The Last DJ is Booted by the Man


Jim Ladd was let go when L.A. rock radio station KLOS-FM was bought by Cumulus Media (think Clear Channel)

On October 26, 2011 Jim got the boot and you should care. If you haven't unplugged your mp3 player from your car in a while you have noticed that Cumulus, Clear Channel and other large media conglomerates play generic top 40 and put little effort into appealing to the musical tastes of people that love music.

"Ladd was doing late nights at the station and was considered the last truly freeform DJ in the country. Ladd joined KLOS in 1997,"

"There's no room for, or understanding of, what I do on the air," Ladd said of his nightly shows, on which he wove together songs to reflect or illuminate a particular theme. "They want a tight format, but that's not what rock 'n' roll is all about. Rock 'n' roll is about freedom."

Rush drummer Neil Peart describes as being "about guys like Jim Ladd … one of the last renegades who believes that broadcasting can be art."

"Radio should be ashamed," Ladd said, "that TV is now hipper [to new music] than rock radio is."

Lets all hope he puts out a podcast, or gets on Satellite Radio. We're going to need him.

"Where Are The Party People!" Designer Drugs @ 2720 Cherokee

With all of the obvious tour packaging to make large profits but not great experiences for fans going on, I didn't think that the Sex Cult tour was going to be that much fun. I just sort of assumed that the artists that showed up would be a collection of people that some pencil pusher put together to make lots of money. It was not the case during the Sex Cult Tour at 2720 Cherokee.

Playing on the Sex Cult Tour is: Skitsnygg, Your Dirty Habit, Black Matter, Nick Eng & DL, Coreyography, Designer Drugs. On stage, they all seemed to be good friends and helped each other out during sets. It was the sixth day of their tour and they seemed to be having a great time.

It had a real radio/club feel because the beat didn't stop the whole time as they switched out MacBooks for the next artist.

All the artists, especially Designer Drugs, had great stage presence and were into the music that they played.

When Designer Drugs came on the show hit it's apex. Everyone was on the dance floor having a great time. At one point he played Beautiful People by Marylin Manson. My friends and I sang the whole thing. Then he asked me if I wanted to hear anything specific and I blanked. I should have asked for Shut Me Up by Mindless Self Indulgence.

I went home spent from dancing for four hours and happy that I had such a good time with friends.

WWIII Tour - 11/6/11 - Family Arena


I've noticed that some very strange combinations of bands have been touring together as of late. The last was Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie, although they are both admittedly Shock Rock, their crowds are different. The stoned dad who still listens to Cooper does not listen to Zombie and the angsty soul that listens to Zombie doesn't much like Cooper. It does sound good on paper.

Just like the WWIII tour sounds good on paper. Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria, Borgore, We Came as Romans, DRUGS, and Strych 9 Hollow. "Look at all of the teens this will draw in" says the crazy pencil pusher.

First up was Strych 9 Hollow. I've seen them twice now, they are a local Metal act, one of the few St.L local acts left. They are good, their guitarist rocks and they generally have a great time. They might have not had as much fun this time because the sound guys didn't agree to give them any kind of sound check. The PAs made them sound like crap and it was clear that they were thrown in at the last minute. However, I like their stage presence and I and several other metal heads had a good time listening.

Next up: D.R.U.G.S That stands for Destroy. Rebuild. Until. God. Shows. They were an awesome opener. They really pushed the crowd participation and got everyone into a frenzy. Moshing started and no one came to stop it. We were home free. Craig Owens, the lead vocalist, created a platform of fan's hands to sing from for a song.

We Came As Romans. The hardcore dancing really picked up. Hardcore fans through kicks and punches, girls screamed, they kept going. As a metal head myself, my natural enemy is the hardcore kid. However, we seemed to understand each other: you punch me, I'll bury you. So we stayed out of each others way. I didn't exactly know the lyrics so it was hard to understand the lyrics, but the breakdowns....oh...the breakdowns were heavy.


Borgore. Before this I had never seen a dubstep artist play live. I am an avid dubstep fan and I've done three shows on the subject. Borgore came in strong. His signature pole dancers to the right and left and bass bombing from the subs. The mix was good and I hadn't heard it before, then, not even five minutes in, covers started. I enjoyed the remixes: Skrillex, System of a Down....then he jumped off stage...and left. Borgore was on for all of 15 minutes. He was obviously hungover and pulling a leaf from Kings of Leon's book
Asking Alexandria. The moment we all were waiting for. The crowd went nuts, I went nuts. There were two separate pits. One for moshing and one for hardcore dancing. I stayed in my metal head area until someone had the idea to bash through the slim wall separating the pits. Then chaos exploded. Asking Alexandria called for a wall of death, we obliged. Then, the second Kings of Leon. The lead singer,Danny Worsnop, said his voice was out. He was hungover too and Asking Alexandria ended early.

I didn't stay for Hollywood Undead to prove that they could show up on stage hungover too.

This review might sound bitter, and it is a little bit. However, I had fun. The crowd was generally great and I moshed with a lot of great people.

If your interested in Dubstep, I've got three shows for you to listen to.

Astha-pocalypse! Concert and EP Release

If you've never lived on a college campus, you might not understand what a cappella is (yes, it's spelled that way). It's almost a known fact that any respectable college with a active campus has at least two a cappella groups. SLU just happens to have four, and everywhere there is an open mic night, they will be there.

I am by no stretch of imagination, an a cappella aficionado, but I really enjoyed this concert. It included five a cappella groups from both St. Louis University and Washington University.

It opened by Astha with the most appropriate song, Thriller by Michael Jackson. An excellent performance by soloist Julianna parker and and through the hall there was not a solemn face after Zach Strehlau belted out the thriller laugh.

The Green Leafs then made their appearance on stage. Greenleafs are an all-female a cappella group from Washington University founded in 1988. They sang Landslide by Fleetwood Mac and You and I by Lady GaGa.

our collective childhoods walked on stage when the Aristocats, Wash U's all-Disney group, hopped up on the wobbly platform . A fairly new group started in 2006, they still rocked out with the rest of them singing Son of Man by Phil Collins featured in Tarzan and Zero to Hero by Alan Menken featured in Hercules.

Astha made another appearance on stage and melted our faces with The Chain by Ingrid Michaelson and a remix piece that included Dil Me Jag, I Want You - Sur, and Savage Garden. I have been to my share of a cappella concerts and I have never seen three songs switched between during one performance. An excellent remix arranged by our own Courtney Koger.

A SLU a capella concert would not be complete with out the Bare Naked Statues, an all-male group founded in 2000. They covered Roxanne by the Police and Outside Villanova by Erik Hutchinson.

Right before the fiery finale, The Amateurs literally rocked the rickety stage in their red and black glory. They are a co-ed group in their 20th year and have many grand performances to their name.

Astha made their final appearance on stage with four beautiful songs: Settle Down by Kimbra, Jab Mila Tu/I'm Loving You - I Hate Love Stories/John Mayer, Fix You/If I Die Young - Coldplay/The Band Perry and Aahista - Bachna Ae Haseeno.

Astha A Cappella has been working on it's EP release for quite sometime in coordination with the KSLU Production Team: Jason Swierk and Raphael Knaub. It contains 7 mastered tracks and is quite an accomplishment for a bunch of volunteers

The EP will be on sale at future Astha Concerts that can be found through their Facebook Site.

Infrasonic Subwoofer


A brilliant maker on the instructables site made a Infrasonic Subwoofer with well done instructions.

Infrasound is sound that is below your hearing threshold which general drops off at 20-30hz, i.e. lower than big booty bass. It can have a profound effect on your body, and should be experimented with carefully! Infrasound is used by the military as a weapon, or science to monitor earthquakes, whales ect..

This guy is making the speaker to study sound as a weapon. I was just thinking about it's possibilities with Dubstep. Imagine if you could feel Dubstep on the Infrasound level....

This show was very experimental for me. It's the first time that I've attempted to use Mixxx to do radio. I've played with it in the past. This is really a trial by fire for me. I'm starting to understand beatmaching and how show creation needs to be more dictated by BPM than I'm used to....anyway...here is the playlist.

Crescendolls - Daft Punk
Beadumægen - Wisp
Ants - ediT

Let the Funk Ride - AIM
Sunday Smoking - Martin Dawson
Big - Donald Glaude

Fingerpaint - Digital Witches
Gift - Way Out West
Fast Life - Bad Boy Bill

Love will find you - Paul Anthony and Zxx
Southside - David Clarke
Bat Box - Miss Kittin

Hi Friend - Deadmau5
The Grid - Daft Punk (TCM Remix)
Satisfaction - Deadmau5

Next week will be Industrial...emphasizing EBM...or Electric Body Music....Also...more beatmatching...I'll master it one day.

Best,

Popeye

"We're the F&#king Walmart of Psychobilly" - 9/26 Nekromantix @ The Firebird

Dear Listeners,

On the evening of the 26th of September an enthusiastic bunch of people showed up at the Firebird for a show the likes of which you have (probably) never seen.

Two bands belted lyrics, shredded guitar, and slapped double bass like the world was going to end in 2012.

Those two bands of demons are known as The Howlers and Nekromantix.

The Psychobilly scene was in full force on the night of the 26th. Many guys had their hair shaved into high wedge-shaped pompedorn quiffs and mohawks. The mens style seemed to be more punk that 50's fashion. The females in the scene tended to dress exactly like women in the 50's with a punk or goth twist. They also gave death stares to anyone who broke uniform.

The Howlers were up first. They hail from San Gabriel Valley, CA and their sound was more punk than what is usually considered gothabilly, but it was not mixed very well. However, it was still alot of fun, and the lead singer, Eli Misery (excellent stage name), got a mosh or two from the otherwise sleepy St. Louis crowd. Peter Panic (also an excellent name) really rocked the hell out of his phosphorescent double bass. Click HERE to hear what I thought was their best song.

After the Howlers ended their set the Nekromantix made an impressive entrance under the blast of creepy, ambient Halloween sounds. Kim Nekroman (I love stage names) ,who used to be a damn submarine radio operator for the Danish army, slapped some big ass strings on stage with his custom coffinbass. Francisco Mesa shredded his hollow-bodied electric like a champ and Lux, a mysterious woman in goth attire, rocked on the drums. Lux became a part of the band after she put drum covers out on the Internet. Kim has a great stage presence and made us believe that he might have dumped a dead body out of that coffin before he made it into a double bass. He also said....and I quote "We're the F@#king Walmart of Psychobilly!" after he realized they had been playing for the length of two albums but we only paid $13 to get into the show.....I enjoyed that throughly.

This is one of their new songs....
Nekromantix - What Happens In Hell, Stays In Hell by hellcatrecords

It was a great show and I had a great time. There were between 80 to 100 people there and the Firebird makes for a very intimate show. I made a bunch of friends and moshed my share. When the Nekromantix come back into town, I would suggest going. The best part might have been seeing two hearses outside the Firebird after the show.

Interested in Rockabilly or Psychobilly. Listen through this playlist.

Amor Psycho by Voodoo Zombie
Bride of the Monster - Kitty in a Casket
The Garden - The Creepshow

My Love for Evermore - Hillbilly Moon Explosion
The Boogie Man - The Hellfreaks
Ghosts of the Twilight Storm - Shaun Kama And The Kings Of The Wild Frontier
