Herein we listen to music from Indonesia. And Drink. And live blog and tweet about it. Join along from home. Share what you think or what you like. Apologies to the good people in Indonesia who don’t drink.

8:00pm Let’s do this. Indonesia has tons of good music. This is a fun love ditty.

8:10pm That was pretty damned great! How about a Swervedriver cover?

And tons more after the jump… Continue Reading

Herein we listen to music from Poland. And Drink. And live blog and tweet about it. Join along from home. Share what you think or what you like.

8:00pm Let’s start this out with some stoner rock. With an EP titled “Weednight”, sorry to tell you coppers, we’re clean here. But this music is pretty good.

8:10pm How about some lady rock? One thing we noticed in our initial perusals is that musicians in Poland are very sad. Even these ladies seem somewhat sad. Oh this band makes me thing mazzy star.

8:20pm not drunk yet. but more music from Poland is coming. Here is a song called Alice from a band named Thesis.

8:30pm The masses unanimously insisted on this track. drunk’n’roll for the drunk radio shower.

8:40pm David picked this one. MORE POLISH MUSIC!!! What do you think? Check out #drunkradioshower below. They are on facebook.

8:50pm Going with this one for the artwork and the fact that they’re signed to Bat Shit Records. Can’t imagine being disappointed with it.

9:00pm our first completely random pick of the night. Mikroorganizmy. One of those names…

9:10pm if ANXIETY is your thing. A pick from the Jennifer machine. The band is Folder. Yes, it’s from Poland.

9:20pm That escalated nicely at the end of dreaming. Shawn has connected remotely. Shit now getting real. Here is some Torn Shore.

9:30pm ok time to move on. Lisa on the plate. Something different I presume.

9:40pm That was solid. Here is a random pick. Deep thoughts to follow.

9:50pm ok, let’s try this now. Because we are into literal band names tonight.

9:53pm cutting off that horribleness. Let’s try this pick from David. Then we’ll get Mahogs in the mix.

10:00pm Mahogany album art picked this one. We need something really good so let’s hope…

10:10pm that was great! So, how about music recorded in your dad’s ass?

10:17pm okay we need to go lofi. That went a little too jam band after a bit. And who doesn’t like a dog driving a car?

10:26pm ok, now that we’ve farted out our souls. We need to ground ourselves with some field recordings.

10:33pm Lisa going hip hop tonight.

10:37pm and Tony walks in with a solid pick. Something less random.

10:43pm It’s a bit sketchy to from Poland and be named Deathcamp Project. But they know about Well-Known Pleasures. Good job Margot.

10:50pm Well we hope that music wasn’t too weird for ya. How about a brief glimpse into 8 bit remixes?

10:55pm Jen and Mahogany picked this. It has potential I think.

11:02 more from dj tony. yes, we are drunk. fuck you.

11:08 how about what we hear is a Polish classic? We’ve been more frustrated than usual with finding shit we like. Our divergent tastes in house might be contributing but here is a classic nonetheless.

11:12pm ok, the newcomer Sam picked it. So it’s gotta be good right?

11:15pm Is it us? Poland, why don’t you have better music? we are going one more time. Chile was much easier I must say. #worldwar3

11:20pm ok, that was better. Let’s try False Month. This has potential.

11:39pm we got distracted by foosball. wanted punk bad.

11:45pm This can go a lot of directions, but lets try it.

11:49pm and Nacht und Nebel!!!! That’s where our heads are. alcohol blesses.

11:55pm Matt and Jim have taken over. Therefore the music has gotten better. Sorry peeps.

12:03am oi oi polloi

12:06am government flu. because we’re ready for this.

12:11am ok maybe time to move on an awesome Polish label…

12:15am things are good and we’re rolling with Nikt Nic Nie Wie Records…

12:22am Ok let’s try pagan records.

12:30am the reviews on this one are good. So we thought we’d give it a shot. It has tangental potential.

Refresh for updates. Jump below the fold for the full conversation…

Refresh this post for updates. Follow along on twitter. #drunkradioshower and #chile

8:00pm In just a minute we’re going to roll into a bunch of psyche. But check out this awesome post-rock / math-rock band from Chile. Warm up to this comfortably shifty music.

8:08pm Oops let that go for two songs. The Holydrug Couple… Sacred Bones signees and maybe the most well known band from this scene Stateside. Might as well ease into things.




8:20pm oops we’re slow. just let that band play for a bit. On to the next one. Y’all motherfuckers like MBV, right?




8:30pm and now we go twee. just discovered this an hour before going live with the drunk blog. so there!




8:40pm ok matt brings you… La Hell Gang. BJM-esque rock ‘n roll muzak.


8:50pm Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane… probably the first band from this scene I heard, and the sound I associate with it. Look up the video to this song, fits the mood perfectly.




9:00 And now we get pretty. so very pretty. reminds me a bit of a Chilean Emiliana Torrini.




9:10pm Let’s pick up the energy.




9:20pm ok we picked this one at random. umm, we’ll let you know what we think.


9:25pm oh that was a good break. Actually those guys seem like terrible people, please don’t give them any more attention than we already did. OK, back to the real tunes. Mi Andromeda toured with Astrobrite, which seems absolutely obvious when you listen to that.




9:35pm we will try another random one. we will so here is 5 minutes of some random dub-step from Chile.




9:40pm ok, let’s try fucking gothics at the beach. because that’s what we do.



9:45pm Watch Out!


9:55pm ok more good music. no more random stuff yet. Chicos de Nazca, featuring members of one of the bands we played already… who I forget… just take my word for it.


10:05pm The final pre-planned song of the night, which means we’ll be getting weird with it shortly. Bookending things another Sacred Bones band. Best accompanied by a bottle of Robitussin.




10:15pm Don’t call child protective services. The kids did picked this though. Seriously don’t call child protective services.




10:25pm this band is mixed in jim’s opinion. But he likes the opening track. He has opinions that no one listens to though so there is that.




10:35pm ok, random for the rest of the night. But we have hope and this looks good.

10:45pm Pontiacs were so good! wow! yay! awesome! and now for our next experiment. Mainly this dude looks like an old co-worker and friend.




10:51pm ok that was good in it’s way but totally ready for something hopefully better. everyone, arm your mind phasers.

10:54pm quick abandonment of that last one. Just ambient doesn’t fit drunk live blogging. But this is starting out really well.




11:04pm wow that was so good. can you match that nueva costa?



11:14pm we’ve been calling this the devil music all night. Doom but psychadelic? Are these tags legit?




11:21pm we thought that this album cover was very swirlies. but how is the music?

11:27pm this is for anyone who doesn’t like drunk radio shower blogging. los fuck you!



11:35pm that was really quite good. This looks like it has potential.



11:45pm gonna be hard to beat that. holy shit Desperfecto is soooooo good. And this is tagged as pop punk. Which is dangerous. Sorry Ryan. Anyhow, let’s find out.




11:55pm We keep eying this one. Could go either way. We all feel that let down is inevitable after Desperfecto, but who knows…



12:00am this one is fuckin medium fi. what the fuck is that? Note that we are playing at random.

12:05am so let’s try something different. sorry bandcamp, time to do some soundcloud.




12:10am omg i’m late! turns out laptops need power. even drunk ones.



Closing comments

I’m tired. We discovered some great shit. Some stuff I liked well enough but maybe won’t listen to much again. And some other stuff. No matter what. Music is something everyone can create and there is all kinds. What I like may not be what you like. But how great is it that we all find lovely tunes that fit our needs. Love music. Will never ever forget a certain split lp. – jim k
