Robert Calvert and Dave Brock’s Revolutionary Chit-Chat (1977)

Very kindly recorded by Mark Patterson. This is the recording of Robert Calvert and Dave Brock’s “revolutionary chit-chat” on Tommy Vance’s Friday Rock Show, June 18, 1977. In Mark's words "I recorded most of it, only missing Tommy’s endorsement of ‘Quark..’, and reading from the LP liner notes, right at the start. It’s strange hearing it again after all this time. As usual Robert is very perceptive and prescient; recognizing HW as a proto-punk band in the middle of the ‘77 ‘New Wave’ music explosion, and wary of uk talents being diluted in the “backwash of American culture.” Interesting stuff." Many, many thanks to Mark for this.

♪♫ Women-Made Electronica Playlist


The history of electronic music arguably starts with the patenting of the theremin in 1928, and Clara Rockmore was there from its inception to champion the instrument as both an important technological and artistic advancement. This mix highlights the brilliant, creative women who make (and made) electronic music and their innovations in techniques, programs, and tools to make new sounds possible. Best with headphones.

♪♫ The Gold and the Silver Dream (1971-1982) - A Tribute to Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories'

A tribute to Daft Punk's wonderful 'Random Access Memories,' tracks inhabiting the same warm, wonderful universe of funky, melancholic robots skirting around the edges of the discotheque, alternately wondering what life's about and deciding it's all about forgetting to worry what it's all about. Space disco, library funk, sophisticated rhythmic orchestrations, savvy art-rock, psych-poppers and proggers gone dancefloor, and a singer-songwriter or two--all meeting in those blissful sonic years 1971-1982 from which Daft Punk brewed their latest potions.
