We have gotten my late mother-in-law’s mail forwarded to our house so we could take care of bills and such. She got a lot of catalogs. Today I discuss the items for people who are much older than me in the firstSTREET: for Boomers and Beyond® catalog. Apparently, according to this company, many older people are extremely obsessed with making or buying stuff for their children and grandchildren and they are stereotypically full of technological ineptitude, requiring dumbed-down cellphones and computers in which all the storage exists online, managed by service personnel. But that catalog wasn’t meant for me, yet.

Music: “Becky the Office Party Drunk Girl” by Jeff MacDougall from Masters of Song Fu: Volume 1

“Atomic War” by Tripping Hazard from Wron: Suicide Goat

I recently went to see again John Carpenter’s nifty 1988 alien conspiracy flick “They Live” at the Plaza Theater in Atlanta, one of my favorite indie movie theaters. Besides the movie, the theater had a small art show consisting of conspiracy art. I was reading parts of the art show off into the microphone while I was waiting for some of the artists to come be interviewed, and I played around with the sound trying to make it sound more “alien”–there’s nothing wrong with your iPod!

I had a great time talking to the artists - Nick, who had the aluminum foil hat and Phillip with the alien mask. There was also a young woman who spoke but I didn’t catch her name. We discussed our favorite conspiracies.

Then it was time for the movie. Before the movie started, they had some slides with different mind-control instructions and soft chanting of “Sleep…sleep…sleep….”
