You Know Who... 8 Something

Jukka Tolonen

So I am due to have hip replacement surgery in just over a week, and the reason that I didn’t do the show yesterday was that I had a doctor’s appointment to get medical clearance for the procedure. Evidently, my doctor saw something that he didn’t like too much on my EKG and sent me over to see my cardiologist (who I haven’t seen in far too long). Evidently I need to have something called a “nuclear stress test” on Thursday to make sure I am healthy enough for surgery. Consequently, I have decided to start “sober ‘tober” a little early. So if I seem unenthused and fried, it is because I decided to take some edibles and see if that would work for the broadcast. I don’t remember much except for confusing Max Schmeling with Max Baer.

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...

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) ...

You Know Who... Feels Eccentric

Neil Innes, 1981 Photo by Michael Putland Whenever Brett comes on the show with his bag of tunes, I always find some kind of common thread, or an overarching theme, even when he didn’t intend to. I proposed that he run with this idea and see if I am able to figure out that small factor is that links the songs. I will say this: He really stumped me this time. He eventually revealed to me that he had in mind an actual narrative of a person from small, quieter town visiting New York City and slowly going insane. Looking at the entire list (of which he throws fifteen to twenty songs, of which, during the show, we pick five or so to actually play), I supposed I can see where the songs fit into that theme. Still, I have no idea how he expected to guess that. In any event, it was a good show and a fun hang. We got some cool Neil Innes songs in there, rare B-sides by The Who (including a notorious imposter track). With Brett you can generally count on something Beatles or Harry Nilsson related...
