Over The Edge Vol. 5: Crosley Bendix: The Radio Reviews
Crosley Bendix Radio Reviews is a collection of recordings edited from a wealth of material broadcast on KPFA's Over the Edge radio show, hosted by Negativland member Don Joyce weekly. Each recording on this particular disc comes from a different broadcast, all featuring the character Crosley Bendix.
As a regular feature on Over the Edge, Crosley Bendix (dubbed the "Director of Stylistic Premonitions for The Universal Media Netweb") presents Monologues on cultural phenomena, with a typically "Negativland" sense of humor throughout. The selections here are fairly broad examples of Crosley's critical style. Probably his most famous monologue regards the discovery of a new primary color, called "Squant."
This album was released in 1993 by Negativland's own label, Seeland Records, as a CD.

Famous quotes containing the words edge, radio and/or reviews:
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“The skilful Nymph reviews her force with care:
Let Spades be trumps! she said, and trumps they were.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
