You Know Who... Is Full of Snot

I got hit hard with something this weekend, and I still feel sick as a dog. However, with Brett co-hosting today, I figured I could power through.
 
So what happened today? Brett’s picks went from the amusing to the random, to the highly questionable. Thinking about it after the fact, I don’t know what possessed up to play “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,” and contrary to what we said during the show, I don’t think it is good idea to try to revive the word “satisfactual.” (I mean, Van Morrison can try if he wants.)
 
In any event, we had a good time. I don’t know about the people out in radioland. There was plenty to like, though. I would say that this episode is worth listening to in for nothing other than the live Atomic Rooster, hearing Sting cover Squeeze, and a killer recording of Johnny Winter doing his version of Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited.”
 
I also think I may have introduced Brett to one of his new favorite bands (Barclay James Harvest), but see if that takes root.

For All of Your LIC Radio Needs…

It feels a little inappropriate that I should be starting this site. After all, LIC Radio was Walker’s baby. He brought together a community both of listeners and broadcasters that has been a source of light-hearted diversion in good times, and a source of comfort and connection in dark times. Yeah, I know I might be making it sound too significant for a platform that used to host a segment called “Fart of the Week,” but sometimes you need to get your head into the gutter in order to gaze at the stars. In any event, a while back a friend hit me with a “hey, what’s that song” kind of query, and asked if there was some kind of way I could post the playlists from the shows. Hence this blog. It may lack bells and whistles, and not nearly enough pornography to justify any use of bandwidth, but if you listen to a show (at least one of the “You Know Who…” segments) and want to know what that song was or who that artist was, it’s here. And if you didn’t listen to the show, there’s a link t...

You Know Who... Goes with the Flo

Who wouldn’t want to be Flo & Eddie? You have numerous smash hits with The Turtles, go on to record and tour with Frank Zappa, then make a bunch of records that are as welcome on the Dr. Demento show as the rock charts. In the meantime, you become radio personalities, as beloved for your wacky humor as your incredible harmonies. At the same time you’re featured vocalists on albums by the likes of Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and even the Psychedelic Furs. Mark Volman, a.k.a. The Phlorescent Leech, or just Flo, passed away last Friday. I have been celebrating his life and catalog since, playing The Turtles, the 1970-71 iteration of The Mothers, and Flo & Eddie recordings constantly. Now it’s your turn to bask in the wonderful, warm, harmonic wackiness that is Flo & Eddie. In addition here are several other great live recordings from the likes of The Stones, Humble Pie, and Prince. Also, you get to hear Björk talk about farts.   Click here to check it out: LIC Radio 9/9/2025 ...

You Know Who... Is Right on Time

Jimmy Cliff, 1982 Photo by John van Hasselt  “It’s between that and exercise, and drugs win hand [sic] down.” -A little wisdom from John Lennon   So let’s see... Tribute was paid to Jimmy Cliff, I found the B-side of that weird Peter Sellers Beatles cover from last week, and I dug out a recording of Sellers and The Beatles talking about Acapulco Gold. Musically, the most pleasant surprises for me this week were finding out that Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s music is far more adventurous than their big hit had led me to believe, and Metallica doing an absolutely brilliant job covering Bob Seger. Sent a lot of love out into the universe for legendary bass player Donald “Duck” Dunn in honor of his birthday, playing some classic Stax cuts that he played on, oh and another surprise, his work on a classic Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tune. I also had a little time left over to pull a few things out of the backburners/leftovers folder, and tell (for the umpteenth time) ...
