Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

"Are you 'trained'?"
"Let's just say: 'highly.'"

1976, same year as Shannon. Bit of a stretch, but I think I'm reaching the end of the road for this thread.

From:

I'm guessing the fact that we don't hear anything about Ark I indicates that the first crew wasn't quite as highly-trained.
Mon. 4/7/08 11:13pm
From:

well, Ark I's crew was only one guy.
Unless you count the animals.

Yeah, Noah landed Ark I on top of a mountain. Lousy seamanship.

I prefer "Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince," but then I'm more of a child of the '80s, I guess.

Ohhh, the jet packs! I'd been trying to remember what show from my childhood had those weird people flying around in the desert with jet packs. It was ark ii!

the most amazing thing is, according to the DVD commentary, that is a *real* jetpack! But it only stayed up for 20 seconds at a time... they shot 3 or 4 segments of a stuntman flying it, then used those same shots throughout the series.

All RIGHT! I loved "Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince"! Thanks for the memory, Ike. No way to go wrong with Benji in space.
Mon. 4/7/08 11:32pm
From:

That explains why the image is so burned into my memory. (Downloading series now!)
Mon. 4/7/08 11:37pm
From:

You're welcome Amanda -- but did Benji ever actually go into space on the show? I thought it pretty much all took place on Earth. But then I barely remember anything from that show.

Come to think of it, I guess they didn't go to space. Benji was the terrestrial ambassador for the alien prince (whose name I don't remember) and Zax, who was a robot that I remember looking like Crow from MST3K (but I could be wrong about that too). I'm mixspelling my TV memories.

thanks flatd. I guess this topic isn't really resonating with the audience at the moment.
Randy, thanks for the NCAA update - personally I'm a baseball-only guy.

1. Thanks, Evan!!!!!! She broke my heart and stole my best guitar, but this makes it all better.
2.When "Get Your Freak On" was popular, I had a friend who liked to sing "Get Your Coat On" to the tune of "Get Your Freak On" while she was putting on her coat.

Amanda are you familiar with the Satanic Porno Cult Shops' cover of "Get Your Freak On"
Tue. 4/8/08 12:15am

Might have been nice to have Satanic Porno Cult Shop blasting out of every car in the neighborhood.

Amanda, "Get Your Coat On" is awesome, Glad you enjoyed hearing "1x 2x Devastated."

I do believe that's a different version than was on the comp. Yay. I went on a giant record store binge last weekend and looked for the Stems, actually, but didn't find.

Actually me too, but 14 yrs in Tar Heel and Blue Devil land takes its toll...

i'm surprised they even showed the game in NC after UNC lost!

I guess as a consolation, at least the team that beat them is the one that won. So they must have been good...

Are you remembering Syd Straw? After those last 2 songs, I am.
Tue. 4/8/08 1:06am

I had actually forgotten about her cover of "Think Too Hard." They should have grandfathered that in to that comp.
Tue. 4/8/08 1:17am

Bowie/Lodger... That's a forgotten gem. This makes up for playing REM earlier. Now *THAT* is a great band performance.
Tue. 4/8/08 1:25am

glad you enjoyed hearing that Bowie track, Droll. Something for everyone, that's my motto here on the Evan "Funk" Davies show.

Just listened to the archive so there is no point in doing this but that Hunchbacks song was very good. I will be getting the LP

1. Curt Boettcher (sp?) was an active light-pop-psych producer and musician in LA, sort of a minor-league Brian Wilson. Most famous for his work with The Association. Also recorded with groups like the Millennium and Sagittarius, worth checking out if you're into that sort of stuff.
2. Please please please forgive me for mentioning a name that I am about to bring up. But before "Ark II" the TV series, there was an album called "Ark II" by a Brit group called Flaming Youth," whose drummer was Phil Collins, pre-Genesis. I'm pretty sure I have a copy of it on the shelves in my musty basement, I'll have to dig it out and listen to it some day.
3. Good show last night (just listening to it tonight.) That DM3 song just jumps out of the speakers. Good stuff.
