They're selling postcards of the hanging,
They're painting the passports brown . . .
Stuck in my head for several weeks running.
Desolation Row. Freaking brilliant song.

Holy crap! I did not think you were old enough to have heard KPRI! Severely impacted my musical choices esp. electronica and synth music of a wide variety. My kids called me avant garde and still appreciate the bizarre influence they had playing in the background. My oldest loved Tomita's take on Holtz at 6 months and later appreciated Tangerine Dream. I've spent way too much money back in the day chasing the dragons of synth heaven. Still have an old English pump organ, perfect for the Fugue in D Minor. Or House of the Rising Sun. Still have 6 keyboards, just mouldering away. Like me....For a few years when I was just a little guy, I’d listen to an independent radio station that played just about everything, a little outfit on 102.1 FM MHz called KPRI. The station is long off the air, with the callsign apparently being used by an unrelated entity now operating out of a local Indian reservation. But every now and then I get fragments of a melody or perhaps a single lyric stuck in my head, usually one that would return a bunch of hay if I were to go looking for the song it’s from that is the needle.
I’m glad it’s not just me.
Yeah some of the stuff on there was really weird. I mainly listened to it at night while trying to get to sleep, and that was mainly because it was the clearest station I could get in my room. You can’t even imagine the dreams it would provoke, bedtime sent me to LSD land!Holy crap! I did not think you were old enough to have heard KPRI!

I remember my first exposure to Tomita's Planets... Memories of it sparked a thread somewhere here on TRF.Holy crap! I did not think you were old enough to have heard KPRI!

…how?Worse than part of a song? A song that doesn't exist.
Once I had the lyrics of Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right" to the tune of Polly Wolly Doodle stuck in my head for weeks.
My favorite Zappa Lp for sure.Frank Zappa is always running around in my head. I listened to so much of it in college I could sing along. In the car only. When I take a road trip I take several Zappa CD's with me. Today I heard Apostrophe. One of my favorites.
Still got the John Farnham song on virtual repeat...
Now you've got it in my head too.And all the world is biscuit shaped,
It’s just for me to feed my face,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five…
That saves me a lot of money since I don't have to buy CDs anymore.Hear it once, and it will never go away. So I try to avoid hearing it.
