Back in 1979, I made the decision to accept Dr Demento as my personal savior. Since then, with the help of his apostles Spike, Al, Stan and Black-Eyed Susan Brown, I have made it my mission to spread the Gospel of the Firesign and the Word of the Waller. Please join me and my fellow seekers as we find the Wisdom we crave and the Rapture we deserve. A new sermon every Tuesday (and NO collection plate!).
Also available as an MP3 podcast.
More info at our Podcast Central page.

OLD SAILOR'S XMAS
|
Jimmy is from Rockland, ME, where I hope to make my home soon. His website: http://www.realmainemusic.com/ |
| Billy Fellows |
12 DAYS OF XMAS
|
He's been around for ages, but for some reason I've never heard of him. His bio page: http://billyfellows.com/BillyFellows/Bio.html And he has an extensive discography: http://billyfellows.com/BillyFellows/Billy_Fellows_Discography.html |
| Michael Lynch |
THAT'S WHAT XMAS IS ALL ABOUT
|
Another one I'd never heard of. Apparently I'm not alone, because I could not find him anywhere on the Interweb. |
Music behind DJ: Los Straightjackets |
GROOVY OLD ST NICOLAS
|
The next set is from stuff I've gotten over the years from Fred Argenziano, a long-time listener and friend of WFMU whom I've been trading Xmas stuff with since the 90s. I couldn't contact him in time for the pod post, so I'm making an educated guess when I say he's the former drummer for the band Ed Gein's Car. He lives in brooklyn with his lovely wife Lynn and I think this is him on YouTube (on drums): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkxT_fP4Fkg Thanks Fred, and if you're out there, please get in touch at kbcradio@yahoo.com (that goes for the rest of you, too). |

HOLY SHIT IT'S XMAS

XMAS NIGHT IN HARLEM
|
The next set comes to us courtesy of Mark Rosen, of New Paltz, NY. Mark has sent me well over 100 CDs of high quality Xmas stuff in the 10 years or so that I've known him. He's a retired schoolteacher and lives an otherwise peaceful life. But on Xmas Eve, he does a five-hour show on WPDH in Poughkeepsie (which, unfortunatly, is not archived). Check this out: http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20101224/COLUMNISTS11/12240304/Christmas-Eve-rocks-on-WPDH It is no exaggeration to say that I owe a lot of my continued obsession with Holiday Hilarity to Mark, since he sends me 43 pounds of it every year. Mark, I'm forever in your debt and I'll get you if it's the last thing I do. You can contact him at Mark45rpm@aol.com. Tell him KBC sent you. |
| Girl Trouble |
SIGUE SIGUE XMAS
|
A serious mashup. Here's a Wiki about Girl Trouble: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Trouble_(band) And here's more than you could possibly want to know about those other guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigue_Sigue_Sputnik |
| Cheap Trick |
XMAS XMAS
|
A Fan Club release for both of their fans. Here's a YouTube of their other Xmas song (which features a particularly disturbing group photo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAEWxUwGxR8 Here's their website: http://www.cheaptrick.com/ Truth is they're one of my all-time favorite bands and it's hard to believe they've been at it for over 35 years and all mainstrem radio can find of theirs to play is "Surrender" and "I Want You to Plotz Me". |
