Favoriting The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from August 4, 2023 Favoriting

Rich in Washington's avatar View Rich in Washington's profile Favoriting

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

I went to high school with a Tim Maloney. I don't think this is him, though he did make his own stomp boxes....

That just shows you that everything that was ever said about Lorne Michaels being a cutthroat kind of guy wasn't far off the mark. Mike Myers was especially critical of him, as you probably know.

This Tim Maloney is also an animator/artist who also goes by Naked Rabbit. I believe he lives in Seattle but I may be wrong.

My gripe isn't so much with Michaels, who is obviously a mere leader. My criticism is directed to the writers, who were god-fucking-awful, and the actors (Belushi?! Chase?!), who were performing at high school levels at best.

I haven't watched SNL for years. Even complaining about it so so stale and boring. I DO wonder how it's going to do after Michaels retires and supposedly hands the reins to Tina Faye.

No. Complaining that complaining about SNL is stale and boring is ITSELF stale and boring.

There.

Good god, Tina Fey.

Yeah, you could tell by the 1980-81 season that things were ready to fall apart on SNL. And it was starkly clear by the following season when the new cast was brought in. Imo, Michaels should've laid it to rest by Season 40.

Dean:

My observation is that after the first twenty minutes of the first episode, SNL was in the toilet.

We could do a "Jump The Shark" poll on SNL here in the chats, but it probably wouldn't end well.

I will say this for SNL, well after it had jumped the shark or whatever, weirdly beloved writer Aaron Sorkin made a show set on a similar program called Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip with sketches for the fictional show that were so much worse...

I was listening to this kind of music around the time it was coming out, merely on a whim, through a radio show on the Rutgers radio station I listened to often. Then DJ Donna Summer arrived at the mothership playing the hell out of this stuff. I also have CD's of Kid 606 & Venetian Snares in my collection.
