JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 13: EXERCISES IN STYLE



JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 13: EXERCISES IN STYLE

'It doesn't seem to me that anyone has discovered much that's new since the Illiad or the Odyssey'
Raymond Queneau

'The audience, which consisted largely of bikers, was unusually hostile, and Iggy, as usual, fed on that hostility, soaked it up and gave it back and absorbed it all over again in an eerie, frightening symbiosis. "All right," he finally said, stopping a song in the middle, "you assholes wanta hear 'Louie Louie' we'll give you 'Louie, Louie.'" So the Stooges played a forty-five-minute version of 'Louie Louie'"
Lester Bangs

Devised and presented by Dan Fox, words by Raymond Queneau

JAR SESSION 11 - "Explaining LIMBO"



JUNIOR ASPIRIN PODCAST 11: "EXPLAINING LIMBO"

The UK is in limbo, frozen in time, being kept "alive" in cryonic support at −273.15°C. Andy Cooke presents a collection of tracks hanging in a suspended animation, a kind of activity schedule for purgatory. More or less pagan, but all virtuous, some of these cuts are noisy, some are contemplative - some will survive for minutes, others might keep well for centuries. The plan is to replace all the organic elements with synthetic hardware in preparation for a cybernetic crisis free future, probably without a banking system.
