who is this hilariously funny orchestra?

I thought of The Portsmouth Sinfonia as well. I had their first LP from the 70's and currently have a CD compilation of British comedy which contains several of their more memorable performances including the opening to Zarathustra and an orchestral rendition of the overture to "Tommy."

There is an old shaded dog called "Bob And Ray Throw A Stereo Spectacular" (available on CD) Which has some of this stuff on it. Very high quality recording and a lot of fun. I think it was on HP's list back in the day.

At first I though of Spike Jones, but those guys were actually good. :-)

Kurt, how can you listen to that imbecile Greg Kihn? ;-) His whorish pimping of any and every product du jour is even sappier than his lousy music. Oy...

AFAIK, the Bob and Ray cut is from one of the Guckenheimer LPs.

Hey 4yanx!

Care to suggest another radio station in the Bay Area?

We have NO good radio stations, especially in the morning in the entire Bay Area! (My friend who moved here from Seattle just shakes his head about the crummy stations here!)

Live 105 (New Rock) sucks beyond comprehension. I am sick to death of Howard Stern. He is so f#cking boring. His shtick is the same day after day, after day, after day, after day. Gee, he has a naked girl on the radio, ooh, how original. Except for the fact that he had a naked girl on the day before, and the day before that, etc.....
When he isn't on, they play a significant percentage of rap music. (Yuck!!)

104.9 (The other new rock station) is slightly better, but not much. Their DJs are morons, making Greg Kihn look like Einstein. Plus, they also play even more rap music. (Double Yuck!!)

KSJO (Rock) has Mikey. Nuff said there? (A Howard Stern wannabe. And a bad one at that!) Better music though, and no rap music. Yeah!

KFOG's program director should be stood against the wall and shot; his programing is so boring. My 3 year old has better taste than that. (I might as well be listening to KOIT, the light rock station!) And their DJs are so liberal that they make Barbara Boxer look like a Republican. (yuch!!)

I have been reduced to either listening to Classic Rock with Greg Kihn or just listening to the news station.

(Yeah, I know I could listen to Classic Rock with Lamont and Tanneli on "The Bone", and I do sometimes, but I have gotten rather tired of their shtick as well. While they were on KSJO they at least had a better music selection.)

Why is there not a decent new rock station, that does NOT play f#cking rap music, or have some lame DJ's (that talk way too f#cking much!) in the entire bay area?!

SOMEBODY, HELP US, PLEASE!!!
