The Michael Nesmith Radio Special Special (Dept.)

There's a Grand Prize for the first to add the sleeve notes to the comments!



Wiki tells it thus:

"In 1980, Pacific Arts issued The Michael Nesmith Radio Special to promote Nesmith's latest album Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma. Because Infinite Rider was originally released as a multimedia project, the radio special was designed to increase awareness of Nesmith's audio-visual productions, as well as promote the album.

The radio special comprises segments of an interview with Nesmith intercut with tracks from Infinite Rider. During the interview, Nesmith discusses The Monkees, his first public acknowledgement of his former band since the dedication on his 1970 album, Magnetic South.

As with many of Nesmith's compositions, the title of his songs were often indefinite. When he recorded the radio special, Nesmith had yet to finalize the song titles for Infinite Rider and the alternate track names are listed along with the interview.

Currently, the only copies of The Michael Nesmith Radio Special are available on LP (Pacific Arts #PAC7-1300), which was a limited release and is difficult to find. "

  1. Boyoboyoboyoboy! This may be a FoamExclusive©, I dunno. But it's as rare as an appearance by John F. Kennedy Jr. at a QAnon gathering.

    To qualify for this once-in-a-lifetime treat, simply name the fruit in this list of tasty and nutritious foodstuffs:

    Tomato
    Banana
    Potato

    1. I am told the tomato is the fruit, or perhaps you prefer to-mah-to. Tuber and herb round it out?

      Thanks to all on this site for the continuing Nesmith!

    2. How do you think the banana feels about this?

      (herb is a nice try, but wrong) (apparently)

  2. Hey - I just noticed the arrangement of vowels in that list:

    O-A-O
    A-A-A
    O-A-O

    I'm, like, oh wow, man.

    1. Yes, the banana is a berry. The tomato is a swell-looking dame, and the potato is, according to the Urban Dictionary, a broad wit' low self-esteem. So a bit of a trick question there.

      But a link is always a link.

    2. Knowledge is recognising that a tomato is a fruit.
      Wisdom is knowing that you don't serve it with custard.

  5. Is this a Betty White kinda question? Banana, of course. I know there is a very sweet 'fruit tomato', but still tomato is vegetable.

    1. Sorry Tak, but your incorrect answer prevents you and all the other losers from using the loaddown link. Harsh? Perhaps. I don't make the rules.

    2. Speaking of rules, I just read an interesting article on the unspoken rules of sign language.

  6. Never put your bananas in the refrigerator.
