Negativland does Disneyland

Cutup artist freaxors Negativland once did a live, pirate broadcast of their show “Over the Edge” from Disneyland. The show, called “A Piddle Diddle Disneyland,” is a magnificently weird three-hour audiocollage of live and remixed audio from roving reporters with low-powered broadcast rigs that were being relayed by a repeater hidden in a van in the Disneyland parking structure. Twenty bucks gets you two 90-minute cassettes and lifetime of weirdness.

We join Doug Piddle and Peter Diddle of the Piddle Diddle Report as they broadcast live from Disneyland. Joining Doug and Peter is Rex Everything, famous unpublishable author, and modern noise group, Negativland. While Rex knowledgeably exposes every dark little nook and cranny in the sordid history of Disneyland, the Weatherman is taking one ride after another and reporting via CB to Doug and Peter’s skybox on the Matterhorn. In between, Negativland does some kind of noise manipulation thing with Disney material. Highly irreverent and probably even more illegal, this show is a radio-only gem.
