Been listening to a lot of Beatles isolated multitracks lately, so this was on my mind

I did a funny remix of "Birthday" with the isolated tracks out of synch. I'm working on another one that's in 7/8.

This one at the free103point9 loft was a month before the WFMU show that we started with, so there is some overlap in samples used. But to very different effect, I think.

I was just getting takeaway for lunch and at the taco stand, the counter person kept going "number nine? number nine? number nine?"

Those Hanna-Barbera sound effects trigger weird things in my subconscious. Like I'm gonna get clobbered by something or run in place, unable to contact the ground with my feet or get stuck running in a repeating background.

The Magic Garden was the TV show that first caused me to figure out that TV wasn't real, that Carole and Paula were not actually in my living room, that the entire thing had been a illusion and I'd been deliberately tricked.

There was usually someone back behind me behind some glass sorting some records during the KOOP Austin shows. Sun going down. Creaky wooden floor. Frequent sound of drums coming from downstairs rehearsal studio. Sometimes I used another downstairs room for contact improvisation movement.

At free103point9, during the day, hadn't made a show like this in years. They'd been temporarily a bit electronic/glitchy from 1999-2001. Those had been stage shows. This one was in a public place, but it felt a lot more like being back on the radio...and this came out. I didn't use the mic, though. Resumed talk fun in 2003.
