Subject: Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio all night tonight!
Hi! Marco here. Deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday
night's) MOTA show is around 6 or 7pm. After that, send it whenever it's
ready and I'll read it on the radio /next/ week.
Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is every Friday, 9pm to 5am on 107.7fm
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg as well as anywhere else via the regular link to
listen to KNYO in real time:
http://airtime.knyo.org:8040/128
Any day or night you can go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and
hear last week's MOTA show. By Saturday night the recording of tonight's
show will also be there. Also there you'll find a steaming heap of
edutaining stew to squelch about in until showtime, or any time, such as:
Funky clavinet.

Prolific meat-eating-Buddhist writer Craig Louis Stehr sent me the link
to this fascinating Indian song and dance routine. I liked it until the
camera went in close on the dancer's nose ring, which I don't need to
tell you again is repulsive to me, but that's /my/ problem, I know, not
hers. I don't know why I don't like them; maybe I choked to death on a
nose ring (or eyebrow ring, or neck-stretching ring, or
tongue-piercing-clothespin, or elbow-plug, or some other self-mutilation
accoutrement) in a past life. The dancer here has big pendulous
earrings, too, that could catch on a twig she walks past and rip the
rest of her ear open. I don't like to think about it, but it catches my
possibly neurotic eye and there it is. Lacy artistic tattoos are okay
with me if they heal up without keloid scars. Big ugly blotchy tattoos,
or Disney-character tattoos, are not, /especially/ if they're to
disguise a birthmark or accident damage. There's nothing inherently
unattractive about what's not a person's fault. One of the most
delightful women I ever knew has burn scars on her cheek and down her
neck from a fire when she was a child. She's smart, graceful, pretty,
sweet, competent, and has a lovely voice, and she was never at all shy
or defensive of the burns. Now imagine how you'd feel about her if she
had the scars covered up by a big black-and-blue tattooed map of Italy,
or the Philippines, say, or how you'd feel if you saw a person who
/deliberately branded or burned a big shape/ on his or her flesh, or had
devil horns implanted in his forehead and expanded his jowls down to his
shoulders with springs. You see what I mean? It almost wouldn't matter
what a good teacher or nurse or lawyer he might be... Oh, wait, I like
it again when the dancer pretends to be a demon goddess and sticks her
tongue out and claws at the air; that's so creepy it's cool. And the
music is alternately funny/dramatic and startling/goofy; also cool.
Thanks, Craig. That was fun.

I've been collecting all different covers of Kate Bush's /Running Up
That Hill/, and so far I like this one the best.

And the Wiener Cello Ensemble: /Bolero/. By the middle-end of it that's
a lot of hands in there. It's like a scene in an old soft-focus French
movie where an ensorcelled damsel has to traverse a hallway full of
grasping arms and hands sticking out of the walls, but here the damsel
is a cello and screams music. (via b3ta)
