I enjoy the work of Dorothy L Sayers. She is known best as an author of detective stories, but she also wrote plays, translated Dante and created advertisements - as, for instance, 'Guinness is Good for You!'
Anyway, her novel Murder Must Advertise contains two montage-like sequences of advertising slogans. The adaptations of Murder (BBC Radio and Television, both with Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey) leave these out - which is a shame, as I rather think they have a good rhythm. So I have recorded both - please see below.
Enjoy.
Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you're doing . . . stop it! And do something else.
Well, I've got at least one more of these planned!
DeleteHaha that is surprisingly good.
ReplyDeleteThink there's a lot of untapped potential for audio content on blogs - not podcast length, shorter stuff like this, or like the derro recording on False Machine way back when: http://falsemachine.blogspot.com/2014/03/derro.html - have also seen lately a few good posts with thematic/inspirational playlists. Grand Commodore's fiction & poetry readings too.
Hadn't thought about the dErO in a while. Which is presumably how they like it.
