Back in the days before regularly scheduled all-out noise jams coalesced at WEFT in the form of the NoizAssembly, impromptu, epic noise battles erupted on the Incoming Wounded program, which still airs Saturdays midnight to 4 AM.
This recording is one of the earlier ones, June 2, 1996. Scumbag joins host Edlee’ B’n Hadd for an cheap electronics effects orgy with guitar and any sort of banging thing thrown in for good measure. The whole experience is more than 3 hours long, so it’s broken up into two parts to make it more user friendly.
Here’s Part 2 of Incoming Wounded w/ Scumbag Bastard, June 2, 1996
Oh, those were the days. Before the dot-com boom and bust, before 9/11, before Billy would spill his seed all over a blue dress. So innocent we were, it’s hard to conceive how Scumbag could not have been elected president himself.
This show aired right at midnight of the 1996 presidential election, where good ol’ Billy Clinton beat Bob Dole, plunging the old man into erectile dysfunction and forcing him to pimp viagra on national TV. It became so bad for wife Elizabeth that she had run away to North Carolina and become a Senator herself, just to get some peace and quiet from the old codger’s overactive weasel.
Ah, but that’s still the future in 1996.
Here we have a little election collage, sliced and diced that very night from live TV coverage, along with plenty of ranting and raving.
Glenn Beck is one of the most famous improv artists in the US, but you really have to sort the wheat from the chaff in order to truly appreciate his brilliance as a performance artist. One whole hour of Beck is really only for the most devoted. So, as a public service, I, Scumbag Bastard, present the March 22, 2010 show pre-digested for you. This was the Monday after the health care reform act passed.
