A couple of tapes in a shoebox found on the street, it might as well have the point of departure for The Ballad of Ray and Julie. But it was not. Graffitti was, and a brick wall, and an empty space somewhere in town. The story is: something once was, and maybe still is, or could have been, and people were involved. The result is a reconstruction in various forms. There wouldnot have been a result without the involvement of knowledge. “Life is solving problems” said Karl Popper. I forgot…
Do Dai Coelacanth’s contributions to Radio On evolve into a sci-fi radioplay, a discardable walkman’s alternative to all paytv’s series? Be your own detective. Read his words. Maybe they sound familiar. Susan had joined a show band. I was asked to play trumpet. Not in the band. They wanted me to stand in a shop doorway. They liked my tone. They said it was undecipherable. We had been on the planet for twenty years and had failed to establish ourselves. We were there. We were alive. We were regressing. Susan’s…

Guitars and rhythm, an old boy’s network, a visit to another planet, Elvis and Vampira. Berlin is boiling. Berlin is bleeding. Time for some cottage cheese and a visit to a lake. Transistor radio is blaring. Currywurst fumes and topless girls. Beer bellies and wet dogs running around. Those were the days: 1. Histatic Charge – Why Do I Always Hafta Do The Dishes? 2. Endzeitgeneration – First Earth, Then Space 3. Don Campau & Robin O’Brien – Magical Mile new very personal DC interview 4. Viktimized Karcass – Loaded…
One of the surprises to wait for is the sound that leaks through. Dai records over commercial cassettes. The other surprise to wait for is the way he treats or maltreats his walkman. Noises recorded at random places and spoken fragments from a sci-fi book for children are the other ingredients. But, as always, you, the listener, are the cook. In Dai’s words I think your seeds are dead. Crocodiles in the lake all they want is a cup of coffee and some love. Keep away from the edge. It’s…
A show by Lord Litter that is like an exotic bazaar where you can walk around for hours. Martin Böttcher and his grand film music, or Hal McGee and his whole new definition of folk art inspired by the use of a handheld dictaphone are few of the wonderful images that shine from between the goods.
