The Crow Versus Crow Radio Show #125


The 125th episode of The Crow Versus Crow Radio Show, recorded at Crow Versus Crow Haus using a Zoom H1 recorder as a microphone and stitched together using outdated software. Please listen to this on headphones.

Mix-less and proud, this one. From weirdo French errrm.... Krautrock from Fille Qui Mousse, to No-Wavey, skronky, gross-out, severely un-PC...or, is that faux-un-PC?... rock and roll from Teddy and the Frat Girls, via beautiful Hungarian folk-tinged violin work from Agathe Max; a sparse, ritualistic harmonica piece from Laura Steenberge; super-heavy, an incredibly beautiful, Slayer-shred raga from Annapurna Devi; and VU in C ecstatic drone jamz from Vibracathedral Orchestra; in and amongst other golden golds from across the No-Audience Underground and beyond.
