My music oriented website, "The Sludge Puppy Files":
http://www.lakenet.com/~mnmoose/ Haven't updated in a long time. Budget is tight, so not buy much in new music. My list of my 30 "Desert Island Albums" (submissions from others accepted):http://www.lakenet.com/~mnmoose/moosedid.htm The playlists of my final two programs at KUMD-FM. This music was (more or less) the best of collection of my then recent shows. All music is from my own collection:http://www.lakenet.com/~mnmoose/kumd9-01.htm and http://www.lakenet.com/~mnmoose/wagd2.htm The first of the two was done on 9/21/01 - 10 days after that certain day. I used to know what music I liked, but I no longer do,Moose

Somehow I stumbled onto the Moog Cookbook, and now have their first 2 cd's (are there more?). On the first they do their versions of fairly contemporary songs, including "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
On the second, they cover the "classics", including a wonderful "Hotel California". They also turn Boston's "More Than A Feeling" into a cha-cha. In all, wonderful twistings of tunes that deserve some wonderful twistings. I've actually had the "classics" cd sitting on my computer station for quite a while now. One of my little games is to overdub two versions of the same tune, into a new mutant version. Meaning to overdub the Moog's and Dread Zeppelin's versions of "Whole Lotta Love", to see what happens. Ah, Dread Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (and sometime other stuff) turned into reggae, with Elvis as the lead singer. In a just world, it should have been all over the radio. Moose

In my never ending bumblings around wfmu.org, I've discovered.....
21 Variations on "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-haa!" Available as downloadable MP3 files. Also, another shameless plug to some other much beloved by Moose tunes, also found in the wfmu.org archives. To another message in another topic for the links. Moose

Anyone out there fans of this radio program?
While there are some bright moments, my impression is that this program is a great pox on U.S. public music radio. A friend and I refer to it as "Burb Cafe", as in "David Dye lives in a pretty small musical world". High quality elevator and office music for people not really into music. Makes me hate the term "singer/songwriter" more than ever. David once had Taj Mahal on as a guest. Taj (bless his soul) told David that "World Cafe" was "apartheid radio". For real "World Cafe", go to WFMU-FM 91.1/Jersey City, NJ; 90.1/Hudson Valley, NY – We're an independent freeform station broadcasting at 91.1 fm in New York, at 90.1 fm in the Hudson Valley, and with gobs and gobs of online offerings.. Free form - Glorious radio semi-anarchy. Go to http://wfmu.org/listen.m3u?show=19122&archive=27716 (mp3 for broadband, archived for two weeks) or http://wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=19122&archive=27715 (realplayer for the bandwidth impared, archived perminently) for archived version of a Moondog special done earlier today. By the way, dj Irwin is, amongst other things, the producer of the Raymond Scott reissue compilation "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights", featuring the monster tune "Powerhouse". Moose

There are +/-100 cover version mp3's available at
Stairways to Heaven, Stairways to Hell (MP3s) - WFMU's Beware of the Blog See alsoShred Zeppelin - WFMU's Beware of the Blog In all, the WFMU blog is a massive source of oddities, both musical and non-musicical.
WFMU has been called the best radio station in the United States. I'm a believer. See also WFMU - Wikipedia Now, for cover versions in general - I would strongly suspect the most covered tunes are some of the jazz standards. God only knows how many recorded versions there are of such things as Round Midnight and so many other tunes. Moose

"Insane Asylum" is one of Willie Dixon's more obscure compositions. I believe he wrote it for Koko Taylor. Koko recorded it (with Willie also doing some vocals) on one of her Chess label recordings. Diamanda has a studio version on her album "The Singer". Just her singing and playing piano (as is the video version). See also the other DG YouTube video, if you care. I view DG as being for those who find Yoko Ono too tame. A unique artist. Moose ps: Came very close to accidentally starting a new topic.

I should have put this in the first message. I was guided to the video by the WFMU blog: Diamanda Galas NYC shows in August; Interview from the past - WFMU's Beware of the Blog
There is a bio and print interview at the above link, which includes:
quote: Here is her allmusic.com page:
quote: I do have 7 cd's of DG, including (2) 2cd sets. Not something for casual listening. Moose Added by second edit: I've just noted that WFMU has a DG version of Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" available as an MP3. It also is just voice and piano:http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/...amanda_Galas_-_Lonely_Woman.mp3 Edited by Minnemooseus, : Fix typo. Edited by Minnemooseus, : Added MP3 stuff at bottom.

I found this at If Slash or Buckethead Are Out There - WFMU's Beware of the Blog
They found it at Music for Maniacs: July 2007, or so they say. I wasn't exactly able to find it there, but I did track down a link to https://www.youtube.com/user/gunecologist, where it and more are available. I'm inclined to agree with someone at the WFMU blog - It's probably faked. Still pretty good and funny. Starting at Music for Maniacs might be good for finding endless musical amusement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxtgJIQk1Ec Pretty damn amazing. Note how well everything syncs, including the singing. Moose ABE - Found out he did a bunch of these things. To me, it seems the imagery/effects get pretty redundant pretty fast.https://www.youtube.com/@GarrenLazar Edited by Minnemooseus, : ABE
