This soaked episode came about on Saturday, May 3, 2008, at 2200 UTC on WBCQ 7.415 and 5.110 MHz. There's more than enough conceptual contunuity for you here, including yard sale vinyl, a Link Wray cover, and poor ol' Blue Boy got busted again on the radio. And, of course, a Jane song by the Birdwatchers. Is this phase one of Doc's Brain?

Some more show notes: Allan has switched WBCQ 15420 back to 17495 because of all kinds of interference, Jay called Allan last night at about :48 into Al's show, and some hams on 3886 the other night were asking Timtron when Marcie's gonna get back on the air and do some more Mae West bits."Make like horse shit and hit the road" closing Tim's show tonight, a repeat from last September. Get ready everyone, for the Flinging Transformer Olympics tryouts!

Easy, Leonard. Go easy, man.

From "An Outline of Abnormal Psychology," Gardner Murphy, ed. (The Modern Library, New York, 1929), "Mental Deficiency," Tredgold, Dr. A. F.

E.J., female, aged 32 years. A pronounced history of insanity and epilepsy on the maternal side, and alcoholism on the paternal side. Has been in the asylum since seven years of age. A repulsive-looking woamn, with a muddy, freckled face, coarse red hair, and numerous stigmata ; crainial circumference, 21 inches. She can walk, but spends the day sitting in a chair turning her head from side to side, rocking to and fro, and biting her hands. She is of unclean habits and is unable of doing anything by herself. She is quite deaf in the right ear, but listens attentively to the ticking of a watch held close to her left one. She seems to have no knowledge of time or place, and apparently no understanding of anything said to her. But when the piano is played, she at once ceases her rhythmic movements and listens attentively. She cannot speak, but will hum the tunes she has heard so well that they are readily recognized. As a rule she is harmless, but upon any attempt at examination she makes violent resistance and tries to bite, and she is at times spiteful and interferes with the other patients.

Did you catch that bit in the middle?

"But when the piano is played, she at once ceases her rhythmic movements and listens attentively. She cannot speak, but will hum the tunes she has heard so well that they are readily recognized."

That is the definition of the Lumpy Gravy Radio Show every time we play Steely Dan.

Does Muffin know what the frequency is?

This was our third fill-in for Jen's 867-5309 show on WBCQ and we enjoyed this opportunity immensely. Like our 121st show a couple of hours ago, we started with a monkey song because it's Commander Bunny Appreciation Month. Thanks again, Jen, for the chance to do your show!

At about 0145 WBCQ 7415 came back in with a nice solid s9 but bothered by scratchies. Jade replayed the show at 0400 on 7415 in place of Radio Operation, audible here with a steady but bothered s7 signal.

Echo with laughter (the Bagpipe Police)

Our 121st show was originally broadcast at 2300 UTC on Saturday, December 2, 2006, on WBCQ 7.415 MHz worldwide shortwave. There is conceptual continuity between the intro LSD bit and FZ's "We're Turning Again." The former selection, entitled "Unknown - Acid The Story of LSD," came from WFMU; the FZ song came from my vinyl collexion. The faux Elvis Zeppelin cover also came from WFMU. Conditions on 7415 were variable, scratchie and bothered by some weird interference.

Update, December 20, 2006: The song I'd misattributed as "Weird Al Yankovic - Smoke A Bowl" is not Al at all. The actual song name is "Smokabowla" and it is by a group called Technohippies, as noted on The Not Al List. See Weird Al's wikipedia entry for more discussion about all the Weird Al misattributions.

Something every Zappa fan should have

Muffin

We have officially adopted another animal here and saved it from certain euthanasia. The local SPCA's are all full because of the Mount Airy Cat Hoarder and also, believe it or not, rescues from Hurricane Katrina.

This little creature, who we've named Muffin, started hanging around here last month, and it didn't take too long before we realized it had nowhere else to go.

For those of you who've heard the voice of Rusty, our 21 year old cat, on our radio show, it is worth noting that Muffin has a voice very similar to Rusty's. Also, she bears a striking resemblance to Molly, my mon and dad's cat, who lost her battle with cancer just last week.

1-800-843-Ol' Bastard

There's a lot of conceptual contunity in this one. Our thirty sixth abuse of the airwaves happened at 2200 UTC on WBCQ 7415, and slimulcasted on various RNI channels and 975pirateradio.com. The shortwave signal was awesome here for the show, and we had listener reports from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas. A most excellent show.

A big load of V1YnL

A couple of weeks ago I was given the role of caretaking for an album collection, which will no doubt blend into the Big Pile we have here. Jane's brother Mark ran out of room for these, so they're here now and we're gonna play as much good stuff as we can from them. Many of these LPs are from Jane's collection, which explains all the girly stuff. As far as we can tell there's at least three girl collections in this mix, man. Requests for songs to play from this list on Lumpy Gravy are most welcome.

Magic mushrooms

Tonight on the Secular Bible Study on WBCQ, the host referenced a book with a strange title that instantly lends itself to googling: The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross.

In a series of articles called Mushrooms and Mankind, The Shaman Shop reveals a review of this work, including the following:

"John Marco Allegro, one of the worlds leading philologists, an original translator of the Dead Sea Scrolls, head of the official Jordanian translation team, put his neck on the line when he wrote his book, The Sacred Mushroom And The Cross, which made numerous connections from sacred doctrinal enigmas and sacraments to the Amanita muscaria. He fearlessly attempted to expose the reality of the mushroom symbolism throughout the Bible, Apocryphal writings, and The Dead Sea Scrolls. He was fully aware of the criticism his book would draw, yet as a true scholar, knowing the importance of the information, he put self aside for the good of all."

Heh, a little critical analysis to ponder on.

And the Radio Legion show on 5PM Sundays on WBCQ played National Lampoon's Deteriorata and a Tom Petty song called Last Dance With Mary Jane. There's the remaining conceptual continuity bits that tie this article back to Saturday's show.

I am truly honored! Tonight Pastor John read a transcript of our very own Pastor John Lewis Drinking Game on tonight's broadcast on truthradio.com. I was very fortunate to have SoundForge chugging away, and as a result I can share this event with you!

He also mentioned in passing that truthradio has been "experimenting" with 7490 for the past week or so to see what reception is like. It looks like truthradio is losing it's satellite feed since the Galaxy 9 satelitte they use exclusively is being decommissioned at the end of the year. Conditions are really poor and nothing but noise was heard here on 7490 this evening (Saturday December 6 from 0005 UTC on).

Incidentally, Pastor John presented a most excellent show this evening! I daresay I heard him use the "S" word at 0039; "Rudolph the red nosed faggot deer" at 0045; followed by an extended rant about overweight people, "she was so fat, when she jumped up in the air she stuck;" and, finally, a brief mention of the drinking game again at 0050.

Grateful Zappa

A strange coincidence this evening on our radio Obscura ~ the frop in Bob's pipe ~ Maharishi Charms ~ Happy Girl Cigarettes ~ Wake and Bake audio stream. We're entertained by eight straight selections alternating between Frank Zappa and the Grateful Dead, quite algorithmically random, in reverse order:

1. Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias [June 26, 1974, Dick's Picks 12]
2. Frank Zappa - Dead Girls of London [original L Shankar version from the "Leaterette" bootleg]
3. Grateful Dead - Viola Lee Blues [from the "live dead" quasi-bootleg, c. 1966]
4. Frank Zappa - How Could I Be Such A Fool [from vinyl]
5. Grateful Dead - Me and My Uncle [super-hyper-fast version, 12/1/66]
6. Frank Zappa - Stuff Up the Cracks [woiiftm outtakes 07]
7. Grateful Dead - Stealin' [original single version]
8. Frank Zappa - I Ain't Got No Heart

This is an awesome start for the holiday weekend.

Mothra!

A little while back I noticed Godzilla Versus Mothra in the DVD section at the local Best Buy, and I had to have it. Jane and I got around to watching it on Friday night. The english soundtrack is a bit warbly, but consistent, and the video transfer is pretty decent.

After we'd enjoyed this classic, we switched over to listen to Radio Reaction Theater, the latest audio animation show from Complex Variables Studio in Pittsburgh. During this show, Brother X used the Mothra Girls song as background music for one of the show's many schetches. If this wasn't enough of a conceptual continuity moment, later in the evening we discovered that AMC was playing the very same movie late Friday night.

Frank Lives

Lost Discs Radio started a surf music show this afternoon with a snippet from "We're only in it for the money", and three hours later on Tasha's show, her second musical offering was "Father O'Blivion" seguing into classical Zappa. About 45 minutes later we were treated to a live "Concentration Moon" with the Flo & Eddie band. It's an awesome start for the weekend to hear diverse FZ material on the airwaves.

Marion's memories are close to ours

As Lopez once said, "And now, something very, very, special."

Marion Webster started her shortwave show this evening with the Liberty Bell Launch, from an Edison cylinder record made in 1904. Jane and I were immediately taken aback by this musical selection, as it reminds us of a certain British comedy show that is, along with Marion, one of our favorite listening pleasures.

Then, as if we weren't completely engrossed in a conceptual continuity moment, Marion played a selection by Ada Jones, called "Cheyenne", that reminded us of the soundtrack from a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon.

We're presenting here the Liberty Bell Launch and Cheyenne, as recorded off of WBCQ's console feed. We hope you enjoy these musical selections as much as we do. If you like this, please consider supporting Marion's show on WBCQ. Marion offers any show for $10 on CD. Contact Marion at:

Go get the axe, there's a flea on Lizzie's ear

Tonight we changed our blog title to "Mama get your hammer (there's a fly on baby's head)", which reminded Jane of Carey Zeigler, who, the last time we were privileged to see him and his band Expensive Hobby, mentioned this immortal song. In the interest of conceptual continuity, we present a quote from Bugs Bunny, from memory:

Peepin' through the knothole on Grandpa's wooden leg,
Why do they build the shore so near the ocean?
Go get the axe, there's a flea on Lizzie's ear,
For a boy's best friend is his mother!

New year's eve

WBCQ's shortwave signal has faded away for the time being, and the pirate bands are clear, so we're channel surfing web feeds. This is twice in the past week we've had a Crack The Sky conceptual continuity moment.

Scott's playing some very interesting music tonight on wbcq.com's internet stream. This is definitely not WBCQ's console feed, unless Brother X has taken over the station and is spinning non-stop progressive music. I just heard "Safety In Numbers" by Crack The Sky, and now something called "Once upon the sea of blissful" by a band called Shpongle. Then, another weird Shpongle song, and some unattributed vintage dance music that makes us think we're getting ready to hear Dieter say "Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!"

Then, we heard "Skindiver" by Crack The Sky. Now, I know the album this comes from has never been released on CD. I ripped this off of vinyl a while back, and I've shared some CDs and tunes with Scott, so I think I know where this particular tune might have come from. I can even hear the pops during the fade out. Thanks, buddy. Hearing our favorite band on the 'net made our evening.

Timtron plays Crack the Sky

This is a true Conceptual Continuity moment. It is very rare when my musical tastes and my hobby intersect so perfectly. I just finished posting pictures we took at Crack The Sky's recent performance at the Thunder Dome in Baltimore on November 23.

And, on the Radio Timtron Worldwide show this afteroon, Timtron played Crack The Sky's "Ice" (0158 UTC on Sunday, December 29, 2002), on 7415 KHz shortwave worldwide via WBCQ.

Timtron's weekly radio show is by far our favorite. There's always something cool to listen to. If we ever chose to make our own radio show, it would be very close to Tim's both in spirit and in content. He is the best.
