Installment #18 of the Research Series aired in November-2018 on CiTR.FM.101.9.

The eighteenth of a planned forty-nine movies, each forty-nine minutes long, featuring no particular artist, theme or agenda beyond boldly going … who knows? Or as Werner Von Braun once put it, “Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.” And we definitely have no idea where all this will take us.

Installment #9 of The Final Countdown aired Saturday-May-19-2018 (c/o CiTR.FM.101.9).

Tracks available on this Youtube playlist (somewhat inaccurate).

The Final Countdown* is Randophonic’s longest, most random and (if we’re doing it right) relevant countdown yet – the end of result of a long and convoluted process that finally evolved into something halfway tangible in early 2018. The 1297 Greatest Records of All Time right now right here, if that makes sense. And even if it doesn’t, we’re doing it anyway for as long as it takes, and it will take a while.

The Teardrop Explodes being A.one of the best band names ever, B. the outfit that gave the world the one and only Julian Cope  who, by all accounts, has equal parts madness and genius erupting from his psychedelic soul, which put him rather out of synch with much of what was going down in the early 80s. But being a properly mad genius he didn’t care. And thus, we get the eerie and timeless strangeness of 1981’s Ouch Monkeys! (a title we’re still trying to figure out).
