...It goes on and on, my friends.

I'm Learning to Share! demonstrates once again why it's my favoritist 'blog of the next 15 minutes with this excellent post featuring the swingin' jazz stylings of Dave Lambert's cover of that evergreen (or is it everpalm?) staple of Exotica, Hawaiian War Chant. He also turns our earbuds on to the completely over-the-top 2-hour Hawaiian War Chant Extravaganza by New York Public Radio's Dave Garland, featuring every conceivable version ever recorded: punk, Klezmer, electronica, surf, lounge, vintage Hapa Haole, and too many more to list here. I'm just miffed that the link to the commemorative Spinning On Air diploma is broken. How else am I supposed to prove I survived listened to the whole thing?

My favorite version of HWC? Spike Jones', of course.

UPDATE: I sent an e-mail to WNYC asking, nay beseeching, them to fix the broken link to the Spinning On Air diploma. It took a while, but they graciously informed me today that the link is now up and running again, so those of you who listened to the program in its entirety may now download the reward you so richly deserve.
