The Distract and Disable Program has a new host (!), sort of. Seems that Glue Banta has been imprisoned by the others (refer to episode 12, February, 2012) and Jonny Farrow has had to step up to fill in for him—indefinitely—all the way from the Windy City! So, as the indefinitely permanent guest host, Jonny has chosen a set of Chicago-centric themes for the upcoming year which may include: Sound Sculpture, Feedback, Analogue Synthesis, Contact Mics Here and There, The Lake, Phone Poems, Noise, The Loop, The Prairie, Public Address, Construction, The Lobby/Elevator/Escalator, The Chicago River. A combination of field recordings and studio creations/manipulations, the program will still serve the purpose of distracting and disabling, but lean more toward the site-specific. Anyway, anything could happen, but not everything will. Playlists, monthly show themes, and other program related documents and links can be found in the WGXC Archive and on the Distract and Disable blog. And, if you are the spiritual type, you may want to send good vibes out to Glue. He probably needs all the help he can get.
