Favoriting The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from March 1, 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

I like to just go out randomly in public and say "Timing". This is a reference to Albert Brooks' "Comedy Minus One" where he says timing is very important, specifically "Timing. Say it with me: Timing." And I like the idea that I'm more than 50 years late repeating the phrase "Timing" but it's a subtle joke so I'd have to say most people don't get it.
  9:43pm

There's that joke where the inquisitor interrupts the interlocutor with "Timing!" before the interlocutor can reply to the query, "What's the most important feature of comedy?"

Lewis was well-known for his neuroses whenever he performs or does the talk show circuit. Neurotics run a great risk of succumbing to a stroke or heart attack.Clearly Lewis was someone who was quite uncomfortable around people most of the time. Perhaps he attempted to overcome it through comedy.

Definitely a composition / framework with space for solo or ensemble improv.

I don't of any improv of large ensemble that doesn't have some framework. There probably is.

i think zorn's games or morris' conduction get closer to the core of improv with a large group, but like a said i like this just fine

zorn's game pieces are kinda tapdancing on the line

is it really composed/structured if the structure is determined completely at random?

Well, at least they're sorry.
