Annotation
From Discogs:
Two tracks edited from a 1989 New American Radio commissioned work originally 26:19 in length, credited to Don Joyce and Negativland ...
Several dialogue ("Hey Pa, look!"; "Bam-ba-ba-bam-bam!") and music samples (the haunting harmonica theme) are taken from the Sergio Leone 1968 film "Once Upon A Time In The West."
From New American Radio:
Don Joyce and Negativland: Guns! (1989)
A dense, pulsing “action song,” whose verses deal with America’s intimate relationship with firearms: “The gun and the Bible carved this nation out of the wilderness,” a man exclaims. A tradition unfolds that links the voices of the past as we know them through television cowboy movies and gangster films, to the modern Annie-Get-Your-Gun, the business woman of the ‘eighties with her handy sub-machine gun. An evolving patchwork of movie excerpts and TV ads, statements and information about guns, and of certain phrases repeated like bullets.
Commissioned by NEW AMERICAN RADIO.
