*SPOILER ALERT*

(For this marked-off section of text).

Certain portions of this program's online 'liner note' documentation will be labelled or preceded with the words '*SPOILER ALERT*'. This is to denote that the following detailed description, including the disclosure and accreditation of specific derived content used in the content being described, might spoil the listener's experience prior to listening. For best listening effect, it is recommended for the listener to NOT READ such 'SPOILER ALERT' labelled documentation PRIOR TO LISTENING in order to preserve the spirit of delightful recognition and surprise which is an intended effect when hearing this altogether re-contextualized and culturally referenced material.

Track 3 offers some interesting remixes and re-takes on some iconic songs from Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' putting them into a 'Trump' context. Along with 'The Trumpiest Years of Their Lives' (track 9) and the track directly before that '(The Real Story of) Donald Trump's Brothers' which employs the 'Wall' song 'The Thin Ice' in the exploration of the tragic story of what happened to Trump's older brother, Freddie.

Freddie is the Father of Donald's niece, Mary, who acts as a kind of 'Greek chorus' in this story's tragedy.

This track starts off a bit repetitively with the piece 'Isn't This Where...' by The Former Yugoslavia which is based on a 'bookending' sample from Pink Floyd's iconic 1979 rock opera album, 'The Wall'. This track appears on NCN's 'Various Artists' compilation album, 'Deconstructing the Wll'. The track is available here:

Other send-ups of pieces from 'The Wall' follow.

The updated version of 'Nobody Home' (adapted for the Internet age and sung and re-written by Phineas Narco) also appears on the track 'Pink Floyd Parodies' on NCN's 'Trump Mayhem' available here:

The program that this track is a part of, 'THE APOCALYPSE OF DONALD J. TRUMP (Vol. 1): The Origin Story', was made in the early part of the summer of 2021 and was worked on over a number of months and streamed in developing form over NCN's live bi-weekly webcast.

The title's use of 'Origin Story' is a riff on a term given to film vehicles which are essentially prequels, often applied to cinematic villains (such as Darth Vader or The Joker) showing the audience 'how they got that way'. Since Donald J. Trump is literally almost a larger-than-life cinematic 'villain' (almost an amalgam of 'the main bad guy' in every Steven Segal movie ever made) we thought we would give him his own real-life 'origin story' told in our own psychedelic and artistic sound collage media mix form.

This mix might very well be eye-opening to those of you who think you 'know Trump' and most listeners are bound to learn most likely more than a little more about the 'making of this monster' by listening to this program.

All derived material used herein is accredited (as best we can), transformed and used fairly, NOT for the purpose of profit, but rather for self-expression, creative therapy, and the cultural enrichment and education of the public at large.
