MMA – May 23, 2011 | CKUT's "Morning After" and "Lendemain de la Veille"

Playlist Extraordinaire:

Liz will soon update this marvelous blog, with all the musical and spoken word goodies that aired today -

which includes a classic song by one of our faves:

Pulp - “The Will To Power” from Masters of the Universe, a compilation album that grouped together the four Pulp singles released on Fire Records between 1985 and 1987 (with the exception of one track, “Silence” ) Some great news, Pulp have re-formed and will be touring throughout 2011!!! Check the link above!

Sabrina’s Secret Stash:

Today’s Secret Stash takes us to Sweden, the home of many interesting musical acts which includes Slagsmålsklubben, (often abbreviated as SMK) a Swedish electronic group from Norrköping, Östergötland. The group’s name is a comically literal Swedish translation of the title of the novel and film Fight Club.

Slagsmålsklubben can be “classified” as synth-pop, electro-pop. I have heard other terms such as bitpop, chiptune, gamewave is also another similar term for video game music genre…But to me it’s “classified” as good, plain ol’ FUN!!!

I came across their music one day, as I was watching a fan made video of the Swedish 1960s Pippi Longstocking television series on Youtube. For those of you who are familiar with Pippi Longstocking, the beloved children books character created by Astrid Lindgren. The particular video I saw had an incredibly whimsical, synth-pop soundtrack which I soon found to be Slagsmålsklubben, and I got immediately hooked!

They have released three studio albums so far.

* Den svenske disco (2003) which translates to The Swedish Disco

* Sagan om konungens årsinkomst (2004) which translates to The Saga of the King’s Annual Income

* Boss for Leader (2007) which was recorded in Berlin, Germany

The band are recording new material and their fourth album! Looking forward to hearing it!!!

Music played from Den Svenske Disco : “Övningsköra, (Test Drive)” “Wellington Sears,” “Vi Och Olle,” “Kinematografen,” “USSR,” “SMK Hittar Munspelet, (SMK Finds the Harmonica) ” and “Tjeckien, Slovakien Och Tillba (The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Back Again)”

Check out this awesome video directed by Tomas Nilsson, an engineer’s re-interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood to the music of Slagsmålsklubben.

Tis all for this week-the music is out there, go find it!!! -S

DESIGNER_MIX

MUTEK Festival 2011

JUNE 04, 2011 10:00 PM – 01:30

SAT
1195 Saint-Laurent Blvd

Montreal, Canada

A soirée dedicated to the first three cities to join UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network in the “design” category: Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Montreal:

These are three cities where creators of all disciplines converge. Three global hotbeds between which many creative types often travel, carrying with them ideas, images, and sounds. Three cities that are also well-known for their strong electronic-music scenes.

DESIGNER_MIX presents a hybrid program that evokes the spirit of each of these cities, while connecting the dots between the creators who live and work in them. For this evening dedicated to designers, MUTEK and the SAT join Ville de Montréal’s Bureau du design to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the city’s designation as a UNESCO City of Design.

Argentinean audio-visual artist Sol del Rio gets the ball rolling with a nuanced presentation. Next, Canadian dub-techno producer Deadbeat and world-renowned German video-artist Lillevan arrive for the world premiere of their new audio-visual collaboration. Pole returns to Montreal for his first MUTEK appearance in six years. The soirée culminates with the digital cumbia of Chancha Via Circuito.
