"Hey! Whatever happened to Wllf Brimley?" is a question oft posed in letters to th' IoF©. Here's one from Sturdley Q. Kowznofski, Grease Pit, OR: "Hey! Whatever happened to Wilf Brimley?"sez Sturdley, echoed by Chyronette Fütz, Perineum, ND, who ax "Hey! Whatever happened to Wilf Brimley?" Well, Foameteers®, I'm here to set your fevered minds at rest! Since his untimely death at 107, T.V's Wilf [Bert Bupkiss in NBC's Bert's Bait Shop - Ed] has been riding his Pstairlift To Psychedelia right here on th' IoF©!
Today he has two treasures to share, brought back from his voyages into the Psychotropic Antipodes!
First up [above - Ed.] is Forty Watt Banana! Rare Indo-Jazz-Psych-Fusion from Kiwiland! Handsomely adorned with original sleeve - unavailable elsewhere!
Second helping [above - Ed.] is more sitar-soaked antipodean noodling from Sidney psychonaut Don Robertson! You certainly won't regret downloading today's dual deliverable!
This post funded in part by Kurt's Kangaroo Karnival, Oolowoolobongalong, Jumbuck County, Adelaide.
There's been a general easing of requirements for downloading for a while now. This results in softening of the brain, and a feeling that everything in life comes too easy. So, it's no more Mister Goodbar - going forward, you'll have to work - and work damn hard - to get the deliverables!
ReplyDeleteWe all know Fermat's Last Theorem (that there are no natural numbers 1, 2, 3,… x, y, and z such that xn + yn = zn, in which n is a natural number greater than 2), but what was his next to last theorem?
Damnit, I don't even know what a theorem is, but I do know my favorite colour is, green... no blue, definitely blue.
DeleteBambi, your first answer is wrong, and I have to take your first answer.
DeleteDid Wilf really tell PP "Your sweetness gives me the Die-beet-ness"?
ReplyDeleteOf course he did.
And is that a Wooly Fred Armison top center of the 40 Watt Banana bunch?
Swell commentage! The albums remain tantalisingly out of reach, though. And gee, are they ever swell!
DeleteMy favorite color is Paisley.
Delete"Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
Baby it's the sitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know, baby, it's the sitar man"

DeleteAnyone else reading this in stereo?
DeleteWhy make it harder to post these easy to find albums? It took 3 minutes to find these (and Alan Lorber) albums, where it took 300 years to find proof of Fermat's theorem.
ReplyDeleteFermat's last theorem is often mislabeled. His last theorem was that the margins in his book were too small to write an elegant proof of his previous theorem about th e impossibility to expand the theorem of pythagoras over n>2, n being element of N.
The proof was eventually given 1994 (Andrew Wiles), and indeed larger than would fit any margins in a book
Okay, my bad. I was trying to attract a higher class of grifter, and raise the level of debate above that of "Thanks! Can never have too much REO Speedwagon!".
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about Fermat's Next-To-Last-Theorem - what's your favorite color?
Narnia-blue
DeleteI have a huge backlog of music that I haven’t got round to hearing yet, TBH I come here mainly for the funny writing, and occasionally humourous comments (Anon is good on so many levels), if I grab a goodie download too then that’s a bonus.
DeleteI’m tightening my headband now in anticipation of some fine Speedwagon.
Hiya Farq!! Nuffink in life comes easy!! .. speshally life itself!! Fave colour - mm -- red!! Fermat?? Who's he!! .. n' I'm happy to be a high class grifter if'n it gets me some free moozik!!!
ReplyDeleteSee, this is what happens when you make the question too easy. It's like Black Friday sale day. Well, okay. The link will be up as soon as I stealth it into the piece!
ReplyDeleteStealthLink® embedded in text of piece - not in comments - two clues in this comment!
DeleteInteresting. Will Wilf share his stash so we can all enjoy this?
ReplyDeleteAsk [Ed.]
DeleteJesus! Babs is on vacation and your original question seems like it would be right in her wheelhouse. (I found an MIT paper on the subject) Mine? - not so much.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, from my meager attempt at research, it appears that Fermat's Last Theorem dates to 1637. I did not locate other theorems that predate that. Fermat's "Little Theorem" from 1640 translates from the original French as: If p is a prime and a is any integer not divisible by p, then a p − 1 − 1 is divisible by p.
I am really out of my comfort zone here. I was really more focused on caregiver PP; and what she is using that Cheez Whiz on the table by the stairs for.
My assistant gave me a different answer than Richard's. "Fermet's next-to-last theorem typically refers to the case n=4 of his Last Theorem." (huh?!? wouldn't that still be his "Last Theorem"?!?). "Fermat proved this case using his method of infinite descent around 1640. This result is significant because, by proving the theorem for n=4, Fermat was able to show that there are no solutions for all exponents that are multiples of 4."
ReplyDeleteI bet it would make a great film
ReplyDeleteFermat's next-to-last theorem is underrated, IMHO. Yes, it's a transitional theorem, without the big hits that made the last theorem his Sgt. Pepper, his Dark Side, his Rumours, but for many fans it has iconic status.
Delete[Ed.] has the link.
ReplyDeleteFound it, thank you.
ReplyDeleteKudos! Enjoy the albums - they're pretty good! The Oz's/Kiwis made some terrific (and authentic) Psychedelic music - the best outside the US/UK. Seemed to bypass France entirely - they had to wait until the 70s to get the 60s, and even then they got it wrong.
DeleteThanx for the very sneaky link, and BTW, favorite color: clear.
ReplyDeleteAfter Peter Sellers played sitar at the Pink Panther film there was not a record safe from the blighted pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteSome did good in the aftermath of the maelstrom but the music was flooded by novel international- sitar-in the picture guys.
Only Gauchos in our argentinian pampas seem spared of it. So far.
Bat
Peter Sellers. Never could stand him. Him and Gene Wilder. And James Stewart. And Powers Boothe.
DeleteMmmm, sitar. I've only heard 40WB's "Nirvana," and have forgotten the Don R which I sold many lifetimes ago. Thanks for the refreshments.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird how the Antipodeans made (and still make) psychedelia as authentic as the Yanks and the Limeys. It was always beyond mainland European bands.
ReplyDelete(Waits for the inevitable exceptions ...)
