Show Notes

This is the second episode in this set of 1-hour re-broadcasts. All of these sounds that you’ll be hearing were originally broadcast in October and November of 1988, somewhere in the middle of the night. During this period, I was making lots of background audio tapes of radios and TV flipping from channel to channel. Enjoying the static and fragmented dialogs along with pieces of popular mass media bouncing source to source. A lot of this was noise, sometimes very sweet noise, sometimes not. I would use these as sound beds, layering more and more into them, like a visual collage.

The guy just said that I don't know. It's quarter to three in the morning. Expect me to remember these things. I don't want to expect you to remember these things. One thing I do expect you to remember though, is that Tuesday is election day. Get your butt out there and vote very important. If you don't vote, you have no reason to gripe or complain, which I'm sure you will. If you don't only takes about 15% of this country to elect a president. So figure you might as well vote.
