We've reached our goal!

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:06pm kirk from beer city usa:

gimmee peppo!

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:09pm common:

i too could use some peppo.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:10pm Sean D. Daily:

Two years later, Mickey Mouse was turning tricks as a male prostitute and robbing convenience stores to support his Peppo habit.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:14pm rrg:

Full comic story at the link at the bottom. The commentary sounds vaguely disapproving--though, to be fair, we could characterize the commentor as more puzzled than disapproving.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:18pm rrg:

This is a killer first set, I must say.

Is that the modern word the kids use for "excellent"? I know that it keeps changing and it's hard for me to keep up.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:19pm Dominick:

chock-a-lit

Wed. 11/13/13 3:19pm Droll:

This Monsoon album is 30 years old, but sounds like it was recorded tomorrow... but one never knows.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:22pm Sean D. Daily:

Meanwhile, Bugs Bunny was dressing up like a woman to fool Elmer Fudd, and Jerry was hitting Tom in the face with a cast iron frying pan. Which, incidentally, is why I preferred Warner Brothers and MGM over Disney.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:26pm common:

i'm with you, sean.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:26pm Laura L:

The kids--what do they know--that was a peppo first set from Irwin.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:27pm rrg:

You don't have to choose. We have both.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:30pm rrg:

Okay, I meant three. We have all three.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:36pm Droll:

Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:36pm rrg:

My library research tells me that "Big in Japan" features not only Dragonette but also "Idoling!!!" (with the three exclamation points), "a Japanese female idol group created by Fuji TV."

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:39pm rrg:

Don't let him fool you. The studio phone number still works.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:45pm Irwin:

COMMENT #17!

Wed. 11/13/13 3:45pm spodiodi:

Blinkin comments make me feel like I'm on Teh Peppo...

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:48pm rrg:

If I time this right, it will be comment #19.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:49pm rrg:

But that was your plan, wasn't it? Push a button and see what happens.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:49pm Alison Porchnik:

One of my favorite Flaming Fire songs! And so timely.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:53pm Alison Porchnik:

This is the only reasonable and legitimate way Sugar Sugar should ever be broadcast in civilized society.

Wed. 11/13/13 3:53pm Droll:

Curious, the spell check in this comments box recognizes Irwin, Erwin, Irvin, and Ervin, but not Erwyn, Irwyn, Irvyn, or Ervyn.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:54pm rrg:

What about Irving?

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 3:55pm Roberto:

Pissed off Bob = happy Roberto

Wed. 11/13/13 3:59pm Mike K:

Is it just me or is this the best show ever.....or close to it? Can't wait for Joe Frank. I remember that episode.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:02pm Carmichael:

God, I just got here from Kenzo's mindwarp. Give me about 2 weeks to straighten out.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:05pm paula pc:

this is a really really funny one...or tragic, depending on who ya are

Wed. 11/13/13 4:09pm Sean D. Daily:

So Joe COULD break up with his disorganized, unfaithful, annoying, impossible-to-please girlfriend, but he can't because he needs material for this week's show.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:10pm spodiodi:

Bitches, man... bitches.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:17pm Robert:

I don't think that comic strip was as naive as the archivist at Erowid seems to have thought. First there's criticism of the medical monopoly; 2nd there's the insinuation that Big Pharma serves as mouthpiece for the GOP.

The new synthetic product is posed as the good drug, as opposed to the bad drug, "hash".

Wed. 11/13/13 4:19pm Robert:

On top of that, a satire of the upcoming regimes of Africa, so easily put in thrall of charlatans who keep the black man down.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:21pm Robert:

More seriously, though, the newly popular synthetic uppers & downers were the object of a lot of mild satire at the time, of which this seems to be an example.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

The thing about Joe Frank, if you like him, it doesn't even seem matter what he's saying. It sounds good.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:26pm spodiodi:

I'd like to hear him read the phone book.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Carmichael: Sorry I didn't build in a detox / welcome-back-to reality segment.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:27pm Carmichael:

It's OK, Kenzo. I found the rewind x4 button. It's a button, not a knob.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:33pm Mike K:

Irwin, do you have the one where he sings this?

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:34pm Irwin:

I don't, but easily found. I think that's the well-known version. Love Chet's singing, rarely play him tho.

Wed. 11/13/13 4:36pm Mike K:

Then play him you must. This is especially beautiful the way he sings it and his trumpet playing is exquisite.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- I been listenin' & it beeen real good...

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:47pm Stanley:

Clicky star for 'Other Stars'

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I mean - JoeFrank, ChetBaker, Wooden Sjips in a row - *&* Mickey's pupils pinned...it's the Happiest Place in the World...

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:49pm Carmichael:

I was just thinking about how long it's been since I've heard Wooden Shjips. Nice Vulcan mind meld, Irwin.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...your Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo has more songs than mine does - if no fewer words...

Wed. 11/13/13 4:55pm Droll:

I misread Irving's comment as "Love Cher's singing". Yes, please continue to play her rarely. Except for Two the Hard Way by Allman and Woman, which has comedic value.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:58pm jmd:

This is great, thanks. Beattie really has a way with big, low drums.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- he *is* however enamored of Cher's trumpet-playing..until the tragic day she fell a great distance off of Greg Allman...

Wed. 11/13/13 4:59pm Droll:

Apparently the Beattie album was Kickstarter funded:
...an epic surreal musical audio drama, a low tech extravaganza whose story is told complete with tunes, dialogue, sound effects and incidental music, packaged inside a beautiful 31 page fully illustrated book, not unlike the old Disney gatefold Buena Vista records.

I'd love to see that book!

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:00pm PMD:

Nice segue into 7SD - kickstarter and all

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:12pm Carmichael:

Here we go. You're hitting your stride now, Irwin old chum.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:12pm spodiodi:

Batmang

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:12pm northguineahills:

Wind Chimes!

Wed. 11/13/13 5:13pm Dominick:

!!!!!!!!!!

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:14pm Carmichael:

Now, if you'd just play some Jim Steinman, it all comes round again.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:20pm Dominick:

Agreed - Smiley
Andy's opinion validates

Wed. 11/13/13 5:21pm Dr. Joe:

Good Vibrations! best Beach Boys song ever

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- my argument has always been that people appreciating Skip Spence & Syd Barrett - but thinking 'Smiley Smile' is wrong - never added up for me.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:25pm jmd:

Sol Mogerman? Where have you been all my stardust?! Terrific!

Wed. 11/13/13 5:26pm Droll:

It's got a good beat and I can dance to it. I give Sol Mogeman a 26. I really like the short-form, how he dispenses with the repetition that characterizes other songwriting schools.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:27pm Carmichael:

What the hell kind of crazy talk is that, Rabbit?!? You oughta hit 'em in the head with a 2x4, just to shake their brains up.

And the best BB song ever is I Can Hear Music.

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:28pm northguineahills:

I agree w/ the last 6 comments....

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:28pm jmd:

I think JF was jealous of Sol's simultaneous finger-picking and percussion stylings.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:28pm Fredericks:

Saw Eugene Chadbourne this weekend. Mogerman is giving me a flashback.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:30pm spodiodi:

I agree w ngh

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:34pm Carmichael:

Wow, never heard of Headband. Here: www.sergent.com.au...

Wed. 11/13/13 5:37pm Droll:

Carm, "His own Bluesbreakers was an unusual line-up, including an electric violin, but no drums." You can hardly blame the guy for trying to keep those jokers out of his band.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:38pm Green Mountain Man Mark:

what fuck go on here?!

Wed. 11/13/13 5:40pm spodiodi:

A celebration of The American Way of Life :)

Wed. 11/13/13 5:41pm dc pat:

May I just but in here to say that Sol Mogerman is the best thing ever? Thanks...

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:43pm Carmichael:

Good, because I want to go on a far-out journey!

Wed. 11/13/13 5:47pm dc pat:

"butt"

Wed. 11/13/13 5:47pm Green Mountain Man Mark:

"ass"

Wed. 11/13/13 5:48pm Fredericks:

Banjo loop making me think of Chadbourne, again!

Wed. 11/13/13 5:50pm Fredericks:

I'm obsessed.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:50pm dc pat:

One more butt, please

Wed. 11/13/13 5:52pm dc pat:

Saw Chadbourne...MAN about 20 years ago and he KILLED

Wed. 11/13/13 5:57pm Droll:

dcp, So he's almost ready for parole?

Groovin' to the space-age vibes (pun intended).

♥ Wed. 11/13/13 5:57pm Carmichael:

Was Mr. Ho the guy who taught Napoleon Dynamite how to dance?

Wed. 11/13/13 5:57pm Green Mountain Man Mark:

Isn't it warped that in the U.S. a fanny is a butt. But in the UK a fanny is 180 degrees around.

Wed. 11/13/13 5:59pm spodiodi:

irwin ftw

Wed. 11/13/13 6:00pm Fredericks:

Only about 97 degrees to by calculation, GMMM.
