The very grand sounding Charles Rice Goff
III (he's not, he's a very down to Earth and humble member of the
underground community) is another of those who has been around for aeons,
but who I managed to miss in all those 'back in the day' years. Luckily,
Lord Litter is good at putting you in touch with people you've missed, so
better late than never. Musically (and elsewherely), he's produced an
enormous body of work over the years, including the reasonably well known
name of Herd Of The Ether Space, and the most amazing pile of solo and
collaborative albums. You may well have heard of the Taped Rugs label and
The Deprogramming Centre (sorry, Center, it's American) radioshows too.
There's a really big collection of his music available via Bandcamp at the
moment, tis called "Biography" (I have a copy, fascinating stuff indeed),
which seems quite appropriate, and it features a nice picture of either
him or the Emergency Medical Hologram from 'Star Trek Voyager' on the
cover. A very reasonable (and unusually precise) $4.67 (US) for the whole
52 track download. Oh, and as it's coming up for Halloween (and
Thanksgiving isn't far away Stateside, the ultimate celebration of biting
the hand that feeds you ;-), he sent some links for some rather more
seasonal material, and all freely available on that wonderful cultural
repository that is the Internet Archive...

to be the ultimate beacon for acidheads everywhere, on this one...

CRG3 (oh yes, we're on 'Stars Wars' robot
name terms) also does a fortnightly radioshow called The Deprogramming
Center (every other Friday at midnight, Pacific Time / UTC-7) on KOWS 92.5
in the Occidental / Sebastopol area of California (not to be confused with
the Deliberate / Sebastopol area), broadcasts later being available on the
Taped Rugs website (link is right at the bottom of the home page, if you
can get away from the trippy bit at the top) for around a month. For show
54, broadcast on December 2nd last year, he was kind enough to produce a
UWU Collection Special, dedicating the whole programme to our great
labour, featuring music from Galactic Lilah, X Ray Pop, Trespassers W,
Toshiyuki Hiraoka, The Legendary Poptones & M. Nomized, Sphinx, L.G. Mair
Jr. and Levente. Much appreciated, sir, may your life be filled with
joyful things. But not marzipan, that's mine.
Also also (well, we've had one also
already), for the last six months, he's been doing a show called Magnetic
Bungalow which "features deep looks at individual cassette albums from the
20th century from a variety of artists." Unlike the Deprogramming Center
(that's twice I've got it right first time now), however, this one is
archived permanently. A search will turn up some analysis of gems from
such subterranean luminaries as Ken Clinger, Mental Anguish, Lord Litter
and Alain Neffe. I shall enjoy putting my feet up and exploring some of
these shows as soon as Twizz gives me a day off! Meanwhile, I've only had
the briefest of dips, but I love the idea and shall make it my ambition to
one day be deemed worthy of inclusion myself. Or send him money...
