Pirate Radio, Without The Pirates?
That's what I get to listen to all day. My new mechanic, Vic, had to be broken of his "World Class Rock" habit. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled onto KYEN out of Severance, Colorado. They seem to play lots and lots of "deep cuts", including stuff that I've never even heard before. A couple of days ago, they played "Venus in Furs" which is one of my favorite tunes by the VU.
I love the noisy racket (and out of tune viola) on this YouTube find:
My favorite song has to be "Pale Blue Eyes", mostly because that's the song that blew me away when I heard the nascent Red Cloud duo do it at the hipster youth halfway house. It worked out with a sparse arrangement. I wish that someone had recorded that show.

i love the dance moves on that video.
it's cool to find an almost-not-on-the-airwaves radio station. there should be more of them...but then it'd just be the internet.
i remember when my kids first heard venus in furs. i took all three of 'em plus ian to the grand opening of twist & shout on colfax. they didn't advertise the event so much and there were only about a dozen other people there besides us. devotchka played the vu tune by request and the kids were so impressed, they wanted to listen to my vu tape all the way home. it was fun times. i hope they remember it.
