Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet

The Mercury Theatre On The Air

The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them.

dick around

at my new job the week before last my boss, who is a insane fall fan, only had 3 cds in the shop for me to listen to, steve reich, which I played 3 times, something else i listened to for a minute, and Sparks which I listened to about 5 times and started to like, probably won't ever listen to it by choice again though.

BANDS LITERALLY FUCKING THEMSELVES



GREAT - The tiny drumkit that he barely fits behind, looks like it'll fall apart any minute because he's smashing the shit out of it. Totally blown-out sound, the drums pulse, the guitar cuts through like razorwire, the bass distorting all over the place and he's so totally relaxed about it... the matching suits, guitars amps AND hair, the bow at the end. Totally great.




TERRIBLE - Not only the massive pointless golden drumkit (2 bass drums, really?!) but ALSO an extra drummer who looks like he's fucking the original drummer's wife behind his back. The sound has been drained of all life... They now have a cowboy on guitar who has been enjoying himself a bit too much over the past few years and doesn't really seem to know what's going on. The other guitar player can't even be bothered to stand up. The bass player... he's now very keen, with his lovely flares, flipped up collar and dad dancing. And it all ends with a hug.
Actually this is also totally great.

TUNNOCKS

steel drum freak out

Saw Wildbirds & Peacedrums at the Union Chapel the other night, absolutely incredible. From her singing without any mic and just drums to backed by a full choir, and it was well nice to sit down on a pew and have a hot chocolate at a gig. Yes I have reached that stage.
