Electronically Induced Daydreams

NanoRand

OK.  If this show lands on target many of our listeners will be driving in the sun, strolling on a white rocky beach or recovering from last night's paella and that extra shot of herbs…  So with that in mind i'm going to keep this short.  Welcome to the long-mooted and strategically timed Finders Keepers Balearic Especial. A show that does exactly what it says on the tin. Made from strictly indigenous secret ingredients with little need for preservatives or technological enhancements. 

For our fourteenth feature-length attempt at "Making Global Sound Local" regular Finders Keepers office dwellers and co-hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell, Doug Shipton and Lee Janda use their unique brand of wax-anorak-geekery, dubious dad jokes and mountainous mispronunciations to unveil two hours of lesser-spotted Balearic uber-classics. From the islands and islets that link Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera and continue to unite folk, funk, farmers, free-thinkers, fine food and fauna, The Finders Keepers radio hosts unearth a small selection of mid-Med microgroove discs with a trail of crumbs pointing back to the days when the first hippie communes welcomed jazzers, artists, actors and activists to those mythical retreats over 50 years ago. Including our all of our regular rigged competitions (!) and magazine features Finders Keepers also invite special guest and Manc blues prophet Victor bros who regales stories of the early days on Ibiza in the presence of a pre-Velvet Underground Nico while namedropping Don Cherry and the first free music ensembles and DJs to hit those unknown shores in the early 1960s.

Finders Keepers Radio Show - Balearic Special

Ecker & Meulyzer “Carbon” (SUB033)

Digital & CD: https://eckermeulyzer.bandcamp.com/album/carbon

Koenraad Ecker and Frederik Meulyzer make their Subtext debut with Carbon. 

Based on field recordings made at Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a secure seed bank located on the island of Spitsbergen, Carbon grapples with the many contradictions that lie at the heart of our shift into the capitalocene. The project began in 2017, when Ecker and Meulyzer scored the performance “Frozen Songs,” a commission by Zero Visibility Dance Company led by Ina Christel Johannesen.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault was conceived of as an effort to preserve copies of seeds from key crop varieties, ensuring their persistence in the event of large-scale crises. Yet the area is warming faster than anywhere else on earth, causing the permafrost to melt and putting the seed vault at risk. 

Across from the Seed Vault lie the decrepit remnants of Svalbard’s mining activities of the early 20th century; Carbon wrestles with the incongruities nestled in the town’s landscape. Reflecting on dissonances of stasis and change, closeness and distance, enclosure and expanse, as well as cynicism and hope, Ecker and Meulyzer consider the urgency of our situation while trying to sidestep all-too popular depictions of dystopia. In Ecker’s own words, “we don’t have the luxury to afford that kind of pessimism.” 

From close, supple sounds to cold, brutal sonics, Carbon meditates on the many challenging questions and contradictions raised by the Seed Vault and its surroundings—a landscape that embodies and makes visible the many intertwined phenomena that shape our current predicament.

Ecker and Meulyzer, formerly known as Stray Dogs, have released works such as Wasteland, recorded in deconsecrated church in Antwerp, and Kalkar, recorded in the cooling tower of a former power station in Germany. 

Koenraad Ecker works in the fields of electro-acoustic music, field recording, radio plays, stage performance and text. Together with Andrea Taeggi, he is part of the Opal Tapes-affiliated duo Lumisokea. His output encompasses studio albums, audiovisual installations, texts, performances, and sound design for film. 

Frederik Meulyzer is a percussionist active in projects including Belgian jazz band Hamster Axis of the One-Click Panther, contemporary music and theatre company Post uit Hessdalen, and experimental psych-krautrock band Slumberland.

The ecological impact of the production of this record will be compensated through a carbon offsetting program .

The Agnostic

IHVH, The Agnostic... The Night

An autobiographical essay on solitude, walking, the natural world, and emotions by the novelist and nature writer Melissa Harrison.

Melissa reflects on what solitude has meant to her - and to others - from her childhood and early adult years to the recent period of lockdown in the summer of 2020. Recorded outside in the Suffolk countryside, this essay explores Melissa's feelings about living on her own and how she finds her most honest self through solitude in nature. She also reflects on what is has meant for women to be on their own in the past and the present. 

This essay was originally written in connection with the BBC Radio 4 series, 'A Short History of Solitude': https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000m57m

This episode is presented by Thomas Dixon and produced by Natalie Steed, as part of the 'Living With Feeling' project at Queen Mary University of London, supported by the Wellcome Trust: https://projects.history.qmul.ac.uk/livingwithfeeling/

"Umbrella" ... by CHARGRIX?
Beat is your best friend jippy's "Groove Width"

Lyrics:
It’s truly no fair
Goofy song parody artists are so scared
Like Chargrix licked the mic like Gobert
Like oof 
Why’d he have to go there
He’s so impressive, 
Whispers: Where is he?
Probably getting busy with a freaky COVID tester
“Baby I just love it how you tickle my brain cells,
Your face tastes better the coffee that Jimmy sells”
Came in two minutes — didn’t want to stay long (oops)
While she was in the shower, I signed her up for the Patreon 
“You’ll thank me later when you hear Hayes cut”
Then I put my tevas on and got back in my fire truck
Somewhere another podcast is off getting roasted
Flagrant got the sound locked down like it was Ghosted
Episode 4
Repertoire dope
Carl calls his cousin lowkey is the best show
Jasons not better that a mis-Concepción
They walked outta Earwolf carrying the decimal 
All these other pods think they’re puttin up numbers
Flagrant came thru to Scottie Pippin your summers
Sorry Steve and Eastman for the brags when I was rhymin’ (sorry guys)
Sometimes in life you gotta be your own Tommy
Sometimes you just have to flow so wetly
That Andy Kneis gotta call up Fonzworth Bently

Grey Tears

Lyrics:

(Sara)
Our engineer fights back a grey tear
Yeah Andy is sad but our hero
Cuz he's got a tongue like De Niro
Yeah Kneis-a-Kneis-a
Sad Kneis-a-Kneis-a

(Sachs)
Now please don’t make me say it twice
Just because my flow is nice
I will not apologize
For all of my comments on reddit that made andy cry

I told a friend that ya’ll featured my raps
They asked me wow did they pay you for that
I said it’s actually funny you ask
I’m the one that gives them the cash

They looked confused and said where can i hear it?
I said you gotta pay 60 a year it’s
Easy to access, once you that shit
They’re hilarious, you can’t imagine

Really, they said, maybe i’ll check it out
By the way, what’s the show all about?
I told em they mostly just talk really loud
While some other podcast plays in the background

Comprehensively, they cover games
Extensively, they list the players by name
Ostensibly it’s just a basketball pod
That’s hosted by hayes andy carl and sean

(Shaw)
Eastman drop the beat quick, I need it.
Lemon loaf from Starbucks, I eat lil bitch
Try to play me in zone then watch me hit my three quick, lil bitch
Gimme them feet quick, I'll lick
I'm like Hayes, how many cat you have?
Andy gonna slice my ass
Carl got the ball and he’s not gonna pass
Sean broke his ankles and banked off the glass
shoot and I'll send that shit back,
my gun is from china, Kawhis bleeding real bad
looking like a MAGA hat
take a quick loot at the stats,
i'm ballin like Harden in Houston, wait no Brooklyn
got em all shook and shit, Kyrie and Kevin and Harden just took the shit
Lakers ain’t gettin this ring
Andy just sliced up my whole ding-a-ling, all hail the greyest of kings,
I cannot help but stan a mother flagrant one,
Look at god, Look at god
Eastman and Steve hit me up for a verse so I gave em one
Kevin really quit his job
Sean with the hop tea, Hayes drinkin vinegar, not me
Pinchy crab on my hot tee
No one can stop me, plenty of players had blond hair
Militic looked like a nazi, I'm in the box seats
Suckin on teaux with some chop sticks, call that lil bitch Habachi

Chorus

(Chargrix)
Once upon a time, a working man's chef Kevin
Now we supply the jams and he collects the reven-
Knew my shit would slap like Andy when the camera cuts
Sean’s cheeks are swelling 
Andy tells him: “that makes two of us”
Every new bundle booty's bigger by degrees
Still can’t fill the hole from his COVID Halloween, he’s morose
 Plenty women ringing up his phone
At the moment he don’t feel like licking toes, somethings wrong
Why you think they call him mr. knees, little baby
That’s what he’s down on to reach the feet, little baby
Looking at the moon like, “How the fuck I’m sad?..
With all these honey buns I got stuffed in my duffel bag
Sheesh am I crazy?
I’m Disney’s Andy Knies, 
I'm the grey king
fuck the failing grey lady
Now let me dry these tears with the money that they paid me”
Then he did a burnout in a custom grey Mercedes

(Eastman)
I’m at the DMV, no mask
COVID guidelines, I’m tryna slap that ass
Big pants Sean, yeah he double cheeked up
Hayes got the sugar shrub up in his cup
I don’t get paid to make beats like these,
But at least I don’t cry grey tears like Kneis,
Not for money, not for clout, it’s the tears, that’s why
Call me Mr Aberfan, I can make the monarch cry
