The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

First Issue | Warner Bros | 2025 |
Reissue of debut PiL album that restores the unissued 1979 USA and Canadian version of this release in order to give something for the record flipping human/egg-sucking rodent hybrids who partake in the greed-fest known as Record Store Day to salivate over. I managed to snag a less-than-perfect copy the other day. Many tracks are remixed or have different running times, but Religion I and Religion II are missing from this version. So it goes. |

Charles Hickson Story Of U.F.O. | Crown Ltd. | 1974 |
"On the evening of October 11, 1973, 42-year-old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker told the Jackson County, Mississippi, sheriff's office they were fishing off a pier on the west bank of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they heard a whirring/whizzing sound, saw two flashing blue lights, and observed an oval shaped object 30–40 feet (9–12 m) across and 8–10 feet (2–3 m) high. Parker and Hickson claimed they were "conscious but paralyzed" while three "creatures" with "robotic slit-mouths" and "crab-like pincers" took them aboard the object and subjected them to an examination"
