Listener comments!

  12:03pm
mike:

ready to rahk!
  12:04pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh those silly Monkees!
  12:06pm
Bad Ronald:

"Monkees is the craziest people!"
  12:13pm
ken:

Somehow, someway - I don't know TOKENS. Never heard of them.
Really.
  12:14pm
Bad Ronald:

Hi Tony - If your taking requests can you please play The Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina" ?
  12:17pm
Jonathan Steinke:

Tokens sang "Lion Sleeps Tonight".
  12:18pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Traffic was ahead of its time with that clock winding thing.
  12:19pm
Jonathan Steinke:

A+, Tony!!
  12:19pm
mike:

what does that clock winding remind me of?... is there an olivia tremor control song with that sound?
  12:20pm
Webhamster Henry:

Traffic ! That really makes me feel old!
  12:21pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

very likely OTC but I can't think where or when!
  12:25pm
Andrew:

Tony-I'm super psyched to see a realtime playlist!
Sweetens the Tony Coulter Experience...if that's even possible!
  12:30pm
Bruce:

Floyd on loud ear buds in my cubicle. Oh wow.
  12:32pm
Kat:

Tony Coulter is God!
  12:33pm
fishmonkestew:

Remember a Day. Excellent! And I agree about the realtime playlist. Very nice.
  12:33pm
Bad Ronald:

Tony - No appologies necessary.
  12:34pm
Cecile:

Tony, you should go into business as a radio consultant. and reinvent classic rock. Great stuff.
  12:35pm
spaniel:

who is this pink floyd i've been hearing so much about?

oh, man, shoot, i missed the monkeys.
  12:36pm
mike:

the worm!
  12:37pm
giraffe-o:

What a fantastic set so far! Obscure stuff from some obscure & not-so-esoteric bands. Personal anectode : I'm not a thorough fan of Pink Floyd or Zep, but 2 lesser known songs I've recently gotten my teeth into : "Fearless" by Pink, and "Ten Years Gone" by Zep
  12:37pm
Ike:

Cecile: Only soulless, tasteless husks are permitted to become commercial radio consultants.

The Worm ROCKS! Or not. Some of this isn't really my bag but I love seeing the accu-playlist. That Monkees track was awesome.
  12:40pm
Cecile:

Tony, I don't know how you feel about Santana, but i love the cuts he used to have Babtunde Olatunji on...
  12:46pm
Bad Ronald:

Cream YES!!!
  12:46pm
dc pat:

ok, first time I've heard the Doors on FMU.
  12:47pm
Bad Ronald:

*wonders* will the Beatles make the cut?
  12:48pm
Droll:

I've died and gone to AM Gold heaven.
  12:49pm
Michael:

Listening to Cream's World of Pain, and am hearing Elvis Costello's "London's Brilliant Parade" from Brutal Youth.
  12:49pm
west coast william:

Beatles - Flying
Genesis - Harold the Barrel
King Crimson - Exiles, or Happy Family
:)
  12:49pm
mike:

i could see "it's all too much" or "you know my name, look up the number" making the cut
  12:50pm
dc pat:

I'd say Beatles - You Know My Name
  12:50pm
Bad Ronald:

nice correlation Michael
  12:51pm
Gigantor:

Ooh, playing "name that band" is fun! Some great stuff-thanks Tony.
  12:51pm
Cecile:

I vote for Hey Bulldog.
  12:51pm
Bad Ronald:

I'd go with a GH tune for like - "You Like Me Too Much"
  12:51pm
ZippyD:

Great show!!!!! Now I 've got to dig out my Cream vinyl.
  12:53pm
Bad Ronald:

... or "I need You"
  12:54pm
Marcy:

Hooray for playlists! I hope that you keep using them when the jams turn back toward the less familiar...
  12:54pm
m:

just tuning in now... can someone inform me as to the theme of today's programme?
  12:55pm
Cecile:

Rock by classic rockers that hasn't been overplayed to the point of pain...
  12:55pm
Bad Ronald:

not so classic rock
  12:55pm
Bad Ronald:

classy rock?
  12:57pm
m:

sounds great!
  12:57pm
Kat:

No Crome Syrcus?
  12:58pm
Bad Ronald:

Keith Moon is on this track by JB
  12:59pm
dc pat:

I was about to say--I forgot Moon played drums on this but you can hear him yelling
  1:00pm
Bad Ronald:

Apparently he knocked over one of his mics during the session.
  1:02pm
dc pat:

what a guy. You can watch a Moon documentary in about 6 parts on YouTube. He was truly insane.
  1:02pm
spaniel:

this show's a lot of fun. i think you stole my mom's record collection. one of my favorites from my intro to music/high school days was Jefferson Airplane's "after bathing at baxters" (the whole album is like one long story, man).
  1:04pm
Bad Ronald:

I think there's a movie in the works where Mike Myers will star as Moonie.
  1:05pm
dc pat:

ho-jeeze, don't know about that casting decision..
  1:06pm
Happy Listener:

Thanks for playing some of my favorite classic rock tracks, Tony! I love the first 4 DP albums, but not much else of theirs moves me.
  1:08pm
Bad Ronald:

I agree wholeheartedly DCP.
  1:08pm
giraffe-o:

Who's singing on this D.P. song?
  1:10pm
Greg in DC:

Great show. Here are a few suggestions (based on what I may have had on my LP stack at any moment way back then):

Mothers, Jefferson Airplane, WHO, Electric Prunes, Shadows of Night, Young Rascals, Stones (Satanic Majesty's Request or Flowers), Fever Tree, Savoy Brown
  1:11pm
dc pat:

They should get an unknown ENGLISH actor and do something truly creative with it. But won't happen...another Doors movie in the making...
  1:13pm
dc pat:

My dad came home from work one day w/ 2 Iron Butterfly albums. That was his entire connection w/ rock and roll--beginning to end. Still don't know what possessed him....
  1:14pm
Kat:

I would have preferred "Unconscious Power" myself, but hey, no worries. Great show!
  1:17pm
Zach in Philly:

Over The Top Genius! I am blown away by the oh-so-subtle execution of the Class Ick Rahk theme. And an accuplaylist to boot! It feels like I've been slipped two pills of wowie-zowie medication.
  1:17pm
Bad Ronald:

Burn Hollywood Burn!
  1:20pm
Droll:

If Clear-acom classic rock stations played this set, they could tell you how much money they were losing per 20 minute block. Fortunately, I only patronize shops which advertise and underwrite on WFMU, and they all say bring on the Gentle Giant!
  1:30pm
Bad Ronald:

Alice Cooper - "Muscle of Love" or "Woman Machine" would be kinda cool...
  1:31pm
Parq:

Late to the party, but whoa - all this and a comment-enabled acuplaylist too!
  1:34pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Holy crap. You actually played something from Janis Ian's The Secret Life of J. Eddy Fink. (Who I assume is Ian herself, since her real last name is Fink -- she borrowed her brother's middle name for her last name.) IAE, I'm amazed to hear a radio station playing anything *at all* by Ian other than "At Seventeen" -- much less a cut from a long-out-of-print obscurity like "Secret Life of . . ." Tony Coulter, I love you, whether or not you're related to Ann.
  1:37pm
Bad Ronald:

There's Alice - nice one tx Tony
  1:38pm
Will in Paris:

You are an archeologist!!!
I actually played Beck's bolero in my bedroom 2 nights ago.
I can't believe anyone else even remembers it.
Also, your set reminds me of an album of some Swedish organist
who had an album inspired by Lord of the Rings way back in the late 70's, I was a young teen at the time.
  1:40pm
Cecile:

ZOMG, BOC.

Great theme!
  1:41pm
jtm:

Tony, thanks for a great show and for the live playlist. please start doing the comment playlist every week!
  1:42pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Man, this almost makes me wish I smoked pot again.
  1:42pm
fishmonkeystew:

She's as Beautiful as a Foot? bwahahahahahaha!!!! That is AWESOME!
  1:45pm
Roger:

I am loving your set, but I am also reminded why only certain songs ever really penetrate and last. A lot of these cuts are just that, album cuts. But, play on, I'm enjoying every single one of them.
  1:46pm
Cecile:

LOVE THIS KINKS SONG
  1:47pm
dc pat:

Perfect Kinks choice...beautiful.
  1:47pm
Marcy:

Will in Paris- that's Bo Hansson "Sagan Om Ringen." Hot stuff!
  1:50pm
Jake in Atlanta:

Great great show Tony! Never heard you before but I'll be listening every week now.
  1:53pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Most depressing Neil Young album EVER!!
  1:53pm
Cecile:

Yeah, ain't it great?
  1:54pm
Parq:

Ah yes, "On the Beach" -- was that a rocket sticking out of the sand or the fender of a 50s car?
  1:55pm
Bad Ronald:

a car
  1:57pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

OMG, *Bread*!!!! I never thought I'd hear Bread played on 'FMU, except maybe on the Incorrect Music Show. You have thrilled me to the core.
  1:58pm
Gigantor:

Can't say I've heard "Bread" on FMU either, thankfully. Though this is an excellent pick if you are going to!
  2:00pm
dc pat:

how 'bout Love - Signed DC
  2:00pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

This whole set makes me want to put on bell-bottoms and a leather choker with a peace symbol on it and go wander barefoot through the park in the rain.
  2:01pm
Bad Ronald:

and protest the war
  2:01pm
AnAnonymousParty:

This show is like a box of chocolates . . .
  2:04pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Well, Bad Ronald, I'm doing that anyway.
  2:05pm
Bad Ronald:

I thought so, just wanted to make sure...
  2:05pm
Bruce:

Actually, I think FMU thrives on the obscure - music produced for the love of it. Still, a fun show.
  2:06pm
taste_is_relative:

Ah - Manfred Mann. The only band, other than Golden Earring, to be a 1-hit wonder across 2 different genres/eras
  2:09pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Golden Earring had more than one hit?
  2:09pm
Bad Ronald:

This Faces tune sounds like the Move.
  2:10pm
Will in Paris:

Marcy, whatta memory! Bo Hansson! Ohmygod, that was even before I started smoking pot, and I haven't smoked pot for several decades.
I'm trying to get my young French brother-in-laws hooked into WFMU.
  2:10pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Twilight Zone and Radar Love
  2:13pm
Parq:

Bruce, I think that's the point. On a station where everybody plays obscurities, how do you break out of the pack? And to play classic rock without playing any "Classic Rock" - what a challenge. And, may I add, Tony is stepping up to it magnificently.
  2:15pm
Jonathan Steinke:

Tommy Roe...Tommy Roe...hmm. A name I finally CAN'T place. Great song nonetheless!
  2:21pm
greg in DC:

Dizzy, I'm so dizzy
  2:22pm
Mike B.:

Umm... i never thought the day would come. GD? i'm confused all over again.
::lifts jaw::
  2:22pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Ah -- I didn't realize Golden Earring did "Twilight Zone." Thanks, DCE.
  2:22pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

Anthem of the Sun rules.
  2:25pm
Jim:

Whoa, same here, Grateful Dead?
  2:26pm
E.K.:

Oh for the days when the harpsichord was a pop instrarment
  2:29pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

don't be hatin on the Dead...it's not THEIR fault!!
  2:30pm
Parq:

Bark - what a terrific, under-rated album!
  2:32pm
jim frm b-burg:

Tony, you have a great ear!

thanks.
  2:33pm
Mike B.:

Well who/what is to blame? I finally just sorted all this out.
  2:36pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

people who need people
  2:38pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

I don't think I realized until now just how much every ELO song sounds like every other ELO song.
  2:43pm
JJZ:

Not many other bands have strings, that helps.
  2:44pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

This Mamas and Papas song is the first one I've actually recognized -- was thinking that it's played on other broadcast stations, but then realized I've probably heard it on LuxuriaMusic.com.

JJZ, I was also thinking about ELO's voice distortion.
  2:45pm
Webhamster Henry:

Tony, You don't suppose you could do this, say , once a month all summer, could you?
  2:45pm
mike:

this show is skewing 60s, methinks. when will we hear the hidden chestnuts from the eagles and peter frampton? how bout a long lost zeppelin sound collage?!
  2:46pm
Will in Paris:

Recently, My youngest French brother-in-law gave us a copie of the Beatles White Album. Whereas, I can't say that I'll listen to it a whole lot, it really did establish the architecture for almost all the pop to come.
This show reminds of me of this thought that came to me the last time that I listened to the White Album.
In another vein, I tried to see if "New hope for the Wretched" by the Plasmatics exists as a CD.
  2:47pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Okay, this is a decent song by The Association . . . but I would have preferred hearing "Rose Petals, Incense, and a Kitten," from the LP Birthday.
  2:48pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I wonder if Beachwood Sparks took their name sort of from this song.
  2:50pm
Zach in Philly:

Mike, I've been holding my breath for a track from either Zepplin or Dylan. Three hours goes pretty fast. I definately second the notion to do this again sometime over the summer! But we've had so far is pretty captain fantastic!
  2:52pm
Droll:

Will in Paris, I love the White Album, but isn't it really a snapshot of pop music as it was, not an architecture for the future? There used to be stories that the Beatles were aping other contemporary bands' styles in tribute. Examples include Back in the USSR (Beach Boys), Let's Do It In The Road (The Doors), Piggies (Pink Floyd)... A fun exercise for a new way to hear an old classic.
  2:53pm
Mike B:

people do need people.
  2:54pm
mike:

yes, america, this is more like it! (though that was totally 60s yes)
  2:55pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

my parents played this one when I was wee-bitty and it made me love that California sound that gets so slammed by the ultra-hip. still sounds good to me though.
  2:55pm
Bad Ronald:

People need peep holes.
  2:56pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

actually they were totally 70s, this album was '72 I think
  2:56pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

America was definitely 70s. I should know -- I discovered them while I was in high school, which I started in 1970. I had every one of their "heavy" LPs, and memorized 'em all. Love these lyrics -- "orange funnels, snowy tunnels, summer troubles, books in bundles, and you."
  2:57pm
Bad Ronald:

Did George Martin produce all of their albums?
  2:57pm
Will in Paris:

Droll, well yeah, your right but I aslo feel I'm right. A lot of songs
in this set might never have been without the White Album
( am I sticking my neck out or what?) Even Helter Skelter has a Punk edge to it.
  3:00pm
Denise in Washington, DC:

Good question, Ronald. Amazon doesn't say. It does reveal, however, that "Homecoming" was originally released in 1973.
  3:01pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh, thx Denise, I always wondered what the hell that guy was saying during that part. you would laugh to hear what I thought he was saying!!
  3:15pm
fp cassini:

does anyone have advice as to how to capture/record this awesome stream for later listening?
  3:43pm
Bad Ronald:

Thanks Denise.

fp cassini - you should be able to revisit the show on wfmu archives section.
  6:41pm
lissner monica:

i loved it. elton john has some great non-hits.
  7:49pm
Cozmic Eddie:

A marvelous and ultimately successful exercise. This something I periodically do on my own program, sneaking in a winner from a group otherwise disregarded.

To Will in Paris:

Did we attend secondary school together in Massachusetts? Just wondering...
  3:45pm
Kay:

You've heard of xmradio's Fred rock programming format and Ethel.

I think we've seen the birth of the Tony rawk format. Long live Tony!
  6:10am
Den:

Thank you indeed for this very nice music!!!
Best wishes from Russia!
  7:32pm
Marcos:

Great playlist! If possible, I'd like to include Daevid Allen's "Rich Girl", a fantastic slice of psych insanity!
