The duo of Josh and Jesse have real, university-type musical educations, met while playing brass in ska bands, and yet somehow arrived at playing this music, that which would peel the paint off Lucifer's '71 glossy-black Dodge Charger. Though the on-air session happened in late August, and the archive of the full show has been up since that time, I held back posting these cleanly cut mp3s in the hopes of making an impression, one separate from the band's on-air appearance—that this blissed-out, Krautrock-flavored, spine-shuddering set amounts to no less than the Irrlicht of contemporary noise/electronics. A horrid dungeon, no question, but also one where hope has not quite died, and pretty things occasionally flutter by the window bars.

A nautical theme, perhaps? Leviathan Rising. To view a short video excerpt from the Grasshopper WFMU session, see this entry on the My Castle of Quiet blog.
Grasshopper
plan to take on Fabio Frizzi's Zombie Theme (the opening music I
currently use on the show), and eventually execute a live score to the
entire Lucio Fulci Zombie film. Got a big screen? Can we do it at your place? I'll "curate" with pride, whatever that might en(r)tail. Seriously.
