Product Description
Joe serves on a mental hospital ship that considers itself an independent nation and declares war on New Zealand. He attends a scientific conference on aphrodisiacs, which have the side effect of enhancing memory. Then he goes on an archeological dig in Peru with a beautiful woman, stirring his desire and leading to a painful recollection. These comic stories are juxtaposed against a true account of the longing and loneliness of a woman growing up and finding an impossibly painful love.

Lavida Lujosa (verified owner) – :
Joe recorded a lot of brilliant shows, but I prefer the ones in which he delivers deadpan monologues that shift seamlessly between absurdity and realism while hypnotic rhythms loop in the background. For this reason, Just Get Me Out of Here is one of my favorites.
I don’t know why, but recordings like this soothe my 21st century angst and anomie. While so many things in my life have lost their edge and relevance over time, some of Joe’s recordings have only become more significant and powerful in spite of the passing decades
Joe was a radio god. A bodhisattva of the airwaves. The best medicine.
