Fewsh

Fewsh is a music program. The only thing that distinguishes it from its nearly countless contemporaries is the simple fact that it is not one of its nearly countless contemporaries. This is not to say that Fewsh is unprecedented in any way, shape, or form. It is actually intended to point out quite the reverse! Fewsh is much like a single hotel room in a vast hotel. Though room C23 might be identical to every other room in a given hotel, it is individual by virtue of the fact that it is no other room than C23. However, it should be stated that Fewsh aims to provide a slightly different aesthetic approach, thereby justifying its existence.

What the above paragraph failed to communicate is that Fewsh's mission is to celebrate music in a very all-genres-welcome fashion. This is exemplified by the Dark Alley Knife Fight segment wherein two songs so dissimilar as to be considered aesthetic enemies are heard tandem. Tune in and hear it for yourself Mondays from 6 to 8 pm here on G-Town Radio. Fewsh; it's 81% music, 19% oh my gosh!

Reade McCardell is the host of Fewsh (or maybe Fewsh is the host of Reade McCardell, it's anyone's guess). He's a pale fellow with a sizable affection for music. He knows you like music too, and hopes you can find some satisfaction in the material he plays.

To learn more about the host feel free and encouraged to visit Reade's myspace page and/or e-mail him at fewsh@gtownradio.com.

A celebration of length! In this episode a number of longish recordings were given room to unfold the fullness of their glory, to stretch out their aching, lanky limbs temporarily free of abridgment!

Tonight's program mildly focused on bands that share members or are related in some fashion (for example: Shearwater and Okkervil River, The Killers and Zoot Woman, Trans Am and Transchamps). It wasn't too thorough a theme though; for the most part the goal was to play a trainload of music.

Tonight Fewsh narrowly avoided becoming a sound collage/sound effect program. If Jacques Hadamard's theory concerning sensitive dependence on initial conditions (the "butterfly effect") is true, just think what significance this carries! In any case, we heard excellent music [from Sweden, Brazil, Mali, and New Hope, Pennsylvania among other locales].

I, your host, somehow ended up chewing the fat with The Drum Set (personified, embodied) this evening on Fewsh. It was the first Static-ridden Phone Interview of 2009. Yes, you read correctly. The very entity played on every recording ever to feature drums spoke with me over the telephone. Sounds unlikely? Of course it does. In addition to this, Hayden's birthday was celebrated and a load of music was played.

In this installment of Fewsh, David Byrne's "The Knee Plays" (created for the never-fully-realized, daylong opera work 'the CIVIL warS' by Robert Wilson) was played end to end. It was enriching, amusing, funky, mind-expanding, Et cætera. Other musical delights were featured as well.

Tonight we heard a number of tracks from the wonderful compilations released by Minty Fresh Records over the past few years, and graciousness aflame was it enjoyable! Naturally though, we heard from quite a few other folks as well (e.g. Rob Mazurek, Sam Prekop, Liars, Mark Mothersbaugh, and others).
