Does this feel like the holiday season is at its tail end? Are we already back to slaving for the freedom we have left? In any case, welcome back to our little safe haven of empowering sounds and abstract stories, a new week dominated by a handful of ace finds, that should put in perspective some old friends. I've been working plenty on several threads that should soon manifest into striking new discoveries, but this Friday is the result of the exact same labor, and has nothing to be shy for, and shy we aren't!
Le crépuscule ami s’endort dans la vallée,
Sur l’herbe d’émeraude et sur l’or du gazon,
Sous les timides joncs de la source isolée
Et sous le bois rêveur qui tremble à l’horizon,
Se balance en fuyant dans les grappes sauvages,
Jette son manteau gris sur le bord des rivages,
Et des fleurs de la nuit entrouvre la prison.

So here it is, Three years now that this incarnation of my weekly live streams have been going on.
There was a previous version of that, but not called that, and not as regular, as focused, and not as good sounding,
I'm sure some of you regret the good old days from prior to that, but there's no way I could have gone on with this at such a pace and such high standards (!) if not for the support and help from the community we have here.
I might do a little something this Friday, if I come up with a fun competition idea, but the best I can do is probably have an as good as possible stream as possible, and I am indeed quite excited with the selection I have to share. Old, brand new, dub, electronic, ethnomusicology, jazz, experimental. raï, fusion, drone, minimal post punk, fourth world, techno, gwo ka, bass music, hyper pop, avant garde, and probably more!
So I hope you tune in live for this anniversary stream, and that we make it extra special ^^
My friends with names like gloves set out
Bare handed as they have lived
And nobody knows them
It is they that lay the wreaths at the milestones it is their
Cups that are found at the wells
And are then chained up

I started this channel just a little over 5 years ago now. At first, I was doing regular VC videos, more or less. But very early on, I chose to play music as well, even if everyone told me back then that "you cannot do it", that youtube would block you and cancel your channel.
At first, I thought I would just try and see what happens. Nothing serious happened.
Sure, I got a few videos blocked, a few that I had to edit some copyrighted songs out, and of course, none of these videos can be monetized. So, yes, I was not going to get rich or referenced, doing that. So I guess that was not my goal there, but as I started to do this on a regular schedule, "sacrificing" my Friday evenings, I saw a video about shoe-gaze that implemented this Kofi thing, so that you could support the channel. I decided to try this out, as a sort of social experiment, and about three years ago, this decision changed everything.
With the ongoing support of some dedicated viewers, I could increase the quality of sound gradually, to the point where we are now, and most importantly, afford digging deeper in the unheralded rabbit holes I've always been fond of, and share knowledge almost immediately. The Tumult festival also is an unexpected result of this, as it allowed me to reconnect with artists from a more journalistic position, but my own one.
Next week will mark the exact 3rd anniversary of the current format, but tonight should be a good exemple of where this leads us already, with some pretty cool new arrivals, and some new discoveries. See you this Friday!
A few surprising turns follow us everywhere.
I was shopping for something to replace
what I once felt. Weren’t there buildings there
where we once lived, fully furnished
and looking out on the sea? Didn’t we distill
from neighbors the necessary codes
and gestures? At the core we were all traipse
and meander, governed by fill in the blank.
But it was here, the ramshackle Cape Cod
with rattling shutters eaten away
then revived, mended and painted over.
It takes just a scent of sea spray
to bring back the once was: skimpy,
the bikini, the beach, the conversation,
the veil of summer, skimpy the engine
that chugs toward love, skimpy the cover
of the universe. Thanks to this fragrance
we can sit under our favorite cedar,
or picture the old dreaded barber shop.
Now I want my hair touched, and my cheek.
I want the salt rubbed out with a handkerchief.

It still feels like that time of the year when everything slows down, vinyl record wise. It may be just a feeling, but spectacular things seem to be around the corner. And while I say that, I did a lazy visit of the local record stores in between two administrative shores, and was rewarded with a cheapn discovery, and the most unexpected grail. Again, the shelves will compliment these two finds, as may your input, dearest viewer, a reminder of how useful the record Tardis is. I hope we have fun, discover some great music, or rediscover, because again, it is that time of the year.
When we search for an object
there is only finding the quest
it is after all
like that—
you merge you speak
there is art
& you find your way home

These past few weeks have seen a lot of older purchases find their way onto the turntable. Is it that time of the year, when everything slows down? It might be, although I've been listening to an absurd amount of releases online, past present and future. Does listening to upcoming releases mean we can see into the future? I remember how in the late 90ies, we were a bunch of people owning a CDR demo version of Prefuse 73's first album, that was to be released a year and a half later, on Warp records, if not even later. We all knew this was a game changer, but the game had not changed yet. Today I listened to an extraordinary ambient LP, that kind of makes me already live somewhere forward, until it gets released in October. I also listened to a 1977 recording of sanza playing.
They tell us time is relative, and each one of these streams is an exemple of that.
The crunch is the thing, a certain joy in crashing through
living tissue, a memory of Neanderthal days.

These past few months, selecting records for this weekly stream has been fairly easy, as I just had to go through the latest purchases, finds and presents, only slightly complementing this with some shelves' picks. This week, as the new arrivals somewhat slowed down - waiting for shippments and some collections - I have to rely on the later option, which always makes me feel a little insecure. You see, I know my records pretty well, and what has been in the collection has already been shared, explained, etc. But I have to remind myself that this adventure started 35 years ago, and that hte vast majority of my older than 5 years old records still might be worth sharing again.
So here I am, certain of my uncertainty, let's hope it'll be fun and possibly surprising!

Now deep into the summer, a new pace settles, even if the world and chaos refuses to stop. The other day, I played a record that I described as one that stops time. Maybe that is what we seek in music, maybe we use music as a way to control reality for a little while. But you know very well that this stream is not about control, quite the opposite. The only control here is the somewhat whimsicla choice of records I put on the turntable. And this week, quite a few new major releases for 2025, an old grail, and the ongoing exploration of the shelves & recent finds. No one forces us to be here and watch this, but if you feel an urge to do so, let's cheerish the moment, together or in the comments, the work never stops!
The pressure of the moment can cause someone to kill someone or something
The leniency of consideration might treat with more kindness
Which is to be desired. Or at least often to be desired.
But if my house is on fire and you notice, I wish you would kill
That fire. But if my hair is on fire, while I’m sure you’ll be enjoying
The spectacle of it, act quickly or don’t act at all. But if a sudden
Jarring of us all out of existence is eminent, do something.

So I guess most of us now are in summer vacation mode. Maybe this will influence the direction of this stream, maybe the sun will set upon the shelves of the vinyl record shed, maybe I'll only play Italo Disco... Or maybe we'll go with the flow, and you can tell me where I should go, and I'll end up playing Miami Bass for an hour, since that's what everyone seem to want, according to my incredible room reading skills. Well, all of that might be true, since it's all a big beautiful lie. So have your drinks ready, very hot with ice, pet your alligator, as you're going to be busy for a couple of hours!
Sisyphus punches in, each morning,
At a mountain he must face all day,
In hell, for eternity, and at night,
Having not reached the summit
Again, he walks down slow, where
The rock rushed by, careful to see,
With new eyes, where it all went
Wrong, again, and then later,
At the bar in town, sits cooling his
Bleeding hands against a whiskey,
On the rocks, and maps new paths,
On a napkin, inside the wet ring
His tumbler made, again and again,
The routes running on to absurd
Lengths, hands shaking, and if it
Wasn’t a map, you might think
It was the history of history
Or parts of a nude in repose,
Patient with death and belonging.

Since I started this series, I've tried - and mostly succeeded - to hold myself to a weekly schedule. The few times I had to skip a week always made me feel indebted to you all, and such was the last one. Yes, as you probably all already know, I was in the middle of the annual music festival I curate and produce with my friends Nils and Mats. Some of you were - hopefully - lucky enough to attend, as I dare say it was a unmitigated artistic success, a wonderful human experience, and a great inspiration altogether. As expected, it was hard and difficult work, to the very last second and beyond, and I find myself in an altered state, both physical, and emotional. But this is still hopefully just the start of something even greater, and this new stream will keep showing a path, with an abundance of new directions, both from the past, present, and even near future.
So, expect the very best, the very unexpected, the obscure and the light, with a big thank you for your ongoing support!
I wake myself imagining the shape
of the day and where I will find
myself within it. Language is not often
in that shape,
but sentences survive somehow
through the islands of dark matter,
the negative space often more important
than the positive.
Imagine finding you look at the world
completely different upon waking one day.
You do not know if this is permanent.
Anything can change, after all,
for how else would you find yourself
in this predicament or this opportunity,
depending on the frame? A single thought
can make loneliness seem frighteningly new.
We destroy the paths of rivers to make room for the sea.

Last stream before the Tumult Music Festival break. I will try to do a little spontaneous stream during the festivities, but I can't promise anything, as I probably will be running around all day(s).
What I can promise is that this Friday presentation will be amongst the best one I've done, as the records that have landed the shelves are just too good, and the new audio cable has arrived and is working just fine so far. Expect psych folk, modern classical, tape music, avant improv, ambient, minimal post punk, ethnomusicology, no wave, drone, easy listening, electronic music, jazz, outsider music, etc, and to inflate your wantlist. Don't hate me, support me ^^
When the boys are carnivals
we gather round them in the dark room
& they make their noise while drums
ricochet against their bodies & thin air
below the white ceiling hung up like a moon
& it is California, the desert.

Two weeks away from Tumult Festival - instagram.com/tumult.kultur - and still, I found some time and energy to dig for records, and I guess I might follow the flies...
Because yes, musical heroes leave us left and right, these past few day. It's sad, and forces us to self reflect on our own finality. But let's rather think of it as paths, timely bifurcations, where the past, present and future meet, and offers us a more relative take on time than our linear lives usually provide. And I already know this new session will have its own little micro universes, that do not need to end when the song finishes.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
And is not time even as love is, undivided and spaceless?

After a couple of weeks of uncertainty, I should be fully loaded with new arrivals, old and new releases, including some artists really dear to me. And I've already had some time to spend with those, which resulted in me bing floored, both metaphorically, and literally.
As we get closer to the second edition of the music festival I curate - instagram.com/tumult.kultur - I’m getting hyper focused on the music that will get performed and played, including by me, so the Friday stream is a welcome distraction, that already triggers thoughts for next year’s edition. But until then, be prepared, this will. Be a good one ^^

Heaped sweets and a treasure
For a new sin to play with,
To pass a night and day with––
Heaped sweets for a pleasure.
Who and who will win them?
Who will carry virtue’s pall?
Of what use are sins at all
If someone does not sin them?
Who will take the treasure?
Run and run on light-winged feet;
Who will buy my sweetest sweet
With a new found pleasure?

As I write these words, I have a little vinyl records digging expedition lined up before the livestream. So I am clueless as to what will drive me this time around. Last week, the Coffin Mulch / Mick Harris collab was an ace in the sleeve, but will each installment be like that? Quite a lot of you do give me a lot of energy, with tips, words of encouragement, challenges, and I do remember when I was doing my radio show in Paris - Helter Skelter - that I already had that drive of always doing at least as good as the week prior. Who was the judge of that? Well, mostly me, and I thank you for having taken over that task, a much more virtuous pattern ^^
And as we now have eaten a good chunk of the year, I must say it's been a privilege to investigate such exciting musical times with you lot. I know I'm not too keen on public appraisals, but what a splendid musical year, so far!
Love hums in your veins with the deep and heartening sound
Of a temple gong—
The gong of Dai Nippon
That fused into perfect, fastidious harmony
When a girl had flung into the quag of its white-hot metal
Her rhythm of passionate life.

Last week's stream was rather fun, with a few surprises, even for myself - the "rediscovery" of Ganger, and the Ptaki/Robert Ashley megamix ^^ - but you may have noticed, I'm always more excited in advance when I have new arrivals, and expecialy when it is new releases that I think are worth sharing.
Well, this is one of those weeks, as I have a bunch a of cool new records, including one that is so far top 3 of 2025, alongside the SFT and Tartine the clous ones. You might wanna ask which one, before you remember the answer will be delivered this Friday, and probably in two installements.
So I hope to see a lot of you for this one, it should be a blast, and not a wintry one!
I think I will learn some beautiful language, useless for commercial
Purposes, work hard at that.
I think I will learn the Latin name of every song-bird, not only in
America but wherever they sing.
(Shun meditation, though; invite the controversial:
Is the world flat? Do bats eat cats?) By digging hard I might deflect
that river, my mind, that uncontrollable thing,
Turgid and yellow, strong to overflow its banks in spring, carrying
away bridges;
A bed of pebbles now, through which there trickles one clear
narrow stream, following a course henceforth nefast—
Dig, dig; and if I come to ledges, blast.

The other day, I was thinking about the idea of listening to music becoming a political act. Art has often been the place where you can find political commentary, in authoritarian societies. Back in the 1600's, the most effective critique of the golden king was found in the comedies of Molière. When words can now get you fired, canceled, or killed, how will the censors tackle instrumental music? The tories tried to regulate the audience of repetitive music, Turkey and Belarus are codifying what BPM range is tolerated, and so on. So the question as to how long will we enjoy a true diversity in music is a valid one, a goal worth fighting for, considering instrumental music might be one of the last places - with fine arts - where disruptive messages can be embeded in. Maybe this is a little dramatic, as of today, but the tomorrows are built now. So we'll see how this week's stream tackles that topic, and you are welcome to share your thoughts through the live chat, or the comments.
Just a thought ^^
Cheers

That Melville might
Be taught in the next decade. Another woman asked, "And why not?"
The first responded, "Because there are
No women in his one novel."

Another week showing us we must either escape or tackle the world...
Yes, that's where we are now, and I don't which of the two options this stream helps, but as usual, you can expect challenging, disruptive and beautiful music, from new and old records you may not have heard of prior. I know, I know, nothing new here, but isn't it the measure of this weekly adventure in modern music? So by all means, let's see how far we can go, we might end up fixing the world, or finding an alternate one. Let me know ^^
What torture lurks within a single thought
When grown too constant; and however kind,
However welcome still, the weary mind
Aches with its presence. Dull remembrance taught
Remembers on unceasingly; unsought
The old delight is with us but to find
That all recurring joy is pain refined,
Become a habit, and we struggle, caught.
You lie upon my heart as on a nest,
Folded in peace, for you can never know
How crushed I am with having you at rest
Heavy upon my life. I love you so
You bind my freedom from its rightful quest.
In mercy lift your drooping wings and go.

Last week was the milestone stream, when I passed 3000 suscribers. Does that change anything? Maybe, but not really in any way I can really feel. Maybe the channel gets slightly better referenced. But no one really cares about that, here. That being said, what it may change, is that I've got a lot of video ideas planned that would be easier to produce if I indeed did get better visibility on Youtube, even if the topics are extremely niche, and possibly as weird as this week's thumbnail ^^
And about that thumbnail, will it color the mood and direction of this friday's stream? You tell me, as I have no clue, hahaha.
When strange light stirs the mirror, forces swirl
the shadows by the bathtub and I glimpse
a figure standing glowing. As I rinse
the toothpaste down the drain, his blind eye whirls
numinous white, his hair is moonlight streaming.
I know neurologists have shown the course
of dreaming as synaptic lines of force,
and even in this dream I know I’m dreaming,
yet when the light refracts at such an angle
it shows his broken face, frost in his beard,
his black lips mouthing words I only hear
as moaning of an operatic angel.
His ice hand reaches out. I flinch in fear.
The mirror breaks. I gasp awake. He’s here.

Last week was a pretty good showcase of this community, but guess what, Den Bosch will still rovide massively to this latest stream, even though I did manage to find some time to go digging, because yes, I'm obsessed like that. But aren't we all? Let's tune in to verify that equation, with ton's of jazz, folk, electronics, avant garde, ambient, experimental, post punk, etc, and maybe a bunch of brand new releases ^^
Only by sucking, not by knowing,
can the subtle essence be conveyed—

No regular stream last week, as the Den Bosch Mega Record fair journey was full on. There was a little mid fair report stream with friend/supporter of the channel and digging wingman Steve Davis (check it out if you haven't, it was tons of fun!), but we're now back to our regular schedule, if there is such a thing. And indeed, since I bring back the spoils of war, I hope this stream will be off the charts in terms of record finds presented and played. But you be the judge of that, tunning in live during the stream, or whenever, underneath in the comment section. See you either places!
I have gone back in boyish wonderment
To things that I had foolishly put by . . . .
Have found an alien and unknown content
In seeing how some bits of cloud-filled sky
Are framed in bracken pools; through chuckling hours
Have watched the antic frogs, or curiously
Have numbered all the unnamed, vagrant flowers,
That fleck the unkempt meadows, lavishly.
Or where a headlong toppling stream has stayed
Its racing, lulled to quiet by the song
Bursting from out the thickleaved oaken shade,
There I have lain while hours sauntered past—
I have found peacefulness somewhere at last,
Have found a quiet needed for so long.

Great friend and supporter of the stream Steve Davis & I just spent two days in Den Bosch, the world's biggest record fair. The festivities officially opens tomorrow, Saturday, but it actually started yesterday for us!
We first attended a stealth pre-fair "party" at a hotel where a lot of dealers bring crates in the lobby, before vistiting a local private collector and record label owner. This involved a lot of drinking, and fun negotiations, and having us spend the shortest of nights, since we decided to arrive at the fair's exclusive dealer's day at 6 AM earlier this morning.
We did it, it was pain, love, fight, adrenaline, tons of emotions, and we just left the place after 11 hours of digging, battered...
So we thought we'd have a fun chat with you all, talking about the experience, and showing some of the finds.
I hope this sounds like a bit of fun, and to see you some of you then, we'aim for 10:15PM, but don't hold us to it too closely!
So if you like that, please tip your DJ of the night, it will make a real difference : ko-fi.com/stunty or paypal.me/stuntrockconfusion ^^
I'm coming off a pretty bad case of stomach bug, which derailed most of this week, but I'm back on my feet enough to do this. So this will be the second instalement of a different kind of stream I tried last year. And it was interesting enough to test it once again, especially considering next week's also going to be on holds, while I'm abroad, htere in Den Bosch, even if I may do a little improv stream thing on site ^^
I plan to mix house, techno, bass, dub, electro, post punk, disco, whatever comes through this stream of counciousness DJ set.
You can make requests, but I can't promess anything, exact same as in the club ^^
See you tonight!

Hello friends! After a long long week full of work challenges and promoting my upcoming music festival, I thought I might finally take that week off, but... You know me by now, I'd feel bad about it, especially considering next week will 100% be off, since I have a promotional assignment for the festival on Friday evening in the South of Sweden, before going to the Den bosch record fair one week later (I might do a special hunting fundraising stream during the weekend, though) . And as it turns out, I do have quite a few new releases and cool recent digs to share tonight, so even if the traditionnal announcement comes later than usual , here it is, see you in a few hours!

Et du chocolat
Du haut jusqu’en bas
Moustache de chat
Filet de foie gras.

Wow.
This will be the third time I celebrated my birthday with our little community, here. It is quite something, isn't it? I now know some of you pretty intimately, I've met some of you, sourced records thanks to you, shared some fun and emotional moments. And above all of this, music, records, that's what starts the gathering, before all the rest. And this week, I don't know if it already feels like a birthday, but kick-ass new records and charming older ones have found their way to the birthday shelves, but I'll try to go real deep into the collection, find some unheralded killer gem(s) to top it all, before a sort of break in the beginning of April, probably.
Until then, I hope I'll see many of you during the livestream, and celebrate. Cheers!
Though forty-seven long years, you say,
Have silvered o'er your head with gray,
Your friends rejoice, to-day, that you
Stand hale and hearty in your "blue."
Long for Old Glory you have stood
With truest sense of brotherhood;
Long may you live a useful life—
Noble and true in peace of strife.

Snow is back, I'm happy I didn't put winter clothes away yet. Still, I went to the record shops, and started preparation for the Den Bosch record Fair in just about a month from now. And last week's stream was a big reminder of how this little community of ours' support has been crucial for these weekly journeys. If I was doing this in a vaccum, this would be irrational, and maybe I would still do some of it anyways. But since this became more than just a fun way to share music, perspectives and ambition has changed a little, for the best, I hope. Next week will be my birthday, and I don't yet know if I will stream, so let's enjoy this week's installment, and there'll be a lot to enjoy, in quite a few directions ^^
Living is no laughing matter:
you must live with great seriousness
like a squirrel, for example—
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,
I mean living must be your whole occupation.
Living is no laughing matter:
you must take it seriously,
so much so and to such a degree
that, for example, your hands tied behind your back,
your back to the wall,
or else in a laboratory
in your white coat and safety glasses,
you can die for people—
even for people whose faces you’ve never seen,
even though you know living
is the most real, the most beautiful thing.
I mean, you must take living so seriously
that even at seventy, for example, you’ll plant olive trees—
and not for your children, either,
but because although you fear death you don’t believe it,
because living, I mean, weighs heavier.

Still digesting last week's new digs, plus a handful additional ones. I won't spoil anything yet, but all in all, The past few days have been hopeful and promissing. I do have quite a few new leads I'm working on as well, that I may hint to during this stream. We'll see, we'll have fun, and maybe compete on a bunch of cheapos ^^
This earth will grow cold,
a star among stars
and one of the smallest,
a gilded mote on blue velvet—
I mean this, our great earth.
This earth will grow cold one day,
not like a block of ice
or a dead cloud even
but like an empty walnut it will roll along
in pitch-black space . . .
You must grieve for this right now
—you have to feel this sorrow now—
for the world must be loved this much
if you’re going to say “I lived”. . .

My disposition can vastly vary, ahead of those weekly streaming. The preceding days and hours are filled with self questioning about what I will have to offer, if there is something in current affairs I want to address, and most often, a sort of uncertainty takes over when I didn't add anything new to the record shed shelves. The current low temperatures can also be a factor ^^ (the blue tits are already amazingly back, though!)
And yet, last week's installment was most satisfying, while for the first time since I started, I only had a couple of new additions to share.
This week is a whole different affair, as I don't remember ever having that many new finds, digs, acquisitions on the table. So I don't need to tell you how excited I am about this week's stream, you'll hopefully be the happy judge of that!
Short aside : Last week, I played The Conversation's OST's main theme, by David Shire, Just because I felt this needs sharing that day. Mere days later, Gene Hackman has had enough with us and seems to have decided to call it quits... Fare well, man, you had a real great and inspiring run.
In the beginning
there was the war.

and there was war.

What a rough week for the world, huh? As the state of current affairs is taking its toll on all of us, I'll try to direct this Friday's stream into a building up morale up one. I don't know how that will go exactly, and it will still be partly improvised, but I think I need this, so maybe you do too?
I don't want to take too much of your time putting out concepts and ideas out already now, so I just hope you'll turn up and we'll have some mindfull good time, around the usual axes of musical investigation.
Report on the Most Recent Survey of Morale
We noticed participation has decreased,
though whether due to layoffs or malaise
we can’t be sure. While the survey
is anonymous, if you filled the comment boxes
with These questions suck or Stop wasting
my time, we probably know who you are,
especially if you mentioned your division,
duties and job description, and even more so
if you signed your name. We’re sorry
you’re suffering, but we doubt work
caused your divorce. We’re also dismayed
by demands for better leadership.
While you’re welcome to select Somewhat
or Not at all in response to Do you find
management effective?, we’d like you
to imagine how that makes us feel.
Perhaps it was insensitive to ask
which of your coworkers are seeking
other jobs, but we really need an estimate.
If you left that question blank, it’s not
too late to pass some names along.
The news isn’t all bad. Even with
increased co-pays and deductibles,
our health plan is a hit, especially for those
with anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Although we can’t eliminate long waits
when contacting HR, you can now turn off
the music while on hold. Widespread raises
are impossible, but we’ve found funds
for better toilet paper, ice cream once a month.
In the coming weeks, a new task force
will form to brainstorm future questionnaires
as well as cost-effective ways to ease—
if not eradicate—your pain. (Though
we’re aware of some survey fatigue,
this instrument was too expensive
not to use.) The next window for feedback
opens soon. We’ll keep asking
what you think until your answers change.

I tend to put a lot of heart in those streams, and today is supposed to be all abut that very specific organ. As my mum recently suffered a heart attack and had to be updated with a pacemaker, the specifics of the heart's function have recently been on my mind, triggering an unexpected thought process. I don't know how that will translate in this stream and further, but I'm sure the most recent picks will find a way to make sense out of it, through sheer empathy towards those thoughts
The Ear is an Organ Made for Love
It was the language that left us first.
The Great Migration of words. When people
spoke they punched each other in the mouth.
There was no vocabulary for love. Women
became masculine and could no longer give
birth to warmth or a simple caress with their
lips. Tongues were overweight from profanity
and the taste of nastiness. It settled over cities
like fog smothering everything in sight. My
ears begged for camouflage and the chance
to go to war. Everywhere was the decay of
how we sound. Someone said it reminded
them of the time Sonny Rollins disappeared.
People spread stories of how the air would
never be the same or forgive. It was the end
of civilization and nowhere could one hear
the first notes of A Love Supreme. It was as
if John Coltrane had never been born.

As I'm cureently right in the middle of the process of curating and booking the next edition of the Tumult Music Festival (instagram.com/tumult.kultur), it strikes me that more than some of what I'm doing here is en extension of the same project. And this week is a testimony to this, as along the "regular" new finds and finds of new, the contacts with the artists obviously reveal upcoming or older releases, while we chat. So I dare predict this stream is going to be pretty rewarding, if I might say so, with uncanny versatility, both in cheap underlooked releases, and brand new ones. See you this Friday!
next to her bed her instrument sleeps
covered for the night like a bird in a cage
night passes . . . . . . the light returns
she pulls the cover away
dust motes dance in the air
she tunes her loom
strums the white parallel lines
with a flick of her wrist
each string must vibrate
layers of notes grow upward
tamp tamp tamp tamp
she listens for the right pitch
inserts the percussion fork into
the parallel lines that lead upward
she pulls down mountains, stars, lightning, storm patterns
tamp tamp tamp tamp
she is mythic soloist, storyteller, mathematician
her concert transforms us
we soften like lambskin

A week of stillness, self reflection, and oblivion. And yet, emerged a few new records, including my very first councious VG condition purchase. I have a hard rule of never purchasing anything less than VG+ in graded condition, but I found a case that made me bend the rule, and it wasn't even cheap. But I'm sure there'll be other less click baitish reasons to tune in, see you tonight!
Without commas in her gaze,
the little girl dribbles colons with each breath
and swears an exclamation mark
is a lollipop:
“Is growing up for real or make-believe?”
Dot dot dot, I gasped.
A question mark is a fisherman’s hook.
I’d taken the bait of uncertainty,
when she offered me as consolation,

Isn't it incredible how things can change in the span of a week? From the intimate to the global, that 4th week of January 2025 presents us with quite a few new challenges for the forseeable future, with an additionnal little "gift" from life, and a failing Roman heart. This means time flew by at a disturbing accelerated pace - I feel we're still on Tuesday, barely even so. And yet, new musical questions and quests manifested themselves, offering their welcomed share of potential, which will be shared in the usual manner, just maybe slightly shorter so than usual. Live to see, listen to live.
She tests the flesh with knobbed fingers
short nails that don’t prick the skin
underneath like fat, giving slightly
Skin speckled like a lizard Green
bombed with yellow, orange with
red pink at the head
Blade as long as her pinky The edge
smooth grey The handle wood with
flat gold eyes
She dives the blade in from
the head to the bottom
Light orange water
And again she enters Skinning
with swift long strokes till the
meaty petals curl
She balances a block of flesh
on the flat of the blade slides
it between her lips
Her teeth slick the furry heart
tease the flesh and water
from the promise of more
She sucks the blade dips her fingers into
her mouth Looks at Grandpa with flat
copper eyes.
Grandpa tells me Don’t
run with the scissors it’ll
stab your leg
Grandpa warns me Don’t
lick the yogurt tinfoil it’ll
slice your tongue
Grandpa scolds me Don’t
lean back on two legs the
chair’ll fall.
I pick up the knife and eat like Grandma.

Where is time going?? This is my current state of mind, as all the current new musical rabbit holes I'm knee deep in are taking a toll on everything. And yet, this week's stream will provide tons of new paths, both from the past and from today, hopefully all timeless. A few heavy quests came to a happy end, with a lot of Jazz, Ethnomusicology, and Outsider/avant garde time capsules, both on the cheap, and the very much less so. I'm genuinely pre-stoked about this one, so I hope we will be a party ^^
Edit : So this turned out to be a sort of stealth David Lynch homage, in spirit, as nothing was prepared that way, it's a dark zeitgeist. And we had a little visit from "Bob", at the very end...
I’ve been here a long time
working this hunk of brass,
& knew Mingus in the days
when he’d strike a righteous
pose up on the bandstand
& bring down the house,
talking jive & rave, jabbing
below the belt, where it hurts.
Can you imagine him up there
today, playing a new version
of “Fables of Faubus,” big
as thunder at dawn rocking
hundred-year-old hanging trees
out of memory, can you dig?

Still early in the year, still in the holidays aftermath, so this stream will probably mostly be about the shelves. Last week's attendance and support really gave me energy, when I need it the most, as the cold settles here in my summer studio and its crappy isolation. Yes, my fingers and feet might turn blue, but we'll find the way. If I still have no idea what 2025's digging will be like, I nevertheless already had some unbelievable and unexpected finds, that I now need to budget and get over here, so we're off to a good start, if everything pans out. So until then, the past will be investigated, rejoiced and discussed, be here!
His fingers wake, and flutter up the bed.
His eyes come open with a pull of will,
Helped by the yellow may-flowers by his head.
A blind-cord drawls across the window-sill . . .
How smooth the floor of the ward is! what a rug!
And who’s that talking, somewhere out of sight?
Why are they laughing? What’s inside that jug?
“Nurse! Doctor!” “Yes; all right, all right.”
But sudden dusk bewilders all the air—
There seems no time to want a drink of water.
Nurse looks so far way. And everywhere
Music and roses burnt through crimson slaughter.
Cold; cold; he’s cold; and yet so hot:
And there’s no light to see the voices by—
No time to dream, and ask—he knows not what.

As I hinted at last week, I thought I'd take the week off, and obviously, I haven't gotten much new records since then. But... well... I still got a couple and was I really to miss the first week of the year? The shelves can always provide plenty! So I have no idea where this will take us tonight, but the day is young. I only know that jazz, library, ethno, disco and avant garde are in the cards, big surprise there! Hope to see you all then!
I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra. Boning-up in
the ol' West i bide my time. You should see
me pick off these tin cans whippersnappers. I
write the motown long plays for the comeback of
Osiris. Make them up when stars stare at sleeping
steer out here near the campfire. Women arrive
on the backs of goats and throw themselves on
my Bowie.
I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra. Lord of the lash,

the dirty boogie with scorpions. I make the bulls

This christmas season has so far been pretty strange for me.
I'm still going through the many suggestions of last week, and preparing a massive mailing, so bear with me. But no snow over here, a sort of amorpheous mood, a stillnes, as if approaching 2025 was giving me an unfamiliar gut feeling...
I'm not sure what the stream will be like tonight, what directions will present themselves. Darkness, healing, oblivion, magic, hedonism? You're welcome to join a potentially more emotional mix than usual, and we'll see how long I last.
And I have no idea where I was going with that thumbnail!
The first deer had large teeth and no horns and
were not afraid.
The first deer did not have enough fear
for the men who needed them
to survive.
A woman decided to let the men eat
a grandmother decided her deer shall have horns
and be afraid
someone’s mother decided the men shall eat
and shall be feared.
A man thought wolves should be used
to cull the herd.
And we who had been catching water
dripping through stone
in the homes we dug
out of the earth
we licked our long teeth clean
and set to work.

Is this really the third Christmas stream we're having on this channel?! This past year was as confusing as usual, within our regular investigations of the unheralded treasures of music on wax being one of the few saving graces of a increasingly volatile world to our mental health. The new shelves hdid their job, with a massive influx of new and old finds and rabbit holes, we all connected even more, and today will be a celebration of that : Fun will again be had, while I try to not freeze to death from frem very real winter season, as there will be a few games and X-mas giveaways to you, confused people, vinyl records of my choice, according to the personnal taste of the winners. All this is to thank you for giving me the continuous strength and supportto do these weekly logic defying islets, and to add some high level confusion to your record collections and more (I've even put together a little something for all the ko-fi backers of the channel ^^). So let's have this early X-Mas celebration together, it'll be worth it considering the incredible music I also got just in the past week ^^
Breezes blowin’ middlin’ brisk,
Snow-flakes thro’ the air a-whisk,
Fallin’ kind o’ soft an’ light,
Not enough to make things white,
But jest sorter siftin’ down
So ’s to cover up the brown
Of the dark world’s rugged ways
’N’ make things look like holidays.
Not smoothed over, but jest specked,
Sorter strainin’ fur effect,
An’ not quite a-gittin’ through
What it started in to do.

Getting closer to Christmas - I'll try to do something special for that - and this past week was again filled with gifts of all trade, including a couple of heavy grails that I would never have believed l would find this year 365 days ago, and I'm so excited to be able to share and discuss those tonight, but no more than some of the brand new releases I also gathered this week. Again, we should cover a lot of bases, and you should find quite a few Santa wishes for yourself. Not much more to say, it was a good week here, and I hope the stream will just bring the butter to the spinach, as we weirdly say in France. Oh, and this episode is dedicated to the great and late Martial Solal, and the people of Syria.
After the leaves have fallen, we return
To a plain sense of things. It is as if
We had come to an end of the imagination,
Inanimate in an inert savoir.
It is difficult even to choose the adjective
For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
The great structure has become a minor house.
No turban walks across the lessened floors.

Busy week at SEF (the Stunty Expeditionary Force), with a pretty unusual find, a band /record that totally floored me, that I had completely overlooked, which I feel I should not have! That opened up a pretty interesting new rabbit hole - even if I feel I started with their most titillating offering - that made me think about music perception in a somewhat new way.
To sum it up, I am excited, and as Den Bosch is now definitly in the rear mirror, this week's finds confirm we're not ging to fall asleep, even if the stream might be starting late for some, and the nights only are getting longer.
Sometimes I wish I didn't think in words
and that instead for each thought I thought I drew upon an image,
and that I was able to organize each image in a linear way that would be like sort of like reading
and that instead of trying to describe the edges around something
I could just think the color around the edges of the image to be darker,
that the detail on the image could become more or less detailed depending
on how much clarity I believe I needed to disclose at the time
For instance, instead of saying love, I could just think watermelon
I could just think of a watermelon cut in half, lying open on a picnic table
The inside would be just as moist as it was pink
I could picture cutting up pieces and giving them out to my friends.
It wouldn't have to be sunny
It wouldn't have to be anything else then just that
It would really simplify my walk home at night,
where every thought I think is some contrived line I repeat over and over to myself
Words are always just replaced with new ones
The pictures would never need to know otherwise

I lost my home keys 10 days ago or so, first time since I was a teen. What a weird feeling, as your home is a reflection of yourself, I would normaly be very anxious about it, but somehow, I've decided that everything will turn out just fine, unlike my final quest for Hermann Nitsch, hahaha.
Last week's stream provided plenty of directions, and this week will get us no less lost in an abundance of choices. So many new threads have opened up of late, I might want to revisit some absolute faves I don't get enough opportunity to discuss, to somewhat ground this affair.
But the cold will probably have the most decisive influence on the selection, unless you people provide the best of suggestions!
The calabash wherein she served my food,
Was smooth and polished as sandalwood:
Fish, as white as the foam of the sea,
Peppered, and golden fried for me.
She brought palm wine that carelessly slips
From the sleeping palm tree’s honeyed lips.
But who can guess, or even surmise
The countless things she served with her eyes?

So, I owe everyone who turned up last week an appology. WHat should have been one of my most exciting streams turned out to be something the state of Texas seem averse to. This really bummed me out, as it was such a tiny little silly thing that prevented the stream to be held normaly.
The silver lining is that this week's real return should be even stronger, considering one more week added even more unusal flavors to the DJ bag. I will need it, since we entered that time of the year whe you might see fogging from the mouth, dreading the snow outside the studio. But we all die someday, don't we? Again, I can't outline how great the Den Bosch record fair was, and how happy I am with the hunt, lots of jazz, avant garde, post punk, global, etc, and the wonderfull meetings...
So I hope to see most of you this Friday, before resuming to your regular schedule, filled with new musical perspectives.
Builder, in building the little house,
In every way you may please yourself;
But please please me in the kitchen chimney:
Don't build me a chimney upon a shelf.
However far you must go for bricks,
Whatever they cost a-piece or a pound,
But me enough for a full-length chimney,
And build the chimney clear from the ground.
It's not that I'm greatly afraid of fire,
But I never heard of a house that throve
(And I know of one that didn't thrive)
Where the chimney started above the stove.
And I dread the ominous stain of tar
That there always is on the papered walls,
And the smell of fire drowned in rain
That there always is when the chimney's false.
A shelf's for a clock or vase or picture,
But I don't see why it should have to bear
A chimney that only would serve to remind me
Of castles I used to build in air.

EDIT : Due to a technical difficulty, the streamunfortunately had to be shortened, and I appology for the sound quality. Next Friday should find the issue fixed and the planned selection even improved.
Yes, you read correctly, Saturday, not Friday, sorry about that. Off to see Gong on Friday, so it had to be done! That being said, I'm pretty confident this week's selection will make up for this slight break of habbits. Yes, I broke my body in the Netherlands, 4 days of record digging, with awesome people (shoutout to Steve Davis, Romuald, Michael, Thomas, Nadine, Aurélien, Claude, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and all of you whom I got to meet - where were you Marcella?!). I can't outline how great that was, and how happy I am with the hunt, lots of jazz, avant garde, post punk, global, etc...
So I hope to see most of you this Saturday, before resuming ton the regular schedule.
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul?
And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?

Last week's two streams were amazing, and I'll have a lot of people to thank. I tried something a little different, and people seemed to get into it. But no time for sleeping, we're back at it for one final episode before the Den Bosch mega record fair next Friday, where I will hopefully find the missing links and other rare species of records. So, yes, we'll miss each other next Friday (or will we?), which won't prevent this installment from featuring choice new finds and the usual kind of versatile music from the shelves, the mandatory weekly challenge. Cheers!

What a good week! In a year full of challenges, those special time capsules of serenity are to be cherished, especially when they come with such a cool soundtrack as this week's. Not a crazy amount of new finds and arrivals, but I nevertheless feel infused with musical joy, partly thanks to a little grail of mine finally landing my turntable. I guess there also is a lot of excitment building up for the world's biggest record fair in the Netherlands, in a mere two weeks ^^ I hope my budget will be competitive against frustration, and stay tuned for an upcoming little stream meant to help steer the adventure in the right direction ^^
Until then, we have a lot to enjoy with this one!
Three of us afloat in the meadow by the swing,
Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea.
Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring,
And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea.
Where shall we adventure, to-day that we’re afloat,
Wary of the weather and steering by a star?
Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat,
To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar?
Hi! but here’s a squadron a-rowing on the sea—
Cattle on the meadow a-charging with a roar!
Quick, and we’ll escape them, they’re as mad as they can be,
The wicket is the harbour and the garden is the shore.

I'm going to try to do this straight m youtube this Friday, to test if quality is different. The quality of the music will be the same, as good or as bad as usual, depending on your mileage. Some cool new records this week, probably a few deep journeys outside the the ole western world. And hopefully a bunch of surprises for me as well. I guess I'll do the talking during the stream ^^
It's lonely in the country I remember.
The babble of our children fills my ears,
And on our hearth I stare the perished ember
To flames that show all starry thro' my tears.
It's dark about the country I remember.
There are the mountains where I lived. The path
Is slushed with cattle-tracks and fallen timber,
The stumps are twisted by the tempests' wrath.
But that I knew these places are my own,
I'd ask how came such wretchedness to cumber
The earth, and I to people it alone.

I thought we had a good stream last week. and yet, the world seems even shittier and dangerous. Obviously, I don't expect any of this we're having here to impact the affairs of the world in any noticeable fashion. But I do hope we can all feel a little better, more courageous, more keen to question the questionable and the status quo. I have no metrics to evaluate any of this, and I do feel the weight of the world, of people, heavier than usual. And yet, I do have a bunch of exceptional new finds to share, and compliment the ever providing shelves. Hyperbole? Self-therapy? You be the judge of that, but I'm confident you'll agree the wolrd of music once again takes us by surprise.
I hope you are all doing as fine as you can, and that we'll do even a little better for 2-3 hours.
The devil’s in my neck.
Everything I hear is overviolined,
even the wind, even the wind.
It’s like walking in nurdles up to my chest,
squeaky and slow.
It’s spring, the blooming branches
nearly hide the many dead ones.
A squirrel, digging for a nut, upends my frail
tomato plant and fails
to replant it, even though he has the tools.
I find this kind of squirrely oblivion everywhere.
I was a man filled to the top
of my spine, filled to the lump
on the back of my head, with hope.
Then I read a few thousand history books.
Little, and nothing, perturbs me now.
Even the beheadings, even the giant meat hooks
in the sky, more frequent each day,
bother me not
a tittle, not a jot.

If you enjoyed this, maybe even found ideas of records to get, and want to tip your DJ & support the channel to do more of the same and better, you can do so here, it really makes a difference : ko-fi.com/stunty or paypal.me/stuntrockconfusion
One of these weeks when everything feels pointless and infuriating. How can we even care about music and records? All of this happening far and close to us makes me feel quite desperate, and angry, and I'm probably not alone. Can my little friday stream bring any comfort, or is it just as pointless as anything right now? What do you do when you feel helpless? This is not just a rhetorical question, but outside of your valued answers, having studied and worked in politics, I've long realized that the times of telling people what and how to think are long over, Brian Eno didn't invent anything with his oblique strategies. So this Friday, I'll try to implement my own brand of oblique strategies, and we'll see how it goes, how we can find courage to say out loud what the powers that be do not want to hear, we'll resort once again to art, good ole art, the only political tool accessible to the powerless. Exposing ourselves to new points of views, even questioning those, that's the begining of freedom.
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
