Nov 14th, 2011 Broadcast: EU Diaries pt. 1
Last Month, I went on a small tour through Iceland and Paris playing a handful of shows, mostly in the band Just Another Snake Cult. The trip was overall great and reinvigorating and I took several hours of field recordings most of which are audio diaries. These have yet been screened.
Tonight you will experience three hours of recordings from the trip. Ramblings, songs, etc.

This is the last Late Nights for the Longing for three weeks. Garrett will be taking over the show on the 17th but I’m unsure yet as to what the other two days will be when I’m gone.

My house that I frequently broadcast from is called the Funny Button. Last Thursday we hosted a festival called FUNNY BUTTON FEST, which was also the tour-kickoff show for Mega Bog + Kusikia on their United States tour.
This reminded me that I’ve recorded a lot of shows here at the house, where we’ll be broadcasting from tonight at 10pm. The above photo is when the house hosted Bad...

Sept 12th, 2011 Broadcast: Vocal Overdubbs
Tonight on Late Nights for the Longing, you get to sit in on a very special situation. We will be broadcasting from the OFF TEMPO studio recording space while I overdub vocals for Shelby Turner who I recorded a record for. His band is called Sundance Kids. It’s really good.
You get to eaves drop while we overdub to finish his record. It’ll be great. It’ll be weird.

Tonight on Late Nights for the Longing we’ll be playing a lot of Electronica / dance music. It’s inspired by the above photo of last week when I helped with a show of mostly textural electronic artists. Not at all inspired by who played but inspired by the manual that came with a missing Melodica that, I guess, is also called a Pianaica? Don’t ask me why.

Tonight on Late Nights for the Longing we have a very special free and open to the public in-studio. Somewhat recently (as in several months ago), cool / doing a good job label, Hardly Art, decided to release a record for a band called Seapony. They’re kind of couples-pop but most folks say Dream-pop or something like that. The band has been related to the band Tigertrap.

Tonight on Late Nights for the Longing, we will be broadcasting from a show at Healthy Times Fun Club, an all-ages space in Seattle. I know nothing about Xander Harris other than his name starts with an “X”, rhymes with Zander (or Hander depending on your language background).

Everybody knows about the disaster that fell upon Japan a few months ago. The earthquake followed by the nuclear crisis on the northern end of their continent that’s poisoned the water and food in the region. It’s terrible.
There was a wonderful get together of the community to host a benefit concert and have the money go to the guitarist of the band of DMBQ and the Boredoms, Shinji...

Last week I didn’t write about the program because I thought it was going to be a pretty basic show. Turns out I became mighty upset about the disparity that:

Even within a community that is semi-conscious of this, there needs to be more encouragement for ladies, womyn, queer, trans individuals to have a band.

I had never seen Lightening Bolt before this show, and my dear friend Taylor (responsible for being a wonderful and open person three years ago) seemed like he wanted me to see them play.

He was excited, I was kind of excited because he was but as I continued to hear people talk about the loudness and insanity that is Lightening Bolt i.e....

Remember how last week we broadcast live recordings from the iji / James Rabbit tour kickoff show? Weeelllll… The day before, we took a trip up to Vancouver, BC and played with Collapsing Opposites. It was in an Etrian restaurant. It was fun.
The weather was a bit rough. It wasn’t as bad driving up north from Seattle until it started to get darker outside, which meant it was getting...
Feb 28th, 2011 Broadcast: Lively Weekend
Best Friends from Santa Cruz, James Rabbit, are on tour with iji and iji is on tour with them. It’s a one month union. They drove ~12-15 hours from their home to Seattle to start their tour in the Northwest. Tonight I will be broadcasting the recording that took place last night at Healthy Times Fun Club with Punishment (s. funkee), Just Another Snake Cult, James Rabbit, and iji.

Neighbors is a band from Seattle. They could in fact be your neighbors or at one point may have been.
For the moment they are a three piece until their other guitarist, David, moves back from Oakland. They’re the closest thing that Seattle has right now for swoony “indie-rock” music about being a young someone and bees or something. They should know since they’re young,...

Dec 27th, 2010 Broadcast: Almonds, Cohen (kind of)
This photo is Brock from Almonds, Cohen that I recorded (?) in Vancouver, BC. It was taken whilst in Canada in the Summer of 2009 when iji and Watercolor Paintings played in Canada. I hadn’t seen him since Fontee Fest earlier that year when his other band Colourbook (Aaron of Dreamboat also is a member) played. Last February (almost a year ago) Brock played on Late Nights for the Longing...

Tonight is a post-tour episode of Late Nights for the Longing. Kind of a limited tour diary edition. These recordings were done whilst on the Slashed Tires / Humble Cub Fall 2010 west coast tour, titled Vote Yes on Proposition 69. Cleverly themed around the post-midterm election period.
Songs will be padded in-between but WATCH OUT! You don’t want to miss anything.

Yes!
Whilst there, I recorded the sets from the bill on Saturday (10/23) at the gallery / art space Toast Collective. They sound [profound + unknown adjective], which is great!

This is James and Amy- hopefully they liked each other and are dating.
Tonight on Late Nights for the Longing, we have a special Canada themed show for you. Around July I was in Vancouver, BC, as a driver for a band called First-Aid Kit. I walked around, walked around, and “DJ’d” whilst walking about.
Tonights show is from then. This show is also in dedication to our new (and...
Oct 11th, 2010 Broadcast: Queer Heros
When I was 8-ish or 10-ish and older, I listened to a lot of classic rock (courtesy of my Gramma). I listened to a lot of Queen. I think it’s safe for me to say that Freddy Mercury is my childhood hero.
Who else had a queer/femme/homo/trans/awesome hero? Anyone?
CALL IN AND REQUEST SOMETHING- or better yet- SEND A SONG!
Local or non-local.

Years and years ago I lived in the Tri-Cities, WA and it sucked. I was 19/20 when I started “discovering” music. Shit that wasn’t shit.

Jul, 12th 2010 Broadcast: Whitney Ford-Terry
Tonights show is dedicated to Whitney. She was on her bike Friday night and was almost struck by an automobile that was coming at her. If what I recall is correct (might not be 100%), she leapt off without being killed but has been in the ICU (just in case something goes wrong) since a bit after her initial admittance. She’s doing better but is likely to be let go tomorrow.
