Difficult Listening Hour 2020.04.04

Week eight of my unplanned, unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants goofing around. As a way of getting back into practice and doing something regularly, I’ve started doing regular Twitch broadcasts, now on Saturday mid-mornings. These are the results. Anything goes.

Sounds From the Lost Abbey 01

Back in February, I took up a challenge from one of my friends (prompted by the Gigs mix I posted) to create a mix based around songs that I’d have played at the Lost Abbey, during the mid- to late-1990s. To get a little help putting together the playlist, I put out a call for requests on Facebook, and ended up with something around 14 hours of possible songs, almost entirely pulled from requests by people who used to see me spin at the Lost Abbey.

Okay…I bit. So, what’s the deal? Doing an alternative/industrial all-ages club up here in Anchorage, but it can be hard to get new stuff…. Thing is, some of the stuff you had mentioned in an earlier post wasn’t all that new, wasn’t sure if I should reply or not.

  • all good girls – die warzau – have this on the WaxTrax “Afterburn” sampler
  • hit n run holiday – thrill kill kult – Flintstones soundtrack…
  • language of reality – die krupps (clouser rmx) – this caught my eye…would this be the Charlie Clouser working with nine inch nails now? He does do good work…
  • out comes the evil – lords of acid – good track, but “Voodoo-U”‘s been out for a while…

Anyway, am interested in more info, at least…
