A Junky’s Christmas podcast

Posted on by

William S. Burroughs, not really looking his very best

God willin’ and Odeo don’t screw up agin…Odeo seems to have screwed up agin. All fixed!

which is really the spirit of these things if you think about it. Behold William S. Burroughs reading the conclusion to William S. Burrough’s famous story, A Junky’s Christmas.

If that don’t work for you, try this link HERE.

Or these three YouTube vids. For those of you on dialup (like me, at the moment) you’ll just have to take it on faith it’s all here, which is all sorta seasonal-like if you think on it.

A Christmas Carol, by Tom Lehrer

UPDATE: Fixed. Click and play.

Stole this from the Padgett blog, because after wasting a good $6 trying to get the “Upload to Odeo” and “Podcast” thingies working on this goddam rented public computer, I finally figured I’d just go ahead and steal it from someone who’d already ripped it.

Have I mentioned that I’m somewhat peeved at Messieurs Gates and Jobs? Somewhat.

I assume anyone reading this is familiar with Tom Lehrer, but that’s mostly because I assume everyone worth knowing is familiar with Tom Lehrer, being as he’s arguably the greatest musical satirist ever. If, for some reason, you’re not, I would highly recommend you drop everything and pick up a copy of the multi-disc retrospective Rhino put out a few years back. Of course, now that you’ve got that album, you’ve got this song as well (two versions of it!), but I suppose that’s all right.

Lehrer, FYI, is the man who says he got out of political satire because it became redundant when they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger.

Another in our ongoing series of multiculti seasonal anthems. And with all the struggles I’m having trying to do a simple podcast, take what you can get; I nearly posted Kiki and Herb’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” instead, just because it fits my mood somewhat better at the moment.

But then, Kiki and Herb are the universal language, are they not? (PS if you see Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, tell them to duck if they’re coming through Vancouver. I could strangle those two bytches with my bare hands at this point)

Merry Christmas. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

a child’s podcast in Wales

Posted on by

Lydia sent me Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales as mp3’s, so I thought I’d share them. Hopefully this will work, as I haven’t got time to tweak Odeo and bend it to my will like I normally do.

UPDATE: Nope, it don’t. Will try to fix it later, wish me luck. This should work.

Chinatown en Francais

Posted on by

Chinese chef could kick Iron Chef's ass!

via Metro‘s suggestion in this post. I thought the song was good enough to be made available to more than just the Quebecois and the Okanaugainous.

Beau Dommage

Un soir d’hiver dans Chinatown
On s’est promené devant les vitrines
On a trouvé un magasin qui sentait l’orient

On a marché toute la soirée
Tes bottes te faisaient mal aux pieds
Les vieux Chinois nous regardait
Nous autres, on souriait

 

La première neige est tombée sur le Chinatown
Les rues sont glissantes, y a un accident
Au coin de St-Hubert et Jean Talon

 

Dans l’escalier de ton appartement
Ta main cherchait ta clé en tremblant
Les voisins d’à côté criaient
Tout d’suite on est entré

 

Dans ta chambre on n’a rien allumé
Par la fenêtre on voyait la neige tomber
Tu m’as d’mander combien de temps l’hiver allait durer

 

La première neige est tombée sur le Chinatown
Au coin du boulevard pis la 22-ème
Y’on trouvé un char abandonné

 

Un soir d’hiver dans Chinatown
On s’est promené devant les vitrines
Le lendemain la neige avait disparu, le lendemain la neige
Le lendemain la neige avait disparu, le lendemain la neige
Le lendemain la neige, le lendemain la neige…
