Fooled me until you mentioned the Laotian guerillas :-)

I hate you too...

I promised myself wouldn't get caught by an april fool prank this year, how could I suspect it would come from an "innocent podcast".

Nice one Brian.

Good weekend to all...

Nice! I knew Britney stole all her best songs! :)

BTW, you have a typo. You've got this listed as show #164 instead of 194.

You are one sick puppy. I fell for this. Hook, line and sinker. Even convinced a co-worker that Nirvana's "Come As You Are" was a cover.

Oops I did it again is what saved me from complete foolishness.

Bravo on an excellent job.

The giveaway initially was this being listed as #164 (which I'm assuming was deliberate.) Amusing overall, though. Alas, I'm being all wary today about April Fools gags.

I enjoy the show though.

You know what? I don't care if it WAS an April Fools gag...it was frickin' awesome!!!

I fell for it until you mentioned Engelbert Humperdink...NO ONE mentions Engelbert Humperdink unless there's a joke involved...

James Bean Royal Jelly Orchestra Variety Hour??!!!

I think I love you.

Fab show, Brian.

You had me until the sitars kicked in on Safety Dance. It was plausible until then!

Well done, as always. Thanks!

I was trying to decide how to break it to my "massive zepplin fan" buddy that 'Stairway..' was a cover when the little voice in the back of my head wouldn't shut up about 'come as you are' being Kurt's song. Almost compleatly snowed me. Good show Brian!

Brian, you got me hook, line and sinker. I survived April 1st, but not April 2nd (the time it was available in Australia)

I don't understand why everyone says this was an April Fool's edition, I thought all these nifty originals were just awesome. I always thought Jagger and Richard wrote "Honky Tonk Women," was there ever a lawsuit over that?

By the way, I've never been able to get a clean feed of your Feb. 2 show, mine keeps skipping back to the beginning. Is there anything special I need to do to fix that?
