Favoriting The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from October 20, 2023 Favoriting

Rich in Washington's avatar View Rich in Washington's profile Favoriting

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

Generally, I do not like music videos, which are so gratuitous and pointless and disengaged from the music. "Sledgehammer" rightly deserves its position in the Pantheon. It's a brilliant achievement.

@UltraD; WIRE lyric site analysis presumes/perhaps more than we bargained for: “Our kidneys are bingos according to this esoteric line of associations…. We are the citizens of a capitalism whose every day existence is spent in an endless orgy of self-butchering, self-cooking, self-serving self-consumption and self-immolation”.

Apparently the lyrics refer to ‘gambling habits’. Great arty lyrics in song ‘Kidney Bingos’.

re post vintage 1970s Wire, I was so thrown by the new transitional sound of Wire 2.0 i wasn’t satisfied until years later as I kept plugging away with each new album. I believe, my ears finally adjusted to their inevitable changes. So it all sounds pretty darn ok by nowadays standards. Still, Nuttin beats-out ‘pink flag’ & ‘chairs missing’ (my fave). Bell/Cup is a worthy spin.

TBH, in the pre-internet world, I had never heard early Wire (but heard their name mentioned often) but was aware of them when they did their comeback (of sorts) in the mid 80s, so didn't think 'the new Wire SUCKS' or anything.

Carla Bley: so brilliant. Twas partial to lesser yet wonderful re-contextualizations on “Mortelle Randonnéel” (French film soundtrack)1983 & “I Hate to Sing”1984. I so wish I collected even more than I already have.

If you want a completely different Bley taste try "Night-Glo", an album of smooth jazz; and she's not just taking the piss, it's pretty awesome

You can get used to speaking on mic. It's kinda scary for some reason. I have a really difficult time doing pre-recorded talk segments for some reason. I guess the chatterbox in me has to be speaking to someone, even if I can't see them.

Wire continued; Hafta try that live-Wire(heh) at Rockpalaast. I also unequivocally recommend their “Peel Sessions” radio broadcast collection. As nearly ALL (of any band) of the Peel Sessions collections are stellar.
