"The whole life of those societies in which modern conditions of production prevail presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. All that once was directly lived has become mere representation." Instead of a direct recording of the text, here a collection of people read some of their favorite aphorisms, and tell stories about how those aphorisms relate to their lives.
The readings are taken from the now defunct Audio Anarchy, the audio can no longer be downloaded from their website but copies of the audio can be downloaded here.
The text of Society of the Spectacle (SOS) can be found here. Though personally I recommend reading Guy Debord's follow up Comments on Society of the Spectacle first, Debord is a lot more clearer in that.
