Anybody see the new Kids in the Hall on Amazon Prime? Its pretty out there and lots of male full frontal nudity. And other stuff. Just got done with the post apocalyptic DJ spinning the one record he has as his generator runs out of fuel. They are ahead of their time, true comic punks not afraid to laugh at themselves. Wow. Hope they get renewed. The male strippers sketch of 60 somethings was pretty funny and out there. It went embarrassingly long. They are NOT afraid to stick to a joke until the very end.

I had to leave work early with some stomach troubles so I’m listening to EFD while I eat a banana in bed before I pass out.

Glad to see everybody here and to be able to listen and distract myself from my body and the world.

Long live the banana! But not the cruelty that often brings it to our grocery stores, farmers markets, fresh fruit dealers.

Had to learn fluid mechanics this year. From the internet. My textbook was LACKING and it was a GOOD ONE. I tell ya, a university education is merely a licence to learn like they said at China Lake. My book didn't even have the well-known and tested empirical Darcy-Weisbach equation, a must if you are going to design a piping system! My equations satisfied a very picky professional engineer client we have. So I guess I am an ok engineer after all that!

In the early/mid 1970s i used to see the advertisement for Aphrodite's Child's album "666" on the insert in LPs from their company. It was where I learned that 666 has some scary significance to some. I was REALLY suprised to hear them on yhe radio, on wfmu.

I once had a few of Fatima Mansion records sitting among my collection of CD's: the "Viva Dead Ponies" and "Lost In The Former West" albums, and the "The Only Solution: Another Revolution" and "Only Losers Take The Bus" EP's. Sold them all off, eventually. I also had heard of Microdisney years before I'd bought those records, but never knew Coughlan was involved with that group as well.

They do a serviceable version of "Rubberband Man" that I was almost going to play. I think Electric 6 still has that one sewn up, though.

Speaking of which, I still have fond memories of watching the one among many FNM shows at City Gardens I went to go see back in the day. Afaik, Mike Patton hadn't yet become a member of the band when they played that night i saw them.

All the band names are taken, so people started using punctuation and silly spellings so you can google the band (e.g. CHVRCHES). I feel like it started around the time of MGMT. That's when I noticed. I was like "Are the called Management? Or Mug Mutt?"
