First, Duncan and
Richard present a horribly off-track intro which consists largely of talk of
herpes and sleeping around. Eventually they get around to discussing what is
really important, this week’s show! Steve Litsios, an
artist from La Chaux-de-Fonds in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, is
interviewed this week by Mark Staff Brandl. Litsios is known for his vast paper
installations, wall objects, smaller sculpture, and web-work, all of which are
elegant, restrained, and yet puckish in their surprising flirtation with
elements of garishness. His work has recently begun to incorporate political
content into his formerly abstract approach. The artist also plays in several
roots blues and skiffle bands. Then, in the
closing, Duncan calls out Joseph Mohan. Other wackiness ensues.

Next: Mike Benedetto (jackass, BAS film critic) reviews The Watchmen. IMPORTANT: be sure to stick around after the credits for a very special and heart rending public service announcement from Mike, that, much to his surprise, I actually did run in the show.
