A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Theres's a similar thing, another canadian, David Pritchard's- Nocturnal Earthworm Stew that came out in the mid 70's that sounded like Wozard of iz... sort of. I wonder if you've heard of it. | |

Hey listener james! I've been having trouble confirming that "fast forward" even existed - more recent tv shows with the same name soak up all the googles. So I'm glad to see you mentioning it. | |

Trouble: "My kid is not hip" man, poor guy he is gonna have to answer for that on the playground | |

Tue. 1/25/11 11:19am
listener james from westwood:
It did indeed. I guess it preceded the wide availability of home taping, so there may not be a lot of examples to have been uploaded to YouTube. But I did watch that, and another science show called "L-5" about a bunch of astronauts on a space station. Music was actually more "Blue Danube" a la "2001" vs. electronic. They discussed Earth and space science, then, in the final ep. they pulled back and showed that the "space station" was in fact a studio set. First time I saw someone break the 4th wall on TV. | |

my daughter has the same problem (talking to peers about music) so now she's rebelling, walks around singing....I don't know what. But then I catch her in her room listening to Ramones, Beatles, Shame 69, Joanna Newsom... | |
