So what non-vinyl songs would I like to add to show # two ?

I listened to the second show a few times, getting a feel for how the songs flow together and to listen to how my on mic talking is.  Well, I clearly need to learn to SPEAK CLEARLY into the mic.  I will always tend to zoom about the studio a bit, turn to read something etc, so anyone wanting to hear the clear tones of a Kid Leo or Rocko, well that will never happen.   But I know as the weeks progress I will slow down a bit (hey I have a whole 30 minutes to fill!) and will get the brain and mouth into closer sync.

As to music, well that is much easier.

Andy Partridge, one of the principles of the great band XTC,  put out a wonderful box set a couple of years ago called Fuzzy Warbles.  It was a grab bag of unreleased tracks, snippets of things and demo versions of songs.   XTC’s big ‘hits’ were songs like Dear God, Making Plans for Nigel and Senses Working Overtime. Well none of those were the tracks that came to mind for show two.

My first thought was a track called Miller Time but I could not find that track on youtube.  I browsed some other tracks from Fuzzy Warbles (many of them are hanging out up there) and found Prince of Orange.  I think it would make a nice edition, and it has the added tie in of having the word Orange in it, which is where I went to High School.

The other Andy /XTC thing that I stumbled on was the theme from the short lived (very short!) TV series called Wonderfalls.   The Cuyahoga County Library has the complete series (13 episode season one) on DVD.  It is a quirky, fun and wonder-full little series, by the same folks who brought you Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me.

Here is what IMDB says about it:  Wonderfalls and here is theme for the show from Andy : I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls
