What's Wrong With That?

There is an ancient joke that goes:

Q: When did Paul McCartney write "Silly Love Songs?"

A: 1962-Present

My Dad, though, likes to point out they he wrote it in 1976. I'll go on record as saying I dig the song. It is all in the bass line.

Happy red heart day!

A Plea

Please get out of my head "Dream Lover" by Bobby Darin. I am going to have to start charging you rent.

Don't Mess With the Who

It's been a very busy month, hence, no updates. Have no fear, though, plenty has been going on in the Perfectly Lethal Universe.

-We recorded a special round table show for the 50th edition of the Perfectly Lethal Radio Show. It is up now. It was a absolute blast to do, and I would love to do more in the future. Overall, the song choices were top notch, the discussions insightful, and the flow of the show turned out great. My only apologies go to the Who, one of my favorite bands, who got it on the chin a little. Believe me, I've paid for this.

-For show 54, I used a word generator to make the set list. The flow was a little off, and for the last song, I was forced to play a song I haven't listened to in about 15 years. There was also a lot of swearing in the song. I must say, I thought it was one of the better shows we've done!

-A new dog runs the halls of the Perfectly Lethal Studios, so if you hear any barking in the background of the shows, you know it is just our new dog showing approval for any David Cassidy solo songs we may be playing. Strangely, she will not be the first dog to appear on the show.

-The Ruetschle/Nick Kizirnis/Textbook Committee show at Canal St. last weekend was pretty good. Nothing like hearing a set that opens with "Finks."

So that pretty much brings us up to date. I am really looking forward to the new Spoon, Magnetic Fields, and Vampire Weekend albums to get on the show in the near future. Until then, though, enjoy more Murray Head songs.

It's Already Gone

Happy New Year!

Dr. Zoome & the Mad Scientists are celebrating the new year by dropping their second full length album It's Already Gone. The good Doctor is a haunted man. This six song collection continues his quest of exploring the ghosts and demons that exist just below our waking world. It's Already Gone contains the quintessential Zoome experience, the multi-suite "Korkarlen." Weaving through 21 minutes of nightmarish sound scape, Zoome retells the story of the fantastic 1921 Victor Sjostrom silent film of the same name. Multiple listens only begin to reveal the madness that Zoome and his cohorts, Veit Ignatius and Gustaf St. Gabriel, found while attempting to recreate this incredible experience.

Last Fm

I set up a page on Last Fm again. I had one a very long time ago, but I didn't have a consistent Internet connection so I deleted it. Now I do and I was kind of interested in what the charts would tell me about how I've been listening to music. Turns out, they are pretty much the same as the first time around! Here is the link if you are interested:

Festivus!

I've added a cool new Festivus show taped to the station's rotation. I also have a sort of end of year show up and will have an end of decade show posted sometime next week. I may sneak another regular show in before that, but that may be it for this year. I have been a little behind in the production schedule for the station due to the holidays, but I think with these next two shows we should actually be caught up.

We are coming up on our 50th show for the station and I want to do something grand. I've got a couple of ideas, so expect big things for the future of Perfect Lethal.

Captain High

We have a great new show on Perfectly Lethal for you to check out. The esteemed Captain High programmed a great hour for the station this past weekend. The Captain took us on a trip across the globe with some of his favorites from the years 1967-1968. We are big fans here at Perfectly Lethal of his take on music, even when he does take shots at the Bee Gees. To be fair, nothing he said was untrue.

It was a great show and we really look forward to getting him on again in the future.
