There are times on What’s This Called? when we play music that is so out there that even we aren’t sure if the radio station equipment is malfunctioning or working perfectly. Kudos to the artists who can do that to us!

A fine collection of recordings on the edge. Interesting that you included the Blondie thing. In 1996 I saw Harry, Stein, and Valentine do a pre-reunion Blondie set at the William Buirroughs “Nova Convention, Revisited” in Lawrence, Kansas. The part in which Harry read from Burroughs text and the band improvised beat jazz alongside was quite impressively fun. Keep up the good work Ricardo.
