Guest Hanratty Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 this reminded me of that new 30-something hour Terre Thaemlitz album. If you don't know People Like Us, well, you should. I can recommend the Phil Niblock set from this. http://blog.wfmu.org...-to-stream.html Trumping any WFMU DJs who ever felt winded after the old 4 hour long 2-6am overnight slot, WFMU's beloved People Like Us is too good at programming insanely long radio shows. She's got a 24/7 Do or DIY stream on WFMU and put together a 744 hour long broadcast for the UK's AV Festival called Radio Boredcast. Which is where I pass the mic to PLU... We are very pleased to inform you that Radio Boredcast has now been archived in its entirety at WFMU. Given that Radio Boredcast is a 744-hour online radio project, we consider today, The Longest Day, a most appropriate time to make this announcement. Curated by Vicki Bennett (People Like Us) with AV Festival, Radio Boredcast responds to our ambiguous relationship with time - do we have too much or not enough? - celebrating the detail, complexity and depth of experience lost through our obsession with speed. BASIC.fm first hosted the project through the duration of AV Festival (1-31 March 2012) and now this unique and colossal archive is accessible for Listen on Demand at WFMU. An impressive list of participants (including WFMU DJs) were invited to create new radio shows, audio works and mixes in response to the AV Festival theme "As Slow As Possible" and thematic playlists and contextual programming surround these creations. The full list of participants are: Carl Stone, Pseu Braun & Alex Orlov, Touch, Rob Weisberg, Nicolas Collins, Andrew Lahman, Chris & Cosey, Jonathan Dean and Transmuteo, Cheese Snob Wendy, Kevin Nutt, Tony Coulter, Daniel Menche, Scott Williams, John Wynne, Chris Watson, Jem Finer and Longplayer, Tim Maloney, Ergo Phizmiz, Matmos, Dave Soldier, Charlie and Busy Doing Nothing, Andrew Sharpley, Nancy O Graham, Gwilly Edmondez, Anna Ramos & Roc Jiménez De Cisneros, Doug Horne, Irene Moon, David Suisman, Radio Web MACBA, Mark Gergis and Porest, Jez Riley French, Don Joyce, Carlo Patrao and Zepelim, Dorian Jones, Jason Willett, Zach Layton, Primate Arena with Alex Drool and Eran Sachs, David Toop, Dylan Nyoukis, Jared Blum and GiganteSound, Ed Pinsent, Adrian Philips aka Mr Rotorvator, Axel Stockburger, Craig Dworkin, Felix Kubin, People Like Us, Language Removal Services, Daniela Cascella, John Levack Drever, Joel Eaton, Clay Pigeon, Gudrun Gut, Charles Powne, Carl Abrahamsson, Andreas Bick and Silent Listening, Phantom Circuit, Patti Schmidt aka Wheelie Houdini, Leif Elggren, Ken Freedman, Erik Bünger, Douglas Benford, Christof Migone, BJNilsen, Andy Baio, Adam Thomas aka Preslav Literary School, Caroline Bergvall, Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, Tapeworm, Brent Clough and The Night Air, Ilan Volkov, Nat Roe, Steven Ball, X41, The Long Now Foundation, Sharon Gal, Michael Ruby, Jonathan Leidecker, DJ/rupture, Gordon Monahan, Michael Cumella aka MAC, Lloyd Dunn and nula, DDDJJJ666, and Kenneth Goldsmith.. Thematic playlists run throughout from "Acconci" to "ZzzŠ" programmed by Vicki Bennett. Although the theme is Slowness, we urge you to get over there now and have a listen!

Guest Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Oh my god, I haven't even listened to the whole 12hour radio broadcast by Autechre. 744 hours, nothing you can record. Insane, but I bet Vicki does the best there. She does really excellent things in the past and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kichiguy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I recommend March 16, 17, 18 and 19. Lots of material for 30 years of Touch records and a memorium for Peter Christopherson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
