DF n°140, August 29th, 2011

In the Summer season, we tend to be rather lazy with the show because we are also busy with other things, so no interview for this show, even though we have quite a few in our pockets that we should broadcast very soon. Nevertheless, we went to see Lars Von Trier’s latest movie, so we made a review of it, and we played three hours of very dark, cold, strange and beautiful music. Very Douche Froide style.

Here’s the playlist :

DF n°139, August 15th, 2011

As there are a lot of very exceptional concerts in France in the coming month of September, we have decided to focus on this for this show, apart from listening to some of the albums released recently in the field of musics we are interested in, and some rarities that we like to take out from our shelves for the pleasures of your ears only. So we dealt with the concert of Arnica with Lasher Keen in Toulouse on September 2nd (only date in France), the concert of Job Karma in Paris (first date in France ever) on September 24th and of course the fascinating programme of the Etrange Festival starting on September 2nd until September 11th in Paris. Among the guests, we will find Tuxedomoon (for a unique soundtrack of "Pink Narcissus"), Boyd Rice (for a new score on the fascinating movie "Dementia") and Marc Caro who will re-play the score of his first film "Le Bunker de la Dernière Rafale" thirty years after its creation. Of course, we will attend all these events, and you can be sure that you will hear about all this in our coming shows.

DF n°138, Interview with CLUB MORAL, July 18th, 2011

In April, we met the cult Belgian industrial band Club Moral for a long interview as they were invited to play at the Sonic Protest festival.. One part of it was made in English, the other one in French. Here is the French part of the interview. At the end of the interview, you will be surprised to hear the writer and photographer Romain Slocombe, because I invited him to attend the interview as he is working on a book with Dany Devos, the singer and performer of the band.

DF n°137, Interview with MAKINA GIRGIR/FALCO INVERNALE, July 4th, 2011

For this show, we received Philippe H. from band Makina Girgir and label Falco Invernale. We listened to his music and productions, and we asked him to take our mixing table during one whole hour and to play a selection of his favourite records. So it was like his "very best of". Even if the sound of his label can be quite catchy, electro and danceable, his tastes and origins come from some really dark bands of the eighties like Attrition, Coil, Minimal Man, Death in June or Severed Heads. A beautiful vinyl collection.

The Pain of our Loss

Last Friday, I was talking on the phone with Jérôme, my dearest friend and recent collaborator of the radio show Douche Froide. We talked about his coming projects, concerts and albums he planned to release on his own label, Verba Scripta. And we joked a lot, of course. He was to come to Toulouse the day after and sleep at my apartment as always. But he never came. Two hours after this phone call, he was on his way to the stars. We loved you so much, Jérôme, and words cannot explain our pain. Many of you might know his music through the records of Porn.Darsteller, his very original analog electronic project, very much inspired by 70s B-movie and porn cinema. He was now working under the name of La Mort de l'Hippocampe, and I had the opportunity to listen to the coming records which were sounding like real artistic masterpieces. I discovered a lot through you, Jérôme, and I have always been fascinated by your talent, ever since we met during the golden days of the Invasion Planete Label. During this last phone call, we talked about our coming radio show which was to focus on Belgian band Club Moral. You admired them a lot and you were to bring pieces from your nice collection of vinyls on the following Monday. I have read today the last email you sent to me and you talk to me about the series Carnivale, which I had given for you to see, and you told me that Adrienne Barbeau was still quite attractive even though she's quite old now. We had so much things to share together, I cannot help but feel this sudden departure as a shock. Today I looked at some old photographs of us together and thought about all these hilarious and wonderful moments we had together. See you soon, Jérôme. We have always laughed at the grotesqueness of life, and I still hear your voice smiling resounding in my head.

We miss you so much.

DF n°136, Interview with FRIEDER BUTZMANN, June 6th, 2011

Well, this was not really an interview, rather short excerpts of conversation with Frieder Butzmann while we were going to visit Notre-Dame in Paris. This cathedral meant a lot to him since he has a real passion for the so-called Notre-Dame school, people like Philippe de Vitry, Guillaume de Machaut and this kind of composers. It is quite surprising when we know the tragi-comic and grotesque aspect of Butzmann's music. Nevertheless, it was a great gift to spend some time with this great name of the German avant-garde. You could listen to him talking for hours because he has such a great culture and humor. This radio show was the opportunity to play some of our favorite songs by him, and some others that are quite surprising, notably his punk or oï singles.

Here's the playlist:

TZII, Ich bin nicht mehr der ihren

THE CORRIDOR, Texture

VIRGIN PRUNES, Beast (Seven Bastard Suck)

ANNA HOMLER, E’sha Ko’la Kee’yo

L’EGLISE DU MOUVEMENT PERISTALTIQUE INVERSE, Alfonso Hoffmann est mort

DF n°134, Interview with WOLFGANG MÜLLER, May 9th, 2011

Wolfgang Müller is an artist with a rare intelligence, and everything he did either in solo or with Die Tödliche Doris is just amazing. This is much more than music or sound sculpture, it's even beyond that. So it was fantastic to spend a few hours with him and Frieder Butzmann while they were invited at the Sonic Protest festival in Paris. We had lunch together then we went to see Notre-Dame but, as there were strikes in the city and so many tourists, we stopped at a bar and we spoke about his time working with Die Tödliche Doris.

During this radio show, we played the following songs:

MASKA GENETIK, Ernste Stunde

HOROLOGIUM, Père Lachaise 1

CYCLOBE, Inevitable Black Horn

REUTOFF, Land of Outcasts

HAUS ARAFNA, What you said

FLINT GLASS & POLARLICHT 4.1 TRANSISTOR, The Ice People

DIE TÖDLICHE DORIS, Tanz im Quadrat, Ungerichtigkeit, Stop der Information, Nachdenken, Gedächtnis und Gesang, Rythmus Im Blut, Krieg der Basen, Zwei Herzen, Privatparty, Erste Regel, Kavaliere, Stümmel Mir die Sprache, Der Tod ist ein Skandal…
