Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill part 36

Hello there!

Not strictly a theme this week, although most of the song selection was based on iTunes Genius suggestions. There is a fried food motif that creeps in, though...

Ken Plume runs the pop culture website asitecalledfred.com, and Dana Snyder is an actor who is probably best known as the voice of Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They do the Ken P.D. Snydecast together, and it often turns into a discussion of food. Or Disney. Or Disney food. I edited a couple of episodes until they were just lists of foods, I think it turned out great.

Connie Price & The Keystones

Some of the sounds under the fried food were parts of the Cellutron & The Invisibles track from last week. It's like a 15-minute long track, there are a lot of useful parts. Other stuff I used included beats from DJ Q-Bert & Madvillain, and a track from instrumental band Connie Price & The Keystones. Fun!

MF Doom is the villain of Madvillain. He does not appear on the track.

I started iTunes Genius with my favorite Mountain Goats track, Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton. The stuff it recommended seems like mostly indie rock from the late 90s/mid-2000s.

Destroyer, who I guess is one guy & a bunch of fountains?

I like the Destroyer track it suggested, but I ended up just looping the flute intro and putting it under Stop Podcasting Yourself discussing avocados. Man, I love avocados.

Morgan Brayton also likes avocados.

The cover of the Slint album "Spiderland"

The Slint track was on the soundtrack for the 1995 movie Kids which I had on cassette. I remember it sounding best on my shitty car stereo speakers, driving around with the windows down.

Jonathan Richman is so great. New England is his greatest song, except for all of his other songs. They're all great songs.

 (It's A) Departure is from the album Putting The Days To Bed by John Roderick & the Long Winters. It's the theme song for one of my favorite podcasts, My Brother, My Brother, And Me.

I couldn't resist putting a second Mountain Goats song at the end, a Thin Lizzy cover that takes an odd turn in the middle.

I don't know where this menu is from, but it's pretty old judging from the prices

I'm cutting this short to start working on next week's show, which will be an Exotic Special, as I'll be out of town doing some Tiki stuff for my wife's birthday.

Please leave a comment or reply to this wherever you read it (blog, email, etc.)!

Until next week, enjoy!
