Lots of good barrage, radio call-in, Amino Acids music. Links to come hopefully soon.

The Saddest Music In The World...

is the music played by your friend and cohost during his last regular show with you. Everything is fraught with emotion and memories in the lab tonight, as we allow Father Angus to run amok. Discs and beakers are everywhere!! Our lab coats are stained, and I can't find the latex gloves.

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.]

Music - Faves and raves

HONKY [Austin cowpunk w/Jeff from Butthole Surfers on bass]

UGLY BEATS [Austin garage rock]

THE GEEKS [Korean punk]

EASY STAR ALL STARS [Psychedelic rock reggae]

LOS FANCY FREE [Latin rock]

KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES [??? Indescribable]

BEAUMONTS [Texas rockabilly]

Eats

BOILING POT [Crawfish and shrimp boil]

SUSHI GEISHA [yummy fresh scallop roll]

MAGNOLIA CAFÉ [“Love” Migas with garlic butter, fish tacos]

CASINO EL CAMINO [Blackjack eggplant sammie, great burgers, hipster hangout, groovy music mix]

HOEK’S DEATH METAL PIZZA [not the greatest ‘za, but awesome graphics & marketing techniques]


Bars/clubs/venues

DEVO

TRICKY

ERYKAH BADU & THE CANNIBANOIDS

THE SONICS

SUPER SHUTTLE COST [$13] VS. AIRPORT FLYER BUS #100 [$0.75 + 6 block walk]

TRIPWIRE PICKS [disappointing, yupscale and all twentysomething whatevs]

CREEKSIDE LOUNGE [see Tripwire—they recommended this club as an Austin must-see highlight]

FUZE [icky overpriced yuppie dance club, $6 for a can of Dos Equis, but we saw Los Pirata there]

I did two reports from the scene live on the radio - Weds. March 18th on In Our Backyard news, and Friday March 20 on music program Who Cooks For You?

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.

And we've survived pledge drive, Lux Interior died a few weeks ago so logic dictates that tonight's show will be honoring Black History Month!! Granted, we try to honor black musicians every show, but tonight it's all that and a bag of chips.

Pledge Drive Boogaloo Numbah Twooo

Once again we ask, beg, IMPLORE you to pledge your promise of financial support to WORT-FM because we need to feel loved all the time. Not that we're insecure. Why would you even ask that? Do I seem insecure? Really, just kidding. But do I?

you are CRAZY

You are CRAZY if you listen to Psychoacoustics. You'd have to be CRAZY to pledge to WORT-FM now because the economy is sucking like a black hole trying to earn this month's rent on its knees behind a dumpster. Therefore, you WILL pledge. Because even if you were SANE, you'd have to be CRAZY not to support this show and this station. Right? So. Go CRAZY with the pledgings!!

Lux Interior, How We Miss Thee

This evening's experiment was suddenly, and sadly, turned into an impromptu memorial show dedicated the memory of Lux Interior, late lead singer for The Cramps. Bad Sister Heidi will be more or less in control, but we'll both be spinning tunes by and reminiscent of the departed master. Of course, this being Psychoacoustics, anything else could happen, up to and including a guest appearance by Brad Van of Droids Attack. In fact, that will happen. But now, let us light a human-tallow candle and lift a glass of oblivion to our fallen comrade.

Hey, George Bush still is not our President

And that's still nice. Maybe it's the short term memory loss, maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome, whatever it is, I still feel the need to remind myself of that every day. Phew!

Tonight, Father Angus is at the helm of this sonic space ship. At least, tonight I am pretending that the station is a space ship and not a communist/backwoods bunker. It must be my Star Trek-esque shirt. It's red, so I know I'm expendable.

Last Show in Which We Can Play Anti-Bush Music and Still Have It Be Relevant or Trenchant Show!

Next week at this time, dear friends and valued listeners, we will have a new president. For this we rejoice! But one thing about bad times, political, economic, or what have you, is that they engender artistic creativity. There was SO MUCH great music about the soon-to-be-out-the-door George W. Bush that will cease to be topical as of next Tuesday, and if you listen to this show with any frequency, you know that we've played a bit of it over the last eight years...thus, we present tonight's experiment, presided over by all three of us.
