FUCK, FUCK, FUCK...

...Ron Asheton's dead. So's Patrick McGoohan. And Ray Dennis Steckler. I paid tribute to all three tonight, and paid proper homage to our soon-to-be-ex-commander-in-chief. Too bad nobody will ever hear the show, since I neglected to hit the "record" button on the station's CD burner. And that knowledge caused me to royally fuck up the back end of the show. This had better not augur badly for the new year. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Whatever.

NOW THAT ONE WAS FUN, GODDAMMIT:

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.
