Show 12: Exercising Our Autistic License

show 12: exercising our autistic license

Aaaah. The digital age. It's brought us many delights - the electronic toothbrush, dildos and massage chairs to name but a (vibrating) few - but it's also taken the romance out of a lot of things (see above). No longer do you routinely pour over the inside sleeve of CDs and marvel at the artwork that has been designed to sit so beautifully alongside those sounds that are reverberating around inside your ear canals. There's a disconnection associated with people downloading MP3s and uploading artwork into Itunes or having your favourite album's cover set as desktop wallpaper... It's not really what album artwork was first for, is it? Tonight we're going to be spinning out some tunes that came packaged in some of the best fucking sleeves you can ever lay your eyes and hands upon. Not necessarily our favourite tunes from said albums, but that's not the point of tonights show...

Not solely about the music, rather a raucous celebration of an oft now overlooked facet that you consider when buying music - the whole package. Luckily, that's also Chris' nickname so it all ties together nicely.
