Me_as_a_cartoon_again "under the influence"
Sunday 10am-Noon
DJ DavidN

This Sunday we are "under the influence" of all things Irish. The feast of St Patrick's is almost upon us. We look at the influence of Irish culture on pop music. Ck out some tunes by Irish bands The Tossers, The Pogues, and Morrissey (of Irish blood though born in Manchester, England). The odd cast of mind that is the Irish sense of humor has impacted us as well. We'll listen to some clips by story teller Brendan Behan and hang out by phone with Mudhoney fan and wit Dermot Whelan (from Dublin's own 98FM)

Program Description: "under the influence" looks at cultural events that have impacted music. Or, if I feel like it, we look at music that has influenced musicians, writers, news figures, and other whack jobs.

Healthy Times Fun Club Magma Festival Show, March 14 2010

Healthy Times Fun Club is the underground Seattle show space in the sky that’s ready to have you over for tea, dinner, the TV show LOST, or some arts and crafts. If you don’t know where it’s located, you can find it in Capitol Hill. That should get you close. HTFC has hosted shows at it’s current warehouse space for three years and provided good vibes for the entire city. Healthy Times describes themself in this manner: “We are always a party. No drinking, smoking or haters! You can have 1000X the most fun ever but in a friendly, community oriented and non habit forming way! We try to provide a tasty vegan meal for most shows and food donations, such as bread or juice, are greatly appreciated.” This show is curated by me, DJ Tape Deck, and I want you to have a good time!

The Hoot Hoots

Bouncing on through the midwest, Colorado, Bainbridge Island, WA and finally Seattle, WA, The Hoot Hoots are high energy music! They are full of distortion, robotics, hooks, sing alongs, and suburban backlash. I’ve heard that their new Missile Teeth EP sounds like “My Unicorns CD met your robot in an electromagnetic storm, and their brains got really big. Come grow your brain under our aluminum plumage.” They have all sorts of gadgets and pedals and amps and tricks up their collective sleeves. At least that’s what I’ve heard through the grapevine. They’ve played at Healthy Times Fun Club once before and it’s great that they’ll be playing again. It’ll be my first time seeing them play and maybe your first time seeing them too! Let’s spend this time together. We’ll spin circles and bop around all night long while they hoot like owls and swoop down to claw out your heart… in a good way.

Low Hums
A group of words to describe Low Hums in list form: methodic, slow moving, atmospheric, droning, fierce. It’s no surprise that Low Hums are into the legendary NW band EARTH. I have a feeling that they will be LOUD, bring your earplugs. Bring two pairs even. One pair for you and one for your sweetheart. Their songs powerfully manifest the darkness, bleakness, and despair of the winter in western Washington. This is music that would fit nicely overtop of a 16mm film projected on the side of a building. The group is lead by Jonas Haskins on guitar and vocals with accompaniment on drums, bass, steel guitar, cello, and who knows what else. Ancient rituals? Casting spells? Calling on a giant blue Avatar??? Gotta come to the show to find out.

Gene Pool

The man Jon Pontrello is the mighty GENE POOL. For some reason, I’ve always felt a sort of Neil Young vibe. He has a really strong voice with a similar timbre to it. Jon says “no matter how much other music I listen to, I will never be able to take a chunk out of pink floyds influence on me.” I am not really a Pink Floyd fan but I’m super amp’d on Gene Pool! You can find lots of natural reverb and echo in his recorded output that has a mystical quality that just isn’t found in other musicians work. Not only does Mr. Pontrello play his own music, he’s a music teacher, runs Burn Through The Fog Productions to host shows in Seattle, and is an acupuncturist. Really? Yes! Read all about it on his all Pontrello all the time website: www.pontrello.com/jon

Margy Pepper
Lovely ladies from Olympia, Washington! Touching on indie pop, punk, riot girl, and indie rock. They are the kind of band that makes you want to tap your foot and shake your booty. They have been described as sounding “like the raincoats selling lemonade during the apocalypse”. They host shows in Olympia and have a youthful 3-piece sound, reminiscent of the ol’ K Records. Why say that though? Olympia just has it’s own thing going. I heard that it has something to do with the water. That’s probably true. Anyway, what’s not to like about them??? They celebrate National Pie Day and Mountain Dew! Erica and I are even from the same area in southern California. Heck yes.
