Listener comments!

  3:11am
fred:

Good morning Nat
  3:12am
Nat:

Yo Fred!
  3:29am
Sam:

Hi Fred, Nat.
What the hell is a jiggowatt?!
  3:30am
Sam:

All the futuristic stuff died out in the 60's basically, maybe some hung on until the 80's. Now futuristic and retro are one in the same, like the Jetsons for example.
  3:31am
Nat:

I believe a jiggowatt was the amount of electricity that was needed for the Delorean in Back To The Future to power the time travel device that was up in there.
  3:32am
Sam:

Yeah I know, I was just quoting the movie
  3:32am
Nat:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see
  3:33am
Sam:

Actually it was 1.21 jiggowatts.
  3:37am
Sam:

The future was supposed to be robots doing all kinds of chores for us. Instead of that we have addiction to the internet and all this texting and electronic chatting. Everyone's typing messages all the time which really is hardly more advanced than the telegraph.
  3:39am
Sam:

THIS is nice!
  4:21am
fred:

Another composition involving radio is Stockhausen's Spiral, for short wave radio and a soloist. A few weeks ago I heard a performance where the instrument was a no-input mixing board. Very cool (and the performer was WFMU listener Zax)
  4:31am
neil:

woa whats next puttin on the ritz.?
  4:32am
Nat:

Here's the list!

  4:35am
neil:

he he he
  4:38am
Nat:

ha ha ha
  4:39am
Sam:

Do we love listening to these 1983 cutups so much because we long for our childhood? I think it's the case for me.
  4:40am
Nat:

Yeah man, I want nothing more than to go back into the womb. So warm...so simple...
  4:42am
Sam:

I tried to go back into the womb - my mom freaked out and called the cops
  4:43am
Nat:

he he he
  4:51am
neil:

I made a tape with my first boom box around this era just recording the radio and using the pause button. My tape had a 7 up ad on it and lots ov this stuff. i was a wierd kid.
  4:53am
Nat:

I would love to hear that tape
  4:55am
Sam:

I always used to tape stuff off the radio too, but I'd often miss the beginnings of songs and stuff. Then when I heard a new song I liked better I'd tape over part of it, but it was real sloppy so there would be all kinds of weird jumps between songs, and commercials too, and DJ banter, not to mention static from bad reception. I wish I could find those tapes now.
  4:57am
g.g.:

i thought that digital drugs didn't work i was wrong thanks nat
  5:16am
Nat:

Always happy to introduce g.g. to more drugs.

Watched GG Allin on Jerry Springer the other day, incidentally. Pretty amazing.
  5:19am
pierre:

Bonjour Nat Roe,
Salut fred, an all listeners

late checking in
  5:26am
Nat:

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5:31am
Marmalade Kitty:

@Sam: What can be so important? with all the messaging? nothing! people get a nervous twitch twitter time
  5:35am
fred:

Salut Pierre!
  5:36am
neil:

have a good day night yall. keep it crunchy...
  5:43am
Marmalade Kitty:

all this messaging is like a short cut to nothing
  5:44am
Marmalade Kitty:

but I guess thts something..
  5:45am
kOi eMz:

I think these Randomatic Cutups could be more interesting if the playback sequence was entirely random i.e. fragments of one song were not all together, followed by all fragments of next song, etc. Less like a long cutup to nothing.
  5:49am
Marmalade Kitty:

random? no, no, no, not random..
  5:52am
Marmalade Kitty:

it may appear random..
  5:53am
Nat:

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that. I thought it was more listenable the way I did that. But it would've been just a slight alteration in the script to make that happen. It's certainly more conceptually pure, but I thought it'd be FUNNER this way!
  5:55am
Marmalade Kitty:

more spontaneous like?
  5:56am
Nat:

Just so that it wouldn't be tooooooo scattered. Man. I just read an article about Newy Gingrich being all corrupt in the Times. And then I read an article in Bloomberg about the Fed giving 7.7 Trillion dollars of taxpayer money to superbanks. Now I'm upset.
  5:57am
fred:

Nat, is the order of the songs random too?
  5:59am
Marmalade Kitty:

the Dollar is a figment of the banks imagination
  6:00am
Nat:

No, they're just ordered in the order that they were cut up.
  6:00am
Zoogz Rift:

What has "listenable" got to do with it?
  6:00am
Nat:

I will go to dream now
  6:01am
Marmalade Kitty:

Great show nat!
