Victor seems like a combination of a real person mixed with one of the fake callers from the Best Show On WFMU. I don't doubt he works on Wall Street and all, but the constant bragging about himself (I make millions! I have parties every week with a 100 people!) combined with the death threats and the insults is a bit too much.

Really interesting/surreal show though.

i couldn't deal with the juan maclean bla bla, too annoying, didn't end up listening to that one.

really loved the latest with mika snikars and hnny, minimal talk thank god.

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 2 February 2013 20:36 (eleven years ago) link

you know what would be ideal is the music stays the same and the show is hosted by fred rogers (r.i.p.)

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 2 February 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link

ok i think the deal is he talks to people like they're release schedules? workaholic

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:13 (eleven years ago) link

i don't mind

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:14 (eleven years ago) link

when did you last play new york, when will you next play new york, where did you last play new york, where will you next play new york, when were you last on the show, what label will you next release on, ehhhhhhhhhhhh, deep inhale into the mic, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

he is laughable sometimes, but his show is still awesome and he is a great dj and i'm sure a great guy.

yeah he sounds really great!

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:17 (eleven years ago) link

i always google these parties that people play in like phoenix or denver and get jealous.

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:19 (eleven years ago) link

(daniel avery playing in phoenix ffs)

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:19 (eleven years ago) link

the music is the absolute best though. it has annoyed me for ages that nobody here ever talks about it despite the fact you hear the best tracks way before anyone mentions them here.

Ballboy to Afghanistan (LocalGarda), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:20 (eleven years ago) link

god yes. i was so into the mika snikars set last week, reminded me of a cos/mes mix from last year i think. hnny might have been better even. new one sounds great so far (though it's late and i'm inattentive).

administrator galina (Matt P), Saturday, 9 February 2013 09:25 (eleven years ago) link

tim is def a great guy!!

❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Saturday, 9 February 2013 10:31 (eleven years ago) link

did you meet him when he played hawaii? that sounded good when he mentioned it on the show.

i met him in dublin years ago and he was really nice.

Ballboy to Afghanistan (LocalGarda), Saturday, 9 February 2013 11:16 (eleven years ago) link

yeah he came out twice last year actually. i didn't really get to spend any time with him but friends of mine were hosting him and he played the club I used to be a resident at.

met him once in Chicago early 2006 once too

❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Saturday, 9 February 2013 12:13 (eleven years ago) link

I don't know why, but I still sometimes imagine he has long hair.

formerly EDB (ed.b), Saturday, 9 February 2013 16:12 (eleven years ago) link

Like, I see him, and don't recognize him, 'cause Tim ca. 2006 is all my mind's eye knows.

I'm on tonight. I'm going to play techno, italo, some new wave and some pretentious NYC art music.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link

probably.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link

Excellent, can't wait to listen in..

mmmm, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 21:51 (nine years ago) link

Cool set Dan! No Paul Haig though? ;) Never heard Frederic Rzewski or Repetition before. Also awesome to hear Meredith Monk fit right in with all the beat-driven stuff.

Michael F Gill, Sunday, 30 November 2014 02:54 (nine years ago) link

dan your set was really good!

currently listening to the 15th anniversary mix, the classics disc starts off with victor from washington heights of course.

electric sack butt (haitch), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 05:42 (nine years ago) link

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The second half is a bit spotty and I missed playing certain stuff I wanted to get to, but Tim was kind enough to have already given me a ton of time.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link

1000th show this week and a great selection of tunes from the last 20 years played, many of which I'd completely forgotten about (like KZA and Sidwho?)

He should just move it to The Lot or the like. 99% of his listernship is online and he carries his own archives via patreon support.

dan selzer, Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:22 (four years ago) link

good news - he's getting to keep the slot after all!

oh no

flopson, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 06:18 (three years ago) link

21 years! The show itself is old enough to graduate college.

Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 06:39 (three years ago) link

Maybe not the end as Tim says it's just a break at the end of the show (but doesn't specify how long)

Anyone know what this one could be? From his 2008 mix CD for RVNG.

plazzTT, Friday, 21 May 2021 14:07 (two years ago) link

Wow! Great song, but no idea on the ID--Neu! '75 meets Roxy downtown

Kangol In The Light (Craig D.), Friday, 21 May 2021 14:23 (two years ago) link

yeah sounds like a band losing themselves in a La Düsseldorf/Eno wormhole

willem, Friday, 21 May 2021 14:26 (two years ago) link

Sounds like a Conny Plank production. Where’s Julian Cope’s Krautrockshazampler when you need it.

Michael F Gill, Friday, 21 May 2021 20:54 (two years ago) link

no idea but it's so good!

donna rouge, Friday, 21 May 2021 21:23 (two years ago) link

Has anybody asked him?

dan selzer, Saturday, 22 May 2021 02:57 (two years ago) link

found it!!

The Mickey Bliss Band - Trapezoid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7w1lxC3fvI

donna rouge, Saturday, 22 May 2021 21:05 (two years ago) link

I asked him if it was a song vahid thought it was and he said with the name I’d this thread he wasn’t going to help.

dan selzer, Saturday, 22 May 2021 22:05 (two years ago) link

Excellent work xp

I was also searching for "trapezoid" as the title and guessed early 80s.
