Whooo! Kahn Man drops Season 5 Finale

Seems like its only been a century since Tyrone Kahn took up podcasting, but he’s actually concluded two seasons of the Kahn Man’s Comedy Corner.

As the Season 5 (including three seasons streaming on the Live365 network) Finale drops on iTunes, the excitable Kahn Man is already planning new business for his return in September.

For one thing, the Season 6 opener will introduce Tyrone’s latest single. Can’t tell you the title, but think Beatles parody, following his 2008 mega-hit Let Me Pee. Continue reading

David Tanny at war with Dementia, self

It sounds to me as if David Tanny’s trying a bit too hard to convince everyone that he’s having fun.

“We’re just havin’ fun, folks!” Dave pleads during yet another of his ephemeral new podcasts, the Fun 30 Countdown Show. “That’s all it is, is just fun, folks. It’s just fun, it’s all it is.”

Unfortunately, fun as a concept seems beyond Dave’s reach. In fact, he feels abandoned by his two true loves, the Dr. Demento Show and Top 40 radio. He’s searching for meaning in his life. Continue reading

Syndroming

David Tanny, the comedy music impresario, is a restless genius.

He’ll take one show, cut it up into three different shows, create an Internet radio station here, a podcast there…all to ensure his listeners remain in a constant state of confusion.

The sprawling, cluttered landscape known as DFSX Radio exists as a home for Dave’s nostalgic world view, where AM Top 40 survives in perpetual drive time, and Halloween song parodies and fake farts provide the soundtrack for Southern California’s endless summer. Continue reading

Dave drives the 405

David Tanny plays my songs on his podcast and various streaming radio programs and that’s all great, but lots of other shows play my songs.

What I like instead about David’s shows are the vast, seemingly interminable segments (aka D.T. Rants) where he explains the rules for his complicated David’s Top 10 ballot, or even better, when Dave introduces a concert review and then spends 10 minutes blithely describing his highway routes to and from the venue. Continue reading

It’s easy as M-P-3

When Mad Music Archive founder Captain Wayne abandoned early, uncertain efforts at podcasting and fled to streaming radio (gotta have that Weird Al!), he took a bunch of Demented music hosts with him, including David Tanny.

DT’s Mad Music Comedy Zone continues to stream on MMA, and on his revived Live365 channel, DFSXRadio.com. He’s added some old and new programming as well, although listener counts in the low dozens (on Live365) would make the project seem hardly worth the expense. But then, Dave’s always seemed like the kind of guy who enjoys talking to himself. Continue reading
