Hey everybody, I want to do a radio show in the next few weeks comprised of videos, which would be a video stream as well as a radio show. Can you suggest online videos where BOTH the music and the visuals are really great?

I have a degree in Video Production for the Advertising and Music Industries (music videos, basically). This sounds like music to my ears! and eyes! I'll start with the obvious ones, Lemon Jelly - nice weather for ducks www.youtube.com... Aphex Twin - Windowlicker www.youtube.com... there's many brilliant Bjork videos, I prefer Pagan Poetry.

  9:06am Robert:

As to Negativland, their "Drink It Up" (which I 1st heard on your little radio station ~15 yrs. ago) is fair in terms of video and cute in terms of lyrics. Others have made videos to go with their "Christianity Is Stupid", and some of those videos are pretty good, but the original audio is only so-so. So not sure either meet your "really great" criterion, but tastes can differ.

Before the use of modern methods of storing and handling grain, rye would sometimes contain appreciable quantities of lysergic acid compounds, which could turn up in concentrated form in the whiskey, imparting an extra "kick"

What I suspect might be in some distilled spirits is GBL, gamma butyrolactone, which is equivalent in the body to GHB.
Avatar 🚽 Swag For Life Member 10:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

I hope it contains no BGH (bovine growth hormone).
  10:05am Robert:

GBL mixed with water tastes a lot like bourbon. It gives a "high" similar to but in some ways nicer than that from booze. No need to take GHB, which just gives you a totally superfluous shot of sodium with it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:05am Sem Chumbo:

There has been speculation that "St. Vitus Dance" of the Middle Ages might have been as a result of ergot intoxication. Or perhaps it was just too much exposure to "American Pie", at high volume.

The 1st 10 mins. or so of "Mouth Silence" drags a bit, but after that it's got a lot of single-cut equivalents that are stunning. I'm afraid I've already spoiled upthread what "Love Shack" was mashed up with, but if you don't know it, you'll do a spit take after the 1st bar when the music comes in, it's that hilarious.

And told you that you could freely crib from it for your station? Maybe you should write in at the bottom to not shit on people's shows right after they've helped you out. Just a thought.

@Asheville Jon: Really, you shouldn't challenge Ken about the Bohemian Rhapsody show. I you get him riled up he might make a show of American Pie covers. Which would only be enjoyable if there's video of Andy forced to listen to the full thing (tie him, but don't gag him)

I have an aversion to years ending in 7. No idea what that's about. All 1996, I thought 97 is going to be terrible. 97 was terrible. Got a feeling 2017 is going to suck, too.

I kinda like the intro to seven second delay with the woman singing

I'll tell you what sucked, 1993. Couldn't have been worse. although 2003 was fine and 2013 wasn't too shabby either...

If I make chip tune version of the ssd intro, will you annoy Andy with it?
  11:03am ╒▀╒▀ (:

When I worked in a music shop that sold CDs (anyone remember those things called "Compact Discs"?) I had a co-worker that only bought albums based on the last number of the Chinese year. So if it was Monkey Year -say it ended in 8- he would then go on a shopping spree to buy any album made in a year that ended in 8. He didn't mind the genre and thus his salary ended up buying a lot of crap.

@Chris M: not really involved with any station, although i used to do shows on WMUH in allentown pa

By the way, that co-worker of mine I told about sounds and it has the same kind of character/persona as Larry, Ken's hardcore fan/stalker.

When I heat up things in the microwave oven, I always enter the numbers as pairs or triads (?). Like 44, 66 or 222 seconds.

wow Osaka. Weird. So 11 is right out?
Avatar 11:13am Dan B From Upstate:

I leave the tv volume on 29 or 31 because it annoys my SO. Sometimes I leave it on 30, let it fade from the screen, then turn it down 1 notch. I can hear her sigh every time.
Avatar 11:14am Okasa:

@DC Pat - I guess… having an amp that goes to 12 would not be as strange as 11.
Avatar 11:17am herb.nyc:

now for something completely different: did anyone hear WILL SHORTZ on npr this past w'end? 1 question in his game was "companion of KEN". the answer had to be 2 words, first being "ba..." and second as "d...". but all i could think of was ANDY BRECKMAN.
  11:20am ╒▀╒▀ (:

Let's keep talking about numbers, people! It's so much fun! Did I tell you about my fixation with number 9? If you turned it upside down it becomes a 6! Although a fake 6.
Avatar 11:22am herb.nyc:

ok, numbers: i memorized PI to 9 decimal points.

Do I see Exene at the right? I recognize the guy whose hand is on her shoulder, but can't come up with a name.

The short young lady resembles Su Tissue of Suburban Lawns, but I'm guessing this photo is from 1976 or earlier.

OTOH, the Exene-ish woman also looks like Lois Graham, ex of Terry Graham, drummer for The Bags, The Gun Club, et al. But I don't think Lois ever wore her hair that long. (She was a hair stylist, too.)

Anyway, I hope we will still have SSD for another 10 years from now. Andy seemed very strange to me last week show. He had no trouble recalling the 'new' phone number...TWICE! And he even *felt genuinely sorry* for a listener that was put on hold for too long!!! I hope everything is OK between Ken and Andy and SSD hasn't lost its will to live!!!

Andy's certainly not as edgy as he used to be. But it depends on his mood. Some weeks he's ornery and hostile and very funny, other weeks he's mellow and polite, and still pretty funny. I think he still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
