Let’s Get Weird – March 27, 2024
Ever wake up, look outside, and question reality before coffee kicks in? Yeah, me too. One minute, you’re in that dreamy in-between state where the world is half-formed… and the next, a house is driving down the street. (Still not entirely convinced I wasn’t hallucinating.)
That moment—combined with a relentless earworm by The Great Luke Ski—was the spark for this show. Oh, and let’s not forget a photography class assignment that once terrified and confused my instructor (shoutout to Tom, who affectionately dubbed me his wild one).
It’s been one of those weeks. My body and I are not on speaking terms, food is the enemy, and I probably should’ve been in the hospital. But instead, I was here, making an Audities Show—a mix of novelty, experimental, and sound-collage weirdness, all very much in the spirit of Dr. Demento.
And because this week was extra weird, we had a world premiere from Beachfront Vinny, featuring yours truly—DJ Tea—and, of course, the legendary Mr. Announcer Man. Chicky Boom!
So buckle up, buttercup—it’s time to get really weird.

Show Notes & The full playlist: {Links Are Pink!}
First Set: Opening the Portal to Weirdness
• The Great Luke Ski – Everybody Get Weird (feat. Art Paul Schlosser) [Remix]
Theme song for this episode because… well, obviously.
• John W. Christensen – I Get Weird (2010 Remaster)
If you don’t relate to this song, you’re listening to the wrong show.
• Tones On Tail – Slender Fungus
Sounds like something that would play in a club full of supernatural creatures drinking glowing cocktails.
• Raymond Scott, Go Home Productions, The Bran Flakes & The Evolution Control Committee – Powerhouse
A fever dream of sound. Also, if robots had anxiety, this would be their theme song.
Second Set: Drifting into a Parallel Dimension
• David J & Tim Newman – Raintown
A poetic journey through an imaginary rainy town where time is… optional.
• King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Dreams (feat. Yu Su)
Music to astral project to.
• David J & Tim Newman – All Colours of Earth
A psychedelic hug in audio form.
• I Monster – Colourspill
Ever watched paint drip in slow motion? That, but music.
• David J & Tim Newman – Entering the Underworld
Nothing ominous about that title, nope, not at all.
David J Bandcamp
• Whitewoods – When Cameron Was in Egypt’s Land
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, but make it existential.
• Bruce Haack – Captain Entropy
If a children’s TV host from another galaxy taught physics.
• Wax Tailor – Fear of a Blind Planet
A hauntingly smooth track that sounds like a secret agent mission gone wrong.
• Negativland – There Is No Planet
A reminder that reality is just a suggestion.
• Elliott Smith – Ostrich and Chirping
Yes, you read that correctly. It’s Elliott Smith… but, like, experimental.
• Negativland – Either Or
A sound collage that makes you question everything. And nothing.
• Negativland – Don’t Don’t Get Freaked Out
Advice that is impossible to follow while listening to this.
• Asteroid City Cast – Dear Alien (Who Art In Heaven)
Wes Anderson meets a UFO cult.
• Donzii – Crash Landing (Mr Twin Sister Remix)
If disco and a dystopian sci-fi film had a baby.
• POW! – Dream Decay
If dreams decayed like overripe fruit, this is how they would sound. {I can't really explain it, but I consulted AI, and this was its best suggestion.}
• The Evolution Control Committee – Spandau Filet
More samples than a Costco on a Saturday afternoon.
Third Set: The Weirdness Intensifies
• I Monster – The Weather
Not an actual weather report, but it should be.
• Seksu Roba – Telephone
The soundtrack to waiting on hold in another dimension.
• Geneva Jacuzzi – Casket
Glamorous, eerie, and probably a vampire’s favorite song.
• People Soup & I Monster – Come Out Biting
The perfect song to play before a zombie apocalypse.
People Soup {Bandcamp}
• Snakefinger – Smelly Tongues
If you know, you know. If you don’t… brace yourself.
• The Spleen Orchestra – Beetlejuice
The circus is in town, and it’s haunted.
Fourth Set: Existential Breakdance Party
• Ratatat – Mandy
Instrumental bliss with just enough groove to keep you grounded.
• Love and Rockets – God and Mr. Smith
Like getting life advice from a mystical beat poet.
• The Bubblemen – The Bubblemen Are Coming
They warned us. We didn’t listen. {This video and song have always been a favorite of mine} HurRaY!
• Brian Eno – The Big Ship
Pure atmosphere. Feels like floating through space.
• Beachfront Vinny – Pre Chicky Boom Intro
A dramatic lead-up to the main event.
• Beachfront Vinny, Sgt. Montgomery F. Bates, Princess Daverino, Buddy Daverino & Mike “Tough Guy” McGhee – Chicky Boom (feat. DJ Tea, Mr. Announcer Man & Alan “Jax” Bowers)
An absolute fever dream. And I was in it.
