Damp Squib Minimix Fiesta

This week in the time-machine, a brand new experiment in "minimixing", inspired by the quizzical expression of the eastern gentleman pictured above. Taking four 7" records, namely:

... and working entirely with a single side of each record, across four turntables, to produce short, improvised mixes. With each mix we swapped records and had much fun playing about with accident and chaos. Business as usual, then, but with a mini, fun-size twist.

Beats & Bobs

A hhhhuge server crash at WFMU meant that this podcast didn't go out on time, but it's now available, albeit with a rather minimal blogpost. A 25 minute mix of drums, Stravinsky, Grieg, and all sorts of shattering and clattering. Perhaps the sound of a crashing server?

Norman's Attic : Volume One

This week on TTMB, an ubermix of 80s and classical music cats, from a pile of records discovered in the attic of a man called Norman (the pictured lady is not Norman).


No pre-listening, straight to the studio within ten minutes of discovering the records, spontaneous junk mix of prog, Belinda Carlisle, Beethoven, Black Box, and non-stop rock!

Next week, Norman's Attic : Volume Two!


Some discoveries and phenomena ...

Get Fighting Fit ......

This week in the time machine, we travel through swathes of acid and homoerotic paratroopers. Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa make a welcome return hitting the skins (of the paratroopers). A hundred drumkits falling down the stairs with a dog named Rover accompanied by the Mike Sammes singers (again). A piano being dropped from a great height. And all at the Cabaret! What a night it was .....

Mix created on three portable turntables and a Dansette Monarch. Delay button sprinkled liberally again.

The Time Machine opens its doors!

Welcome to the Time Machine! A chaotic mix of junkshop goodness this week, with recurring interjections from Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich slapping the skins like hot tuna on a wet bottom. A man with a very tedious voice talks about the Companies Act, while sipping a Tequila Sunrise, a barrel-organist enters the room, orders some hot bratwurst sausages, which are abruptly stolen by Tubby the Tuba, who is murdered by the drummer. And then a short delay. And some cheap jazz for those Saturday evenings when you have no alcohol and your dog has died.



Mix created live on four portable and vintage turntables, no headphones, you don't know what you're going to get when the needle hits the record. Able assistance provided by the delay button on the mixer. Copious amounts of chance, chants, red wine, and Belgian beer.
