I’m currently appearing in Macbeth which has (admittedly) received mixed reviews. One reviewer on the internet – a journalist named Matt Boothman – was particularly unkind about me. This song is my emotional response to his review.

Warning: this song contains strong language.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, when I can’t sleep, I get on the internet and listen to Resonance FM, a tiny radio station in London. I can usually expect to hear something unexpected: a man calling operators all over the world and trying to track down the phone number for a local zoo… a bunch of machine noises…. the sound of a dinner party… Vietnamese pop music… a woman belching into the microphone…

Resonance is a wonderfully weird and idiosyncratic volunteer-run place. It broadcast a tiny distance. It airs music, field recordings, interviews, and nonsense. Maybe you’ve listened to it before. If you haven’t, I recommend it (104.4 fm if you live in London or resonancefm.com on the interwebs).

I made a short audio love letter to Resonance– it’s an interview with Richard Thomas, the station manager, intercut with sound and clips from the broadcast.

Last year, a friend of mine had an amazing dream: he was a terrorist, playing golf with other terrorists. In his golf bag, slung over his shoulder, he carried an array of clubs (putters, irons, and the like) along with a number of machine guns. He knocked a golf ball high into the air, withdrew a machine gun from his bag, and shot it to bits…

The dream got me thinking: surely, the incidence of terrorism dreams has soared in the last six years. The constant barrage of terrorism-related news, the stupid yapping mouth of G.W. Bush, the See Something Say Something signs on the subways, the haranguing voice on the airport intercom that talks about the never-ending Orange Alert — it all must seep into our subconscious minds and then get hilariously scrambled at night.

So I’ve been trying to find people who’ve had these dreams, record them, and turn them into tiny radio stories. my original idea — that people are having unprecedented numbers of terrorism-related dreams — doesn’t seem to be true because I haven’t found very many. But here are three of them, anyway… they’re a peculiar mix of hilarity, absurdity, and sometimes revealing xenophobia… Have YOU, good listeners, had any terrorism dreams?
