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

Firesign Theatre | Our Election Sponsors / The Simplex Slicer | Not Insane 1980! Campaign Chronicles | Firesign/Bandcamp | 2024 |
"Elections! They're fun, right? RIGHT!? You'll have to speak up, we can't hear over your hysterical sobbing!! Yes, in 1980 Americans gathered in the public square of their minds and considered the many candidates for President. Boy, were they garbage. So obviously it was time for the Firesign Theatre, a group more interested in American trash than any other American artists, to come haul it away in the form of their weekly commentaries for NPR, "Campaign Chronicles"!
Broadcasting weekly on "Morning Edition", Firesign provided useful thumbnails of every Presidential candidate, offered helpful summaries of the big campaign issues, did vox pops with a variety of real, totally not fake average citizens, and—in an exclusive that somehow no other network ever followed—gave regular updates on the star-crossed campaign of Republican candidate Daffy Duck."

I was wondering why the "I'm not supposed to be here" line kept echoing in my head all this time. I was thinking, "That would be my opening line if I were a comedian." Good thing I never had any intention to be one, especially with Cancel Culture on the prowl for convenient targets.

Well, I guess I have a couple of hours to try to find it and for you to go into radio silence so I will assume you didn't answer because you dropped off.
Sorry if I am making any sense at all.
