Hugo fucking Keesing's CHARTSWEEP. My god. Can we get that up on the
Detritus archives sometime? I know your copy is a cruddy cassette copy of
the cruddy cassette copy I got from Gunderson but it's such an important
piece. Hey Mark, maybe send Steev and I a digital transfer? When you're
not too busy that is, oh ha ha ha.
For background, 'Chartsweep' is a simple chronological collage featuring a
tiny fragment of every #1 US chart hit from 1956 to 1990, about 45 minutes
total length. The crossfades are very intelligently done and it's a
mindboggling listen. I tried tracking down Keesing with search engines
about a year ago, he's an archivist who lived around Maryland at one point
it seems, but no contact point.
Tape some of those quick106 spots too, hey.
