Tom Lehrer taught mathematics at MIT, I did not know that.
12:19pm
Van in DC:
@Matt - still settling in but the move is over :)
12:19pm
Matt from Springfield:
21 Dodge models in 3 series! ... All of which will be obsolete by this September.
12:20pm
listener james from westwood:
and he wrote tunes for seasme street. the "silent e" song, for instance.
12:21pm
kat330:
@Van: You moved again?! Your first one was about where I joined this here commenting community, and that wasn't that many months ago. Maybe you're taking your first name too literally?
12:22pm
listener james from westwood:
well this is a well-timed show tune. and the answer is of course, poker's more important. at least i know how much each lie's gonna cost me.
12:23pm
Matt from Springfield:
Good ol' Tom Lehrer, big mathematician/and educational song writer.
I have a quote of his on my desk:
"Eating an orange / While making love / Makes for bizarre enj- / -oyment thereof." :)
12:23pm
Van in DC:
@kat330 - ha, good one :) Yes, that first move was a big one, from Dallas to DC. This one last week was just a few miles, to a much bigger & nicer apt. :)
Aw MAN! :(
But, if Citizen Kafka did those, I oughta check to see if there are Archives available for him!
12:37pm
northguineahills:
Wait, wait. How come I don't have this Albert Ayler record (or even heard of it.)
12:38pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Secret Museum of the Air with Citizen Kafka and Pat Conte"? Is that the one? There are some RealAudio Archives of that.
12:39pm
Webhamster Henry:
@Doug - that's right - I was at some of those!
@Matt - those would have been on Kafka's WBAI show, but some of that material has resurfaced on the now annual Kakfa tribute shows that Irene hosts. If you haven't heard the Kafka qua Kafka, you are in for a treat!

joe:
Wasn't Silent E for the Electic Company? Not being a nit picker just been question my memory alot lately.
12:40pm
Brian in UK:
£27m opening ceremony. I confess to having trouble with that number. Lionel Messi's left knee.
We went to Kafka Museum when we was in Prague recently. His nickname was 'Chuckles'. Just kidding.
Kafka and Conte moved their Secret Museum of the Air over to WFMU from WBAI for a while. R.I.P. Citizen K.
12:44pm
Brian in UK:
joe move to a single storey dwelling then you will never have to worry what you come upstairs for?
12:45pm
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks Henry! Have to keep that on my WFMU radar, sounds great!
12:45pm
kat330:
@joe: I hear you. I get weary of fact-checking on the interwebs everything I want to say. I'm resorting to just adding "IIRC" to everything I type and let others supply corrections. :)
12:47pm
kat330:
Brian, the dangling comment for you whilst you were a-walkin the dog was WRT the Sugar Man link you left on the other side. Kermode gave it a big thumbs up.
12:47pm
Van in DC:
Olympics - just saw something about the British being the only ones with A/C in their dorms. Wow.
12:47pm
joe:
@kat330 I like that :) I may have to adopt that.
12:48pm
Webhamster Henry:
Tom Lehrer, and now Stan Freberg. Both still alive!
12:48pm
Matt from Springfield:
HOMOGENIZED milk?! Getting a little big for our britches, aren't we housewives?!
@Henry: That is correct! Also didn't know Stan had his own radio show. This is great!
12:51pm
trish:
But, uh, -- aren't they all staying in British dorms?
12:53pm
northguineahills:
When the high in London is 75F/24C and the low is 54F/12C, you don't need A/C
12:54pm
kat330:
Did everyone's volume just get a boost?
12:55pm
kat330:
Heard they passed out 120,000+ condoms, so someone's expecting some heat in the dorms.
12:55pm
joe:
It's a shame G Love gets lumped in to be classified with some pretty bad music as I think he and the Special Sauce are a great group. They were wonderful when I finally got to see them a few years back.
12:56pm
kat330:
This one gets played a lot locally, Joe.
12:56pm
Brian in UK:
Two turntables & a microphone
12:58pm
northguineahills:
I saw G Love and Spe.cial Sauce open for the Violent Femmes in 1994.
Oh, I saw Beck in the Catskills July 2, in Deleware County, NY during a private party/fireworks extravaganza w/ about 600 people. He was just hanging out.
12:58pm
Van in DC:
Well, thanks Doug & Steinski! Enjoy the weekend everybody - I'm gonna walk across the street to the National Mall and look for that concert Steinski mentioned happening at the Monument :)
12:58pm
joe:
That's cool. I know in my area Cold Beverages has become one of those defacto bar b q drinking songs although most of the folks who sing along could not tell you who it is. :)
12:58pm
Brian in UK:
Looking forward the Steinski DVD.
12:59pm
kat330:
Good eve and g'day to youse all! Have a fine weekend, too. Till the next time....
Did Don Knotts just say, "Gefilte, the wonder fish" ??
1:02pm
joe:
@ Thanks Doug
1:02pm
listener james from westwood:
@joe: you are indeed correct; that was from electric co. at least one other song, too. gotta stop working and listening at the same time.
1:02pm
kat330:
My name Jose Jimenez...
1:03pm
kat330:
Thanks, Doug!

listener james from westwood:
aaagh, a client call lost me about 20 min of the show. will hit the archives. loved what i heard, doug!
don knotts would know from fish, he having been the incredible mister limpet and all.
1:03pm
joe:
@Listener James my advice just stop working period it will weigh much better on your soul in the long run. :)
1:04pm
Van in DC:
ha ha, funny stuff. And I'm gonna merge Linens & Things with Bed, Bath, & Beyond and call it Things from Beyond

It's a good bet that that was an homage to Kafka. Steinski used to host record-collector salons at which Kafka was a regular attendee.
Wait a minute...You were at those salons, too, no?!
Matt from Springfield:
Doug Schulkind:
I'm pretty sure last-ever, too.

But, if Citizen Kafka did those, I oughta check to see if there are Archives available for him!
