Flurries I got a bone to pick with WFMU. Admittedly I'm a sucker for all manner of artsy nonsense, but last Thursday - I think 1. I listened to nearly a half hour of New York city area weather forecasts - a years, possibly several years worth strung together in some infernal loop. All this due of course to the advanced miracle that is internet radio. Since WFMU doesn't do weather I knew it was some bodies project right off, but I listen anyway - expected some kind of payoff, some kind of punchline, if I put up with it long enough. Minutemen songs had punchlines. I always expect art to accomplish something, I don't know why, I don't know what. It was kind of hypnotizing: the snow flurries are getting thicker, no they're getting thinner, and temperatures are rising, tomorrow mornings commute will have to deal with violent hail... I'm weak; I eventually switched off before finding out who did it or if the dj had any decent segue lined up. Of Course they are the only radio station I know that plays Shari Elf. _______ 1. Wednesday. I suspect that I was listening to this. 9:22:36 PM    comment [];trackback [];
