Let’s ignore masochistic theories for the time being; it’s hard to justify paying for cable these days. You’re getting around 300 channels, while regularly watching maybe five of them, and much of your time is spent navigating the guide trying to find something to watch anyway. Oblivious to the futility of that ultimate goal (at least while you’re in the process of searching), the fact is, most of what’s on television is utterly mind-numbing, and possibly devolutionary. If only there was a channel that offered serene nature shots with a looped recording of a goat playing subtly in the background.
You’re in luck, outdoorsy goat fetishists! Cameron Stallones a.k.a. Sun Araw has just started an audio/visual series with the Los Angeles-based indie radio station dublab, called “Second System Vision Radio.” The name isn’t quite enough to give you the gist, so Stallones graciously elaborated: the project is “a monthly stakeout involving a complex filtration system including but not limited to tunes, talks, texts, and video.” Uh huh. You know, words, while wonderful, aren’t always the best at conveying an idea. Go ahead and check out the first episode, entitled “Linen Clothes,” below (stay til the end for a chess match with Jeff Witscher a.k.a. Rene Hell).
