Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You (Gaylord Fields on vocals)

awesome!

fierce verz of "He's a Whore"

Where can I listen to this one? The tracklist looks amazing.

"archive unavailable"

I listened to a couple of songs early, but their "covers for pledges" shows have never been very good imho.

i recorded it, but haven't split up the tracks yet

ooh would love to hear it once you have!
the covers for pledges thing is fun! the murdering the classics CD is hilarious.

i have realized that i am never actually going to get around to cutting this into tracks, so here's a 128kbps web rip of the whole show. if *you* feel like cutting it up, do let me know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j29WmdSkE1w

careful of that dead air, ira the k

he has my respect for occasionally playing a Jerry Lewis crank phone call

he sits in regularly for other presenters. here's a list of all his appearances for afterwards on demand listening, https://wfmu.org/playlists/IK

He's DJing again till midnight, loose theme seems to be a tribute to Hal Willner.
