Dead Planet Radio 5-15-2008
May 16, 2008 05:30 PM PDT
This is an off week for the Uncle Dave Show, and I decided to post an episode of a program that I did not host, but I admired very much and thought would be of interest to listeners of this Podcast. I share my program slot with Mr. Hunchback (e.g, Keith Larsen) whose tastes and standards for radio are similar to mine. "Dead Planet Radio" is a particularly inspired effort; about it, Mr. Hunchback writes, "The main point is to show that animals, plants, weather and rocks don't necessarily make tranquil sounds to relax by. They often make great abstract intellectually engaging music, by themselves and in ensemble. It's still something musicians can learn from - which is a good reason to keep it around." When I asked for an illustration, Mr. Hunchback submitted this image with this comment, "Here's a photo of rafflesia pricei, the world's biggest flower. It's also the stinkiest. It attracts loads of flies because it smells like rotting flesh. Not exactly something you'd want to pin on your prom date's shoulder." Length: 60 minutes, with a spoken intro and outro delivered by my daughter, Remy Lewis, who is likewise very concerned with the preservation of the natural world. |
Podcast SummaryTravel with me as I go through the records people throw out to bring you everything you're not hearing. About DavidI am a composer, writer, sometime filmmaker and longtime collector and producer of recordings. My radio career began in Cincinnati in 1978 and continues to this very day - I am in my sixth year as a radio host at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor. I have long sought to find a way to get my various shows on the air, and I hope that this is the way - thanks be to Cesar Perez for escorting me here. My interests run from Ancient Greek Music to the avant-garde, so really you can expect to hear just about anything on my show. If you hear something you don't like, just wait a few minutes and chances are you will. Fans of this Show
