Thanks to wendell for the idea of creating posters for radio shows!

That really wasn't a poster for the radio show, it was a response to somebody in MetaChat referring to my "kurfuffle" (THEIR spelling) done before I was inspired to name the radio show after it too...

However, I AM listening.

Album title in small print.

1. Charles Bukowski - Cloud Nine / I Live in a Neighborhood of Murderers / Two Horse Collars (3:05)
  Giorno Poetry Systems: Totally Corrupt, 1976

2. William S. Burroughs - Twilight's Last Gleamings (2:47)
  You're the Guy I Want to Share My Money With
   Does this man need an introduction? I thought not.

3. Tom Waits - 9th & Hennepin (1:56)
  Rain Dogs

4. Allen Ginsberg - Green Automobile 1953 (6:08)
  The Dial-A-Poem Poets

If Darek, jefri, and/or the Facilitatrix are listening, then hello and welcome. Hi to MeChazens too.

8. Cabaret Voltaire - Do Right (6:43)
  Micro-Phonies
   Their earliest performances were dada-influenced performance art, but Cabaret Voltaire later developed into one of the most prolific and important groups to blend pop with dance music, techno, dub house and experimental electronic music. CV official site.

But now I'm going to have to do it for REAL!

12. John Giorno - Excerpt from Subduing Demons in America (7:11)
  Dial-A-Poem Poets: Biting off the Tongue of a Corpse, 1975
   All of the Dial-a-Poem stuff is off of the Giorno Poetry Systems label. I saw Giorno in Alberta. He was there for opening night at the Edmonton Art Gallery for the Brion Gysin exhibition. He told stories of Gysin, of meeting him in Tangiers and Paris and opened a window into what it was like to be there with all the beat poets. My initial impressions of Giorno were... wicked intelligent, short, *so* gay, that energy that people have when their brains create more thoughts that their mouth can express, a deep and abiding respect and knowledge of a man (Gysin) that I would've killed to meet, smart, kind, scattered and rooted at the same time.

See? I told you it was a cool idea. I've got 3 others made for upcoming shows. It's kinda fun.

15. Brion Gysin - "3 Permutations" (1960), 4'22" (4:21)
  UbuWeb / PennSound Archive   'Recalling all active agents', 'No poets don't own words', 'Junk is no good baby'.
    "Permutation is a technique commonly used by avant-gardes and above all, and systematically, by the
American writer Gertrude Stein. It is possible to permute sentences, words within a sentence, syllables and phonemes within a word. Permutation is a typically modern device and considerable use was made of it in the plastic arts by the constructivists. In fact it permits the complete exhaustion of all the possible combinations within a given choice of material, without limit of number." Link to full text.

16. David Sylvian - Blackcrow Hits Shoe Shine City (5:14)
  Rain Tree Crow
   Well, it's not just Sylvian, it's actually all of Japan. They reformed in 1989 to produce this eponymous work.

That's all. Thanks for listening.

As this is my particular soapbox.... Permutations. I tried out a poem with the words taken from The Young Gods*' "She Rains", and The Sisters of Mercy*'s cut up line "moves (...) like the ocean (...) like the sea". I had the opening and closing lines, and it just was a matter of putting together the rest of the permutation. Punctuation is left up to the viewer's descretion.

she rains like the ocean moves like the sea
rains like she moves like the ocean rains
like the sea moves like the rain
she moves like the ocean moves like
the rains like the seas like she rains
like the seas rain like the oceans she moves
the oceans like the rains move the oceans
she likes the seas like ocean rain
like the seas move like rain she likes
rains like seas like the oceans
move like the seas rain she moves rain
like the seas like oceans move like she
rains like the sea moves like
the ocean moves the rains
like the seas move she likes the rains
like oceans like seas she moves


*coming to a goth show in the near future!

Damn, I'm sorry I missed this show!

(And I love the poster idea- how cool is that?)
