Next caller.

Whew, lucky we were on tape delay.

What do you mean, you'd rather hear Rick Dees scratching his fingernails on a chalkboard?


[KOER Synthetica Radio Transcripts]
Hope you're enjoying the Rarities show here on KOER, the place where you'll hear songs that you WON'T hear anywhere else - guaranteed. Let's look at what you've heard so far this hour.

We started off with the Finnish pressing of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence," with Andrew Fletcher singing lead. Now someone has already called in and said that I actually played the even rarer Finnish pressing of "Enjoy the Silence" with Vince Clarke singing lead. I had to point out to the caller that Clarke's version, in which the vocals were recorded backstage in Glasgow, includes some muffled cursing from Gahan. Fletch's version was recorded at his restaurant, which explains the crashing plates heard during the second chorus. They can only do harm, INDEED.

After that we heard a true gem - Gary Numan's version of Cyndi Lauper's "Material Girl." As you know, this was recorded in 1997 in a bar in Orem, Utah. Luckily for us, Phil Spector was at the same bar and did a remix on the spot. He passed on doing any massed overdubs because he had to skip town suddenly.

I hope you guys liked the last two songs we played, from the Guns N Roses tribute band Buns N Boozers, formed late one night in West Hollywood by Lindsay Lohan on vocals, Flea on bass, and of course Slash on guitar. No, Karen Carpenter did not play drums on this cut, but I don't know who did. I think Lindsay did a decent job with "Patience," but she was a little weak on "November Rain."

Coming up next hour - an all Paris Hilton extravaganza!

[NOTE: WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, KOER WAS FLOODED WITH CALLS FROM MADONNA FANS REGARDING THE INCORRECT IDENTIFICATION OF THE SINGER OF "MATERIAL GIRL." THE DJ ON DUTY, ONTARIO EMPEROR, IS BANNED FROM KABBALAH CEREMONIES FOR THE NEXT 70 YEARS.]
