The Evolution Control Committee drops in to Negativland's legendary radio show Over The Edge tonight!  Wobbly and Phineas Narco will also guest.  Here's how Phineas bills the show (slightly edited):

Negativland logoPhineas Narco of The National Cynical Network will be on KPFA tonight 4/22/10 (Thursday Night / Friday Morning) from 12am - 3am (PST) mashing up Beatles samples from 12am - 3am on Negativland's Radio Show 'Over the Edge' with Don Joyce of Negativland, TradeMark G. from The Evolution Control Committee and Wobbly (Jon Leidecker)  [...]  Tune in to hear radio history being made by going to kpfa.org and listening to the live feed at that time. We will probably play an edit of this on the Sunday Plundercast Show streaming this coming Sunday 4/25/10 at 10pm EST and simulstreamed (Sunday) as well on DFM radio out of Amsterdam. The Beatle mix we will be performing live on "Over the Edge" is based on the album 'Beatlerape' by Big City Orchestra, a version of which was performed live at the Big City Orchestra 30th Anniversary Show at the Cafe DuNord. This is a further developed version of that performance. If you are in the SF Bay Area you can tune in through regular radio at 94.1 FM. Call in during that time by dialing 510-848-4425, in the states, and listening through the telephone (as KPFA has a broadcast delay).

What with the success of ECC's Reels Of Steel soundtrack for Nosferatu last weekend, this week's episode of The Sound Of Plaid will go to the movies!  Soundtracks for movies big and small will be our theme, sharing music and dialogue from movies including better known ones like Casino Royale and Barbarella, alongside lesser-known classics like American Astronaut, What Do You Say To A Naked Lady? (by Allen Funt of Candid Camera fame), the blaxploitation classic Sweet Sweetback's Badaaaaaaas Song, and many many more.  We'll also talk about the recent Reels Of Steel show and how we came to mix up 50 albums for the soundtrack of a 64 minute movie.

Many chances to hear the show, and if you can't make the times below, you can hear it at The Sound Of Plaid Archives (new & improved!) later in the week.
