GOOD KING BISCUITLAS LOOKED DOWN, UPON THE FLOWER HOUR...

Behold, the playlist for the 2nd Annual Wow & Flutter Christmas Disrespectacular! (And I'm proud to say, a show which carries on the holiday tradition of getting a single, offended call - not that I'm so bothered, particularly as it was one from a fellow programmer, a woman who seems to think of herself as Coast Community Radio's fucking den mother or something and really should mind her own goddamned fucking business about what's appropriate late-night radio fare and what's not, especially since she used more profanity in her phone call than the track in question, and if it's the political incorrectness factor you're worried about, cookie, bear in mind that sarcastic commentary about Chanukah could be construed as anti-Semitic from a WASP or someone similar but is perfectly fine coming from a member of the Chosen People, not to mention a guy deeply beloved of our oh-so-liberal listenership, y'dig? Ah, yes, all I want for Christmas is some thicker skin...)

OH, STORMY...

And here's the show I did in the aftermath of the worst storm the northern Oregon/southern Washington coast has seen for some time. Nothing out of the ordinary, other than having to do it with a single, generator-run light for illumination, which was fine because it kept me from seeing the giant elm that had fallen mere inches from the KMUN air room and loomed ominously outside the window as I broadcast. And after driving through downtown Astoria late that night, I regretted not having a copy of the Specials' "Ghost Town" with me, though #23 (ooooh) below seemed appropriate on both sides of the em dash. An auspicious way to celebrate my 50th show, eh wot?

SCHNUCK ON THIS, SCHNEEP:

Time to catch up once again on some missed playlist uploads, especially since there's two new shows from me this week...

FEAR NOT, FELLOW HIPSTER-DOOFI:

...once again, the only reason for the appearance of several uncharacteristically, um, uncharacteristic titles in the list below (t'wit, tracks #25-29) is that another person was in the studio with me (an apprentice programmer, obtained through the auspices of Big Brothers/Big Boppers, Inc. for only pennies of payola a day), and I let him program his own set. Not that I really have a problem with any of those songs (in fact, I played the very same Animal Collective number a few months ago), but really, if it were up to me, I'd have played one of Lauryn Hill's psychotic rambleogues from Unplugged 2.0 instead of her hit single. But no worries - I've covered most of the standard stuck-up, insufferable, clogged-nostrilled indie-dork bases elsewhere as per usual...

IN LIGHT OF RECENT CONTROVERSIES...

...regarding people complaining pre-emptively and point-missingly about broadcasting "pornography" on this station, is it mere coincidence that I played a track tonight which sampled pre-orgasmic moans from actual porn? I'll never tell. (No, it's not.)

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy cowsh*t! Someone Moloch the c*cks*cking door!:

Okay, y'know, I'm really starting to get pissed off at a certain other programmer at this station who has made it his mission to upbraid as many of his fellow programmers for letting obscenities past the mic as possible, chiding those of us who play stuff that, admittedly, has the occasional adult content (albeit always - in my case, at least - well within the FCC-designated 10 pm - 6 am "safe harbor" period). This latest finger-wag came after another programmer forwarded a New York Times editorial concerning WBAI's decision not to play a recording of Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" on the occasion of its 50th anniversary (which was actually a couple of years ago, but never mind that) for fear that the FCC would wind up levying one of its ridiculous "obscenity" fines on the station - all for one of the key works of American art of the last half-century, one which has been famously and definitively judged not obscene by the Supreme Court. Of course, Señor Bluenose took that as his cue to scowl (and obliquely threaten) at length at those of us who are (in his words) "addicted to expletives." Well, I thought, fuck you, pal. I'm playing "Howl" tonight - just try and stop me. Only, um, I didn't, exactly. I played the Fugs' "cover" of it instead, wherein the words flash so quickly (and low-fidelitily) by that any "offensive" language in the song is all but inaudible. Chickening out? Not exactly. The recording of "Howl" that I have runs over twenty-one fucking minutes! Hell, that's over a sixth of my show! Freedom of speech is one thing, freedom to keep me from serving up my standard brew of edgy, up-to-the-minute fare and Jesus & Mary Chain b-sides is quite another! But, hey, at least I got the word "cowshit" through a couple of times. Gotta feed my fuckin' Jones somehow.

...several of the tracks listed below may seem a touch out of character and/or redundant in light of what has come before on this program, but that's mainly because I turned over the first half hour of the show (and a bit of the rest) to my new "youth consultant" and temp co-host, Liam (my soon-to-be-nine-year-old son).

U to the S to the A (or up the A as some might have it):

"We just cancelled our membership to your station," the smugly irate caller stated. "Way, way too liberal." This while that known pinko prevert subversive Albert Brooks was playing. Hmf. It almost feels good to be controversial. Then again, I'm in no mood to be the Alan Berg of the oughts. Or the Barry Champlain, for that matter. Much as I'd like to imagine myself as a wild-eyed, stiff-backed crusader for free speech, I must admit the motherfucker scared me off of playing Allen Ginsberg telling America "go fuck yourself with your atom bomb." Yep, Mr. Bravery, that's me. Anyway, here's my July 4th special in summary...

ONE YEAR AND COUNTING, BUT WHO'S COUNTING?:

And now, the playlist for W&F's Six-Month Anniversary of Its Six-Month Anniversary Special Edition. Which, naturally, was hardly special by any accepted definition, other than the fact that the first set of the evening featured the same three artists who comprised the first set of my first evening and that I did the whole thing in the voice of a Walter Cronkite impersonator. Wearing only a [CENSORED BY YOUR INTERNET FILTER]. Which I'm told he does anyway. That's why he was crying when Kennedy died. It was a little snug that day.

...'...:

...bringing us up to date. This show, I think, sounds as good as it reads - bouncing 'twixt genres and styles like a mo-fo (and if you've ever seen a mo-fo bounce, you know exactly what I'm talking about), with some sly (to me, at least) juxtapositions: any music-geek hepcat worth his saline knows why I put #25 and #26 next to each other, and the bizarritude of #34 and #35 is doubled by the fact that they came from the same record. Wow, right?...

Right?...

Goddamn, I'm one boring motherfucker. Oh, well, onward...

P...4:

Okay, so here's what happened here: this was my second four-hour shift in two weeks. I was a little tired. Slightly uninspired. Not quite up to my usual manic cueing and juggling, especially over such a long air-shift. So I found some of the longest songs I could stomach playing (#30 runs over twenty-five minutes; #8 pushes twenty in toto; a couple of over-10:00 tracks more or less bookend the show; a few running over seven sprinkled throughout; etc.), and even went so far as to cannibalize a few of my earliest shows straight offa my air-check discs. Thus did I manage to make it through another Saturday night with a minimum of stress and strain, with no one the wiser, as no one was listening anyway. Yeah. Decent show, though, really.

P2C3:

Okay, this is a little bit better, variety-wise - a nice handful or two of artists never before heard on the show (though some of them, like the Knitters, Sproton Layer/M-3, and Ruben & the Jets, either consist largely of members of typical W&F bands or basically are those bands in pseudonymous disguise). Wha'ev'r.

PAST TO CATCH-UP #2:

Another Saturday night K-No fill-in stint. And other than the two conceptually-threaded sets (6-11 and 45-49, maybe 50 if you want to stretch it), typing this out is really starting to lay bare my utter predictability. This isn't even the first time I've played Yma Sumac, for feck's sake. Nothing much wrong with anything here, but man, expanding my parameters might do me some good...

PAST TO CATCH-UP, PLEASE:

The first in a series of playlists from shows I did (and forgot about) weeks ago. Few surprises with this one, I see - many of the non-unusual suspects lined up throughout, often right next to one another, with only the most minor of variations (ooh, solo Iggy as opposed to the Stooges! Mark E. Smith and Nick Cave side projects! A Minutemen song running over three minutes! An Elvis Costello number recorded after 1980!), so feel free to yawn. That said, I do get into a pleasingly oddball-eclectic zone 'round about track 34, the Legendary Pink Dots repeat from the previous show was either part of an abortive attempt to come up with a closing theme song (see: the Plugz, "Reel Ten," back in the archives somewhere) or just me forgetting I closed the show with it last time, and the second Naked Raygun song was the purely coincidental result of my commonplace grab-any-CD-and-play-a-random-track-and-quick-'cause-there's-only- seven-seconds-left-in-the-song-playing-right-now panic, which occurs at least twice a broadcast, rather than an intentional asymmetrical callback. Whatever that means.

FROM THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT YOU EVERY OTHER POST ON THIS BLOG...

My least insincere thanks to my guest host this evening, Dale Ptarmigan, for so graciously stepping into the breach caused by my temporary suspension from the air. (As you've probably read, I was booted from the program following a public outcry surrounding comments made during my Christmas show, where I allegedly used the word "ho" three times in quick succession. As penance, I've hired Al Sharpton to write mean things on me with a charcoal briquette and stuff me into a bag.)

SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT IF YOU LIKE ANSWERING PHONES:

So, got pulled in, for the second fortnight in a row, as the handpicked replacement for DJ K-No (whose true identity is kind of an open secret around the station, but I guess I can reveal here that said gentleman was a key member of one of the greatest bands of the 1990's. That's right, Sweet 75.) "Interesting" "tidbits" about the show: 1) almost immediately after it began, I got my first irate phone call from what sounded like an older gentleman, deeply offended by the (v. short) Copernicus track early in the set, though I never quite caught whether he was bugged by the track's incorporation of the National Anthem because he thought it was unpatriotic or too patriotic. Or maybe he was a touch too literal-minded, in which case, you may rest easy, sir - I just checked with Wikipedia and the United States does, in fact, exist; 2) I accidentally played a song (#22 below) that let slip the dreaded "f" word over the public airwaves before the FCC's declared post-10 pm "Safe Harbor" time period. Oops. If Coast Community Radio is shortly forced off the air by irate fundamentalists, you know who to blame, baby; 3) DJ K-No had pre-recorded the 10 pm -12 am portion of the show and loaded it onto the KMUN automated system, which was all well and good, except that, somehow, the BBC News feed that usually runs (unheard) on the system at that time was still there too, with the result that both wound up running simultaneously for a full two hours and there was nothing anybody could do about it. I got one more phone call before I fled the station saying, in essence, "Wow - that's one crazy mashup." Anyway:
