BLEND

Before the Machine, I did a show called "The
Industrial Strength Blend".  On Saturdays,
Midnight to 3AM.

This was the Manifesto:

    This is the Voice of Doom
                                                    THE_VOICE_OF_DOOM
    Many people have asked me, what is
    the _formula_ for the Industrial
    Strength Blend?  This isn't easy to
    say, since the blend draws on so
    many sources.

    But the point is not just to shock
    with contrasts, not for the sake of
    weirdness alone (for some of us,
    shocking weirdness comes all too
    easy).

    The point is to illuminate
    similarities underneath the
    differences,
    to create a classic tension/release
    narrative structure,
    to create a whole greater
    than it's parts
    (And doom is a master of great
    wholes).

    Each 3 song set must flow
    through angst & anger
    to acceptance, understanding,
    even joy.

    And at 2 AM it switches to a larger
    structure, the 45 minute, uninterrupted set,
    the essay on a theme,
    the collection of oddities,
    the odyssey of aspects.

    And of course, all of this is
    30 % industrial by weight.

    It's too ambitious, even
    doomed to failure, but
    in the end, what else is there
    but doom?

    The Industrial Strength Blend,
    Saturday Night from Midnight to
    3 AM on KZSU, Stanford, 90.1 FM.

    A show for all and none.
