STEVE ISONS IAC DIARY....
3.8.2008..........I loved Airwave Excorieeee..DirgeK had such a fabulous dry wit,wonderful intelligence and obvious creativity which she shows here. ...Simultaneously affectionate about the pirate radio broadcasts she's commenting on- while showing up the beautiful absurdities of them too...Her talking voice is so serene,eloquent,intelligent and calm next to the loud OTT in-yer-face crassness and unremmiting trivialitiy of the other DJs and adverts she gently lampoons.. ..Altho this is a fun listen-the massive gulf between the 2 attitudes is inescapable and must've contributed to her sense of alienation...Like enjoying the spark,extroversion and attitude of modern culture-but with a natural innerness,thoughtfulness-sense of space and depth that didn't sit comfortably there and stopped her being able to fully embrace it -so keeping her SEPERATE-resigned to be forever the outsider looking in.. A fascinating insight into a different aspect of such a hugely creative,hauntingly original, tragically lost talent....
