"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." Alternating weeks with (More Than a Few) Exciting Moments with Frank O'Toole.

Morning!

Swami
who was taping in my basement last night? Lots o' crickets!
Mon. 9/29/08 9:36am
From:
Parq
Hey, John. Been busy since 9, but wanted to stop and say it's good to hear you.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:39am
From:
JA
Hi Parq! ( & swami and bad)
Mon. 9/29/08 9:50am
From:
stingy d
nice quote-description... makes me feel like i like what i'm about to hear before i've even heard it.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:52am
From:
JA
yeah. that's the funny thing about manipulation.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:54am
From:
stingy d
i really like the "no reflection on you" bit.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:55am
From:
Ian
Thanks for the tunes! My first time listening to your show, it's great.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:56am
From:
Parq
Actually, I've been thinking about that quote all morning. We've all gotten that email, or some analogue to it. I think it captures the essence of trying to be a WFMU person in a ClearChannel world.
Mon. 9/29/08 9:58am
From:
stingy d
whoah.... parq... man.... too early
Mon. 9/29/08 10:03am
From:
Bad Ronald
I like Joe Belock a lot.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:12am
From:
GP
Morning all...not that anyone cares what I think but my fingers are already typin....I kind of agree with the part of that quote about Free-Form jazz...I may be naive and unsophisticated but I just don't get it...and I have tried to (suffer) listen to a lot of it, in fact one of local college stations plays a TON of it..so far none of it has been good or even something that is even remotely interesting. At times I think the joke is on us....(steps gently off of soapbox).
ps: John Allen, did you invent the word "Dub"?...cool ; )
Mon. 9/29/08 10:13am
From:
JA
Yeah, me and king tubby came up w/ Dub
Mon. 9/29/08 10:17am
From:
stingy d
parq- i take it back.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:19am
From:
JA
impressive conflict resolution you two, maybe you should get a room
Mon. 9/29/08 10:21am
From:
Bad Ronald
And I thought it was the three men in a tub (that came up w/Dub)!
Thanks for settin the record straight.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:25am
From:
GP
I think Lee "Scratch" Perry was there too.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:28am
From:
JA
yeah it was the 3 of us...tubby, scratch, and JA
Mon. 9/29/08 10:29am
From:
Ike
What is this, the resurrection of CD101.9?!? "The Corporate World" indeed.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:30am
From:
JA
aww what's the matter IKE, afraid of the fire?
Mon. 9/29/08 10:31am
From:
Frank Zappa
Rub it!!!!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:32am
From:
m
ike just feels strangled by the passion of these tunes
Mon. 9/29/08 10:32am
From:
g
yeah, I'm definitely getting a strong whiff of "dentist's office" with this one . . .
Mon. 9/29/08 10:33am
From:
GP
If you could only follow this up with some Christopher Cross...then you really will carry me off to heaven!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:34am
From:
GP
not really
Mon. 9/29/08 10:35am
From:
C
Oh is Gail the bald chick?
Mon. 9/29/08 10:36am
From:
Bad Ronald
Yeah she wears a merkin.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:41am
From:
Ike
Yes. Yes, I am afraid of the fire. And by "fire" I mean "DJ who was been in the landfills, digging out '70s and '80s vinyl that should've stayed there, and randomly throwing it onto the turntables." HA!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:42am
From:
JA
thanks for your praise Ike, no matter how bitter the root.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:42am
From:
Ma
good work, JA. just ig the simpletons
Mon. 9/29/08 10:42am
From:
Parq
That's fine, Ron. We want more 'Merkin singers on this show, not these damn foreigners. (No ditto of Ike's 70s reference intended.)
Mon. 9/29/08 10:43am
From:
Brian C.
Scary thought or cool band name: Ethel Merman's Merkin
Mon. 9/29/08 10:43am
From:
Bad Ronald
Don't mind him JA. Just throw a few errant apostrophes his way.
That'll get his goat!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:47am
From:
Ike
Oh God, Ronald, don't expose my kryptonite. I'll give up my right to free speech if it will protect the poor abused apostrophes.
Mmm, roots. You can make tea with bitter roots. Anyway, I really like this Tetine track.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:48am
From:
GP
Thanks Brian...need a unicorn chaser after that image burned into my brain......although you should probably register that domain name ASAP!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:48am

Mon. 9/29/08 10:48am
From:
JA

Mon. 9/29/08 10:55am
From:
Bad Ronald
My bad IKE. Nobody knows that I'm deathly afraid of merkins. Wait I've said too much...
Dig this Bowie tune.
Mon. 9/29/08 10:55am
From:
Ike
What comic books? No comic books here. Me likey Shining Path!
Mon. 9/29/08 10:58am
From:
GP
Weird, my Grandad used to buy tires form a guy named Red Money. Wow, this is just like Pop-Up Videos...only better, and oh yeah, there are no videos.

Mon. 9/29/08 11:11am
From:
GP

Hey Sean
Mon. 9/29/08 11:11am

Mon. 9/29/08 11:19am
From:
GP
This Mike Kelly sounds like ghosts...not that I have ever heard them mind you, but this would be a great haunted house track.
Mon. 9/29/08 11:42am
From:
GP
OK..NOT the band Ghosts, but those ectoplasmic dudes that Bill Murray was catching.
