Sleepless in Atlanta

Probably because I went to bed earlier than normal, I awoke at 2:00 a.m. and remained awake until 4:00 a.m. Thank goodness Georgia Tech has a good radio station (WREK) that plays hours of "experimental" and "avant garde" music at these wee hours. It gave me something on which to concentrate, but I have to admit I often question the "talent" of the "artists." The music last night sounded like and seemed achieved through:

Throwing compact refrigerators down a flight of metal stairs.

Recording the inside of a running dishwasher.

Taking a bookshelf speaker, turning it on its back, putting BBs in the woofer cone, and playing some old 78s.

4-year-olds just barely playing saxophones.

Dentist drill going faster/slower while poetry is read in Icelandic.

Radio tuned in between stations and left playing this way for 14 minutes.

Again, items thrown down a flight of metal stairs, but this time they were large cardboard boxes containing jingle bells and old hubcaps.

Machine shop with some guy pounding away on wood blocks and muttering.


Two hours of the above will make you tired enough to go back to sleep.
