We listen to the cassette tape that Groove Collective used to sell at their shows. I got my copy at a Groove Collective concert at Slim’s 333 Club in San Francisco, California in the year 2000. The tape is comprised of performances from late 1996 and early 1997, in Budapest Hungary, Burlington Vermont, and The Blue Note Club in Tokyo, Japan.

Hello aNONradio.net listeners! My show FroggyMe’s Fantastic Fantasy will now be called Funkaliciously Jazztastic Hour. It will still be the exact same show as FFF, except for an intro bumper I made specifically for FJH.
The show will be 2 hours of jazz-funk vinyl, kozmigroov spiritual jazz, jazz-dance punters doing the bug crunch, and acid-jazz posers wearing Duffer’s of St. George. Like me! I literally will be wearing a Duffer’s of St. George sweater I recently got from the UK while doing my show!
Listen Sunday from 1500-1700 UTC, right before SUYF.

whats up anonradio? its ya dj.. zep letting you know i am live today at 20:00 UTC so tune in and drop pit time to some Slayer.
Slayer is a heavy metal band who have been around gor a long time. they do music that is considered highly satanic and is filled with actual true facts corresponding with the signs of ages. its a four man band and they are surley masters of heavy metal some would genre them as speed metal. so okay we are exploring that band today okay?
just to also fill you in on my video action i star a new website illuminushis.com
zepnmoe episode #1 was a truely as stephen michael jones coined as overproduced mush oozing romance and im not quite sure it was a compliment or just an observation.
you see we were piloting a spaceship to planet zeptar of which moe was a part of it. i certaintly made her as much of those 4 or so shows we did together. also i recorded some mini episodes that need to be rescued from commercialland.
you know when barnacle called me after the summer i thought i was over her in life and just getting used to her precence that i feel. to forge my hand against yours would lock solid titanium.
now after moe and the m1-hs was put on high descretion for i have heard the cries of the devil and it saddens me to send all those creatures to the depths of the lake of fire and hell, hopefully a matrix construction rather known as the abyss. Time to think.
In the bleak mid-’70s, a time when horrible songs by Elton John and Captain & Tenniel dominated the airwaves, a mutated form of ’60s pop song persisted in the college radio underground. This mix examines pop themes in the prog rock, dub, punk, and jazz rock subcultures of the ’70s. Some fairly eccentric ’60s songs are also sprinkled in for context. Many of these artists are now considered classic but at the time, only music nerds were listening to them.
Donovan’s “Wear Your Love Like Heaven” kicks off the set, mainly to show how effortlessly it seques into a quite different song, Genesis’ “Trick of the Tail.” “Trick,” coming from a then-arty band known for its portentous, doom-laden catalog, surprises with its catchy vibe and sprightly Brian Wilson-esque vocal harmonies. The doom isn’t completely absent, however, in this concise science fiction fable of a Satyr-like humanoid from a parallel universe who is imprisoned on Earth and jeered at by people who “got no horns and got no tail.” “Love Street,” by The Doors, continues the keyboard pop of the first two songs and also has some odd mystical elements, particularly that “store where the creatures meet,” which causes Jim Morrison to wonder, suggestively, “what they do in there.”
Infectious piano (by Ray Manzarek) drives “Love Street” and the same can be said for Anthony Moore’s ivory-tickling in “Apes in Capes,” a joint Slapp Happy/Henry Cow project. In 1975 Dagmar Krause’s warbling vocals sounded downright strange, and they still do. Another chanteuse from the skewed side of pop, Dorothy Moskowitz of the short-lived ’60s art-rock outfit The United States of America, sings about “Coming Down” from an acid trip. She never “belts it out” a la Grace Slick but maintains an air of beatnik cool as she sings of Reality, which, as we know, “is only temporary.”
A startlingly clear “alternate mix” of The Mothers of Invention’s Freak Out has recently surfaced on the web, yielding tonight’s version of “You’re Probably Wondering Why I’m Here,” sung by Mr. Zappa, alternating vocal chores with the late great Ray Collins. Before Zappa could afford elaborate horn charts he played a kazoo, and this is possibly the most sarcastic use of that instrument ever heard. Next up is a ’60s throwback from 1978, Tina Peel’s “Knocking Down Guardrails.” A friend of mine was the roadie for this band and I fondly recall sitting with him on the stage at Max’s Kansas City one night after all the band’s instruments had been packed up. (I also once visited Tina Peel frontman Rudi Protrudi in his Alphabet City apartment.) The same year, Tuxedomoon released “New Machine,” which didn’t look back to the ’60s but rather forward to the ’80s, with its beatbox, synths, and anguished vocals from Winston Tong. A trace of the former decade can still be heard, however, in Michael Belfer’s unabashedly psychedelic guitar wails.
Next we hear an improbable (but smooth) transition to Curved Air’s “Not Quite the Same,” a song about masturbation sung with impeccable English reserve by Sonja Kristina Linwood, over a tight arrangement of trumpets, trombones, violin and VCS3 synth. Although keyboardist Francis Monkman didn’t write the song (that was Linwood and violinist Darryl Way), a similar eclectic style can be heard in Monkman’s later soundtrack for the film The Long Good Friday. Then, DC art rock band Grits takes us “Back to the Suburbs,” in a Zappa-esque plea for regression to babysitters, bowling alleys, and other markers of a safe childhood in the burbs, after the singer finds it too much of “a strain to be alive and so neurotic.” Infantile regression can also be heard in Zappa’s own “Let Me Take You to the Beach,” expressing a simple desire for a weekend weenie-roast, made to seem ironic only because everything Zappa writes is sarcastic.
Kevin Ayers’ evocation of a romantic Paris sidewalk cafe, “May I?,” complete with accordion and street sounds, nowadays could be instantly summed up with the words “trigger warning.” Nevertheless, Ayers’ perambulating bass and Lol Coxhill’s ethereal sax perhaps succeed in charming us more than the dated come-on in the lyrics. Meanwhile, Can’s Damo Suzuki is having none of it with “Don’t Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone,” a melange of gypsy-caravan ambience and rock jam, propelled by Jaki Liebezeit’s always-seductive drumming. The spirit of collage continues with Lee Perry’s “Doctor on the Go,” a slinky reggae beat layered atop a British sitcom that blares tinnily from a TV monitor (or so it sounds). Then it’s back to the ’60s with Rajput & The Sepoy Mutiny’s amazing, struggling sitar rendition of “Up, Up & Away.” This gem languished in obscurity in the US until its inclusion in Re/Search’s 1993 anthology Incredibly Strange Music, Vol I.
“That’s Ramsey F—ing Lewis, right there,” announced l0de AKA Zak ZYZ on his YouTube radio show, as he listened to “Cry Baby Cry,” an over-the-top lounge-jazz version of John Lennon’s song. “Lounge” then had its avant garde apotheosis 10 years post-Lewis with Gary Wilson’s cult LP You Think You Really Know Me, from whence comes the next tune, “You Were Too Good To Be True,” a winsome, slap-bassed instrumental. Quentin Tarantino already rediscovered the penultimate track, George Baker Selection’s “Little Green Bag,” and used it in the “cool gangsters walking” intro of Reservoir Dogs. And lastly comes The Modern Lovers’ “Old World,” from the period before Jonathan Richman went full-blown twee, included here for the organ work by soon-to-be-Talking-Head Jerry Harrison, as well as the involvement of ’60s-turned-’70s-trailblazer, John Cale, who produced this track.
