Over The Edge – How Radio Isn’t Done Pt. 16
26 January 2006
Bits from the recent Congressional hearings on indecency continue with a vengeance as Howard Stern shows some of his own. The community speaks before an FCC hearing on media monopoly, the BBC as edited by People Like Us, the Firesign Theatre answers the phone, and live receptacle programming input just for spice.

Guests People Like Us and Wobbly drop in for an extended cancellation concert of unexpected music, mixed, in this case, with an extensified, supercharged completion of the Sturgeon story begun two weeks ago. This is a nice show for all-around modern interest. It’s truly a golden age of iritainment for all. We’d like to give you a free kitchen with this one, but you wont need it because this one cooks all the way through. Chew with your ears.

Edited version (by Vicki) here:
We join together to mix 2000 announcements. These range from several announcements from General Injectables concerning all their current mergers, to fractured and re-edited public service announcements of all kinds. Dr. Harold Camping and Dave Emory take some calls, Michael Jackson protests his innocence, Bob and Ray awards to past programming, celebrity tooth decay for kids, know your W.W.II planes, Jack In The Box is now safe and wholesome, the need for pep pills, and about 1995 more announcements, along with ever constant cut-ups of the musical variety. Hot stuff. Run time 2h:57m:44s
Over The Edge – The Sound of Austria II
October 1998
More recordings from “The Sound Of Music” made on and off stage, (counting the money, etc.) and big pieces of the final show in Linz. The attempted Julie Andrews interview, “Oh how happy we will be when we learn our harmony,” receptacle input, participant discussions about how this performance should be done… and how it was done! More Cha Cha, more food, more beer, NPR, the RIAA, underground Austrian elf land from a miniature train, the best parts of show three, and new mixing with material used and left out. Thanks to Staalplaat and Time’s Up for creating this get together – People Like Us, Music Toerist, Barbed, Negativland.

Over The Edge Archive – Fake Bacon Breakfast Loop III
June 1998
This final in a series, like the other two, is being sent live to London, England via our semi- phone fidelity teletour box to a temporary art thing radio station, Resonance FM. It’s a loopy breakfast thing because it airs from 8 to 11 am in England. Lots of good piggy mixing between Negativland’s “Smelly Water” (a studio remix/collaboration of/with Chumbawamba’s “Drip, Drip, Drip”), Bob and Ray’s “House of Toast,” a report by Raymond Bien, President of General Injectables, a Weatherman club soda break, there’s hog fat all over the highway, a telephone tape exchange with People Like Us, Dave Emory expounds on a crucial assassination link in the SRL show he witnessed this evening, the Stupid Song, Orson Welles and sincerity, “traffic, weather, changing the refrigerator light bulb, “So tired” loops, and loops that go on forever…

The Weatherman, Wobbly, and Dave Emory join Bud Goode for a highly technical and receptacle content infused show. Some discussion on the Teletour concept, as this show was apparently simulcast via phone line to UK radio station Resonance FM.
The Weatherman’s tired. People Like Us phones in. The recurring ‘F-You’ guy keeps calling. Includes riveting episode of What Are We Supposed To Think Now with Tilt Reptilian & Dave Emory. Random show note: The original donor of Don’s ’78 Nova calls in at around the 35 minute mark.
