Might as well try this out...

Rather than going to the actual archive and fussing, I've just taken the previous links and modified them with the appropriate calendrical data - so this should get you mp3s of the last 5 shows, if they're still up. I'd start from the top, most recent shows, if I were you. I'll perform a test shortly...

THANKYOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

Last Week This Week (copiously illustrated!)

Here are links to the September 27th edition of the Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour: Hour 1 and Hour 2. At least I think they're the 27th. Porter said "last week's show" so I'm assuming. Perhaps this diagram will help.

1. Abasiophilia: attraction to leg braces or other orthopedic appliances
2. Harpaxophilia: sexual excitement from being a robbery victim might prevent a robbery.
3. Vorarephilia: sexual attraction to being eaten whole
4. Hobophilia: sexual fantasies about hobos
5. Tripsolagnia: arousal from having your hair shampooed by someone else
6. Axillism: desire to have sex in the armpit
7. Symphorophilia: sexual arousal from witnessing accidents
8. Agalmatophilia: sexual attractions to mannequins or statues
9. Chelonaphilia: you like turtles
10. Apotemnophilia: arousal from the idea of amputating a healthy limb
11. Formicophilia: desire to have insects crawl on genitalia

The Missing Hyperlink, Flautist...

Clutching a bone between her knees! The LA feed for today's special Weekend edition show was such a scorcher that I had to upload an edited version of it to share with the People. That is Dr. Pityface stealing the halo of The Missing Hyperlink, making her debut on the Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour. Here's the not missing hyperlink, it's about a 35 minute mp3 file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8BAFRHT8. This is Really Happening.

Simultaniety Unravelled! New RH Solo LP!

Tonight, May 28, 2011, as part of the SOUNDS LIKE...AUDIO ART FESTIVAL, Mannlicher Carcano will be performing a special 1 hour version of the Radio Hour from the AKA Gallery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

aka gallery
424 20th St. W.
Saskatoon, SK
May 27- 28, 2011

2011 will mark the beginning of an annual juried audio art festival hosted by AKA. Sounds Like… aims to bring together artists from across the country and beyond to share their work and processes. The festival's title references both simile and charades, speaking to the performative and interdisciplinary aspects of the work to be examined here. Along those lines, the inaugural year of the festival will examine various ways in which the movement and actions of a performer relate to the auditory content.

Joshua Fraser - Calgary, AB
Lief Hall, - Vancouver, BC
Constantine Katsiris - Vancouver, BC
Alain Lefebvre – Montreal, QC
Ellen Moffat and Jeff Morton – Saskatoon and Regina, SK
Jeff Morton – Regina, SK
Porter Hall – St. John’s, NL
Erin Sexton – Montreal, QC
VYXSYMS (Jon Vaughn, Will Kaufhold, Mehta Youngs)– Saskatoon, SK

The Los Angeles portion will be broadcast from the opening of Tel/Art/Phone a group show at the Beacon Arts Building based on the communication breakdown party game Telephone, to which Mannlicher contributed a regrooved LP in a sleeve by hack artist Doug Harvey.

BEACON ARTS BUILDING
808 N. La Brea Ave.
Inglewood, CA


This event also serves as the release party for the new Really Happening solo double CD set (5th in a projected series of 10, in this case featuring Kenneth Friendliness and George Garrison) "This is Really Happening Vol 5: TQBFJOaLD" which is available for free download here.

It's a Party in Your Ear!

The archived transcription of Mannlicher Carcano's globe-spanning ear-party for NAISA's 2011 commemoration of Art's Birthday is available FOR A LIMITED TIME as a downloadable mp3 file here. Over 125 participants! Don't miss this one, folks - sure to be a collector's item. Once the internet's down.

Cloudknitter mando-bell solo

New Mannlicher Carcano adjunct member Cloudknitter braved the torrential rainstorms currently engulfing the City of Angels to record a Saturday session in the audio dungeon, simultaneously recording the performance for his own radio art program in Belgium. I'll get those mp3s encoded and uploaded as swift as I am able, but in the meantime, check out his website for more info on his show and other remarkable projects.

Update: File is now available for DL here. The excellent jam is sandwiched between two interview segments, the more interesting of which is the beginning segment in which Cloudknitter discusses his artwork and radio show. It will be available for a couple of weeks only, so grab it now.

New Los Angeles segment/Really Happening Solo CD

The LA elements of the weekly broadcast have been prerecorded for the last few weeks, including a 2-hour solo performance this last Saturday by Really Happening containing elements of "Dr Earl A Goldsmith Tells Your Daughter About Sex" which is available for free download for a limited time split into 2 separate files: Part 1: "Not the Cubbyhole!(TM)" and Part 2: The Words are Used.

The complete performance will constitute This is Really Happening Vol 2, which will be a two-CDR set, also available from Pleonasm & Redacted, and the second in a planned 10-volume Retrospective.

Pleonasm partnering with Free Music Archive in Synergistic Triumph!

Just an update that free online record label Pleonasm Music has been posting its wares on the prestigious Free Music Archive, including their slightly garbled (but more than complete) version of Crawl to Safety with Mannlicher Carcano, Solo tour de force This is Really Happening Volume 1, and occasional collaborator Nic Waterman's histrionic tirade My Majority. Longtime listeners will already have all these loaded on their portable personal stereo music players, but even first time callers will find that the great thing about the new format is that you can sample any track from the dozens of other sonic innovators on Pleonasm's roster before committing to a full download. Hooray!

New Time, New Station, Recent Pix!

OK, No time for chitchat. The Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour has moved to a new timeslot for the first time in 12 years! Listeners and participants may now tune/skype in on Tuesday nights from 11:00 PM till 1:00 AM Newfoundland time (9:30 pm to 11:30 pm EST; 6:30 - 8:30 Pacific) at CHMR (That's MCRH spelled backwards! Mere coincidence?) 93.5 FM, campus and community radio in St. John's Newfoundland. Streaming online at http://mp3srv.munsu.mun.ca/hi.pls

The Trent Radio iteration Dog Bites Mannlicher will move operations to coincide, and it looks like CFRU will be doing likewise.

As you can see, we have finally recovered our 2-hour format, and the show closes the broadcast day in NFLD, so it may go on from there even! The first broadcast is archived online in two separate files here and here.

Satan Temporarily Welcomes Mannlicher Carcano to His Bosom

Our most recent art gallery gig has turned into a residency of sorts, it seems! After our performance on the evening of August 20th at Human Resources, artist Gustavo Hererra was so taken by the manner in which Mannlicher's debris -- multiple turntables, a bin of weird old records, a battered trumpet and toy piano, a dismantled portable 8-Track player and tape selection, a two-stringed child's electric guitar and amp, etc -- blended in with his installation The Birth of Satan, he invited us to leave our equipment in place, and perform the radio show from that locale for the duration of the exhibit's run!

Although the logistics have proven tricky -- the gallery has no land line for a telephone link, and with Porter's recent relocation to St. John's NFLD the tension is becoming less and less palpable -- the LA performances have been righteous and scintillating. The actual gig on the 20th added a dozen or so new collaborators to our constantly expanding roster, bringing the total to 665 - and wherever 665 are gathered in His name.... Our most recently recruited regular was christened "Kenneth Friendliness" and rocked the electric Pepperoncini jar, which he has done for each subsequent radio show as well.

This most recent Saturday Christ's Cumming II also brought in a modified 3-gallon plastic diddly-bow, Herr Schurdt graced us with the presence of his SKYPE-capable laptop (though unfortunately Porter couldn't get into the new radio station) and Buddy Holy, Barney Panicker, and The Jock all arrived five minutes after the show ended. I'll try and upload images of all this, but I left my camera, along with my glasses, both audio recorders (the one I dropped in the toilet at the Museum of Jurassic Technology last year was miraculously resurrected last week! So there's like a QUAD version of the most recent performance - a humdinger - in their collective memory) a fancy USB mic, and a bunch of other valuable electronics in a canvas sack in the basement of a nearby gallery. I'm going to retrieve it today - hope everything's still there! In the meantime, please enjoy these recently rediscovered images from our last North American Tour.

Live at Human Resources

In conjunction with Gustavo Herrera's Birth of Satan exhibition, Human Resources presents a performance of Ghost Assisted Drawings as performed by Christian Cummings and Michael Decker, and Mannlicher Carcano's record release for This Is Really Happening Volume 1 on Pleonasm Music. The evening starts at 9pm, and admission is Free! It is rumored that Gustavo Herrera will be elating us with some of his prosaic fineries...

Awakening from the Nightmare of History to Find I Have Gum in My Hair

Well, that didn't work out so hot! I plugged in the wrong voltage adaptor and the damn thing blew apart like a land mine! There was ketchup everywhere! Seriously, I was concussed by the impact of the main body of the appliance (the bun section) up against my left temple and was out for some time. When I awoke, a gentle Doctor asked me "What is that Optigan thing? What the FUCK is that?" to which I replied "Please give me something for the pain."

And Gogo was there, and you... and you... and? Porter Hall was in Newfoundland, looking into real estate investment opportunities. And Crawl to Safety is finally out as a free download from www.pleonasmmusic.org and L'il Gogo has an album out on Pleonasm and Redacted Records, split between the two sites but a free download nonetheless.

And on July 9th - for one night only - a real rain is going to wash the scum from the streets... and right into PØST Gallery (1904 East 7th Place Los Angeles, CA 90021) for Mannlicher Carcano-Plex Mach 01 - a multimedia expansion of the Mannlicher Carcano template, including sound, performance, didactic elements, projections, and all manner of art objects! More data to follow.

There are too many old shows to log - the new one it to your right - go to the CFRU archive at http://www.cfru.ca/altarchive.php and root around for other recent episodes. Next week is Porter's final show in Guelph as host! Let's make it a doozy!

And COURTESY FLUSH VOLUME ONE is SOLD OUT, thankyou all (and please stop pestering us to burn more copies!) - the extra income earned will allow us to retire early, as soon as our BP stock dividends kick in. Ka-SPLOOH! Stay tuned for CF Vol 2.

May 15th? Wait a second.. the Nurse told me it was June 17th... am I awake or am I dreaming?

and last Saturday's show, December 12th.

I've been downloading our overflow into the PD Plate, and will put the edited sections up on a file share site soon.

PS: Jon Leidecker's third VARIATIONS podcast contains rare work by two of Mannlicher's most belovedly under-recognized forebears, Ruth Anderson and Bernard Parmagiani, as well as our spiritual uncle Glenn Gould.

New Dimensions in Spelling!

"My article on the LoK8Tr project took me to Guelph, Ont., last Saturday and live on the radio. I met Porter Hall, the host of the Mannlicher Carcano Radio Hour, at the University of Guleph campus radio station. He arrived just after 3 p.m., a few minutes after the scheduled start time for his weekly show on CFRU. As the automated public-service announcements, commercials and eventually the show’s intro were being broadcast, Porter Hall hooked up a sound processor and unload his backpack. The bag held a bunch of cassettes, including a Musicworks compilation (No. 28); a Buddy Greene record called Praise Harmonica (”sappy Christian tunes,” Porter said); ukulele player Tiny Tim’s 2nd Album; CDs, some with spoken samples that Porter had compiled; and a collection of instruments, such as an electronic toy piano (Piano Fun!), a trumpet mouthpiece on a 1/4″ piece of PVC pipe, a McDonald’s Happy-Meal prize that went “boing” and other hose-y bits. There was an electric toothbrush in that bag, but Porter didn’t bring it out for the show.
“My bag of tricks changes over time,” Porter Hall said."

Help Us Reach Our Gaols! I Mean Avoid!

Sorry for the lengthy pause, but things have been hectic. After last week's show, I picked up the mail and found a notice that a towing company was planning to sell our 93 Ford Exploder (acquired from an occasional MC participant) if we didn't come get it! It had been impounded 10 days earlier. We had left it in another occasional MC participant's yard but she had moved it onto the street without telling us, and I guess didn't notice that it got towed away? $640 to spring the motherfucker! Please, please send your pledges and donations today to Really Happening Credit Card Bailout, 1334 N Benton Way, LA 90026. And thanks for listening.

And if you're really hardcore, we spilled over into the first 15 minutes of Proper Dub Plate, but you'll have to DL the whole hour, unless I get my shit together and upload an edit, but don't hold your breath.

Mannlicher's Cannon-ization and the Sirenity Prayer

Here's the first show of September, featuring Merry Hell laying down the rhubarb as pertaining to the B of the V and the Mystery of CB. 10-4 there, WT-Arthur-F! Also on board Herr Schurdt and Greasy Lightning. Looks like we got ourselves a Conrad.

And last week's program, on which your blogmaster RH did not appear, so it is of interest only to completists. Which you must all become if you are ever to truly meld with the Mannlicher Car-consciousness. As William Conrad has, from BEYOND THE GRAVE!

Harry Ball Delivers the Content

After we fixed the gestetner and convinced Harry Ball to join us on the Electric Goosebum, we produced the RH end of the show with the following: Looped MC (ca 1990) sample on the Casio SK-10; Radio Flash Fudd cassette; 2 string First Act toy guitar, Casio SK-10 organ setting and clarinet setting; Herr Schurdt on iPhone samples and police scanner and Mannlicher Carcano's October 2008 appearance on Let's Paint TV!

The Ballad of Indian Ned

Just trying out this embedded streaming audio thingy. If it works, this should be The Ballad of Indian Ned, the single from Crawl to Safety... with Mannlicher Carcano, featuring The Jock on vocals.

This Day in Improvised Audio Collage

Sound generation from RH's audio dungeon Aug 15th 2009: Casio SK-10 with looped sample of practice chanter; ultra rare RH solo 8-track noise tape 'Blossom' manipulated on modified 8-track player; cassette of unreleased 1990? MC performance 'Utterly Utterly MC', Casio SK-10 preprogrammed rhythm, altered; 2-stringed 'First Act' toy electric guitar; manipulated 8 track Gangbusters "Counterfeiters" old time radio show (Dec 1949), re-fed CFRU stream; Casio SK-10 default organ sound.

Gogo in Winnipeg, Porter jamming on a lawn with a dozen people in Nova Scotia (via SKYPE); Ken Cheesy OMIGOD! Another great show.
