Breaking out of whatever ruts I've self-imposed, I went heavy on the live audio collagisizing this week, utilizing a couple of Negativland's (actually, Neagtivland member Don Joyce's) Over the Edge radio programs, a bunch of sound effects records, random superimpositions and a six-second-long Paul Westerberg song. Whereas the last show wound up sounding a lot better than it felt programming it, I have the feeling this one is a friggin' mess to hear. But the most fun I've had in quite a while doing this thing nonetheless. So I'll take it. (R.I.P. Mitch Mitchell.)

AM I GETTING TIRED OF DOING THIS SHOW?:
Man, I'm feelin' mighty uninspired tonight. Or maybe I need sleep. Or shouldn't have eaten just before the show. That would account for the sloppiness, the repeats of previously-played songs, and the who the fuck cares you self-consciously self-aggrandizing walking whitehead nobody's reading this blog much less listening to your fucking show and putting up with your weak-ass musical taste anyway. Or maybe I'm just bummed that Jimmy Carl Black is dead. Eh.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING FUNNY TO PUT HERE...
...which is more or less keeping in line with the show I, and my friends Slab and Don, just did. Oh, we had a hell of a lot of fun, no question, and we're all three reasonably talented performers when the tides are right, but once again I/we made the error of thinking that coming up with funny stuff off the top of my/our heads without any preparation whatsoever is a lot easier than it actually is. At one point, we rambled aimlessly enough that we got a call - on air - from our program director telling us to play some damn music already. Great guys, though. We'll nail it next time.
