Animal Farm (#78)

Source is here. Originally recorded on October 16, 1997.

Still buried deep in the heat of the summer (at least right now), I arrive at a fall recording from 1997. Fall around here means the State Fair, and while rides and deep fryers and sham-wows are pretty good, the State Fair is an agricultural event, full of living examples of edible critters from around the state. I was fairly certain that was the intent of this show, until I heard the dog barking.

It's probably still the intent of this show. This show is thick with animal sounds of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. A cacophony from start to finish, with touches of appropriate music in various places.

  1. We fall fubftitute the f for the s
  2. I heard the best dogs of my generation baying at the moon
  3. Cats, big and small
  4. Monkey Business
  5. Robot cow flyby unsettles the dogs
  6. The scientists converse about birdcalls
  7. Grotto
  8. Grotto to Beerhall transition
  9. Beerhall or Farmhouse Hoedown?
  10. Hyenas and Cows
  11. Cows and Elephants
  12. Birds in the Night
  13. The Steel Guitar Carries Me Home
