"" by The Emeralds MP3	While record shopping in San Francisco last January, Station Manager Ken stumbled upon a Japan Night 2004 sampler with a few tracks from the Yokohama band The Emeralds. Within hours of playing this track on the air, a listener tracked down the band, who promptly tracked down Ken and gave permission to post this track.
"MR. POWER SHAKER" by Little Howling Wolf MP3	Baltimore noise junk mavens Nautical Almanac are behind this CDR issue of some stark, raw 45s from James Pobiega, a 6'9" Polish man from Chicago, whom in the 70s and 80s recorded and performed under the moniker Little Howlin' Wolf. While the inspiration for his namesake can clearly be heard in his gravelly voice and rib-sticking electric raw guitar lines, this stuff is all home-recorded, whatever-goes stabs at genres of all kinds from calypso to New Orleans funereal marches, sometimes overlapped in the same track while overdubbed monotonous drums patter away. Comparisons are even made to Albert Ayler (whose "Ghosts" can be ascertained in the melody lines quite often), but the drifting time signatures and overlapping ideas are purely in line with other primitive geniuses like Abner Jay (if Abner had access to a 4-track I think he would have sounded more like this).
"PICKIN" by Tony Mason Cox MP3	WARNING: Contains some potentially offensive language, namely the 'N' word being spoken in the voice of a "channeled" slave owner. Receiving this in the mail with a blurred photograph on the cover of a man undergoing some kind of open-heart surgery made me immediately suspect it was some kind of Cold Wave/Industrial action, but then looking on the back of the CD I was startled to see headshots of what looks like a late 50s/early 60s bespectacled middle class suit-type. That coupled with song titles like "Milk", "Dads", "If I Hurt You", "If You Hurt Me", and "Alabamy Jail" made me totally confused. And the liner notes certainly didn't help things. Tony Mason-Cox is an Australian insurance salesman whose notes verify that indeed, he refused a triple-bypass in favor of being operated on by a Philippine spiritual surgeon, while awake, in 1995 and the bloody mess on the cover was real. A firm believer in reincarnation, the surgeon was believed to be a God-chosen medium to help heal. If that isn't enough, Mason-Cox believes that he was the medium himself for an 1800's Negro slave from Alabama, who spoke through him as he sang a capella into a tape recorder booming hymns of picking cotton and being locked in jail; the a capella recordings were then backed by a jazz band on this CD. Phew. Mason-Cox's "originals" also are totally surreal, almost like Ivor Cutler gone smooth jazz, though Cutler charms and this distresses. File under "real people" I guess.
"ITANONG MO SA MGA BATA" by Asin MP3	Beautiful folk-psych from this Philippine unit's "Masdan Mo ang Kapaligiran" LP from early 1970s; fabulous belting female vocal, definitely leaning towards what was going on in the West Coast USA at the same time with definitive local traditional flavor.
"TOP 40 SWINGIN' SOFT DRINK SPOTS" by Various MP3	Excerpt from a very cool 2 CD set (volume 2 of a series of 2) put out by X-Static Productions (xstaticdirect@excite.com) depicting the USA advertising juggernaut at a pinnacle, flowing in a mind-numbing river of soda pop brainwashing. This obviously will appeal to nostalgia buffs as well.
"DOG FACE" by Coyle and Sharp MP3	Previously-unreleased man-in-the-street pranksters in fine form.
"PAW PAW NEGRO BLOWTORCH" by Brian Eno with the Winkies MP3	Rarely heard 1974 BBC session with Bri-Bri backed by a temporary rock band known as the Winkies. This song appeared in much different form on the "Here Come the Warm Jets" LP.
"BEST INDIVIDUAL SONG ON THE CD" by Fucking Pigs MP3	Australia gave us not only Stu Spasm, but this tasteful little ensemble whose vocabulary may be rather limited, but heartfelt.
"SHOWSTOPPER" by Iron Knowledge MP3	Taken from the incredible (and out-of-print) private-press funk comp "Chains and Black Exhaust" which WFMU was playing way before the rest of the crowd. Here is a total acid-proto-metal funk blast by a band I wish someone would track down and do a proper retrospective on immediately (two other bands on this comp, LA Carnival and Black Merda, have since gotten that treatment).
"BLUE DANUBE" by T.U.F. MP3	From a longtime fave at WFMU, a compilation of mutant takes on the Blue Danube called "An Der Schonen Blauen Donau." Warped.
"HAULING CABLE" by WFMU AVI	March 29th, 2005. A day to ascend to the heavens - despite the fact that The Rapture wasn't scheduled for another six years, two months and three days. The last snow of the year was still on the ground and a light drizzle was falling as WFMU set out to replace it's 91.1 FM antenna. By the end of the day, the sun broke out and WFMU signed back on the air, pumping out a better signal than ever. The technology that made it happen spanned millenia, from ancient and medieval devices like axles, wheels, ropes and winches, to the old fashioned twentieth century art of tower climbing by eccentric tower guys, to the high tech back-seat-of-your-car computer analysis of the whole operation. Not to mention the laser guided hole cutter which carved out the precision entry system for the transmission cable. In this clip, Johnny pulls some rope to send the new cable to the top of the tower.
"TOWER OF POWER" by WFMU AVI	WFMU Antennae switcheroo: Dave and Al hang out up top as the storm breaks up.
"CUTTING CABLE" by WFMU AVI	WFMU Antennae switcheroo: Johnny uses precision guidance systems to cut the transmission cable.
"TUNING TRANSMITTER" by WFMU AVI	WFMU Antennae switcheroo: WFMU Chief Engineer John Fog tunes up the new antenna.
"RINGWORM / YOU SAY FRANCE AND I WHISPER / HAVE A DANISH" by Van Morrison MP3	Another perennial fave around here, the infamous contractual obligation sessions Van the Man gave to Bang Records in order to get out of his contract and go to Warner Brothers. Who'da thunk that the spirit behind "Astral Weeks" was only months earlier warbling about wanting a danish on tape. Apparently these have been floating around on oddball European Van Morrison reissues as bonus tracks, but the Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster label did up a full disc of these insane songs a while back.
"WHAT THE FUCK (REMIXED)" by Madonna MP3	Madonna's people had planted fake Madonna MP3s on various file sharing networks, and when the unsuspecting downloaders opened the file, Madonna excoriated them with a "This is Madonna. What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Within hours, there were dozens upon dozens of remixes floating around the web. This was one of them.
"HOW SOON IS NOW (STRETCHED REMIX)" by t.A.T.u MP3	A stretched out version of tAtu's cover of The Smiths "How Soon is Now".
"SORRY I'M A LADY" by Baccara MP3	A super-mega-hit on Ken Freedman's show. And in Israel.
"MOSKOW" by Ghengis Khan MPEG	This is an mpeg video file of the huge-in-Israel band doing a fantastic cheesy cossack disco dance number!
"STAGE BANTER" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young MP3	Have a listen to some incredibly bad between-song comedy from a Crosby, Stills Nash and Young concert in 1970. Thanks to listener Bruce for this clip. It captures something quite odious about the stupid 60's.
"QUANTIFY" by Flocabulary MP3	An MP3 from the SAT vocabulary study site, Flocabulary. The idea is that you can fabricate a moï¿½ better vocabulary by listening to ï¿½rapï¿½ songs that use capacious words. This is not a very advantageous idea, especially if you like 1) songs, or 2) words.
"NICE PEOPLE" by Charlie and His Orchestra MP3	Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, assembled a fairly competent swing band called Charlie and His Orchestra to perform Nazified versions of the jazz hits of the day. Led by an English speaking German, Karl Schwendler, Charlie and His Orchestra broadcast on the medium-wave and short-wave bands throughout the 1930s to Canada, the US and Britain. The idea was to lure the masses in with the irrestible tonic of swing music and then slyly work in the anti-Jewish, American and British lyrics after the second or third verse. The broadcasts of Charlie and His Orchestra were not available in the Fatherland proper, but that only enhanced their legend, and they picked up an underground following in Germany as well.
"THANKS FOR THE MEMORY" by Charlie and His Orchestra MP3	Here's another song from Charlie and His Orchestra.
"INDIAN LOVE CALL" by Charlie and His Orchestra MP3	Another song from Charlie and His Orchestra.
"PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT" by Unknown MP3	A Teutonic version of Paradise by the Dashboard Light (mp3 cuts off at the end, sorry!)
"DECIDE" by Go! MP3	A track from Go!'s 3rd single, "Why Suffer?" See Mike Lupica's article about Go! here.
"ON THE NEED TO NEED" by Go! MP3	Another track from Go!'s 3rd single, "Why Suffer?" See Mike Lupica's article about Go! here.
"HOW TO WAX YOUR ASS" by Tod Maffin MP3	Podcast of a guy getting his butt waxed by an esthetician.
"IMAGINE...WALK ON THE WILD SIDE" by Rx MP3	Imagine Dubya singing "Imagine" and "Walk on the Wild Side." On the remix album, The Party Party. More info here.
"PALINDROMES" by Baby Gramps MP3	Performed on WFMU in June of 1988, hosted by Nicholas Hill. Baby Gramps is a Seattle based performer who is best described as a cross between Popeye and a Tuvan Throat Singer. This track is his crowd-pleasing ode to palindromes, words, phrases (or in his case, entire books) that are spelled the same backwards and forwards. Not to be confused with the current Todd Solondz movie.
"AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI" by She Be She Strike MP3	Eskimo radio. The story and the tapes began circulating around the cassette underground in the early-eighties: an Inuit Radio station operated in Northern Canada by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was vacated by its regular staff due to a CBC strike, and the station was temporarily programmed by its Eskimo janitor and his buddies. After some mixed Inuit-English shout-outs to "Barney, and uh, Rosey, And hello to you Bruce and Matt (more Inuit) I'm happy to you. OK, I'm singing to you Ayatollah Khomeini." This track dates the strike to 1979-1980, when Khomeini was all over the news because of the Iranian hostage crisis.
"YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" by She Be She Strike MP3	The definitive Inuit version of the state song of Louisiana, performed on harmonica, jews harp and vocal, sans guitar.
"LABATT'S BEER AD" by She Be She Strike MP3	Eskimo radio beer commercial. At least, that's what it sounds like. Maybe the regular engineers took the commercials home with them, or the temporary staff set up a temporary sales office to hawk some ad time.
"HEART OF STONE" by She Be She Strike MP3	Performed live on Inuit radio and soon to be released as a bonus track on the Canadian reissue of Hot Rocks.
"MARIJUANA HUMOR" by She Be She Strike MP3	Testiment to the ubiquity of Cheech and Chong and marijuana jokes in general throughout the Seventies, or public service announcement? You decide. If you listen closely, you may hear the term "Lebanese Ragweed" and "Marijuana." One things for sure - there's at least one copy of Frank Zappa's Dynamo Hum north of the 60th parallel.
"THICKER THAN A SMOKEY" by Gary Higgins MP3	Gary Higgins' Red Hash is one of the pinnacles in lost-soul beardo psych/folk records out there. One listen to "Thicker Than a Smokey" and you immediately are sucked into the world of someone who feels a last chance at getting his feelings down in his music, maybe forever. It's gorgeous, pure, ultra-personal stuff. Higgins' soulful acoustic opus Red Hash was born in 1973 after years of kicking around the NYC folk-rock club scene, backing up people like Gary U.S. Bonds, even playing with Simeon pre-his Silver Apples days. After an unfortunate pot bust, Higgins was sentenced to two and a half years in the pen, and as a direct result of that, a 40 hour recording session ensued in the time prior to his incarceration.
"KOOCHIE-KOO" by Baccara MP3	Saccharine Euro-disco from Spanish Flamenco artists, Mayte Mateus and Maria Mediolo. This song is from their self-titled 1977 release.
"DEUTCHLAND UBER DISCO" by Funktionaries MP3	Goofy German disco. Ya.
"I'M HAPPY" by Ivor Cutler MP3	This is one silly Scot belting out a gleeful tune in baritone. If this guy moved in next door, you'd be wheeled out in a straightjacket within 24 hours.
"HAPPY LIVING" by Astro Age Steel Orchestra MP3	A Christmas tune, covered Caribbean-style by Japanese artists. Think you can top the novelty of this one? Yeah, just step off.
"HAPPY HERO" by Negativland MP3	SF-based comedy-rock heroes, playing some honky-tonk.
"RADIO SPOT" by Presidential Prayer Team MP3	Find out how God protected George Washington despite being shot four times! You could become immortal too, if you would only join the Presidential Prayer Team!
"REGULAN BLOOD WORM" by No Kill I MP3	Why shouldn't there be a Star Trek tribute punk band? With songs like "Starfleet Up My Butt," "Wearin' Red," and "Neutral Zone," even the nerds-that-be included them in the film, Trekkies 2.
"GRANDPA PSA" by American Family Association MP3	The best public service announcement we ever received, which was mailed to every radio station in the country by Donald Wildmon's American Family Association, which apparently still harbors fantasies of liberal gestapo squads shoveling heaps o' Bibles into the secular humanist bonfire. No word on whether this magical piece of radio theater generated the million signatures they were aiming for.
"THINGS THAT YOU DO" by BOB MP3	A tune from the SF new wave band BOB, extracted from a self-titled single released on Dumb Records in 1980. A decidedly lethargic version of this song also appears on their "Backwards" album that was released on the label 3 years later. Pons Maar, who played the Lead Wheeler in Return to Oz, the lizard-man in Masters of the Universe, the lead character in the TV show "Dinosaurs" AND the voice of the Noid(!) appears as the band's drummer on this single.
"THEY MUST BE RUSSIANS" by Attilla the Stockbroker MP3	One of the 20th Century's greatest poets, Attila the Stockbroker, from his brilliant "Ranting at the Nation" LP.
"RUSSIANS AT THE HENRY REGATTA" by Attilla the Stockbroker MP3	The clarity of Attilla's rants, his often-hilarious demeanor, and what remains a wholly unchallenged sense of smart assed-ness makes these tunes delectable.
"RUSSIANS IN THE DHSS" by Attilla the Stockbroker MP3	Another track from the "Ranting at the Nation" LP.
"RUSSIANS IN MACDONALDS" by Attilla the Stockbroker MP3	Attilla attacks the Russians. Again.
"DON'T TRY TO CURE YOURSELF" by They Must Be Russians MP3	Pause to reflect on the sexual-hygenically minded brilliance of early 80s po-punk-new-wavers They Must be Russians and their cautionary epic.
"INTRO TO THE INCREDIBLE HULK" by Ted Cassidy MP3	Ted Cassidy (Lurch) narrates the intro to The Incredible Hulk.
"FLIGHT F-I-N-A-L EXCERPT 1" by Forrest McCullough MP3	The culture of death, for the culture-of-life set. From the introduction to an LP-length allegory that's sure to terrify Christians under the age of eight. If you're reading this website, you've already been bumped from this flight, so don't concern yourself.
"AT THE GRASSROOTS" by Sri Dawn Gross MP3	The faith of Eckankar, besides advocating low-cost travel through the time-space continuum, has a long history of charismatic (albeit tonedeaf) leaders. Here, the then-reigning Echmaster belts out a melody of his own, uh, devising.
"AN OPEN LETTER TO MY TEENAGE SON" by Victor Lundberg MP3	The hit single from a collection of 1960's Libertarian recitations. A seminal release in the field of hyperpatriotic white rap (see Byron Magregor).
"AMERICA'S WAY" by Exxon Singers MP3	Pre-Reaganomic trickle-down theory, in song. The LP was titled "the Spirit of Achievement" and was distributed to Exxon employees at some point between the gas crisis of 1973 and the second one in 1979.
"THE COMING WAR WITH RUSSIA" by Jack Van Impe MP3	The good Reverand broadcast his creative Bible interpretations out of Detroit, and was syndicated nationally throughout the Sixties and Seventies. Van Impe samples also abound on records from the same era.
"MARCH OF THE PSYCHLO" by L. Ron Hubbard MP3	What's a crazed ex-CIA officer / cult leader without a good hit single behind him? From the album of the book of the incredibly horrible John Travolta movie Battlefield Earth, Scientology's own version of Flight F.I.N.A.L.
"SOVIET PUTSCH" by Radio Moscow MP3	Vasily Strinikov, the Casey Kasem of Radio Moscow, discusses how he first learned of the August 1991 Soviet coup. Followed by Radio Moscow's first announcement of the takeover.
"IT'S GOT TO BE DONE" by Lonesome Valley Singers MP3	What real Americans were listening to during the Summer of Love. From the LP Country and Western War Songs, which was offered on late-night TV, from the looks of it.
"HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF" by Buddy Starcher MP3	The original conspiracy theory 45 rpm single, which reached number 39 on the pop charts in April of 1966. Buddy's basic format of patriotic background music with a self-righteous recitation laid the blueprint for dozens of white hyperpatriotic rappers for years to come.
"AMERICANS" by Byron MacGregor MP3	The work of a bored news anchorman from Windor, Ontario, just across the river from Detroit. The single reached number one in 1974, prompting an entire LP of such stuff and countless imitation records, but still no thanks or credit in sight for Victor Lundberg or Buddy Starcher.
"THANK YOU CANADA" by Shelly Looney MP3	1980's entry into the hyperpatriotic rap wars, released after Canada helped smuggle four US hostages out of Iran. Shelly turned the table on Canada in 1998, when she scored the winning goal for the US Olympic team in Nagano, Japan.
"I'M FROM NEW JERSEY" by Chordbenders MP3	The song that started it all - Bruce, The Pulaski Skyway, Sayreville - WFMU. The rest is history.
"THE GAME OF LIFE EXCERPT" by Jarrel McCracken MP3	Forces of Evil won the game by default after Average Christian tested positive for performance-enhancing substances in post-game screening.
"I'VE GOT A POCKETFUL OF DREAMS" by Radio Charlie MP3	Bonafide anti-semitic swing music under the directions of Joseph Goebbels, beamed from Nazi Germany to British, US and Canadian audiences via short and medium wave radio. More info and MP3 on Radio Charlie here.
"RADIO SPOT" by Pastor John Rydgren MP3	Swingin' inspiration from WPLJ's own psychedelic preacher, circa 1966, when PLJ briefly sported a hip Christian format.
"FLIGHT F-I-N-A-L EXCERPT 2" by Forrest McCullough MP3	If only real airlines had in-flight entertainment as good as this.
"WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SLAP" by Carson Robison MP3	World War Two-era Japan-bashing by the author of the hit song, Life Gits Teejus, Dont It?
"OUR JOB IN JAPAN EXCERPTS" by U.S. Government Tape MP3	Excerpts from the soundtrack of an Army training film shown to the US forces occupying post-World War II Japan. Winner of the anti-propaganda-as-propaganda award.
"FLIGHT F-I-N-A-L EXCERPT 3" by Forrest McCullough MP3	Featuring the actual, unaltered voice of The Almighty.
"THE MONKEY SONG" by Robin and Crystal Bernard MP3	Reverand Jerry Falwell introduces The Bernard Sisters. Grunting away in the background is "Little Sins," who snuck into the recording session during halftime of the Game of Life. Despite this recording, Crystal Bernard went on to a successful TV and recording career.
"DUCK AND COVER" by U.S. Government Training Film MP3	Soundtrack excerpts from more government "training films," this one aimed at the schoolchildren of a terrified Nation. Portions of this film were featured in the documentary film The Atomic Cafe.
"RADIO SPOT 2" by Pastor John Rydgren MP3	"Trust Me, Man." That's good enough for me!
"HOW TO PICK UP GIRLS AT THE MUSEUM" by Eric Weber MP3	From the LP of the book based on the movie based on the magazine ads "How To Pick Up Girls."
"WE GOT EM" by Exxon Singers MP3	If screwing the consumer is so wrong, how come it feels sooo right?
"THE TRUMPET" by Hank Levine and George Atkins MP3	Sarcastic musical agit-prop from the satiric 1962 LP Sing Along With JFK, which dared to poke reverential fun at the country's charismatic young King.
"WHERE HAVE ALL THE HEROES GONE" by Bill Anderson MP3	In a recent People Magazine profile, Bill Anderson was only able to name two astronauts. Mr Anderson also recorded (under a pseudonym) a stirring tribute (realaudio) to Lt. WIlliam Calley.
"QUINCY- PUNK ROCK EPISODE" by TV MP3	With Jack Webb dead and the new version of Dragnet not yet on the air, the task of demonizing punk rock fell to Jack Klugman. Network TV tackles west coast thrash circa 1981.
"YOU'VE STARTED SOMETHING" by Radio Charlie MP3	More anti-Churchill swing music from Radio Charlie's nightly broadcasts. More MP3s from Radio Charlie here.
"EFFICIENCY" by Exxon Singers MP3	What rhymes with "Keynsian?"
"THE MORE YOU SMILE" by Studio LaRoux In House Announcer MP3	The highlight of this collection for me, an actual in-store motivational recording from a Manhattan boutique, circa the late Eighties. This was intended for the store's own staff to motivate them before the store opened. Unopened vials of Eau Du Success are now fetching thousands of dollars on eBay.
"FLIGHT F-I-N-A-L EPILOGUE" by Forrest McCullough MP3	The visionary behind Flight F.I.N.A.L. reveals all.
"APOLOGY" by Radio Moscow MP3	After the putsch fails, Radio Moscow apologizes for their unprofessional journalistic activity of the previous three days. Not a word about the half-century before that, though.
"FUCKING USA" by DPRK MP3	This is a song created by North Korea to express their dissatisfaction with the USA for, among other things, stealing a gold medal.
"XTC" by H. Jon Benjamin MP3	A track from H. Jon Benjamin (friend of The Best Show) and is "like fucking perfectly fucking perfect and great and fucking great."
"COMMUNIST RADIO" by The Eat MP3	Killed By Death classic, rare punk rock from the band's first single released in 1979.
"CRISTO E LIBERAZIONE" by Pope John Paul II MP3	This pope wasn't a rock star, he was better than a rock star - he was a DJ! He had a night (author makes internationally accepted gesture of DJ'ing by holding cupped left hand to ear while making scratching motion with right hand) - the best night of any DJ in the whole sanctified world! Sure he was a laptopper, but that counts! Sony actually put out a legit CD of The Pope's mixes in 1999. It was called Abba Pater.
"HUMAN RADIO STATION" by The Black Pope MP3	Download your faith with another DJ Pope - Shelley Pope, aka The Black Pope.
"WIDE ASS WHUMPIN'" by Timothy Edwin Schreiber MP3	From a homemade CD chock-full of low-budget booty songs set to casio keyboard demo music. Pure heaven. Released on Cornish in a Turtleneck (CIAT). Other tracks on the CD have titles like "Girl, Yo' Ass Is So Fine," "Booty Coniption," "Crooked Ass Booty," and "Oh My God! (Iss A Booty In Ma Face)."
"DAMN, YOUR BOOTY DON'T STOP" by Timothy Edwin Schreiber MP3	Another gem from "A Collection of 20 Songs About Booties", which was recorded on a 4-track in Mr. Schreibner's basement (or his mom's). Liner notes state the following: "We here at CIAT Incorporated believe that these 20 songs replicate the true feelings and desires of today's youth, and we hope your heart swells with warmth with every listen."
"FIVE FEET HIGH AND RISING" by Johnny Cash MP3	German language version.
"WHISTLERS DELIGHT" by DJ Riko MP3	It's kind of a "Stars on 45" for the whistling set. DJ Riko has a ton of other MP3 remixes for download here along with the full track listing of Whistler's Delight.
"THE THEME" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	Airing Thursday nights in Canada on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network or APTN, Inuit Mittatin's official description reads "This program sets out to find the funniest, quirkiest Inuit in the communities of Nunavut. What is so distinct about Inuit humour? What role does humour play in Inuit life?" We think the following description is more apt: "This program is a lunatic Inuit woman running all over the barren north making up songs and inviting us along as she sinks deeper and deeper into dementia."
"TRIP TO HOTEL" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	In this clip the Inuit woman travels to a hotel and visits the Queen Elizabeth Suite. The creep showing her around claims the queen stayed here, we're not so sure. The edit from an offer to see where the Queen drank tea to a shot of the toilet was how it actually aired.
"STAND UP COMEDY" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	Here we see the ultimate joke, it is both a lawyer joke AND a Newfie joke.
"OH CANADA" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	This lesser sung version of Oh Canada is followed by a brief God Bless America and then what might be a request for a new chair from the Canadian government.
"CRACKING EGGS" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	Cracking eggs in front of some kind of studio audience, Inuit-style.
"DREAM SEQUENCE" by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network WMV	It's not all fun and games on Inuit Mittatin, they finish every episode with a short soap opera called "As Nunavut Turns For The Passionate and Devious." We see our host turn thespian in dream sequence featuring bingo and closing doors with feet.
"ALTERNATIVES TO THE PLAYBACK OF PRE-RECORDED MUSIC" by GX Jupitter-Larsen and the Haters Quicktime	Canada's own GX Jupitter-Larsen needs no introduction to noise aficionados. His project The Haters has been exploring decay and nihilism in sound for over 20 years. Some of his projects have included amplified staple guns, replacing the tone arm and cartridge of a record player with an amplified toy shovel and designing noisy and destructive items with Survival Research Labs.
"ROBOT DANCE" by QRIO WMV	The Impress corporation (Japan) brings you choreographed robo-go-go dancers. Sublimely disturbing.
"STAND-UP" by Pearl Gross WMV	Check out the comic stylings of Aunt Pearl. If you've had plenty of coffee, that is. The worst stand-up. Ever.
"ROUTINE" by John Daker Quicktime	Don't miss these tortured warblings.
"EGGS" by Madonna WMV	Long before she had her way with David Mamet and Lina Wurtmuller, Madonna had her way with...eggs. As evidenced in this video clip from her student days at the University of Michigan, she downs raw yolks a la Sly Stallone and does her best imitation of a skillet.
