Howdy Hatch!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:01am Hatch:

Hello there, Ronald.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:06am GP:

Morning Hatch and Bad Ronald...are we still on 7"?

Mon. 10/27/08 9:06am max:

is there a reason that this is not ben walker's show?

Mon. 10/27/08 9:07am Hatch:

Nope... we're on all 12" vinyl! Some singles, but mostly LPs.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:07am Ypsi:

Hatch fills in for Benjamen this morning.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:08am Bad Ronald:

Mornin' GP - the 7" bit ended w/Brad's show.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:09am Hatch:

Ben is just taking the day off, Max.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:10am annie:

and an overcast yet pleasant day up here in downsville.. morning all.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:11am GP:

I hope ya'll do the 7"' thing again next year. I think everyone was amazed at what they were hearing and I know that I learned of a whole lot of new sounds that I NEED to track down.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:12am Momosuke Araki Jr.:

will there be a fishing with john segment today?

Mon. 10/27/08 9:12am Bad Ronald:

Always happy to listen to you Hatch but I was kinda hoping Ben would have had some "Tales From Crypt" type comics for us today...

Yeah the 7" programming was stellar!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:14am Hatch:

No fishing with John, but I do have some fishing-related Halloween content.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:14am Parq:

Nice to have you turn up, H. Looking forward to the good word.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:15am Bad Ronald:

Now there's a perfect compromise!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:25am Bad Ronald:

Vinyl rules!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:25am trouble:

i am so enjoying your weekly fill-in schedule!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:26am Bad Ronald:

Jack Kittel - "Psycho"

RIP - Dee Dee

Mon. 10/27/08 9:26am Hatch:

Me too Trouble! Let me know if you ever want to sleep in on a Thursday morn'.

Mon. 10/27/08 9:28am GP:

To get the Halloween session going please look for Roy Clarks "Spooky Movies"....if you find that one than I truly know that FMU has EVERYTHING!

Morning Trouble!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:34am Miss Fit:

I remember when Hatch was on regularly...and I remember Halloween......Haaa Low Weeeeeean

Mon. 10/27/08 9:36am trouble:

you got it , hatch! oh and i love your presidential seal!

Mon. 10/27/08 9:46am SueB:

is this racist funk? or is it ironic on purpose? ami not hearing this right?

Mon. 10/27/08 9:48am SueB:

oh i just read the lyrics

Mon. 10/27/08 10:15am ?:

Hatch,
What song did you play to close out your old show with? I sounded like an instrumental version of the "Whats Up" song by 4 Non Blondes.
Thanks

Mon. 10/27/08 10:18am jason:

man, it's like you never even left

Mon. 10/27/08 10:22am bwalker:

it was great sleeping in today!! Hiya Hatch, Trouble, all!

Mon. 10/27/08 10:23am robert:

found some good stuff at the fair. but the find was a 3 dollar evel knievel album, called "evel talks to kids", which includes the Knievel Theme Song.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:23am SueB:

Though i had wanted to be a mormon with that poofy hairdo - i could not find the right prarie dress. so i will be Julia from 1984 (Junior anti sex league member)

Mon. 10/27/08 10:24am Webhamster Henry:

Paul Williams also wrote "Bugsy Malone" with the teenage Jodie Foster.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:25am jenniqua:

Hatch, I think you should dress up as the crazy McCain lady from the SNL skit. All you need is a mic, poofy bed-head hair and a McCain t-shirt. I am going to be David Bowie/Aladdin Sane with the lightning across the face.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:26am dc pat:

I want to go as this:

But, I think it's going to be too hard to even come close.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:27am Hatch:

That is a great idea Jenniqua. Thx.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:28am jason:

perhaps this mccain shirt-

Mon. 10/27/08 10:42am north guinea hills:

this elizabeth cotten is quite stunning.....

Mon. 10/27/08 10:43am annie:

i concur..

Mon. 10/27/08 10:44am GP:

me too

Mon. 10/27/08 10:44am lex:

Shake Sugaree, I heard this song about 30 years ago on WXPN in Philly. It's been haunting me ever since. So wonderfull to hear it again. Thanks.

Mon. 10/27/08 10:46am annie:

wow... i'm stunned with the beauty of this music

Mon. 10/27/08 10:46am PMD:

Yes, I wrote down Shake Sugaree and will try adn find the album..

Mon. 10/27/08 10:48am annie:

chris smither covers sugaree, not as moving as eliz cotten, though

Mon. 10/27/08 10:55am efd:

I probably mentioned this last Halloween, but I highly recommend Psychomania, a great early '70s English horror flick with an aging George Sanders in a pivotal role. I just watched it over the weekend for the first time in about 25 years, and it was as good as I remembered it!

Mon. 10/27/08 10:56am Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 10/27/08 10:56am Hatch:

Thank you EFD! Find any good power pop yesterday?

Mon. 10/27/08 10:57am GP:

Its funny hearing this out of context it sounds like a movie from the 50's or a Twitlight Zone episode, especially the music track.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:00am dc pat:

ok, what film was THAT from?

Mon. 10/27/08 11:02am Hatch:

Prophecy, by John Frankenheimer.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:04am Bad Ronald:

This RPD tune's kinda nice!

Mon. 10/27/08 11:06am north guinea hills:

elizabeth cotten on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMSYzFdloqY&mode=related&search=

Mon. 10/27/08 11:09am efd:

Hatch, I'll let you know after I listen to everything tonight! I was looking for you around 5:30, but I think you'd left - found a table with some good UK singles.
(Record Fair Finds listening party on my show tomorrow night, btw!)

Mon. 10/27/08 11:11am dc pat:

Elizabeth Cotten: closeups of left hand, upside down stringing are nice on that video.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:13am Hatch:

Yeah I had just left, and had run out of money anyway! Oh well.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:16am Parq:

Did they give stuff away at the end of Sunday like last year?

Mon. 10/27/08 11:22am rico:

hatch, what are you playing in the background right now?
cheers...

Mon. 10/27/08 11:31am Hatch:

That was a track by Lindstrom & Prins Thomas.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:32am Parq:

Nobody -- nobody -- knows what percentage of people are telling the pollsters they're voting for Obama when they're actually volting for McCain. From the pollsters mouths to God's ears, but I for one am keeping my champagne corked for now.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:33am sloane:

Shh! Let's not jinx it, now. Don't let us start feeling comfortable; we gotta get out & vote!

Mon. 10/27/08 11:34am annie:

parq it's why i just don't even trust exit polls. how can you possibly know the truth factor?

Mon. 10/27/08 11:35am Hatch:

There is absolutely no precedent for something like that happening on a massive scale, Parq. And even if there were a 6% "Bradley Effect" of people lying to pollsters, Obama would still probably win.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:36am detroitdave:

Why bother with ANY polls?? Vote for the candidate YOU like and forget the rest of the bullshit!

Mon. 10/27/08 11:37am Carmichael:

I'm hopng for 10,000% voter turnout.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:38am dc pat:

there's also talk of the "reverse Bradeley effect"--Republicans that can't bear to vote for McCain/Palin and vote for Obama once in the booth.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:41am Parq:

Hatch, I realy don't mean to rain on your parade, but there is also absolutely no precedent for a black guy middle-named Hussain being one of the candidates. Honestely, I want to believe, but I've just got a bad gut feeling. Guess I'll just have to work on breathing exercises for the next eight days.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:44am GP:

Not to change the subject but.....dang, I wish I could play guitar like Chris on this "Statesboro Blues" song.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:45am Hatch:

It's gonna be okay buddy. We still have to vote of course, and I will be volunteering all week for the Obama campaign. But unless John McCain bludgeons Osama Bin Laden with his shoe within the week, it's over.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:45am Carmichael:

Honestly Parq, it's all over but the cryin'. Believe it: Our first African-American President.

As Kevin Bacon said in Animal House, "All is well!!"

Mon. 10/27/08 11:46am Bruce:

Saw Chris Smither in Chicago. Wonderful show.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:46am Sean Daily:

Awright! The Penguin for President! Why choose the lesser of two evils?

Mon. 10/27/08 11:47am R. P.:

I agree with sloane, these poll results may hurt Obama, since people may become complacent and not vote. The stat that's been bothering me regards who actually votes: 20% of the 20-year olds and 80% of the 80-year olds. It would help to make sure that you bring others with you when you go to vote.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:48am detroitdave:

great Batman clip!

Mon. 10/27/08 11:49am annie:

he did a small show at west kortright up here in new york. old church venue.. wonderful ambiance..

Mon. 10/27/08 11:49am Parq:

Awright, comic book stuff. That's the ticket. This whole thing is playing like a comic book.

Off-topic, I met Chris Smither decades ago. Nice guy, but not very articulate. I s'pose he was just tired from his set.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:49am jhn:

WFMU hates freedom.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:50am Parq:

We also hate God, America and hard work, jhn. And we're elitist.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:51am GP:

Thanks for the Waylon Hatch.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:52am zoot:

Don't worry, R.P, my 80 year old father has been working hard for Obama. One of his major tasks - registering young folk and getting them to the polls. This will be a big turnout year all around.

Mon. 10/27/08 11:52am Ike:

The real problem is the ES&S iVotronic voting machines switching peoples' votes -- reports say this is already happening with early voting in MO, WV, and TX.

As for polls, enthusiasm is much lower among Repubs than Dems this year, so I think the polls could be accurate. I don't see why someone would LIE and claim to be voting for Obama when actually voting for McCain. But will we be *allowed* to vote accurately?

Mon. 10/27/08 11:57am jhn:

If hating hard work makes you an elitist, then I must be a member of the Ancien Régime.

Mon. 10/27/08 12:00pm GP:

jhn...LOL

Mon. 10/27/08 12:00pm GP:

Hatch what are you playing in background?

Mon. 10/27/08 12:01pm Parq:

Read last week's "Doonesbury" on the subject of counter-elitism.

Mon. 10/27/08 12:11pm Hatch:

The last track was (and almost always is) "Avslutning" by Bjorn Olsson.
