Jeff Palmer on The Wrong Side of the Tracks

Tonights guest was Jeff Palmer, AKA DJ Jammy Pants/Cheese/Banana Man/
David Lunch. He and I hosted a talk show for a year & 1/2 around
'04-'05 called 'Cheese & Crackers' but it's been a few years since we've been on the air together.

He's a busy guy, doin' lotsa stuff- paintings, film, soy milk, making his own crackers & bits of uncomfortably funny madness...
Check him out @ www.flickerpictures.com AND www.davidlunch.com

here's the playlist plus poem for the evening:

1. JENNY JENKINS- sleep with evil

charles bukowski
"BEER" from LOVE IS A DOG FROM HELL

i don't know how many bottles of beer
i have consumed while waiting for things
to get better
i don't know how much wine and whiskey
and beer,
mostly beer
i have consumed after
splits with women-
waiting for the phone to ring,
waiting for the sound of footsteps,
and the phone to ring
waiting for the sound of footsteps,
and the phone never rings
until much later
and the footsteps never arrive
until much later
when my stomach is coming up
out of my mouth.
they arrive as fresh as spring flowers:
"what the hell have you done to yourself?
it will be 3 days before you can f*** me!"

the female is durable
she lives seven and one half years longer
than the male and she drinks very little beer
because she knows it's bad for the figure.

while we are going mad
they are out
dancing and laughing
with horny cowboys.

well, there's beer
sacks and sacks of empty beer bottles
and when you pick one up
the bottle falls through the wet bottom
of the paper sack
rolling
clanking
spilling gray wet ash
and stale beer,
or the sacks fall over at 4 am
in the morning
making the only sound in your life.

beer
rivers and seas of beer
the radio singing love songs
and the phone remains silent
and the walls stand
straight up and down
and the beer is all there is.

2. DEVENDRA BANHART- the body breaks
3. JIM JAMES & CALEXICO- goin' to acapulco (soundtrack I'M NOT THERE) 4. AGENT RIBBONS- the boy with the wooden lips
5. M.WARD- human punching bag
6. EDITH FROST- are you sure?
7. THE INTELLIGENCE- how to improve your hearing without listening
8. NOBUNNY- chuck berry holiday
9. ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI- it's 5!

...for the record...i have never been afraid to drink too much beer in fear of losing my figure.
