March 2006

Socks

Sunday, March 26, 2006

Steve has very exacting standards as to the fiber content and length of his socks, and he goes to great lengths to describe them to us. The Broken News this week features the recent “Rosemary” Award to the CIA and the threat of WMDs in Scotland. A proposal is set forth to combine North and South Dakota into a single state, and the music will put you in a state.


Necropolis

Sunday, March 19, 2006

Aided and abetted by NO SHOW “resident expert” Emily Levine, Steve trashes some of our most revered cultural phenomena: the Miss America Pageant, the Oscars, and the Olympics. The Broken News features "Cell Hell" in Kentucky and North Carolina (or maybe South Carolina. Do we really need two Carolinas? Isn’t one more than most of us will ever use?) Finally, the last of the Listeners’ Epitaphs and the induction into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis of Ali Farka Toure.


Mental Health

Sunday, March 12, 2006

Steve reminds us to continue worrying about our mental health, and he fills us in on the state of his. (Hint: this is Steve Post we are talking about.) In other business, The Broken News examines the many forms assumed by love in contemporary Zoroastrianism, Islam, and Animism; and Listeners’ Epitaphs continue to raise our spirits, that is to say, elevate our mood. The music will slay you.

Family Tree

Sunday, March 05, 2006

After The Broken News, Steve remembers two broken branches of his family tree, and Frank learns who invented the telephone. Latin jazz great, Ray Barretto, is inducted into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis, and in a macabre mass display of thanatos, NO SHOW listeners share their proposed epitaphs.

The music is dead on.
