Deleted Scenes on DISSONANCE

2011-04-07T09:10:00.001-07:00

If you missed us on DISSONANCE Radio, here's a link to the podcast. DJ Danger Mike hosts, Deleted Scenes guest-DJs.

Here's the link: http://dissonance.libsyn.com/4-5-11-deleted-scenes

And here's some fact-checking:
--- Ahmad Zahir--the Afghani Elvis--was not exploded; his tomb was exploded. He was killed in an alleged auto accident, which is widely considered to have been an assassination. Here is a short biography that details the political circumstances more clearly than I could: http://www.afghanmusik.com/singers/ahmadzahir.php.
--- The Lifetones discussion assumed that Charles Bullen wrote lyrics for This Heat, which is probably wrong. It was probably Charles Hayward.

Geologist interview of Tanya Tagaq, throat singer

2010-03-12T11:12:00.000-08:00

Geologist recently interviewed Tanya Tagaq, a solo throat singer from Nunavut autonomous region in northern Canada. My favorite part was this clip of duets. Sounds a lot like Panda Bear at times, other times like Battles:

Go to BYT for the whole thing: http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/music/geologist-interviews-tanya-tagaq/

Incidentally, we're playing BYT's SXSW party on March 20 @ Red Fez in Austin: http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/events/byt-flying-dog-present-dcxsxsw-party-feat-bluebrain-us-royalty-mynabirds-pree-love-language-exactly-tennis-system-stricken-city-the-dance-party-meredith-bragg-matthew-hemerlein-laughing/
