Mr Fab:

bands like Bow Wow Wow, Adam & The Ants, Talking Heads, etc primed me for African music. So thanks, guys.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:05pm
Krys O.:

Ha, Austin! I thought of working that into the mix, but my brain is not firing on all cylinders, so to speak.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06pm
Krys O.:

Bow Wow Wow's postponed show was the impetus for the PiL riot show at the Ritz. I was there. And then we saw BWW later.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:06pm
Austin Rich:

I've been sitting on a "Be-Labor" Day pun all weekend, but I just haven't had a chance to deploy it properly.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Austin Rich:

The "lost" band that slots in with Bow Wow Wow and PIL is King Trigger, who had a great couple singles, and then the album fizzled out. But "The River" is a pretty solid track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Rich in Washington:

stranded here at work for an extra hour so I can tune in proper.

Ah, sorry for the strandedness, Rich.

I'll have to check them out, Austin.

I'll never forget seeing Conway Twitty on Night Music with the Residents. I guess that was 1988 or 1989.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:17pm
Krys O.:

Aye, Kat. It's perfectly appointed.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:19pm
Austin Rich:

I remember, a couple years ago, when all the Night Music videos were going around after the gent behind it passed... that one with Twitty and The Residents still baffles me.
  8:20pm
Carmichael:

Heya Krys!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:20pm
Krys O.:

They were both on the same episode performing separately. The Residents joined Conway on stage and he was not averse to it. It was amazing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21pm
Rich in Washington:

Night Music was indeed amazing. You couldn't miss it. There was no telling what they were going to do.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21pm
Krys O.:

Hi, Carmichael!

someone put all the episodes up on YouTube a couple of years ago but I wouldn't be surprised if they're gone.

Wire recorder? Would like to see/hear one of those in action at least once

I want to know what they all talked about in the Green Room. Damn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:24pm
Krys O.:

Chris recorded this on a wire recorder. I gave him a Webcor wire recorder back in 2010, probably ten years after he recorded this song.

Mr Fab:

i have this obscure Chris Butler album. Y'know, the guy from The Waitresses. Super cool stuff on here, using not just wire recorders, but other "obsolete " technologies..
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:25pm
Austin Rich:

That wire recording was both louder and quieter than I imagined it would be.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:27pm
Krys O.:

I was at the Edison Museum in West Orange when Butler and others recorded on a wax cylinder. Graham Maby was part of the band too.
Avatar 🎸 8:27pm
MarkTime:

@Krys O: I can't imagine the wire being able to run too fast without issues. 50-year-old cassette tape is "fun" enough to use

I need to explore more Chris Butler. I only hear things to recommend him more. (And the Waitresses were great, too.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:29pm
Krys O.:

Chris Butler is a whiz with archaic technology.
Avatar 8:29pm
Mr Fab:

Austin: TIN HUEY!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:30pm
Krys O.:

You should check out Kilopop! That is the fake pop duo that Chris had with Carla Murray. The exclamation mark is part of the band name, btw.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 8:30pm

I usually need a Sherpa to guide me through to the good stuff. That's what WFMU often is: my guide through the junk to the stuff I really want.

Phyllis Diller! Cool

I have that Diller record. Good stuff.

So many great Jam Handy and Coronet industrial films on the Prelinger Archives. You can download the audio and/or video files.

I really responded to that Calvin & Hobbes comic where he makes the duplication machine. That appealed to my inner sense of mortality.

The Podcast, "You Must Remember This," did an excellent series on Sammy and the Rat Pack, and I love Sammy three times more than I already did, afterwards. It's a really good series.

Jerry Lewis said that he would eventually explain what drove him to do these telethons, but then he died without telling us.

Is that the final joke?
