Interesting coincidence that you would play Johnny Cash, because I was about to comment that the melody of The Auctioneer sounds to me a lot like that of A Boy Named Sue. | |

The auctioneer is a fun song. I can't help thinking of Werner Hertzog's How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck (1976) about Amish auctioneers. Do other countries have auctioneers like ours? | |

The John Prine 2 disc Anthology is pretty tasty. Goes back to "Illegal Smile" and "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes stuff" | |

BILLY JAM ARE YOU READING THIS? This sounds like a mashup Sounderarajan vs. the Pips. | |

Fri. 10/30/09 10:44am

I'll second gumby on that Prine selection, PMD. Every home should own a 'Sam Stone ' | |

'Thanks Doug and Gumby. Gumby - does it include That's the Way the World Goes Round - one of my favoritest songs of all time? Oh, guess i could look myself... | |

Fri. 10/30/09 10:46am

@seang The crazy thing is that South Pacific was amazingly ahead of the curve on race issues. Won the freaking Pulitzer. Incredible! | |

has anyone thought of doing a massive reissue of stuff in the vaults of Flying Dutchman if it hasn't happened already/ There's loads of great records on that label. | |
|
Fri. 10/30/09 11:03am
Drummer Some:
@Dan Actually, we may have done some things to improve our reception. Where are you tuning in from? | |
|
Fri. 10/30/09 11:08am
Drummer Some:
@Cecile A massive number of great old Flying Dutchman LPs are available at a blog that has aggregated download links all over the blogosphere. You can find them all here: http://flying--dutchman.blogspot.com/ | |

Fri. 10/30/09 11:17am

i've never seen it, actually! And to me, although it's a great soundtrack, it is probably one of the least typical of Gato's mid 70s recordings.. Haven't seen the movie... | |
