He Asked No Questions, He Had Few Conversations: Transmission 227, 2015 August 11

"Don't tell me crime don't pay," as some guy said once. Here I am, snatching airtime that is not mine, to carry out the irrational, unconscious mission of this program. It was Jah Wobble's birthday, so there is a Jah Wobble record involved, but that is a long-ish story whose time has not yet come. Hopefully someday soon.

Technical and other notes: on this night I think I plugged the "AUX IN" cable into my digital recorder, instead of AUX OUT, so I had to take the digital file from the station's computer, which means that it is post-compression with a few artifacts. Sorry about that. I will try to be better. Elsewhere, I cut off the first however many seconds of Siouxsie's "Halloween." (The Dream Syndicate's "Halloween" is intact.) (I think this is the second time I've played two tracks called "Halloween" in the same program, and that neither of these programs happened to fall on October 31. I am taking a page out of Catharsis Junior's handbook. She has no sense of time, and it is wonderful in a way.)

Finally, Meat Beat Manifesto returns! You know, in a previous life, I interviewed Jack Dangers. I no longer have the cassette, but the transcription did make it into a zine. I don't think it's been reproduced on the web. If I can find it and I'm not too embarrassed by it, I'll post it here sometime.
