Post #601: The Best Show On WFMU

Look, will you just do me a favor and subscribe to this podcast? It's good.

I'm serious. Subscribe to this podcast, like now. It'll take a minute.

To prove how serious I am, here's a strange picture:

Spooncat! weekend round-up:

What a wonderful, happy time we had last weekend. Thank you to all of you who came out to our shows. Also, thanks to Lava Lounge, who treated us very well, and to the El Riad Shrine Clowns. We look forward to working with you again. In....The Future....

What I've got here are 8 square black & white snapshots of behind-the-scenes Spooncat!
Yahmo clutches the left shoulder of J.B., and glances at his beard.

Here, Yahmo clutches the left shoulder of Lester's wife Leah, whilst Lester and J.B. assemble the saxophones.

DSSTM waits for Rainmaker to impale himself on a rental hi-hat stand.

Bronko warms his chops.

Yahmo looks away as Napoleon amuses Leah with his "French Fry Anteater Tongue" routine.

Yahmo and Gord-o sort charts in the Shrine dressing room.

J.B. is interrupted giving shiatsu massage to a deserving fan.
DSSTM, clad in an original '97 Spooncat tee-shirt, reminisces about the time he fell out of a tree, and broke his face.

The Bends...

I'm back from Bend. I'll write more about it later, including the part where I'm pretty sure I saw Marty Schottenheimer in the Salt Lake City airport on Super Bowl Sunday. Well, okay, I just wrote about that part, so I'll write more about the rest of it later.

Hey, let's start a Spooncat! countdown! Just 91 hours and 32 minutes until we start playing tunes...

You guys aren't any fun any more...

Okay, we had a dismal amount of guesses about the disco flute songs in Hy-Vee. Xopher nailed one of them, "Kung Fu Fighting," which came on first. An anonymous poster named the second song, Van McCoy's "The Hustle." The third is a bit of a tougher guess, but was significant simply because it followed the first two, and I was hooked: "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs.

Look on the bright side: because almost no one guessed, almost no one got it wrong!
