Friend of the show Swim Ignorant Fire released this precocious little gem earlier this week with the following narrative:
"I thought I had lost all of the tapes from my first tape recorder when I was in 3rd grade or so (1994?) but this snippet was recently found on an old dying hard drive of mine.
This is probably the earliest recording of myself doing any kind of unintentional tape manipulation as well as my own ADD fueled entertainment for myself. I took this white tape everywhere, and recorded over it dozens of times until what you hear is left. I'm making this available because I think its the most honest dive into my own 3rd grade mind, and is really nostalgic to me and could be easily read as some kind of fucked up tape collage mixtape.
There are no edits within this 7 minute collage just a little bit of EQ & Limiting. All sounds were stolen from the radio or recorded around the year 1993-1994 in Armington, Illinois with sources ranging from my cousin making himself fart, jumping on the trampoline trying to destroy the recorder itself, 101.5 radio dedications to my 4th grade crush, and so much more.

Electric violin virtuoso Dixon (Dixon's Violin) astonished all with his superlative performance at the regional Burning Man event Interfuse this past weekend, hosted by the sound camp Eyelicker. Recorded for posterity by Davelybob, it is a supreme honor to share the experience with our audience, with Dixon's ever-gracious permission. The man is a gift to us from the universe.
Next time you should be there.

The intersection of Cherokee Street and Oregon Avenue was the epicenter of a massive rumbling freakout on Saturday as APOP Records roped off the street outside to unleash some of St. Louis's craziest acts on the general public. Catholic Guilt's stunning set centered around their particular interpretation of some old Ngozi Family tunes (look it up). Dingus is very pleased with the recordings he got- is it live or is it paradoxal?

unreleased PHONED NIL TRIO! a Paradoxal Pterodactyl EXCLUSIVE!
"Phoned Nil Trio is the harsh noise/free improv group consisting of Peter J Woods (xALLxFORxTHISX, FTAM), Neil Gravander (Lucky Bone, ex-Fahri) and Dan Schierl (Dan of Earth, ex-Aluminum Knot Eye). The sounds are spastic and totally awkward, combining harsh static blasts with synth pulses, tape hiss, arbitrary vocal samples, and long silences in a way that barely holds itself together. Sounds awkwardly cut in and out, slowly reaching a point of equilibrium only to have it ruined by the next jarring idea, leaving the audience constantly in a state of intriguing confusion. Live, the group matches its bizarre sounds with a strange theatricality, including the band brewing a free pot of coffee for the audience at every show during the performance (the percolator often doubling as a musical instrument as well).”
also, a heads up- Peter J. Woods returns to St. Louis with Lucky Bone in tow on August 8th, playing with friend of the show The Night Grinder, at LNAC. Do it.
