Dark Meat: Music For Depressives » DarkMeat

A bit of what you should expect from a show called Dark Meat – songs about death. Honestly, it’s kinda nice once in a while to go back to the wellspring. * Rupert Holmes – The Place Where Failure Goes – Rupert Holmes (It’s out of print, you’ll never find it) * William Shatner – You’ll Have Time – Has Been * The Residents – Bach Is Dead – Duck Stab / Buster and Glen * Johnny Cash – If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven – My Mother’s Hymn Book * Loudon Wainwright III. – Surviving Twin – Last Man On Earth * Scott Walker – The Seventh Seal – Boy Child 67-70 * Stefan Archer – Dead – Hello Radio * They Might Be Giants – Exquisite Dead Guy – Factory Showroom * Tom Waits – Cold Cold Ground – Frank’s Wild Years The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

I have a fondness for musically inventive long pieces, which I hardly ever play on the show because, you know, they’re too darn long. Today I’m throwing pacing to the wind! Though actually, these things tend to be suites and they sound like a bunch of different songs. If you’re not paying attention, the only difference between this show and a normal one is there will be less jabbering during the breaks. * Issac Hayes – Something – The Isaac Hayes Movement * Television – Marquee Moon – Television * David Bowie – Station to Station – Station To Station The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

If the show sounds a little familiar this week, perhaps it’s because the whole Podcast, the whole series, is one long Geek Anthem. Nonetheless, it’s nice once in a while to get specific. * Kraftwerk – Computer Liebe – Computerweldt * Brian Eno – The Fat Lady Of Limbourg – Taking Tiger Mountain * Ex-Models – She Blinded Me With Science – This Is Next Year * ELO – The Diary of Horace Wimp – Light Years * Jonathan Coulton – Code Monkey – Thing A Week III * Dangermouse/Sparklehorse/Jason Lytle – Jaykub – Dark Night Of the Soul * The Holy Mackerel – To Put Up With You – The Holy Mackerel * They Might Be Giants – Metal Detector – Factory Showroom The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

Today’s show features Paul Williams’ first band (before he went solo) and two artists who were solos once in bands, one band who’s most known member left and two acts who, frankly fit in none of these categories. Sure it all amounts to nothing, but it’s a pleasant way to spend a hot half-hour in mid-August. * The Holy Mackerel – Scorpio Red – The Holy Mackerel * The Monkees – (I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone – Greatest Hits * Stan Ridgway – Peg & Pete And Me – Mosquitos * 801 – Flight 19 – Listen Now * Nat King Cole – Straighten Up and Fly Right (Will.I.Am Mix) – Re:Generations * Tom Waits – Straight To The Top (Vegas) – Frank’s Wild Years * Bobby Darin – I’m Sitting On Top Of The World – Ultra-Lounge * Amanda Palmer – It Runs In the Family – Who Killed Amanda Palmer The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

This week we journey into the netherworld that Kristian Hoffman calls “corporate psyche”: music that should have been psychedelic and transgressive but instead has all the rough edges sanded off by the man…. man. Let me know if the show sounds different to you. I’m using new stuff. * Zacharias – Light My Fire- Ultra Lounge On the Rocks Pt 1 * The Forum – Trip On Me - The River is Wide * The Holy Mackerel – 1984 – The Holy Mackerel * Love – My Little Red Book – Love Story * Vanilla Fudge – She’s Not There – Vanilla Fudge * Tomorrow – My White Bicycle – Tomorrow * The Amboy Dukes – Journey To the Center Of The Mind – Nuggets * The Four Brothers – Revolution – Spy Magazine Presents The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

Another show that I really can’t explain. Enjoyable music from Dark Meat favorites, and Chris Pierce’s debut Dark Meat. This is a milestone, man.

The RIAA can’t touch me, man! This here is a completely podsafe show – even the music behind the interstitial is permitted! Bands that you mostly don’t know, doing songs you’re really going to love.

I’m literally recording and posting this show on Independence Day, which means you probably aren’t hearing until a couple days later, unless you’re a foreigner or an American who wasn’t invited to a picnic. Nonetheless, it’s all about this great nation of ours in that quirky, ironic way that Americans are so good at. As a bonus, almost everything on the show is at least 30 years old, which has allowed it to age like a fine Wisconsin cheddar. * Brian Eno and David Byrne – America Is Waiting – My Life In The Bush of Ghosts * The Tubes – Proud To Be An American – Young and Rich * Deborah Harry – French Kissin’ In the USA – Once More Into the Bleach * Kim Wilde – Kids In America – Kim Wilde * Simon and Garfunkel – My Little Town – The Essential Simon And Garfunkel * Robert Preston – Seventy-Six Trombones - The Music Man * Whole Cast – A Mighty Wind – A Mighty Wind * Randy Newman – My Country – Bad Love The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

I have never had less to say about a Dark Meat show than this one.

Don’t have some? You want it. Have some? You want more. This Dark Meat rerun from, oh, quite a while ago looks at money, which talks if you pay it a speaker’s fee.

Tonights show has the theme of mystery. I’m not saying the show is about mystery – WHAT the show is about is a mystery. Don’t read the song list because it will give it away. I’ll admit though this is the closest I’ve come to being within half an hour in quite some time. That wasn’t a clue. * Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army – Are “Friends” Electric? – Replicas * Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. – Me And My Shadow - E-Oh-11 * Roxy Music – Love Is The Drug – Siren * The Anderson Council – Hole In the Sky – Colorsound * Scott Walker – Big Louise – Boy Child * The Monkees – Goin’ Down – Greatest Hits * Sparks – Metaphor – Hello Young Lovers The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!

If anything unites the songs this week, it’s their status as singles. Except maybe the Roxy Music song, which is – ? Who knows what the hell THEY were thinking. Or me for that matter. In fact, nothing unites the songs this week. Enjoy! * The Residents – Explosion – Meet The Residents * Roxy Music – Mother Of Pearl – Stranded * The Turtles – You Don’t Have To Walk In the Rain – Single * The Monochrome Set – He’s Frank – Chaps * The Kinks – Til The End of the Day – The Kink Kontroversey * Laurie Anderson – Only An Expert (Tech Support Glitch Mix) – Homeland * Leonard Cohen – Tower Of Song – I’m Your Man * Sugarplastic – Earthbound – 7x7x7 The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!
