Glitched Mix 0.01 – Keith Krate / Bunkbed – Station IDs, Demos, CD Tracks & More
Keith Krate
July 15, 1971 – September 21, 2002.
They say that music is the window to your soul. If that’s the case then Keith Krate was the greatest window washer i have ever known.
Keith, more than any other person, opened my eyes and ears to new (and new to me) music. He had the same level of excitement for a lo-fi indie rock 7″ as he did for old favorites from KISS or the rarest variant slab of vinyl from Coil. He showed me that liking industrial and indie rock weren’t mutually exclusive… neither was liking synth pop and death metal. Keith was the person who showed me that “you got chocolate in my peanut butter / you got peanut butter in my chocolate” could be and usually was a good thing.
I owe more to the influence of Keith Krate than to any other person and i miss him dearly. This podcast is a tribute to Keith and his ability to inspire people through music.
Keith died in September of 2002, but he didn’t leave unnoticed or unloved.
These inaugural podcasts are being launched on what would have been Keith’s 37th birthday. July 15, 2008.
The first mix in this podcast is basically the “public face” of Keith AKA Bunkbed AKA Mr. Munchichi (his DJ name on KSCU Radio in Santa Clara, California).
In addition to a few tracks from the two Bunkbed CDs i have also included the full Bunkbed demo and after a bit of digging through tape i found the masters for some of keith’s Radio IDs from Elizabeth from the Cocteau Twins, Elliott Smith, Dominique Durand from Ivy, and an extremely charming ID from the band That Dog. As an added treat there are also a few vintage tracks from Blonde Redhead live in the studio at KSCU with a dedication of Jet Star for Keith (who was manning the DJ console).
