This project was intended for periodic release but was eventually abandoned and unfinished to work on the start of Needle Play. These are the final tracks that were finished to date.

Laughing God Airwaves original script:

This was intended to make the listener feel like he or she is on a long drive in a strange land and is turning the radio dial trying to find something worth listening to. In the process the listener becomes privy to the madness of this foreign land, which is conveyed by the stations on the radio. The genres bleed into one another, as do the commercials, radio banter and prayers. There’s no distinct beginning or end to anything. The radio is a reflection of consumer culture, religion, mainstream music, American politics, narcissism, drug addiction, and above all mental illness. It’s supposed to be simultaneously a satire and celebration of music itself and an example of how we use music to express our collective psychosis. The album is supposed to start out soft and calm and slowly slip into violent madness.


-Start off the album with soft jazz a tune called “Gone Do Goodin’” written by Rodd and Chelsea Walsh. Deep voice of jazz radio host on WRIT, introduces next song, which is more piano heavy (also jazz though).

-Commercial about how WRIT is only funded by listeners’ support and how they can get involved with donation.

-Prayer radio: priest talks about how to incorporate the grace of God into everyday events

-“There is God in these Truths” a hymn written by Anthony Dickinson

-Ambient/shoegazey noise

-Hit Single: “I Carry You Inside My Heart” Influenced by the real song “Isi” by the band “Neu!”

-Morning zoo radio with Skidmark. The crowd talks about how big the “I Carry You Inside My Heart” is and how they can’t stop playing it. They then talk about how one of their interns made his own parody of the song “I Carry You Inside My Fart”. They play that song (the song has much lower quality than the single), then they laugh about how funny it and how their intern should move to California to be a professional musician.

-Commercial about a hotel in Vegas

-Transition with brief hard rock song

-Politically fueled talk radio with conspiracy theorist Andy Jukes (inspired by Alex Jones). Jukes talks with physicist Ben Lieberwitz about the existence of life on other planets. Jukes is convinced that aliens have landed on American soil and the liberal government is keeping their presence a secret in order to learn their advanced technology and use it against the American public to control them. Lieberwitz is puzzled and doesn’t know why he was asked on the show. Jukes talks more about how Lieberwitz’ generation is made up of cowards who are too distracted by facebook and their phones to realize how the government is controlling them. Lieberwitz reminds Jukes that he’s 41 and three years older than Jukes. Jukes is convinced that this generation of young people is anti-intellectual. Jukes asks what would happen if Albert Einstein was obsessed with facebook and his phone. He wonders if he would have been able to create quantum mechanics. Lieberwitz then claims that although Einstein’s paper on the photoelectric effect did indirectly lead to the progression of quantum mechanics, Einstein himself never believed in quantum mechanics in fact he thought it was against the rules of God. Jukes calls Lieberwitz a “nerd” for correcting him. Lieberwitz then claims that accusing an entire generation of being anti-intellectual and then subsequently calling someone a nerd for stating a fact is very odd behavior.

-A funk song that’s actually about Moobers new brand of diapers

-Jersey

-Talk radio about militant groups in the Middle East

-Bedroom pop song

-Heath’s electronic song

-Monday night. This is an instrumental in 5/4 and in drop C. It’s very heavy and distorted, but the lyrics talk about going out on the town. Over the instrumental “DJ Muddy Mike” tells Philadelphia that it’s Monday night and it’s time to party.

-Talk radio about relationships with Krista Lynn and DJ Muddy Mike

-Rap song about Kim Kardashian

-Talk radio about country music. Singer/songwriter Buck Young talks about his inspiration. He claims that Jesus Christ the lord and savior is everything and everywhere and so any possible thing we could think of in the material world is Jesus. The host asks him if his steak dinner last night is Jesus, Buck replies “that’s Jesus”. Host asks him if the birds perched out of the window are Jesus, Buck replies “that’s Jesus”. The host asks if the electrons in the valence shells of the calcium ion in the tendons of his dead wife’s knee are Jesus, Buck replies “……..that’s Jesus!”. They all cry out in joy!

-Trumpkin

-Groovy funk song interlude about a new toothpaste brand

-Talk radio about the hottest new real punk bands and a new skate festival in Boston.

-Blink 182-type song about smoking crack

-Zalteck (Not Zaltech because that’s a real company): The song opens up with an explosions in the sky type post-rock soundscape. A voice comes on and asks “What drives a man?”, “Is it passion?”, “Is it fear? Or love?”, “Or is it something else?”, instrumental builds “Introducing a revolutionary razor blade by Zalteck”, “7 unique blades fassoned to a flexible, durable frame”, “perfect for any man’s face, the Zalteck Oasis gives you the close shave that drives you towards excellence”. The song then quickly transitions into an AC/DC type instrumental with a singer talking about drinking with a partying with hot girls. The singer then goes onto claim that he desperately needs a shave before he goes out and parties again. The chorus is “Of all the blades in the land of the free, Zalteck has got the razor, the razor for me!”. The song then transforms into a type of doom metal piece, then softens. A man starts singing in a low voice “Hey headrush, I want you in my life again.”, “I’ve been stayin’ clean and eatin’ my greens yet I’m dead to the core”. “HEY VIOLENCE! I want you in my life again” “I’ve been sellin’ bids and feedin’ my kids and wastin’ my youth on this God fearin’ truth and it’s all for shit!”
