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...

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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."

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

relatively unspoiled classics from those times and places, some well known,
some not so.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 dots

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.

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 report The time in ten minutes.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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 kidding

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
