This is a fresh feature on the blog where, instead of just the regular monthly NC mixtapes, you can hear mixes that some of our favorite artists put together for us. This time it's Transformation Surprise, the solo project of Mary Pearson from High Places.

Regarding the theme of the mixtape she says it's "music that inspires my solo music by process and intent. This is the kind of stuff I listen to when my inspiration well is running a little dry."
Maybe you'll find it inspiring too. Who'd have thought Underworld and Cat Power would go so well together?

NC GUEST MIX #2: TRANSFORMATION SURPRISE

01. Tom Waits - Hoist That Rag
02. Bow Ribbons - Let Me Down Easy
03. Underworld - Something Like a Mama
04. Cat Power - I Don't Blame You
05. Portishead - Hunter
06. Buffy Sainte-Marie - He's a Keeper of the Fire
07. The Dead Weather - I Cut Like A Buffalo
08. Marnie Stern - Patterns Of A Diamond Ceiling
09. Broadcast - Tears in the Typing Pool
10. Violeta Parra - De Cuerpo Entero

She hopes to put a release together sometime in 2010 and she also might be doing a film score. We'll keep you posted. Check her out at Myspace.

You guys. It's friday. I'm gonna spend all day in my office listening to the Mountain Goats and playing Desktop Tower Defense. And then tonight: sex party.

OK. That last part isn't true. Tonight is probably going to be "get drunk, play "Left 4 Dead 2," swear at the TV. But maybe I'll feel myself up whilst drunk. That's SORT of a sex party. Right?

High Places Head Spins (extended version) (2008)

from the album 03/07 - 09/07

It goes: "the words you spoke that night, they stroke the core"

It is time to vote in the Festive 50.
So think back ... what new music did you enjoy listening to in 2009?
Then nip over to http://www.dandelionradio.com/festive50.htm and vote



Andrew Morrison:
Andy's 2-hours of audio for November's schedule introduces the pleasures of Pseudo Nippon to the masses, with an exclusively recorded session from this OIB Records act. Andy also showcases new unsigned material from Ay Yo Volcano, Raw Milk, DeadDogInBlackBag, Paradise 9 and Curtis, amongst others. Signed new music includes The Twilight Sad, Dave Swain, Hyperdub Records, Yeti Lane, Sad Day For Puppets and former session guests The Pony Collaboration. There's a shoegazey feel to Scott's Funky Five Minutes, and you'll also be reminded at regular intervals to vote in this year's Festive Fifty listeners' poll!


Jeff Grainger:
Following a furious battle with his PC Jeff managed to cobble together a jam packed 2 hour show. Playing tracks from this months featured albums; Invasion (The Master Alchemist) and dihedral (Alpha Tree) including a selection of acts from last months 'In The City'; Sweet Baboo, Young Rival, Humanizer and Crystal Fighters. from www.mutant-ape.co.uk we have Murder Book, plus Pama International and ...erm Lulu will be joining the fun and November's session is brought to us by the damn fine The Bordellos.
Rounding things off nicely there's more philosophical musings by Professor Alfie Grainger aged 3 and a half.


Marcelle:
What's in a name?

This month Marcelle hasn't made it easy for herself regarding song titles. For example, an exciting 12-inch series on the Raster Noton label has titles like 0607_LV_1_RE'!!
There's also very danceable music from Argentinia ('Trocitos' - another killer song title) and Benin ('Dadje Von O Von Non' - say no more!). Other song title gems: 'Hallay' (from Turkey) and 'Unitel' (from Germany). A calypso artist learns German and a postman is happily singing along with a famous band on a 'cult' Look Back Bore 7-inch (of November 1979).
More new tracks, from the likes of Soom T, tapes, Ebola, The Kabeedies, Jorg, High Places, Shackleton and Soft Circle make Marcelle's November show another exciting and unpredictable journey. There's even a Look Back Bore CASSETTE and two Gift's from God - revisited!!!


Mark Cunliffe:
We move into November like a marmoset on a mobility scooter, with all that speed and then the ability to climb to the top shelf to get at the Complan ...
So this month sees Karen Mukupa making like a marmoset and chasing a rude boy for all she can. Fish'll be struggling to get their crane through it's MOT and Genticorum are flinging in a Belgium stylee. Caspa's come up smelling of roses and Windmill are detonating a sound man, I'm not sure what Windy Miller will think about that!
Drumsound & Bassline Smith are lactating humans and Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers are going stargazing.
You know, they shouldn't let a Spinal Tap loving marmoset loose with a mobility scooter, it's dangerous having a speed dial going up to eleven ...


Mark Whitby:
There are two much-anticipated exclusives for the price of none in Mark's November show: the long-awaited second session from The Pocket Gods and three exclusive tracks from the 'lost' Factory Records album by Miaow.
We're also treated to a glimpse from the new Schuman The Human album, choice cuts from Retrigger, Ras Zacharri and Nadastrom amongst others, along with a timely dip into the festive fifty of thirty years ago and a speculative glance at what might have appeared had there been one ten years earlier.
And Mark also reveals some of the contents of a mysterious bulging bag picked up from a hotel near Manchester Airport...


Matt Jones:
This month's output from Matt is a three hour blast of new tunes and a few older ones chucked in for self indulgence sake. Tune in to hear brand new stuff from Wheeler, Shemian, Cloaks, Nissennenmondai, Jookabox, Sun Araw, Roshi feat Pars Radio, Brian Harnetty, Tickley Feather, Themselves, DJ /rupture, Claro Intelecto, Beat Circus and a new track from the ever mesmeric Jah Wobble.
All this, plus an amazing session from the electronic wizardry of Preston's finest purveyer of brain scrambling bleeps, bass and beats - The one and only Dilworth!


Pete Jackson:
November's show is a right mixed bag of nuts, with new albums from Lime Headed Dog, Fuck Buttons, Part Chimp and A Place to Bury Strangers meeting the less-well-known likes of Ghetto B Boys, Applesauce Tears and Barbara's Straight Son. Pete starts a new regular feature celebrating the hardcore punk explosion of the late 80s with a band named after a seasonal illness, we've a couple of great new releases from Sacred Bones Records and there's a decidedly German feel to cover versions from Katsen and Vibravoid.


Rocker:
As usual this month we have a packed three-hour show. There are new tracks from The Monorals; Babalon Anon; The Lovely Eggs; The Pains of Being Pure at Heart; The Cubical; Emmy the Great; Violet Violet; Vivian Girls; Thom Yorke; mike downey; Vowels; The Flaming Lips; and PENS.
There's new electronica from Matzak, and Claude VonStroke, and a killer remix of Alan Fitzpatrick's "Reflections" by Petar Dundov; also new tracks by both Burial and Martyn from the "5 Years Of Hyperdub" compilation, as well as some Russian dubstep which I am sure was named in honour of your fat DJ.
This month's Peel's Big 45 is by a British guitar band from 1965 on Decca, while this month's Educating Elizabeth is singularly a cover of a hit record, an instrumental, and a 2009 recording.
In a departure for Dandelion Radio, there's also some contemporary poetry, in the form of several tracks from the live album by the Black Country's finest, Long lost Frank.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Nicolas Matuszczak, aka Matzak, is a French pharmacist.


Simon Hickinbotham:
It's great to be back with a new show, even if its only for one hour. I'll be playing a whole bunch of new stuff I've found over the past couple of months, including stuff from Moolah Temple $tring Band, Bankai, B Eitan, Alien Hand, She Moved Through The Fair, Gum, and Orange Box.
Thanks for listening!


Ste McCabe:
In November on Dandelion I finally stop dragging my feet and bring you my first ever two-hour show, which proves surely to be my best yet! As I make my way through fake lambrini and smartprice tea (not at the same time), I debate and play all kinds of joys from current queer underground stars such as drunk granny, Gravy Train!!!!! and Husbands, outstanding alternative female energy from Das Wanderlust, Hotpants Romance and Death of the Elephant, as well as 90's classic grrrl punk rock from Bikini Kill and Sister George. I also give a special dedication to the late, great Kirsty MacColl who would have turned 50 just before November and play an under-rated classic from the wonderful lady herself. Enjoy!

New High Places single and video! I Was Born single is out now on Thrill Jockey, just in time for Halloween. "I Was Born also marks the creation of High Places' first official video. The piece was filmed, styled, edited and conceived by Barber and Pearson, and shows their affinity for pairing aural and visual art. " Neat. The song brings quite a shift in sound, check it out:
...
The band will also release another single and video and then release both new tracks on a 12" ,with some remixes. "A new full-length set for release in the spring..." Alright!
