Relying Only on Perplexing Intangibilities: Transmission 223, 2015 July 24

This is a fill-in show that I did in place of "Conference of the Birds." I made it a Medway Night because I felt like it--as I have previously noted, this was bound to result in some awkward segues, because the Greats do not Play Nice. Mind you, that does not explain every botched transition in the program, but it does explain some.

Whimsy must have put The Birthday Party and The House of Love in the mix, but Death put Negativland there. I was indeed lucky to see them perform in the late 1980s--I think it was 1987 [the year of Escape from Noise], but I may be off by a year. At any rate I hope to god that I handled myself with a bit of maturity back then--apparently there was some reporter from the student paper who covered the show and was "freaked out." I remember it being weird and wild but I do not recall this reaction as mine, much less any written account thereof. Perhaps I'd quit that gig already. Anyway, thank goodness for the pre-internet era! Because, you see, I was not at all above pearl-clutching or collapsing onto the fainting couch. I strongly endorse that whole "right to be forgotten" thing the Euros are into.
