VIVA RADIO-DON’T MAKE PROMISES

All Posts,Radio — Dan on April 10, 2012 at 10:30 am

I know everyone is waiting for more information about the forthcoming Trypes release and I promise we’ll have that soon (out April 24th!). In the meantime I’ve put up ANOTHER Viva Radio show, hot on the heels of the last one. When was the last time I had two new episodes back to back? WHEN!??!? Never mind that. I felt like my shows have included too much bleak post-punk music and not enough melancholy oldies, so I’ve got a little of both in this show, among some other hits and total jams. This is one of those shows where the style shifts and goes places you might not have dared imagine. Or, if you’ve been paying attention, is totally predictable. Either way, not a bad way to kill an hour. This airs at 1pm on Viva Radio and after will cycle in and out of the archives of my show, Pyjamarama. Enjoy.

Don’t Make Promises
1. Jimmie Rodgers – It’s Over
2. Roy Orbison – It’s Over
3. Glen Campbell – Guess I’m Dumb
4. Phil Ochs – Cross My Heart
5. Tim Hardin – Don’t Make Promises
6. Bob Bannister – In Christ There is No East Or
7. Jackson C. Frank – Marcy’s Song (She’s Just a Picture)
8. Tindersticks – My Sister
9. John Cale – Buffalo Ballet
10. Pin Group – Long Night
11. Joy Division – From Safety to Where…?
12. The Walker Brothers – The Electrician
13. The Main Ingredient – Magic Shoes
14. Schiller Street Gang – Remind Me
15. David Axelrod – The Sign (Part 1)
16. Scott Walker – Such a Small Love

ACUTE HARTZINE MIXTAPE AND OTHER INFO

All Posts,mp3,Radio — Dan on October 28, 2011 at 12:32 am

I made a mix for a French website. It’s not for dancing. More a college radio style collection of post-punk styled stuff, a bunch of uk lost generation type tracks and 2 songs from upcoming Acute releases, The Trypes and for the first time online, a track from the unreleased Lines material. Stream it here and read about us in french. Otherwise you can download it directly:

New Clothes for the New World
Tracklist below.

Been busy in Acute land. Disco Zombies LP came out late last month and has been doing well. Good reviews, airplay from respectable radio stations, demand out-stripping supply and, apparently, like all good music, “Big in Japan”. Getting ready for the Happy Refugees records Return to Last Chance Saloon coming late November. They’ve got a facebook page set up, which is a good place to learn about things such as their upcoming visit to New York to play with Crystal Stilts in early December. I’ll have more information on the Acute site soon, if you’re press/radio/retail types looking for info on this (or any of our releases), please get in touch! If that wasn’t enough, we’ve begun working on our next release, The Trypes, who, like Happy Refugees, have gotten back together to play some shows. More news soon!

In the meantime, check out the aforementioned mix. Here’s the tracklist:

1. Seefeel – Faults
2. Locust – I Become Overwhelmed
3. Design for Living – Red Ribbon Day
4. It’s Immaterial – A Gigantic Raft (in the Philippines)
