"Valse Triste"
(Listen:
Pop-up)
|
(originally broadcast on December 29, 1942) | (none) | There are Lights Out shows that would be scary even today, but this is a fairly mild one. Two girlfriends, one naive and from the South, the other a wise-ass New Yorker from 10th Avenue, get lost and run into trouble. Today's lesson: don't leave everything to chance, not even life or death at the hands of the "gentle man" without a face in the forest cabin without any windows..... | ||||||

World Trade Center Recordings | Stephen Vitiello | Recorded in the Fall of 1999, on the 91st floor of World Trade Center tower #1. Haunting - it's the sounds of the actual building. I feel like I'm hovering in the air, and the towers are visible, shimmering off in the mythic distance. Or maybe the towers themselves are shimmeringly floating in the visible, mythic distance. Listen to it at a low-ish volume, and see for yourself. | *** | |||||
