The
deadcast presents the wesley willis broadcast!
The deadcast
is back and better than ever fully powered with DSL, the stream is now
100% live and supported at the deadcast computer bunker. To celebratethe
return of deadcast and internet broadcasting freedom we have decided to
do a wesley willis event for "however long it takes". The legendary
willis is a true free speech advocate and his music has inspired countless
others to perform on the fringe of sanity.
What is a magicus??
Wesley Willis is a schizophrenic
street singer who built up a small cult following with his bizarre,
three-chord rants about trivial everyday items, music, and people he
knows. Willis was discovered singing on the streets of Chicago in the
early '90s. For the first part of the decade, several independently
released tapes of his songs appeared, eventually followed by indie recordings
of his albums. By 1995, he had gained the attention of several well-known
musicians, including Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam . Shortly before
signing a major label contract with American Records in 1996, Willis
was profiled on MTV, which resulted in increased recognition in certain
alternative rock circles.
The frightening thing about
willis' music is the fact is that it is so disturbing and odd but it
really gets a hold of you, like a magicus so to speak. The tempo of
the music is the only real change other than the lyrics, wesley claims
the demons in his haid (his spelling) make songs more profane than others,
and there is a great variance in the explicit nature of the various
songs.
