May 31 - Alex Week/Rejected Wii Play Games
Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things
I had that as a textbook once. It's interesting, if you're into cognitive ethnography, analogies, and aboriginal languages. The title comes from the fact that there's a group of aborigines in Australia that has a four-category system (like German's three-gender, or Latin's two-gender system), and the words for women, fire, and dangerous things in general happen to be in the same group.
Much more than I'm sure you wanted to know. You may now continue your regularly-scheduled randomness.

I know the destruction of the RCA camera was traumatic Alex, I'm sorry. Was a silly 18 year old at the time. But on the flipside, everything had been screwing up on it. The microphone broke (no more audio), the viewfinder fell off and was being held together with ductape, and the power button, with other functions were failing... so I wanted to know what the camera see's when being destroyed.
Also I think I just found a quicktime version of the camera snuff vid. It's hard to watch

About the piece 'Time's Encomium:' Excerpted here. Composed by Charles Wuorinen in 1968/1969 on one of the earliest sound synthesizers, built by RCA. The RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer, a room-sized collection of electronic gear, was vandalized by thieves in the 1970s, not long after this piece was created.
Talk about random!

[quote="anotherearth"]Total audio file time = 1:06:19
Actual LRRCast time = 44:40
DEAD AIR = 21:39
I was thinking that maybe it was one of those "hidden track" kinda deals and that there'd be something more after Alex finished his old-timey song ...but nope.
If you play the podcast backwards you get a secret message.

Re: May 31 - Alex Week/Rejected Wii Play Games
I have been trying to catch up on podcasts from before i started following lrr, and this seems to be the only one i cant download. Anyone know how i can fix this, or is this lrrcast forever lost in the aether?
