@ Tom Tiddler, RE Doll Parts cassette: Neither -- 'twas given to me by a friend of the band five or so years ago. Good cassette-only releases are very tough to find in thrift stores -- though it has happened.
  12:15pm

must say my favourite ever cassette was Cressida - Asylum that I found in Blackpool UK in about 1987. I played it to death and reminded me of Love's Forever Changes!

@tonyc: Well, at least you haven't had the time to crash and burn figuratively in your career.

well drug overdose (or its equalavent) such as Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison etc is more rock and roll than airplane crash ?

was reading Croce's wikipedia page just now and see that he was briefly a DJ, like so many musicians. I would love to see a comprehensive list of famous people that used to be DJs.

kat330:

Ricardo, looks like you've found yourself a new project. :)
  12:54pm
Ricardo Montalban:

Yeah. I've been wanting to do that for a long time, but I'm kinda sucky at research.
  12:56pm
kat330:

OK, so it wasn't Croce on the road. Hmmm, who was it that was killed by something falling from truck in front that came through the windshield? Ever since I heard that story, I'm always nervous being behind a badly secured truckload (which so many are around the Louisville area).
  12:59pm
Michael:

Harry Chapin died on the LIE - maybe that's what you're thinking of.

I'l help you get started Rich:
- Lou Reed had a free-jazz show on Syracuse University's station. They threw him off.
- BB King got his name from his Memphis show: Blues Boy King
- Henry Rollins is currently in KCRW in LA, and Steve "Pistols" Jones is on KROQ, both refugees from the late Indie 103 (which also featured a Rob Zombie show)
- Kurtis Blow had on an old-school rap show

I remember in Michael Weldon's (also a DJ!) wonderful magazine Psychotronic Video, he'd publish lists like musicians that were boxers before becoming musicians, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have a DJ list.

Oh, I guess Alice Cooper doesn't qualify, as he became a DJ way after he was already famous -- like Bob Dylan. You're not interested in that arc, Rich?
  1:12pm

Yeah, Sly was.

Ricardo Montalban:

I'm only interested in people who were radio DJs before they were famous. Not sure why.
  1:14pm
kat330:

I performed radio theater with a Boston DJ (also together in the Boston Shakespeare Co.) who wound up married to Judith Light. Guess being a DJ leads to all sorts of arts careers.
  1:16pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I have a friend from Boston who's really into radio theatre. He isn't famous, but should be. Or at least infamous.
  1:16pm
Michael:

I wasn't here yet but Peter Wolf was a DJ in Boston before Geils hit.
  1:17pm
Ricardo Montalban:

Yes, that's right, he was!
  1:17pm
kat330:

Still doing it? Robert (Bob) Desiderio was the DJ / actor I'm talking about -- his "Hour of the Wolf" on WCOZ back in '76-'77.
  1:18pm
kat330:

[I meant your friend, Rich, not Peter Wolf]
  1:20pm
Ricardo Montalban:

I should as my friend. I'll bet he heard of him. He was a college DJ in Boston (not sure what school/station), he's also got a ton of reviews on AMG, back when they used to pay people to write reviews. His name is Rolf Sembrebon.
  1:21pm

WOAH! This Hellers is sure weird for the time/label. TOo cool!

What Ricardo said.

I had no idea, Tony.
  1:23pm
Ricardo Montalban:

The voice on this sounds almost like Frank Oz.
  1:23pm

@Rich: No, what I meant was is your friend still doing radio theater. (Maybe I need to uncross my legs. ;)
  1:25pm
Ricardo Montalban:

@Kat: Yes, he is. Really pretty crazy stuff. Usually very topical, quickly written and recorded and very, extremely scatological.
  1:28pm
kat330:

We did radio plays on Bob's show. Sartre's "No Exit" and Bradbury's "Dandelion Wine" come first to mind. I Loved Boston. Such a wonderful place for the arts, and probably remains so.

Any unit that makes sound, is a band to me. Two of my friends that made analogue Techno 5+ years ago use always use the term band when they played. I suppose you can various definitions of constitutes a band.

Don't think so -- the whole thing is the theme for the Brit show "K-9 & Co." ... a Doctor Who spin-off, I believe.

  1:51pm
Tom Tiddler:

never saw K9, although Tom Baker was my favourite Dr Who and the pseudo gothic Pyramids of Mars and Talons of Phang Rock probably my favourite episodes
  1:51pm
Ike:

Some of the Doctor Who soundtrack music of that early 80s era is really interesting and full of awesome synth sounds. I recommend the "Meglos" and "Full Circle" soundtracks if you can find them. Some similarities to the K-9 & Co. theme, but more ethereal, and obviously without the insane K-9 vocals!

We, of course, got the glow-in-the-dark NJ map in our mouse swag last December. Must have been a cartographer in a past life.

I've actually never seen a single episode of Doctor Who -- I'm sure I'm way overdue.
Avatar 1:54pm

@ Michael Pollak: Tako (sometime Taco) was an amazing '80s band from Japan. Titles are only given in Japanese -- hence "track 8"
  1:55pm
Ike:

LOL Tom, that's "Horror of Fang Rock"... a great episode indeed! I love how they seemingly made an evil shapeshifting alien out of a huge blob of plastic wrap with green light shining on it, and it actually came out looking pretty damn creepy. Great use of an extremely limited budget.
  1:57pm
Tom Tiddler:

was that the potato head alien, its so long since I have seen them?
  1:57pm
northguineahills:

I saw my first episode of Dr. Who last Christmas at my parents' house, since they have full cable. I've been watching on and off ever since. However, I've heard most of the various Dr. Who themes since its inception.
  1:58pm
Ike:

@Tony, you might like some of the early Tom Baker episodes of the 70s -- try "Ark in Space" and witness the BEST use of green bubble wrap EVER. Sci-fi on ~£4000 per 25-minute episode! But the soundtrack music didn't get really interesting (to me) until the 80s, when the show's writing slowly got increasingly nihilistic, cynical, and sometimes way too self-referential.
  2:00pm
kat330:

I only saw the Tom Baker Dr. Who. In that aforementioned Boston period AAMOF. On WGBH public station. Without cable, haven't seen any of the successors. Yet.
  2:00pm

@ Ike: I have 5 or 6 Doctor Who episodes lying around here on VHS, picked up in thrift stores -- some are Tom Baker-era. Will watch 'em soon...
  2:01pm
kat330:

Warped Ones describe this trio indeed.
  2:02pm
Ike:

@Tom, yeah, Blake's 7 is interesting. And no, the potato-headed warriors are the Sontarans. The current Dr. Who revival featured a hilarious Sontaran nurse in 2011. "You'll be up and around in no time. And perhaps one day you and I shall meet on the field of battle and I will destroy you for the glory of the Sontaran Empire."

@Tom: We bought the Blake's Seven series, watched and liked it. Also bought Sapphire and Steel, but still not finished with that. I'm not much of a fan of it.
  2:04pm
Ike:

I just saw the first Sapphire and Steel six-part serial -- it's so creepy! What an awesomely weird show! I liked it, but the end of the serial didn't live up to the beginning.

@Ike: Have to say, S&S has gotta be the most thrifty set and costume budget of about any program. Very slow pace. Sometimes I'm OK with that, but, well, it just never gripped me.

This Mick Ness track sort of reminds me of Amos -- of Amos & Sara and the Homosexuals -- a good thing fer sure....
  2:08pm
Tom Tiddler:

Ike,
must say the S&S episodes with the airman with a burnt face, and the one with the guy with no face are very disturbing indeed!

@Tonyc: Gee, I'd like to give Mr. Drummer Some another perfect segue for promoting his show tonight. Any clue as to his theme this time? :)
Avatar 2:10pm
tonyc:

Lima beans, perhaps? Or maybe Mormon surfer dudes -- I'm not sure.
  2:12pm
Tom Tiddler:

Ike,
which episode of Dr Who is it that the Doctor picks up up his assistant on a wild plant growing planet.
Also I always thought the Pyramids of Mars was ripped from Bram Stoker's Jewel of the Seven Stars, saying that though I also think Stargate was a rip off of Pyramids of Mars!
  2:12pm

Take-out Tacos or Heller's Bells maybe?

Ricardo Montalban:

I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me paint the shed my well is in into a trompe l'oeil Tardis. It's just the right proportion. It's also visible from the road, so maybe that's her beef with it.
  2:14pm
kat330:

Stargate and Dune and Star Wars all borrowed heavily from the source: Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter" (which we recently saw).
  2:16pm
Ike:

@tom, maybe you mean "Face of Evil," where he meets Leela, the awesome warrior woman? Best companion ever. And yes, "Pyramids of Mars" is one of the best, with obvious homages.

I was so impressed that much of the current revival gets the spirit of the show correct. Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant. and Matt Smith were/are great Doctors. No more green bubble wrap though.
  2:16pm
northguineahills:

That would be hilarious, Ricardo!
  2:17pm
kat330:

@Rich: It sounds really cool, but if it might bring unwanted gawkers, then I understand your wife's POV.

Tony, I'm beggin' ya man, please post these Damian & The Criterion tracks on the FMU blog pleez! This stuff is NUTS.

I kind of like the John Carter novels, even if they are ridiculous. Burroughs was really good at action scenes -- not always easy in print.
Avatar 2:19pm
tonyc:

Hey Conrad! Maybe I will, indeed, after my holiday from blogging is over....
  2:19pm
northguineahills:

I kind of like John Carter novels as well, oddly enough.

@tonyc: Philo's the ERB fan. But whenever I asked if a device or alien in the film was direct from the books, and he indicated they were, then I noticed how much our current SF creators owe to his incredible imagination.

Sten Hanson recorded a great electronic album called "The John Carter Song Book," the cover of which looks like really lurid fantasy art.

Tony - have you read Michael Moorcock Elric series, wow they have some of the best action I have ever read in print!

@ Tom Tiddler: Nope, haven't read Moorcock. I only know of him via the Hawkwind connection.

Los Paranos, on now, later evolved into Klimperei.

Ike,
as far as assitants go, my all time favourite has to be the Brigadier with Jon Pertwee's early 70s Doctor. So British, elitist, a complete snob!

Just noticed hanging in our office is probably my favorite NatGeo map. It's of Mars, all the craters and named landmarks.

Ah, just looked and found Doug's theme for tonight's GTDS: 80th birthday bash for Melvin Van Peebles. Gee, thought perhaps Doug would do a sequel to last week's Lovers of Arabia about apartment hunting on the Arabian Peninsula, calling it Low Rents of Arabia.
