CRAGG Live from September 2nd, 2023The Verne Langdon ShowJoin us this week for a hybrid show between our "retro media shows" and our original show format from Live 365 where we did in depth audio documentaries on various subjects. We take a look back at musician, make-up artist and Don Post Studios mask maker extraordinaire (and just one of the most interesting monster kids ever!) Verne Langdon! This "Verne Langdon Show" includes FOUR HOURS of rare gems including our sit-down interview with Verne Langdon himself, music by Verne Langdon, treats from Verne's friends including Kay Starr, Korla Pandit, and Mae West, and so much more! You will even hear from one of Verne's alter egos, Johann Sebastian Bork!  Verne was our friend and we encourage you to join us in celebrating his life and career!Listen to the show HERE.What is CRAGG Live Anyways?!  The flagship radio show of Cult Radio A-Go-Go!'s, CRAGG Live is a lively 2-3 hour talk radio show hosted by Terry and Tiffany DuFoe LIVE from an old abandoned Drive-In Movie theater with Wicked Kitty, Fritz, Imhotep and Hermey the studio cats and CRAGG The Gargoyle.

As we wind down our three-part-series that peals back the layers of Dylan Mulvaney, Alissa Hierscheide, Jobriath, Bud Light and more, we get down to the basement and the cult of Baphomet and how people are being chemically, medically and socially engineered to be recreated in the image of a fallen god.

Watch it now, watch it! We're talking about quatro versions of "Wooly Bully" this week, but we have to go back to 1962 to listen to the origins of the insanity, namely the tune "Hully Gully, Now" by Big Bo & the Arrows (1:11).  The bass is incredible. The organ is incredible. The vocals  (by Little Smitty)... will leave you incredulous! Words can't capture the wildness of this wooly antecedent, but the dirty job falls to us and we get our hands and ears dirty. In 1965, Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs stepped up to defend the USA from bug music and they did this by adapting Big Bo's tune, adding some Tex-Mex flavour to it, and retitling it "Wooly Bully" (25:53) .  This song is one of the pillars of garage greatness, and it's great from the get-go (meaning the revolutionary 'count-in'). The chorus is an incantation and the drums are chasmic.  The lyrics are discussed, and connections to Korla Pandit and Lord Buckley are suggested. Textbook! Contempo versions by The Fabulous Echoes (from Hong Kong!!) (1:13:24) and Denmark's Defenders (1:39:38) get the ITP: GRP treatment as well!

Welcome back wayward wanderers! This episode we discuss Florence Foster Jenkins and musician Korla Pandit.

The legendary Muffs bass player, along with singer/guitarist Kim Shattuck and drummer Roy McDonald, blasted out their infectious, melodic brand of punk rock from 1990 until Kim’s passing in 2019. Cresting at the top of the Indie rock wave, they counted the Ramones, Elvis Costello, and Ronnie Spector among their fans and picked up a platinum record for their hit recording of “Kids In America.” With the reissue of 2004’s “Really Really Happy” along with Kim’s demos for that record soon to be released, Ronnie finds kindred spirits in the Troubled Men as they gather for a meeting of the minds. Topics include a camera ticket, the Iguanas/Kevin Gordon tour, a middle seat, RIP Kevin O’Day, 911 calls, dropping the masks, a record store, meeting Alex Chilton, the Pandoras in Houston, moving to L.A., starting a new band, the Coconut Teaser, a punk rock teacher, backup dancers, the ’90s sound, Green Day, Korla Pandit, the Plaster Casters, a new release, Kim’s legacy, Willie Aron, Susan Cowsill, rock’n’roll college, a New Orleans connection, “Pam and Tommy,” Tony Rugolo, guest relapses, and much more.

This week's episode is all about shapeshifting. We go all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia to learn where shapeshifting originated. We talk about the epic of Gilgamesh and the first angry shapeshifting goddess, Ishtar.  After we cover ancient shapeshifters, we focus more on the modern versions.  There's werewolves and the lesser known, werehyenas. Werehyenas are a staple of Africa and have some surprising connections to the Jewish population in Ethiopia. But no podcast could be complete without a Harry Potter reference. We talk about the animagus featured within it and whether Rita Skeeter would thrive at the National Enquirer. Our last story is one of a real life shapeshifter. His name was Korla Pandit and he was a piano prodigy. He took Hollywood by storm, had his own show and even counted Errol Flynn as a friend. But he had a secret that could cost him everything. Join us!Social media links:Follow us on Twitter and Instagram:https://twitter.com/MythsMovieshttps://instagram.com/mythsinmoviesSources:https://www.austinfilm.org/2020/10/watch-this-the-narcotic-exotica-of-tvs-mysterious-korla-pandit/https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-a-black-man-from-missouri-passed-as-an-indian-pop-starhttps://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/evolving-forms-intriguing-look-shapeshifting-003491Monstrum Kaplan, S., & Rosen, C.

Remembering Korla Pandit and revealing his secrets. Korla Pandit, the amazing musician who played entrancing exotic music as he silently stared into the television camera with his mesmerizing gaze was not what you were led to believe. Korla had a secret and if it was found out, he would have lost his career and quite possibly his family. Even after his death, his own children and grandchildren were hard pressed to believe the truth behind his deep, dark secret. He is known as the God Father of Exotica music and was a trail blazer in more ways than one. The film covers the arc of Korla's career, from having his own music show on television in the 1950's to years later where he developed a cult following playing tiki bars and lounges. The secret of his true identity, he carried to his grave and was revealed only after his death in 1998. We are thrilled to have on the Mid-Modcast John Turner and Eric Christensen the creators of the Korla Movie.

The musical world of Korla Pandit, the original Godfather of Exotica with John Turner, the creator of the new film "Korla". John talks about Korla's music, his effects on the public and his hidden secret.

It’s hard to imagine a world without televisions. Today, TVs are not just ubiquitous, they’re everywhere. But in the 1940s, television was an expensive, new gadget that very few households owned. When the World Series was televised for the first time in 1947, only 44,000 TV sets were in use in the entire U.S. In 1948, only ten percent of Americans had ever even seen a television program. The only thing more scarce than TV sets was TV programming. Radio had been widely adopted for decades, with over 40 million sets in use in the late 1940s. So, the majority of talent and advertising money was still going into radio. In addition, television was so new that no one had really figured out what to do on TV yet. In just a few years, skyrocketing viewership would cause radio hits like Dragnet and Jack Benny to move to television. But in its infancy, many early TV shows weren’t much more than radio with a picture. The traditional radio music program was adapted to TV by simply showing the musicians playing their instruments. That was a TV show. And, it was pretty amazing stuff by 1940s standards. A music show that premiered during those pioneering days of television was Korla Pandit’s Adventures In Music. It was broadcast out of KTLA in Los Angeles beginning in February 1949 and had more of a hook than your average music program. Pandit was Indian musical prodigy born in New Delhi. He played exotic themes on a Hammond organ or a piano (sometimes playing both instruments at once). As he played, the turban-clad musician gazed wistfully, directly into the camera. His only communication with the viewer was through his transe-like stare and what he called “the universal language of music.” He never spoke on the show. What at first glance seems like a simple music program became something wildly exotic and otherworldly. Pandit’s organ arrangements were accompanied by dark lighting, slow camera moves and close-ups of his eyes. The resulting show was all at once hypnotic, noir, exotic and surreal. He performed Adventures In Music live on the air, five days a week. Over 900 episodes were aired, but only a few survive to this day. Pandit’s show aired during TV’s boom years and he became wildly popular. In 1951, he played a two-hour concert at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and was called back for three encores. A version of the show was syndicated to independent TV stations nationwide and he became a huge hit. He became friends with eastern religious figures and released dozens of albums. His music laid a foundation the exotica genre, made famous in the 1950s by musicians like Les Baxter, Martin Denny and Yma Sumac. But what seemed wild in the uptight days of 1948 was considered laughably tame by the freaky-deaky standards of 1968. Pandit and other exotica musicians fell out of favor. Korla Pandit’s celebrity faded, but he worked as a musician and a music teacher, and continued releasing albums through 1971. He reclaimed some of his fame during the exotica / lounge revival of the 1990s, but passed away shortly after. Director John Turner has just finished a feature documentary about Pandit’s life called Korla. The documentary doesn’t just tell the lost story of a TV pioneer or an Indian musician. It also tells a story that turns out to be uniquely American. And it’s based on a secret that Pandit kept hidden even from his own family. It’s a secret that wasn’t discovered until years after his death. Korla – Trailer from Appleberry Pictures on Vimeo.

Thank you life, for creating such great obstacles for me to overcome while family members throw shit at me to make it harder. Life gets a free pass but family members can go fuck themselves; here's where I explain what's behind a lot of that in its rawest and mildly tempered form... oh, and God is just another asshole on the pile.
