Destroy All Cars!

No.226, aired August 7, 2013. Includes a complete reading of a fictional high school essay called “DESTROY ALL CARS” by a novel of the same title by Blake Nelson, plus more readings from Colin Smith’s Carbonated Bippies! and a bit of Georgius Agricola’s De Re Metallia, a classic work of metallurgy.

Here the text I wrote during the first Jaworzyn/Wilkinson track & read out during the second:

The traffic as imagined by Jaworzyn & Wilkinson, unlike in heavy metal, is not the smooth engine hum or muffled street drone, or the stuff of smooth flow, but an abrupt tangle-jangle & plaintiff honks & squeels, it’s the sound of jam traffic & bang traffic & fender benders & bloody blenders & piles-up & smash-ups & victims screaming. This is the systemic violence wreaked on the world by big auto & big oil & all their subsidiaries. No steady drum or cozy guitar fuzz here folks – this is reality.
