Title: Radio Parade-EE-OH!
by Jim "China Man" Jimjammer

The big screen tells them what they want to hear, but do they listen?

NYC is the place to be if you want to see or hear and cheer and have beer. In this case we are referring to the biggest in the littlest of radio from DJs who spin and play and win (us over). The site was wide and open and warehouse-ish but perfect for many pairs of headphones, many pairs of ears and total silence from the outside.
      
The gathering of players of all things noise and otherwise did indeed gather at six or so different “stations” that pumped out over six or so different frequencies. The object of the game was to pay the admission fee, don the headphones, and flip through your personal radio dial until you reached the frequency home of one of the present presenters. Utilizing razor-thin bandwidth, these disc-ing jockeys played all dem hits during anywhere from 20-minute to 2-hours sets. The boldest transmission wouldn’t reach more than 2 blocks from the outside of the building, with most of the broadcasts not even making it from one end of the indoor space to the other. Nevertheless, we could SEE with our own EARS how the sights correlated with the sounds and vice versa. And, if the bloody screechy noisiness got you down, you could always flip to WFME and check what the Zionists were up to.

Rocking to a different beat, not necessarily from the street, but
still really neat.

SUPERFUNTASTIC!
