Favoriting The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from January 26, 2024 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

Raw Power's one of my all time faves (even though I prefer Funhouse) but there are things on the mix that grate for me - the really shrill mix on solo guitars and how they sound very 'punched in', like not even part of the mix IMO.

Circa 1981(?) - After my utter WYATT fixation commenced with hearing his CHIC cover of “at last I am free” from significant at the time “Wanna Buy a Bridge” compilation …. Then Wyatt’s “nothing can stop us” Lp.
I launched into entire career.
I’m not a huge fan of Softs past “FOURTH”, but recommend to keep going one by one until yer ‘noisey jazz fusioned-out’. There have been so many bootlegs now officially released in quality sound from the vintage era - that i find those send me farther than the post 1972 era.
