Radio Discordia Guest Podcast: Hour of Slack #1180 - "A Depression Comedy" by Rev. Susie the Floozy

The Church of the SubGenius Radio Ministry - THE HOUR OF SLACK

"I came not to bring peace, but an obnoxious radio show." -- J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, 1956-ecclesians 6:14.

This is one of the greatest Hours of Slack ever, and it's not even an Hour of Slack. It's Rev. Susie the Floozy's incredible Episode # 740 of "Bob's" Slacktime Funhouse from WREK in Atlanta, Georgia, and it's truly one of the most amazing media barrage-style collages we have ever had the orgozmonic psychotronic pleasure to hear. Praise Rev. Susie the Floozy, and the 101 sources from whence she drew. It makes losing everything worth it.

The Hour of Slack is the compendium of the best and newest from all SubGenius™ radio & stage shows, bands, ranters, media barrage collage artists, plus the weirdest of the indie audio underground. Over 1,000 episodes of this jam-packed, samurai-edited juggernaut of raw, untamed SLACK are available.

The Hour of Slack is produced weekly by REV. IVAN STANG (PO Box 181417, Cleveland Hts, Ohio, 44118-1417, USA) -- send tapes or CDs there for possible exploitation. Alternately, you can email stang@subgenius.com with your submissions (if they're under 5 mb or so, per day). Or, post them to alt.binaries.slack on Usenet.

Radio Discordia 022: - Noam Chomsky - Propaganda and the Public Mind

Noam Chomsky is one of the world's leading intellectuals, father of modern linguistics, outspoken media and foreign policy critic and tireless activist.

"There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda. . . Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to corporations"--Noam Chomsky

This lecture provides and introduction to Chomsky's key thinking on the media and propaganda, and their pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily.

Chomsky sheds light on the corrupt system we have now - one that the rich and powerful have rigged in their favor. Explains the role of Big Media and the abuse of their power. YOU deserve to hear what he has to say.

Radio Discordia 018: T.A.Z. - Hakim Bey and Bill Laswell

T.A.Z. [Temporary Autonomous Zone] Anti-Copyright 1992

Explorations of the political, the personal, the social, and the metaphysical from writer and spoken word artist Hakim Bey. A meld with musical terrorist Bill Laswell.

Bey advocates nearly everything, including creating free states for like-minded cabals and collectives. He recommends marginalized groups form secret societies and concludes with a lengthy piece on boycotting cop culture. Musique concrete cloaks his words in an eerily seductive melange of avant-garde noise and ambient music. But the sounds are almost immaterial. Bey's words are the primary focus of this disc.

A swirling, surreal vertigo of information and methods for "escape", woven with the kind of airy tones and hallucinatory rhythms that Laswell has been playing with lately, Bey's voice calms and prepares the listener for an age where missing information and the icons of late capitalist high-tech correspond with an increasing alienation of this "X-generation"'s most primitive needs. Most of all, Bey doesn't come across as a cheesy, overzealous, visionary bard, but presents us with ideas point-blank, allowing us to be choosy in aiming our own forms of poetic terrorism against those forces that attempt to suppress and homogenize humility and free thought.

Radios Discordia Short Story audio: The Rebranding of Billy Bailey by Cory Doctorow

The Rebranding of Billy Bailey, a short story about Brand Management Ad Absurdum.

What if that kid at school, who is always the trend setter, were actually a brand funded by the products he is seen using and wearing?

This story is purely satirical, and it maintains its clever and inventive pace throughout. Billy Bailey is a sixth-grade kid, and a heel, a professional heel; that is to say he maintains an image as a class prankster and brat. And he has an agent to handle his endorsements and help maintain his image. But when a hostile principal and a slimy but rich fellow student frame him for a clumsy prank unworthy of his style, he decides it's time to change. It's time for rebranding.

Radio Discordia Podcast 010: Elvis Of Letters - WS Burroughs & Gus Van Sant

Just four tracks of old-school Burroughs sound-bites (cut up, even!) over guitar/drum/bass folky jazziness by Van Sant the future filmmaker. Unlike most of the work WSB did with Bill Laswell et al., these are less about the content of his writing and more about its effects. They demonstrate cut-ups and repetition and inching and can launch endless psycho-sensory experimentation. The man's voice lends itself remarkably well to musical accompaniment, even when cut-up - it's amazing that any kind of verbal flow can remain after cut-and-paste, much less normal-sounding speech! You've never heard anything like this before, though it seems as familiar as a remembered dream.
