This talk examines the underground 鈥淩adio Bat鈥 show aired on Radio B92 every Monday throughout the 鈥渙ccupied鈥 Belgrade ether during the 1990s. Run by one of the pivotal figures in Belgrade鈥檚 counterculture art scene, a Serbian radio disc jockey Miomir Grujic虂 Fleka, the late-night three hour long S虒is虒mis虒 Radio was one of the most remarkable, albeit marginal, voices of the urban underground resistance during Milos虒evic虂鈥檚 rule. The talk will analyze the diverse narrative, vocal, musical and medial disruptive strategies Fleka successfully employed in his 鈥渁nti-show FM cabaret鈥 in order to offend, irk, and provoke apparently drowsy citizens鈥攐r, as he called them, 鈥渮ombies鈥濃攚ithin the capital of what, at the time, was both the nonexistent SFR Yugoslavia and its self-proclaimed mutant version of FR Yugoslavia.
