After Doktor Faux wrings out his towel, he decides to jump on the next freight-train out of Hypercube and takes a night off. This leaves the HyperCOMM in complete anarchy as Elvis Martini and Dok Ellis hijack the feed and throw a huge internet party full of bad connections, reverb, dropped calls and cheap audio equipment. It’s an ORGY of SLACK as Time for the Show is mutated into a complete free-for-all featuring all your HyperCOMM favorites such as Lord Ferg, Cosmac, Scalpod, Marthartha, Agent Lloyd and a rotating cast of callers attempt to save the Show from itself.
Mark Hosler of Negativland joins Doktor Faux and Caller23 on the HyperCOMM. Mark recounts his recent European tour and the utilization of anchor-gigs. Faux asks why Negativland put out a new album (TRUEFALSE), and the duties of being a surviving member of an aging avant-garde performance troupe. Caller23 follows up with questions like “who is suing you now?” and what it’s like meeting the guy who had been pirating your music for a decade. Stickerguy is a nice guy.
Dok Faux begins to implement the mythological “show formula” and the show transforms drastically. Reverand peas takes the wheel as Faux navigates the jagged river o’ comedy. Steven Tyler is ugly. Peas was once an indentured servant to Tony Robbins. Faux doesn’t trust magicians, or libertarians. Trenchie chimes in.
