DISTRACT AND DISABLE 22 -- SATURDAY 15 DECEMBER 2PM EST/1PM CST

If you hear the voice of Jim Morrison in your head singing "This is the end...", put down whatever is in your hand and tune in to WGXC for Distract and Disable episode number 22. We pick where we left off (which could have been anywhere) and run with it! FM synth + inspirational instrumentals + songs about the end of the world -- yes, this is how it's gonna go down. Tune in (won't you?) on Saturday 15 December at 2pm EST/1pm CST for Distract and Disable. If the *bleep* hits the fan, at least you'll be distracted.

DISRACT AND DISABLE 21 -- THIS SATURDAY 17 NOVEMBER 2PM EST

Whatever you heard, it's all true. Glue is still missing, presumed dead. All that's left is the seance now, and that might've happened last month. This month we're on to divining techniques with rods and crystals. Have pretty much reached the end of Glue's box of tapes, but did find this curious contemporary group among them -- Avogadro's Avocado -- just has the name on it and a photo that looks like this:

odd.

Anywho, tune in (either with your radio or via the web) to WGXC this Saturday 17 November at 2pm EST to get a headfull of occult.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE 20 FOR YOUR DOME!

OK -- is 20 an important number? It's 2 x 10, 4 x 5, 1 + everything positive integer up to 19. You could do minus operations from larger operations and of course factor in fractions, imaginary numbers and calculus. But let's put it this way, if you believe in the stars and realize that the show 20 is firing off on 10/20, then it seems important no matter how you slice it. At the very least, I can promise you that Glue is more mysterious than you think and possibly even closer than you think. Should you care? Perhaps. Do you care? Perhaps a better question is, do you have a choice? No. You don't.

Whatever happens, you should tune in to WGXC on Saturday 20 October at 2pm EST (1pm CST) to clear all of these mathematical machinations up for (at least) this month.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE 19 -- SATURDAY 15 SEPTEMBER -- 1PM CDT/2PM EDT

 
Alright. So this is Distract and Disable Program 19. Someone send me a cake, with candles already. Or, just listen to the program. That's reward enough! I can bake my own cake -- with a file in it -- just in case. Beats stuffing yourself in an American Tourister. And remember, when not in Rome, don't act like a Roman.

As for the show and all its predecessors, visit wgxc.org to listen live this Saturday and/or visit the archives to try and trace the whereabouts of a Mr. G. Banta (aka: Glue).

DISTRACT AND DISABLE #18 ON WGXC 25 AUGUST 2PM EDT/1PM CDT

Yup. This is what it would look like if there was only one pair of headphones left in the world -- people queuing up for miles around to get their fill of Distract and Disable. Do you think this is a statement of vanity? Well all I know is that numbers DO lie. At least that's what Glue seems to think. Well, maybe not lie, just fib, or mislead. Let's just say that numbers are nothing without narrative and narrative is endlessly pliable. What you can be sure of is that voltage doesn't lie, as evidenced by Glue's tapes that you will hear in this edition of the D&D Program 18. Enjoy the high-powered buzz and repetition on Saturday 25 August at 2pm EDT/1PM CDT on WGXC.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 17 -- JULY 21 -- WGXC -- 2PM EDT/1PM CDT

YES! D&D 17 is coming for your eardrums, so you may want to work out some hand signals with which to communicate with your friends during the show (so as not to interrupt anyone's listening concentration.) This month features some more Glue Banta tapes recovered from the SW Michigan woods, some warped christian inspirational pop, vanishing vests, macaroni munching and some other stuff that you won't wanna miss. Tune in to WGXC on Saturday 21 July at 2pm EDT/1pm CDT. Also, don't forget to hit up the archives for streaming previous installments of the program. Enjoy!

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 16 -- JUNE 16 2PM EDT

OK. What are the odds that #16 falls on the 16th? One in 365? Not sure. I was never good at probability. I always say that if you play the lottery you have a 50% chance. You will either win or you won't. Of course this is wrong, but maybe there is some significance. Anyway, there is a 100% chance that if you tune in to WGXC on 16 June at 2pm EDT, you will hear The Distract and Disable Program #16. So, cut your index finger, and write it in blood on your calendar. Nothing a little band-aid won't fix--just don't forget the triple antibiotic.

DISTRACT AND DISABLE PROGRAM 15 ON WGXC: SATURDAY 19 MAY 2PM EDT

Yes, program 15!

Is this a milestone? Not really. But why couldn't it be? I mean it is divisible by 3 and 5. This is powerful, no? Two prime numbers as divisors? Glue might like this convergence. Anyway, there's more to this show than fancy math coincidences, like Glue Banta (E-Mu) tapes, Elvis on yoga, valium on Youtube (or Youtube on valium) and some fantastic easy-listening hits. Your favorites in sonic aspic. Alright!

Tune in to WGXC on Saturday 19 May at 2pm EDT, click on "Click to Listen" and get ready to feel your face again after a numbing week of the same-old same -old. Also, for more feel-good aural pleasure check the WGXC archive for old D&D episodes. Come on, you can do it.

Ok. You know the drill.Go to the archive and fill 'er up.Also, check this photo closely to see if there's anything here you might've missed.

Distract and Disable 14 -- April 21 -- WGXC

Yup. More Glue. Seems he was a bit busier than we all thought. Tune in to hear his secret archive. Maybe this will end eventually. Click to listen April 21 -- 2-3 pm EDT : WGXC.

Glue might be missing, but the show is not. Check it. It's an E-Mu fest. //JF

Glue Is Not Dead, Just Missing -- Distract & Disable 13 --17 March 2012

Hello Friends: It's me, Jonny, the new host of the Distract and Disable Program. Seems that Glue wasn't kidding about being imprisoned by The Others. I went to his house and checked it out myself. But, being the good radio host that he is, seems that he left a big box of tapes to play in his absence, as if..."the show must go on." He also left the below photos lying around. Thought you might want to take a look at them. Any ideas?






 





 

 

Anywho, as it seems Glue wishes, I am playing one of his tapes as "the show." Sounds like a big E-Mu to me. Not sure where he got access to one of these babies. Maybe there's a hidden synth-room in his house. Will have to look for that -- maybe that's not the only secret..meanwhile, enjoy the tape.

Distract & Disable 13--17 March 2012--2pm EST--WGXC

Distract and Disable 12 -- Saturday 18 February -- BIGFOOT

You know it had to happen eventually: a show about BIGFOOT. That's right, Sasquatch, the Yeti, freakin' Chewbacca, Andrea the Giant in a mohair jumpsuit, whatever. If you were going to miss a show, save it for another time because believe me, you don't want to miss this one. Besides the fact that this is my last episode hosting the Distract and Disable Program, a special guest who calls himself Pac-Man calls in (several times) to fill me in on his latest Bigfoot research. This is no joke, not just a plaster cast of a big footprint. Tune in on Saturday 18 February @ 2pm EST. You will not regret it. Oh, and keep your eyes focused here for updates about the Glue Banta's next move.

Distract and Disable 11 -- Saturday, January 21 -- 2PM EST

Conjuring. So that's what they call it. Would've been nice to have known that before I opened up that hole between the living and the dead, heaven and hell. Oh well. Someone was bound to do it. At least I know how to close it back up. I have it written down somewhere...ah, here it is.

No, that's not it.

I guess I should keep on looking. In the meantime you will want to tune in to the Distract and Disable Program number 11 to find out what NOT to do. Go here on Saturday the 21st at 2PM EST and turn it up loud for some good advice (or at least some stuff that might discourage you from conjuring up something you know nothing about). Enjoy?
