WFMU @ SXSW March 19 (mp3 preview)

After our debut show at SXSW in Austin in 2008 and our joint show with our pals at Aquarius Records from San Francisco last year, we're happy to be returning to Encore (formerly Spiro's) on 611 Red River Street on Friday, March 19th!
The show is open to badge/wristband types, but also to the general public for a mere $7! That's 50 cents a band! We're super-excited about being back and also excited about the bill (which is a pretty unique blend of the poppy, psyched-out, heavy and otherwise that seems catered to both FMU and AQ listener/customer tastes!) The lineup:
We've got a heady mix of the heavy, damaged, darkly, punk, weird, noisy, poppy, trippy sounds, some hometown NY/SF heroes representing in Austin, and even a full on Cambodian psych-pop dance party at night's end. Check out the lineup, and a mix of audio from some of the aritsts who already have some music on the FMA

The many shades of Graphiqs Groove...

I first came across the work of Graphiqs Groove last year via Mevio's Music Alley. Six months later, I still don't know that much about them, except that they hail from Japan and describe themselves as a sound creator, drummer, and graphic designer. Graphiqs places the emphasis squarely on the Groove for their selections, crafting machine-driven and rhythmically complex house, techno, and drum and bass. The song titles are all different colors such as "Reed Gray" and "Deep Sky Blue." Different moods and textures accompany each shade, their common thread being a jazzy aesthetic that shapes each arrangement.
It's good to see these pieces as part of the Free Music Archive. Hardcore gamers out there may get some Sega Genesis flashbacks listening to some of these songs: they wouldn't be out of place as part of the sound test for your favorite racing game. For today's featured track, take "Sea Green" out for a test drive...
