The title suggests that the music is tired or sleep-inducing. I find most of it to be depressing or melancholy, which is fine by me. Requiem for Dying Mothers makes good use of strings and dog whines. Great stuff overall, but hard for me to describe. David Parisi (Friday 10pm-12am): Doormouse - "The Album?" (414-906-1751): Fueled by double breasted beer cans, I just barely managed to snag this on a recent red moon evening in Milwaukee. I should have taken warning. "What is this?" I asked Dan Doormouse himself. He told me it was his new CD. And that's about it. Until I hear the roaring elephants, 300 foot sitars, oldies stations, and saxophone leakage crashing all over the place. That's only on one track! There is also plenty of heavy blasting drums - programmed and real - with bass phasing rumbles. Also, featuring lots of jazz inserts... ah. Don't forget to let loose with dancing parts and some make-out excursions, because it's not all as hard as your bedpan. Yet, with plenty of parts that'll make you piss, you'll probably take this along with you into the bathroom. I know I have. The CD has too much good stuff to mention... Johnny Cash, Sun Ra's "Space is the Place," porno noises, and multiple mentions of cheese and bacon pieces; something everybody here at Wisconsin's WSUM can appreciate. All tripped on and slammed together by Doormouse. Wham bam jam, this is great! Comments: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The governor signed the contract for our tower construction and we hope everything will be ready to go for the beginning of the Spring semester in February. In the meantime, listen to us online at http://wsum.wisc.edu. You can listen live or stream/download our archived shows from the previous week. I'll be at CMJ this week. Send me a message if you'll be there. --Jacob Heule (Program Director / Experimental Music Director)
