This Might Be How Video Killed Radio
First there was the radio. Next was the television changing the way we receive news and entertainment forever. And then there were the music videos. They started out as simple "musical shorts".

The Living Was Food and Others
That damned robot told me I should begin this post like this: "For twenty years I've been releasing experimental music and noise recordings.
