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

Holy Moley! Our house is roughly at least 15 miles from the epicenters of the 2 quakes that hit East Coast today. I was here in the basement when the first one hit @10:23 AM, so you could imagine how intense it must've been for me. My bro felt the aftershock from his room upstairs just before 6:00 PM. It's worth mentioning the epicenters were about 5 miles from, err, you-know-who's country club in Lamington.
Happen to have that Kode IV album + a bunch of Kk material. Also have (nearly) the entire Re-Constriction catalogue of releases.

1. Independent, Oct. 14, 2007 -- "The chief protagonists at this hippie grungefest at the Roundhouse were Nick Lowe's pub-rockers, Brinsley Schwarz; Man, aka the Welsh Grateful Dead; and Hawkwind, who in 1972 were in their barely constructed pomp. Greasy Truckers itself was an organisation loosely inspired by San Fran's anarcho-imps The Diggers. Everyone had a confused, rather slow-moving ball but a ball nevertheless. What was once a double LP is now three CDs. Hawkwind deliver themselves of the baby that became 'Silver Machine', Man emit a 22-minute 'Spunk Rock' and the Brinsleys - well, they're breezy."
2. Nick Kent, NME, 1972 -- "FIRST THE facts: Greasy Truckers are basically two people who wish to be known as Melvin and Fanny Hotrock..."

I was in NYC, Bedpan Alley (First Avenue, lower UWS) at a medical appointment with Glenn. We were at a subterranean level. I was in the waiting room, reading a magazine. I felt the subway rumbling beneath us, a common experience in NYC. A few minutes later, the nurses were freaking out. "OMG we just had an earthquake!" Then I realized, "Heyyyy, there's no First Avenue subway!" So, that's me.

then, winter 1980, after the short-lived amazingly good wpix-fm turned to shit ("love songs...nothing, but love songs") and wnew-fm became absolutely worthless; i visited 91.1 and it was playing "music of the morning of the world" (balanese gamelan) and i left my dial there... indefinitely!

Uncle Floyd was so influential to me as a kiddo. I used to pore through TV Guide seeing if it was listed on NJN or whatever public channel it was on. I think my love for old jazz/R&B started with Uncle Floyd.
