CutUpSound: The Preacher's Supposed To Be Rich

(8:23)  This is one of a series of bits* I did about preachers, and the only one not in a collection.  I think.  Anyway, it seemed like a good source for the pecuniary aspect of Christianity.  Trinity Broadcasting is known for the "Prosperity Gospel", which I guess is some kind of cosmic pyramid scheme, and the guy on this bit, apparently one of their star salesmen-- uh, ministers-- delivers a rousing sermon on "Why God Wants You To Make Me Rich".  (Spoiler alert: it's souls.)

* The others are tracks 6-8 on this, and track 17 on this.

Here's the link.

Tim Maloney: Shatner, etc

Animator who occasionally collaborates with Negativland.  Here's some cutups that reference the contemporary media stream.

"Shatner" roasts those late-nite TV 1-800 celebrity ads.  It's available on a collection of various artists of the same ilk, entitled Free Speech For Sale.

Violent Combat Robots looks at the sort of entertainment a military-industrial society uses to indoctrinate kids.

There's some other odds and ends at his website.

Negativland: No Business

(4:16)  There's no music like butcher music, like no music I know.

Saturnalia Special: Do or DIY archive

The 10-year archive of People Like Us's show on WFMU is available at their site, if you want to hear a prime example of collage/free form radio (quite a few hours of it, actually).  The most recent 52 programs are also on a download at iTunes for free, although if you don't already have an Apple password and don't like giving out your credit card info, I wouldn't recommend it.

Peter Schickele: Unbegun Symphony

(10:45) A work unblemished by a single original note.  This version includes the third movement, which wasn't in the original release.  (As he says, there's no first or second movements because he was born too late to have written them.)

Luciano Berio: Thema (Omaggio a Joyce)

(8:11) This is what you do with open-reel tape and the human voice.  At least, in 1958.

The first couple minutes are a recitation by Cathy Berberian of the unaltered text, from James Joyce's Ulysses.  The rest of it is pretty amazing.  "Listen, each and for other plash and silent roar..."

If you like this, there's a longer piece entitled Visage that explores the same approach.

Evolution Control Committee: Don't Miss the Great Snatch

(4:19) Cut-up preacher and a dance beat.  For further study.
