View Rich in Washington's profile |
The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

I wish I could recover my memory and the broadcast of what I believe was very early Wall of Voodoo on KROQ, pre-LP, when they went by the name Mur do Son, Wall of Sound.

I got it home and played it at the wrong speed (because it said 69 RPM on the label). I was confused but I loved it so much.

Oh yes, I love "John E. Smoke." Might be my fave song on the album. I think I played a bootleg version of it on my Thanksgibby show.

Yeah, I'm antiocularcentric. Images are mostly unimportant to me. I'm bored by film. Compare, however, paintings, which are as much tactile as they are visual.

Thank you Rich.

-- He spent a year in an 11' x 6' cage without reading, writing or speaking
-- He spent a year in Manhattan where he never went into an enclosed space (building, car, subway, tent etc.)
-- He spent a year where he punched a time clock every hour on the hour
-- He spent a year tethered by an 8-foot rope to another artist, and they never touched each other.
-- For his last year-long piece, he didn't view, think about or create art.

I'd forgotten that Routh had died. I used to watch the other Harry on local SoCal tv. He was an investment broker (by day) a complete lunatic by night, and remains Bette Midler's husband.

"Seeing as" troubles me. Acts of service are acts of service. My seeing one or another act as such an act seems not right, confusing. I might see it as such an act, but what if it isn't?

Worth a look.
