[Kzyxtalk] The difference between the way it feels and the way it looks.

[Marco McClean]

"There'd been six of us at the outset, but after Smythe took a poisoned 
dart to the chest, Buddlestone fell from the top of a cliff, Stevens and 
Mayhew were swallowed by quicksand, and Tait-Harris was eaten by ants, 
only I remained to bring you our amazing tale." -Anna McDougal

The recording of last night's (2017-08-04) KNYO Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show is ready to download for free and enjoy at any time of 
the day or night, via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com

Besides that, as usual also there you'll find a fresh batch of links to 
other interesting things I collected for you while putting the show 
together, that might not necessarily work on the radio because of being 
mostly visual. Such as:

Giant puppet spider and fire dragon.

Teenage fashion of the 1980s.

Thrillingly attractive antique motorcycles. Even considered only as 
sculpture, wow! I'll take any one of the Clevelands, I think, or the 
1906 Thor, or the Flying Merkel.

And we've all been in some analog of this place. I like the brave little 
girl who steps up, steels herself for the task ("Okay, let’s do this!") 
and goes for it! But I equally like the sensible woman who looks over 
the edge, says, /Fuck that!/ and climbs back down the ladder. And the 
tall seemingly determined boy who practically defies the laws of physics 
to change his mind. And the way they all talk to themselves to make or 
confirm their decision to go or not. ("No," a woman whispers, "I don't 
have the guts." But then...!) And Linus and Frida, who discuss it and 
negotiate about it, whether if one goes the other will actually go, and 
Frida admits that if Linus jumps she might weasel out of their deal if 
she sees that "an arm flies off, or something"; they’re so easy with 
each other; they’ll be happy together the rest of their lives. I give 
up, I like them all. This is so moving, revealing, human. What a great 
project, to remind us of the important difference between the way 
something feels and the way it looks.
