That is great. I've never heard that 1972 album.

Imi, so thanks. Haven’t crossed paths with Gaylord in ages. Maybe last time was at LaLa Brooks show in Astoria at which Ira and Georgia were in attendance as well.

Glad the playlist features the tune whose title derives from part of my screenname.

if WFMU web pages still look like that, you should still be able to save the m3u, open it in notepad, copy the mp3 address and put that in getright. they're not playing fair imo.

I'm 100% in favour of radio station playlist pages still being done with tables in Composer, I just want to be able to still take the audio away and listen to it while walking or doing the dishes

RFI: A long time ago a friend lent me a Bonzo Dog Band dubbed cassette, and it had a track on it that used a tape loop - an early sample, really - of pool balls being hit, and also one of a chainsaw. Does anyone know what this is and where it can be found?
I'm afraid I'll go to my grave not knowing what this was. It's possible that it wasn't even a BDB song and was just apended to the cassette, I guess, but it was very similar in style to slush in my memory, sort of a slow, 12/8 feel to it.

Roger Ruskin Spear demonstrating some of his creations.
I love stuff like this and Tim Hunkin's Novelty Automaton/Under The Pier Show, Sam Smith - it all seems of a piece. Does anyone else make things like this? Some of Vic Reeves stuff is similar I guess.

this documentary about Sam Smith is great, seems like it might be of interest to fans of the Bonzos

Wilf Lunn was a mainstay of children’s TV in the 70s, similar absurdist hippy vibe as Ruskin Spear.

Worth watching to the end to see his worm catcher.

Wilf Lunn is great, it's funny how there was this moment where you had stuff like Vision On where children's tv and experimental stuff could cross over, like Sylvester McCoy dividing his time between kids tv and the Ken Campbell Roadshow. Various Clive Doig shows as well
