My Favorite Martian

Yippee, Magic Carpet Burn has the theme song from My Favorite Martian and it has LYRICS, yes it does. Maybe today doesn't suck as bad as I first thought.

Surfs Up

'Surfs Up' is the emotional centerpiece of SMiLE. A song written with 3 movements, Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks wrote this on the night of November 4th, 1966. They were both sure that this song was a masterpiece, and in my own view they were right. The song was about "a child's freedom", as Van Dyke Parks said years later in an interview. But the song is seen by many as something a lot different than a happy child anthem: Brian's Swansong. When the Brian scrapped SMiLE in 1967, he was scrapping his last real musical project for the next 20 years. And, perhaps, 'Surfs Up' was his last real masterpiece.

Accident Songs: "Johnny Remember Me"

A song that will give you the chills! One of Joe Meek's finest.

Los Indestructibles

Nice compilation of old school music from ¡ QUE VIVA LA GAITA !.

Trippin' Out With Dock Ellis.

Over at WFMU's Beware of the Blog there's a terrific summary of the career of Dock Ellis, certainly one of the greatest characters to ever play the game of baseball. The only thing missing from that fine post is a link to the song "Dock Ellis" by Barbara Manning and the SF Seals.

So, here ya go...

Dock Ellis - SF Seals

Yvonne Přenosilová - Boty proti lásce

I guess "shoes" sounded better in Czech? I'm still on a Czech bender at Lethal Dose.

TNT

Here's my song of the day--granted, I haven't been listing to too much today but nevertheless--it's "Eso Eso Eso" by Los TNT, found at Ya Yo Salva Musical.

While you're there, you might want to get a swell version (see below) of "Don't Be Cruel" by Los Llopis, in which the lead singer can barely hold back his tears, or maybe it's just dyspepsia.

Karel Gott - Příval pláče ("Rawhide")

See more Karel on my blog, or search him on youtube. Be sure to check out the mindblowing "Lady Karneval."

Let Me Play For You Some Of My Recordings

See, I’ve saved them all on reel-to-reel tapes. It’s this DELICIOUS program I record from my radio Wednesday nights. “SwaG!” -- I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean, or what exactly is wrong with the odd little man who appears to be in charge. He has such a weird edge. But his musical selection is unlike any I’ve heard on the Top 40. It’s so invigorating!

Here. I have four of these radio programs, all from the end of the summer of ’09. They are three hours each, so please make yourself comfortable, dear.

Accident Songs: "The Drunken Driver"

This twisted tale is my favorite accident song ever. I can't believe it even got recorded and I long to make a video of it. While I don't usually post those "pictures of the record" youtubes, this is the only way to share the illness that is Ferlin Husky's "The Drunken Driver." This song's got it all - and it's abrupt ending just leaves you, well, wanting more, in a sick way.

Crayola WeeGee

Crayola has an online coloring page maker - so I thought why not do someting devilish with it? And while war photos and starving children might be the obvious cold hearted ironic choice, I went over to If Charlie Parker Etc. and helped myself to some of the fine WeeGee photos they have there and did the following coloring book pages (click for bigger, already !!):

This one's called Season's Greetings....



it came from this....


...and this one's called "Future Crime"



it came from this....


Trivia: WeeGee did special distortion effects for the Red Skelton pic The Yellow Cab Man !!



NOW IT'S YOUR TURN _ GET TA WOIK!

Here's how the cock is crowing "Riki rikki rikki rikki rikki reeeeeeeee"

Was this album by Marais & Miranda supposed to be a respectful tribute to "primitive native" music, or was it simply meant to be pants-wetting hilarious? The album is a suitable companion piece to anything produced by Lucia Pamela.
