Inspired by the completion of a 26 minute piece called "Guns!" commissioned by New American Radio, from which the 16 minute Negativland EP "Guns" was later drawn. The entire 26 minute piece is played at the end of the show and almost all of it got recorded, including everything that does not appear on the "Guns!" EP. The rest of the time is filled with all the guns that didn't get fired in the studio piece. The President of the N.R.A. speaks as I shoot out the studio clock with a .22 revolver and famous music is peppered with captured gunfire. Fictional stuff by, for, about, and against our most pressing example of mass production spiraling out of control. Sometimes whimsical, poignant, or just drifting through an earscape of targets, we are never far from a song about guns. A few callers get shot.
