RIP: Dr. Demento radio show. Welcome: Dr. Demento web stream show.

The radio show that made Weird Al Yankovic a star was down to four or so stations and now those are going away. He'll still be carried, for the time being, out of a station in Amarillo, TX, but new shows will now be streamed online weekly!

Out with the old, in with the new.

(there must be some way that I can tell my Mac to wake up at a certain time and capture an audio stream...)

I was too young for Bloom County, and I loved it anyway. I own all the compilations now and can see just how much of the political humor went straight over my little head.

One Halloween, my brother was the Banana Jr. Series 6000 and I was Opus. His costume was much better than mine.

Very cool costumes! I seem to remember a Banana strip where it's going to take over the world, then its power cord pops out of the wall. There's an old adage: a computer's attention span is only as long as its power cord.

I really liked his political humor. Trudeau is still doing a fine job with Doonesbury, but I found Bloom County to be much more entertaining.
