The Idjut Boys, Pt. 1

wps1.org - art radio — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:14:00 -0400

The Idjut Boys (Dan Tyler and Conrad McDonnell, U-Star, Cottage, Tirk, London) take disco, dub, soul, funk, and jazz and fuse them into a heady cocktail of nightclub magic. Ever since the creation of their own label, U-Star Records, in 1994, they have performed remixes for the likes of Dimitri From Paris, (the late) Erot, and Muzique Tropique. Recorded live at P.S.1 Warm Up on July 8, 2006.

Night Nurse: A Radio Mix by Barb Stanek

wps1.org - art radio — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:12:00 -0400

A product of the high period of FM underground radio of the 60s and 70s, Barb Stanek produced an irreverent must-hear free form show on Chicago’s WJPC. This set, from her personal stash and rescued from an old audio cassette, would never have passed FCC mustard. It is explicit, politically incorrect, and full of nastiness and it displays her acid humor and brilliant editorial touch. A real show. With Marianne Faithful, Nichols & May, Paul Simon, Mose Allison, and others.
