@Fab the drinks SUCK at the Alibi tho :-( Hale Pale here in town is like SUPER GOOD

a tiki bar with bad drinks? Oh, that's just wrong. There's some good spots, but I tend to make my own cocktails, so hard to find anyone who knows what they're doing.

"Gruff is the Super Furry Animals dude yeah?" At first, I thought you were referring to McGruff, the crime dog. After all, he is a super furry animal.

The track "The Love God" on V1 Wakka Chikka is the only reason I sent in for Vol. 2. Excellent production work. Had a home studio ever since.
Avatar 4:48pm
Mr Fab:

Huh, i never knew anyone who liked the Cocteau Twins. Me and my friends used to make fun of them for being so silly and affected. Oh so precious. (Tho we loved Kate Bush, who was at LEAST as fruity, if not more so, heh heh.)

Gaaa I love Eden Ahbez

a bit hard to get into at first due to its rapid pace and constant zingers, etc, but every episode was pretty interesting, even if the movies weren't ones I was particularly gaga over.

Caught that too. Good program. Netflix and Disney+ have my vote.

I remember hearing someone's phone interview with him (or something) several years ago and it was fascinating. What an original.
Avatar 5:01pm
Mr Fab:

In some ways tho, Eden Ahbez and the other Nature Boys were anti-hippie: they were all about health and discipline, so no drugs, booze, loose living, etc.
  5:01pm

So the Exotica - Cool, Strange and Unusual Music Group on Facebook is there to cheer on all "passion projects" ! And Sheena is definitely one! Gotta go, and keep growing! Feel free to always reach out.

We can always just go with Maestro Cugat too!
Avatar 5:40pm
Mr Fab:

I have "Gesundheit" on a comp called The Lavender Jungle, but it's credited to 'Luchese Liebhaber' for some reason. Maybe Cugat was too big a name for a grey-label release, so they released it under a phony name hoping to sneak it thru?

i also have Carlos' "Sonic Seasonings" LP on vinyl - interesting that it's not only pre-Eno ambient music, but I noticed that it actually uses the word 'ambience' in it's liner notes. Wonder if this was all on influence on Brian E., or just coincidence?

For reeeeeeelz Kenzo??? for really reals??

You could also play Rush's "Temples of Syrinx," from 2112, but that might destroy WFMU with opposite energy

@Martinibomb Yes, a very silly peanut butter sample, part of a weird debate between a mother and son about the arguable superiority of organic food. wfmu.org... , come check it out later! One of my top-favorite episodes ever.

Are the "nature boys" all related? Was that one guy's (Jon Lovitz sounding) "nature boy" the first, or was that in reference to a prior nature boy?
Avatar 6:51pm

The Nature Boys were a loosely-affiliated counter-culture group, before the term 'counter-culture' was used. Kerouac mentions them (in On The Road, i think?) They started in Germany (hence, all the DISCIPLINE!)
