1,095 Days Later: The Quickening
2007 looks to be a great year already. Beginning January 1st, WFMU’s imitable and often musically reckless Beware of the Blog is hosting the second installment of Otis Fodder’s wonderful 365 Days Project, posted daily. If you missed out on the 365 Days of 2003, click here to be amazed. I am honored to be among this year’s many esteemed participants, and as my first contribution I’ve selected a catchy song from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, “The L.S. Bumble Bee.” It’s not as rare as most of what you’ll hear there this year, but I’ll have a few surprises for you over the months. From what I’ve seen, this collection looks to be nothing short of stupendous. Of course, WFMU should already be a frequent online destination for any self-respecting music lover. Among the incredible oddities to be found there, you’ll run across things like Rolling Stone’s inexcusably horrid Beatles medley from 1977. And they said that my Beatles tribute was awful. Ctrl-click or right-click here and save the file to get a look-see. (7o MB download.) Also, here are a couple more songs by Cook and Moore, “Love Me” and “Bedazzled.” Whatever your feelings about Arthur 2: On the Rocks, you’re sure to enjoy these classic bits.
