- A new format for the podcast: a live conversation between Craig Higdon and Josh Lawrence (aka JJ Sonick). Harris the lonely astronaut won’t be DJing anymore, but we’ll be hearing more from him in the future, in a different medium.

- Song request fulfilled for Kai Balbin from Orange County, California. She asked for a song called ‘Diwata’ (a Filipino word for ‘goddess’ or ‘fairy’) that would sound like “maybe sigur ros meet radiohead meet the album leaf/roots of orchis”. Request fulfilled by by JJ Sonick.
- Song request fulfilled for Steve Dobkins from Fort Worth, Texas — ‘Dragging My Rope Through the Cow Pasture‘ by The New Old Men. Steve said we could ‘feel free to improvise’, and we couldn’t resist countryin’ it up. We did screw up the verb conjugation, though, as Steve originally requested ‘I drug my rope through the cow pasture.’ Hope you still like it despite our screw up, Steve!

We start with ‘Younger’ by The New Old Men, a sketch of two old friends sitting together on a train, surrounded by shimmering ambiances.
Next is the charming rustic calm of the almost entirely acoustic instrumental ‘Cansada’ by Kitchen Sink. You can also watch the video on YouTube.
This is followed by the epic rock of ‘The Sword and the Laser’ by The Clive Royal Project and The New Old Men. Clive Royal, inspired by the online science fiction and fantasy bookclub Sword and Laser, wrote his Sword and Laser song and then basically open-sourced it on his website – inviting others to download it, remix it, and add to it. So The New Old Men did just that, adding guitar, drum loops, and keyboards around Clive’s vocals to create their own version of this mini-epic.
Next is a solo piece by Karl Eifrig called ‘The Evening Bite’, an ambient instrumental that shifts through various beguiling sounds. Karl is also known as ‘Eddie P.’, the collaborator with J.J. Sonick in the bands The New Old Men and Kitchen Sink.
Then we stomp along with ‘Fine as Wine’ by the lo-fi indie rock band Pookie.
‘She Brings the Rain’ by Giligadi off the Fissures in the Faithful album follows – a cover of the mellow, jazzy song of the same title by the legendary krautrock band Can.
Then we pause for a News report from SuBBrilliant News, covering Iranian protesters interaction with Twitter, the United States use of torture (against metaphors), and more.
Next we hear the fiery instrumental ‘Holes in Your Paper Stomach’ off the album The Noise Under the Eyelid by The Cat’s Orchestra, which is the project of Ukrainian composer/performer Nicolay Sirov.
Then we hear the grooving intergalactic improv of Avjit in their saxophone-trombone-bass instrumental ‘Solar Sail’.
And we finish with the ambient instrumental ‘The Bowls’ which finds Charlie Naked exploring a variety of resonant sounds made with Tibetan singing bowls.
Hope you enjoyed podcast number five, and see you next month!
Karl Eifrig
June 29, 2009
Karl Eifrig lives in Chicago, IL where he plays in the bands Lynyrd’s Innards and Mexican Cheerleader when he’s not inventing new ways to be punk. He also collaborates, under the name Eddie P., with J.J. Sonick (Josh Lawrence) in the Mozomedia bands The New Old Men and Kitchen Sink, and also played with that jerk Josh and the mysterious Madame Maenad in the early ’90’s band Pookie.
You can catch new stuff by Karl, solo or in the above bands, often on our weekly Two Song Shot Podcast.
Sample Songs
Jessica Christian from Virginia requested a song titled either “Dress Down Heroes” or “Heroes in Jeans” that would encourage faculty and staff at the school she works at to participate in “dress down” weeks. Staff can contribute $10 and get to dress casual for the week, and the money goes to Relay for Life, a cancer research charity. To craft this epic ballad, Karl enlisted Ryan Murphy on drums, Grant Sutton on bass, Sean Shipley on lead guitar and Josh Lawrence on brass keyboards/lyric tweaking.

Panchitah from LA, California submitted a custom song request for ‘a fun song to make me smile while I’m all borked and stuff. You know, “Dont worry be happy” style. Also, about how forgetful I am’. Karl says: ‘I may have missed the mark a little bit as far as the actual request goes, but I think I acheived a sort of Bobby-McFerrin-sings-Tom-Cruise’s-opinions-on-the-pharmaceutical-industry vibe, and hope this helps the executive producer feel less borked in general.’

MOZOMEDIA MUSIC PODCAST – Ep 4
May 27, 2009

First we hear ‘Never Get Clean’ by J.J. Sonick, an indie rock confessional with just a pinch of gospel in the chorus.
Next up is ‘The Suffocating Rubber Clown Suit of Negativity’ by G:Nome – piano and ambient atmospherics surrounding samples of David Lynch talking about his experiences with transcendental meditation.
Then we hear ‘I’m Going Shopping’, a rocking and absurd taunt made by The New Old Men.
This is followed by ‘Heat Alpert’, an appropriately toe-tapping Herb Alpert-esque instrumental by J.J. Sonick, for the skit Heat by the comedy group Come On, Scientists!.
Next is the smoldering, post-coital, off-kilter acoustic indie pop of ‘Wreckage of the Hudson’ by White Mahatma.
Then we hear the slightly psychedelicized gypsy instrumental ‘A Trip to Romany’, complete with rainstorm sounds, from The High Country Low Lifes.
SuBBrilliant News reports on GM’s hybrid car with horse and more.
The Food and Drug Administration Orchestra gives us an important lesson in the acoustic ditty ‘Dig a Little Hole’.
Biota is a band beloved by J.J. Sonick and Eddie P. for combining ambient and experimental sounds with beguiling song structures, so in the Kitchen Sink instrumental ‘Political Song for Biota to Sing’ they pay tribute to Biota with the music, and give a bonus fond nod to the Minutemen with the title.
Finally, we survey a portion of the epic, constantly shifting ambient instrumental ‘Oceans of Shattered Glass’ by Charlie Naked, off the album of the same name.

J.J. Sonick
May 27, 2009
J.J. Sonick (aka Josh Lawrence) lives in San Francisco, CA and collaborates long-distance with Eddie P. (aka Karl Eifrig) in the bands New Old Men and Kitchen Sink, as well as playing with Stompin’ Jim Hambone (Craig Higdon) in the moonshined-up High Country Low Lifes. In the early 90’s he played in the bands Pookie and Avijit.
He produces the monthly Mozomedia Music Podcast with the assistance of Craig Higdon, who plays the D.J. Harris, Tom Merritt, who brings the SubBrilliant News, and the works of many musicians and friends.

Sonick: “I had the music for Never Get Clean recorded and the whole song in my head for years, but only recently (as of 5/09) recorded the vocals while housesitting for a friend, possibly disturbing the downstairs neighbor.”

Kai Balbin from Orange County, CA suggested the song title ‘Diwata’, which is a Filipino word for ‘goddess’ or ‘fairy’, and requested the song sound like ‘maybe sigur ros meet radiohead meet the album leaf/roots of orchis.’
Cultivations
Sonick: “I don’t play any of the music on what I call cultivations – instead midi tracks are computer generated from various programs, and my main work is in arranging (choosing the virtual instruments and mix) and pruning and splicing (tweaking/deleting midi notes). Cultivations are also my way of cheating to make up for my deficiencies. Someday I hope to be able to play the stuff I’ve ‘grown’ via cultivation.”

We start with a tribute to 8-bit retro glory and beyond in the form of the mid-fi indie pop of ‘Geek Patrol’ by The New Old Men.
Next is the alcohol-stained, warm-toned, lyrical alt-folk-country derangement of ‘The Delmontaire’ by White Mahatma.
This is followed by the lovely classical piano-styled motions of ‘Cascade’ by Chris Connolly, off his recent debut release Piano Album. You can hear more at Chris’ MySpace page.
Then we hear the shimmering lo-fi indie rock of ‘Self-Referential’ by Pookie, off the album Transcending the Goatfoot.
Next is a jaunt of old-time swing-style jazz via ‘Jimmy ‘the Suit’ Jazz’ by J.J. Sonick, from the soundtrack of the comedy show Come On, Scientists!.
Then we experience the all-time classic acoustic ballad of sexuality-fueled-despair-and-hilarity ‘Porno in the Sink’ by The Food and Drug Administration Orchestra.
SuBBrilliant News serves us satiric headlines that threaten to take our lunch money.
Next we take a ride on the galloping instrumental ‘Runaway Train’ by Charlie Naked off his album Oceans of Shattered Glass.
This is followed by the rock plus trombone shenanigans of ‘Monkey Fun’ by Avijit.
Then we take a ‘Ticket to a Quasar’ in the an increasingly spacey guitar/keyboard instrumental by Kitchen Sink.
Finally, we explore the dark, ambient rumblings of ‘Intelligibles and Invisibles’ by Nux Vomica.

DJ Saunter

DJ Saunter lives an apparently hermetic life in Austin, Texas. His communication with us is sporadic and takes two forms: a) pictures of his hamster, Qix b) the occasional song. For this we are thankful.
