Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from August 20, 2024 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

Her idea is, what if the reason physics has been stuck for a few decades is because of an irrational preference for "mathematically beautiful' solutions, that don't actually describe reality. She interviews lots of physicists...

I have a KISS-adjacent memory to share: The very first day I was living on my own in my own apartment, I walked down to Safeway to stock up my kitchen. I had to purloin a shopping cart to get it all home. Along the way, I was waylaid by a couple of kids my age, who invited me into their apartment, and proceeded to put on KISS cosplay make-up while listening to KISS. I didn't know them, and I have no idea what I was doing there. But I cleared out as graciously as I could and continued to trundle my groceries to my new apartment.
