The pornographic funk intrigues me
"No Head No Backstage Pass", now there's some pornographic funk. (Yes, it's a real song.)
'Dirty Girls'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

How cool is it that the guy who reviews Funkadelic for Allmusic also reviews the Lothars?
Our first endorsement is a good one. Back cover blurb #1:
"Scram's Capricious Guide is a genre-surfing Smithsonian of overlooked musical marvels. Without fetishizing obscurity for its own sake, the Guide sidesteps cynical cool vs. uncool upsmanship and celebrates castoffs -- by both the forgotten and the famous -- which exude trend-transcending merit. Each entry compels you to seek out the music."

Drats. Both the high-bandwidth servers are full, and our firewall seems to be blocking both the low-bandwidth servers. Oh well.

Who 'dat?
He's a really cool D.J. at WFMU. He also wrote this great book on "outsider music."
WFMU.org is my favorite internet radio station.
He's a really cool D.J. at WFMU.
He's also the founder of the Raymond Scott Orchestrette, whose cover of "Powerhouse," featuring Brian Dewan's rippin' electric zither solo ("The last word in rock: zither!"), is on my Buffista mix. My buddy George, who's the reason Hec has a David Johansen-signed copy Bubblegum Music, and a photo of DJ holding the book that I'll send one of these days -- I really mean it this time... -- is the bassist. My fellow Bloomfield Central grad, from deep in the heart of the Finger Lakes, that beautiful region of upstate New York profiled by the lovely and talented Karen Tyler (when did Diana Scarwid get so good looking?), and musical director for Dame Edna Everage, Wayne Barker, plays piano and writes many of the arrangements. ("His composition, 'A Kiss Without Touching,' for theremin, piano, and toy piano, was premiered in Moscow by world-renowned thereminist Lydia Kavina in 1999...") And speaking of the Finger Lakes, Wonderfalls and Raymond Scott, Andy Partridge is on the advisory board of the Raymond Scott archives.
dizzy.
