The new 2009 (yes, 2009) membership kit is out. No Al, but Basement Tapes #17 contains "Al's Band" if anyone still hasn't heard it and feels like shelling out $34.90. Hurry, better get it before the 2010 membership kit comes out in 2012.

Re: Al songs on Dr. Demento
I got a notice on facebook today that Dr. D is leaving "terrestrial" radio, and will be exclusively streaming on the internet. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. Search and iPod don't play well together.

Re: Al songs on Dr. Demento
So, that's it. No more Dr. Demento on any radio station, anywhere. The end of an era.
Tom Petty wrote this song eight years ago, but only now is it truly accurate.

Re: Al songs on Dr. Demento
Well, not entirely. He's still releasing shows on his website (http://www.drdemento.com) for about $3 an episode. The only things that are changing now that the show is off radio is that 1) he can now play whatever song he wants uncensored and 2) a lot less people will have the opportunity to hear it because really, who wants to pay for internet radio?
It is an end to an era most certainly, but the Dr. Demento Show has been declining in popularity for more than a decade, so this isn't exactly surprising. It's sad to say but I'd guess that without the income he gets from radio stations, the show probably won't last longer than the rest of the year, but don't hold me to that, for all I know he could be making new shows for another 30 years.

According to Al's Facebook status, he will sit down with his old pal, Dr. Demento, sometime today.

Re: Interview with Dr Demento =|:D#8
Nobody lives where Dr. Demento broadcasts anymore because he has stopped broadcasting on the radio. He's gone to a paid-download model on the internet, IIRC. Is it 2 bucks?
