Play It Again, Chris: Chris Douridas, host of “Morning Becomes Eclectic” on radio station KCRW-FM (89.9), will continue to play the music of a Southland musician who concocted an elaborate hoax that embarrassed the radio personality while generating interest in the artist. Joey Altruda, composer and arranger of what Douridas described as a “kitschy Cuban jazz” record called “Cocktails for Joey,” delivered his music to Douridas last week in the form of a vinyl acetate, presenting it as a never-before-released 33-year-old album from a Cuban bandleader who was in failing health. Then, in a live phone interview that aired Monday, Douridas spoke unknowingly to actors who had been retained by Altruda to perpetuate the story of the dying bandleader. On Tuesday, Altruda apologized on the air to Douridas and his audience. “One side of me thought, ‘That was a brilliant publicity stunt,’ ” Douridas said, “but the other side of me kept coming back to [feeling offended]. . . . I felt used.”

Chris Douridas Busted for Roofies!

KCRW's superstar DJ, Chris Douridas was reportedly arrested on January 6 in an incident at the Circle Bar involving alcohol, roofies, and a 14 year old girl who had to be taken to a local hospital. He was released after posting $1,000,000 bail.

Anonymous wrote in the comment section:
Hey, anybody remember Crispy Doritos'last caper? His supposed discovery of a Cuban band leader, Ray Batado? September 1995. Read all about it 'cause it exposed him for the pompous cheating fraud he really is. See Los Angeles Times, L.A. Weekly, Jill Stewart in The L.A. Reader and the book by Garreth Branwyn "Jamming the Media". The prank involved lounge pioneers Joey Altruda,Joey Cheezhee, Pat Tierney and Scarface actor Al Israel and left pie all over Dourida's face when it not only exposed his lack of musical knowlege, but his conflict of interest featuring bands he represented at Dreamworks on the supposedly "non- profit radio station K[S]CR[E]W. He disapeared for awhile to lick his wounds, then crept back to prominance when the laughter died down. Look for the "Ray Batado/Chrispy Doritos Prank" coming soon to a record store near you.

Murder Most Fowl
by Blind Boy Grunt
lyrics by Lane Steinberg


It was the summer of 1921
Lounging in the San Francisco sun
Fatty Arbuckle was riding high
He could name his price, the limit was the sky
His latest film was a box office smash
So to celebrate he had a Labor Day bash
But by the end of the week he was sitting in a cell
His heavenly life had turned into hell

The smoke went up and the dogs did howl
The end of them chickens

Fatty wasn't having the best of times
He went to the station to service his car

And when he sat down he felt the heat
A nasty burn on both his cheeks
From a mile away they heard the shrieks
Still that party was booked and set

She followed him up the stairs holding a cup
Fatty didn't know he was being set up
They got in the room and she started to scream
Tearing off her clothes like in her crazy dream
Chicken's always been bred for food
Lotsa meat, they taste real good
But the breeders got greedy packed 'em in too tight

He ate a big meal and went off to bed

Willner was something of a role model for me. At a time when I was struggling professionally, he demonstrated that a creative person could make a living doing what he loved with music, and do it in so many different ways. Before there was a gig economy, he prospered on gigs. He didn't have a job title. He was Hal Willner.

@Carmichael Don't know about you but I'd certainly pay for a dvd reissue of that show.

Thank you Irwin! Hal Wilner was a steady Other Music customer and he was such a great guy and had the best taste in music. The shows he did with Lou Reed on BBC were wonderful too
