If you tuned in last night, great. If not, not so good perhaps but I’m sure there was something much more important. That said, I had lots and lots of fun playing around with the audio clips I prepared and pretty much mixed in on the spot improv style. So the show started with a clip of an interview of Noam Chomsky by Ali G, yes…Ali G. Somewhere in the middle an 80’s Japanese Nintendo commercial was played, a 60’s LSD propaganda clip was sampled, some clips from Fellini’s 8 1/2 were sampled where Marcello is in bed with his mistress and she puts her make up on then asking him if he likes it, where he responds with “make it more sluttier” in Italian. Then a few songs from my vinyls and Russian 60’s pop music…culminating the evening with a great speech from “The Great Dictator” by Charlie Chaplin. If you’ve never seen it, watch the youtube clip down there…
So it was an experiment that went well in my opinion, a bit improvised so I can’t tell how the listeners took it but I had great fun doing it. It’s a lot different that the usual Rhythm Rue format for the show but I was there by myself cause Noudi was out for the evening and so I brought a lil taste of what yours truly does on his extra time. Hope you had a good time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t record it all because it was straight up from youtube and vinyls. But for next time, I’ll get my programs in the studio.
But I wont’ leave you without at least one or two tracks so here are some good tunes and vids.
