(One Hundred and) Twenty Minutes of Pap: Transmission 28, 2013 April 20

Goofiness triumphs on this episode of the Bombastic program. Mrs. Miller makes her first appearance, and New Order present us with a classic "disposable" recording that serves as both "Physical Evidence" and an impromptu "Croix de Bombast." [How many of these latter trinkets have you collected?] I make a bunch of mistakes in the program, not fading songs out, playing the wrong track,* etc. In short, it is one of my shows. [* EDIT: I am understating this massively, especially after the previous post's #humblebrag re. not "being able" to play songs a second time.] In an announcement that will delight all of you who visit these pages, I have to say that I am pretty well fed up with words this week. The last eight days I have been immersed in the world of language and I can only report that I am more convinced than ever of its failures. So have a playlist. And a dancing bear. Peace out.
