The Overnightscape Underground

In the lastest issue of Weird NJ (#32), which just came out, there’s an article by Chris Gethard called “Tank You Veddy Much – On The Trail Of America’s Most InFamous, Possibly Dead Comedian — Andy Kaufman — In New Brunswick” about The Andy Kaufman Press Conference which I hosted back on November 9 of last year, in New Brunswick, NJ. Chris tells the story from his perspective, including his suspicions about me, and his high speed car chase afterwards. There are a lot of great pictures from the event (including 3 of me). The article is awesome and funny – definitely check it out if you can.

Unfortunately, the article is only available in the physical magazine – which I know has limited distribution outside (and even inside) New Jersey. But you can mail order it from the Weird NJ site.

This came as a very pleasant surprise, because I only learned of the existence of the article yesterday! I picked up a couple copies at the Barnes & Noble in Clifton, NJ, on Rt. 3, so I know they have it there.

I will be on the air on WFMU for the third time, tomorrow night/Sat. morning (4/25/09) from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM, New Jersey time. I will be filling in for “Zzzzzzero Hour with Bill Mac”.

You can listen over the radio airwaves in the NYC area on 91.1 FM. It is also broadcast on WXHD (90.1 FM) in Mount Hope, upstate New York. And of course, it will be streamed live at WFMU.org.

The interactive playlist will be active, where you can leave comments. Just go to WFMU.org when the show is on for a link to the playlist.

Though it was a bit tricky last time, I do plan on taking phone calls again, at some point during the show.

Hope to see you all there!!!

(Here is the page for The Rampler on WFMU. Once the show is complete, it will be archived here.)

Before the dawn of The Overnightscape in 2003, I used to make random recordings in NYC all the time. The idea was to capture interesting audio that I could use in my Internet radio project at the time, Bluffcosm.com.

The “City Cassette” series contains these recordings, one cassette per release. They will not be in chronological order, because I don’t think it matters that much.

This first cassette in the series contains a lot of interesting stuff, including some of my thoughts on the future of Internet radio, lots of sounds from the subway system, a visit to an old place of work, and a whole lot more. A good portion of it is  “ambient sound”, rather than me talking.

Here is how the tape is labeled: Side A: “1/31/01 – 2/14/01 NYC Audio”. Side B: “2/16/01 – 2/22/01 NYC D&A Snow / Subway Crowd”

–Frank
