Please Support WFMU

WFMU will be taking pledges to send Station Manager Ken aloft with helium balloons on Wednesday, December 8th, 11am-noon (pre-game show starts at 9am)! For every $1000 we raise, we’ll fill up a balloon and tie it to Ken’s lawn chair. If we’re successful, Ken will lift off! We’ll host a live video feed of the whole debacle, so you won’t want to miss out.

Help keep WFMU and Ken aloft by using the brochure that will be hitting your mailbox soon, pledging online, or over the phone on December 8th. We’ve got a brand new t-shirt and a baseball cap up for grabs, too!

Jean Baudrillard Le Xerox et l’Infini – free download

These recordings were originally available on cassette on Tapeworm, but now that it is deleted we are making it available here for free.

Download at UbuWeb

Jean Baudrillard’s “Le Xerox et l’Infini” – originally published in Paris, 1987 – as read by Patricia and Ellen. Recorded on 12 July 2009 by Vicki Bennett in Hersham, England.
Translation: Agitac, London, November 1988.
The original text in French can be read here.

“Jean Baudrillard is perhaps the most important theorist of the ‘after modern’. Though he says himself he has ‘nothing to do with postmodernism’, many interpret him (along with Jean-François Lyotard) as among the most important prophets of a truly postmodern era. His works have attracted high praise and derision all over the world.”
