From award-winning public radio producer, Nate DiMeo, comes The Memory Palace. Short, surprising stories of the past, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hysterical, always super-great. For history buffs, fans of public radio shows like This American Life, Radio Lab, and whatnot, and for all admirers of things that are super-great. www.thememorypalace.us \"The best little podcast in the world\" -- Mojo Magazine history, public radio, memory, this american life, radio lab, npr, boingboing, new yorker Nate DiMeo Nate DiMeo natedimeo@gmail.com no no Dam! http://thememorypalace.us/2009/09/episode-19-dam/ http://thememorypalace.us/2009/09/episode-19-dam/#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:30:28 +0000 admin http://thememorypalace.us/?p=354 Continue reading →]]> First piece is Max Richter’s “from 553 w elm st., logan, illinois (snow).” Second is (so far) the memory palace’s only repeat music: a loop taken from “triangles and rhombuses” by Boards of Canada (find the other one. it’ll be like some sort of not-particularly-fun, prizeless game).

The Hoover Dam is rad. The sculpture is rad. The star map is super rad. And super ridiculous. Go see it. If it’s been awhile since you’ve gone to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s website, here’s an article about the sculpture.

This piece was premiered (if you will) as a live reading at Issue 2 of Pop Up Magazine in San Francisco. It was very fun.
