As I, Jerry Danger (aka Sandino Favero) made the rounds across this fine country, getting stoned in photo booths at Coney Island, falling drunk into a flooded lake St. Louis following a visitation of holy magnitude through a Tom Waits Concert, those most faithful of listeners have become better aquainted with Sweet Action’s Own Enrique Chavez.

A pot bellied Brazillian with a brain like a dolphin, Enrique Chavez (aka Punchie Boligero) has been promoted from the occaisional guest DJ (and omnipresent guest) to bona-fide Co-Host. Thats right. Chavez has a preternatural tendency to arrange music on the fly in such a manner that it has been known to cause ass seizures. He holds no loyalty to any genre or barometer of taste, simply a mad genius of noise set loose on the soundboard. And your ear holes are straight in his sights. Anyone seeking any sort of legal retribution on obscenity charges, feel free to contact him on his cell phone: 618-922-7292. If you are seeking proof, please give his most recent playlist a listen:

It’s a phenomenon motherfucker.

No seriously, this shit is fucking legendary like the hidden temple.

Bear witness to the impromptu inebriated sonic sceance known only as Sweet Action.

Playlist to follow in the comments section.

Love,

J. Danger

DJ 2 many pills

I’m just chilling out, thinking about what I should get together for the show right-

and then I realize

OH SNAP

My cousin Alex is totally ready to swing that

AND SWING IT HE DID CHECK IT OUT CHECK IT OUT

came in to the studio with nothing prepared or thought out and only the ipod in hand and let the cards fall where they got dropped and damn

they got dropped like hot potatoes kidss and kiddoes

ALLOVERTHE DAMN PLACE

It was a bit chaotic and  all kinds of music was brought in and I was happy- and despite being completley off the cuff some tight mixes occurred, record scratching was taught and experiments and rabbits were pulled from hats.

Lucas also pulled something from his pants if I remember right-

I certainly don’t clearly, listening to the show is a bit like being guy pearce looking in a mirror in memento

YOU CLICK YOUR LITTLE CLICKER HERE THIS IS THE SPOT WHERE YOU DO THAT YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT

The clips as usual starts out with some rap for jesus, and then I talk about politics for ten minutes or so-

then we get to dancing with a few tracks dug up from a mix put together by Simian Mobile DIsco that is tight as hell-

Sebastian-Ross Ross Ross

Justice- The Fallen

Zongamin- bongo song

mystery jets- crosswords

the gossip- standing in the way of control (soulwax nite version)

Dig the swing into Golden Years by David Bowie, and the accidental bump of the record player that worked out on beat…)

into some NIN on vynyl

at this point I start messing with a culture club record

Into Of Montreal where the scratching continues

and then the Classic Soul Glow from Coming to America

and then we play a random record we found in the back where everyone had serious jerry curls

back into NIN

Into Fuck Buttons- Bright Tomorrow

We Keep playing with the records, I let andrew try some scratching in there at some point

Pitch bending

A John Cassavetes Clip- “I don’t wanna see something different”

I try to blow your speakers

Nick Cave- Red Right Hand, Me and Drew fading in noise

Some song with a german name that makes me terminlly joyful

Release the Bats by the Birthday Party god that kicks ass

Vampire Weekend covering exit music into radiohead’s own version

James expresses his love into the microphone

PIxies- Bone Machine (probably the weirdest accidental dedication ever)

Fear- I love living in the city (oops)

A special announcement that will never be heard-

Grant to Carbondale-

Gogol Bordello- Madagascar

I play a song lengthy track off the drone masterpiece Altar by (((sun and boris while I have a smoke and talk some shit

but we only got like half the show here to hear.

Its alright though at least its something-

and really who has a full two hours to listen these days anyways?

Besides, I have planted entertaining and edifying links throughout the blog, so you will get your moneys worth.

Oh and speaking of money’s worth, the membership drive is coming up and I need to get some donations or they will probably kick me off. Not for a couple weeks though, so no worries.

SHOWTIME!

Due to things not going quite as planned, it was not as smooth of a show as I would have liked, but no matter.

This coming Friday, oh my. My younger brother will be making up for lost time, playing some bands that he has introduced me too, or that we both have encountered simultaneously.

So without any further ado,

HERE IS LAST WEEK’S SHOW

as usual, we start out with cedric’s rap for jesus- not exactly my style.

The show then starts out Biblical, because we all have the language ingrained  in us and its a fun game to play with Cedric’s listeners-

We start out with a tiny taste of Gene Moore, the organist behind the surreal score for Carnival Of Souls.

David Axelrod (the musician/producer, not Obama’s right hand man) keeps the beat religious with The Warnings.

Justice drops some Cecil B. Demille’s Ten Commanments stlye on Genesis Pt. 1

then

Justice remixing Franz Ferdinand being remixed by Simian Mobile Disco breaks us out of the sanctimonious vibe with a finality incomparable.

Dan the Automator (famed producer the Gorillaz debut and Lovage) mixing up some classic Bollywood tracks in Ganges a Go Go

Hot Chip- Shake a Fist (we get stupid in the studio)

Handsome Furs (Members of Wolf Parade/Frog Eyes)- Handsome Furs Hate this City

I talk for a bit, and actually I am being pretty ridiculous here because Sam is putting music to my film and I am just being coy.

Sam West- Electric Chair

Then I blather on while I try to cue things up- scorpions do not commit suicide.

Bonnie Prince Billie covering Bjork’s “I’ve seen it all” frol the Lars Von Trier film Dancer in the Dark

Gutter Twins (Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli)- Idle Hands

Fuck Buttons- Sweet love for Planet Earth (I am in love with this band right now)

Goodbyes- Dave X Drops some 8 bit hottness

I think that my brother has come up with a playlist for the Sweet Action Radio Hour! I gave him a certificate for Christmas that entitled him to be a guest of honor on the show. I did this partially because I was hard broke, but also because I figured everyone would like to be able what is played on the radio at some point or another, and he has been the one to turn me on to more than one cool band-

Also I think my friend Scotty is bringing some vinyl to spin later in the night too.

But just like Jesus rolls rocks away we rock roll away the undefined time betwixt and between Friday night’s debauchery and Saturday morning’s cartoons same as ever, get a little stupid fresh in the studio and engage in plenty of fabulous fuckups (pardonnez-moi l’francais).

DIG IT CATS AND KITTIES, DIG IT DEEP. 

Here is the playlist, which you may need as a roadmap because my shades of sleep deprived confusion cause a conflict between what is actually playing versus what I say is playing:

Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela.
This is the story of the attempted coup and destruction of the peoples government early in this decade. The Military High Command, The Corporate Sector, and our own CIA were involved but the people were able to take their country back.
Some Irish film makers were there when this all went down (to do a story about Chavez’s life) and they ended up capturing the entire story first hand at great personal risk.

This is important for everyone to see.
Please make some time and watch this

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
If you were affected by this, you need to check out The Battle Of Chile.
