time change

as UMD goes on break between semesters, let's go swimming has changed times, and will be on from 10 PM to midnight on monday nights. sadly, i now only have 2 hours with you folks. plus i don't anticipate there'll be too many shows at the new timeslot for the forseeable future due to the combination of snow, christmas, ski vacations, and any other issues that may arise. i'm hoping to make it in tonight, but i doubt i'll be able to drive there.

SO! perhaps we'll just call it a holiday semi-hiatus for LGS and i'll do my best to be back in action later in January, which will hopefully include the obligatory BEST OF 2009 show. hope to be back on the air soon.

Maryland's own Future Times Records has spent 2009 dropping two excellent slabs of wax and getting bodies on the dancefloor both here and abroad. Andrew (AKA Maxmillion Dunbar and 1/2 of Beautiful Swimmers) and Mike (1/2 of Protect-U) will be by mixing and selecting tracks and discussing the soon-to-be-released debut Protect-U 12" and their upcoming holiday party that will be covering both floors of Velvet Lounge in DC on December 29.

Check them out at http://www.futuretimes.org/ and be sure to listen in live this Sunday from noon to 3 PM, or grab the podcast and listen on repeat to your heart's content.

nacho patrol - mind world

new york

i'm finally getting around to reading thurston moore and byron coley's "no wave" book, and it's an epic trip through the short life of no wave. the photos capture all that grime and filth that makes late 70's/early 80's manhattan so appealing. pick it up here.

starting where the book leaves off, in 1980, comes jill kroesen's single on lust/unlust.

jill kroesen - i really want to bomb you
jill kroesen - jesus song

a video by jill for a track from her full length:


and finally, the pulse of new york compilation.

i was lucky enough to pick up the original for a modest price this weekend. it's also been (perhaps unofficially) reissued. full of minimal wave/no wave/skronky funk goodness. as far as i can tell, xex is the only band on here to put out any records other than appearing on this comp. get it here or here.
