Remember the Boston band the Del Fuegos? An earlier incarnation of the band, back in college — a band that was the opening act for a dorm concert, with my band as headliner — was called the Jogging Wankers.

Although the penis envy/castration complex thing has been around ever since Freud. That doesn't make it incorrect, but that does make it a very old idea.

I honestly only know about the Del Fuegos from a Juliana Hatfield song.

Well I went to Oberlin College, and it just so happens that the first real "runner's guru, Jim Fixx" lived in Oberlin. Related??

Abby Normal, maybe that's his wife, I found a female brain also labeled that...

Last of the Red Hot Mamas!
And a then-topical reference to Prince's name/symbol change!

X degrees of triviation: Marty Feldman selected the A.B. Normal brain. Thelma Houston appeared for a while in Marty Feldman's comedy series.
12:30pm
Matt from Springfield:
@kat: Frahnkensteen, yes.
To continue this Mel Brooks streak, watch the conference scene in "High Anxiety"--where psychologist Mel tries to talk about penis envy with young children in the room.
12:31pm
Matt from Springfield:
Good observation still b/p! Let's keep the triviation going!
Actually that's ALL we do on these boards! :)

I really enjoyed "The Man with Two Brains," apropos of very little.
@still b/p
True story: Yesterday, when the first batch of potential jurors were being dismissed from my group, one of the names called by the clerk was "Thelma Houston." Well that got me scrambling to Google images on my iPhone to compare with the mid-60s-looking African American woman in the room with me.
Verdict: Not the same Thelma Houston.

matt, imho that film doesn't get enough love. always tried to catch it on tv as a kid. all i need to see is a still of harvey korman with the werewolf teeth in his mouth and i can't breathe i'm laughing so hard. plus, mmmmmmadeline kahn.

Woulda been great if you both were selected and you spent the next several days speaking to her and treating her as if she WERE.

@LJFW: Mel gives such a funny but loving tribute to Hitchcock, I love that one.

The one jury I actually got onto was out in Los Angeles. During voir dire it was found out one of the jurors had the same last name as the defendant -- but no relation assured. Turned out this juror was involved in an indiscretion that caused a mistrial. The Judge was not amused, and it was such a disappointment in my earnest wish to do my civic duty.

This came up the other week, the earliest WFMU schedule available on the Internet Archive (Nov '96). THIS edition of A Rough Mix was actually in its original run at the time! Wednesday 7-8 pm, right after Seven Second Delay!

Oh the monumental fool I could have made of myself. What a lost opportunity.

Hey, I just remembered that last name was "Coulter." Heh!
12:40pm
kat330:
Thanks for the link, Matt. Certainly proves a great loyalty in the FMU family.
12:44pm
Matt from Springfield:
@kat: Loyalty over time, and over different time slot changes.
In fact I just noticed Busy Doing Nothing was once the Thurs-Fri overnight slot, where Stan is now. Charlie and Doug, separated only by Nachum on Fri mornings!
12:45pm
listener james from westwood:
liked the switcheroo to the natural voice. breakin' kayfabe!
12:47pm
listener james from westwood:
and that juror whom nobody wanted to impanel grew up to be ... tony coulter. and now you know the rrrrrest! of the story.
My first ever WFMU slot was 3-6:30 early Monday morning leading into Nachum (back when Nachum's show started at 6:30.
12:47pm
Matt from Springfield:
Ah, this song is by Soul Coughing.

@LJfW: "Grew up to be"? Yeah, they have a really tough time getting enough jurors for the trials out in L.A., but they haven't yet resorted to enlisting minors. :)

Matt from Springfield:
DAWN PENN! I HAVE this one! This is incredible, Steinski was wise to choose this!
12:49pm
listener james from westwood:
okay, i laughed at that last wonka drop-in way too hard.
i really love the archives for, among other reasons, making late-night djs easily accessible for daylight listening. lotsa goodness going on in the safe harbor hours.

northguineahills:
This version of "You Don't Love Me", is different from the one I have, and I think mine is titled "No, No, No".
12:51pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Doug: You got your start in the crucible of that hard-to-fill late night slot!
I thought Dawn Penn's portrayal of Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High was just brilliant.
12:51pm
listener james from westwood:
kat, sometimes i think my friends' kids might be just the thing the jury pool needs. or the voting rolls. they've got more horse sense than some adults i have to interact with.

Willy Wonka/Jon Stewart: "I SAID, GOOD DAY!!!"
12:52pm
Matt from Springfield:
" "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" is an interpretation of Willie Cobbs' 1960 song "You Don't Love Me", which was inspired by Bo Diddley's 1955 song "She's Fine, She's Mine". "
12:53pm
Matt from Springfield:
"It is a remake of her 1967 song "You Don't Love Me". The song was her only Billboard hit, peaking at #58 on the Hot 100 and #10 on the Hot Dance charts in 1994."
12:54pm
kat330:
I thought Fast Times at Ridgemont High was rather brilliant.
The book Fast Times at Ridgemont High is also surprisingly good. Cameron Crowe actually went undercover as a HS student to write it -- not much of a stretch for him at the time, apparently.

Say, whatever happened to Michael Penn? Must say he wooed me on board with "No Myth," then he gets married and, whomp, there it isn't.
12:58pm
listener james from westwood:
early on as an fmu listener (early 90s), i heard a rumor that there was a ban on playing show tunes. but then i'd hear jonesey play "man of la mancha" cuts, or tunes like this cut from steinski's show, and i'd wonder, was this ban bs? an in-joke?
The show tunes ban was a oft-repeated goof from Station Manager Ken. No doubt he wished it to be true, but there has never been a ban on any non-FCC-problematic content.
1:01pm
kat330:
Awwwww, you jokers kill me. Now you're all going to trial.

northguineahills:
Holy crap, Emmett Miller. I need to get more of his stuff after reading Nick Toshes' "Where the Dead Voices Gather".
1:01pm
listener james from westwood:
that's what i thought, doug. and later on, ken himself developed an acute addiction to non-english-language "jesus christ superstar" original cast albums.
1:01pm
Matt from Springfield:
Po Pimp feat. Twista, seguing into the original cast recording of "Fiorello!"
What a creative mind that Steinski has!
1:02pm
listener james from westwood:
kat: i've been called trying, certainly, but trial, that's something new. (actually not true; was a defendant in a mugging case once.)
1:03pm

@Doug: Just a typical qualified Wikipedian, although that apple would be a healthier side with this reuben than fries...
