Antifreeze

No.151, aired December 28, 2011, featuring live readings from Cambridge Avant-Garde poet Keston Sutherland’s book Antifreeze, which, bizarrely enough, I discovered was last used for this program on December 29, 2010 – must be something about that book that invokes the end-of-time – or else this is the time of year I start to feel cold (and therefore need antifreeze!).

This was a special episode in that I played all of the remaining tracks from Lungbutter’s classic 37-track CD Available Now that I had never played before on the program, including their 5 “Public Service Announcements.” The end of Available Now features a strange cluster of lyrical themes related to the idea of chemical ingestion & mortality – antifreeze, brainfreeze, mouthwash, birth defect, coroner – fun stuff!
