TITLE : Do or DIY with People Like Us

SUPPORT : WFMU

WEB : wfmu.org/playlists/PL and peoplelikeus.org/radio.htm

LENGTH : 20 minutes - 3 hours

STYLE : sound art, DJ, mix

CONCEPT 5

A simultaneous mix of what’s low-brow and high-brow in music.  Very original.  Requires some attention.

CONTENT 4

Totally unexpected.  There’s world music, classic rock, pop, live noise from the environment, screaming, cheering, cartoon noise bloopers, and probably more I haven’t even picked up on.  Songs are often played simultaneously, creating rich, interesting melodies almost by accident.

LISTENING EXPERIENCE  4

Some pieces will draw you in more than others.  The hits are hits though, and what isn’t appealing usually involves screaming.  But if you’re into screaming, you might enjoy every minute of every episode.

BEST PLACE TO LISTEN 4

In the studio doing what you do, use it to tune out construction, or sit at home and listen alone.
