Comment:
Week Eight of my radio show on KDVS in Davis. Focused on specific kinds of electric organs this week, and it was lots of fun to research. I still don't understand what an Optigan is, but I'm pretty sure I can recognize what it sounds like now. You can see more info and download the show here: http://asucd.ucdavis.edu/radio/showme.cfm?show=993&title=Musical%20Toybox&back=_grid
Feedback:
way cool, friend... way cool!
Ooooo - this looks really good. I like the idea of Sam Phillips on a cd with Tom Waits and Daniel Johnston, as well as the Question Mark and the Mysterians. I've been meaning to listen to Dengue Fever.
A very very needed mix. Inspired. :D
Oh YES indeedy do!
Damn, you always highlight the greatest instruments! You have the absolute coolest series here. I usually only know maybe 10% of the music on each one but it's just a huge treat seeing your compilations of music that show off the best of the "novelty" (aka incredibly interesting) instruments. I only wish you had mp3 links...either way, keep up the brilliant work!
I love it when you open your musical toybox. Excellent edition. Especially the Dengue Fever.
i dig mixes like this! and a friend of mine has an optigan - super cool. nothing quite sounds like it. you might dig my mix, "viva farfisa", from some time ago.
