Matt from Springfield:
First time I heard of Trussel--does that refer to the band, or the guy singing? Any clue on original year?

Chop Scott:
Your opener theme is burned into a strange loop in my head, often find myself muttering Raadiooo Radio.
Joe McG:
Matt from Springfield:
Radio!
Indeed Scott, WFMU is REAL radio! I've always loved Joe's theme for that reason. Plus it's classic Sesame Street! And silly! And features (probable) Joe Raposo-written music fragments.

If this was originally from 2000, I really wish this (and other original ecletic music) was on the airwaves then--terrestrial radio in DC is a wasteland, and that was all I knew. Fortunately the Internet has since freed me!

That's an intriguing thought, kind of like the Allegory of the Cave, all of us flying around, obeying orders of a Wicked Witch we don't even know.

And guess what? Joe Raposo again! Probably his best known composition.

I'm excited about Brute Force as well! New life for his songs after 4 decades.

Matt from Springfield:
The sound kind of reminds me of a Church song "Youth Worshipper"--it has an 80s alternative feel consistent with the rest of the band's work, but with powerful orchestral overdubs giving it a haunting quality.

@CH: The problem is I'm searching for Weird Al's Facebook video, and I'm finding people posting Weird Al videos ON their FB pages. Just like when I tried to find an Altered Images song "Happy Birthday"--hard to find an OTHER Happy Birthday song!
Matt from Springfield:
If Julie's still on, I need to email you specifically which Cocteau Twins songs I was going to rec. Joe made me think of that, because I love some of their stuff for rainy day music.
