Oh, Mr. Gallagher!

Via WFMU's Antique Phonograph Music Program comes this recording of "Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean", sung by Ed and Al themselves. I've heard more than a few recordings of this song, including another from the team, but this one is completely new to me, and so are the (definitely of their time) lyrics!

The Shemp Meditation Tapes

Straight from WFMU to your temporal lobe via your ear canals: The Shemp Meditation Tapes, volumes one and two! WFMU had copies for sale back in the day but I missed out when they ceased doing catalog business. But now, here they are in all their Shemptastic glory.. for free! Says Shemp Meditation Tape(s) creator Dave the Spazz: "Recommended for new age nitwits and chucklefucks alike....scientifically mixed in Shemp-A-Rama for your enlightened casaba-banging pleasure.... Soar the Horwitz heavens and become one with Shemp's karma on the Heee Beee Beee Beee side... transhempify your mind and cook your chakras on the life-infirming Ahh Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha side." Volume two features the pleasantly Warholesque Sleep, but I personally prefer the multi-textured complexities of Pain.
