I have several sets like this that I've done for my radio show or when I was subbing in for other folks. I guess my first venture into this sort of "entertainment" would have to lose originality points.. Right after Geist CD001 was released (the 3 CD set of Empire solo stuff) I ended up filling in for another DJ at my college station and played the Alec Empire Mix Show, 2 hours of nonstop Alec Empire stuff (none of which was even "riot beats!") from the set. Just me, a microphone, two CD players and one box set of Alec... I had a friend tell me he was sitting at a stoplight with the show blasting over his stereo when the pair of females parked next to him pulled out (with a red light!) and made a hasty exit after giving him nasty looks. Hee Hee. Last week I did the "Anti-Trans-Humanist" edition of my radio show, trying to illustrate why it's good to be a Luddite through the use of various grim and annoying electronic compositions (non-noise!). I started with "Windowlicker" and went through Cylob's "Rewind", Like A Tim's "Danger Everywhere", Regis "Theme From Streetwalker" as well as a couple of other grating hard techno repeat-o-traxx, a bit of Kid606, AFX's "Funny Little Man", a bit of the sloppy side of Pole, and included my "Fire Alarm Immunization Suite" which included Jamie Lidell's "jeezus.proc" from the Trash compilation. It was some of the most fun I've had doing my show in a while. What's scary is that I actually got a couple of calls. Tom
