Freeform: it’s not just the music, it’s the approach to music, the way music is listened to and played.
The Mad Professor under the train trestle: Everything has been painted over on the cement facade, ‘cept for him. Street muralists and renegade taggers alike respect science, or drugs.
Signed by Mark Hosler. He inspected it first to make sure it was a true original SST release of “the letter U and the numeral 2” by Negativland. It is. I found it at the Kiwanis sale the same morning of the day that he was to be at the Ann Arbor Film Fest. He probably put it on the thrift store’s shelf, come to think of it.
Along the train tracks over Huron Street sits some nice wooden fencing, some cement, and… a mailbox? Sorry, I couldn’t get the address.
Diligent listeners!
Wow, was it quiet in those 12am-6am time slots. Sure I got some phone calls, some requests, some instant messages. But mostly, I got to hone my freeform skills and meditate on music like a monk in a monastery.
Daytime is a different beast. A beast with more heads, more phone calls, more people wandering in with questions, like ‘Am I in the right place…?’ I helped T Hetzel find music for her Living Writers guest. I helped Stephen find the Sports Show crew so he could get involved. All while keeping the Evil Doctor Dead Air at bay.
I look forward to bringing all of you the diverse sounds of freeform as well as some scintillating soundscapes during the MULTIBALL section of the show every Tuesday from 3pm to 5:30pm during Bleached Meat.
Thanks to Kristin All Rums and Reverend Andrew for supporting me over the ol’ AOL Instant Messanger.
