On the spur of the moment, I decided that EASGS would unofficially take part in the John Cage Centennial Festival by airing Cage's ROARATORIO in its entirety. I swear it isn't because I forgot to plan this week's show (these back to back 5th and 1st Thursdays always sneak up on me!). For this program, I'm trying something different. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of you might not feel like listening to an hour-long Irish circus. Rather than making you hold down fast-forward (and risk skipping me entirely!) I've split the first half of the show off as Program 26.1. The podcast you can dance to is Program 26.2. Note, if you're the sort of weirdo who ONLY wants to listen to avant literary sound effects, my further discussion of the piece extends into the beginning of 26.2.
- Stereolab - "John Cage Bubblegum" (from Why Popstars Can't Dance)
- The Grouse dutifully introduces the Circus.
- Stereolab - "Three Women" (from Chemical Chords)
- John Cage - "Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake" (from Roaratorio)
