sonar:
Echo-y | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:22pm
Dan B:
@Sonar, I see you go back and forth about whether or not to use a capital S in your name. I used to spell my name "dann" when I was in 8th grade because I thought it made me more "unique." | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:22pm
PB:
Good evening DB, very interesting set (as usual). | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:24pm
sonar:
Dan,no capital"Dann"! | |

Mon. 1/9/12 9:26pm
sonar:

|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:27pm
Dan B:
@PB, welcome to this evening's Event. @Sonar, it's true -- dann with NO CAPITAL D and two ns! Wasn't that weird? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:28pm
emmagineering:
Ooooh nice! about time there was some new r youngs. Can't get enough of his/that camp of music | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:29pm
Dan B:
@emmagineering - it's a little 3" CD and his son Edward also plays on it along with Richard and Andrew. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:30pm

BASF tapes.... craptastic, used to get 10 of them at kmart for a couple of bux | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:41pm
George of Troy:
Cheap cassettes in plastic bags- Dan, you might be thinking of Recoton? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:42pm
Detroit:
Here Kitty Kitty! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:44pm
Detroit:
How ya feelin' tonight Dan? Are you finally at 100%? Or are we going to hear the game show again? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:46pm
Dan B:
@Detroit - finally kicked that damn sinus infection! Then I promptly had a gout attack - but that's not audible on the radio, thank God. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:46pm
PB:
I absolutely love trippy music like this. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:49pm
T-Zero:
Happy to note the sinus monster has finally been chased off, Dan. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:49pm
Detroit:
Phuck. Gout won't induce the super loud game show voice. Just kidding, well, I just keep listening in 2012 and hope you get better. Damn. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:49pm
Marmalade Kitty:
not sure whether to bin my cassettes.. just dusty old relics and memories sitting in shoe boxes.. never the heart to get rid of 'em! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:50pm
damien:
Greetings from Troy, New York. And a Happy Full Moon! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:52pm
T-Zero:
@DanB and MK: I still have a medium-sized moving box in the closet full of cassettes from the 80's. I still play them now and then. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:52pm
Tom Miller:
I've always loved the Fibonaccis, they were out of Vancouver I think. Look for thei track "Sergio Leone." | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:52pm
PB:
@MK, I have some LPs that my parents bought me for my 7th birthday in 1964 (mono copies of A Hard Day's Night and Twist & Shout). I will never, ever part with those. Don't throw those old cassettes out, you'll probably regret it some day. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:52pm
Dan B:
@damien, heya - didn't know it was full tonight. That explains all these whiskers. @MK, yeah, I keep winnowing them down, but there's a core pile I cannot part with. @Detroit, gout is the new black, it's COOL. @T-Z, thanks brother. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:54pm
Tom Miller:
@MK, don't get rid of those cassettes! Future media archaeologists will thank you. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:54pm
12539:
I have cassettes of wfmu fragments from the late 80's, but no working player. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:55pm
Dan B:
@12539, we collect old WFMU air checks around here. If you ever digitize any of them, let me know! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:57pm
Tom Miller:
BASF cassettes were terrible, but the company did invent magnetic recording tape as part of the Nazi war effort. So there's that. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:57pm
12539:
I probably should have them digitized before they disintegrate. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:58pm
emmagineering:
bagpipe music that I actually like. Oh, and I had marmalade on my pancakes yesterday. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:58pm
Detroit:
I pitched all my cassettes. Really glad you folks are around. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 9:59pm
Detroit:
I don't know if I've heard much bagpipe music that I didn't like, actually. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:00pm
Dan B:
I wish I had a dedicated radio station library for all my old cassettes...oh hey, wait a minute! Maybe WFMU wants them! (But probably not if they're old X, Neil Young, and Michael Jackson tapes. WFMU's library is a little more eclectic than that and full of stuff that's not available on LP or CD.) | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:01pm
Dan B:
I was wondering if this bagpipe would drive people away, or just out of their minds | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:02pm
T-Zero:
... Rufus Harley... need I say more? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:02pm
12539:
Bagpipes are a magnet for the Airborne Demographic. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:04pm
Dan B:
Oh good, out of your minds it is then! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:04pm
Marmalade Kitty:
I love my old John Peel show/session tapes. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:06pm
Destroit:
well, count me in as a bagpipe fan. Great background music, which, no offense, is a decent chunk of my radio listening. For instance, I'm watching the NCAA fb right now with you, so bagpipes are perfect. Powerful instrument when I'm in critical listening mode too (headphones, speaker freaking, long drives, etc.) | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:10pm
Ike:
OH SHIT, what the fuck is this?!?!?!? Jesus CHRIST, Bodah! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:10pm
12539:
Okay, dann, I won't turn this off, but I may fiddle with the volume a little. | |

He's just getting ready for phase 2! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:13pm
Richard from Venezuela:
Gaelica from Venezuela make good bagpipe music. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:13pm
Dan B:
OK, it's safe again you intolerant gits. This is Albert Ayler. Now tell me, is he playing that tune from Annie? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:14pm
Ike:
I don't think I've EVER been so relieved to hear Albert Ayler in my entire life. | |
|

@Ike: We get it, we get it, sheesh. | |

Mon. 1/9/12 10:16pm
Destroit:
Wow Ike! If you feel this strongly about Annie, I'd hate to see your rant on Tim Conway! :) | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:16pm
PB:
Guys like Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman were always way beyond me, although I have always liked Thelonius Monk. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:17pm

Watch Annie on Netflix with the all new Albert Ayler soundtrack: http://goo.gl/4YNJS | |

No, the Nords pacified their opponents, then raped and killed em. Sad, but true. | |

Mon. 1/9/12 10:29pm
Destroit:
Yeeesssss!!!!!!!! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:31pm
Richard from Venezuela:
Free jazz. Awesome. Lately i become a fan of Paal Nilssen-love music work. Superb drummer. | |

Mon. 1/9/12 10:32pm
Richard from Venezuela:
Universal scrobbler is down. Crap. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:38pm
Dan B:
Which part of tonight's show was the heartfelt but possibly untrue story? Or is that part yet to come? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:40pm
Destroit:
That's you call dad. Not mine. | |

which i looooove | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:54pm
Dan B:
@remax, definitely no easing up in this one. I love those dulcet tones in the background though. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:55pm
oskar (from Bs.As.):
excelent! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:56pm

Is this the new Janet Jackson release? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:56pm
remax:
dan b, i dig it for sure | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:57pm
Destroit:
I like this track. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:57pm
Dan B:
@PB, it will be when I get through with it. (Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!) But seriously, have you ever wondered why an obscure San Fran band's 1987 cassette-only release sounds like the new 2012 Janet Jackson wonderhit? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:58pm
PB:
Progress DB, progress. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:59pm

progressive new jack is on tha way | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 10:59pm
Dan B:
As always, Michael J. Fox knew before any of the rest of us -- we have to go backwards to find the hit music of tomorrow. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:00pm
Dan B:
Oh man, is that *auto-tune* on those screams?! That is *so 2010*!! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:01pm
Destroit:
Fox would have had more 'wobble'. Zing. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:02pm
other david:
This is all kinds of awesome | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:06pm
PB:
Cassettes did have a limited duration back in the day, didn't they? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:06pm
Destroit:
I can really see how this was 1987. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:07pm
Destroit:
That foghorn is fantastic. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:09pm
Ike:
Do you mean lifespan, @PB? I've never worn any of my cassettes out, but I don't think I ever played any more than 50-75 times or usually much less. Also, I used good blanks like Maxell and Fuji. Never the big plastic bags of blanks (!). I still have cassettes from 1990 that I play on my car's cassette deck. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:09pm
1987 Marty McFly:
[addressing the shocked expressions at the dance after playing a drum and drone set of 45 minutes] I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:10pm
PB:
@Ike, I meant like 35 minutes per side or something. I was hinting that DB needed to pull the plug on that last "musical" track. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:11pm
1987:
Well duh, we use different drugs from 2012 | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:13pm
Ike:
Max. 50-55 min. per side for reliable cassettes. 60 min. for thinner tape -- my father always warned me away from those, saying they'd tangle in the tape heads more easily. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:17pm
remax:
got any behead the prophet, DB? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:20pm
Kat in Chicago:
Ooh, Andy Stott. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:24pm
Dan B:
@remax, sorry no behead the prophet that I am aware of. @PB, all good things must come to an end, but not right away! I like what Fela said about how after 7 minutes, he was just getting ready to start singing and he couldn't understand how anyone would want him to end the song then! @Kat, hello to Chitown. I will be getting to know it in the next couple of years - my brother in law just got a job teaching out there. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:27pm
Destroit:
Andy Stott is quality pushin' | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:27pm

no worries, I just have a thing for toothless violinists in their sixties crunching out spazzcore | |

Mon. 1/9/12 11:29pm

Sissy! Sissy! Where are uuuuuu!!!! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:29pm
Kat in Chicago:
Hi Dan! I started adding "Chicago" here because there's another Kat on the comments boards now. I've not a native Chicagoan but have been here for many years (excluding the brief NYC sojourn during which I discovered the wonders of WFMU). It's a good place to live most of the year... | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:30pm
Lake Michigan Wind:
*most* of the year... | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:37pm
Dan B:
Heh. Oh Chicago. Didn't Neil Young have a song where the whole chorus consisted of the word "Chicago" stretched out over 30 seconds? | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:39pm
Kat in Chicago:
There are wide gaps in my Neil Young knowledge... missed that one. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:39pm
T-Zero:
@DanB: Don't think I've ever heard Wizz Jones before. Glad you played that. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:40pm
Tom Miller:
God bless the Red Krayola and all who sail with it. | |

Mon. 1/9/12 11:43pm
Destroit:
Hello Kat. Thanks Dan for a great show, have to turn out the lights now. The Ole 9-5 is callin'... | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:43pm
Dan B:
@Tom, indeed my friend. Never heard that one before. @T-Zero, that was from a live concert from 2006 -- his voice is showing his age, but check out his 70s recordings. Amazing voice and unparalleled guitar work. @Kat, I think I made up that NY song. | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:49pm
Destroit:
Goddammit, are you cassette rockin and keeping me awake?! | |
|
Mon. 1/9/12 11:52pm
Dan B:
It's OK Destroit, I have to be at work at 9 AM too. :-) | |
