Napalm Abortions

No.192, aired November 7, 2012. Primer episode for Dayglo Abortions / Napalm Death concert at the Riddell Centre, with poetry by Maggie O'Sullivan and musique concrete by THF Drenching. Set lists for both bands below. 

For the Dayglo Abortions setlist, I am relying on an Internet report of a recent concert where they played either the same set or very close to it. Mitch Harris, guitarist for Napalm Death handed me his copy of the set list after the show.

Pseudo-Cyclical Time, Consuming

Aired September 19, 2012, with more readings from the “Spectacular Time” chapter of Debord’s Society of The Spectacle (Theses 150-154), and more from H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine audiobook. Further reflections, under the spell of Debord’s incisive theses, of how Wells’ narrator can only empathize with the human form in leisure (the Eloi), not in labour (the Morlocks). The narrator tours a future spectacle of decaying remnants in a museum, and finds himself in his “own element” when among a display of ancient machines. Nevertheless, he reflects on the “great precessional cycles” of nature and feels comforted by the “same tattered streamer of star-dust as of yore” that is the Milky Way. Best quote, fighting its way out of the guitar & sax Punk-Jazz of Jaworzyn/Wilkinson: “In the universal decay, this volatile substance had chance to survive.”
