bob and ray's outer space report

This is a clip from "Between Time And Timbuktu", a 1972 PBS adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's stories. Vonnegut was known to be a Bob & Ray fan...

Bob & Ray Radio Show, 1960



The great comedy duo Bob & Ray. This clip from 1960. Humor? Something far greater...

ANN STEEL

Roberto Cacciapaglia ft. Ann Steel...
Italian experimental musician + American super-model = pure genius... Look for the David Zed cameo...


“In my music there is nothing to understand. It is so superficial that I can’t find anything to say. My music is ingenuous, there is nothing inside it and it is for this reason, that I like it. It can be listened to while sipping tea, watching television, or while speaking with a friend. Even in a moment when one has nothing to do or is bored, the music can be listened to attentively and millions of little changes can be discovered. It is certainly not the ideal music; it is just one type of music.

The computer has been indispensable. It is a marvelously poetic instrument that evokes the beauty of the new technologic environment and it gives everything a great artificial taste of grand actuality. This music can be utilized in many ways and listened to by different people, which is what makes me happy because I want it to be accessible to everyone. I would like it to be even more simplistic, in fact, and my aspiration is to uncover it on a weightless day – so weightless, in fact, as to have it fly away like a balloon.”
