If you push post-modern thought to its logical extreme, it'll end up wallowing around naked in a sea of its own piss and shit. This is the sound of BLACK STATIC TRANSMISISON.
Musical primitivism isn't some brain-dead, neanderthal fuck-around. Nor is it a bunch of angst-ridden, sexually repressed retards sticking a loop station/microphone combo into a shitty overdriven practice amp.
If you want a glib soundbite, then the sound of supposedly 'high' art/thought mutated into unrestricted freedom, acting on impulse with a love of sound as sound is roughly in the right ball park. Stuffy academia it most definately is not.
If you want a list of genres, then you're in the wrong place. But if you share a wave-length with free jazz, psychedelic electronics, devolved rawk shamanism, gnomic folk and other outsider audio, you'll probably have a lot to smoke about.
The so-called alternative/underground is about as alternative as ham sandwiches at high altitude. Come get some gourment subterannean dining at its dangerously undercooked best.
news
black static transmission has finished
Well, on Subcity anyway.
Thanks to all who have listened to the show for the last four years, and to all who listened to Grind Your Mind before that. It's been a blast.
BST will be back in some form in some other place in the future, and if you want any info about this, then just drop me an email at droningnoise@hotmail.co.uk.

BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION // 25.11.08 // Bible Belts & Blast Beats
Right you cunts, proving that the devil doesn't always have the best tunes, BST is going to be doing a little featurette (dainty, eh?) on God-geeks with geetars. They don't know how to do much right, but a select few truly know how to rock out with their cocks out.
We've played some FRACTION before, so they won't be making an appearance (sorry!), but expect some suitably dirty, spaced-out holy rollers to be spreading the good word that you haven't heard.
Just tune in on 25th November 2008 and the veil will be torn in front of your very eyes.
Praise be to Jeebus.
