Lumpy Weiner Worldwide

Posted at 12:16PM on Saturday, May 3, 2008 in allan weiner worldwide and hf and lumpy gravy radio show and wbcq.
Once again, we took the reigns of Allan Weiner's weekly radio show and morphed it into something rather different that what it normally is. We discussed the Voice of Freedom Radio, some high points on the WBCQ schedule, modulating oscillator circuits, played some Allman Brothers jams featuring "My Favorite Things," and took some phone calls. This happened live on Friday, May 2, 2008 (Saturday 0000 UTC) on WBCQ 7.415, 5.110, and 17.495. Allan and Jennifer are attending the Nearfest in Deerfield, New Hampshire. [213]

Demo madness

Posted at 12:13PM on Saturday, May 3, 2008 in 867-5309 and hf and lumpy gravy radio show and wbcq.
This show happened at 2300 UTC on Friday, May 2, 2008, on WBCQ 7.415, 5.110 and 17.495 MHz, as we sat in for Jennifer on our first Friday night show in a while. Allan called in from the Nearfest, Richie called from Pennsylvania, and a fun time was had by all. Earlier this evening, Brad did a nice 75 minute Grits Radio on Area 51 to warm us up.

I'm not the Captain

Posted at 11:46PM on Sunday, April 27, 2008 in grits and hf and jane in space and lumpy gravy radio show and rni and wbcq.

This one went off about 0136 or so on WBCQ 7.415 MHz, following Brad's first ever RNI Grits Radio Show. This is our first 90 minute show. Except for the intro, we spent no time at all prepping for this. Our live phone patch aircheck to WBCQ was excellent from when Brad went on at 0000 UTC until about 30 minutes into our Lumpy part, when the shortwave signal took a dive and went long. StaticJunkie reported we were being heard in the UK pretty good for the first 2 hours or so. Despite the earlier jamba, and the inability to take live fone calls, this was a lot of fun. We greatly enjoy filling in for John Lightning and RNI.

This setlist is a little bit out of order and is incomplete. I'll get around shortly to cleaning it up. -- Lw

Zappa Head

Posted at 11:36AM on Sunday, March 16, 2008 in area 51 and hf and lumpy gravy radio show and wbcq and zappa.

Back before we did a show for WBCQ, I did a handful of shows for Dr. Becker's FM station in Kiowa that featured Zappa's material. Four years later we've come full circle. Here's a mix that we pushed forth onto the airwaves at 2200 UTC on Saturday, March 15, 2008, on WBCQ 7.415 and 5.110 MHz.

After hours, we discovered that Brad has a better sounding and more complete soundboard recording of the Fillmore West concert where our feature "Call Any Vegetable" originated from. It is one of my all time favorite Zappa shows, and the original "tape that Jane used to use to annoy the neighbors." When we get a copy of Brad's tape we'll post it here for you, and maybe we'll air it on Area 51 someday soon.
