Basslines for Death: Transmission 103, 2014 March 5

Here we have a "regular" Bombast, meaning the weekly time slot that I inhabit by default. This full-featured program incorporates a spin of American Music Club (the sound of limerance) and a heavy focus on Qui Seme Le Vent Recolte Le Tempo, the first album from the mighty Claude M'Barali, better known as MC Solaar. There was a time when I could grasp most of what he was saying--in fact I was introduced to his music in French class--but I'm out of practice and therefore reduced to responding to his flow as Guru did: "yeah."

Elsewhere: "what," I asked Lady Catharsis, "is the most Fall-like of all Fall songs?" Without hesitation, she replied, "check the record, check the record, check the guy's track record." Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one. This birthday thing that I have been doing: it's like having multiple Parlours of Listening.
