Dark Meat 165: Médecins Sans Joie

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Today’s show is all about illness and doctors and stuff.

* Sugarplastic – Ottowa Bonesaw
* Steely Dan – Doctor Wu
* Suzanne Vega – Bad Wisdom
* Leonard Cohen – Ain’t No Cure For Love
* Devo – The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize
* Asteroids Galaxy Tour – Bad Fever
* Sparks – Achoo
* Scott Walker – The Plague
* Dr. Samuel Hoffman – Deep Purple/S’Wonderful

Technical note: alert listeners may notice an intermittent clicking sound on my announce tracks. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of! To tell the truth, it’s the result of an experiment involving trying to record the announce portion of the show in my walk in closet, which is the quietest place in my apartment. Unfortunately, I can’t take my iMac in there, so I’m forced to use my Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh which doesn’t quite seem to have the processing muscle to handle this work. I’ll try something else next time.

While I’m at it, a correction: Dr. Hoffman was actually a podiatrist, not a chiropractor. I was thinking of the guy who body-doubled Bela Lugosi in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE.
