NCN - Don't Worry

Phineas Narco

Details: Webcast to over a dozen listeners on June 28th, 2020 and taking its cue from the notion that 'if you think there is a solution, then you're part of the problem' this is a look at the subject of indifference, i.e. of not giving a shit, which comedian George Carlin (known in The Church of the SubGenius as 'Saint George') touted as an important skill to have in life. In other words, last week, we paid homage to activism, and this week we pay our dues to the other side of the coin, that of a kind of benevolent 'passivism'. Yes, passivism, not to be confused with 'pacifism' which is, of course, a type of activism (thanks, St. George). Yes, in 'Don't Worry' we look at indifference in all its forms: from the toxic to the healthful, and where the line is between the two. This is a show about how to detach from the outcome and cultivate an attitude of active indifference (when appropriate) but also a musical tutorial on 'how to stop worrying' (the original working title of the project). In addition to the subject at hand, we take a comic look at the recent aborted political Trump rally in Tulsa as well as ways to be happy in a decaying world, the nature of normalcy in a sick society, informative material about conformity and the mechanics of worry, OCD and panic disorder, practical instruction on how to deal with anxiety and uncertainty over the ongoing coronavirus crisis, as well as some actually useful (or at least sonically interesting) input that we found from the new age and human potential movement circles.  We also present some new mashup medleys we have put together as well as a bevy of fantastic songs, many of which you have never heard before (though some were suggested by listeners) about not only the state of the world but also about telling those who need to hear it 'fuck off' and about how to get more by letting go. All in all, an edifying and entertaining evening's worth of nourishing food for your head in these lean times, which is (IMHO) rewarding to listen to from beginning to end. SubGenius radio programming for The End Times. A few words on the creation of this program: Can you BELIEVE that we are coming out with a BRAND FUCKING NEW EXTRA-EXTRA LONG OPUS right on the heels of our LAST well-received EXTENDED-PLAY show?! And we were poised to take at least a whole month off from new work after laying that last huge egg. Our ass could use the rest! But inspiration strikes at the oddest times and we are glad that it did. Yes, 'Don't Worry' is another 5-hour, sprawling MEGA-SHOW thumbing its nose at the notion of modern-day short attention spans and DARES to entertain the FUCK out of you for an entire evening. If you dare. We are still flabbergasted at how FUCKING GOOD this one came out considering how quickly this show came together. Or even not considering. We put the bulk of it together during an all-nighter stretch (we happened to up the Friday before it aired when we usually sleep only because we had to be awake for an unrelated Amazon package being delivered) which seems to put our brains in the correct dopamine-saturated state of mind to do so. Seriously, things presented themselves and fell into place so quickly with this one, it is almost as if it created itself! 'Don't Worry' will probably be counted as one of our 'therapeutic' shows as one listeners termed them. In other words, a program that actually helps your mental health by listening to it. Free of charge! Spoiler: Variations on Bobby McFerrin's iconic 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' and John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' are used as musical leitmotifs throughout the program, the latter of which is to signify a re-connection with self.
