The title is a mouthful. It's my tribute album. I have mentioned before that my favorite Beatles song is "Revolution #9", I have numerous references to Douglas Adams and The Firesign Theater, and a long standing love for " Bullwinkle and Rocky", so here it is. The title is a dead rip from "Waiting for the Electrician(...)", and then there's the idea of a night club on a different Planet where Vogon Poetry is featured. The voices throughout are backwards tracks from radio broadcasts (shortwave, AM & FM), as well as a speach by President Obama. Their were initially over 50 tracks, which were combined for obvious reasons. Many of the tracks titles are from various sections of " The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ", with a few different titles, one is the only line ever used by both Firesign Theater and Monty Python's Flying Circus, one then there's "Revolution #9" backwards.
The overall idea stems from too many weird gigs, including walking into a corner bar and finding a dysfunctional group of people on stage arguing and playing. I would be hard pressed to describe how I did this one. I would have to go section by section of each track to figure it out. I consider this to be the Oenyaw comedy album, laid out like an all night musical play. I really enjoyed making it, and still laugh while listening. It, too, is being repaired.
