The Bits In Between [2008]

From the digital gutter, here lie all the soundbytes edited out of mic breaks for People Like Us’s radio show DO or DIY on WFMU from June to September 2005. The show is all about cutting together avant with pop, and the only aspect of this one hour a week that has ever felt slightly out of place has been the necessary mic breaks. So now we do them justice by taking the entire unedited 3 hours, and in Language Removal Service style we take out all the meaning and are left with 34 minutes of delicious background noise, voice glitches and hesitations.

Over The Edge – How Radio Isn’t Done Pt. 4
29 September 2005

Audio Player

This five hour edition moves on and on with all our continuing radio characters like Negativland doing an interminably incompetent broadcast from WNUR, Evanston Ill. while on tour in 2000, the continuing free-dum saga of Howard Stern, an entry from “Another UFO” in which Art Bell is debunked and Jackie Gleeson interrogates the author of a 50s UFO book on the Long John Neble Show, Chris Morris with “On The Hour” from the early 90s BBC, People Like Us, and more.

Over The Edge Archive – Baby Is Three II

Over The Edge – Baby is Three II
10 October 2002

Audio Player

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.

Over The Edge Archive: 2000 Announcements

Over The Edge – 2000 Announcements
13 January 2000

Audio Player

Edited version (by Vicki) here:

2000 Announcements on Over The Edge on KPFA

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 Archive: Another UFO – Disclosure

Over The Edge – Another UFO – Disclosure
23 December 1999

Audio Player
Examples from the way the press USED to report this stuff, and numerous very convincing eyewitness reports, most by commercial airline pilots, which don’t leave much doubt that there sure is SOMETHING out there in the air lanes that doesn’t conform to anything that officialdom traditionally invokes to explain them. I like the pilot reports most of all because they are usually once or twice in a lifetime sightings and these people generally down to earth and know what they are looking at up there. The physical proximity of some of these air to air encounters is truly disconcerting and although we are assured this has happened a lot, few pilots ever come forward before retirement because their employers make it clear that their jobs are at stake if they do. Added to these are some of the approaches to government and the courts by various researchers who want to sue states and the federal government for not protecting us from invasion as promised by the Constitution, immunity for military witnesses and government employees in congressional hearings, establishing public petitions and legal affidavits from eyewitnesses among the public, as well as some interesting experiences and insights from an employee of the Ministry of Defense in the U.K. whose job it was to investigate UFO activity over England. At least they openly acknowledge the possibility…. Of course all this attempted seriousness is constantly choked off in the public sector by that darling of modern media, ridicule.
