Neil Hamburger, Dr. Demento, Dengue Fever (Office Hours+ Episode 285)
Added 2024-02-15 16:00:10 +0000 UTCEnjoy this legendary leeeegendary Office Hours with triumphantly returning guest host Neil Hamburger, the real Dr. Demento in the flesh in our studio (!!) and LA Cambodian psych rockers Dengue Fever performing "Touch Me Not" (1:02:24) from their new album "Ting Mong" and "Uku" (1:14:35). The fun was abundant with Doug's new novelty songs (31:19), a Dr. Demento quiz (36:00), metal detecting stories with Zac Holtzman (aka Dr. San from On Cinema) (1:35:28), Tim H zooming in to reveal his flight number (2:02:45), and lots of YOU on zoom. Starts @ 1:48.

One of my favorite OHLs. One of the reasons I joined was to watch the full Dengue Fever performance again. It was cool that Zak talked about his run on OCATC a bit, lol. Dr. Demento and Neil Hamburger sharing the same room was surreal. I wonder if the Doctor ever played any Amarillo LP's on his show?

2024-02-22 22:04:35 +0000 UTCThere's a whole Lily Tonkin and John Travonka Movie that's been lost and missing that a certain Mr. Hamburger has in possession.

2024-02-18 04:04:34 +0000 UTCI love that despite the fact that Neil shows disdain to almost everyone, he clearly had a lot of respect for Dr. D.

2024-02-17 04:09:51 +0000 UTCDengue Fever should mix in a world series of poker commercial into their album. It sounded dope.

2024-02-16 17:54:39 +0000 UTCMy mind exploded when I realized Dr. San was in Dengue Fever! Love these connections. Randomly just started watching “After Party” and in Tiffany Haddish’s character episode back in time, Joey P was a cop for a quick cameo, is he also in a band I should know!?!

2024-02-16 16:57:25 +0000 UTCThis is a great episode, it’s always a joy when Neil Hamburger is at the controls. Is anyone else getting ads off the YouTube link? Maybe it’s some trash move on YT’s part but it’s a drag! (And I don’t mean Drag City, the fine label that has released many fantastic Neil Hamburger records)

2024-02-16 07:57:46 +0000 UTCI wish Mr. Hamburger could come back again next week if Tim is still gone. He's the best!
