CiTR -- Randophonic: Recent Episodes
CiTR & Discorder Magazine
Randophonic is best thought of as an intraversal radio program which observes no particular genre, political or even space-time boundaries. Though we do often fix our focus on long running series, the latest of which we're calling The Final Countdown (aka the 1,297 Greatest Records of All Time Right Now Right Here). And we're not afraid of noise.

This being our second attempt to look back and do justice to 2020 (the year that was). Not so much stuff that was new in 2020 as stuff that sounded fresh, relevant, alive to our ears.
Instalment #5 of whatever it is we're doing now. Something to do with the 1499 records that need to be heard before the eschaton immanetizes. Music and noise unto ... well, who knows?
Instalment #4 of Apocalypse Etc -- the 1499 records we all need to hear before the eschaton immenatizes. It's true. It's been fact- checked.

moving higher and deeper into the latest upgrade of the world famous Randophonic Jukebox
in which we continue to fumble forward into our next big thing ... whatever it ends up being. As long as it's beautiful.
a show almost completely concerned with America (and not just the bad ugly) it being July-4 and all.
Another rather random excursion into whatever felt relevant at the time ... including eventually a long dive into the deeper, noisier realms of the Sonic Youth
a more or less fully randomized excursion into this and that, revolution and dreams and monsters from the id ...
The Lockdown continues. Fresh radio starts to emerge. A game of Learning To Get Along that gets sidetracked by an extended trip to Long Island.
a return from rerun oblivion (sort of) with special guest AL T guiding us through an essential list of pandemic related sounds ... and then eventually a substantial chunk of what's come to be known as the the Planet Gong Trilogy.
a rerun of a program first broadcast in 2013 sometime -- counting down the best darned records most people probably hadn't heard
a rerun of an old show that confused us at the time, and it still does. At least the music's good.
A program of various options, mostly tripped out or at least strange, and at first entirely oriented north of 49 (or thereabouts)
Mostly big long instrumental mixes of recently discovered spaced out groove sumptuousness.
Installment #23 of The Final Countdown -- aka the 1,297 Greatest Records of All Time Right Now Right Here ... whatever that means.
