Flashback Episode w/ Panopticon Eyelids Sept. 10 2010

The week previous to this episode, Pan Opticon Eyelids entered the CJLO studios to record a live session for The Go-Go Radio Magic Show. During that session the band challenged the notion of a sound-proof studio, resulting in complaints from whoever was broadcasting their show in the next room, resulting in the whole thing almost being shut down. With a sound that refused to be contained, Panopticon Eyelids’ brand of face peeling space psych n’ roll surely bled into that show’s on-air programming…, then down the hall, into the classrooms and throughout NDG.

In this episode, Michel Meunier, Félix Morel, Sébastien Fournier, Asael Robittaille joined us in the studio where the band discussed their beginnings, bonding over improvised noise sessions, using Arcade Fire’s rehearsal space, sucking at the internet, and how Mike Davis’ book City of Quartz: Excavating The Future In Los Angeles partly led them to their band name.

We play songs from the band’s raucous live session and they play a curated selection of songs that they love, including E.L.P, The Savage Republic, Butthole Surfers, Neu!, The Dead C, Boredoms, and more!
