A special 2 hour bittersweet What’s This Called?
We say Goodbye to 2016, a year that was itself 365 days full of goodbyes.
Goodbye Joey Casio. Goodbye David Bowie. Alan Vega. Pauline Oliveros. Leonard Cohen. Gilli Smyth (Mother Gong). Bernie Worrell. Richard Lyons (Negativland). Goodbye to more great musicians than we can honor in one show…
In addition to paying tribute to those that have left us, the show features sounds created and released by artists in 2016. Artists who last checked are still with us, including: Uneasy Chairs, Thollem McDonas, Age Coin, Sea Charms, Nocturnal Habits, Azalia Snail, Zach Zinn, Big Business, Kim Gordon, Fischkopf Sinfoniker, Yoko Ono, Bob Bucko Jr…
