Earlier this summer we went to my wife’s high school reunion. I watched with interest as the DJ set up his rig. He didn’t bring any CD players. Instead he hooked an iPod and a computer to the sound system. His mix started out hit-or-miss but then he found a groove with typical baby boomer oldies, circa 1970. Since he seemed to be thirty-something, I was curious about his process of selection. I went up and asked him.
He told me, ‘As people suggest tunes I plug them into iTunes and then iTunes suggests other tunes and I cue them up.’ I thought to myself, ‘…kind of takes the matter of your own tastes out of the equation.’
I was reminded of the several occasions when I leveraged my own reputation as a music fanatic to gain access to the DJ spot. It’s enough to say, this didn’t work out very well. I have no feel for the hits, having turned off the radio in favor of my own mixology along time ago, say, around 1970!
However, another opportunity presented itself this summer. With more than a little trepidation, I assembled a 90 song playlist on my iPod and was ready to sin against the lowest common denominator. I took considerable care in putting together a long playlist of oldies and classic jazz and just a few oddball, albeit conservatively oddball picks.
It was not to be. My iPod didn’t issue a note when plugged into the Bose station. Fortunately, plan B was ready to go. A guy helping out had his iPhone, and his iPhone could access Pandora. Pandora, like the earlier party’s DJ leaning on iTunes, streams custom created “sets” which take a few user choices and formulates further choices from them. Automates the setlist. Cool, and it worked out well.
Here’s a Dub Collision mix taken from the long playlist, and, highlighting most of the oddball choices.

Are you digging the drone of the vuvuzela as it sounds constantly during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa? I am. The long plastic horn sounds like whale songs do.
I’ve a 20+ year, and intimate relationship with the music of South Africa. (A bit of story,) but, the main thing recently is that the deep and beautiful musical culture at the bottom of Africa also is, going back (say) 25,000-100,000 years is at the bottom of music. The deep old sounds are the center of my investigation and tool-making concerned with what I’ve come to term, imaginal musicology. See Rhythm River for the skinny.
Think about the progression going back in time: modern to ancient to archaic to primitive to proto music. Proto music would be the music sounded in the settlements of earliest mankind, and in this period, not known as music per say. It’s struck me what a heavy concept it is to regard something fundamental as originating in an even more basic form and formulation stretched back to the necessary point where it was not known in any ‘second order’ terms. So, the sound world, the intentional sonic projection, the directed voice or rhythm, is not at such time–way back then!-known as music. It came before music; it is the song of before music.
Appropriate to this, my mix offered here starts with the music of the Khoi of the Kalahari, and then wanders with considerable intention through the diverse garden of South African music, and through a fairly thick slice of musical history too. There’s a streaming sampling of a Khoi woman singing to dance to.

For May, a mix, drawn from relatable but not directly related sources. By which I mean there are sonic relations, yet this mix is basically a genre mash-up. Nothing Over is making a point about genres, in intended effect. …can’t call this dark ambient or experimental or jazz or noise, and wouldn’t wish to. Enjoy. let me know what you feel.

outtake from The Band
notes-So, my two most venerable muso budsand me were hanging out, and Dooz is reminding us to listen to his Bobby Charles tribute radio show. It had already been broadcast to its audience on the California-Nevada border. No, Dooz had supplied us with burned dubs. I got to thinking about another round of roots from ‘on the porch’ with some helpings of the late, great swamp popper and songwriter Charles stirred in. I conjured my new mix. But, then, the spankin’ new posthumous Charles record came into my hands, and I thought it deserved a feature.
Yup, Life is a carnival. Enjoy. Feel free to comment. -DC

There I was trying to figure out how to flesh out a CD started out with a 19 minute set from Captain Beefheart exiles Mallard. It was rendered 25 years ago and Mallard‘s weird psych/pop isn’t much like anything around these days.
Eventually I started plucking post-rock and other stuff and ended up with the present comp. It hangs together as a 40 year longitudinal slice of post-rock and psych. (40 years given the presence of Kaleidescope and the Grateful Dead, circa 1968.)
