The Flaming Lips, "A Spoonful Weighs a Ton"

:

I was the Studio Manager for Joel Meyerowitz at the time of the attacks and we spent a year involved with the various Aftermath projects. During this time I was also going down to the site and interviewing construction workers on the job in the pit about their experiences for a radio piece that eventually aired on this station. I pulled out "The Soft Bulletin" album one day and when this came on it so aptly spoke to my experience of being down there as these guys were clearing the debris and sifting remains. I thought about using it for the piece I was working on but it took a different direction and did not use music.
