1:00:43 - My audio collages in order of production. These attempt to capture the strange magic of 8-bit technology creeping into our analog world during the 1970’s and 80’s.  Malls video games, commercials, and mass-market entertainment. Excitement and fear, the threat of nuclear annihilation, hope that technology would change us, hope that products would change us, faith in progress.

1:53:12 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I made this tape to record my thoughts on the status of my creative projects, and to come up with plans for the future. This was just a few months after I started The Overnightscape in 2003. My ideas were all over the place and quite unrealistic, but somehow, all these years later (February 2019 now), it’s all kind of worked out…

58:08 – Doc Sleaze recalls his youth via the medium of TV commercials, providing a commentary on a series of UK television ad breaks from 1967 to 1982.  We chart the development of the TV ad, the changing product mixes advertised on TV and even encounter the odd celebrity endorsement.  Dudley Moore assures us that size isn’t everything while Arthur Fowler from ‘East Enders’ tries to convince us that that Britain’s most reviled car is actually cutting edge.  Talking chimps, Martian robots and many more bizarre spokespeople try to sell us stuff they just wouldn’t advertise on TV any more.
