View Rich in Washington's profile |
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 don’t know why I assumed that “singles going steady“ week meant just 7 inch singles, since 12” singles are singles, too. Duh.

Plus, 12 inches just had the best sound. And then all the instrumental and a cappella mixes inspired me to get into mashup and sound collages, and here I am. So, thank you 12 inch singles of the world!
