Heya Gurldogg! So glad you're on the jalopy. Watch that back fender, it's kinda loose. |

I'm so fooking excited I forgot to back announce the last set. Obviously you fine ladies and gentlemen don't need me to. It the starving thousands not follow the visuals who are suffering. |

This Soul Bandit's track has got Ghostbusters all up innit, no? |

Tue. 5/15/12 6:29pm
Gurldogg:
Is that what you heard? I thought it was "Soul Finger" by the BarKays. | |
|
|
♥
Tue. 5/15/12 6:32pm
Doug S.:
@Gurldogg, yes yes of course. There are many who claim Ray Parker's Ghostbusters was a rip of the Bar-Kays. |
|

Yep, I heard a distinct BarKay style. | |

The odd vocal utterances on this one remind of of Slim Gaillard! |
|

Tue. 5/15/12 6:40pm
Doug S.:
He's saying something about "reggae," but it sounds like Gaillard's gibberish. To my innocent ears, at least. |

Now into the last set. Loving the show so far! | |

Wed. 5/16/12 3:45pm
Doug S.:
Hey Van, I saw you check in at BWW on Twitter at 6pm last night. I guess you couldn't convince the manager to pipe the Drummer stream in on the house audio system. | |

Thu. 5/17/12 8:27am
Van in DC:
Nope! But they did have live music, a pretty good guitarist / vocalist. In fact, it was the guy in the video down the page here: http://www.practicallyeinstein.com/ ...went up and talked WFMU with him during a break though, does that count? :) | |
