Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 35

Hey, folks!

Continuing on with the space invasion theme from last week, this week remember, if the saucer people are destroying the world, it could be a good idea to try and escape by hitching a ride.

Klaatu is the one on the right.

Klaatu is a prog-rock group from Toronto who had a couple of hits in Canada but not much success in the U.S. A lot of their American success is due to a rumor that they were really the Beatles recording under another name. I don't hear it, myself. "Calling Occupants" was covered by the Carpenters in 1977 and became a bigger for them than it ever was for Klaatu.

Not pictured: filter kings, Doritos

Suburban Lawns do another song about psychically contacting aliens. I bet there a lot more of these type of songs. Suburban Lawns were from Long Beach, but they had a practice space a block away from my house.

The Byrds aren't using their psychic abilities I don't think, just regular shouting out to spacemen.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide continues this week. Should I keep going with that? Let me know!

Butch Wilis is a weirdo. Wikipedia calls him "outsider art" and compares him to Roky Erickson.

There are some more space sounds from the ESA Huygens probe, underneath John Hodgman anecdoting about Patti Smith. Effects on everything! I can't leave it alone.

There are a bunch of clips from Hour of Slack #1209, the same X-Day hymns episode I used last week. Some great collage work from Rev. Susie the Floozie. She's the best.

John Cooper Clarke is a "punk poet". That's a thing you could be in the late 70s.


Jean-Jacques Perrey & Harry Breuer close it out with a clip from their 1969 album Happy Moog! I have a bunch of Moog records, they're fun.

Well, that's it for this week. Let me know what you liked by replying to this email, or commenting on the blog.

Enjoy!
