Old music out now/again by AFTERIMAGE ('81), AXEMEN ('89), CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE ('81) and SORE EROS w/ KURT VILE ('02). Click through to this week's purge church:

"Today, tourist shops in Berlin still sell small bits of Wall, and they went at a rapid clip for the first decade and a half. A few years ago, however, the most colorful chunks were gone. It seems the boring grey chunks of the Wall - in fact, the reality of it, the bulk of it, the true experience of it for most of the people who lived with it - did not sell. So shopkeepers recalled them, spraypainted them, and redisplayed them. Sales picked up."

We say goodbye to Gary Burger, make our first foray into the Balto Weird label of 1979 and hear excerpts from various low frequency radio stations in Maryland circa 1983. There was some skronky Polish 90's electronic and YES I played another side-long CHEATER SLICKS live track, this one recorded at The Khyber Pass, Philadelphia 1992. The early years of BARDO POND, SCRITTI POLITTI and SEVERED HEADS. New records from DAVID LYNCH, MATTIN, CHAUCHAT and SACRED PRODUCT.

"The thousands stand and chant. Around them in the world, people ride escalators going up and sneak secret glances at the faces coming down. People dangle tea-bags over hot water in white cups. Cars run silently on the autobahns, streaks of painted light. People sit at desks and stare at office walls. They smell their shirts and drop them in the hamper. People bind themselves into numbered seats and fly across time zones and high cirrus and deep night, knowing there is something they've forgotten to do.

The future belongs to the crowds."

Write-up on the Kettingzaag ("Chainsaw") blog today by Jos de Groot from Coïtus Int. about my 2013 WFMU marathon premium!
