"Mark's Radio Show"*
RADIO SHOW IS ON VACATION FOR THE SUMMER ('02) - WILL RETURN IN THE FALL!!!
Every Monday night, 7-9pm EST. How to listen? Go here.

*For your safety and convenience, I have made the description below of how to listen to my radio show as wordy and confusing as possible.
I do a live internet radio broadcast every Monday night 7-9pm EST from my living room - on cam! I fill the two hours with whatever I want to - answer questions, sing songs, go on black Jeruselum rants, perform Santoria rituals live on the air, asnswer romance and finance questions that you want to email to me, scream. It's very theraputic. All you need to listen is a Real Player, or Windows Real Media or blah, blah, blah...  I can't do "call-ins" (yet - but boy I can't wait), however I can answer questions that you email to me at any time! It's hard to read emails (at this point) while we are on the air, so if you have a question, email it to Mark preferably before a scheduled show, just put "Question for radio show" in the subject head of the email. I'll respond to it while I am on the air. NEW!!! AOL Instant Message me! AIM name: madampsychosis. For upcoming show schedule, see below:

Upcoming shows:

ON VACATION FOR SUMMER
 




Past shows:

6/10/02: After last week's John Cage tribute... tonight Mark promises a show to end all shows. It will be the best damn show on this particular bandwidth at this particular time!!! His guests will include the lovable and hate-able team of Sammy (someone please bid on this guy's burnt-up, radioactive, useless microwave!) and also Gregory. Other guests will include a spontaneous visit by one of Mark's massage clients who happens to be dropping by. Intrigue guaranteed or at least guaranteed faked!!! It will be more wholesome and satisfying than a 4-D granola canoli with 2-D stromboli! Email Mark or email Gregory or email Sammy before the show with questions or whatever. Or AOL IM Mark (AOL IM name: madampsychosis) while on the air with questions or insults or whatever for me or Sammy or Gregory.

5/27/02: Yes there will be a show tonight - with no plans. I will talk about my Paris trip and see whatever else happens. It will be like repeatedly shooting a dust witch in Antarctica from a high glacier with a rubber band while the bright sunlight reflects off all the white hot ice. Email me during or before the show. Or AOL IM me (AOL IM name: madampsychosis) while on the air with questions or insults or whatever. "See" you then...
Music played:
John Coltrane "Ascension - Edition II" from Ascension on Impulse! Records played through scratchy headphones on echo while Mark hid under the bed and whispered paranoid schizophrenic nothings into the mic about scalps and bones and lists of laundry and did his best "Repulsion" imitation until everyone switched off their radio connections, Sonic Youth "Disconnection Notice", "Rain On Tin", "Plastic Sun" and "Sympathy For the Strawberry" from their forthcoming album Murray Street on DGC/Interscope

5/13/02 and 5/20/02: No shows while I'm out of town. Be back on 5/27/02!

5/6/02: (listen to this show now archived - link above) Sammy/Mark/Gregory LIVE in studio - wish Mark "the best" in France. Sammy and Gregory kick Mark's ass out of the door of his own apartment before he flys off to join the other art snobs in the seedy underbelly of the art gallery ghetto alleys of newly Nazi-controlled Paris (Mark will be in Paris from May 12th - May 21st). As we all know, the Mark/Gregory/Sammy combination = frictional, crackling, echo-y ratings, so: today's show (tomorrow if you are reading this on Sunday) will be trio-ized (that's three) again, until the gall bladder is open and activated and the eclair runs goo and the glitter is spackled over with white. Anyway, today's show will be Mark, Sammy and Gregory LIVE IN STUDIO in Mark's apartment, again - as Gregory and Sammy wish Mark "the best" in "fucking" France and try to come to terms with why Mark is such a "snob" and why they are they are doing the show anyway and try to hide their jeleousy, which Mark will use to surf around the room and avoid the sharks of their green insults. We all realize that dolphins are dumb and salad is stupid and fatty flesh is what we really crave. Give us hot blood. This time Mark promises to set up the mic and mixing board in the most glorious, pro fashion so we don't all sound like Gonzo the Muppet talking into a walkie talkie into a stadium amplifier. But Mark doesn't really care at this point as he's about to go have an exhibition of his photography in Paris and Sammy and Gregory can kiss his fucking regal ass - so as you can see It will be so profuckingfessional and antagonistically pick-up-sticks-game prickly and EVOL-y luscious that your head will self-immolate from the visceral audio thrill of the bloody fireworks in the faces of three bombastic frienimies! Mark will take notes with a Le Pen. Mark will also be "illegally" "broadcasting" tracks from his "stolen" copy of Sonic Youth's new album "Murray Street" - which will be released in late June. Sammy and Gregory will roll their eyes and stab Mark with Le Pen. It will be as fucky-sucking delectible as your first kill and ten million times as interesting as the first time you saw your name in flashing lights. Email Mark or Gregory or Sammy before hand or Mark on the air to get an immediate response. Or AOL IM Mark (AOL IM name: madampsychosis) while on the air with questions or insults or whatever for me or Sammy or Gregory.  "See" you then...

4/22/02: (listen to this show now archived - link above) Mark, Sammy and Gregory ALL live in-studio = RATINGS BONANZA!!! (mp3 recording of this recent show above) As we all know Sammy = ratings, so: today's show will be Sammy-fied to the blissful, gooey, over-stuffed envelope of hope. As well as Gregory-fied to the pink dusty razor extreme. Isn't this poetry sad? Anyway, today's show will not be sad poetry - it will will be Mark, Sammy and Gregory LIVE - no not on the phone - but IN STUDIO in Mark's apartment chatting it up for the whole two hours. I am going to set up my couch to accomidify Sammy and Gregory with their own microphones and little bowls of popcorn and pretzels and soda and floating robotic butlers and lots of powdered Similac Baby Formula for Gregory and I will sit and my desk as control central powerman and we will talk about anything and everything. It will be so fucking professional that your head will explode! It will be fucking delicious as fuck and ten times as interesting as molasses pured over an ant hill.

2/18/02: Tune in to hear YES I'M PRETENDING YOU ASKED FOR IT! a re-play of Mark Allen and Gregory's "in"-famous appearance on WFMU(.org)'s "Listener Hour" way back in... when was that, April 2001? Anyway, back then, thanks to an invite from the infinitely faboo WFMU DJ Pseu Braun... Gregory and I trucked it on over to the WFMU studios in New Jersey, pre-recorded an hour long "Listener Hour" show (which aired the following morning at like 9AM or something) and since nobody was listening at that ungodly hour - here it is again! You can see the "live" cam captures from the WFMU studios that we broadcast onto my site as we were recording the show (follow along! - actually there were originally 60 shots) near the bottom half of my webcam gallery 14 page. This was the first attempt that Gregory and I ever made at "radio" - long before Gaycams radio - we played farts through effects boxes, vagina noises recorded with contact mics, read crazy people's flyers, played an hour-long scream record and "sang" from a restraining order that Gregory and I both have against some nut. As you can see we've come really far. It was quite a time capsule of a year ago in our little lives. I don't have WFMU's permission to "re-broadcast" this (hahaha!) but since only about two people listen to my show - who cares! Anyway, since THIS RADIO show is only an hour long, and I will be playing a tape I have of it, the first and last half hour of MY REGULAR 2 HOUR RADIO SHOW will be filled with the usual. Got all that? Think about it... I haven't!  Email me on the air or AOL IM me (AOL IM name: madampsychosis) while on the air with questions or insults or whatever. "See" you then...

So if you haven't guessed by now, for New Year's I am going to be spending the evening with Guillaume in my apartment, on cam. We are going to be doing my radio show from 7-9pmEST "French style!" We will wish in the new year with red wine, foie gras and toast points! And we will be having awkward, strained conversations about French views on film, internet sex and techno music. I'm not kidding. Then we are going wash, I mean wish in the new year by drinking too much red wine (heh heh, clever no? Get it? Wash? Wish? What?) and watching Godard's "Weekend" on my cam, after the radio show. Tune in and watch us watch a movie and get shit-faced in the face of pretentious cinema! We will get drunk and join the abstract, post-structuralist revolutionaries Roland and Corinne as they shit on the civilized French capitalists with Three Stooges-style car accidents, rape, fire, bullets, sub titles and non-stop hilarity!!! "The horror of the bourgeoisie can be dislodged only with even more horror!" Will the line between reality and cinematic fiction be blurry? Tune in and not know! I hope Guillaume doesn't get a better offer like "ring in the New Year in Times Square" and cancel on me! If he does I hope he gets blown up! I know, in my deepest of deep hearts that at least one or two lonely souls out there, somewhere out in the world will be listening and watching us (or me) on cam to ring in the new year since they are so sad and have nothing better to do than watching us (or me) lonely souls have nothing better to do. Helping people... that's what I (we) am (are).  During the show Guillaume and I may be there too, but only if it's "French" enough. For a photo of this evening go here.

8/20/01:  "Worst show ever" Yow! This show wasn't just infested with technical difficulties... it was wrought with technical difficulties of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!!! It was a technical disaster of epic and apocalyptic proportions!!!!! Gregory cancelled at the last minute so Mark was there to fend for himself. Everything was in place;  Valerie Solanas and David Foster Wallace stories to tell, music to play, questions to answer, songs to sing about schizophrenic people on the subway. And BOOM. Mark's computer kept freezing AND his modem kept disconnecting AND at things kept "accidentally" getting unplugged AND the power on the breaker went out twice AND there was a spinning demonic dervish hovering around the proceedings most of the time. Yow! Mark did get to sing his song "Schizophrenic Man on the Subway" and the few people who heard it amongst all the John Cage-like gaps of silence while Mark was trying to re-launch all the programs to broadcast his show (only to have the computer freeze up immediately again - usually about four times in a row each time). Too bad Mark wasn't on the air, he has never LAUGHED so much during a "broadcast". Thanks to everyone who tried to tune in - hope to see you next week, demon permitting.

8/13/01:  Mark broadcasts ALONE at Mark's place. LIVE ON MARK'S CAM!!! Email questions, requests, harassment, bombs, botox advice and comments to Mark. Gregory is really tired from ...um "studying" all night. I'm gonna play lots and lots of music and talk about myself and my upcoming trip and maybe blab some stuff I shouldn't. Hmmmm... maybe I can trick Domenic into talking when he gets in too. I'll get the chloroform.

*My friend GregoryNYC.com has alas decided to stop doing the show. It was a completley drama-free, friendly split and we are still great friends. Sorry everyone - no gossip. Gregory is in a "working a lot" phase right now and just doesn't have the wherewithall to do the show. Who knows though - he may return one day!!!
