the radiofreemidwich show episode 50

Hello comrades!  Blimey, 50 eh?  Seems worth noting.  In lieu of a party, I’ve decided to abandon the established format and do something even more special than usual.  A few weeks ago, I put out a call to artists previously featured on the show asking if they had anything unheard I could play in celebration.  This could be, for example, a demo, rehearsal, out-take, or a track from an unreleased project.  The original idea was to mix these in with other new stuff but so many superb tracks have been shared that I’ve put together this entire show with exclusives.  I hope you enjoy this treat as much as I delighted in baking it – I’ve been knocked on my arse by the generosity and quality offered!

Here’s links to the artists’ work – show ’em some support!

The next episode of the radiofreemidwich show will be #50, which seems worth celebrating. It will also be delayed by maybe three weeks due to family stuff (don’t worry – nowt serious). The silver lining is this gives us an opportunity to make it a bit special.

If you are an artist who has been previously featured on the show and have something unheard that I could play as an exclusive then please get in touch. This can be an oddity, an off-cut or something from a planned release that won’t be out for a while. The only criteria is that it runs eight minutes or under (extracts from longer pieces are fine) and that we both really dig it. I’ll tuck some of these in amongst the new stuff.

Also, and this is open to anyone, if you’d like to record yourself saying ‘Hello comrades, and welcome to radiofreemidwich’ and/or ‘be kind to each other’ then please do (lo-fi phone recordings are fine) and I’ll use some of them too.

Contact me via email, a comment here or a DM on Twitter (@radiomidwich). Mp3 via wetransfer is my preferred method of exchange, but not insisted upon. I’ll only be online occasionally over the next few days so don’t fret if I take a moment to reply. I will, of course, be delighted to hear from you.

With love, Rob

the radiofreemidwich show episode 49

Hello comrades!  I’m guessing we could all do with a little distraction before getting back to the fight, eh?  So here’s half an hour for you.  The show is bookended with righteous anger but in the middle we have industrial clunk, magickal incantations, an outsider art mystery and our second reading from the wonderful Kevin Boniface.

The next episode will be #50, which is one of those landmarks that merits noting, but I haven’t decided what to do to celebrate it (suggestions welcome).  Luckily, due to some family stuff it will be delayed by a couple of weeks, so I have time to mull it over.  In the meantime, why not listen to old episodes you’ve missed or catch up with sister podcasts such as Anticipating Nowhere, Hide From Time, Phantom Circuit or any number of others doing the work.  I’ll be back before you know it.

Here’s links to the tracks played – please support the artists!

instead share: thinking about ‘submission’ in the no-audience underground

May 14, 2021 at 8:41 pm | Posted in musings, no audience underground | 2 Comments
Tags:

During lockdown, largely for the sake of my mental health, I took a lengthy break from the ‘creative’ to concentrate on family life, paid employment and efforts not to go batshit with gloom.  This self-imposed exile came to an end a couple of months ago and I have returned in a measured and careful way.  So far, my main contribution has been rekindling the radiofreemidwich show.  Putting it together dressed in its original fit (six tracks, half an hour, weeklyish) has proved an absolute joy and the comments I’ve had in response have been very nourishing.  However, it has provoked a little soul-searching on my part, so I’d like to poke some related thoughts with a stick.


Aside from in certain, let’s say, ‘private’ contexts, I hate the words ‘submission’ and ‘submit’.  They carry notions of hierarchy, demand – the relationship between the cowed and the bully.  I don’t want that shit in my life in general and it isn’t coming within a mile of my major leisure pursuit.  One of the great pleasures of existing within what I’ve called the ‘no-audience underground’ is its non-hierarchical nature, where work and the promotion of that work (for what that is worth – insert cry/laugh emoji) is undertaken with a spirit of enthusiasm and non-binding mutual uplift.  Introduce ‘submission’ into this and an unwelcome power-dynamic is re-established, previously fluid relationships calcify, and the interaction becomes far too transactional.


This last aspect is a key example of how it corrodes in the other direction too, even if the person (or radio show, zine, label etc.) submitted to is acting with the best intentions.  Some will abuse the power this affords in obvious, miserable ways but thankfully there is very little of that ‘down here’ where bullshit is called out pretty sharply or noted and ignored.  More likely is the opposite – that the process of submission starts weighing down the submitted-to with a crushing sense of obligation.  Piles of stuff teeter as the more friendly, enthusiastic and accommodating you are the more pressure is put on you by well-meaning friends who just want to give you excellent art for free in the hope that you will accommodate it and express your friendly enthusiasm.  Anyone familiar with organising or publishing within a DIY scene will be painfully aware of how this forest fire of loveliness can lead to burn out, with guilt pouring petrol on the embers.


The usual process of submission also reinforces the political status quo, particularly regarding identity.  Ask anyone who invites submissions – to play, review or release – and they will tell you that unless they are very explicit in their requirements, submissions from cishet white men will swamp every other voice.  This is because those with the most privilege have been taught to have a confidence that marginalized voices have not.  I am white, male, middle-aged, middle class (more or less), cishet and for me and my brethren it is easy to pass off shockingly half-arsed nonsense because we are used to the world taking notice.  Hence expressing an interest in hearing from marginalized groups, whose work is as good but who don’t have the same means of presenting it, is a meagre attempt to level a fucking shonky playing field.  After expressing thoughts like this before I’ve had a few reactions from men along the lines of “surely, it should just be about the quality of the music!” To which I am always tempted to reply, “Yes, exactly, thank you for agreeing with me, that is why I am asking to hear from marginalized voices only today.”  The dudes rarely get the point though.


So, bollocks to ‘submission’ in its current form – let’s talk about what we can have instead.  The first option is, I guess, reform.  Keeping a similar system but with a watchful eye on the dynamics would mean those wanting material to play, review or release would have to be more active and specific when inviting it.  Actually asking artists they admire from less well represented groups if they would like to be involved, for example, and boosting the practice of those that do likewise.  Efforts such as these would hopefully encourage those groups to be more forward, making them more visible to invite and so on – the virtuous circle being widened and strengthened with each go around.  Not a seesaw of submission/acceptance but a sharing of the process.


The second option, a rejection or circumvention of submission, is more radical.  This involves people such as me, who run podcasts or write reviews or run labels, doing the research.  That is, following up on Twitter recommendations, getting lost wandering around the rabbit warren that is Bandcamp, listening to others doing the same thing, talking to artists about other artists etc., making notes then downloading and/or buying the stuff yourself.  I’m trying to do it this way as much as possible.  Not only is it great fun and a terrific way to absorb what’s going on but it neatly swerves most of the feelings of being over-obligated.  When I was regularly writing reviews for this blog, for example, I might find myself in receipt of 20 submissions a week, could only listen to 10 and write about 2.  It was physically and mentally unsustainable for me.  Now, I politely decline submissions (mostly) and have rejigged my time.  For the podcast, I am in receipt of (almost) no submissions, spend the time saved researching instead, play six of my finds, two or three of which I pay for and the rest blag for nowt if they are name your price downloads (or gifts).  It feels a lot healthier, like the notion of sharing the process has widened, has become more manageable and less stressful.


So here’s a conclusion in two parts.  Firstly, none of the above is meant to refer to the mainstream or professional media.  They have related and more intractable issues of their own, of course, but it is outside of my remit to comment here.  My suspicions as to the continued relevance of these institutions is documented but I do genuinely wish all comers the best in these grisly times.


Secondly, some caveats were bracketed above to indicate that in this, as in most things, I do not have the resources or inclination to be a purist.  Despite being lucky enough to have a stable household income, money for hobbies is accounted for and I know finances will be a lot tighter for many reading this.  As such, the price I will sometimes name is ‘zero’.  Indeed, whole episodes of the RFM show have been constructed this way, with me deeming my careful attention and the playing of a track on a hugely popular podcast (RFM can attract upwards of ONE HUNDRED listeners in clear weather.  Big time, eh?) as payment in goodwill rather than currency.  I appreciate this may sound like a self-serving, moral workaround because, well, it is, but it is also a mutually beneficial, enthusiastic and respectful arrangement between creators of a kind that keeps the blood of these interlocking scenes oxygenated and circulating.  Likewise, if someone offers me a DL code for an intriguing release, especially if there are tracks I can hear before committing to using it, then why not?  I see it as being given a gift by a fellow traveller.  The submission dynamic is not (as) present because expectations are shared and thus obligations are looser or, ideally, not a concern at all.


Reading back over this I worry that the topic might seem niche, a bit of clever-clever overthinking, but I think the semantic point is worth making.  In summary, consider the vocabulary that could be used to ask a common question: “how do I submit my music to you?” or “how can I share my music with you?” The former, through no fault of the artist of course, feels like sand blown into a beach picnic.  The latter is lit by a defining feature of the no-audience underground.

Please send me your recommendations for things I may enjoy featuring on the radiofreemidwich show.  If you are not a regular then please listen to a couple and read a few of the track listings below to get a feel for what I like and what I may be missing.  Work from marginalized groups preferred.  Contact via twitter DM (@radiomidwich) or comment on this post.

the radiofreemidwich show episode 48

Hello comrades!  Presenting an epic 34 minutes of kitchen fires and their dark aftermath, the corrugations on unfurling beech leaves and the swagger of ants marching across a beer garden.  Get yourself a big sandwich and/or plan your stroll accordingly. Terrific line up.

Of special note is that today’s interlude is a reading by Kevin Boniface.  Kevin is a writer and artist who makes his living as a postman in Huddersfield.  His diaries – beautifully observed vignettes of ordinary life, presented deadpan, free of judgement – were published in a book called Round About Town by Uniform Books in 2018.  I love this book, I find the writing hypnotic, poignant and frequently hilarious and when I saw Kevin tweet a link to a soundcloud recording of him reading I took a chance and sent a DM.  He graciously agreed to choose and read a handful of excerpts for me to use as interludes in coming shows.  Three more to look forward to.

rob presents the radiofreemidwich show episode 47!

Hello comrades!  Hope all is good with you lot.  This is a tight af episode, a mere 25 minutes, featuring the taste of salt liquorice, heaving viscera of uncertain purpose and adventures in spelunking.  The interlude is a clip of a phone recording made whilst overexcited at being on a bus.  It has been great to read some of Pete Coward’s poems over the last few weeks but I think we are done with that now.  R.I.P. comrade.  A new spoken word series is being arranged and, if it comes off, will be a right treat.  As an added bonus, this week the boy returns to help.

Well, I have to say I was touched by the messages of support welcoming back this little project, so heartfelt thanks for all that.  In response I am committing to continuing the show, even if the schedule has to be erratic.  This episode features scouring punk, feet confounding bass and skitter, furious noise, twanging gurglecore, skeletal meta-pop and the kind of all-encompassing magnificence that makes my day.  All packed into an efficient 28 minutes – so short that even those working from home can listen on their commute.
