Redefine Success and Mistakes: Transmission 104, 2014 March 6

This evening of amateur French translation and world-class mediocrity (all mine) features the "other side" of that fabulous E.E.K. record. Like a Konono No. 1 / Shitmat jam session captured on a terrible cassette, it is a unique and longed-for experience. It enters the as-yet-unnamed pantheon of Great Records of which I Have Played All The Songs (possible redundancy with the word "great").

Uh, elsewhere, it is a typical (fun) night. I have yet to figure out why these "bonus" shows are so much more freewheeling and enjoyable than the regular program. Too much pressure? Too many features? I am mired in one of my phases of existential doubt. Should I just be a fill-in and not a fixture? Much wonderings, so confusion. And there is still so much "to do" before we have exhausted all value.
