Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - Eli Polonsky

I'd like to thank Larry Miller for the opportunity to share the Tuesday "Lost & Found" show with him. It was an honor and privilege to work with one of the true pioneers of "FM underground" album rock radio for the past two years.

Increasing work obligations prevent Larry from continuing with the show on a regular basis, but he will be appearing from time to time. Meanwhile, I'll be doing my best (along with some occasional guest hosts) to continue to keep the Tuesday "FM underground radio" edition of "Lost & Found" alive, and as always, I welcome your input and suggestions.

Fans of Larry may be able to hear him hosting his new online show on the webcast station at the New England Institute of Art, where he teaches. The station is at http://www.neialive.com. Though he doesn't appear to be listed on their online schedule, I believe his show is, or will be, Wednesdays 10 AM to 12 noon. Give it a try next week and see if it's there!

This'll be a series of attempts to relation Caturday-worshipping (http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) to Asatru (http://www.religioustolerance.org/asatru.htm). Today's article: Ragnarok => Catnarok

Catnarok

Wer awl scrood. Srsly.

Catnarok wuz da doomz of da Jarmenic gawds. Afta horribul winter lastin 3 yeers, a finul bettuls gonna b foght bah da gawds aggenst da frost dawgs on da plain of Virgidd. On da side of Longcat n da odur gawds are da “gloriuz peeps who got ded”, whho fallened in pwning n wuz taken to leev 4ever as purty angelz in da Ceiling. N wit da gawd of fire and darkness (n da gawd of erif dna ssenkrad), wix iz Tacgnol n da frost dawgs wuz faiting da “unworty peeps who got ded” (unworty meens dey not gud) from da Basement, plus a big hooj wolf dat is liek a big dawg, cal’d Ferretnir (cuz he lieks eating ferrets) dat wen he sayz “i can haz feer?”, all da kittehs go omfg, and plus a vary big fishy kitteh fud cal’d Jormahgod (cuz wen he opens hiz mouths kittehs go “Jor! Mah God!, lol) dat kittehs cant eat cuz he’s big liek a truck only a vetzillions tiem bigger, n iz so big dat wikipedia haz to rite 2 artucles about im.
Der wuz nuthin dat Longcat cud do tah stop dis liek big catastrophe (lol gets it? CATastrophe? I crackz me up), cuz wen Ceiling Cat maded the urfz and Basement Cat wuz liek “i can pwn u anytimez”, n Ceiling Cat wuz liek “no u cant”, n Basement Cat wuz liek “nao u piss me off”, n Ceiling Cat writed in da starz dat somday wen he wuz liek attractive he wud hav sun that is white kitteh, but lieks black dudes too, n Basement Cat wud have sun dat is dark kitteh, n dey wud fire their lazrs in a batul until da urfs is ded. And Ceiling Cat’s sun iz Longcat, and Basement Cat’s sun iz Tacgnol, wich is nawt neerly as long as Longcat.
But Longcat had consolation (hug timez), and wuz dat he knoo Catnarok wuz not d end of da univerz. Aftah he had bin pwnd bah Ferretnir (cuz Longcat is long liek a ferret, so Ferretnir gets confoosed), and Olngact had bin pwnd bah Jormahgod, n all da odur kitteh gawds dat are long had bin pwnd in da shoopdawoop dat its gonna make wen de frost dawgs get dem, a new urfs is gonna rise agen outta da water (wich is da frost dawgs melted bah da hotness of da shoopdawoop dey’s gonna make), and da urfs are fair n green, wich meens deres a lotta grass for the moocows get fat n tasty. In dat tiem, the lolrus had found his bukkit, and so evrystuf is gud.
But b4 da battle 2 hoomins, wich are cal’d Leef and Lithraseer, wuz hided in da sacred treez-aksiz-moondy, Eggdrasil, and dey emerges aftah da Catnarok is over to hav lotsa sex (and some buttsecks 2) to fill da urfs with stoopid hoomins again, so we cans start over. And of course all da kittehs survived cuz Longcat maded dem able to live inside da urfs liek moles and play pokemans in dere until da Catnarok iz over, but da kittehs dat follawed Tacgnol cudnt do dat, so dey got ded. Also, sum of the kitteh gawds survived, like Longcat’s suns Splongcat n Lexycat n hiz brudder Shortcat, Olngact’s sunz Mudcat and Longkip, who inherited deir fader’s So I Herd U Liek Mjollkip?, and Baldrick who comed bekk from da shit.
Da Catnarok, sez da stars, wil take place aftah Caturday.

Discovery of the Year

Telegram to George W. Bush:

Have discovered only person in the world stupider than you stop Now we have two of each colour stop p.s., please please stop

And here's his opinion about same-sex marriage:



If the gay community had half of the retardation of this guy, I'd understand why some of us straight people make such a fuss about it.

(BTW, I of course know this is a joke video. ... Actually, I'm not sure.)

“Mad Dog” Miller doing the Disc Jockey Blues, accompanying himself on the 12-string guitar, in a bad mood and singing badly, from 1979...

For the past three years, I’ve had the pleasure of doing the Tuesday version of Lost and Found, in which we try to recreate the alternative-underground-progressive FM rock radio of the late 60’s. I hope I’ve succeeded. After doing the show weekly for a year, I got Eli to come out of retirement and alternate with me. Along the way, we’ve dug up my old Grateful Dead interview from 1967, and revisited the Monterey Pop festival, which I went to that same year. I also rediscovered a lot of great music that I used to play on the radio back then, and had forgotten about.
It’s been fun, but unfortunately, my day job calls, and I find that schedule conflicts make it impossible for me to continue on a regular basis. I will continue to be an active member of WMBR, and help out with our annual fund-raiser, and try to make the occasional guest appearance or fill-in.

Thanks to Eli for sharing his piece of the airwaves with me, and to all for all the good phone calls and support!
