Break Iron Walls, Draw Tawdry Curtains

No.220, aired June 26, 2013. A belated summer solstice episode, with more passages from the Book of Ezekiel (Commuters Audio Bible) and readings from Cosmic Orgasm: The Music Of Iancu Dumitrescu, a new book from Unkant Press edited by Andy Wilson. 

The title of this episode comes from three quotes, the first of which is from the AMM statement by Out To Lunch:

“Blood in your eye! / Our poetry is not evasion, it draws back the tawdry curtain of celebrity and voyeurism which hides capitalism from itself, and from our hungry eyes” (Cosmic Orgasm, 85).

The second is from the Dumitrescu interview:

“The paths of art are infinite! Innumerable! If you divert from this fundamental search, like a simple ‘free’ artist, a thick, opaque, impenetrable wall bars your road” (Cosmic Orgasm, 84).

And the third is from the Book of Ezekiel:

“Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel” (4:3).
