Enjoyed your last live show here - the Don Joyce show. My condolences. I only met Don a few times and corresponded sporadically over the years. But also a huge fan of his show. Been listening since I've been on the interwebs, even with dialup.

How man grains are there in irony bread? Only one: A grain of truth.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:11pm
Rich in Washington:

I think '99 was when I first started listening regularly. I used a plain old dial telephone to pipe sound with the earpiece of a headphone clamped to the mouthpiece. It sounded surprisingly good.

I used to call into Over the Edge when I was still living in Idaho, in pre-streaming days when I couldn't listen to the show and had no idea of the content except what I could hear coming down the phone...on one show I stayed on for five minutes doing nothing but playing back Bernard Herrman's "Love Theme" from Vertigo over their conversation

For many years, had dial up at home and broadband wasn't available in my area and was so expensive, so listened to lots of internet radio and archives while working in the office.

Irwin Chiusid has been playing music by an Australian outsider musician, Waterfall Person, that does something very similar...she's broken all her electronic keyboards in very interesting ways

You all might be interested to know, they actually brought "It's All IN Your Head FM" here.. to VEGAS!! What a night it was!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:27pm

I'm confident that the surviving members of Negativland will continue recording and touring as promised - from their live shows in the last few years, I know they've got a sweet agglomeration of new tunes/edit pieces that will kill you they're so good - "Like Cattle Act" and "Let's Melt the North Pole", to name just two

IAIYH is a pretty good show. Was there for Portland OR. Did you get blindfolds, Vince?
