So nice to listen to something you like on MMC and not have to find out all the horrible things the musicians and their followers have done.

@ron-ji - so how do you think these loops got so disintegrated? Basinkski did it by enslaving new age hippies and bilking their grandmas out of millions!

this is so good I can't turn it off even though I want to watch Ted Lasso

Best single-song set on FMU since the “Murder Most Foul” + monkey sounds marathon.

Just make this the soundtrack to Ted Lasso. You could be on to the next generation’s Dark Side /Wizard of Oz synch up.

love these Disintegration Loops Jim the Poet. I was bummed I missed out on tickets in NYC for the 20th anniversary performance on 9/11/21 but less bummed when I found out it was being done by a symphony and William Basinski couldn't make it to the event.

The Dylan/Chimp duet really improved my appreciation of Murder Most Foul. I didn't appreciate it at all until the chimp showed up.

There are a few symphonies I wouldn’t mind seeing disintegrated. And a few that nearly disintegrated me.

good news @Jim is that there are a whole set of these LPs so I think you could do like a 6-hour show of DL.

What’s especially delightful about this is that it really IS Music of Mind Control. I think it’s often hard to get the brainwashing effect of much of the cult music Micah-ji has taught us to worship in five or ten minute samples.

Jim the Poet:

I was going to play Howlin' Wolf but I am wavering
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm

you could also say this is perfect music for mind control. kind of culty, def religious (of a special sort)

GeoEnvi:

Honestly, this gives ambient music all the deserving ridicule it sometimes deserves.

Especially the drone-y stuff. If you just THINK about it you don’t really get the full experience.

Hello Jim The Poet and freeform friends! I am testing a laptop that was glitching and freezing up recently, so I've had a 24-hour youtube video of rain falling playing on it (and it hasn't frozen yet, yay) and the rain is a nice compliment to the loops. If anyone's bored by this (but how, I ask?), I suggest adding rain sounds to it. :-)

I think we’ve all seen enough WILD, WILD COUNTRY and Columbo reruns to suspect SOMETHING is up.

Since I first raised the B-word, I feel I should note I was merely alluding to the zen (or something) koan (or whatever) about passing from boredom to fascination, a concept which clearly inspired John Cage, Pope of the Cult of Weird Music.

  6:44pm
ron-ji:

For me it’s not boredom at all, more a case of “forgetting” about it for a while (like many of you I have other stuff playing too) and then “remembering” it’s still there. Which really is the process of meditation, after all.
