DEAD & ALIVE DOWNLOADS

THRILLING NEWS: Three of our finest Dead & Alive episodes have been pulled from the archives and are now available for download! This is a fine opportunity to chuckle once more to our jolly-yet- informative off-the-cuff banter, or experience our unpretentious, idiosyncratic approach to introducing the classics for the first time. So, click on the titles below and keep us for posterity on your hard drive or mobile music device:

Country and Western
Originally aired 1 August, 2008
Our penultimate show, or maybe the one before, we played 90 minutes of pure country & western. One of our other joint musical loves, along with techno, it demonstrated what an alternate 'Dead and Alive' might have looked like. Featuring music by Porter Wagoner, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and a whole lot more. Full playlist here.

Christmas Special
Originally aired 27 December 2005
We'd only been on the air for a month or so when Resonance offered us the opportunity to present a 3 hour Christmas special. The studio was empty, we had carte blanche between an extended 'night loop', so we brought a bunch of friends, including David McAlmont who sang some A Capella carols, and traipsed up the rickety stairs of Denmark Street, clanking bottles of Christmas cheer, played tunes and slurred for three hours. No playlist for this one sorry but I recall the Love Joys, Handel (of course), and Wagner.

Dada
Originally aired 11 April 2008
One of our more adventurous programs, our examination of the music of Dada and subsequent music inspired by the anti-movement celebrated the 2008 exhibition of Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia at the Tate Modern. It featured regular contributor and Gallic guest Max Benezeth reading manifestos in French and correcting my appalling pronunciation, and Stuart Walton providing definitions and a brief critical analysis. Music by Francis Picabia, Erik Satie, Marcel Duchamp and many others. Full playlist here.

I've realised how easy, if time-consuming, this is so will post some more shows shortly. Comments and criticism encouraged - joshualine@yahoo.com.

MAX HEADROOM - WOLFGANG VOIGT

At 7pm on 3 March I'll be presenting a one-hour program for Triple R's Max Headroom show, examining the "classical" music of Wolfgang Voigt.

Here's what Triple-R say:
"The unlikely fusion of classical music and techno finds its most articulate exponent in Cologne-based producer and Kompakt Records founder Wolfgang Voigt. In productions stretching back more than twenty years Voigt has obsessively explored the 'boofta boofta boofta', or “deep soul of German techno”, aligning this with earlier pillars of German cultural history – Schoenberg, Wagner, oompah and Schlager.

"Tune in for an hour of these bizarre experiments, and hear music from some of Voigt’s most celebrated projects GAS, ALL and Freiland, along with some of his classical influences."

It ought to be a hoot. 102.7FM on your Melbourne dial or online at the link on the right.
