I think the Ruin Porn was well done and it was nostalgic to remember PBS (Packard BlackSnot). I left this vid having even more respect for huckabee than I did before thanks, Jeffrey J Davis www.jeffreyjdavis.com 218.83DAVIS j...@jeffreyjdavis.com jeffreyjamesdavis On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 8:44 PM, kent williams chaircrus...@gmail.com wrote: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1382 Pretty OK, except for the cliche of ruin porn. But check out Derek Plaslaiko dancing like a madman about 11:32

Mike Huckabee's educational work is amazing. He's a guy that, unlike many of his peers in Detroit, stayed in Detroit and dedicated himself to keeping it a vital center for musical innovation. He did it, I believe, at a personal cost. If all he cared about was making money and becoming famous, he could easily have moved to Berlin, gotten a good booking agent, and hooked up with European labels. I don't mean to criticize the people who have taken that path -- if it works for them it's fine -- but there's no denying that moving away changes their music. Instead he's stayed true to the city, true to his own music, and perfected the art of DJing. And he's taken direct action to help the young people of Detroit, who face serious obstacles to finding a place in the world. I admire a lot of Detroit musicians, and certainly isn't alone in his commitment to Detroit. In particular Underground Resistance and Submerge have demonstrated a deep and sustained commitment to the people of Detroit. There are others but to list them is to risk leaving someone out. What really makes me return again and again to the music that comes out of Detroit isn't a particular style, it's the deep, clear-eyed emotion and soul that infuses the best Detroit music. Music can point to itself, it can reflect listeners' aspirations back on them, it can start a party. Or music can do all that, and point up and out of itself. It can make you think about the world in a different way.

What a wicked, wicked post. I totally agree. I've sensed the same thing about Mr. Huckaby for a few years. But of course, I've not articulated it as well, even to myself.

Mike came to Portland back in June did something quite extraordinary -- a set of Sun Ra classics and his edits (which are being released on Kindred Spirits, a label associated with Rush Hour in Amsterdam). He's been doing these sets on occasion over the last year or so. http://www.kindred-spirits.nl/release_detail.php?idxItem=58807 fh - What a wicked, wicked post. I totally agree.

(313) Goodwrench Gets Just One Oar in the Water (Wild Kingdom)
Last week's mess of Scrapple is documented at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=38672 . Contrary to the usual practice, I'm naming only the first track I'll play tomorrow night. After all the blather I made on the air a couple of weeks ago about the slow Global Communication version of Warp 69's Natural High, I'm starting tomorrow night's set with the Chaos and Julia Set mix, which is a whole 'nother thing. After that, anything goes. I have a set of records pulled, but what follows what will depend on spur-of-the-moment inspiration,. That's all I'm saying at this point, as I need to hit the turntables and see what happens. Limited time archives for all shows on KFJC are available at http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/ . These are rolling archives, available for two weeks after any given show. My shows are listed under Goodwrench. Send comments and suggestions to i...@kfjc.org . The Wild Kingdom airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Friday Night/Saturday Morning, 10P-2A (6A-10A GMT). Potential listeners outside the San Francisco Bay area can find a webcast at http://www.kfjc.org/netcast/index.php . Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived at kfjc.org. You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show Just Desserts that was on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999 (Deja Vu, huh?). Archived playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve 1999/2000, so you can see what what I'm up to these days is pretty much consistent with what I was up to all along. If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events. If you want to do some promotion for an event, contact the KFJC promotions department at pr...@kfjc.org to arrange ticket giveaways and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks to those who have sent promo music so far. Regards, Richard Hester Mr. Goodwrench The Wild Kingdom FR 10P-2A KFJC-FM 89.7 Los Altos Hills, California, USA
