I am the former Washington National Utility and fielder, ReadyKilly. Seriously, I I got to my first NAT game in a couple years over this half weekend. You know, with 86 degrees on Saturday, the next day with 46 dry. So anyway, I'm glad I went on Saturday, even though they lost in 12 minutes. But just one word of advice. Go to the ballpark. Do not drink hand margaritas. I was feeling it after the ballgame, and it's not good if you have problems with sugar. Your A1C would jump, and I'm trying to manage diabetes at my old age here. So that's been my public service announcement. We'll get away from that. We know where the Northern Virginia band Old Knife is gonna be next week. They're gonna be at that benefit of Wednesday night examining Java for survivors.org. This song is from a 2023 live show at the Fort Reno Concert Cities Cities series. It's Old Knife with social suicide.

And I need you for the child and watch your time.

SPEAKER_07 31:34

The pages are blowing away in the song golden eye out of a crystal bloom from around the corner of my street arises this vision of you. You were walking with your best friend, you were waving hello, and return back with a look that made my heart down till it broke. My head up against the window glass and the full moon in my heart. I put break from the spell. Anytime I want I put the youth for step inside of my skin, like the head, so what's up, I put the nook and right through me.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

It's his fourth album. Before that, Mel Not Bad, doing Wichita Linemen. Mel Not Bad, a solo project of LA musician Mel Hauser, covering what Tom Dillon once called the greatest song ever written. Jimmy Webb wrote it. Glenn Campbell performed it, of course, as have many musicians and singers over the years. We started out with Old Knife, Social Suicide, recorded in 2023. They're a Northern Virginia band, playing next Wednesday night, April 29th, at Jam and Java and piano, along with uh several other bands we play this evening. We played Jim Marie earlier, we've got a couple other bands that we're gonna be playing during our next set. You're listening to the Ready Kilowatt Hour on Radio Fairfax from Rattleboro, Vermont.

SPEAKER_08 43:31

I'm not still happy that I just need more money. I go back to switch the keys for my policies. Lie lie is all I care when you say I be free. Lie lie a free. I didn't just see the five years ago, but it's probably seek for home.

SPEAKER_07 44:04

Now you'll realize how many glass really commonline corporate I'm thinking of that dialogue which is a very important thing.

SPEAKER_08 45:00

SPEAKER_01 48:29

Go away. From an album from 2014 called Everything will be alright in the end. Let's hope so. It was their ninth studio album, the female finger on that definitely female from the end. Weezer's coming back to the end of it on October 2nd at the Capital One Arena. Before that we heard modern native. I'm not a rapist. And you know, I keep singing lie lylie. I look forward to singing along. On that tune when they're human job on Wednesday. You know, they are the only band in that show that's not from the DC area. They were dual from South Florida. I think they've lived in Alaska. And I think currently they're living up in Hudson Valley in Update, New York. I believe that's gonna be the show on Wednesday is gonna be their first show of their spring tour. Before that, we heard the otherworldly Shelly Star in the Galaxy doing Battery Baby from their album from a few years ago. And they're gonna be at that show next Wednesday, Javin Java as well. We started out with King Top from Vermont, also known as Kyle Comic. The latest album from King Tok is called Moon. And uh they love Kyle and Vermont, so eventually somebody had to make an album called Moon. The song with Fair Way to Nowhere. You're listening to the Ready Kilowatt Hour on Radio Fair Fact. We are gonna take it to the top of the hour now with uh the last song of the evening is gonna be Alice Cooper. And sure enough, the song is called Last Man on Earth.

SPEAKER_07 50:29

I don't know why my whole world came crashing down. I just woke up in lonely town. I opened up my eyes, and much to my surprise, look at this heaven that I found. Don't need to care about tomorrow. I got no pain, I got no sorrow, a first man on earth. So tell me what it's worth. Am I a beggar or a king? Got no trouble, got no time. Eternity is mine. I got a whole lot of everything. I can take this town and just burn it to the ground. Smash every window that I see. I can smoke, I can drink, I can swear, and I can stink. There ain't no one to bother me. No no Don't need to care about tomorrow. I got no pain, I got no style, I'm the best man on earth. So tell me what it's worth. Am I a beggar or a king? Got no trouble, got no time. I got a whole lot of breath. That's all mine. But that's okay, I don't know. I don't want it worth. I'm everything is fine. Cause I'm the king of It's all mine. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.

SPEAKER_01 53:57

Woo! That's an exhausting tune to listen to. That's Alice Cooper from a 2011 album called Welcome to My Nightmare Two, or as it's sometimes called Welcome to My Nightmare with the Number Two. Released on the 30th anniversary of the original Welcome to My Nightmare, a song that featured his original band and his original producer, Bob Ezrin. The melody itself is from an old Yiddish song from 1932 called A Mirror Bistu Shane, which means Mir Beautiful. That was made famous by the Andrew Sisters in 1937. So, Alice Cooper more sophisticated than we think. And with that little piece of nostalgia that probably predates everybody listening to this show. And if it doesn't, I don't know what you're doing listening to this show, but anyway, I'm glad you're here anyway. It is time to unplug the Ready Kilowatt Hour for another week. A reminder you can stream our old shows at readykradio.butsprout.com and also on your favorite podcast apps. We're going to be back on Radio Fairfax next Thursday night at 9 with both rock and roll. And we are going to have a tribute to Dave Mason, who sadly passed away this past Sunday. Dave Mason, one of the founding members of Traffic, and performed a lot of artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and many others. And you might see me next Wednesday night over at Jam and Java with four of the artists who play this evening on the Ready Kilowatt Hour. Until next week, it's Ready J Kilowatt, your rock and roll servant. Stay well, stay safe. And please don't kill anyone. Good night.
