The Chopping Channel
(Feb. '01)
Wobbly, The Jet Black Hair People, Yasuhiro Otani, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The Chopping Channel congregates once again around Otani from Japan, to sell our music as we chop it, by the inch, by the yard, or by the pound. Not to be confused with previous offers, slashed by the bar or by the stanza, segmentally indexed and available as it happens. Our best deal since fair use got expanded. All tunes, all words, or combination packets, unopened and sealed at the factory. Chopping Channel sources will never diminish, but supplies might. Don't let this go by...

MoonRock Footnotes #15
(Mar. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Jack Queenking, ace detective gets the call from the past that thrusts him into The last Roundup Black Hole Tube as a bounty hunter hired to bring out Shred Ralston, dead or alive. "Just like having your electricity shut off for the rest of your life." This episode includes a brief cameo appearance by Whisper Johnson's fabled steam powered air ship and Bat Mix accompanying his dancing horse, Robin, on his portable multi track music exheezer. And who is Dr. Twixo? Tune in next week, same time, same station. 19th Century transinfiltration at its finest.

19th And 20th
(Mar. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
We begin in one century and end up in another, neither one of which is this one. Travel the robbing range with Jessie James as related by someone who was there, followed by Edison, magnetic recording, and World War II. Folk Propaganda from one century is carried on as audio production and radio broadcasting in the next. Lots of recordings from the '40s depict the war and its audio combatants with an emphasis on Nazi broadcasts to America and the songs we came back with. Five hours.

Illumination
(Apr. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
Witchcraft from the mouths of Inquisitors, bloodlines going back to Nimrod, these families now control minds. Trauma based mind control from childhood, and it's close association with ancient Satanism. 19th Century racial bloodline mysticism produces the Nazis, an occult philosophy of racial superiority. Belson survivors days after liberation. Several mind control victims happen to be multiple personalities, some of whom carry out brain wired operations for the Illuminati New Order. Created, they say, by Nazi doctors and now Illuminati satanic parent controlers.... Sex with Reptillions! The home of Black Metal! HELL, that's enough for now. But no - subbing for Puzzling Evidence I hang on to the waves for another two hours with Dr. Howl as we discuss... Oh, I forget... the walls of amnesia? Five hours.

Not Broadcast Quality
(May '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Emphasizing a lot of tapes from the home made cassette audio era, we explore the lo-fi unheard and unhearable, most all of a Negativland 2000 tour broadcast made at WNUR, (Evanston, Illinois), Hoax's "central Europe" DJ, Pastor Dick on the bottle, Linda McCartney, and so much more not-broadcast-quality material and noise we don't know where to stop, or start. We had to turn the Receptacle upside down and shake out the contents stuck on the bottom after this one. 3 Hours.

The Chopping Channel
(May '01)
Wobbly, The Jet Black Hair People, The Weatherman, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
5 hours of music for sale all distinctively chopped and packaged for on the go listening by today's modern consumer. We jam through all the styles now available, popular and not, with the ever inventive Weatherman in the Weatherman's Home Made Music Corner. He demonstrates several ways to get sounds out of common household utensils and appliances, from TV remotes to bicycle horns in water to shampoo bottles. The Chopping Channel is also graced with a very special club soda break in which the Weatherman performs a consumer test of various new "designer" mints against the usual Altoids which he consumes in combination with his famous club soda during every club soda break. And all the rest of the show is even more exciting. This extensive mix represents everything modern music has been reduced to and more.

Pure Vinyl
(June '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A show all about how when a functional technology becomes obsolete, it can then start becoming art. Beginning with a little history of the phonograph and how to unpack your turntable, we scratch through the old world of Hi-Fi, stereo, and the platters it came on, mixed with many remixed examples of how this surface bound "sound writing" has entered into the digital age in the form of cut-up nostalgia. We hear from the Accutrac 4000 computerized turntable, Bob and Ray, John Oswald, Christian Marclay, the History of Rock & Roll with Jumpin' Jack Jackson, and several 50s/60s promotional records touting the "new" sound sweeping the world on vinyl, including a lost Motorola classic with Jonathan Winters, as well as the latest in vinyl-filled CD music. This one just keeps spinning and jumpin' with clicks, scratches, and surface noise.

The Black Death Debate
(June '01)
Richard Lyons, Russ Schoenwetter, Peter Conheim, David Wills, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Negativland's Pastor Dick and Harold Camping of Family Radio fame join in debate with Black/Death Metal collector, Santo Gold, the Weatherman, and host, Bub Beasely, as we expose this world of occult guitar noise and argue its merits for today's teenagers. Dayle Embry reads Black/Death Metal lyrics, Harold does the math, Bibles are quoted, and the music wails. Pastor Dick interviews the Weartherman, while he dips his microphone in club soda, concerning his intimate involvement in a real life mass murder which was committed by someone he shared Goth records with. Callers join this crucial sociological debate, along with some actual exorcisms to the Satanic strains of Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, and Speed Metal music from Scandinavia, Europe, and America. A must hear for everyone afraid of music.

The Devil's Workshop
(June '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
An unexpected 5 hour show. Carrying on the enormous burden of delivering music from the Devil, himself, we carry over more Satanic Black/ Death metal music from last week, as well as the very FIRST meeting of Pastor Dick and Harold Camping via telephone and demonic carbon monoxide, then musical suicide by Judas Priest and the resulting court testimony on devilish musical hypnotism. Subliminal back masking, Demon possession and exorcisms, Rock's lyrics and Rock's sonics as mind altering tools of the devil, Dick Vaughn goes down on the Hellbound Plane live, A.A. Allen dispossesses people of the demonic spirits that possess them inside a tent, as does Bob Larsen in today's brick and morter halls, the belt-wielding parents of the Judas Priest- worshipping kid who lived after shooting off his face with a shotgun, Tiny Tim, and much more. 5 hours.

What Belongs To You?
(July '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Back to the Internet and music with DJ Al Collins on X-Minus One as a DJ on X -Minus One, Napster media debates, and the whole free music thing as it was still occuring! The merging vs. colliding concerns of the record companies, commercialism, and the ability of on line music sharing to subvert them, all together in a shaker of dramatically shaken digital "music."

RoboLife
(Aug. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
3 hours of fiction vs. actuality from the world of robots, past and present. From the 50s' distopian roboservants, to the right around which corner where humans interface with automated tools? Robot toys - conditioning or just plain funny? Junior and Furby - Devil or the deep blue sea? Robot music by robot bands, carefully chopped by their own Fridatronics plug-in reproducement attachments. Receptacle speech patterns all registered as human.

The Trip Report
(Aug. '01)
Mike "The Professor" Anderson, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The professor and I mix three hours of psychedelic research, past and present, then until now. Timothy Leary and his whole contemporary to contemporary again stream and flow of followers and teacher/experimenters in psycho-engendered perceptual transitions, and they all keep on rockin' on till now, when there is renewed interest spurred by the Internet, in public trip reports on the rapidly expanding pallet of non-scheduled psycho-active ingestibles. And all the already illegal stuff too. Mind expanding.

Edited MP3's of the "Trip Report" shows are available from co-creator, Mike Anderson at: http://nvo.com/cd/trip

Future Love
(Aug. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A show mixing mostly 50s love songs, mostly 50s romantic science fiction music, and some similar themes in four 50s science fiction story's from X-Minus One, plus receptacle players who appear to be marooned in space with a telephone. Mood: Soft. Pace: Slow. Funny: Sometimes. Other: Yes. What: Audio romantics.

Faith Of Our Fathers I
(Oct. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
For the entire month of October, as the Muslim Holy War against America mounts, we take a critical look at organized religion and all it has spawned. Spread through it all is a science fiction tale in which, over generations, the inhabitants of an interstellar ship have come to worship their own ship as a religion. Rationality verses faith in Catholic dogma is debated, especially its sexist mania for virginity and its general sexual repression, examples of some of the more ludicrous and dangerous manefestations of religious belief, especially among fundamentalist fanatics, and lots of religiously skeptacle songs providing the spice. Belief exposed as a culturally determined phenomenon vs. the unmovable "knowledge" of regional faiths, and how both science and skepticism fit into these intellectual envelopes. Christianity is not the only stupid one.

Faith Of Our Fathers II
(Oct. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Part two kicks off Crosley Bendix when he reviews all religion at once instead of one at a time like UMN management agreed to. But you don't know about this yet. We continue with debating Catholics, The Church Triumphant, Biblical fiction, serpent handlers, a big cloud of Noble Gas, Mother Mary's Prophet, The Numbers man vs. Larry King, preachers galore, and music too.

Faith Of Our Fathers III
(Oct. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Part three is the Halloween edition, with the Inquisition on Witchcraft, Detailed Satanic influences in the Harry Potter books, A former satanic cult leader turned Christian explains Halloween, and the debate over God concepts continues, as well as Biblical prophecy dragging the world through Mid East Hell just like it said it would, as well as not much nicer stories from the Bible, the pagan pantheon of the dark side, and more. Fun for the whole family of man.

The Return Of Total Radio
(Nov. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The CD release of "Dick Vaughn's Moribund music Of The 70s" produces this retro look at Dick's various music formats from the 80s, with cuts from the double CD, and various unreleased material from his other attempts at music formats from that era like Total Radio. The stellar carreer of Dick Vaughn is traced through phone pranks from his living room all the way to his culminating position as a leading air personality for The Universal Media Netweb. Then he died a horrible death in a plane crash and the tributes commenced. There's was no radio like Total Radio.

All Art Radio : Up For Grabs
(Nov. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
5 hours of art that grabs and some that doesn't, from the earliest cave men and their women interns doing radio shows without batteries from remote cave wall exhibitions, to Elizabethan times with their sanctioned court jesters, and our modern answer to all that, movies. This is the entire theatrical history of wo-man, right up to David Lean and David Lynch. The soundtrack to Jill Sharpe's Culture Jam film pops in throughout, including the Billboard Liberation Front and Reverend Billy, along with the cultural wars from talk radio's talking voices, Joey Scaggs, Rauschenburg, AI theory, lots of callers, and Maya Angelo.

Up For Grabs Again
(Dec. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A second, more secular version of this attitude as art & music seep into the grip of popular culture. Howard Cosell goes over the edge, completely out of time to begin the show, Negativland's "These Guys..." and "Dead Dog Records" are intermixed at the core of music wars, culture wars, Robert Rauschenberg's combines, more cinematic culture jamming, George Harrison's lost single about his lawsuit, "This Song," Roger Waters live, Manet's shocking "Olympia," Bob Dylan, Crosley Bendix, and a completely up for grabs receptacle all night.

Christmas Up For Grabs
(Dec. '01)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Continuing this well worn theme in the glint of Christmas. Call it a meal, call it leftovers, there's some very interesting mixing here, combining general culture wars and culture jamming, double Koyaanisquatsis, violence in rap music, A 50s sci-fi honeymoon in Hell, Russian music pirates, the state of record stores in the download age, More Manet and Rauschenberg again, all kinds of Christmas music made out of other Christmas music, and receptacle receiving throughout.

2002

Security Net
(Jan. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Electronical mixing with the whole idea of digital security. Conclusion? "This technology cannot be secured, that's a fact." Including vast personal data bases for sale, encryption explanations, stolen identitys, "the music," direct marketers and telemarketers, hackers, and of course, terrorists once a younger generation of fanatics rise to power who are familiar with how to cause digital disasters, and if you tell anyone I told you this, I'll have to kill you. All phone calls were monitored on a random basis for security purposes.

The Trip Receptacle
(Jan. '02)
Mike Anderson, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The Professor and I focus in on the trip report as invited and mixed by receptacle programming. Many callers deposit tales from their altered consciousnesses while psychedelic experts, experiencers, and theorists exchange chemical wisdom above a laborynth of musical mazes. Kapra, Grof, Hoffman, Leary, and others bounce between our callers, at least one of whom dropped specifically for this occasion.

Edited MP3's of the "Trip Report" shows are available from co-creator, Mike Anderson at: http://nvo.com/cd/trip

Trip Receptacle II
(Jan. '02)
Mike Anderson, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Back again with what is really the rest of a 6 hour show on psychedelic effects and reports of same from the tripping public at large. The guy who dropped last week has still not felt anyhing yet, and that's just one of the many trip reports I could ruin for you here. Rated F for frank. A scientifically psychedelic mix for the ots.

Sparks
(Jan. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Spinning off with the soundtrack to Craig Baldwin's film, Spectres Of The Spectrum, this is a 5 hour extension of that theme, the exotic and mezmorizing history of electronical invention and intuition. Tessla, Edison, and Marconi join Hemlock Stones, X-Minus One, and Crosley Bendix in illuminating the many ghosts who flew and fly the electro-magnetic spectrum, from Ben Franklin to HARP. Music for electricians, including secret coded girl groups from 1957 right up to Emperor and Opeth. The death ray, from Tessla's conception to 50s science fiction about science fiction during World War II, right up to us. Is it? Only Science In Action knows for sure.

Not Going Anywhere
(Feb. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Sort of a companion to Sparks, this includes some of what was left over and a lot more about not going anywhere. Songs, sounds, and the roads must roll. Science fiction and Tesla's death ray to partical beam technology and Russian cars. Some old radio soap operas, and some interesting female receptical for a change. Lots of action, doesn't move an inch - sort of a time machine for media melodrama and some songs you're trying to remember. This one is relatively indescribable.

Other Airwaves
(Feb. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Dr. Oslow Noway hosts a new UMN test broadcast being monitored in Oslow Norway by a focus group of Norwegians in order to tweak it's international appeal for future world wide distribution. This focus group calls in from Norway, and so do a lot of Americans. The subject is the only form of American entertainment the rest of the world has never heard, amateur radio - CB, short wave hams, and pirate radio. The sound of the original people's mediums, now fading in the new light of the internet, with many flavors being foreign ones. If this works, I think we're in like Quizzling.

Doubles
(Mar. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Omer D. and Omer T. combine talents to host a mix of duplicitous nature. Human replicas as stand-ins for unhappy husbands occupy the minds of several 50s science fiction writers, whose radio works are acted out here. Marionettes Inc. meets George Prime on Shatterday, both saying, "Is That You Sam?" Modern cloning is occasionally discussed, and callers join in by twos. Songs for all double occasions round out this dualistic show.

The Return Of Freddy McGuire
(Mar. '02)
Ann McGuire, Wobbly, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Hopefully amusing technical difficulties plague this carefully planned beginning about Freddy McGuire preparing for her triple hemisphere world tour by joining Crosley Bendix and Wobbly in the Dead Dog production studios to record her second CD. A show made entirely of song takes, sampled music, and people making records both live and recorded. Awash in paper and only one bottle of vodka to finish, Freddy sings some old favorites as well as some modern originals, surprising everyone with her professional cough and sing technique tuned like a delicate flower, which then disappears as in winter, and a wash of record making moments, industrial show music (how Freddy got her start), record label criminals moving in for the kill, and the all new spectacularized sound of Dead Dog's alternative "home made" lounge machine continues into the night.

Complex Numbers
(Apr. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Most of the Glass Einstein On The Beach in various combinations backs up Arthur C. Clarke on fractal geometry and the 9 billion names of God, William Shatner trying to grasp the X-logic of his kids, Steven Hawking and his lack holes, X-Minus One's youngsters discover educational alternative logic toys from the future, and a lot of other numbers about about numbers in audio Mandlebrot sets.

Arabian Night
(Apr. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
With a lot of material culled from the day's media, we finally approach the subject of fundamentalist Islam and it's effect on the Mid East and the rest of the world. Included in this is the history of fundamentalist radicalism as it emerged in modern Moslem beliefs, the roles of Islam in Iran and Egypt, various Islamic pundits and scholars on what it is and why it is, the mentality of suicide bombers, a look at the viability of theocracy and religion in general in the modern world, and welcome to Israel.

24 Frames Per Second II
(May. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
This is the second in a month long series of mixes made out of and all about movies. This one covers "Rebel Without A Cause" to the tune of Link Wray, a little opus of music, analysis, horses, and guns from the western genre, and an extended mix of era spanning horror music and dialog with Boris Karloff at the center. This series takes on movies from the entire history of film making, along with the directors who make them and the critics who view them, throws them all in the same pot, and stirs. 3 hours.

24 Frames Per Second III
(May. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
This is a special unscheduled 5 hour show continuing our audio trip through the movies. Beginning with an extended mix about the making of The Wizard Of Oz in 1938 combined with the concurrent Nazi rise to power, Triumph Of The Will, and The Sound Of Music's setting in Nazi Austria. The mix stays with war and shifts in time to remix Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Blackhawk Down, and two of the three directors describing how they were made. Moving on to finish up with old and new Film Noir, and David Lynch on his own film making process in particular. 5 hours.

24 Frames Per Second IV
(May. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
5 hours of movie mania again as expressed by cinematic ex-spurts, Sydney Plankman, Howard St. Devol, and Wick Milford from L.A. Crosley Bendix grills these so called "top spurt" critics in a tone of harrassment not seen in a debate such as this since McGlaughlan's boat fight scene in Mondango. TV enters the big picture of film history, as soundtracks old and knew speed by in a rolling pan from time traveling roller skates. We feature a brand new Criterian DVD of Citizen Kane, and our guests also apear on that DVD with insightful commentary on the 1938 production which they were practically responsible for. Hot on those heels is FlickQuest, a contest in guessing movies by their promos, minus the titles. Special thanks to Joseph Cotton for appearing in both Citizen Kane and FlickQuest tonight. Ethel Merman, The Little Mermaid, and A Piece A Pie round out this frank live discussion. 5 hours.

Who Is The Mystery DJ
(June '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A show with lots of 50s to mid 60s rock & roll that made the history of deejaying great. According to automated autoschematic print outs, the show progresses through 50s/60s radio IDs and jingle strategy, top jock sound bites from the day, and a range of songs that, if they didn't appear in the playlists of their day, should have, along with many more that did. Finishing up with a tribute to Radio Caroline beaming early 60s UK R&R all across Europe from pirate waters. The show is interrupted only by the Night Manager from KPFA's security cubicle who is the only one available to do the IDs, so we don't know where this show was coming from... But next week is part II. 3 Hours.

Who Is The Mystery DJ? part 2
(June '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
KPFA's Security cubicle announcer again hosts part 2, sans DJ, and this time one of the most popular programs from nowhere covers the late 60s radio possibilities, concentrating for long stretches on San Francisco Bay Area music from the middle to the end of the 60s. A good collection of relatively unspoiled classics from those times and places, some well known, some not so. 3 Hours.

Hunting
(Aug. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A show of mixed hunting stories, real and fictional, ranging from dinosaur hunting with a time machine, a trap that receives alien creatures from somewhere else, big game tips from bow hunter Fred Bear, and of course, hunting other people under the auspices of the Emotional Catharsis Dept. We also discuss the subject on the phone, awash in animal sounds. 3 Hours.

God Nose Runs Again
(Aug. '02)
Vinnie Perozzi, guitar & bass. Tristen Gittens, guitar & bass. Duncan Draper, Piano, drums, & keyboard. Stephen Ronan, nose. Devin Ross, engineer. Jumpin Jack Jackson as himself.


MP3 CD $13.00
Three 100 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
A 5 hour live performance by Bob Dylan and his all-internet band, God Nose. Bob drops by with his band to fill KPFA's enormous room with live versions of new songs and old. Hosted by veteren disc launcher, Jumpin Jack Jackson, sponsored by Firestone and Pepsi. Rare exposure to the Gospel Nostilaires, even though they couldn't attend, will surely satisfy. BobQuest, a contest in which the public gets to test its knowledge against their skill will not, however.

Joan Baez makes a brief appearance, at least somebody said it was her. Howard Stern interviews Aunt Sally. Person theft at its best, right from the horse's mouth, with lots of live music from God Nose. 5 hours.

Technical Manuals
(Sept. '02)
Everyman, George, Kirby Hooks, the Weatherman, and Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A group of visiting experts tackle any and all questions from callers and we read from some of the most important technical manuals out there today, amid a mix about technical manuals (see Pro Tools technical manual for extended description, including new music by Everyman's The Button and Negativland, page 206, 321, or 19). Computer saturated and full of philosophizing callers with technical problems, some of Deathsentences and other car advice, training English dogs, and copy machines.

Live Wild Why
(Sept. '02)
John Leidecker, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Wobbly is in the pirate houseboat tonight, performing a live version of his computer-assisted composition and now new CD, "Wild Why."

With elements taken entirely from local hip hop broadcasts in the bay area, the 3 hour performance is a kind of micro-edited ghost of Wild 94.9, the clear channel hip hop station right next to KPFA on the bay area dial, commercials and all. And just to get dial surfers even more confused, we take a live satellite feed from the studios of KJR in Seattle, the clear channel "60s & 70s" automated station for that area, from Wobbly's father, Jack Dickabitch, who sends his personal and unique message of congratulations on this, the live premier performance on radio of his son's latest and longest recording.

Baby Is Three
(Sept. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Based around the story, "Baby Is Three," written and read by Theodore Sturgeon. We also mix in parts from the BBC's Cold Lazarus and John Shirley, resulting in a transfomationaly curious electronic tapping of memories, paranormal psychic abilities and events, and the mentally mystical. It doesn't end. See next OTE for the end. So put this on your head first.

Baby Is Three II
(Oct. '02)
People like Us, Wobbly, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Guests PLU and Wobbly drop in for an extended cancellation concert of unexpected music, mixed in this case with an extensified, supercharged completion of the Sturgeon story begun two weeks ago. This is a nice show for all-around modern interest. It's truly a golden age of iritainment for all. We'ld like to give you a free kitchen with this one, but you wont need it because this one cooks all the way through. But chew carefully with your ears.

Deviant Receptacle II
(Oct. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The D.C. beltway snipers were caught in a Caprice yesterday, and as we turn our haggard attention back to our leaders' public war plans, and all the other series of fanatical shocks that life on the edge of the new millenium has apparently become, we talk and sing about deviance. Includes science discussions of how the brain works to form thought, analysis of mental deviance, corporate deviance, social and cultural deviance, sexual deviance, The Marquis De Sade read by Patrick Magee, some old radio science fiction about an emotionally controled society of the future, 2055 to be exact, and a lot of mixed music, songs, and callers to connect all these dotsŠ

The Halloween Bad Trip Report
(Oct. '02)
Mike Anderson, Russ Schoenwitter, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The Professor and Santo Gold join Dexter Surge for a 5 hour Trip Report mix which crosses tales of chemical nightmares from Santo, callers, and expert testimony, with a lot of interrelated Frankenstein audio, including Gods And Monsters, The Bride Of Frankenstein, and Gothic, which notes that the whole Frankenstein business began with mid 1800s drugs that Mary Shelly sampled. And there is absolutely no Edgar Allen Poe in this program to prove the connection. Recurring hardcore Death Metal music and Dr. Jeckle & Mr. Hyde complete this chain saw marriage between drugs and the monsters they bring forth, along with 5 hours of special Halloween spookasonic audio set design.

The Bob and Ray Show
(Nov. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
This large collection of skits and bits from old Bob and Ray radio shows fills three hours with a minimum amount of mixing. And speaking of 50s Mixmasters, this is a good example of stuff available on the Internet only, if you can find it. It's being made available there and if it wasn't, neither would this compilation radio show ever hit the airwaves, because I sure didn't have this stuff and never would have, (Thank you, Ronald Redball) so if you like Bob and Ray on your midnight radio, you can thank all the culturally smart free archives that furtively dot the Internet galaxy. What I add are a few songs from the era these live and improvised programs occurred in. Elwood Pophead is going to stick his head in here now with a sports reportŠ The time in ten minutes.

Apocalypse How?
(Nov. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The constantly conflicting traditions and beliefs of a couple of the world's organized superstitions contribute to an observant look at a world at religious war, apocalypses and all. Islam and Christianity, in the ring, now and forever, going all the way back to Babylon, which is also right back where we are now. Obviously optional until proven, all these religions have assumed just the opposite for ages and they all split up into a multitude of mutually despising factions themselves to pass the time between their foreign religious wars over the centuries. Apocalyptic prophecy shapes both cultures at their fundamentalist foundations, and isn't that jet flying awfully low? I blame God, if there is just one, who originally exposed himself to these two different cultures in two different ways, creating very different impressions, and even though he knew these cultures must meet eventually, didn't seem to care whether we would get along well or not.

No More Weatherman
(Nov. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
The Weatherman has moved to Washington State permanently. There are rumors he's going into rural politics up there. But weather permitting, who knows? But he wont be around to do OTE from now on so this is a live-mixed compilation of many of his performances here and elsewhere, whole and in pieces, broadcast as a going-away tribute to this giant of the Clorox microphone and skilled trainer of toads. From his early beginnings as the Willsaphone Stupid Show to his now securely mature position as lead vocalist with Negativland, California is losing another native son to the great northwest people grab. We all hope he finds what he's looking for. And maybe a paper towel...

The 50's Space Program
(Dec. '02)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
With material entirely recorded during the 1950s, we survey how imagination, pretty good physics, and expectation began to infuse the possibility of space travel into the American psyche during the 50s. From science fiction about life in space ships to executives from the Aerojet Corp. describing their entrance into the business of 50s rockets, a non-stop trip through a warped Disneyland of space speculation during the decade before it became possible.

2003

Art and Theft
(Jan. '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A zippitey doo rippitey mix of music and dialog cut-ups that were all created on a computer, including many new dance mash-ups from the UK, The Grammys speech, Disney's Lincoln getting advice on his takes, Sumner Redstone and his big dick, No Business, Trane Cold, Pirates, Downloading, some zippitey doo rippitey caller contributions, and a continuous musical display of how useful and interesting theft is to art these days.

Art Is Theft
(Jan. '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A 5 hour continuation of the above show three weeks later. Gathering like a fog out on the interstate, this stolen material is forming plans to appear as possible live pieces in Negativland's First Worldwide Tour, NO BUSINESS, like a death sentence, coming soon to a world near you. Sumner "Big Dick" Redstone, Michael Green, Michael Eisner, and Walt Disney speak to the issues from the corporate media window, usable music downloading continues unabated, an animatronics Lincoln speaks through the war window, and much digitally edited music of odd speeds and kinds. Traffic just never lets up, so make sure you've got plenty of gas. It's the graveyard of civilization and what do you want on your tombstone?

Art Or Theft
(Feb. '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A fourth try at gathering together what is ours and organizing it into a stage show. "No Business" will soon be performed by Negativland in Berlin, and let's hope it doesn't bomb in more ways than one. Here, it's coming together, slowly but surely, but surely you're kiddingŠ

Patriotic Finale
(Mar. '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
OTE returns to the air with a comprehensive 5 hour mix of live Deathsentences material, nicely stretched out and summed up, with a lot of altered music mixing to create this week's wartime programming for the whole family, in the Disney tradition.

The Last Patriotic Finale
(Apr. '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $25.00
We raise this sonic flag once more, new and improved as the war in Iraq continues. Walt Disney and his animatronic Lincoln once again drive with their minds through this new desert mix, which includes TV military pundits and lots of callers. They thought we would be running on empty by now but there's plenty of gas here...

Freddy McGuire: Cocktail Music
(Apr. '03)
Anne McGuire, John Leidecker, Don.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Step up to the musical bar with Crosley Bendix and Wobbly and have a listen to this. Freddy Mcguire joins us once again for improvised lyrics to improvised music. As someone pointed out, without cocktails, there would be no cocktail music. But we fill our three hours with sober song after song and all the lyrics that come to mind. Some phone requests are fulfilled, and happy hour becomes three. Lots of mixed up, mashed up music and romantic vocals, chopped, stirred, and served in a dim room where it's raining bubbles.

1965
(May '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
Taking a lot of authentic top 40 radio DJ recordings, along with lots of soft drink spots done by pop bands of the day, all of which was recorded off broadcasts in 1965, I add some songs from 1965 that may or may not have been played on the radio, and you have a simulation of an impossible top 40 show from 1965. A pivotal year of psychic change ranging from Brill Building hits to the British invasion and the pre-grass Beatles, to Dylan at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival going way against the prevailing grain. And a relentless look at how most music was compromised by Coca Cola even then.

Sharing Space
(May '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
On this night of a lunar eclipse, with a CCCP music CD all about the Soviet space program, a TV documentary on same, old radio science fiction about trying to photograph a double lunar eclipse through the telescope of the mars observatory while all the local gambling casinos catering to Earth tourists are going to shoot off fireworks, and "Rigel 9" which concerns contacting, while on a trip to a distant planet, extremely gentle aliens who only sing, and trying to ride callers like crazy monkeys to keep the Russian's first place lunge into space and their subsequent successes and failures alive in minds for another generation.

EthnoEdge
(Jun '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
A CDR from Costa Rican radio producer Wiretapper on racism and religion, Larry Josephson and Leonard Jeffries on the pros and cons of ethnocentric ideology, Lenny Bruce from the night he was busted on stage in Chicago, a black Russian's family story, childhood anger and popularity, and a lot of ruminating throughout on the "mad intellect of democracy" which now needs to have everyone represented as equally as possible in everything that happens. Judgements and objectivity have been suspended. Cultural anarchy is suggested as the effect.

The Spike Jones Show
(Jun '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
We go back 50 years for Mr. Jones in all his whacked out glory remixed here all over again from radio shows and records made in the 40s through the 50s. He had a sampling mentality in 1940, combining sound effects with music, along with vulgar noises, one liners, instrumental jokes, and scripted stand-up surrealism. His band of musical pranksters were also very good musicians and included some memorable musical character actors as well. File under historical avant pop.

Everybody's awareness of Spike and his City Slickers seems to be slight. Here's three hours.

Illegal Music
(Jul '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
To coincide with the Illegal Art exhibit now showing in San Francisco, we delve into the genre of illegal music. In use is the soundtrack from "Willful Infringement," a new DVD by Jed Horovitz about copyright restraints on creativity, and many examples of illegal music making from early 80s sampling and audio collage through contemporary mash-ups. Crooked musical fun for the whole family.

Illegal Music II
(Jul '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
More art as crime, more crime as art. With many, many more examples of illegal music, old and new, we further trip through and stumble right past copyright's restraints on modern creativity like tulips that bloom in the spring. Music attorneys can meditate and fans of cultural criminals can revel in the intellegent audacity sometimes involved. Shortly after this program concluded, the station was not shut down and our signal remained on the air as if nothing had happened; and I hope it still does.

Nothing In Particular
(Aug '03)
Solo.


MP3 CD $13.00
Two 90 cassettes. No N.R. $20.00
This extra edition of OTE finds a quick mix of Standard Oil's high school summary of American History, Tatu, which is genius pop, nuclear crime in Russia, and Dune. These are knitted together, along with callers, in more needling ways than one for three hours.

Also Nothing In Particular
(Aug '03)
Solo.
