RC 175: The Viv and Neil Show (Bonzo Dog Band)

[fingertrouble]

Those that liked the depression just might like this - a journey through the life and times of the Bonzo Dog Band, specifically Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes.

And yes I finally made show 175! Woohoo! Only like, 2 months late...



Doo-dah, dada, dog. Radio Clash 175 is a special show which commemorates two great songwriters and performers - that original ginger geezah Vivian Stanshall and the Seventh Python (I bet he hates that term) Neil Innes, the former who sadly died in 1995, and their legacy of arty chaotic jazz/pop/psychedelic silliness and melancholy that probably only the English really get...as much rooted in the 20's than the 60's and 70's, but strange and insane in any timeframe.

Can't wait to give this a listen after work - the tracklisting looks especially well-chosen. I do love that cover of Button Up Your Overcoat - keep meaning to do an MFMO version of it...
