Krewe du Vieux Parade
(Aether Version)

http://www.virb.com/2681578360504589
Next Saturday night the Krewe du Vieux parade will roll through the Marigny and Quarter to kick off the cultural start of Mardi Gras. This is one wacky parade so they were more than willing to join my attempt to create an audio preview of the parade on tonight's show. Keith Twitchell of Krewe du Vieux and I will be in Krewe du Vieux costumes as we play music representing each of the sub-krewes themes.
Gawd, Vegas is giving Keith and I a 50/50 chance of being audio disasters. Here goes....
Some of the material in the audio from this show and video links below may not be suitable for minors. The 2009 parade will also feature adult themes and visuals. "Adult" means the kind of gross humor that 8th-grade boys find hilarious.
Speaking of videos, tonight's links definitely travel a separate but parallel path to the broadcast audio. Video from Krewe du Vieux to Fernwood Tonight and ending up in the strangest place of all; Hasil-land.
Thanks to Keith Twitchell and all the great folks at Krewe du Vieux, especially Plaine Kern and Vice Lee who turn out greater and greater parades every year.
To WWOZ's staff and volunteers and to WFMU and The Hound.

A rare "parade's-eye-view" of the KdV from Krewe of C.R.U.D.E. (These guys are so organized they even have a potty on their float. Okay so it is a bucket covered by a toilet seat - but it has a cup holder.)

My Chinese Girl
Good video (horrible sound) from the pre-K 2005 parade; What Would Krewe Du Vieux Do?" This theme garnered us a bigger audience share of the more out-spoken evangelical population who attended our 2006 parade with signs a-twirling. Unfortunately for them, they didn't realize we change our theme every year and they didn't understand our 2006 theme of "Cest Levee" so their presence didn't really make any sense to them or anyone else. They did get some cool throws though.

The preceding set of music was for the Krewe of Underwear who are satirizing the xenophobes who make Chinese funding of US debt. They're just buying treasury bills, not the actual treasury.

Shark Bait
For Krewe of CRAPS, the sharks on the bankrupt seas. Craps costumes will be sharks, their float is a gold plated boat, and their specialty throw are second-line hankies. I'll be the shark that looks like he should be at his midnight gig at WWOZ.

100 Novelty 45's
From the write up on youtube:
The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo on the Gong Show. This was seen originally in 1976. This had been sitting on my shelf for years. I figured all old time Boingo fans may enjoy this. I still have about 25 stubs from all the Boingo concerts I saw, and never missed the annual Halloween show. It appears the guy with the rocket is Danny's brother Richard, and Danny is playing the Trombone.

Dody Goodman Sings?
Dody was one of those actors-singers-broadcast voices that you always ran across but never quite associated the voice and face with a name. Her music continues on in this tradition - good stuff but sub rosa. Link is to Dody on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Oh yeah, remember when Martin Mull first played Barth Gimble on Mary Hartman?

Fred Willard as Jerry Hubbard, Martin Mull as Barth Gimble and Frank DeVol as Happy Kime. These guys all had plenty of talent and the combination worked (especially at the time, three decades ago). Kind of like public radio - introducing the new talent in a format that places artistic presentation over moneyed production. So who else hit the Barth Gimble show?
