asia Minor and has grown to become a globally respected musical style.​ Cat McGauran speaks with Con Kalamaras about Rebetiko music and its history. Con Kalamaras has had a long history within the world music community in Melbourne and in Community Radio. His background is as an active musician within the Greek Community, playing primarily in the Melbourne Rebetiko Ensemble, and has also produced many concerts in Melbourne. His ensemble has been a staple in many local and interstate festivals. Con’s passion for music also extends to his obsession for collecting rare European 78 records and for his ever growing LP and CD collection. Fascinated by the history of recording technology, Con has thrown himself deeply into researching the musical history of recordings and how these tie in with the mass movements of people and how these recordings have captured this history.

There were atrocious sound problems with this show, and much of it had to be completely reconstructed from the library. The only unaffected parts were the mic sets, and I found those especially obnoxious after the fact (they haven't aged well either). Apologies to any Kevin Ayers fans for marring a tribute to the man with my amateurism. One note: the Broadcast track was meant to evoke "Rheinhardt & Geraldine." Maybe I should have actually played that at some point. Download | Podcast Bold text indicates relatively new releases (including reissues and comps).

This week Gene and Derek review two new books (both translations from the French) and the first issue of a new series. They begin with David Prudhomme's Rebetiko (SelfMadeHero), a narrative centered around a day in the lives of five rebetes, musicians who were a part of the Greek folk music subculture in the 1920s and 1930s. The characters are outcasts, living on the fringe because of their love of rebetiko — often called “Greek blues” — and treated as immoral influences. Prudhomme uses the music and the lifestyle as a structuring device for his narrative. The Two Guys then turn to Pachyderme (SelfMadeHero), Frederik Peeter's surreal, dreamlike story of a woman who is searching — searching for her husband, whom she believes to have been in an accident; searching for her young female piano student, who elicits in her some sort of hidden passion; and searching for her own sense of self as a fully realized woman. The result is a free-flowing, associative story that seems to turn back on itself and resists closure. If you appreciate Charles Burns's dislocated narratives, you'll really enjoy Pachyderme. Finally, Derek and Gene discuss the first issue of Erik T. Johnson's series, The Outliers (Panelvision Productions/Alternative Comics). Beginning almost two years ago as a Kickstarter campaign, this is Johnson's adventure story of a speech-impaired boy who is able to see creatures living on the periphery of human consciousness, or outliers, that others cannot perceive. The guys are impressed by all three of the titles they discuss and heartily recommend that listeners run out to get these comics. This week is truly an alternative comics feast!

Or as we old birds call it: eBay Eve! paDOW! (I'm pretty sure I'm stealing that joke from someone, possibly even a music writer I've met. Lars? Christopher R.W.?) Grouse is low on planning time these days, so we get to hear that tried and true lazy DJ mainstay: the Let's Listen to Records I Just Bought But Haven't Listened To! show. It's a talky show: if you love the sound of Grouse's voice as much as he seems to himself, you're in for a treat! What is going on with all these shifting voice-POVs? I'm confused!

I did two terrible shows in February that are possibly permanently stuck in the podcast queue (programs 35 and 36). They contributed to a general loss of élan for the show and for Radio CPR in the month of March. I quit the station, I re-imagined (but never implemented) the whole podcast, and then I unquit. I'm back. I'm still a mess, but EASGS is back and maybe not going away any time soon.

All day I had the words "this world over" floating in my head, and only after doing this show did I remember that's a song title on my least favorite XTC record.* So it was left out of this impromptu apocalyptical set. A few months ago while reading about Kaoru Abe, I learned about his exploitative biopic. At the time, I joked that I should try to get the movie and play it on the air. And then I found the movie, and the Grouse stands by his word. It's a "Sid & Nancy for the free jazz set." The Lady Katie, listening from Shaw, asked if the movie was just sex and crying; and indeed it is. But also a few dust-ups, an amputated toe (for love's sake), and some blistering improv. As far as I can tell, the real Keiji Haino and Fushitsusha play themselves, on and off stage. My knowledge of the Japanese free jazz scene is extremely limited; with the exception of the lead actor, they all looked like real players giving semi-real performances. The entire movie audio was broadcast on 97.5 FM on 12.20.12. The entire audio is again presented here... because, what the hell. The full video is out there if you're really interested. Good luck finding subtitles! While on the air, I did my best to live tweet some visuals, and I've collected them at the bottom of this post. While typing these notes, I learned that the director of "Endless Waltz," Koji Wakamatsu, died in October. Let's just pretend, ex post facto, that this whole thing was a belated tribute to a director I'd never heard of. For podcasting purposes, I cannot link to anything above my audio link below. But click on his name in the playlist for the New York Times obituary. Rest in peace, Koji. The original plan for today was 1:44 to "Endless Waltz," 4 minutes to a late tribute to Ravi Shankar (the appropriate "I Am Missing You"), and 4 minutes for Bird's rendition of White Christmas. I hadn't planned to give in to the zeitgeist and do an end of the world set. But then the Lady Katie requested the Ted Leo track that we open with. I also showed up early for the first time in a great while, so bonus world-ending radio for all! *It would have made a good segue piece in this set too; from XTC to Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her (the band, named after the XTC song on "The Big Express"), to Kaoru Abe.

Pretty edgy for the mid-70s, huh? #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 aww look at the fat baby. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 for some reason kaoru switches to harmonica for the kid. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 shacking up with another lady, is horrible to her too. twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Now it seems that paranoia is plaguing poor Kaoru. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Time for a nice family stroll on the beach. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Did he bring her some sort of dead bird as a peace offering? #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 basically twice the man that kaoru is, because he can play a bigger sax AND a clarinet at the same time. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 how can kaoru and everyone else resist dancing to this amazing beat? #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 He literally cannot follow them. Bows and walks off without playing. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 uh oh, it's the pills mixed with booze part of the movie. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 which inspires a mean harmonica solo! #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 I thought this was gonna be the big one. Also thought he swallowed his harmonica at first. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Shaky feet. Maybe he's just cold and you should cover them up, Izumi. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Oh wait, that was the big one. And now a reprise of the movie's opening cheesy harmonica rendition of Amazing Grace. #endlesswaltz— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 His funeral has an unholy sounding duet on St. James between a harmonica and a sax. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 I like free jazz, but I feel bad for the people who have to attend this funeral. #endlesswaltz— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Oh, that opening scene... Kaoru wasn't watching her have sex. Imaginary Dead Kaoru was watching in Izumi's mind. #endlesswaltz— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Fat baby is all grown up, and she's all Izumi's got left. #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Don't do it Izumi, you've got a daughter to raise! #endlesswaltz twitter.com/KingGrouse/sta…— The Mighty Grouse (@KingGrouse) December 21, 2012 Also, who hangs themselves by leaning into a noose?

I feel like we haven't done a show this... stable?... in more than 6 months. Planning is caring, for my own sanity and for the ears of the discerning radio listener. The seed of this show was leftovers from the previous week (the dreaded 5th to 1st Thursday no-gap!). But toss in the unfortunate death of Dave Brubeck and some choice new material, and we get a program far superior--far more structurally sound--than the previous week. And then for the next show, December 20, we're returning to anti-radio! Download | Podcast Bold text indicates relatively new releases (including reissues and comps).

Nearly every Thursday that I do this show, I bring a copy of something by Daniel Bachman to the studio in my bag of records, tapes, CDs and other tricks. Yet somehow, I've only played him once in the 29 previous shows (Sacred Harp, way back in Program 4). And it wasn't even an official broadcast; it was something I tacked on after the fact. Well I'm making up for that in this program by plugging the hell out of DB's show in DC this Friday night. See the previous posts or listen to this podcast to find out the whens and wherefores.

Election day is almost here, much of the East coast is under water, and Halloween has come and gone without the Mighty Grouse making you listen to 15 versions of the Monster Mash. You come to us for satisfaction, and instead we give you these sadistic candles: a hurricane set, an atheist DJ acknowledging a Christian holiday, and a new track from Lello Boscoverde called "93 Years of Disappointment" (an invective to the Great Communicator). But what's really important is that we all Come Together, no matter what happens this Tuesday. And I think we can all unite over the majesty of Frederic Rzewski's tribute to the rioters of Attica (last track! show highlight!).

Back on the air in our regular format of totally batshit disorganization. We've got baseball, we've got tape noise, we've got plinky indie rock and skronky horns. And it's all tied together with a tattered twine of logic that only a bird could understand. The last bit of this show felt truncated (I was kind of hoping Uncle Matt would come super late).

DJ 86 and I decided to trade 3rd and 4th Thursdays this month. While it is not required by 86 or the station in anyway, I like to treat fill-in shows as a chance to cater to a different programming audience; doing a show that isn't exactly like The Cone of Noize but should hopefully find a way to appeal to its regular audience. Even though my show is "freeform" sometimes it's nice to take a break from the restrictions inherent in that form. Basically, in a world of absolute freedom, genre-rigidity is liberation!

On the spur of the moment, I decided that EASGS would unofficially take part in the John Cage Centennial Festival by airing Cage's ROARATORIO in its entirety. I swear it isn't because I forgot to plan this week's show (these back to back 5th and 1st Thursdays always sneak up on me!). For this program, I'm trying something different. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of you might not feel like listening to an hour-long Irish circus. Rather than making you hold down fast-forward (and risk skipping me entirely!) I've split the first half of the show off as Program 26.1. The podcast you can dance to is Program 26.2. Note, if you're the sort of weirdo who ONLY wants to listen to avant literary sound effects, my further discussion of the piece extends into the beginning of 26.2.

The City of New Orleans is at risk of washing away for the second time in ten years, so EASGS presents a set of New Orleans music as tribute in this podcast, curated by the Lady Katie (though this show was actually recorded when the only Isaac on our minds was of the Hayes variety).

Bill Doss of the Olivia Tremor Control died a few days before this program aired. The Mighty Grouse remembers some of his favorite Thebilldoss tracks, along with some more speaking tracks, and a few things rotating around the OTC part of his brain. The end of the program didn't record due to a pulled power cord in the studio, but it's been assembled here without the final awkward back-announce.

Feels like it's been a while since there's been a show without a grand theme. A return to normalcy? The new normal also apparently means I take 6 weeks and a day to process every podcast. Guess what, we're back on the air this Thursday/tomorrow at 7pm. Death is back, so expect their to be some sort of tribute to Bill Doss of the Olivia Tremor Control.

It's the day-late July 4th show (and the week late podcast!). The Mighty Grouse pays tribute to his sister bird, The Cuckoo, who only sings "cuckoo" each year on Independence Day.

The Mighty Grouse is a lazy bird. It is known. But I've been meaning to post this podcast for weeks. It almost went out right on the tail of the first half of the DEATH SET, but late night Audacity cleanup sessions can only take you so far before a 6 AM flight to Minneapolis. And now it's been in the can for a week waiting for Verizon to recover from THE GREAT STORM OF 2012. Goodbye DSL, you are dead to me, literally.

The Mighty Grouse has been out of town for about 2 months now. While stuck in New York I was hoping to make several appearances on Washington Heights Free Radio. Several became just one appearance last month. Here's a quick jump back into the past, a time when the Flyers still stood a chance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Another trip to Indonesia before landing back in the warm, familiar waters of the Caribbean. EASGS should be returning to the Washington DC airwaves soon... possibly even this coming Thursday at 7pm.
