Birth and Destruction: Rise and Decline of a California Teenage Girl

This “Valerie” tape was easily the most wizard thing I was ever sent to play on the show. Some of the other unique cassette documents I used back then will be featured here in future blogs.
Not only does Valerie sustain the energy and focus of this tape from paused scene to scene, she also at one point has a “conversation” with a “rock star/band” in which she is actually improvising lines off of a voice that she’s turning up and down on the radio – a risky and hilarious move.
