Edition #30: IN THE EYE OF THE A=N=D=R=E=W=S - listen | listen with RealPlayer First broadcast May 31, 2005 On this show, we welcome Bruce Andrews to the studio. Andrews is a professor of political science at Fordham University and has published about forty books of poetry, performance, essays and a wide range of other collaborations since the late 1960s. His most recent books have been published online. One of the creators of Language Poetry, he co-edited L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E magazine with Charles Bernstein in the late 70s and early 80s as well as The L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Book. Among wild shoots of disjunct in syntax, semantics and typography, his poetry is formed by a belief in the disruption of language as a political act capable of bringing about change. Bruce performs excerpts of his latest sound collaborations showcased at Diapason Gallery - and in the process, reveals one of his many I's to Edwin. |

Edition #17: Ambient Language - listen | listen with RealPlayer For this special "Live Nude Radio" mix, our stripped-down host Edwin Torres starts out with British poet Caroline Bergvall's "Ambient Fish" - from the fantastic audio journal, "Frequency" (CAConrad13@aol.com) - Brian Eno and a West Coast rapper's endless praise. Buckle up as Torres bears witness to "The Popedology Of An Ambient Language," originally written for a conference at Georgetown University and delivered as well at Naropa University, the whole having been based on a Poetry & Pedagogy Symposium at Bard College - heady stuff aired-out for radio and supported with further ambient music from Mali, OozeBap Records, Grupo Folklorico, Donna Summer, M83, Once11, Tipsy and Kansas. What more fitting finale than Alice Coltrane's "Universal Consciousness" and Tricky's "Christiansands." Language is breath, breath is mother-father-sister-brother - MOFASIBRO - liberation from page, page is wall, mistranslation of the ambient. Fascinating, this obstacle liberation has become. |

Curtis Mayfield gives us some futureshock with Prince Buster dusting madness over reality-checking Lou Reed reminding us there is no time, even mature Adolescents know a thing or two about democracy, just ask Joey Ramone venting from 2nd Street (or Joey Ramone Way) to suburbia.
