He asked why I didn’t like it which only resulted in an even bigger shock for him. He was quite shocked when I said I didn’t. I was once asked by a neighbour if I liked country music. I think my problem with modern country music is that it is all very samey and tends to fit the description of country rock. Marty Robbins 1959 album, Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs This entry was posted in Musos, Waffle and tagged Children's albums, Danny Weinkauf, Dial-A-Song, John Flansburgh, John Linnell, The Sunday Smorgasbord, They Might Be Giants, TYGA FM on Maby The Slabthrower. This week’s show will be the 11th to feature one of the songs and I was absolutely tickled pink to receive a personalised ID for my show this week made by none other than John Flansburgh himself! Roll on Sunday night so I can play both it and the new song. I thank my fellow presenter at TYGA, Martin Bennett, for making me aware of the opportunity via social media. I was only too eager to sign up my program, The Sunday Smorgasbord, so my local 100% volunteer-run community station, TYGA FM, could be one of those participating. By signing up to become part of their Dial-A-Song Radio Network stations are digitally provided a new track to play each week on their radio programs. They Might Be Giants decided to resurrect the Dial-A-Song concept late last year and asked radio stations to express interest in participating. A long time between drinks.īut back to Dial-A-Song. We first saw them live in Canberra at the ANU Bar on 20th March 1997 and then again in Hobart at Wrest Point Casino on 14th May 2013. It was my wife who actually got me into the band and although I had heard them before I am grateful she got me to listen to them. Of course some of the more obvious musical acts turn up when you intentionally pick performances longer than 10 minutes. It was my way of saying “so long” each week. This was an opportunity to duck out early whilst playing lengthier tracks that wouldn’t often get an airing on radio. The last couple of years or so I have ended my show with a segment I dubbed the S’Long Song. Over the years I have developed some regular segments whilst retaining my original intention of mainly “winging it”. I tend to just “wing it” on the night with the intent to mix it up as much as possible and only have about half a dozen songs in mind for a two-hour show. Since going out on my own I’ve found I like not having too much of a blueprint before I enter the studio.
I originally had a co-host who stuck with me for a couple of years and for that, Mark “Knackers” Corlett, I thank you. When I first commenced my radio program, The Sunday Smorgasbord, it was “our” not “my”.
