Japan is sinds afgelopen vrijdag het vijfde land op de maan. Wel is het nog onduidelijk hoe het precies gaat aflopen met hun maanlander SLIM. De zonnepanelen doen het niet en na een paar uur waren de batterijen leeg. Maar terwijl alle ogen en schotels gericht waren op SLIM, keken ze bij de radiotelescoop in Dwingeloo naar iets anders: een klein apparaatje dat tijdens de landing over boord werd gegooid. Waarom? Vanaf dat hoppertje werd door Japanse radioamateurs een signaal gestuurd dat ze hier in Nederland beter binnen konden halen dan in de Japanse controlekamer zelf lukte. Daarmee hebben ze ook in Dwingeloo een primeur: ze ontvingen de eerste amateurradio vanaf de maan.  Tammo Jan Dijkema, vrijwilliger bij de radiotelescoop in Dwingeloo en onderzoeker bij Astron, vertelt meer over wat ze hebben ontvangen en wat daar nou zo bijzonder aan is.

Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker of the band Glitterfox! The duo first met at a coffee house open mic in Long Beach, California, where Walker had recently relocated after growing up in North Carolina and Virginia. She quickly fell in love with Igoa's voice, knowing that if their vocals and her guitar came together that would only flourish—and it did, the two now married and having spent more than a decade as a pair. Musically, channeling Walker's Southern warmth through Southern California indie shine, Glitterfox carves out lithe, nostalgia-fueled anthems powered by the intimacy of their relationship. “A lot of our songs are about serious challenges in our lives,” Walker says. “All the struggles in my life get poured into the music, but always with this silver lining of hope, this drive not to quit before the miracle happens. Making a living as an independent musician is hard, but we've always had each other and always made it work.”   Igoa and Walker quickly found new roots when they moved out of their van and settled down in Portland, Oregon, in 2018, quickly cementing a reputation for their boundless energy and positivity. Soon they were joined by Eric Stalker, a singer-songwriter who got along with the couple so well that he volunteered to learn bass as a way to join their band. Drummer Blaine Heinonen followed, the quartet now capable of producing grander leaps of musical gravity to crash through the couple's golden-hued compositions.    The group's soaring intimacy quickly won over Pacific Northwest fans and heroes in addition to Funk, with Kill Rock Stars label head Slim Moon who jumped at the opportunity to sign them. Despite that rapid growth, the beating heart of Glitterfox will always be Walker and Igoa's love. “Having a band that's built around a healthy marriage is cool because it has longevity.

Suivant les traces des premiers labels punk américains des années 80 tels que SST, Dischord et Alternative Tentacles, Kill Rock Stars était dans les années 90 le label référence de la scène musicale d'Olympia dans l'état de Washington et le label à l'origine du mouvement Riot Grrrl. Slim Moon déménage à Olympia a 18 ans et tombe, dans une galerie d'art, sur un spectacle de Spoken Word de Jesse Bernstein, époustouflé, il commence à en écrire et à en jouer. Il s'implique , alors, fortement dans la scène musicale locale. Il joue dans un tas de groupes différents, notamment dans le groupe de rock expérimental Witchypoo dans lequel il rencontre Tinuviel Sampson. Il décide de créer, avec elle, un label dans le but de sortir les enregistrements de Spoken Word de leurs amis. Moon en s'inspirant des labels comme Touch and Go, Dischord mais aussi K Records, souhaite diriger sa maison de disque d'une manière juste et respectueuse pour les artistes. « Wordcore Volume 1 » devient, en 91, la première sortie de Kill Rock Stars. Le disque comprend un poème de Kathleen Hanna de Bikini Kill en face A et des morceaux de Spoken Word de Slim Moon en face B. La même année, Moon revoit sa position de ne sortir que des enregistrements de Spoken Word après avoir vu le premier concert d'Unwound, et sort leur premier single. En août 91, Calvin Johnson et Candice Pederson, du label K Records, organisent, à Olympia, un festival de musique indé appelé Internationale Pop Underground Convention. Son but est de réunir des groupes avec les mêmes valeurs « Do It Yourself » et anticapitalistes, et de prôner l'indépendance artistique. Fugazi, Built To Spill, The Fastbacks ou les Melvins s'y produisent. La première soirée nommée Love Rock Revolution Girl Style Now est entièrement consacrée aux groupes féminins punks et queercore comme Bikini Kill, Heaven To Besty ou Bratmobile. Le magazine Spin parle même de la convention comme du vrai Woodstock des années 90. Olympia apparaît pour la première fois, sur la carte des scènes qui comptent. Pour l'occasion, Slim Moon sort la première compilation de Kill Rock Stars. Elle instaure déjà la ligne de conduite qui sera la caractéristique du label : autant d'hommes que de femmes. Une mixité qui sera la ligne politique de Kill Rock Stars jusqu'au départ de Moon en 2006. Bien que le label n'ait jamais été affilié à un genre ou un mouvement musical particulier, Kill Rock Stars sera toujours lié aux groupes Riot Grrrl des années 90, comme Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Huggy Bear, Heavens to Betsy et Excuse 17 qu'il n'a jamais cessé de promouvoir. Le partenariat le plus fructueux de l'histoire du label a sans doute été son association avec Elliott Smith. Le succès de Smith a inauguré une nouvelle ère chez Kill Rock Stars. Au cours de la décennie suivante, le label a adopté une palette sonore plus large qui s'est de plus en plus appuyée sur des musiciens inspirés du folk rock comme The Decemberists et Thao Nguyen. Le label sortait parfois plus de 50 albums par an, un chiffre bien supérieur à celles des autres maisons de disques de l'époque. Un rythme effréné qui épuisera Moon. En 2006, il annonce alors son départ de Kill Rock Stars pour travailler chez Nonesuch Records, une filiale de Warner Music. Sa femme Portia Sabin, prendra la direction du label jusqu'à son retour en 2019. Connu pour ses sorties importantes de groupes Riot Grrrl, Kill Rock Stars est un modèle de label indépendant et à travers son intégrité, il est devenu l'une des maisons de disques les plus influentes de la musique indépendante.

Kill Rock Stars founder Slim Moon discusses the start of the label, his friendship with Kathleen Hanna, the lasting genius of Elliot Smith, Unwound and more.

For the 25th Anniversary, Elliott Smith’s friends and collaborators, including Larry Crane, JJ Gonson, Tony Lash, Slim Moon and Leslie Uppinghouse, offer a unique oral history of how the Self-Titled record was created. With many new details that have never been heard before, Tony Lash and Leslie Uppinghouse describe the DIY processes that Elliott used while recording songs at their homes. From Elliott teaching himself how to play cello, to using cracked and out of tune guitars, to calling family members for help remembering lyrics, you’ll hear stories about how the album came together. Larry Crane, JJ Gonson and Slim Moon also reflect on where Elliott was at during this period, when the Self-Titled record ended up becoming a turning point in his solo career.

On this week's World of Noise, Slim Moon, the once and future head of indie label Kill Rock Stars, joins Bob Ham to discuss his relationship with singer/songwriter Elliott Smith and the work he did helping release Smith's self-titled album in 1995.

This week’s show is a rebroadcast from April 2017. Twenty-two years ago Elliott Smith opened a door into a hypnotic new world. The album, “Either/Or,” released on Kill Rock Stars, marks a turning point in Smith’s transition from Portland rock journeyman to international star. This time had enormous consequences for Smith personally and professionally, but it also gave us heart-stopping music that continues to inspire fans and musicians all over the world.

Our guest today is Slim Moon, the founder of the record label Kill Rock Stars.    KRS put out two Elliott Smith albums, the self-titled record (1995) and Either/Or (1997), so Slim had pretty much a front row seat as he saw Elliott firmly establish himself as a successful solo artist.    As you can imagine, Slim has some incredible stories to tell – both about his favourite song pick, his relationship with Elliott and their work together. He also reveals a new album Elliott album re-issue he’s currently working on.    It was a pleasure talking to Slim, and we hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as we did speaking to him.    Following our chat with Slim, we have a listener favourite song pick from Kellan Stover from Austin, Texas, USA.    Extra things to look at / listen to:    Last Call by Elliott Smith on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4NZTQN3IYbb44aYw0XwOa6?si=42krm4j3TgCVw4DtD4NGVA Roman Candle by Elliott Smith on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0vgbFgcYqm2B0csVXvo8d5?si=IVCTD8HpT4-K1a8ehvo7cg Slim shares some interesting insight on Elliott’s career in this Pitchfork article: https://pitchfork.com/features/article/9246-keep-the-things-you-forgot-an-elliott-smith-oral-history/ Slim’s profile on Kill Rock Stars: https://www.killrockstars.com/artists/slim-moon My Favourite Elliott Smith Song is produced by Rob Comba and Elizabeth Withstandley.  Find us on social media @myfavesmithsong.

This episode features musician, artist, and illustrator Tae Won Yu, of the band Kicking Giant. Tae was deeply involved in and influenced by the early Riot Grrrl and do-it-yourself scene in New York, Washington DC, and Olympia, Washington, where he lived for about a decade throughout the 1990s. Tae, and his music, art, and commitment to creating community and connection have long been an inspiration to me.In this conversation Tae thoughtfully shares his unique experience with and understanding of Riot Grrrl, including how he first met Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe from the band Bratmobile after reading about their zine Girl Germs in Sassy Magazine. We talk about the power of community, self-expression, and the empowering feeling of creating your own scene, identity, and movement. He describes participating in a moment that has been cited as one of Riot Grrrl’s inspirational turning points: Girl Night, featuring all women-front bands, at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia in 1991.He also discusses how the generation of artists who lived in Olympia before him helped inspire Riot Grrrl and feminist art in the Pacific Northwest and showed him how to build a life as an artist. Those artists include Calvin Johnson and Candice Peterson of K Records, Nikki McClure, Stella Marrs, Slim Moon of Kill Rock Stars, Jean Smith of Mecca Normal, and Lois Maffeo.Tae’s reflections are a beautiful tribute to the compassionate encouragement that existed in the early 1990s scene in Olympia and an example of creating a life for yourself as an artist and outsider.You can find the re-issued Kicking Giant record, This Being the Ballad of Kicking Giant, Halo: NYC/Olympia 1989-1993, at Drawing Room Records. If you want to hear more about the early Riot Grrrl scene, Tae is also featured on the podcast Girl Germs, which focuses on Bratmobile’s first album of the same name.Follow Tae on Instagram on his personal account @Taewonyu and his incredible archive of photos from the Olympia scene at @summer_guitars.

Twenty years ago, Elliott Smith opened a door into a hypnotic new world. The album, “Either/Or” marks a turning point in Smith’s transition from Portland rock journeyman to international star. We sat down with Smith’s friends, peers, and a live studio audience in 2017 to talk about “Either/Or” and Smith’s legacy.

This episode contains discussions of addiction and suicide. Episode #115: The stereotype of “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n' roll” is pervasive in music. The music business often fosters an environment where addiction is the norm, but many artists and industry professionals who are in recovery have successfully stayed in the industry. Today, we talk to a few of those people about their experiences, advice for those who are struggling, and resources like MusiCares. We hear from Gene Bowen, founder of Road Recovery, Slim Moon, founder of Kill Rock Stars, and Rob Crow of Pinback.

How is that an artist whose inner life was so tumultuous put together some of the most meticulously-crafted music to come out of Portland? And what memories does “Either/Or” preserve of a time before Portland’s turn in the national spotlight, when creative people came to follow their inner voices?Our guests: • Larry Crane of Jackpot Recording Studio was a longtime friend and collaborator, and has assumed the role of archivist of Smith’s catalogue.

How universal is a Shakespeare tragedy? When the story of Hamlet is told to the TIV people of West Africa, Slim Moon recounts what happens. It’s not easy when we come together from different perspectives and try to understand one another but it is diversity that is the strength of this religious community and when we are open to each other we find our commonality.
