This album is the summation of years of on-air research and development of the Chopping Channel: A place on the dial where music—and lots more!—was swallowed, digested, exhumed, consumed, and presented for sale at prices that didn’t last long. Broadcasting live from Negativland’s legendary Over The Edge radio program, this album brings you cultural appropriation at its most typical, with jokes that aren’t that funny because they aren’t really jokes. Atop a relentlessly atomized mix of thousands of fragmentary samples of indeterminate origin, re-mulched into one continuous and time-saving stream of music, the salesmen (and woman) of the Chopping Channel dare to sell you the music you’re already listening to, as well as the culture you’ll need to survive in the years to come.

A cavalcade of special guest hosts, including Mark Gergis (Porest, Mono Pause / Neung Phak) and regulars Bud Choke and Help Suit, breathlessly parade the goods you need and instant-compose new modern music classics as the show progresses. The Over the Edge program is history’s longest-running freeform radio show, as heard on Thursdays at midnight on KPFA FM in Berkeley, California since 1981. Originally helmed by the late Don Joyce, and now by Jon “Wobbly” Leidecker, this CD is the latest release in a series of Negativland albums carefully crafted from on-air recordings, and represents the last released work completed with Don Joyce before his death in 2015. DON'T LET THIS GO BY... GO BUY!

The original copies of this CD were packaged with several actual grams of Don Joyce's actual remains, plus one of his hand-made "cart" tapes.

"An offshoot from the weekly radio show presented for the last 38 years by plunderphoniasts, satirists, media critics and new technology visionaries Negativland, who have been doing this for so long that they’ve achieved breathtaking levels of jaw-dropping genius in turning popular radio, truth-in-advertising and the American way into an hallucinogenic, non-stop traffic accident of commerce and hyper-reality. It’s funny – the way the horror channel is funny – and it’s genuinely satirical; I mean it doesn’t secretly love the thing it disembowels. Dense and excoriating. And technically sans pareil. In the world as it is today, now seems to be the perfect time to face up to Negativland’s aesthetic and acclimatize to it, while you can. No one does this better. Not even the people who do it for real." - Chris Cutler/Recommended Records Catalog
