Buying In

Episode 27 explored the relation between what it is and what it buys, with help from Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are, an audiobook written by Rob Walker and performed by Robert Fass. All music played was purchased by myself at the annual CJTR garage sale. Naval Aviation in Audio strives to create tension & conflict with audio material, not unity & identity. It therefore refuses the marketing drive to create identity through purchase. As Samual Beckett wrote, "The danger is in the neatness of idenfications." Notes towards a manifesto.

The greatest "finds" at the sale were two CDs by Dog Eat Dogma, the earlier of which, Dogmachine, represented with 4 tracks in this episode, was given to me as a casette tape by the band's lead singer after their set opening for DOA in 1998, in gratitude for the energy I exhibited in front of the stage, because they seriously rocked. And by a lovely coincidence this show also aired the night before DOA played the Distrikt in Regina once again - which is why the hour ended with 3 DOA classics.
