Monsters From the Id!
In the campy movie, Forbidden Planet, monster movies evolved from an external evil attacking humans to an evil within humans attacking humans. MONSTERS FROM THE ID could be as scary as giant spiders, creatures from the black lagoon, Frankenstein or Dracula.
Monsters from the id are songs about the monster in YOU! From songs about dream lovers to fighting fantasies (plenty of Batman songs here). Look through the song list and e-mail me with your suggestions for other songs from the id. We'll play 'em if we got 'em. Here is tonight's musical story:
Chapter One - Forbidden Planet - Monsters From the Id
Chapter Two - Moaning From the Id
Chapter Three - Dream Lover
Chapter Four - Kids Fighting
Chapter Five - Adults Fighting

Bill Cosby
Mojo Workout
Partyknuller zum tanzen 2
wfmu.org
Bill just gave his talk at the Essence Festival last month about getting your id under control. He uses a race perspective to match his message to his audience but his message is the timeless and universal wisdom of a guy who credits success to keeping your id under control. I hear you Bill and I'm trying.
Contrast the video link to Cosby voicing over a cover of Uptight, Outta Sight. On Mojo Workout he showed some talent.

Street busker who's voice actually grew on me although moaning might be too grand of a description for Larry's singing. The documentaries I've seen paint a sad picture.

After a 42 year break from singing here are The Novas performing this same goofy song as they are inducted into the MN Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So why did they abandon such an obviously successful career in mid-St. Paul bar tour?

Reverend Billy C. Wirtz
Grandma Versus the Crusher
Songs of Faith and Inflamation
The Crusher talking about his favorite topic, himself. My favorite Crusher interviews are when he talks about how the women love him.

New England Whalers Hockey Fight
New England Whalers Victory March
Yep, as part of the Whaler's promotion, they put out this vinyl version of a broadcasted Whaler's fight. The video is of the WHA playoffs. After looking at this kind of promotional material, it is kind of obvious that two hockey leagues wouldn't work.

Eddie Giles
Losing Boy
Sweet Soul Music
Taken from a companion cd released with Peter Guralnick's book, Sweet Soul Music. (I wrote Peter a fan letter after reading this book). I believe the link is to the same Eddie Giles who hiding in plain sight as a preacher in Shreveport, LA and program director KOKA am. The music today is nothing like "Losing Boy." I gotta do a theme on all the Obama music, there is also a Mighty Sparrow song but all these songs try lyricize policy positions and they are difficult listening.

Danny and the Dreamers
Ask The Lonely
West Side Soul
There is a huge trove of Chicano Soul that, like the population that created it, remains barely visible to America. Danny and The Dreamers are one of those groups.
