365 Days #42 - Peter Gault and Amy Rachelle - A Psycho-Sexual Incantation (mp3s)

MP3:

2 Peter Gault and Amy Rachelle - Constipation (1:31)

A DJ should never give away his trade secrets but, friends, for this one time, I am giving to you something I have played for years on WFMU's Anal Magic: the famous "I'm From Vagina" rant. You can thank the FCC for this gift. After Nipplegate, we were forced to yank anything dealing with sexual and excretory body parts and their respective functions, sexual or non-sexual. Hence, I was banned from playing this lovely ditty. In the same fell swoop, the FCC forced me to change the name of my show, then known as Anal Magic. It's now known as Intelligent Design. Thank you Michael Powell.

That said, these two over-the-top rants come from an erotica disc called "A Psycho-Sexual Incantation," which is an adaptation of Gault's novel "Knucklehead." The disc also doubles as a soundtrack for a performance art stage show.

I played this recently at a lecture I gave on music that can't be aired on the radio in the United States at last year's Third Coast Radio Festival in Chicago. After the lecture, a Canadian radio producer came rushing up to me to tell me that "I'm From Vagina" is really an allusion to "I'm From Regina", the Canadian province. Go figure.

Regina "The Vag", Saskatchewan

Everyone in Canada knows that babies come from Regina. By the way Regina is a city named for Queen Victoria, and is the capital of the province of Saskatchewan.

Thanks for this Kenny G! Come back to the radio!

[Regina's Maids]

I don't accept the story from the Canadian radio producer. Sometimes a vagina is just a vagina.

Hey Kenny, good to see a blog entry from ya. Many months ago, when "Anal Magic" became a taboo title, you did a show where you solicited new names for the program. I particularly enjoyed that show. Someone called in with "Banal Magic," which struck me as a great title. But "Intelligent Design" was a good name too.

[Henry Lowengard]

I was hoping you'd do a "vaginathon" like the Cakeathon... paging Eve Ensler!

[mayhnaus]

well, thank you very much for posting this!!

i remembered this piece very well, cause you used this on show, which was later available as "PLU + Kenny G - Nothing Special" CD..

for a few months i enjoyed the free mp3's from ubu.com, but than accidentally catch this CD at the local record shop - and i'm the happy owner :))

thanx again!

I've been to Regina two times too many, which is to say twice.

Ah, Regina ... conveniently situated smack-dab in the middle of an alkali flat more than 40 miles from the nearest body of water, its native name translates as "Pile Of Bones" - it was originally a buffalo graveyard. Go there (if you dare) & wonder at its infuriating labyrinth of one-way streets that turn a 15-block ride into a half-hour exercise in confusion. Ask yourself why anyone would let civil servants design & locate their provincial capitol so as to be so incredibly resistant to human habitation. Then nod your head knowingly when you hear the locals say for the umpteenth time that "the #1 export of Saskatchewan is people" ... any comparison with female anatomy is an insult to vaginas everywhere.
