broadcast live on Resonance 104.4 fm - 5 til 6.30pm (UK time) - Wednesday 24th January 2007 - fm in London, streaming from www.resonancefm.com

a whole gang of guests today...

we have our old friend Thomas Truax live in session - a 'sHRiMP regular & indeed favourite over the years - those familiar will know the phrase singer-songwriter doesn't even come close - "...It's a bewildering melange of garage rock songs, avant garde sounds and cabaret showtunes, full of whistles, toy piano, ice cream chimes and invented instruments... with shades of Tom Waits' storytelling, Nick Cave's theatricality and Lux Interior's howling-at-the-moon madness." [Ged M, SoundsXP] - Thomas is playing at the Buffalo Bar tomorrow evening (25/1) - hopefully for the session he will be joined by the ever beautiful Sister Spinster.
www.thomastruax.com
www.myspace.com/thomastruax

we also have a specially recorded live session from Mira Calix. Warp Records artist Mira Calix is the work of South African-born Chantal Passamonte. now on album number three ('Eyes Set Against the Sun’, Warp, 2007), Chantal records her work (& indeed this session) near & in fact in the woods at her home in Suffolk. organic and freeform experimental electronic textures, drifting orchestral noise-folk - yes, all of that & more. utterly unique.
www.miracalix.com
www.warprecords.com

we will also have a flying visit from Thrill Jockey Records legend Bobby Conn - what's he like? 110% pure entertainer - 'sonically, it’s an attempt to distill a lifetime of Midwestern top forty into 40 minutes. I suppose this makes it "post-modern," but consider this, if you hired two plumbers to make a replica of the Taj Mahal out of tapioca pudding, would the result be great architecture? not likely, but it would still be delicious.' Bobby is in town for gigs tonight - listen in for more info. in a related Thrill Jockey way we also have 2 tickets to give away for the Califone gig at Dingwalls this very night - listen out for a question.
"Switching genres and stories about his life with gleeful abandon, Bobby Conn has blurred the lines between musician and myth" -- Chicago Tribune
www.bobbyconn.com
www.thrilljockey.com

also popping in is Rupert Orton from Not The Same Old Blues Crap / the Spitz - to talk about the upcoming (April) Spitz Festival of the Blues; if it's as good as last years then he'll have much to proudly announce! Spitz news also.
www.spitz.co.uk

(still) in the bag today - Manicured Noise, Boris, Animal Collective, Marissa Nadler, Reigns, Inch Time, The Playing Fields, David Karsten Daniels - so that or more of that. also sounds from Mr Truax, Califone & Bobby Conn no doubt.

presented today by Chin Keeler, Shona Davidson, Kev Head & the return of Tony Fisher.

coming soon on the 'sHRiMP...
Jan 31st - William D Drake dbl live session

live in session on this weeks show... we welcome the fantastic Alexander Tucker - back for his 2nd 'sHRiMP session (or is it his 3rd?) - Tucker releases a new studio album "Furrowed Brow" (ATP/R) next week - this time he has combined harmonised vocal patterns, layered instrumentation and heavy sonic bliss riffs to create a cross-between David Crosby, doom metal and Terry Riley - nice! Alex is also a visual artist & keen BlackFriday listeners should note that he has just done the sleeve for Nordic doom-master Wolfmangler's new album (on Aurora Borealis).
www.atpfestival.com/atp-recordings/alexander-tucker

we also welcome back new luddite & artist Denys Avis aka DJ Wheelie-Bag - he will be previewing the upcoming annual Wheelie Bag Soundclash which should be an essential date in everyones diary - we'll also be talking to Denys about a new film about him and his Wheelie Bag sound systems.

double helping of live music from across the pond on this weeks show...

well pleased to have David Lowery & Johnny Hickman from Cracker in for a live session - in town for a couple of sold-out shows at the Borderline to promote their current album 'Greenland' (amazingly their 7th). for those too young or with short memories David Lowery fronted (and indeed fronts) Santa Cruz's finest sons Camper Van Beethoven. www.crackersoul.com

our exciting 2nd live act are the C.R.Avery Band..... C R is a beatboxer, singer-songwriter, poet and musician from Ontario, Canada; author of hip-hop operas & regular performer at poetry slams. appearing this week at the Borderline (9/11) with his band - music has been compared both Bruce Springsteen & Tom Waits which both make sense to me (the early Bruce angle hits home to me most, the material is very original mind) - sometimes semi-spoken gritty tales from the street (so yeah maybe a bit of Lou Reed in there as well); Avery has a reputation as an exhilarating performer so this should be a real treat.
www.cravery.com

also a tribute sequence to Jason DiEmilio who sadly took his own life last week. From Philadelphia Jason made a succession of 7"s and a few albums under the name Azusa Plane & one full-length as Spires of Oxford back in 1995-2001 whilst also running a couple of record labels. A truly inspirational drone artist who certainly helped change my own listening habits, challenged my thoughts on how one could make music & even my opinion on what music is and what it is for. www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/category/obituary

also in the bag: Sh*t & Shine, Swagger Jack, Meg Baird/Helena Espvall/Sharron Kraus, Joe Lally & the Rank Deluxe.

your guides: Kev Head, Roxanne Stephen, Charlene Katuwawala, Shona Davidson & Neil Kleiner

if you can please get along to the Resonance website and take part in the Listener Survey - link is right there on the front page www.resonancefm.com - it's very important that as many listeners as possible take part; it is linked to our Arts Council funding and key to securing future funding for ResonanceFM which i hope you think's a good thing - so please make the effort, only takes a couple of minutes.

a double session plus feast this week falling on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street..
www.whatnextjournal.co.uk/Pages/History/Cable.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street

live, we are well chuffed to welcome the Nightingales - Midlands based indie legends fronted by Robert Lloyd who was our guest earlier in year when the band had pre-recorded a session for us. as promised Robert has returned with the full band and a treat you are in for. new album 'Out of True' (Iron Man) is a massive and important addition to their vital back catalogue - "right from the sardonic opening battle cry of Born Again in Birmingham ('Cheap wraps of coke were yet to hit Nuneaton'), Out of True finds the Nightingales not merely back to their best, but actually improved." (Ben Thompson, the Telegraph); "new line-up, which includes the teenage wunderkind guitarist Matt Wood, sees their front man, Robert Lloyd, splatter kitchen-sink cut-up lyrics over scratchy, rhythmically challenging riffs, like a Black Country Captain Beefheart. The album’s opener, Born Again in Birmingham, steamrolls over his unwitting inheritors" (Sunday Times)
www.thenightingales.org.uk

live music also from the fantastic Clark - Warp records solo artiste Chris Clark joins us for a live set. he has just released the album 'Body Riddle' (Warp), his 3rd of juddering electronic music - electronic groans and washes mixed with electro-funk. some free mp3 previews at his throttleclark website, maybe even buy his record if you like them!
www.throttleclark.com
www.warprecords.com

we also have a special feature on Frank Tovey/Fad Gadget - recently released "Fad Gadget by Frank Tovey - A Retrospective in Sound & Vision" (Mute) 2cd/2dvd set is a long planned career length collection of work by the late Frank Tovey, from his pioneering electronic music of the early 80s through to his later 'solo' work via classic recordings, unreleased work and demos. 2 DVDs of documentary and live performance complete this great document. we will be playing an interview with Frank's daughter Morgan Tovey Frost and are lucky enough to have 3 sets to give away (courtesy of Mute records).

still in the bag this week are Bardo Pond (recent cdr release), Reigns (forthcoming on Jonson Family), EmbryoNNCK, Yo La Tengo, Part Chimp, Jack Rose, Radio Birdman, the Evens, CSS, Bert Jansch, Pere Ubu - hey, maybe we'll play a few of these this week. a few new bits slipped in from the likes of... the Phil Collins 3 and Califone.

coming real soon...
Oct 11th - live session from south-coast neo-shoegazers (nu-gaze!) Air Formation plus a session from A Hawk And A Hacksaw recorded a few weeks back at 'sHRiMP/oof! hq - it had people dancing in the street then so don't miss it!

Skip McDonald - Skip McDonald IS Little Axe. originally from Dayton, Ohio Skip played the blues from the age of 8 (1957), although by the time he was 12 years old he had opted to perform doo-wop. Along with bassplayer Doug Wimbish and drummer Keith LeBlanc formed the house band for the pioneering rap label Sugar Hill, providing the music for some of the most seminal records of the era by Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata et al. From there he worked closely with Adrian Sherwood on many of projects for the On-U Sound label, as well as spearheading the band Tackhead and working with Living Colour. He has been the prime mover behind Little Axe since around 1992, the debut album "Wolf That House Built" was a personal take on blues and dub, and was released to critical acclaim in 1994. Skip has continued to fuse blues and electronic music into this decade. Along with Skip we welcome back Rupert Orton from Not The Same Old Blues Crap (www.punkrockblues.co.uk) who will talking about the month-long Spitz Festival of Blues which will feature Little Axe among a large and diverse range of shows.

5pm til 6.30pm (London time) - as ever broadcast live on Resonance 104.4FM in central London and streaming from www.resonancefm.com

a live music feast this week with 3/4 live acts in the studio - Castanets / Jana Hunter - Raymond Raposa (guitar, electronics, and vocals) brings his epic and inspiring avant country songs and will be accompanied by Jana Hunter (no beard) on bass and vocals. Jana Hunter's songs, her haunting voice & unique guitar style make her recently released gloriously lo-fi debut 'Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom' a very special record indeed, it's the first record to be released by Gnomonsong, a record label founded and run by Devendra Banhart and Vetiver’s Andy Cabic. www.janahunter.tk www.myspace.com/janahunter www.asthmatickitty.com

also in and kicking off the show are Leeds based trio Quack Quack who make rather beautiful minimal rock music, sometimes droney, often rhythmic - in town for a show at the Brixton Windmill (25/1) supportes by the also splendid Kyote. Quack Quack have a cd-ep out on Run of the Mill records and a 7" coming soon. www.runofthemillrecords.co.uk

we also welcome back Alun Tan Lan, he was in a while back as an accompianist to Euros Childs, he's back with some of his own fine songs (perhaps) from his rather lovely 'Y Distawrwydd' CD - also in London for a show at the Barfly (25/1) with the Poppies. www.aluntanlan.com

bag contents unimportant as we'll play very little with all that live music on - in there is the Warmer Milks, the Poppies, Super700, Majessic Dreams, Ariel Pink - so expect a couple of those.

sorry for lack of announcement of last weeks guests... it all came together at the last minute but thanks to Nikki Sudden and Darrell Bath who came in and did a splendid live session for us - and to Mandy Braden who came in to talk about her dance performance at the Place this week and brought live dance to the 'sHRiMP show for the first time!

this weeks show features 2 sessions and interviews... we welcome Leeds artist Napoleon III - bringing his mad experi-mental 1-man band-ness back to the show - "a mad melting pot of Super Furries fighting with Aphex Twin and The Residents at a musical car boot sale"
www.napoleoniiird.com

also we will be welcoming Prefect/Nightingale and solo artist Robert Lloyd in to the studio for a chat and he will be bringing an exclusive session by the Nightingales with him. The Nightingales reformed in 2004 and produced 4 7"s on their own label Big Print (soon to be compiled on CD); also forthcoming is a new mini album. late 2005 also saw the CD re-issue of their classic 2nd and 3rd albums. the band will be in London for 2 shows this coming weekend; Friday night at the Spitz and on Saturday at a Guided Missile night at the Buffalo Bar.
www.thenightingales.org.uk

too early to consider what's in the bag... but it could include Woe Colossus, Francis Plagne, the Warmer Milks, Sunburned Hand of the Man (cdr releases), Josephine Foster (fab aussie tour 7"), Drekka, the Weird Weeds, Radio Luxembourg, UpCDownC and a whole heap more - be surprised!

Nothing is what it seems at the Enchanted Charity Shop. Are the laughs in this comedy drama written and performed by Howard Aggregate really fair trade - or did he get them second hand? Music by those Oxfam orchestras of choice, led by Mantovani and Geoff Love."
