Your live sound collage was especially good this week; I particularly enjoyed the use of the Kojak record- that brought back memories for me. When I was little (about 15 years ago) I had a bunch of old records, not sure how I got them, and I had this Kojak record. I used to listen to it all the time- and I used to play that section you used in the collage over and over (especially, for some reason, the line "mmmm, nice kiss"- I was little and thought it was hilarious). I think my parents still have it at their house, so I'm going to have to dig it up next time I'm there.
I also had this old Star Trek record very similar to the Kojak one, with four stories on it. It's hilarious also. I might have to try to get it on a CD or mp3 it somehow.
Anyways, great show, as always- I never miss your show. Just wanted to mention that your collage was excellent and brought back some memories.
Nick,
Glad you enjoyed it...I imagine you must have been slightly shocked when the Kojak record entered the mix!
The company that put the Kojak album out (Power Records, I believe) also released other stuff in the same vein: Star Trek (there are at least 2 or 3 different ones), Planet of the Apes, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, etc. I have a bunch of them that I've never really gotten around to using on the air...but I suspect they'll be making appearances soon.
Thanks for listening...how did you discover the show?

Andy,
I was quite surprised and thrilled when Kojak popped up- especially since it was the section of what was my favorite "story" from that record when I was a kid. My parents still have it, and the Star Trek record. Extremely cheesy, but great fun. It really made me want to head to the vinyl store and dig out some stuff. I'll definitely be downloading the podcast if/when you post it.
I listened to Luxuria a while back, before it briefly went off the air. I re-discovered it several months ago, and I always catch your show. The music is always long before my time (I was born in '80) but, well, they just don't make music or the other neat stuff like that anymore.
Nick,
Downloads should be up and available by early next week.
If you--or anybody else reading this--wants to email me at the address shown on my Blogger profile, I'd be happy to add you to my weekly pre-show email list.
And, yeah, I'd agree with your last point, and add this: the show is my attempt to grapple with a whole bunch of stuff--sounds, ads, attitudes, ideas--which has vanished from the earth without much fanfare. I'm not old enough to have experienced most of what I'm playing in anything resembling its original context, so the show represents my (flawed and inevitably futile) effort to restore some of that context, if only for a few hours on a Tuesday.
Best,
Andy
Hercules Freeman -
Good idea! I'll get around to it sometime in the next few weeks...
