Golly, this is the best Oktoberfest ever!
I have to be honest, I didn’t have much today. Fortunately, longtime ex-listener Matt stepped in with a treasure trove of German covers, and suddenly we have reason to celebrate. Wunderbar!
Peppermint Tiwst in German (Caterina Valente & Silvio Francesco) [2:17m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Truly, this is an embarrassment of riches. Track after steaming track, laying here like so many blood sausages on a commemorative Kaiser Wilhelm platter. Everything from show tunes to pop songs, all in German, and some even performed by the original artists!
And now there is nothing left to do but sit back with a tankard of Doppelbock, and let the melodies wash over us like so much duty-free cologne.

Which brings me to
POODLE
The poodles are coming. I swear. I have to resize them all, upload them, link to them, blah blah blah. I’m working on it.
I hope to have them up in a few hours, or maybe tomorrow morning.
And finally…
TWO FAVORS
If anyone happened to tape the Sunday show, would you let me know? I’d like to archive it as soon as I can.
Also, if someone can Paypal me $900K, I’d like to get one of these.
Thanks!

Can anywhere on Cahenga blvd actually be facing a desirable area? For a lot less than $900K , you can get a place in Harbor City facing Anahiem Street. Furthermore, if you ever wish to become a crack whore one just have to wander down to the cornor and set up shop.

I’m concerned with your priorities.
7 steve // Oct 1, 2007 at 8:21 pm
yes, priorities. April, screw the poodles and drink tonight. or should it be the other way around?
and, being an east-coast artsy type, am I missing something with that condo? are you working in a garage? or do you park your car in the office? Each townhome is uniquely separated from the others by thick concrete cinder block to eliminate crossover noise but you won’t hear it anyway, since you’re dead.

They’re trying to deport an 85 year old guy here in Atlanta because he trained guard dogs in Germany 65 years ago. I think the “Walk on By” cover should be his theme song.
9 JohnnyBoy // Oct 2, 2007 at 6:14 am
Yeah, I don’t see the appeal of that place either
though it IS built like a brick townhouse
well, cinder block, but close enough

All these schnappy tunes have me goose-stepping down der strasse !
perhaps I’ll get two more cats and name them Hermann Purring and Mewdolf Hess

In germany it is worse to insult someones dog than someones spouse. We’ve all heard of bomb sniffing dogs and drug sniffing dogs but durning World war II, Germans had smegma sniffing dogs to root out ‘judan’. Many a clean german made his way to camps because he washed his penis.
12 JohnnyBoy // Oct 2, 2007 at 4:15 pm
I don’t know about that, but I ‘ve always seemed to have ass-sniffing dogs
13 jandu // Oct 2, 2007 at 6:41 pm
I’ve dated a couple of ass-sniffing dogs…..I think they were German. Opah!!!!

Should bree walker be served with the head on or off?
15 xlistnerliz // Oct 2, 2007 at 7:57 pm
head on-apple in mouth, plug in ass….no,no,no other way, other way!
16 Auntie Vera Charles // Oct 2, 2007 at 8:13 pm
I’m sorry, but I’m stuck on “Smegma Sniffing Dogs”.
17 pal Jacky // Oct 2, 2007 at 9:31 pm
It has been noted that several men of Jewish descent at the time had ways of culturing smegma on a circumsized penis. However, it smells a bit different and can cause dogs to attack. It is widely believed this was the real reason Andy Dick beat up Jon Lovitz.

Germans are very serious about their beer…err, bier.

I was the Chicago Brauhaus Oktoberfest yodeling queen in 2005.
I tried not to lose touch with the little people.
20 pal Jacky // Oct 3, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Don’t you know its bad luck to touch little people? Look what it did to Bree Walker after she interviewed Luis De Jesus.

okay, I’ll jsut say what all the men have been thinking about and were afraid to admit. We all want a hand job from Bree walker. it is just normal.
That being said, I watched a german film I have on DVD last night . Here’s a quiz: What fassbinder film is it where the transsexual takes her prositute best friend to where she used to work before the operation, the kill floor of a slaughterhouse? the winner gets my other copy of it, that I leant out and the person hasn’t spoken to me since. As soon as she returns it of course.

Oh hell pal Jacky I would hate to come to your house for movie night. What would I bring the beef stroganoff. Or the schnitzel?
25 pal Jacky // Oct 5, 2007 at 3:47 pm
johnny boy got it. The film opens up with the transsexual dressing in her pre-op man clothes and picking up a male prostitute. Who beats her up for having a vagina. This is all to the adagio movement of Mahler’s fifth symphony. You know the piece of music that Lenny Bernstein conducted during the funerals of the kennedys.

Here’s two from me…better late than never, I s’pose…
And one with some April-related content:
28 JohnnyBoy // Oct 6, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Doug, you seem to be encountering the same problem I had.
An HTML which worked swimmingly on another site did not work here.
29 Doug // Oct 6, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Crap, one more try:
Better late than never
April-related
30 Doug // Oct 6, 2007 at 8:11 pm
I think April changed things so pics couldn’t display in the comments…possibly to make them load quicker….?

Y’know, if you got that loft and had a crappy looking car, you’d have it staring at you every morning! Of course, if you DID have a loft like that, I can assume you wouldn’t have a crappy looking car. Hey, that reminds me- I’d heard somewhere that the guy that owned the Broadway Department Stores in the 30s would drive his car onto the service elevator of the Hollywood store building and ride up to his office every day!
