I was at Long Beach Island all weekend, sitting on the beach, reading this, which was OK, and then this, which was better. Although I grew up being exposed to plenty of beach culture (I am from New Jersey, after all...), I have to say that it still weirds me out to some extent. Imagine: an entire lifestyle based wholly on fried foods, waiting in line, and getting sand in your shorts. Amazing. | ||||
We stayed at a little motel way down at the end of the island, which is much more mellow than the places right in the thick of town, although ever since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to see what the inside of Wida's Hotel & Restaurant is like. It's a gargantuan, old-timey hotel right on the main drag that for years has had the same marquee up advertising "The Mike Byrne Show," which seems to attract a lot of old Irish folks. Actually, WFMU uber-listener/volunteer Shannon O. once told me that she'd seen the Mike Byrne show when she was a kid, which impressed me plenty. Maybe next year... | ||||

Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band | A Special Morning | A Special Album | Last night while on my way to meet a friend, I noticed that the oft-heard squealing of the PATH Trains lumbering through the tunnels between Jersey City and Manhattan sounds eerily like the whistling part of this song. | |

Mr. Quintron (w/MC Trachiotomy) | I'm Not Busy | Are You Ready for an Organ Solo? | In the event that you missed it, MC Trachiotomy performed live on my show last year, back when I was holding down the Saturday late-night shift. You can hear the archive of his (STELLAR) performance right here. | * |

Dr. Know | Watch in Burn | 7" | OK, smartypants... Everybody and their mother called or emailed to tell me that the singer of Dr. Know -- whom I had assumed were completely forgotten about -- was more recently a member of the re-activated Dead Kennedys. (Insert comment regarding absurdity of DK reuniting without Jello Biafra here.) I will deduct appropriate number of punk points for this embarrassing error on my part. My sincere apologies. | |

Duh | Transformer | Blowhard | I've always been fascinated by this band for a reason I can't identify. I think it might be the name, or possibly the name of their other album ("The Unholy Handjob") which WFMU, quite tragically, does not have in its record library. | |
Killdozer | Nasty | 7" | It's still funny once every five years. Which means that if I play it again any time before summer of 2008, I will have several words to eat. | |
Look out, your boss is coming. |
