Joy Merten (Into the Void) writesCHIRP Radio welcomes Jenny Hval to Constellation on Thursday Sept. 3rd!
CHIRP Radio welcomes Norwegian artist Jenny Hval to Constellation on Thursday, September 3rd. Jenny Hval is on tour supporting her latest release, the intimate and challenging album Apocalypse, Girl. Her latest work has been synth-based and has pop tinges, but stands firmly in the experimental camp, none of it straightforward and all of it anchored by Hval’s lyrical prowess.
Hval’s work explores religion, feminism and the self, and her live show promises to do more of the same. She and her band have been performing in long, colored wigs as part of their show. Hval told Pitchfork, "It makes me feel so conflicted to wear [the wig], and I believe showing a conflicted person onstage is actually really interesting and emotionally engaging.” Vocalist and composer Briana Marela will open the show.

Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesFriday MP3 Shuffle: Happy Birthday Joe Strummer Edition
Today we wish a posthumous Happy Birthday to Joe Strummer, co-founder and lead singer of The Clash. Starting out in the '70s UK Punk scene, the band's global reach was in the music, as they incorporated Reggae, Ska, Dub, Rockabilly and Funk into their sound. London Calling and Combat Rock put the band at the top of the charts, with Strummer's politically charged lyrics and musical influences inspired people looking to express themselves socially and artistically. Celebrate his birthday by taking your MP3 player, pressing the "shuffle" button, and sharing the first 10 songs you hear:
