Hi Matt and all! I've been to 3 NOLA Mardi Gras, crazy times and some of my best memories. Thank you for the sweet tunes!

I could listen to Bob and Ray for the rest of the show, but Matt probably had other plans.

I can't even stress how much better this show is than the Superfund site Citizens Advisory Group meeting that I also have in my headphones.

↳ Song: "Wally Ballou Visits an Adult Tap Dancing School" ...
To think I was on the fence about including a comedy bit in my fill-in next week! To clarify, I mean thanks for convincing me it's a really stupid idea — i.e., I will definitely play it.

What? Huey! I had no idea!!

Gaylord, I was at a scholarly publishing mixer tonight, and a fellow saw my WFMU shirt and asked "Is Gaylord still there?" He had great FMU memories going back to the Upsala days and after talking for a while agreed that he was going to start listening a lot more again.

And Raquel Welch, who I don't recall singing the blues, but she did a movie with Bill Cosby, so maybe she had a reason to...

According to Dr. Ike, it's hard to have one when so many of the people he'd want to honor have passed away. And he feels it would be a different event if it featured younger acts.

Hey Gaylord! Thanks for observing tonight so you know what not to do next week.

That's pretty cool. I tend to cower from people wearing WFMU T-shirts in the wild.

My idea was same songs different order, but I'll come up with something new if not original, I guess.

Good point! It's a sort of social filter.

Yeah Gaylord I'm with you. Saw a scientist with an FMU tee at work once and his outward appearance made me scared. Not sure what it all means at this point

I do admit that eagerness to interact with WFMU-branded folks increases the farther away I am from home base when I spot it. I'm gonna avert my eyes in NYC, nod at someone in a WFMU shirt in LA, and hug someone wearing one in Istanbul.

THREE FEET HIGH AND RISING was given to me at age 10 and was probably the first rap / hip hop album I ever posessed. What an introduction to the form, in that it was so uniquely its own. I can't wait for iht to hit spotify in a month (dare i say it).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:50pm
listener 126464:

To me, 3 ft. high is up right there at the top with first 2 television albums.

They are re-releasing all their albums finally so you can own a copy again..if ya need.

McGroovey:

Funny-- I might be a couple years too young to care about De La Soul. People I knew in college liked them, but they were younger than me. I was aware of De La Soul because those people were talking about them, but I never listened to them on purpose myself. They might have been one of the many current anonymous pop things in the air that I might have heard coming out someone else's stereo at a party, or while in I was shopping somewhere.

I myself was listening to noisy guitar music and old time jazz.

Guess I'm the same age as you Matt because I remember Three Feet High being on the turntable at a friend's first apartment in the last year of High School. Total era definer.

Great set!! Superfluous! A revelation!

Irwin:

You know what's wrong with your show, Matt? I'll tell you what's wrong with your show. It's got one BIG problem, and I hope you fix it. Because it spoils an otherwise fine listening experience. The problem with your show is that it's TOO DAMN SHORT. There, I said it. Do something about it. Please. We listeners don't deserve to be shortchanged week after week.
