Fri. 2/1/08 9:12am Parq:

Is there a diff btw/ calypso and colypso?

Fri. 2/1/08 9:18am Parq:

Oh. A typo. I should have guessed. Doug, excuse my under-caffeinated befuddlement.

Fri. 2/1/08 9:23am Paul Sherratt:

Parq,
Here have a Lavzzza blend fresh off the stove and in a genuine Cafe du Monde mug ( circa 1987 )

Fri. 2/1/08 9:26am Paul Sherratt:

Or Lavazza indeed, not some product placed in Bee Movie !

Fri. 2/1/08 9:27am Mickey Mephistopheles:

Saki? (One word short story author)

Fri. 2/1/08 9:27am Parq:

Paul, personally acquired? How'd ya like Ne'Orleans?

Fri. 2/1/08 9:44am Paul Sherratt UK:

Parq,
We made a couple of trips to N.O. for Jazzfest just as ( it seemed to me ) was starting to turn a bit corporate. Loved the city and it provided one of THE nights that I can still remember .. - a young Rebirth Brass Band in the legendary Glass House.

Fri. 2/1/08 9:54am Daniel:

I love this song. Makes me miss the west.

Fri. 2/1/08 9:57am Bill:

Hell, I'm not from the west and it makes me miss it.

Fri. 2/1/08 10:01am Cecile:

I would miss it, except I know I would have been one of the ones buried by the side of the trail...

Fri. 2/1/08 10:04am Daniel:

Yeah, I guess that's the point. Missing the vanishing West. It has the feeling of big, beautiful open spaces, i guess that's what i miss.

Fri. 2/1/08 10:05am Cecile:

Can you play something from Dan Penn's weird psychedelic album? I can't remember the name...

Fri. 2/1/08 10:06am Cecile:

I agree, Daniel, it's the expanses of really beautiful, unspoiled land...

But I'm like a mouse or a bug, I gotta live where there are humans.

Fri. 2/1/08 10:09am Cecile:

I think I wanted to say I was a city mouse.

Thanks, Doug! Love Dan!

FWIW, it was probably the lyrics that got the Zunou Keisatsu album banned. Songs had titles like "Hymn of the Red Army soldier" and "Take up arms". This was during the days when groups like the Japanese Red Army Faction were coming out.

Fri. 2/1/08 10:34am Doug:

That last long, ridiculously amazing track just came in an email about 10 minutes before I started this Japanese set. Don't know anything about it, but we have listener Kashima to thank for it. Wow!

Fri. 2/1/08 10:40am Cecile:

Who is the singer on Taifuu? He's great!

Fri. 2/1/08 10:46am Doug:

I think it's Haruomi Hosono. He later went on to found Yellow Magic Orchesta.

Fri. 2/1/08 10:51am Cecile:

Cool!

Fri. 2/1/08 11:42am Bill:

The Emperors! I used to see those guys in York Pa.They put on amazing shows,

Fri. 2/1/08 11:45am Ted from Baltimore:

Doug -- I can't believe you left this track off It's a James James James James World!

Fri. 2/1/08 11:52am Doug:

Ted,
The It's a James James James World tracks were exclusively international (i.e., not from der USA). If I had opened it up to ALL James Brown-style freakouts, I woulda gone nuts trying to pick. (Went nuts anyway!)
