Malderor's Curated Catastrophe

Shey was apparently feeling a very "multinational" mood this week, and plays a lot of music from around the world, particularly the subgenre of reggaeton. Malderor is still working through his pile of hand-imported vinyl from the UK, but drawing heavily from the reggae and dub spectrum of his imports. 2:01pm: People = Shit by Richard Cheese2:02pm: Ta Bueno by Dawer x Damper2:05pm: Zib by SIBIL.LA3 (Lia Kali, Kidd Pasto, Marcelo con Sofa Gabanna)2:10pm: Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing by Stevie Wonder2:19pm: Shame and Pride by The Mighty Diamonds2:23pm: Soul Fire Dub by Winston Edwards2:26pm: Whiter Shade Of Pale by Pat Kelly2:40pm: Una Vaina Loco by Fuego, Manuel Turizo and Duki2:45pm: Cosita Linda by Jencarlos x Pitbull2:47pm: Boogie on Reggae Woman by Stevie Wonder2:55pm: Train Is Coming Dub by Delroy Wilson3:00pm: African Roots by Prince Mohamed3:03pm: Pegasus Rock by Morwell Esq.3:09pm: Get Ready For Rocksteady by Alton Ellis3:13pm: Confesin by Nesty x Randy Malcolm3:50pm: Santo by Christina Aguilera x Ozun

In a slightly livelier episode than last week, Malderor brought in his haul of vinyl he picked up recently on his trip to the UK. And Shey plays Easter songs for her segments. Things get strange toward the end.2:01pm: Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode2:06pm: God by Tori Amos2:09pm: People = Shit by Richard Cheese2:10pm: Hair Of The Dog by Nazareth2:20pm: Love At First Sight by Lush2:30pm: Coast Is Clear by Curve2:33pm: Hand On My Heart (Jumping On My Ribcage With the Digital Rasta Remix) by Shriekback2:41pm: God's Away On Business by Tom Waits2:44pm: Same In The End by Sublime2:53pm: Save A Prayer (Live) by Duran Duran2:55pm: Rescue Me (Live) by The Alarm3:14pm: See The Light (Live) by Simple Minds3:16pm: I'm Sorry by The Hothouse Flowers3:19pm: Man In The Long Black Coat by Joan Osborne3:22pm: Fade To Blue by Ben Bohmer3:29pm: The Color Of Nothing by ford.3:36pm: I Fight Against Corruption by Cornell Campbell3:40pm: I Never Loved Eva Braun by The Boomtown Rats3:42pm: Tiny Daggers by INXS3:50pm: 21 Seconds by So

Shey did her normal stellar level of preproduction, while Malderor was running on low-energy fumes after a big weekend of outside obligations. A show was had:2:14pm: Silver Lining by First Aid Kit 2:15pm: Do You by Spoon2:19pm: The Week That Was2:22pm: Don't Kill My Vibe by Sigrid2:30pm: Mentiras Con Carino by Adrian Quesada and iLe2:34pm: Lord Knows Best by Dirty Beaches2:38pm: Suicide Girls (Cock Sparrer Cover) by Vandida3:22pm: It Runs Through Me by Tom Mich (feat De La Soul)3:25pm: Get What I Want by Bittersweet3:28pm: Stay High by Brittany Howard3:39pm: Recovery by Frank Turner3:40pm: Dustbowl Year by Autumn Saints3:48pm: Looking For A Cure by The Planet Smashers3:56pm: Behold The Hurricane by The Horrible Crowes3:57pm: Diane by Husker Du4:01pm: return to normal schedule.

Malderor is back from his Covid-infested tour of the United Kingdom, and he's back in the studio with Shey from the Bay. They are joined by original show cohost Dr. Junk, who arrives with a big "heat" on, and tries to do a "bit" with moderate success. You can be the judge on whether or not he pulled it off? Also, Shey plays some Sting, so overall this might be a flawed outing from the Catastrophe. I hope you find it entertaining in any event.2:03pm: Bridge Burning by Foo Fighters 2:10pm: My Friend by Groove Armada2:23pm: Warning by The Levellers2:29pm: For Fuck's Sake Jake by Jake Martin2:33pm: Am I Drinking Enough? by Mad Dog McCrea2:54pm: Roads by Portishead3:36pm: War Pigs by Black Sabbath3:36pm: Russians by Sting3:40pm: Life's Too Short by Tony Wright3:42pm: Tomorrow Is A Long Time by Elvis Presley3:47pm: Selfish by Ned's Atomic Dustbin3:56pm: Uptown Funk (Extended Afrobeat Mix) by Sly5thave & The Clubcasa Chamber Orchestra3:58pm: Antifa Dub by Cop On Fire

Shey and Malderor are back in the studio again. This weekend's show featured some random drop-ins from a "vendor" from Dolores Park, and things got seriously strange by the end of things. Also, Malderor forgot to eat again!

This week saw Shey From The Bay return to the studio, bringing with her the usual slate or properly-produced and well-recorded segments. Malderor? Well, he was Malderor.

This week marks the return of wayward cohost Shey From The Bay, and she brings with her the professionalism and NPR voice that we've been missing on the Catastrophe.

Malderor woke up this weekend to a Tsunami Warning. (In San Francisco?) Since he didn't have much time to prepare a radio show this week, the show is all surf/wave/ocean songs. (Although we drift into songs about pirates at the end. I don't know why.) The first two tracks are PLAGUED with skips due to Malderor's soon-to-be-retired geriatric old laptop, so maybe skip to 8:40 until I have time to edit the podcast.2:02pm: Wipeout by The Surfaris2:06pm: Miserlou by Dick Dale2:14pm: USA (Summer Mix) by The Jesus & Mary Chain 2:15pm: Surf Rider by The Lively Ones2:18pm: I Can't Surf by The Reverend Horton Heat2:20pm: Bustin' Surfboards by The Tornadoes2:23pm: Surfin' USM by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine2:26pm: My Surfing Lucifer by The Crocodiles2:31pm: Box of Tsunamis by One-Eyed King2:33pm: Tsunami by Skywaves2:40pm: Charlie Don't Surf by The Clash2:42pm: Tidal Wave 1 by Thee Oh Sees2:46pm: Cool Waves by Spiritualized2:51pm: Wave Of The Future by Amusement Parks On Fire2:55pm: Ocean Rising by New Model A

Malderor was continuing to train DJ Mark, and today's selections featured a lot of Blues music. Check it out below!2:02pm: The Curated Catastrophe 225 (Live at the DNA Lounge) by New Model Army2:09pm: The Cedar Room by Doves 2:14pm: John The Revelator by Blind Willie Johnson2:16pm: John The Revelator by Depeche Mode2:27pm: My Love Will Never Die by Magic Sam2:31pm: Why? by Lamont Mack2:46pm: Home Of The Blues by Johnny Cash2:48pm: Bone Bag (Live) by The Cult2:57pm: Got Love If You Want It (live) by The Yardbirds3:03pm: Blind Man by Little Milton3:12pm: St. James Infirmary by Bobby Blue Bland3:12pm: Losing Hand by Little Milton3:18pm: Gin and Tonic Blues by The Reverend Horton Heat3:19pm: Ventilator Blues by The Rolling Stones3:22pm: Red Army Blues (Live) by The Waterboys3:30pm: Travelling Riverside Blues by Led Zeppelin3:30pm: Traveling Riverside Blues by Led Zeppelin3:41pm: Searching For My Baby by Bobby Moore3:42pm: Just One Look by Doris Troy3:42pm: Crybaby by Garnet Mimms3:45pm: Haunted House by Gene Sim

We didn;t have a lot of time to prepare this week, but Malderor is randomly digging a Billy Ocean nothern soul single he found.

Lee "Scratch" Perry passed away a few weeks ago, and there is no producer who had as much impact on Malderor's musical tastes. So today we celebrated the legacy of Lee Perry, Black Ark Studios, and the Upsetters.2:05pm: Chase The Devil by Max Romeo and the Upsetters 2:05pm: Cloak and Dagger by Tommy McCook and the Upsetters2:08pm: From Dub Four by Clive Hylton and the Upsetters2:14pm: Fisherman by The Congos2:22pm: Hurt So Good by Susan Cadogan2:28pm: Three Blind Mice by Max Romeo2:32pm: Sipple Out Deh by Max Romeo2:35pm: Roots Train by Junior Murvin2:39pm: Bucky Skank by Lee Scratch Perrry and the Upsetters2:46pm: Huzza a Hana by Lee Scratch Perrry and the Upsetters2:49pm: History (12" Disco Mix) by Carlton Jackson2:57pm: Woman Gotta Have Love by Jimmy Riley3:05pm: The Best Dressed Chicken In Town by Dr. Alimantado3:07pm: Soul Fire by Lee Scratch Perrry and the Upsetters3:11pm: Congoman (12" Disco Mix) by The Congos3:17pm: Ital Corner by Prince Jazzbo3:22pm: Well Dread (Version 3) by Addis Ababa Children3:29

Despite the haircut, Malderor isn't really much of a metalhead. That said, he does like Black Sabbath, and their influential album Master of Reality turned 40 this week, so Malderor decided to focus on that record, as well as some of the "doom metal" artists that Sabbath begat, as well as some covers and interviews about their influence over music as a whole. Check out the podcast!2:05pm: Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath 2:08pm: After Forever (Live In Birmingham) by Black Sabbath2:17pm: Embryo by Black Sabbath2:19pm: Children of The Grave by Black Sabbath2:21pm: On Sabbath's Impact by Corey Taylor, Marilyn Manson, et al2:23pm: Hole In The Sky by Metallica2:27pm: Orchid by Black Sabbath2:31pm: Dragonaut by Sleep2:36pm: Goddamn Electric by Pantera2:40pm: Dying Inside (Live In Hamburg) by Saint Vitus2:52pm: War Pigs by Foo Fighters with Zac Brown2:56pm: Interview by Tony Iommi2:57pm: N.I.B. by Danzig3:02pm: Iron Man by Ministry3:10pm: Lord Of This World by Black Sabbath3:15pm: Grammy Montage by Black Sabbath3:17pm: W

Malderor is a member in the "vinyl club" for a Norwegian/UK psych-rock label called Fuzz Club. There was some kind of paperwork snafu during the pandemic and he missed an entire year's worth of vinyl deliveries, so all of the sudden a box of 19+ albums and singles plunked onto his doorstep. So this episode is mainly dipping into that massive load of vinyl.2:06pm: S.F. Sorrow Is Born by The Prettty Things 2:09pm: Still Moment by Big Red Panda2:19pm: Sugar Man by Black Pumas2:28pm: This Is The Only Way I Know by The Third Sound2:31pm: Rebellion by Cindy2:36pm: Twin Mime by New Candys2:41pm: Side Two Song One by Night Beats2:42pm: Never Look Back by Night Beats2:43pm: Shadow by Night Beats2:50pm: Bureau de Fatigue by Laundramat2:51pm: Say Yes by Coriky3:04pm: Ceremony by Galaxie 5003:10pm: I Might Have by A Place To Bury Strangers3:13pm: Summertime Blues by Singapore Sling3:24pm: The Wheel by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard3:24pm: Nothing To Hide by Allah Las3:27pm: Total Football by Parquet Courts3:32pm: Cau

Malderor was late because he was watching Italy win the European Cup final, but he's arrived with a large stack of new-to-the-show vinyl, including a second hour dedicated to new releases on the Fuzz Club psych-rock label. There was some fumbling around getting everything to work.2:00pm Shey's Intro Mix2:23pm: Bass Culture by Linton Kwesi Johnson 2:42pm: What's Goin' On? by Donny Hathaway2:48pm: Somebody Was Watching by Pops Staples2:50pm: What Am I Living For by Percy Sledge2:54pm: Jahowojah Comfort Me by Pazy and The Black Hippies2:58pm: Organ Grinder Swing by The Incredible Jimmy Smith3:13pm: Sick Fuck by Singapore Sling3:13pm: Isolation by The Warlocks3:17pm: Same Old Line by The Spyrals3:26pm: Evil Evil by New Candys3:30pm: Never Look Back by Night Beats3:34pm: Departure (Robert Levon Been Remix) by The Vacant Lots3:43pm: Radar Men From The Moon by Breeding3:46pm: Difficult Machinery by Veik3:49pm: Schmetterling by Holy Wave3:56pm: Jangle Bowls by Pretty Lightning

All the gear is set-up, and we have a little opening party for our new studio space. (Tunes are a little more "accessible" this week, since there was a party going on in the space.) 2:03pm: Everything Will Flow (Rollo Vocal Mix) by Suede 2:15pm: Fish Below The Ice (Plankton Enriched Mix) by Shriekback2:17pm: Conquering Lion (Rebel Sound) (Smith and Mighty Mix) by Yabby You2:22pm: Kunta Kinte Dub (Version One) by The Revolutionaries2:29pm: Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry2:33pm: The Bomb Drops by The Jeep Beat Collective2:37pm: Triple Trouble by The Beastie Boys2:43pm: Shall We Take A Trip by Northside2:52pm: Love Spreasds by The Stone Roses2:53pm: Take Five by Northside2:59pm: Real Real Real (The Real Club Mix) by Jesus Jones3:08pm: Sound Of Da Police (Remix) by KRS-One3:15pm: Brighton Rock by Queen3:21pm: Jump In The Fire by Harry Nilsson3:25pm: Miss Misery by Nazareth3:29pm: Sing Along by Sturgill Simpson 3:38pm: London Calling by The Clash3:42pm: Every Fallen In Love? by The Buzzcocks3:43pm: Step On by Happy

The episode was cut short when the power went out in the Mission in the middle of the broadcast.2:02pm: Eat Acid See God by The Gluts 2:10pm: Searchin' by Acid Dad2:14pm: Electric Dream Demon by Gnob2:36pm: Track One by Swedish Death Candy2:36pm: Take Back The Power by The interruptors2:36pm: Life Won't Wait by Rancid2:59pm: Bass Culture by Linton Kwesi Johnson3:02pm: Gunman of Ja by Jimmy Riley3:07pm: Janie Jones by ALF3:14pm: POWER FAILURE3:18pm: Feeling Better by Sugar3:34pm: Licks A Plenty by Jimmy McGriff and Richard "Groove" Holmes

Malderor spins an all-vinyl episode, exclusively playing records he's acquired during the year-plus of pandemic and lockdown. (Includes a few double-shots for reasons of rustiness at the controls.)2:10pm: Do It Clean (Live 1985) by Echo and The Bunnymen M2:13pm: Living For The City by The Dirtbombs2:14pm: I Love Marijuana by Linval Thompson2:22pm: The Dark End Of The Street by James Carr2:25pm: I'm Going For Myself by James Carr2:28pm: Black Moon Rising by Black Pumas2:32pm: Colors by Black Pumas2:37pm: Ricky's Theme by The Beastie Boys2:43pm: In A Ghetto (Live, Fuzz Club Session) by JuJu2:51pm: Hell In Texas by The Night Beats3:03pm: Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Pops Staples3:04pm: Gotts Serve Somebody by Pops Staples3:09pm: King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown (Dub) by Augustus Pablo3:14pm: Older Than Tomorrow by Saccades3:16pm: Never Play To The Gallery by David Bowie3:17pm: Infernal Heads by Cult of Dom Keller3:21pm: The 7th Terror (Live, Levitation Sessions) by Fuzz 3:30pm: I Catch You Napping by PinkShinyU

This was the first show done in our new studio space. Technically, it was a remote, since the gear wasn't all set up yet, but Malderor did his show from the new space. Malderor hadn't figured out the mic placement for this new setup yet, so the breaks are a bit echoey. But it's a remote from the new studio!2:01pm: Do You Remember Rock & Roll Radio? by Ramones2:05pm: Radio Havana by Rancid2:09pm: Alternative Radio by Slapstick2:10pm: Pirate Radio by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper2:15pm: Airbag by Horace Andy2:22pm: When You Were Mine by Coaltar of the Deepers2:24pm: End Of The Night by A Place To Bury Strangers2:32pm: Duality (Slipknot Cover, Country Version) by Unknown Artist2:35pm: Get In The Ring by G*ns & R*ses2:46pm: Everything Counts (In Large Amounts) Live by Depeche Mode2:47pm: Live For Love by The Spiral Electric2:52pm: Let Me Let You Down by Mudhoney2:59pm: Season Of The Witch by Mundy3:04pm: The Delicate Balance Of All Things by Beauty In Chaos feat. Cinthya Hussey3:10pm: Snakedance (Youth Rattle

This was a "regular" episode of the Catastrophe, in that we mainly focused on music, and decided to skip the topical content this week. Malderor does have a sort of odd commonality amongst his musical selections, as most of them feature breathy male vocalists in the Mark Hollis/Steve Winwood/John Martyn vein, but that's not really a "theme" exactly. Whatever, there is good music this week, so check it out!2:03pm: Oh Oh Yeah by Morcheeba2:15pm: Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation2:19pm: It's My Life (Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival) by Talk Talk2:27pm: My Ever Changing Moods (Live) by The Style Council2:31pm: What's Going On (Live On Jools Holland) by Paul Weller2:43pm: Space by Pool Clvb2:46pm: High by the Beach by Lana del Ray2:51pm: Royals by Lorde2:54pm: Floating by Klur2:59pm: Big Muff by John Martyn3:06pm: Can't Find My Way Home (Live) by Steve Winwood3:11pm: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson3:21pm: Mango by Kamaau feat.
