Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
The Velvet Underground Etcetera Part 2 This month X-Ray Moon completes his two-parter dedicated to The Velvet Underground and the spirals that circled around and beyond them. This, in total (with last month's show: PART 1) two hour special is due to the fact that sixty years ago, in 1966, the Velvet Underground began recording tracks for what would become their first album: ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico', released in 1967. Such an important music group were they, that it would have felt incongruous to have let such a pivotal moment, anniversary, in music history to pass unmarked. X-Ray Moon hopes everyone enjoys the show… and suggests that maybe people play this month's show along with last month's show, back to back... or even back to front... or even... upside down: “What goes on in your mind makes me feel I'm upside down”
This is: THE VELVET UNDERGROUND ETCETERA – PART 2
(other specials by X-Ray Moon include programmes on: CAN; Nirvana; Protest Songs; East German Music; The Jam, etc...)

| Now Playing: John Cale & Terry Riley - Church of Anthrax
|  Image from Discogs  Church of Anthrax is a collaboration between John Cale and Terry Riley, who had worked together in New York in the Sixties, as documented on Cale's 2000 archive release Stainless Steel Gamelan. The record was released in February 1971 by Cale's record company, Columbia Records, nearly a year after the material was recorded. Although this album captures musical qualities typical to each artist, it is said that neither was satisfied with the final product. John Cale brings a harder edge to Terry Riley's hypnotic stylings, while Riley returns Cale to his experimental roots (including Cage inspired toy piano), without losing focus. Read more on Last.fm.
