Flying Saucer Take Me Away

Fuck a Pink Ranger. Before the Voltron ripoffs, there was Grandizer. A feat of Anterean technology piloted by interstellar-casanova Orion Quest. Japanese-super-robots aside; I ganked the name for my second show on WNYU in the fall of 2005. Intended to showcase sample-based music alongside its sources, the program started out as a cluster fuck of underground Hip Hop and Jazz Funk. Over time the sets became more eclectic, and the sound veered left of center. Tropicalia alongside No Wave, Free Jazz next to classic Soul. There were occasional themed sets to lend some semblance of focus. I've provided a link to the WNYU archives for your listening pleasure. See if you can spot the shows where I was drunk.
