MWOP 5 Remastered

The world was not in its right place the fall of ’78. As autumn dawned two popes died within thirty-three days of each other. In November 896 misguided souls literally 'drank the Kool Aid' at Jonestown. And, worst of all, the Yankees won the World Series.

Fortunately for the human race there was one bright, shining moment that dismal fall. Three methane dispensers named Larry, Steve and Chris holed up in a recording studio in Baltimore to produce the fifth installment of what famed voiceover artist Lary Lewman would later proclaim as “the very reason the English continues to thrive” (True! Lary would become an MWOP fan in 1983). The recording session occurred on the 17th of October 1978 and wasted a whole lot of Ampex 406 tape. 

Unique to this episode of MWOP was the addition of a third member to the panel, Pete Bowles, semi-artfully performed by Chris M. Historians are still trying to figure out why the hell he was even there. Still, all logic aside, hecklers the world over are grateful that Chris’s voice is now part of media history because, thanks to podcasting, we can dial up his inane patter and ignore it all over again just like it’s 1978.

Right after the turn of the century Chris became a resident of Timonium; an extremely permanent resident: At repose off East Padonia Road, halfway between Johnny Unitas and Spiro Agnew, just left of the tree. We did point out to Chris in ’78 that he ought to stick around ’til podcasts get invented so he could enjoy to this remastered upload. I reckon he had other plans.

Nevertheless or lessthenever, this upload is heartfeltishly dedicated to the late Chris M., who was perhaps MWOP’s first big fan. We can state that even though heartfeltishly isn’t even a word. Lessthenever isn’t either but you knew that when you saw it on the screen 4.5 seconds ago.

So put your hiner in the recliner and enjoy Music Without Perspective #5 and we sincerely hope that you are always and forever “Live from Exit 20”.
