about

Part 2 of 5 - The Weatherman (David Wills) talks to callers and jammers on the HAM radio. More of the mix including a '...forget that knowledge...' infinite loop from an old radio drama. A clip from an interview with Peter (of Raymond & Peter) can be heard over the phone. Various blasts of feedback. More material about Mars with Richard Hoagland including the interview with Art Bell. The band plays music amidst various audio samples about space research, travel, and exploration, etc. A UMN (Universal Media Netweb) Station I.D. is heard. The Weatherman gives the KPFA Station I.D. We hear more of the mix. Wang Tool gives a UMN Station I.D. More music is played over various echoed samples. The 'True or False' sample is heard about 3/4 of the way through which would be the centerpiece of the True/False tour later in Negativland's Career. Richard Hoagland speculates on the meaning of the White House's non-response to a report criticizing NASA. He talks to a caller on the Art Bell Show about the similarities between the Egyptians pyramids and the 'pyramids' on Mars. Hoagland urges people to call the White House to complain about NASA's 'coverup' of findings on Mars. Negativland improvises more music amidst various samples. Another UMN I.D. is played. More calls are taken. Two callers talk to each other (one of them might be Ronald Redball). The Outer Limits opening theme is sampled with a cd scanner and there are various samples of old radio serials and monologues.
