[Kzyxtalk] The Odessa steps sequence.

[Marco McClean]

Subject: The Odessa steps sequence.

/"Are they all constructed? Or do you ever use ones that are real?" 
"It's illegal to use real memories, Officer." "How can you tell the 
difference? Can you tell if something really happened?" "They all think 
it's about more detail. But that's not how memory works. We recall with 
our feelings. Anything real should be a mess. I can show you. Sit."/

Here's the recording of last night's (2022-07-08) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA):

Thanks to Hank Sims for all kinds of tech help over the years, as well 
as for his fine news site: https://LostCoastOutpost.com

Thanks go to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which provided almost an 
hour of the above 8-hour show's most locally relevant material, as 
usual, without asking for anything in return. Just $25 a year for full 
access to all articles and features. While you're feeling generous, go 
to KNYO.org, click on the big red heart and give what you can.

Email me your work on any subject and I'll read it on the radio this 
next Friday night, just like every Friday night since 1997, oh, right, 
except for part of 2012, immediately after that lousy schmuck Claude 
Hooten bought KMFB to mutilate it like the Bad Seed strangling a loving 
pet to gut it and stuff it with kapok and change the call letters to 
KUNK (!) and sell it down the line for a hat-stand to some other 
schmuck. When I win the lottery I'm going back in time and unravel that 
entire horrible nightmare from the beginning. I got a weird feeling the 
first time I ever talked to him on the phone, and I didn't heed it. One 
for my gallery of sharp regrets. In short, a mess, see above.

Happier than that, speaking of telephony, in this show you'll hear Sy, 
the 19-year-old Vietnamese Elvis, play guitar and sing /Fly Me To The 
Moon/ in bilingual call-and-response duet with Kent Wallace, 
long-distance from beautiful Vietnam, risen from the ashes like a 
Phoenician phoenix. And Kent said that in a couple of weeks, Sy will 
call again and his girlfriend will be there and they'll all sing /Cherry 
Bomb/, also in melodious Vietnamese, so you have that to look forward to 
and anticipate.

FURTHERMORE, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh 
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together. 
Such as:

The land of the free and the home of the brave. AAAAIEEEEE!

Four delightful schnozzes. That we know of.  The sound of snuffling, and 
the rustling curtain. (via Everlasting Blort)

This $200 smart wash-and-dry toilet seat eliminates the need for toilet 
paper. With cryptic video demo, including a subtly disturbing glimpse of 
hose going in and out. Or out and in, depending on your point of view.

And /Queen of the Night/ featuring Carolina Eyck on theremin, in a 
puppet theater environment that reminds me of the film /The Science of 
Sleep/ by Michel Gondry.
