Hatiyar - Finding FM Channel

from #48 - Split with Hatiyar by The Owl

lyrics

really like Hatiyar's titles here. 'Finding FM Channel' for me is especially perfect. I told him (and now I am telling you) about growing up with a small radio alarm clock that I used to hide under my pillow when I went to bed, and was as fascinated by the sounds in between the channels as the 'proper' songs I found, and even as an 8 or 9 year old, I would often 'play' these sounds, moving the dial fractionally to get slightly different noises, then moving them back.

Anyone else?

It was on this radio that I first discovered the John Peel and the Late Night Rock Shows on BBC Radio 1, as well as a few channels in Europe that I have no idea of the name of, that were playing weird alternative music, prog rock, minimal electronic stuff, and I know this all played a major part in where I am 35-40 years later in life, especially if you add in listening to the loading noises on the ZX Spectrum games.

Finding 'songs' or 'riffs' in noise. It's always been my thing (sure some of the trve noise people will scoff at this), so, it made me happy when I saw this title, and the track itself felt like it was a nod to that sort of feeling and discovery. Even if it wasn't, it's interesting what other people's songs and titles can conjure up in your own mind.
