... *as usual* I really like this!

I always announce this at my radioshows as a *new form of entertainment* The combination of mixed sound and slidehow.

By the way - the more the listener understands what is going on - the better .. even if it's 4 tracks mixed together ..

So:

Red Lipstick On Your Robot Lover

... is a real goodie!

LL, I am happy that you like it! This time there are only three layers, instead of the usual four.

I think that's a good move - it's still a real cut up reality but with much more clarity!

Reporting on behalf of Special Agent Martha Singer: the second half of I Have a Theory had her stitches. That Mount Rushmore joke is too funny!

This is a great assemblage! Great job by all special agents. I love the slide show, lots of abstract art, the circuit bent casio sounds fantastic.Damn thats a lot of food looks yummy. I agree with LL I think the 3 layers works well. JoDay Hell thats everyday lately. Good old Stanley hop skip jump, nobody knows time lol Lumem K always good to hear you on these. 2 pairs of socks in workboots outer sock catches the sweat inner stays dry, believe me, it works, been doing that at work for 30 years, unless of course you piss on your boots :), get caught in big thunderstorm, or cleaning up paint gear. Boo Hoo on the feelings, you cant wear them on your sleeve like lots do. Stanley has to bark at the neighbor its his job lol, Yeah you got to make it to retirement, as we all do, its all quite possible making more, depends on when & fucking medicaire/Medicaid , I think #4 is my favorite this time round!

    I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

    I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated the Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service and label, and recorded solo as Dog As Master, and in a duo as Viscera.

    I published six issues of the original Electronic Cottage print magazine, 1989-91.

    In the last 44 years I have recorded, produced and released more than 300 solo audio works, collaborations and compilations.
