Another Children\u2019s Television is a live recreation of an imaginary library music record, the titles of which come from children\u2019s television programs of the 1970’s that never saw production. On the one hand, these musical blocks of Anglo-American cultural memory may induce a melancholia for a lost time when daily routine was shaped by free-to-air television, and not everything was privatised. On the other, to quote Walter Benjamin, ‘in waste products, children recognize that the face of the world of things turns towards them, and towards them alone’. <\/em>(TM)
