During the Gough and Millar years of "Smallville", I always thought the DC comics characters should've been gradually eased off the stage and the show focused on Ms. Mack's character.

What we’ve heard so far reminds me of the Tooth & Nail label of the 90s, in that every conceivable secular genre (in T&N’s case, shoegaze, death metal, punk) could be Christianized.

I think it was in 1997 WFMU was streaming with TrueSpeech encoding. Then came RealAudio (1999?), then MPEG Level 3 (2004?), then AAC (2018?).

That doorbell was, of course, rung by the Phantom Witnesses who didn't want you to listen to this hour. Savour your partial victory now, and then full via the archive.

I hadn't heard that, but I remember a long time ago evangelists claiming the smurfs, having blue skin and black lips, were corpses that promoted necrophilia

I read that evangelicals (who, incidentally, hate J.W.) were spreading the rumour that Smurfs were gay men who'd drowned themselves. I can neither consmurf or smurnye this.

I heard a recording supposed to be from the 1950s (from a fanatickal home recordist whose family rented a room to an old Chasid) of a Chasidic niggun (wordless melody) that is _exactly_ the opening of {the "Banana Splits" theme}/"Buffalo Soldier".

Wait, no, I've misremembered it, probably because of the 'Hoy yoy yoys'. What I _did_ hear was a niggun very obviously based on "Miserlou", which is not suprising because it was an incredibly popular song from around 1920 onward with Jews in Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey…as well as with Turks, Armenians, Arabic-speakers….
