[Kzyxtalk] A little post-election music.

[Marco McClean]

A little post-election music.


Late Saturday night (10pm - midnight) I went to the KNYO storefront to 
try to solve the problem of electrical thumping you can hear in the 
quiet parts of the Memo written-word show I did the night before. The 
problem resisted duplication, try as I might to make things go wrong 
again in order to solve it, but before I went home and, while I 
connected and disconnected things and tried out various configurations 
of this and that, I played a two-hour set of mostly random music from my 
music library. It turned out to be about dogs and boats and creepy 
relationships. (For example: /Sit On My Lap and Call Me Daddy/.) If 
you'd like to hear that music, let me know and I'll make it available.


And just tonight, after switching out internet services at Juanita's, I 
tried out the new service by playing a somewhat less random 
post-election set of music on KNYO from midnight to 1am (technically 
Wednesday morning). The aircheck of that is available via 
http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com


If you'd like to have your own airtime on 107.7fm KNYO Fort Bragg to do 
whatever sort of show seems most like your thing, contact Bob Young at 
bobb at poetworld.net and say so. He'll show you how to use the equipment 
and put you on the schedule. It's that easy.


Anyway, also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find literally 
thrillions of links to not necessarily radio-useful but certainly 
worthwhile things to see and do and learn about, such as:


A 1940s tap-dance routine that includes Eleanor Powell juggle-trading 
drumsticks with drummer Buddy Rich in a way that might dislocate your 
jaw from surprise and delight. Prop your thumb under your chin to 
protect against that.

A modern-day dance routine. I'm not sure what it's meant to convey, but 
the dancer is like a broken doll being dragged and flung about and 
shaken by a giant invisible crazy child.

And beset on all sides by an army of determined snakes this baby iguana 
displays the cool moxie of a much older iguana. /Run, Forrest, run./
