ECSTATIC VINYL BLOWOUT!

O all alone on my lonesome, with only my records to comfort me....ALL vinyl tonight kids, with memories and reminiscence of days of yore. Crackles and pops but nary a skip in sight. Gems from my collection and new items from incoming 12" vinyl releases to the WORT library.
The vinyl saga will continue on upcoming shows. Headphones recommended, requests accepted. Wishing Sr. Heidi and kin much slack, and Fr. Angus safe travels. You, just sit back and enjoy...

The Saddest Music In The World...

We hope you have enjoyed his glorious and mystic tenure as much as we have.

The Penultimate Show

From recent context, penultimate must mean "second to last" as opposed to "best", which is what Bad Sister thought it was. Sigh, what it REALLY means is this is Father Angus' next to last show, then you spoiled bastards in San Fransisco get him. Yeah, I said spoiled...you already have some of the most beautiful landscape in the world, some of the greatest neighborhoods, those awesome trolleys, SOURDOUGH BREAD, access to ocean fish, green leafy herbs, wine and some really excellent weather and now...AND NOW you get Father Angus. Damn, does your good fortune never end? You'd better appreciate it, and you'd better treat him right, or we'll be out there in a New York minute and either take him back AND kick your ass.

The countdown begins...

Valued listeners, it is my sad yet necessary duty to inform you that I, Father Angus, will be departing Madison for San Francisco at the end of the month, thus drawing to a close my tenure here on Psychoacoustics. I'm not gone yet, though, and you'll be hearing my favorites from over the, er, decades in the weeks to come.

Tonight's show is being conducted by all three of us, but I do not know where Rev. Velveteen and Bad Sister Heidi are...oh, wait! I spoke too soon. The Reverend is here and the Bad Sister is sure to follow.

South By Southwest {SXSW} addendum

SXSW 2009 Recap!

“Welcome to the festival of broken dreams….”

(Jeff Honky, aka J.D. Pinkus of Butthole Surfers.)

As always, SXSW is a huge party and getting bigger every year. I always
think maybe the crowds and logos will be too much, but then again I
have too much fun and am glad that I came down to Austin. Here are
some lists of my picks & pans for music, venues, food and Austin in general,
compiled with the help of Jim "Jagcurity" Goronson. Much of this music was featured on Psychoacoustics -- listen to the archives at www.wort-fm.org [posted until April 9th.]

This is me interviewing Exene Cervenka [X, Original Sinners, Auntie Christ] in the alley behind the Yard Dog Gallery in south Austin. Many people say we look very much alike, you know.
