You'll Forget About Life, You'll Forget About Time: Transmission 260, 2016 January 27

Here is another program that came off well, featuring that unicorn of the "Physical Evidence" bestiary, the non-streamable 4AD record. There must be a story behind the non-spotification of "The Mercy Seat," but I have no idea what it is. I was and was not paying attention during this time, no matter how many people say that the 80s and 90s were "my era."

I will tell you this: if it weren't for 4AD releases from 1988 / 1989 / 1990, I would pretty much have no recollection of those years at all. I know that I was in school, that I was in a band, that I worked as a barista, that no one used the term "barista," that I was seeing someone, that I was doing theatre, and that I wasn't eating meat. That seems like a lot but if you scratch beneath the surface you just get a bland, creamy nougat of vagueness. (My counselor and I are working on this.)

But damned if I don't have every last thing 4AD put out during this time. If I'm giving Ultra Vivid Scene short shrift here it's because I wasn't particularly a fan of theirs (well, his, but in the case of this record they are a "they"). [KURT RALSKE: if you're reading this please don't be offended, I said the same thing about Bowie, so my words don't mean anything except that my taste is probably bad.] But this is a good and good-sounding record.

Scheduling reminder: again, I express some uncertainty about the program schedule in this broadcast because I didn't know it at the time, but we are staying at 2100 Eastern Time on Wednesdays, so there's that, if you happen to like any of this.
