I know it's the Beeper King, but what I'd give for another episode with "the tall, gangly, red haired guy who played guitar all the time" (Liz: "Conan").

Though only one of them knows the words to "Rainbow Connection."

Some shots of Jeff and the guest players: "The Unwelcome Guest" "The Long Cut" "Airline to Heaven" "Build Me Up Buttercup"

Carl offered two explanations for the song, and of course, the only one I can remember is the one about having sex with a white woman named Cecilia. Dan didn't say he was wrong, though.

Same here--I think the idea was to keep the night pretty low key and to see where the requests would lead. Hey, it's not like the requesters remembered a lot of those lyrics either. In no way did we lack for great music. [quote name='bb

I need to recover from my all-nighter and early flight home before I can upload my shots, but a nap is unlikely, as I keep grinning from ear to ear when I recall the events of the weekend: Rock 'n' Roll Hell, Hot Doug's, and of course, the show itself. Thanks to Jeff and Susan for their generosity (of spirit, patience, and time), and thanks to all the friends who put in the great requests, the amazing food, and the hearty sing-alongs. You're more fun than 60 pounds of pork cheeks.

No! It's Mothra and the singing twins, silly.

Substitute "comes" for "staggers" and you've summed up the few NP shows I've seen with Dan in the crew; maybe alcohol was the reason Dan didn't object to Carl's explanation for "Entering White Cecilia."

Whoa, that's huge, especially coming from you. One of my best friends already wears the title of World's Coolest Mom, but there's alway room for more. It's in the mail:

Next month, Mart! Is it too early to request "Band on the Run?" I'll also accept "Silly Love Songs."

At one point in my life, I wanted to marry Bob Mould. Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

I don't think we get that channel, but I will pray to the A/V gods of the Internet for a torrent/rip at some point in the near future.

Thanks for this.

Does anyone know where these shows will actually show up? MuchMusic perhaps?

Beautifully stated, and FWIW, I have a feeling these memories won't leave you anytime soon.

You're going to make a great Tupac, Judy!

I'm hoping someone shows up as Judy Garland.

"I'm looking for something that says 'Dad likes leather.'" "You mean... leather daddy?"

Me too! Good thing we both live in towns with large transvestite populations. I hope you're mic'd.

How's the karaoke situation?

I can picture the entire hard-hitting investigative series: --"MP3s: Do I Need to Get the MP1s and MP2s First?" --"MySpace: Yes, You Can Listen to Stuff in Between Friending Fake Sluts" --"iPods: But That's What They Said About the 8-Track and Look Where That Got Me!"

Can I call him "baby bitch" or is that privilege reserved for multitalented musicians living in New Jersey? Happy birthday, Frank! We miss you around these parts!

And Jarvis Cocker has been added to the festival too! Man, I won't know what to do with myself, not having to wait another 11 years for his return to the States.

Quyen or Huyen perhaps? I wish that stripper with my name still had a Web page. That was pretty fun to point people to.

I subscribe to the KEXP podcast--it's always nice to see what pops up from week to week. Especially when I'm too lazy to manually download.
