Another one from the random file. This one starts in the deeply ridiculous and does a random walk from there. Much spoken word work here: poetry, chanting, documentary. Environmental, atmospheric, soundtracklike music fiercely backs it up. The second half is less wordy than the first, but more dense and layered.

1. PeePee McDooDoo? Seriously?
2. Drum and Bass and Film Noir
3. Drum Solo with Record Manipulation
4. Weatherman One
5. (muffled laughter)
6. Men have dreamed of landing on our moon
7. 80's Soap Music, Hey, What About Me?
   
8. We have placed everything under a layer of foam
9. Maybe it's just that it's AM radio and we're out in the country now like the KLF or something
10. Caw Caw Caw Kong
11. Monks and Frogs
12. Saxophone Busker in Alien Subway
13. Music Box Winds Down
    

Another video for you.

Angie Dickinson does not take any crap.

Excerpts (#8)

Source here. Originally recorded on June 28th, 1996.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. Accolades for the yearly American Football finals pop up in the strangest places, and this place is no exception. However, I simply don't care. I do this to annoy people, and not to profess a deep and abiding love for a "team" (an outmoded abstract concept as they come). Still, the bread and circuses (circii?) beckon; promising scantily clad women advertising disappointingly mundane Internet services, and burly drugged man-children pretending to avoid concussions. One must do as one does.

Enough about that. I should have a twofer this week, as there is a video I'd like to share with you in a later post (maybe around noon? Who knows?). This is another themeless show from the early period.

1. Flute at the moon
2. Bongos and birdsongs
3. Subtle Miami Vice Themes
4. SPLASH (and reprise of the first three)
   
5. Wood Shop Metal Shop
6. FBI Swing Instruction
7. Full Film Noir Treatment
8. I'm a train!
9. Chinese New Year Hovercraft Parade
10. Moderate Rabbit Dragon Roar
11. Meditation on lo-fi bass distortion
12. Movie chase scene with ragtime music
13. And we second line out...
