Idiot Savant Garde

A hideously-complex logo for The Idiot Savant Garde Show
Genre: 
Freeform

For the better part of a year, ISG has been presenting some of the finest in under-appreciated tunes.

With presumably casual disregard for the listeners' comfort -- Matthew has offered up tracks from a variety of genres, such as blues, country, soul, jazz, hip-hop, unpretentious metal, dear-Jesus-anything-but-hardcore punk, innovative reggae, various and sundry flavors of rock, a few highly-specific species of techno, avant-garde weirdness, and the not-nearly-occasional-enough musical train wreck.

Tune in each week to follow your host's glacial-yet-entertaining descent towards random, directionless banter and sobbing!

See if you can detect the very moment his spirit breaks from the accumulated weight of playlist development -- fantastic prizes may be available to the 9th caller to shriek out that timestamp to the hapless station's secretary!!!

I was listening to Fuzzy Bunny Cuddle Time Hour this fine evening, and to my dismay, Dirk Flytrap completely failed to find and play any of my requests. What was I looking for? Well, I really wanted to hear these scorching-hot tracks:

 

"Bad Daughter Outcome" by Davio Sambala
"Take Me To The Clinic, Take Me To The Liquor Store" by Fleshpants
"Hungry Weapons" by The Ho Bag Military Orchestra
"I Got Spanked By Syphilitic Monkeys (And Loved Every Minute)" by MC Joe Biden
"Hunchin' On The Bus" by Dr. Phibes & The Vibes
"Fell In Love With A Wino" by Molly Priest
"Nekkid In The Soup Isle" by Jim Barryfellow Hanks, Sr.
"Dick In A Toaster" by Minnie Pearl
"Nasty Wet Date With A Purty Little Monkey In A Yellow Leather Dress" by Amy Grant & Vince Gill

It's no wonder Sir Flytrap had difficulty locating these cuts in the vaults: they don't actually exist. Hey, but thanks for looking, Dirk!

However, on this week's episode, I'll be playing songs that, you know, actually exist! Wow, what a trendsetter I've become! And for once (one time only?), there will be no Weird Al, Silf and Olly or Shel Silverstein. Bucking the very trends I set, it seems. We'll hear some blues, some rock, a little bit of artsy country, and handful of hip hop, and a big ol' heaping helping of soul. So steer your [insert relevant internet-enabled device] over to Idiot Savant Garde from 4-6pm, Thursday evening, and get yer fix of for-real tunes!

And if you're a musician who feels up to the mighty task of recording your idea of what songs such as "Take Me To The Clinic, Take Me To The Liquor Store" or "Nekkid In The Soup Isle" would sound like, please send me a copy -- I really wanna hear these songs!!!

Coming soon to an internet-enabled barn, zoo or animal husbandry facility of your choice!  Matthew is trotting out a rerun of sorts, featuring a bunch of animal songs that he played on AFM way before he ever landed his own show.

He's absolutely thrilled by this furry assortment -- and he can't stop giggling with joy at the chance to play what he considers to be THE BEST AWFUL SONG EVER!!!  It really has to be heard to be believed.

He's got so many aminal songy songs to play that he'll be kicking off an hour early.   Spin your ears over towards his general direction this Saturday, from 5pm to 8pm!
