The Chiang Rai Alternative Hour #55 – 12th September 2020

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

From now I’m going to tell you that these selections are highly curated, carefully selected and specifically ordered for your listening edification by world-renowned DJtenzenmen.

I tell you this because these kinds of things sell!

The truth is that the music is randomly selected by iTunes – but as the iTunes library is already carefully selected with only the best top quality material from 50 years of research then satisfaction is surely guaranteed!

This week there’s music from Shield Your Eyes, Cecil Buffalo and the Prophets, DJ PicaPicaPica, Invisible Ghost Luigi, Mutants, Butthole Surfers, PFM, Sun City Girls, Gelbart, Ne Zhdali, The Freeze, Massacre, Cypress Hill, Deep Turtle and Orthrelm.

Intro and background music by Utotem.

Ride around MFU placing stickers – advertising podcast – my stickers are tiny – maybe some people will see, will notice
Utopia this morning – met Pim, Fern’s friend
Woke up late – decided to turn off alarm in the middle of the night – My plan schedule now out of whack
Soon I will read Hendrix – Maybe sort out some more music – Do yoga – Meditating – some more reading – Maybe record some more podcasts in the evening
Try to relax
Teaching English online – I don’t look forward to it but enjoy it when it happens

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful for my cracking neck these days. Hopefully, it is cracking more because it is becoming more flexible with doing more stretching and yoga. It feels sore but better than before.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful for my computer. It enables me to do so many things. I wonder if I could live without it? Of course, I could but I don’t think I want to.

To-do list

  • More 1994ever ✅
  • Record TCRAH – spend time on this one ✅
  • Watch less TV today ✅
  • More drawing

Today is Tuesday. I haven’t been writing in here because I have gotten myself absorbed in some good TV and by the time I come to bed it’s too late to turn on the light and write.

I feel like things are coming together more in my room – nearly got all the CDs in their cases – after more than two years! Now I’m trying to get rid of the CDRs and thinking about all the DVDs I have and what to do with them.

I’m hoping to keep up with all the backlog of 1994ever and other bits and pieces of writing. It’s been enjoyable to go through all those, thinking about the past. It still feels like it happened to someone else. Even brief glimpses of mundane things pop into my head and it makes me think about what times and events that I’m part of now will pop into my mind in the future.

Life feels quite mundane and predictable though I also feel quite happy and content.

Reading Festival – 26th August 1994

8th January 2024 – I don’t think I made it to the main stage on this day though probably glimpsed it in passing. I do wish I’d been into Cypress Hill back then though as that would have been great fun. I do remember seeing Sebadoh though and Lou getting emotional and cranky, smashing his guitar. Courtney Love was looking on from the side and I think comforted him and I thought to myself, ‘Fucking hell, please stay away from Lou!’

What I mainly remember from this event was sleeping in the Mini van, with my legs sticking out the open doors as it was so small. I think I had stuffed a mattress in there. I also brought an extra car battery which I hooked up to the car stereo and extended the speakers onto the car roof so that everyone could enjoy Die Kreuzen at full blast whilst I drunkenly gyrated on the bonnet.

After the musical acts finished at the festival and people returned to their tents I blasted Church of the SubGenius tapes for the benefit of those passing by tripping out of their minds. This felt a little like my last hooray, hanging out and drinking and dancing with the Southampton crew.
