Bjork
The first radio broadcast of the little Icelandic curiosity. Some people are just born to things. In fact everyone is born to something, few lucky enough to find out what it is. Little girl loves to love. She will be screaming and whispering about it for years to come.
Singing by numbers
Another radio session from KEXP, this brings back the early eighties and I mean that in a good way. The phenomenal Handclap band indulge in some arbitrary tonal counting followed by early Debby Harry style rap. What’s not to love. The Handclap band Phenominaly took us from 5 to 50. […]

London as Paris
One of the most touching works of the great Vincent Moon of La Blogotheque. In fact one of the early motivations of the Anormal Sessions. Paris is burning says St Vincent…. Meanwhile this moment out there in the night, there are indeed flames on the streets of London.
Noise mechanics
Gakken, is Tokyo based company that makes a nifty little analogue synth kit, a Theramin kit, and this little beauty. It is a hand cranked record cutter (just speak into the cone and crank, it will cut some vinyl for you). They also make a bird song organ, more […]
Memories of the garden
Check out this unembeddable link of 16 15 14, as performed in KCRW radio station. Polly Jean Harvey and John Parish evoke memories of colonial childhood. Like Alice lost within the walls of a great estate. barefoot estimations of sanity are measured by the tablet. Fractures of a cool and […]
