TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #51: ...AND THE HITS KEEP COMING!

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #51: 

...AND THE HITS KEEP COMING!

by Chris La Vigna (@Chris_LaVigna)

Let 'em have it!

Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was. fan-freakin' tastic, like a nice piece-a mozzarell' topped on top of a slice of semolina bread with some olive oil drizzled on top and a slice of tomato wedged right in there. My on-mic banter was on point and I had a nice mix of regular listeners in the chat helping me keep my spirits and my energy levels high.

Shows like this one remind me why I keep on doing this, why I keep putting in the energy to organize these little playlists and search through the seemingly endless depths of the internet to find new music that excites me and my small but dedicated base of listeners as well. It's always the highest compliment when someone tells me that they've been exposed to something they never would've heard otherwise through my show.

We're always raising Hell on TERMINAL TRANSMISSION...


My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" is the entrancing cut of electronic fantasy portal that is the song "H.O.T.P.I.N.K." by the duo PET wife, a queer trans couple who make experimental pop music together. They came highly recommended from Justin Mayer of Old City, so I had no choice but to check out the song, and lo and behold, it's an absolute banger from start to finish. 
 
The relentless beat, mixed with some slick samples  layered robo-vocals, feels both futuristic and old-school at the same time. As I listened to the song several times over in rapid succession, I pictured myself at a rave in an abandoned New York City church, bathed in purple and blue lights as I feverishly danced away, under the influence of some good drugs and an even more powerful unspoken force of ritual and love/lust. (mind you, I can't dance for shit, but in this fantasy zone I sure as hell could!). Buy this sexy ass song and keep your eye out for more music from PET wife.

If you missed today's live broadcast, you can stream it here via the KPISS website (there's also a mobile app now). You can also catch up on past programs here. As long as T.T. keeps a-rockin', boring radio sleeps with the fishes!


P.S. Guilty on all three counts, FUCK YOU Derek Chauvin. Rest In Peace and Power George Floyd. A small bit of justice, served far too late, but recognized just the same. Yeah, I know that in terms of tone that's a complete 360 degree turn, but screw it. I want my raw feelings documented. I feel energized. I feel humbled by the sacrifice of countless people. The fight goes on.

TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY

 TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY by Chris La Vigna ( @chrislavigna.bsky.social) Once again I am dusting off the blog to conjure up some words about some cool music that I feel that you need to check out.  Life has been an absolute chaotic psychic minefield as of late, and if you're like me, you're grasping for any piece of art to get you through the day, let alone the next four years or so. With that in mind: folks, it is my supreme pleasure to report to you that Brooklyn's PET Wife is back at it again with some more electro-pop realness. As if releasing their excellent album foam set this past spring wasn’t enough for us, their latest single, “ BAD WAY ” dropped in early October, and it has come to work its way to the top of all of your future Halloween/ Year-round Darksynth playlists, especially if you’re trying to organize your own D.I.Y. version of the blood rave sequence in Blade . It's a dark and dirty song, fast and ferocious, clocking in at one minute and fifty...

TRACK REVIEW: MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE"

TRACK REVIEW:  MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE" by Chris La Vigna ( @instant_insanity_productions ) "Alright, who's been putting 'shrooms in the dog food again?"                           It's been quite some time since I've felt compelled to post anything on this blog. Life comes at you fast, y'know? I suspect the fellas in Maintenance, who in my opinion are one of the most consistently interesting bands in the 914 music scene, would agree with that particular truism.  Though the band has been playing plenty of gigs over the last year or so, they have been largely quiet when it comes to dropping new music.  It's more than understandable when you consider just how deep of an impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on not only the local music scene, but musicians and venues across the country. We've all had to adjust, re-organize, and re-prioritize what we've been doing with ourselves in some way or another. A...

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL By Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna) Slacker demon Gary Bunda (Henry Zebrowski) and his co-worker Ben (Ben Bladon) are doin' a Party Hole thang. You wouldn't understand. Life is Hell, right? That’s a sentiment we can all generally get behind, especially when it comes to our jobs, which seem to consume the majority of our existence on Earth. Well, what if the afterlife proved to be just as monotonous, mind-numbing, and (literally) soul crushing as your office job, with all those co-workers you hate and that supervisor that pisses all over you? That’s the premise of the Adult Swim show YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL, a workplace comedy about demons working in the pits of Hades, taking Satan’s orders to get more souls. The show wrapped its fourth season in early 2019, and in the interest of promoting it to get it some more eyeballs and possibly help secure a fifth season, allow me to dive into all the...
