This week's episode of Late Lunch With Out To Lunch (Ben Watson's
long-running show; 2pm Wednesdays) is called "Sentiment", and mounts a
furious attack on two footnotes to "Mental Ears and Poetic Work", an obscure
lecture J.H. Prynne delivered in Chicago in April 2009 and was shortly
afterwards published in Chicago Review. The case for the prosecution is
buttressed with Doo Wop by the Penguins, trash rock apocalypse by the New
York Dolls, the ever-annoying Frank Zappa and three songs about Pablo
Picasso. Prynne's position is castigated as "Gradgrind realism" in sentences
hot from a recent reading of Raya Dunayevskaya's book on Women's Liberation
and exchanges with Doloras LaPicho of the Chaos Marxism website.
Ever willing to enter combat with the great and the good, Out To Lunch has
the temerity to question John Cale's decisions as a producer, and improvises
his own piano commentary on the chord choices of Jerry Harrison, organist
with the Modern Lovers. Treat this show as the warm up to the AMM
(Association of Musical Marxists) Xmas Party on Thursday 20th December
featuring Alan Wilkinson and Oscillatorial Binnage, Ben Wilson the Chewing
Gum Man, Rob Dellar of Mad Pride and Esther Leslie on rainbows (free entry:
see for details).
A controversial music critic, Ben Watson's by-line has been suppressed in print media, but he continues to voice his"unacceptable" opinions on air. Watson will still be talking and playing music, but disco-graphical detail is reserved for the conclusion. Watson's words, on the other hand, shall be continually present, dispensing with any connection to
argued frames of reference or current media chatter, to any known critical
consensus or any established political position. Instead, his scripts shall
explore the repercussions of a point made by Bob Dobbs, the Marshall McLuhan
archivist and e-media prankster.
