Playlist 26.10.03 (11:09 pm)
Very sad to hear of Elliott Smith's death this week. That someone of his talent was so depressed that he couldn't see any point going on is quite an arresting thought... Although I wasn't a fan as such (I'm only starting to discover more of his music now), I thought he wrote beautiful songs, and the song I started with today is an absolute pop gem. I can only quote the man himself:
Wes Anderson chose Elliott's "Needle in a Haystack" for the (attempted) suicide scene in The Royal Tennenbaums, but rather than depress us with more thoughts of suicide I decided to play the beautiful Nico song Anderson also included on that soundtrack. It's a Jackson Browne cover, and I've now discovered that Elliott actually played a cover of it live, in his hometown of Portland in 1999. Through the magic of filesharing, I might play it on next week's show. Elliott Smith - Waltz #2 (XO) [Dreamworks]

The usual anomalous beginning to the show this week. Dedicated the first two songs to the usurper king George Bush, on the eve of his visit to Australia to meet his little buddy Johnny and seal with a kiss the free trade deal that will make Australia the 50+Nth state of the USA... More at Stop Dubya. Midnight Oil - US Forces [Sony Music (although my copy says CBS *smile*)] Monday, 13th of October, 2003
Playlist 12.10.03 (4:31 pm)
Couple of 45 second tracks from the 45 Seconds Of... comp on Simball Records this week, plus just about all varieties of Hood's music, a bunch of excellent Aussie stuff, and even some Dixie swing klezmer. Uh-huh. Tune in next week for a whole lot of new stuff, if the international mail behaves. Hood - It's Not That Much To Lose [Simball Records]

email: utilityfog at frogworth dot com bsky Mastodon Utility Fog teeters on the cusp between acoustic and electronic, organic and digital. Constantly changing and rearranging, this aural cloud of nanotech consumes genres and spits them out in new forms. Whether cataloguing the jungle resurgence, tracking the ups and downs of noise and drone, or unearthing the remnants of glitch and folktronica, all is contextualised within artist & genre histories for a fulfilling sonic journey. Since all these genre names are already pretty ridiculous, we thought we'd coin a new one. So "postfolkrocktronica" it is. Wear it. Now available: free "Live on Utility Fog" downloads!
