Some of the best background stuff had to be heard with earphones on and, shall
we say in a "relaxed" state. Ergo a series which started with:
You've got dual FM white stereos speakers with two competing frequencies, right
under the handy laminated wild west gun rack, with the look of real wood for
the channel of your choice (evolving into a drive and in the background you
could hear) "Santa Monica Freeway 1 mile, Santa Monica Freeway 1/2 mile, Santa
Monica Freeway 1/4 mile, etc" I once followed it down to about 1/128th mile.
Had to be helped up, though.

Ummm..... that was "Antelope Freeway".
The album was "How can you be in two places at once (when you're really
nowhere at all)
"And now, back to the freeway, which is already in progress"
as many of you know, the firesigners are just about finished with
another album (or rather CD) called "RadioNow".
i'm still in touch with phil proctor often.
what a good group of guys!
The great part of the "Antelope Freeway, 1/256th mile..." is that as the
fractions of a mile got smaller and smaller, the pacing of the
announcements stayed exactly the same.

1. The distance to the Antelope Freeway is incrementally halved in each
time interval. This is a reference to Zeno who hypothesized that
you can't reach your destination, ever, by halving the distance.
This was a problem of infinite time to reach zero.
(Note to GWLucky: "Zeno", the philosopher,
is not to be confused with "Xena", the cleavage-of-the-century. ;-)
and I've never been a room-mate to anyone in Grad school. )
2. If you try to envision an over-all, story-line to this side
of the album, The car runs out of gas on the Antelope Freeway on-ramp.
Our hero falls asleep at the wheel, and is inundated by an incredible
dream sequence stimulated and influenced by the TV, which he has left
on.
Most of the content are references to 40's and 50's style movies,
and 60's sytle American commercials.

This is cool to know, but since the pace of the announcements doesn't halve
itself (get quicker), it's just plain old funny to me. :D

Ahh. Unfortunately I've only taped, er bought [yeah], the "Ralph
Spoilsport Motors" part of it, off the "Shoes 4 Industry" best-of CD.
Lots of bits I'm sure are out of context (and all that more weird).
So far the albums I have are "Dwarf" and "Bozos". The "Bozos" reissue CD
I found at a Half Price Books has great liner notes & I'm grateful for the
backstory.

I thought that was from Tom Leher- of Masochism Tango and Poisoning
Pigeons in the Park fame.
One of my favorites, that I adore singing, clasping tightly to a
stranger's hand, is the waltz "I Hold Your Hand in Mine". But would
that make me the stranger? Hmm.
"I hold your hand in mine, dear.
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips.
My joy would be complete, dear, if you were only here,
but still I keep your hand as a precious souvenier.
The night you died I cut it off.
I really don't know why.
For now each time I kiss it, I get blood stains on my tie.
I'm sorry now I killed you, for our love was something fine,
and until they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine."

Sorry for the extra trouble, but SPAM is too much of an annoyance. I
actually prefer to read UseNet postings, if you can post instead of
emailing.
I've heard the 'New Math' tune. Snappy & funny, though not as twisted as
some of his other stuff.
BTW, have you heard the Animaniacs' tune "Multiplication"? It's another
one that's quickly sung, almost an update to Leher's (they sing the
praises of the calculator in the chorus)

Yes, I have. I like the "All the Countries in the world"- "United
States, Canada, Mexico, Panama..."; "Every Word in the English
Language"; the senses song; the 2 note song; Pinky's "Cheeses of the
World" and "Brain Scan!" And of course, anything performed by the
Great Wakkorotti.
