A Brief History of Permeable Press
“Stein’s Box” by DJ Funken Wagnalls
Gertrude Stein
Here’s “Stein’s Box” for your listening pleasure. I’m not sure how to categorize this piece: is it techno? trip-hop? drum ‘n’ bass (without the bass)?
“Stein’s Box” was inspired by reading Gertrude Stein’s prose-poetry, especially “A Box” in the Collected Writings of Gertrude Stein. Your humble DJ adapted Stein’s words, recorded the vocal and produced the song.
Here’s a sample of the text DJ Funken Wagnalls used in “Stein’s Box”:
“Out of kindness comes redness and out of rudeness comes rapid same question, out of an eye comes research, out of selection comes painful cattle.”
I Think the Government Is Watching Me
Help yourself to the MP3 of “I Think the Government Is Watching Me.”
This may be the world’s shortest rap song.
Cottonmouth and I recorded this a couple years back; it’s been languishing on a hard drive for far too long.
