The Willsaphone Stupid Show is a two CD collection of recordings edited from two different broadcasts on KPFA's Over the Edge radio show, hosted by Don Joyce, and it’s probably our most popular Over The Edge CD release.

As a founding member of the group, The Weatherman (a.k.a. David Wills) has been involved with Negativland since the beginning. But before that he was an audiophile of an unusual nature, and began recording himself and his family at a very young age. Presented on these discs is an extensive audio collage using the home-recordings David Wills made of himself and his family, dating back to when he was a child. For the uninitiated, these are extremely voyeuristic samples of a suburban family from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The Weatherman is a fan-favorite among Negativland fans, and by proxy, his family has become well known via Over The Edge. This CD set is a chance to experience the Wills family firsthand.

The Over the Edge program is history’s longest-running freeform radio show, as heard on Thursdays at midnight on KPFA FM in Berkeley, California since 1981. Originally helmed by the late Don Joyce, and now by Jon “Wobbly” Leidecker.
