Deputy Dang: yes. last week or the week before.
Cease : Does tweeny know about it
Deputy Dang: not sure. I forgot I have his email address somewhere. I think he tuned it at one point and I mentioned it, but I don't remember so well.
Deputy Dang: KMET is where I first heard The Dr Demento Show.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Get on it and do it every day!"
llanwydd: I first heard dr d on wnew in NYC
llanwydd: I believe I was in seventh grade
llanwydd: hard to believe this is a real commercial
llanwydd: I just had my car fixed and it took longer than one morning
Deputy Dang: There's a site, https://madmusic.com which has an archive of decades of Dr Demento. For a while, they had an agreement and you can download the old shows. But someone in the Dr D lawyers decided that wasn't good, so they're no longer available. You can still see the names of the songs and lyrics and such. They also host a bunch of comedy music shows.
llanwydd: I bet you could find most of those oldies on youtube
Deputy Dang: I was one of the earlier subscribers and helped develop the web site. Mostly I did testing.
Deputy Dang: You can find songs here and there, but not whole shows.
llanwydd: no, Im sure you wouldnt
llanwydd: WIND UP YOUR RADIO
