We're headed to Camp Elliott in 1943 for a wartime broadcast of The Bob Burns Show, also known as The Arkansas Traveler. This episode has a little bit of everything: Bob Burns' down-home humor, a sketch about military training, and a real treat for Spike Jones fans performing the rarely heard "Zip Your Lip and Save a Ship," a song that was never commercially recorded. You'll also hear the kind of sponsor messages that instantly transport you back to the 1940s, complete with musical commercials for Lifebuoy Soap. As John Tefteller explains, this recording survived thanks to a thrift store discovery on original transcription discs.

Nach der Pfingstpause sind Till & Henning zurück - und im Doku-Wahn! Henning hat die „Beastie Boys Story" von Spike Jones aufgewühlt und ihn daran erinnert, dass hinter jeder Band Menschen mit denselben Zweifeln und Voraussetzungen stehen wie wir alle, egal ob in Brooklyn, Münster oder Hamm. Till erzählt, wie ihn die Rolling Stones einst zu Sonny Rollins und zum Jazz führten, warum Bob Dylan 1984 bei David Letterman mit einer Punkband „Jokerman" rausrotzte - und weshalb ihn ein todkranker Schauspieler in David Lynchs „The Straight Story" zu Tränen rührt, der nur unter einer Bedingung mitspielen wollte: Keine Schimpfwörter! Über Suchende, Klickmomente und den Mut zur Überzeugung – persönlich, emotional und voller Liebe zur Musik.

In this episode of High Theory, Kim talks to Ben Mangrum about Generic. A curious term that denotes both the conventions and rules of genre, and the impersonal or nameless quality of things like generic drugs or generic devices; the generic structures many of our cultural codes. Ben uses both senses to talk about the history of computing. He tells us about the surprising role the genre of comedy has played in our interactions with computers. Ben suggested that we reference Spike Jones's 2010 short film I'm Here as an example of computational comedy. In the episode Ben references Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg's Modern Romance (Penguin Books 2016), a book of comedy and social critique about online dating, as well as classics like Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express (Collins Crime Club 1934), William Gibson's Neuromancer (Ace Books 1984), and the film You've Got Mail (1998). He also talks about David Schumway's writing on screwball comedies, “Screwball Comedies: Constructing Romance, Mystifying Marriage” in Cinema Journal 30 no. 4 (Summer 1991): 7-23, doi: 0.2307/1224884, and Lauren Berlant's on genre, “Genre Flailing” in Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 no. 2 (2018). If you want to learn more, check out Ben's book, The Comedy of Computation: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obsolescence (Stanford 2025). In this cultural history of the computer, Ben shows that comedy has been central to how we've made sense of the technology's sweeping effects on public life and private experience. From the first Broadway play to include a computer in the 1950s to popular films and joke-telling digital assistants, many have used comedy to make the computer seem ordinary. Others have tried to stage the assimilation of computers within corporate life as a kind of comic drama. Mangrum describes these and many other ways in which comedy and computation have come together as a new genre of experience: the comedy of computation. Ben Mangrum works as an Associate Professor of Literature at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research examines topics ranging from the environmental humanities to twentieth-century “world literature” and the history of ideas and media underlying contemporary methods in the digital humanities. His first book, Land of Tomorrow: Postwar Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, was published in 2019 by Oxford University Press.

The renowned bandleader was famous for his comedic, satirical spoofs of popular songs and classical music, punctuated with absurd sound effects, with his group, Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
We've decided to "class up" the joint today with some fine classical music. Well, not exactly -- our laughs this time out come from accomplished composer, conductor, and musician Peter Schickele -- better known to comedy fans as PDQ Bach. Peter was a musical prodigy who attended both Swarthmore College and Julliard and who started his career as a songwriter and film composer. Just for fun, Peter started a series of humorous concerts, taking on the persona of PDQ Bach -- the youngest and oddest son of the famed composer. PDQ shows and albums drew inspiration from Spike Jones, using oddball instruments and sound effects to punctuate well known classical numbers. Later in life, Peter started a well-regarded public radio program (The Schickele Mix), but he also kept releasing PDQ material -- winning four consecutive Grammy awards in the 1990s. As always, find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more PDQ Bach? Who doesn't like the"bunny hop" song? Well, maybe PDQ after his effort to supply a little percussion to the song. https://youtu.be/KzPtPoTgvNM?si=OM41uX5ZiW3nE0ST PDQ Bach was known for playing shall we say "unusual instruments" and he was a favorite of the Smothers Brothers. Put the two together and you have this clip from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. https://youtu.be/cZu3iaEPMA4? Peter Schickele noted that his PDQ incarnation was heavily influened by musical comedy madman Spike Jones and the pedigree shows in this clip -- a version of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony -- narrated as if it were a sporting event. https://youtu.be/WR4CdKSeD-E?si=DwYiFs0mkHE7qHok

Today we're going back to October 4, 1943, for one of the wildest and weirdest comedy programs ever to hit the airwaves, It Pays to Be Ignorant. Hosted by Tom Howard and featuring his panel of so-called “experts,” Harry McNaughton, Lulu McConnell, and George Shelton, the show turns the idea of a quiz show upside down, serving up ridiculous questions, nonsensical answers, and nonstop vaudeville-style banter. You'll also hear authentic 1940s flavor with wartime bond announcements and classic Peele's Beer ads, plus a musical interlude from the Korn Kobblers, a novelty band in the spirit of Spike Jones and His City Slickers. The perfect ending to a half hour of vintage radio nonsense.

12 years ago, in 2013, Spike Jones released the motion picture, Her, staring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlet Johansson. And overnight, the idea of digital women as romantic companions was everywhere. Her was followed rapidly by a slate of other pop culture media exploring the pheonomen, like Westworld, Ex Machina and BladeRunner. The trope was very […]
durée : 02:16:42 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - Dans les années 50, Spike Jones et ses City Slickers dynamitent les tubes de la musique classique en les jouant de façon outrée, bruitages incongrus et onomatopées à l'appui. Une caricature musicale plus sophistiquée qu'il n'y paraît, qui a beaucoup inspiré Gotlib, par exemple. - réalisation : Emily Vallat - invités : Marcel Gotlib Dessinateur
The “Novelty” song has deep roots in popular culture. Masters of the form, like Weird Al Yankovic, Warren Zevon, Tom Lehrer, Spike Jones, and Allen Sherman have illuminated our consciousness and tickled our sense of the absurd. How much WAS that doggie in the window?…., WTF is Marzy dotes and dozy dotes about?…, They're coming to take me away, Haha…(that one actually scared me). Probably each of us can recall from childhood some goofy ditty that either made you feel smarter, or got stuck inside your head like RFK's brain worm. Let's give thanks to Doctor Demento for archiving and disseminating many of these gems for future generations, and my introduction to Larry Groce's Junk Food Junkie came from one of his collections. Jerry Blavat's One More Time, Back to School may not demonstrate the same amount of cleverness, but its delivered lustily by one of the premier DJs of his time. LARRY GROCEJunk Food Junkie comes from 1975, and is perfectly in key with today's anti-woke sentiments. But, Mr. Groce delivers his mockery with such gentleness and good humor that it creates a universal warmth devoid of malice. Yes, he intimates, you can try to be upright and health conscientious, but the reptilian brain in all of us needs to be satisfied - even if it has to happen under cover of darkness. Hypocrisy is the target here, and Mr. Groce, cast as the titular shlemiel, puts himself first in line for ridicule. JERRY BLAVATJerry Blavat's “Horatio Alger” story reads like a Martin Scorsese screenplay. His colorful bio, recounting his journey from son of a Philly bookmaker, valet to Don Rickles, mob-connected DJ and club owner, to broadcasting Hall of Fame icon, could be the stuff of a Netflix series. Known as “the Big Boss with the Hot Sauce,” and “the Geater with the Heater,” Jerry swaggered through his bigger than life life like a toreador. But, lest we forget - it was always his love of those Philadelphian musical goodies - that made him a beloved home town super hero. 1965's One More Time Back to School, on the Cameo Parkway label, is an fascinating glimpse into his inexhaustible energy. It's delightfully sadistic as the singer declares the end of vacation time fun. Not only that, there is something in the edgy cacophony of its production, with the clanging cowbells, that evokes that end of summer feeling.

In this episode of the Broadway Drumming 101 podcast, legendary drummer Cubby O'Brien shares a memorable story about subbing out of his first Broadway show and an unexpected encounter with Nathan Lane. When a stage manager informed Cubby that Nathan Lane wanted to see him in his dressing room, Cubby was slightly surprised. After finding his way upstairs, Nathan greeted him with a joking, "You can never leave again," followed by laughter and reassurance that everything was fine after a few nights of adjustment.Cubby explores the real challenge of subbing as a drummer on Broadway. He explains how Nathan Lane got used to his playing style and how every drummer strikes the drum differently; even the slightest variation can be noticeable. Cubby calls it a “thankless job,” where subs must maintain the established feel of the show while replicating the chairholder's unique sound as closely as possible.Throughout the episode, Cubby offers insights from his extensive experience with shows like Hair, The Producers, and The Carpenters' Tour. He underscores the importance of adaptability, consistency, and precision for subs trying to blend seamlessly.

In this episode of Broadway Drumming 101, I had the chance to talk with one of the most respected drummers in the business, Cubby O'Brien. We chatted about the process of picking subs for Broadway gigs—a topic that's critical for anyone looking to make it in the scene. Cubby breaks down what he looks for in a sub: dependability, solid playing, and being an established player in New York. He shouts out legends like Ray Marchica and Larry Lelli, both of whom he trusted to step into the drum chair without a second thought. Cubby talks about how it's not just about finding someone who can play the part—it's about finding someone who gets the job done under pressure.Broadway Drumming 101 is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha interviews photographer Todd Hido about his latest book, "The End Sends Advance Warning," published by Nazraeli Press. They explore how the book defies its title, focusing instead on themes of hope and beauty. Additionally, they discuss the creation of Todd's recent survey show at Casemore Gallery, which is the most extensive presentation of his work to date. Despite being a returning guest, Todd shares fresh insights about his mentors and his deep passion for photography, and he announces a new book towards the end of the episode. http://www.toddhido.com | https://www.nazraeli.com/complete-catalogue/the-end-sends-advance-warning | https://casemoregallery.com/exhibitions/56-todd-hido-some-polar-expiation-an-enormous-cat-a-complete/overview/ Todd Hido (born in Kent, Ohio, 1968) wanders endlessly, taking lengthy road trips in search of imagery that connects with his own memories. Through his unique landscape process and signature color palette, Hido alludes to the quiet and mysterious side of suburban America—where uniform communities provide for a stable façade—implying the instability that often lies behind the walls. His photographs are in over 50 private and public collections around the world, including the Getty, Whitney Museum of American Art, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Pier 24 Photography holds the archive of all of his published works. Hido has published more than a dozen books, including the award-winning monographs House Hunting(2001) and Excerpts from Silver Meadows (2013). His Aperture titles include Todd Hido on Landscapes, Interiors, and the Nude (2014) and Intimate Distance: Twenty-Five Years of Photographs (2016). He returned to the cinematic landscape photography that he first explored with Roaming (2003) with Bright Black World(2018), and followed it up with The End Sends Advance Warning (2024). Hido is also an avid photobook collector, and in the last 30 years has created a notable collection of over 8,500 titles. His work has influenced multiple Hollywood productions, such as Spike Jones's Her, Sam Levinson's Euphoria, Issa López's True Detective: Night Country, and the upcoming directorial project by Jason Momoa, Chief of War. He is also one of the subjects of Momoa's documentary project on creative makers, On The Roam. This podcast is sponsored by picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom. https://phtsdr.com
Who needs a rockin new year's party when you have the Three Whisky Happy Hour in peak form, dishing out on the top stories of 2023, and, in the spirit of the late financial analyst Byron Wein, offering a range of potential low-probability surprises (rather than firm predictions) for 2024.What's the difference between a prediction and a surprise? Well think about it this way: who would have predicted, at year end 2022, that right now our favorite Democratic Senator would be . . . John Fetterman? Black swans everywhere are saying, "I did NOT see that coming!"But before getting started with your 2024 Bingo card we take note of the dumbest controversy of the week, which is seeing some conservatives upset at the "Conservative Dad's Real Women of America" 2024 calendar, which features fetching photos of leading conservative heroines such as Riley Gaines in fetching outfits. Along the way we learn that somewhere in a box in her garage, Lucretia has some modeling photos from her time doing the Jane Fonda workout back in the 1980s, and so we're committing ourselves to producing a 3WHH calendar at some point. And speaking of attractive women in unattractive poses, Nikki Haley got her second strike this week (her first being the blunder several weeks ago of proposing to ban anonymous accounts on social media) when she completely flubbed the "planted" question about the cause of the Civil War. We deplore her Kamala-esque answer and attempts a cleaning it up, but are relieved that at least she didn't say "tariffs." And as befits any fast-moving party conversation, we take surprising digressions, such as a detour into the legacy of Edward Tufte, who reminds us that Stalin had the greatest Power Point presentations ("no one has bullet points like Stalin's bullet points!") and also the single greatest chart of all time.Eventually we get down to business with our picks for Story of the Year for 2023 (hint: Steve says "party like it's 1954!"), and our surprises for 2024. Get your Bingo cards ready. And also enjoy our exit bumper music this week from Spike Jones. Happy new year!
