tonyc:
@ Carmichael: Today's topic is nothingness, formlessness, themelessness. In other words, there ain't no theme. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:01pm
tonyc:
@ Doug: Did you change the spelling of "Doud" to "Doug" in my comment? Or am I going crazy/blind? |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:03pm
BSI:
Cheers to those who still percolate coffee. Beats the hot snot out of drip anyday. | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:05pm
tonyc:
Hey BSI! I may actually be a dripper, now that you mention it. The word "percolating" was just ready at hand.... |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:05pm
Carmichael:
I am all about all of the above, Tony. | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:09pm
Carmichael:
Was that Mike McGear, who is the brother of Sir Paul? | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:10pm
tonyc:
The very one! |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:13pm
tonyc:
FYI: Abstemious Youth = Vittore Baroni |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:15pm
BSI:
"percolate" as a word is much more cool anyway... | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:16pm
tonyc:
Drips drip; the perky percolate. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:16pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
Hi Tony and everyone, thought you were gonna do part 2 of psyche singles M-Z today? Mike McGear is a half brother of the icon Macca! | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:17pm
Doud S.:
First typo fixed is free. $4.99 thereafter... | |
|

This Stark Reality track was originally recorded for a kiddies television show! |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:19pm
tonyc:
Hey Flaming Youth! No singles part 2 (M–Z) today, no. Don't know when that'll be -- I'll spring it on you sometime, I guess. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:19pm
FLAMING YOUTH:

|

Tue. 11/20/12 12:30pm
Brian in UK:
Tony. McGough is pronounced McGoff, just saying. I am useless most names but this much I know. | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:32pm
FLAMING YOUTH:

My wife, who's 50% Finnish Finnished me | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:48pm
tonyc:
Finnished you with Pledge? Pledge to FMU you say? |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:50pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
hey Tony, guess pledge will continue and continue until you (WFMU) gets 100% - however long it takes on back of storm damage! | |

FYI: Stephen Cohen is the main songwriter of the Tree People and the Walking Willows. He lives in Portland these days. |

Tue. 11/20/12 12:51pm
tonyc:
@ Flaming Youth: Unfortunately you are correct, sir. We need some wealthy 1 percenter to put a stop to this foolishness. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 12:54pm
tonyc:
Or a lot of not-wealthy 99 percenters. |

Big thanks to Doug S for turning me on to Harps of Fuchsia Kalmia. (No thanks to Doud S.) |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:18pm
Van in DC:

tonyc:
Hey: We're half way through the show with no pledges except for the one the mighty Danko made while I (and many of you) slept. This will not stand! Please pledge to help out station and stream! |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:26pm
tonyc:
Pledge even tho I'm terrible at pitching, won't you?!? We'll love you for it (we do already, but you know....) |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:29pm
tonyc:
To my ears, Leprino's is one of the best "cosmic electronic" LPs of the '70s. Very unclassifiable -- not Berlin School–influenced at all, for one thing. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:35pm
Doug S.:
Oh that Harps of Fuchsia Kalmia stuff is such a revelation! Favorite discovery of the year. Well, one of my top 100 "recent" favorite discoveries. (I need a discovery intern to help with all the discovering.) | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:39pm
tonyc:
Pledge-drive scientists say that long pieces are a no-no. Prove them wrong -- pledge during this Stephen Scott piece! |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:44pm
tonyc:
Or pledge for the psych and prog coming up next set. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:47pm
Van in DC:
I agree Doug! But mine are in the 100s at this point :) | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:48pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
or if someone wanted to pledge big on condition you played the whole metal machine music, or the whole nothing album, or six hour Lamonte Young droneathon (Wyton Marsalis -A Love Supreme) - I suppose you have to do it - Discuss | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:52pm
tonyc:
I will commit to a three-hour special of music from ANY country -- even San Marino -- if someone makes a generous pledge (at least $100) in the next 30 minutes. That person gets to pick the country, of course. For $200 I'll do any damn thing the pledger wants, as long as it's legal. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:53pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
that seems like a dangerous little promise at the end! | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:54pm
tonyc:
Well, and as long as no farm animals are injured. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:55pm
tonyc:
BIG thanks to Manuel de Brussels for his pledge!!! Hurray for Manuel! |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:55pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
pinky and perky do dallas soundtrack? | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:57pm
tonyc:
$200 buys you Pinky & Perky, yes -- tho you might want to invest more wisely. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:58pm
tonyc:
Not that I have any idea who Pinky and Perky are -- maybe I would love them. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:59pm
Carmichael:
Ethnic Labor Songs from Lichtenstein. Hmmmm .... | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 1:59pm
tonyc:
Oh wait, I DO know them! Singing critters from the '50/'60s, yes? |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:00pm
tonyc:
"Them" being Pinky & Perky, of course. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:01pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
yes they were something like the smurfs but more annoying for kids! | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:01pm
tonyc:
I will do a three-hour Lichtenstein disco-psych remix show, with everything playing backward, for the right money. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:03pm
valkoinen kukkaruukku:

What were P & P again? Rabbits? I have seen 'em on youtube. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:05pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
there used to be a closed groove grateful dead record - think the show never ends - I think it was called or something - you could play that for 3 hours for a dollar from me - or like FZ says - the torture would never stop! | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:09pm
tonyc:
For a dollar, I will name the space between two tracks after you. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:11pm
tonyc:
By the by, I've never heard the band Flaming Youth, but have been curious to. Phil Collins's debut, no? |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:11pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
is the whole of the Badge album this good? | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:12pm
tonyc:
Yes! The Kath LP too (Badge is an EP). |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:12pm
FLAMING YOUTH:
yes - the in the air tonight (not a phart) ex genesis, and that other jazz rock band (moroccan roll) musician | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:15pm
tonyc:
Thanks to listener Benedikt, of Germany, for this Dannon Wright track |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:17pm
tonyc:
Dannon Wright (a band name, I believe) were an offshoot of Cristal Webb. |

Only 40 minutes left: GOTS to shake some pledge action here! Please pledge if you can and haven't already!! |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:20pm
BSI:
Gonna have to hug my copy of Fils de Mandrin later today. Haven't played Ange in ages... | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:21pm
tonyc:
@ Uncle Michael: Thanks for the link to my BotB post on Badge (and other stuff)! |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:22pm
tonyc:
@BSI: I have a soft spot for Ange even if they can get kinda cheesy. Love that track in particular. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:24pm
Uncle Michael:
Thanks for making that post, Tony. I found it by accident, googling for Badge just now. | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:26pm
Uncle Michael:
I wish I was having as much luck finding the Kath. | |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:26pm
BSI:
TonyC: Ange is definitely a guilty pleasure. I didn't quite suss the cheese factor until I scored a live DVD of performances from mid '70s -- it's a riot. | |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:28pm
tonyc:
I have a (French-language) book on them filled with goofy concert shots, so I knew about that side of 'em. |
|
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:29pm
tonyc:
@ Uncle Michael: The Kath reissue just came out -- it'll probably pop up here and there sometime soon. |
|
Tue. 11/20/12 2:39pm
