Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from November 7, 2023 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

My Valentine's Day show earlier this year with Heather featured several tunes by Julie Brown, trying to focus on the other parts of her career. This tune was intentionally left out of that show, since we were looking for other songs. But if there was ever a time and a place to parody gun violence, we figure this is our best
opportunity. And: it is her most famous song.
