The IMF Swallowed The Sun.

No.232, aired October 9, 2013, with more of Stephen Lewis’s audiobook Race Against Time, a sobering memoir of economic policy creating poverty, debt & pandemic in Africa. In the first half Lewis’s earnest orations are set against 3 tracks from Battle Maximus, the new album by GWAR. The second half featured poems by Michael Farrell from Forward Slash (“/”) – a journal of contemporary Canadian & Australian poetry published by Black Rider Press & edited by Matthew Hall & Jeremy Balius, accompanied by Medium II, an early work by Romanian Spectralist Iancu Dumitrescu. Dumitrescu’s work-outs on upright bass recall the material base of the word “medium” – the high school physics lessons where energy was observed travelling thru strings of different lengths, an avenue of scientific inquiry pursued by countless string musicians across the stretched elastic eons.

RADIOTHON 2013

No.231, aired October 2, 2013. Includes readings and vocal-gestural interpretations of Out To Lunch’s Smooch Tentet Resolve (Veer, 2010). I only realized during the live playing of this episode back that aside from my Radiothon plugs, the 2nd half of the program, on the topic of how great it is to be alive, contains two exhortations to the telephone - Storm Large advises would-be television talk-show participants to call 1-800-LUCIFER; later, the Mothers of Invention provide 2 phone numbers to their own audience of “consenting adults.”
