It\u2019s one of my favorite things they\u2019ve ever done, and, well, I just about adore almost everything they\u2019ve ever done. The CD isn\u2019t the thrust of the project \u2014 though it\u2019s not bad, it\u2019s not sample-based, and really noisy, so something different than you\u2019d expect from them \u2014 the book is. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The book is a collection of photos; they went to junk yards, and took photographs of car wrecks, then looked in the wrecks for detritus of their previous owners. The layout is the car on the left page of the spread, the item on the right, along with a transcription of what it says (as random people\u2019s handwriting is often hard enough to read when it\u2019s not on crumpled paper taken from old, wrecked cars). It\u2019s REALLY cool \u2014 I highly recommend checking it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like the kind of project I might dream up!  Great stuff &#8211; and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.negativland.com\/deathsentences\/\">website <\/a>has a few samples.  I just ordered a copy of it for myself.  They are available for purchase from the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rev. Syung Myung Me also has an excellent recommendation on the comments for the Signal 30 post.
