If you're a regular listener to The Monday Morning Breakfast Blend you know that I'm a huge Frank Turner fan. Ever since I heard his "Love Ire & Song" cd that came out in mid 2008,with it even yielding my favorite song of the entire year,"Photosynthesis". Last years "Poetry Of The Deed" was just as solid,if not better,and again yielding my second favorite track of the entire year,"Try This At Home". He's currently on tour with Flogging Molly and since they had an off day,he was able to come to Richmond to do a one off show downstairs at The Camel.
Mr.Turner was gracious enough to stop by the station yesterday afternoon before his show to record some interviews with Josh Sturgill,who of course does Mother's Milk,heard every Monday night from 1-3a.m. right here on WRIR,and myself and also record a handful of acoustic songs.
I'll be playing those interviews and songs in the second hour of the show.

BSTF 806 - Firesign Theatre 101
Feb. 21, 2010, 6:34 a.m.
Years ago when I began doing "BOB"'S SLACKTIME FUNHOUSE, I decided that I was going to do stuff that was really special. At the time it was suggested that I could play whole Firesign Theatre records as the show, but I flipped that suggestion off. "That's too trite," I sniffed. "Besides, everyone's heard that stuff. I want to do radio that's DIFFERENT from the usual..."
Well, I guess I *have* done that--but that point of view was fifteen years ago, and I was operating on paradigms from the past even back then. Since then, I have been using little bits of FT stuff in dribs and drabs--the cognoscenti among my listeners knew its provenance, and that was fine by me. But things change as time drags on...
Last night in the tub, I got to thinking--when was the last time you actually heard anyone devote a chunk of radio time to the full appreciation of some of the Firesign Theatre's finest works? It's been so long that most of my listeners have little understanding of FT and what exactly they brought to the entertainment-starved freaks out there in the world--a whole panoply of audio insanity that still unreels, unbidden, word-for-word out of my cortex to this very day. Their body of work, in and of itself, is a separate cosmos, one which richly, rightly deserves to be plumbed for its gems and joys.
It is in this spirit of education that I announce this week's offering:
The Firesign Theatre's 1970 audiocomedy masterwork, "Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers"--played in its entirety!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Crush_That_Dwarf,_Hand_Me_the_Pliers
From its vivid Robert Grossman cover to its deathless, thrilling content, the twisted life of George Leroy Tirebiter will unreel before your disbelieving ears as he floats in etherspace, trapped on various television channels like an electronic Billy Pilgrim. "Marching to Shibboleth!" "High School Madness!" "Parallel Hell!" And if you're like me, your lips will move in perfect time with every familiar line.
I've weighed it, and I'll have to bleep the two "shits" out of the game show sequence with Mrs Presskey (they're too loud) and I'm taking the pops out of the vinyl like a religious fanatic swabbing the Church steps with her hair, but that's it. No funny business--and at the same time, NOTHING BUT funny business! Funny business as only Phil Austin, Philip Proctor, Peter Bergman, and David Ossman can deliver!
So, enjoy!
