POPULARITY
This week on Transmissions, we're sitting down with a genuine legend: Joe Boyd, author of And The Roots of Rhythm Remain: A Journey Through Global Music, out September 24 from ZE Books. On the front cover of the book Brian Eno—a venerated saint in the Aquarium Drunkard canon—declares: “I doubt I'll ever read a better account of the history and sociology of popular music than this one.” Joe Boyd's career is the stuff of myth. As a producer, he's worked with a murder's row of collaborators, including Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, R.E.M., Richard and Linda Thompson, Incredible String Band, Vashti Bunyan, 10,00 Maniacs, and many more. In 2006, Boyd released a memoir, White Bicycles – Making Music in the 1960s, which documented his time in the studio during that decade, but And the Roots of Rhythm Remain casts an even wider net, exploring the overlap of musical cultures and the complicated, human negotiations that undergird creative synthesis. As you'll hear in the early part of our talk, Joe played a pivotal role Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury's music writing journey. In 2008, Woodbury reviewed a Nick Drake box set for the sorely missed Tiny Mix Tapes. The piece also included an email interview with Boyd, whose responses were insightful and in-depth—an experience that inspired Woodbury to chase after interviews. So this conversation picks up the thread some decade and a half later, detailing not only Boyd's new book, but also his experiences with Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny, Vashti Bunyan, and many more adventures.

Teasing their forthcoming music writing website (TBA), Alec and Nick delve the epistemic guts of music and the written word. The episode traces broad historical discussions of music criticism in relation to current trends in publication and music production.

Co nas dziś krindżuje w amerykańskim indie, jakie jest znaczenie tekstów w piosenkach i co ma wspólnego Bruce Springsteen z Donaldem Trumpem. Gościem szóstego odcinka jest Patryk Mrozek, recenzent muzyczny znany z Porcys i Tiny Mix Tapes.
For "Hot Takes" episode 18, Skelly and Shiro bring on another member of Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv to the vaporwave talk show experience! Illustrious freelance graphic designer, label head of experimental and vaporwave label Orange Milk Records, experimental electronic artist Giant Claw, and finally 1/3 of acclaimed vaporwave trio Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv, Keith Rankin is a serious heavyweight in the independent art and music scene. He's had a hand in the album artwork for countless acts in and outside of the vaporwave scene, had his artwork featured in countless high profile publications, was instrumental in the creation of some of DDS' most critically acclaimed albums, and he just got shouted out as one of the best electronic music artists of 2021 in Pitchfork. Don't miss out on Keith's stories about playing Giant Claw in Midwest bro bars and the conversations the three had about the DIY tape explosion and the importance of seeking out new music as a thirty-something. Getting into the nitty gritty on topics like religious iconography and the amorphous sound of some modern pop music made the two hours we spent with Keith just fly right by! Who's better live? Animal Collective or Phish? Will we ever be able to unearth Keith's Tiny Mix Tapes articles that he wrote? Why does Skeleton Lipstick hate Daedelus so much? The answers can only be found by tuning in to the latest episode of vaporwave talk show "Hot Takes"! "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions!

First off, yes lieve Dipsausers!!! We did it!!!We hebben de 100% gehaald en zijn iedereen meer dan dankbaar! Maarrrrrrr we hebben nog ruim een week en ook alle extra’s gaan alleen naar de schrijvers!Heard but not seen. The gentrification of Black music and the whitewashing of dance music history have created spaces which are codified as white, that is, spaces in which Blackness is heard, but not seen. The Black roots of dance music genres such as House and Techno have been progressively phased out. Capitalist enterprises have promoted a form of white hedonism which favours instant gratification over community building, preying on partygoers’ inherent desire to experience a sense of belonging. Recent efforts have been made not only to understand neocolonialism within the dance music industry, but also reclaim spaces from institutions which have been othering and commodifying Black bodies for far too long. This special Dipsaus episode will focus on the decolonisation of dance music, and within this context, we will discuss the possibilities for global solidarity and Black togetherness within the context of dance music and its ecosystem.This will be a collaboration between Dipsaus Podcast and Dance With Pride and continuation of Diasporic Self: Black Togetherness as Lingua Franca.SPEAKERS:DeForrest Brown, Jr. is a New York-based writer, media theorist and curator. He has previously worked with publications such as Triple Canopy, NPR, Tiny Mix Tapes, Mixmag, FACT, Zweikommasieben, and Avant.org.

March 17 would have been Sean Price's 47th birthday had the MC aka Ruck lived past age 43. On February 8, 2019, P's longtime label Duck Down Music Inc. teamed with Coalmine Records and producer Small Professor for the rapper's second posthumous album, 86 Witness. Produced mostly before Price's untimely demise, the album got its title when Small Pro and executive producer Matt Diamond (no relation) realized that references to the year 1986 kept popping up in P's rhymes for the project. Sean Price was 14 in 1986. Hip-hop was about as young. Sean Price's lyrics have always had something of a cafeteria cipher feeling about them. Sometimes his words make little sense together at first ("Dikembe Mutumbo, Feliz Navidad"), perhaps a testament to their being pulled out of thin air, but the rhymes are rarely ever left unresolved, and a perfectly timed punchline can set any verse on fire ("You buy Echo to get us free like Amistad"). Those types of lines also abound 86 Witness, as do features, so the cipher vibes are even more present than usual. In celebration of the album's release, to which Sean's widow Bernadette Price gave her blessing, Tiny Mix Tapes reached out to Small Professor to compile a guest mix featuring only instrumentals from 1986. Included are a number of classic cuts such as "Peter Piper" and "Push It," as well as some more obscure selections like Anquette's "Throw the P" and Faze One's "Layin' Down a Beat." Stream Small Professor's 1986 Instro Flow below and cop 86 Witness on Bandcamp or direct from Duck Down. [00:00] Doug E.

You don’t get to choose your audience. Especially when you’re playing a free to the public show at South by Southwest to promote your first record. It was, quite possibly, the worst showcase for a quiet voiced singer-songwriter.But the bad show gave birth to NPR’s Tiny Mix Tapes. The show’s producers quite rightly believed that Laura Gibson deserved a better showcase for here soft-spoken gifts.This year, Gibson released the haunting Goners, a beautiful and more sonically complex record that meditates on the connection between love and loss. It’s a theme that permeates her best work.
Clifford Allen is a lifelong listener and collector of all musics extreme. With a deep knowledge of jazz, particularly from Ayler on, he has written for publications such as Signal To Noise, Paris Transatlantic, Bagatellen, the New York City Jazz Record, Point of Departure, Burning Ambulance and Tiny Mix Tapes among many others. An enthusiastic historian, he has also written liner notes for several records by artists such as Burton Greene, Ingrid Laubrock and Charles Tyler. Recently he co-produced and assembled liner notes for Michael Cosmic "Peace In The World"/Phill Musra "The Creator Spaces" 2LP/2CD reissue (NowAgain).
In 1959, Max Roach went to the Five Spot jazz club to take in a performance by the Ornette Coleman Quartet and became so incensed by what he heard that he followed Coleman backstage and punched him in the mouth. As if the physical assault weren't a strong enough display of disapproval, Roach later stood outside Coleman's apartment building at 4:00 AM, yelling, "I know you're up there, motherfucker! Come down here and I'll kick your ass!" This is one of my favorite jazz legends, because it demonstrates that even the most innovative players, like Roach or Dizzy Gillespie — who said of Coleman, "I don't know what he's playing, but it's not jazz" — can be caught off guard by the avant-garde. It also speaks to the passion with which great artists are willing to stand up for their traditions and to the idea that these same traditions can be and often are best carried on by those most willing to break from them. Take Slauson Malone for example. It's not hard to imagine one of rap's elder statesmen hearing his 1 tape and remarking, "I don't know what he's making, but it's not hip-hop," which is of course exactly what makes it feel so alive with hip-hop, house, funk, rock, jazz, and all the shattered conventions vital to their existence. It's almost an afterthought, but one worth mentioning, that Malone's real name is Jasper Marsalis, because his music thrives on its own terms, both apart from and as a part of his family's musical tradition. Here then, as perhaps the perfect counterpoint to Tiny Mix Tapes' Favorite 50 Songs of 2016 (and really to all year-end lists in general), is Slauson Malone's casually ambitious Guest Mix titled peace, drugs, jesus, love, hate, and solitude, including blended bits of a whopping 38 tracks, all of which Slauson readily admits "do something that I wish I could."

Another classic director that we've been meaning to feature on the show for quite some time is finally covered. I also decided it's been way too long since we got a different perspective, other than one of the male variety. Kate Blair, holds a Master's in Cinema, writes reviews for Tiny Mix Tapes, has a blog titled Selective Viewing and turns out to be one of the more insightful guests I've had on the show. We cover a whole lotta Hitchcock in just under three hours, and yet, there is still so much more to see for round two in the not-so-distant future. Which titles would you like us to review for Part 2? Send an email and let us know! For this first outing, we talk about THE 39 STEPS, THE LADY VANISHES, SHADOW OF A DOUBT, NOTORIOUS, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, REAR WINDOW, THE WRONG MAN, VERTIGO, PSYCHO and THE BIRDS. But that's the tip of the iceberg. We briefly mention a couple more we've seen and enjoyed as well as touch upon how Kate fell in love with movies. Expect return visits from this guest in the future, and hope you enjoy our discussion on the master of suspense! 00:00 - 06:18 - Introduction**06:19 - 17:11 - Introduction With Kate17:12 - 18:32 - Hitchcock Song*18:33 - 1:03:28 - Experiences, 39 STEPS, LADY VANISHES, SHADOW OF A DOUBT01:03:29 - 01:03:59 - Intermission / Spellbound Score Excerpt01:04:00 - 01:35:42 - NOTORIOUS, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, REAR WINDOW01:35:43 - 02:44:26 - THE WRONG MAN, VERTIGO, PSYCHO, THE BIRDS02:44:27 - 02:55:12 - Top 5 Hitchcock Films / Outro I'm taking a short spring break and have asked two of my favorite cinephiles to talk about a director without my presence! The next episode will be on Atom Egoyan and will feature the return of Bill Ackerman and Al Kwiatkowski as they deconstruct EXOTICA, THE SWEET HEREAFTER and a whole lot more. I will return in mid-April for another episode TBD, and eventually in early May, an episode featuring WGN's Nick Digilio and myself talking about Martin Scorsese will finally happen! Until then, I encourage all of you to leave a review on ITUNES, send me an email at: directorsclubpodcast@gmail.com, and of course, subscribe to all the great shows over at NowPlayingNetwork.net!

In this episode of the podcast, I'm talking with Tiny Mix Tapes writers Pat Beane and SCVSCV about their collaborative piece, "2015: Identity Crisis." We'll be discussing the politics and quality of modern music reviews and thinkpieces. A few albums will be coming up in the discussion as well.
