Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from February 13, 2024 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

When I started at KPSU in Portland, Gary Wilson had just put out a new album, after years of just re-issues, and it was a big hit at our station. I wrote him an e-mail, and was astonished to find he wrote back almost immediately. Now he's on social media and is pretty active, but back then, I sort of assumed he would be hard to reach.

I enjoy some conspiracy theories. One of the amusing dichotomies is that people think the corporations and the pro-lifers are conspiring to keep Americans poor by guilting them into having babies. When they are not conspiring to lower the population with man-made viruses, of course.

Anyway, sex robots would lower the population considerably, I assume.

I'm not far from a pinball bar. It ain't cheap, though. In Chicago, there was a bar that had a pinball room that was free. I believe it was the one that had The Addams Family pinball machine.
