Inter-Dimensional Music returns to the the airwaves of the Trans-Pecos on Sunday, October 7, 2012 from 9-11p (CST) on KRTS, streaming at marfapublicradio.org or available via Big Bend-based antennae at 93.5FM.
We’ll be doing a tribute show to everyone’s favorite mid-90s New Age soundtrack: music from and inspired by the original PURE MOODS line of dorm room audio aphrodisiacs.
Tune in, turn on, make out.
In a county defined by its silence, the most quiet zone of them all: Welcome Reading Room Marfa.
Oh man … Moebius, aka Jean Giraud. If you don’t know already …
The French graphic novelist and comics legend was like a pervy psychedelic Zelig: He launched the French predecessor of trippy “mature audiences only” comics mag Heavy Metal, Métal Hurlant. Collaborated with Jodorowsky and Michael Moorcock. Did storyboards for Alien, Tron, Willow, The Fifth Element and on and on. His best work — see the Arzach series for starters, or my personal favorite, his “Crystal Portfolio” — is sort of like all the high desert psychedelia parts of Star Wars minus George Lucas’ bummer-nerd trip, or maybe Frank Herbert’s Dune if he’d gone native down in Mexico.
Plus boobs. Dude often slipped into deeply trippy, taboo-violating sexual illustrations in the pages of Métal Hurlant. He also created strange, violent Western comics featuring a character named Lieutenant Blueberry, stories that hold their own in the Peckinpah/Leone/El Topo universe of surreal, brutalist cowboy mythology.
Much of his best work was brought to America by Marvel’s edgy Epic imprint in the late ’80s, and while currently out-of-print these volumes are widely circulated by well-meaning preservationists online. (more…)
Hollander, Chambo and friends prepare the monthly ID Music transmission.

Sorry for the long absence: Hollander and I will be coming back a little more frequently here on the ID Music website if all goes according to plan. To start off with, here’s my setlist from this weekend’s sublime Tonalism happening out at El Cosmico.
Super stoked that everybody was feeling the Dead bootleg. Favorite moment came when OG Houston Synth Guru JD Emmanuel comes up during the opening guitars of “Scarlet Fire” and he’s like, “Phish or Umphrey’s McGee?” Dude is so down. It was an absolute lifetime DJ highlight to provide the bridge between Sun Araw’s undulating free-form meditation soundtrack and JD’s epic healing synth session. Here’s what I played.
