I just listened to the archived show AIFG. Emmett can, I hope, rest easy, since his dad definitely did not make a fool of himself and is a bit more famous than before. I knew about Bobbie Gentry's other stuff, so now I feel all cool and cultural all the more. (A friend once sent me a print from Japan that had an enclosure in it assuring me that the print would make my house "beautiful and cultural all the more.")
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I wasn't familiar with Bobbie Gentry, outside "Ode" and some of the Glen Campbell duets (I'm a sucker for any version of "All I Have to Do Is Dream," and yes, that includes the Andy Gibb/Victoria Principal version), but I liked the concept of "one-hit wonders" being lost to the extent that they did a lot more than their one hit.
The Tornados ("Telstar") come to mind.

Anyone else heard about the upcoming Bobby Darin biopic?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Yeah, it's getting a massive push and is tipped as an Oscar contender by the few people who haven't already decided Jamie Foxx will win.

It got a terrible review in The Guardian.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
How can that be? It's up on their website. I expect one can buy copies of transcripts or the recording of the actual show.
Well, I meant while you were on the radio in real-time. I just saw your link to it in Press.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Yeah, I think Spacey's gonna find out he's no longer top of the heap in the hard way on this movie.
Fiona -- sorry, I get it now. The song is just a fantasia on the name, which rhymes with many things, like "not an iota" and "reaching my quota" and "no Nino Rota." It also has the only reference to the Pantone color system I can think of in pop music, though my knowledge is not as encyclopedic as some. Speaking of which...
Hec, I am so looking forward to hearing you geek out on the radio, oh-whoa-oh-oh, on the radio! I will have to stream it this evening.

If I only had a brain...
Build your own Gramophone: [link] that records on to CDs. Manually, by scratching grooves into them.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
That Very Cool Things site that they reference is actually my friend's store. Very cool for getting anime, Japanese movies, j-pop, and the like. Thus the name.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Just not the same. Of course, for such a little-known song, there's been an awful lot of renditions. We hvae the Modern Lovers version, which is the original. I think there were a couple others, too.
John Cale's version is pretty famous. There was also a very good version done for REPO MAN, but I can't remember (if I ever knew) who did that version. I found Bowie's version AWFUL! And I like most of that album otherwise.
