Was this song mentioned in your "David Bowie Made Me Gay" book, Darryl?

I live perpetually in a bit of a time warp, so the date makes complete sense. :)

Arcesia is a favorite. Really nice vinyl reissue from Guerssen a couple of years ago. This is one of, if not, my fav cut on the album. Thanks for playing Darryl!

It was written by a guy called Leslie Sarony (IIRC) who wrote a number of famous comic songs

I was thinking this had a Mute records sound, and sho 'nuff. Very Fad Gadget. If Fad Gadget ever did a crap kid's show.

worldsworstrecords:

Indeed
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:16pm
Rich in Washington:

It DID have that English, early Mute-ish sound. You are spot on. For a split second, I thought it was Gerry and the Holograms.
Avatar 2:17pm

haha! Gerry ATH are coming up in a future show. Andy Partridge of XTC suggested I play it

That was great! Gotta add Donna Kramer to the list of proto-punk pioneers. Velvets, Stooges, Dolls, Donna Kramer ...
Avatar 2:20pm
Mr Fab:

Yeesh, i actually had this song in my head a week or 2 ago as Li'l Fab was watching a Munsters marathon (that's my girl!).
Avatar 2:20pm
worldsworstrecords:

I love that Donna Kramer disc... very hard to find but well worth seeking out
Avatar 2:27pm
Mr Fab:

I have some Tammy Faye records found in charity shops. But never actually LISTENED to them! It's all about those ghastly covers...
Avatar 2:28pm
worldsworstrecords:

She was awful... so histrionic
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:28pm
Rich in Washington:

Tammy. Lots of people get her mixed up with Jan Crouch here in the US. Like Tammy, Crouch was known for copious amounts of face makeup and crazy hair.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh my god! This is so irritaining! Absolutely perfectly putrific!
Avatar 2:30pm
worldsworstrecords:

did Jan Crouch sing? Should I check her out?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm
Rich in Washington:

I think I find the Sour Cream stuff so appealing because the fake Tijuana Brass thing was everywhere during my childhood.
Avatar 2:31pm
Mr Fab:

Speaking of bad xian records, I found of copy of that burnt-up-face guy's record a few months ago at a thrift. Almost as scary as a televangelist wife.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm
Rich in Washington:

I don't know if she sang as much as she gave these over-the-top monologues. She was batshit crazy. I used to watch PTL shows and she was very obviously drunk or on drugs. On subsequent episodes,they'd sort of shuffle her to the back of the crowd. Sadly, she's now with Tammy Faye. In hell, of course.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:34pm
Rich in Washington:

That's Merrill Womach. I will probably play some of his stuff on future shows. His records are really easy to find where I live, since his business was in the Pacific Northwest.
Avatar 2:35pm
worldsworstrecords:

That stuff isn't easy to find over here in the UK
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:36pm
Rich in Washington:

He and Little Marcy are both from the PNW. It's pretty easy to find Marcy records. My friend Toby interviewed her years ago and I'm trying to get the tape from him so I can digitize it and restore it. He transcribed it and it ran in Cool and Strange Music many, many years ago.
Avatar 2:37pm
worldsworstrecords:

god, I love Little Marcy
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:37pm
Rich in Washington:

I should grab them when I find them. I stopped because I have many of them. Marcy records are somewhat amusing, but with the exception of one Womach record, the recordings are relatively normal, trivial, even. It's the covers that are really, shall we say, stunning.
Avatar 2:38pm
worldsworstrecords:

Marcy Tigne'rs first 45, on Angelus records, features her singing like Little Marcy but without the doll credited
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:38pm
Otis Fodder:

I remember that article well, still have the C&SM issue here. When I lived in Seattle, I had a good 20 Little Marcy albums, kept finding them in thrifts. Where I also found her Trombone LP.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm
Rich in Washington:

The Merrill record that's kind of interesting, sonically speaking, is the one Merrill in Quartet, where he's singing with himself. It's really hokey. He doesn't sing any songs explicitly about being on fire or anything.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm
Rich in Washington:

I wish I had that issue. They're going for a song, now.
Avatar 2:40pm
Mr Fab:

There were that many Little Marcy records?! I've seen a couple lately but didn't buy 'em. They kind of creep me out, heh heh...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:41pm
Otis Fodder:

Still have my collection of all issues from when working with Dana on the mag (and the radio show). I still refer back to the mag from time to time for research, amazing publication.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:42pm
Rich in Washington:

Tons and tons. Her discography is somewhat muddled due to people entering her records under variations on her name on Discogs but perhaps the anoraks have sorted it out now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:42pm
Otis Fodder:

I believe, at least I remember, there being close to 30 Marcy LPs on Word, Singcord, etc.
Avatar 2:42pm
worldsworstrecords:

I've got what I believe is her only UK album
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:43pm
Otis Fodder:

I purged all my Marcy LPs (and the 4 Jim & Tammy records with Susie & Allie) years ago. They were all left in Seattle when I moved in 2004.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:43pm
Otis Fodder:

The only Tigner LP I keep on the shelf is Trombone. It's lovely.
Avatar 2:44pm
Mr Fab:

"He doesn't sing any songs explicitly about being on fire or anything." So Merrill Womach never covered "I'm On Fire"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh. Purges are painful. I purged a bunch of Marcy and other crazy xtain records about ten years ago and really miss some of them. It's like phantom record syndrom. I go to look for something and realize I'd gotten rid of it during my last fit of insanity purge instinct. Never again!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
Otis Fodder:

Ha, he should of! I used to find those as well, like Rich said, the pacific northwest is riddled with Merrill in thrifts.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
Rich in Washington:

Merrill ran a service which made music for the funeral industry. It still exists.
Avatar 2:46pm
worldsworstrecords:

I've had the same issue Rich.. desperately looking for discs I got shot of years ago
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:47pm
Rich in Washington:

I stupidly passed on the Marcy Tigner album a year or so ago because it was completely split and held together with masking tape and when I went back after I came to my senses, it was gone.
Avatar 2:48pm
Mr Fab:

Merrill could have done a concept album, stuff like "Burnin Love," "Feelin Hot Hot Hot," "Light my Fire." All right, I'll stop now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:49pm
Otis Fodder:

I moved so many times and each time purged to what could fit in the vehicle at the time. Nobody wanted my Marcy collection in Seattle in 2004. I ended up donating them to Goodwill so someone else could get lucky or... go crazy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:50pm
Rich in Washington:

This show really lives up to its title, Darryl! Week after week - and I mean that in the best possible way!

Totally agree. Fills the WFMU gap of where Incorrect Music left off.

I friend requested Barrett Hansen a few days ago. I'm not holding my breath, but Weird Al follows me on Instagram, so who knows?

We will have much more going on Wednesdays here at Jungle Room soon. Two, count 'em TWO big shows coming soon to a Hump Day near you.

he probably will, but his FB page is now being run by someone else. He's a sweetheart, but his wife died earlier this year and he's taken a bit of a back seat on social media since then
