Sound of Confusion's Famous Zaireeka Radio Experiment 01/05/09

The first Sound of Confusion of the year was the can't miss radio show of 2009. With four CD trays at my disposal, I did the unthinkable: play the Flaming Lips four-Disc masterpiece Zaireeka over the radio. Hearing a mixdown on headphones is great, but physically hearing all four discs simultaneously playing through a set of headphones is mind-melting. On top of that, my friend Steve Binson called up to the show after his girlfriend broke up with him. The conversation is below and lets just say he had the breakup coming.
