Upcoming events:

Sun. Jan 26th, 8pm - 10pm: Tribute to Neil Innes, with Ira Kaplan (More info...)

Gaylord Fields will be joined by Yo La Tengo member (and WFMU fill-in DJ) Ira Kaplan to talk a little about and play a lot of the music of the late Neil Innes. (Yo La Tengo has backed Innes live, cultivating a friendship in the process.) From the Bonzos to the Rutles to Innes' solo work and beyond, this program will merely scratch the surface in its attempt to honor the life and career of the master singer/songwriter/parodist and "seventh Python."

	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:06pm V Priceless: Hey Gaylord! How are ya?
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:08pm Gaylord Fields: @V Priceless: Ask me in two hours. Right now I'm delegating all thought and feelings to this show. How are you?
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:09pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord feels pretty good. I can tell by listening. Greetings all.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:11pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Uncle Michael. I'll accept your assessment.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:12pm JakeGould: Today was a weird day but this show is good so far. So hey!
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:12pm Monica: love this disco brigitte - et vous, gaylord!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:14pm Gaylord Fields: Monica! I love you right back!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:15pm V Priceless: @ Gaylord - not too shabby, thanx! Hey Uncle M!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: "Sudden Death Overtime" is a good song title on a day when NFL football is being played.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:22pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: I may have to flag that comment as a penalty against my "no NFL talk" rule.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:22pm Gaylord Fields: Upon further review, the comment stands.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:23pm Mark: This Rotary Connection track is simultaneously groovy and hilarious.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:24pm dale: tuned in and am getting turned on in turn. was minnie ripperton in the rotary club?
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:24pm V Priceless: @ dale - yes!
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:26pm drewo: Sadly there was no overtime for Mary Hansen, but it's nice to still hear her on WFMU.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:26pm glenn: how about c.f.l.? it's grey cup day.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:26pm Mark: Actually, what I like to do is watch that forbidden sport on the TV with the sound off while Gaylord's tunes provide the soundtrack. It doesn't sync up quite as perfectly as "The Wizard of Oz" and "Dark Side of the Moon," but it works pretty well.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:27pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: My favorite Grey Cup matchup -- the Roughriders vs. the Rough Riders!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:27pm Gaylord Fields: CFL talk is allowed on this board.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:30pm glenn: today it's the stampeders vs. the tiger-cats.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:30pm Mark: I must confess I've been accused of roughriding once or twice.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like the Grey Cup ceremonial kick-off. I see that the pre-game show starts at 6:00 ET, so there's time to get snacks lined up.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:34pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: I'm really not trying to make fun of the redundancy of CFL names, but Tiger-Cats is apretty great one -- as opposed to what, "Tiger-Bears"? Go, Steagles! Go, Carpets!
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:34pm glenn: it's always a great game. you never know what weird whacky shit will transpire.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm over CFLs. It's LEDs from here on out.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:35pm JakeGould: Saskatchewan & Ottawa… Now that is one rivalry.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:35pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: Even without Justin Bieber this year?
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:36pm glenn: don't ask me, although i think at one time there was a team named the tigers, and one named the cats and they merged.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:36pm dale: screw football. is there a good game of nine-pin on somewhere?
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:36pm glenn: the beebs probably doesn't even know what month it is.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:37pm JakeGould: “…the tigers, and one named the cats and they merged.” Catigers!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:38pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: You do celebrate Bo-vember in Canada, right?
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:38pm sugarwolf: What is this, Sportsy Talk?!?
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:38pm Mark: So now both female vocalists from Stereolab have been represented. I never realized Mary did any solo albums. Eerily prophetic title of Mary's song considering her final circumstances.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:39pm glenn: napoleon dynamite is jake gould.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:39pm Monica: now that was a killer diller segue, g.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:40pm JakeGould: Glenn, I really hated “Napoleon Dynamite.” I mean I still really hate it. Never found it funny. So please, a new analogy or else.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:41pm glenn: ummm. sorry.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:41pm Gaylord Fields: @sugarwolf: But it's CANADIAN Sportsy Talk! So you can't be 100% against it.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:41pm dale: damn! this joe simon tune is hot, too.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:41pm JakeGould: Mark, it was a posthumous E.P. release of a few of her recordings. www.duophonic.com...
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Thanks! And then Joe Simon goes and gets the digital hiccups!
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:42pm glenn: besides, sportsy talk is a great show. bronwyn's a genius.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:44pm Monica: so wait, is CanCon in effect here?
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:44pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark @Jake Gould: I once did a tribute show to Mary (who was a friend) but, as I often do, I didn't call any attention to it at the time. This is actually the first time I've acknowledged it, but it seems appropriate to come clean.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Shhh... efd owns that racket!
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:50pm Mark: That was such a shock--I'm sure it still is. I have a soft spot for the early years of Stereolab. I have video somewhere of my baby daughter falling asleep in a little swing to a tune from "Emperor Tomato Ketchup." That baby goes to Fordham now. Time flies. Great show--your segues are great. They shouldn't work, but they do!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:53pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark: "They shouldn't work, but they do!" That's WFMU in a sentence.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:57pm Mugsy: Hi Gaylord and all on the board.
	Sun. 11/30/14 5:58pm JakeGould: “They shouldn't work, but they do!” And attempting to make things that don’t seem to work work is art. There.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:59pm V Priceless: Johnny Maestro (RIP) always did a superb version of this. What a voice.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 5:59pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Mugsy!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:09pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: That's a very good definition!
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:13pm P-90: Good evening DJ Gaylord and Friends. I'm glad to see Van McCoy coming up for reappraisal. Actually, I'm still in my Bob Crewe mourning/retrospective phase. His passing kind of got to me. Over the holiday weekend I was listening to his Barbarella soundtrack and falling in love with it again; after the Four Seasons songs he wrote/produced, I maintain that was his finest hour.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:15pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: Thanks. That art epiphany came to me when I was exposed to the works of minimalist artists like Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Walter De Maria and mainly Dan Flavin as well as James Turrelll. What they all did with so little… But then created something so different. That I admire. Also, fuck “Napoleon Dynamite.” I hate that film.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:17pm glenn: we gathered that. vote pedro!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:19pm Gaylord Fields: @P-90: The team of Bob Crewe/Bob Gaudio/Charlie Calello need to receivethe kind of love given to, say Bacharach/David -- not that I'm saying they're equals, but the former trio should be discussed in the same breath a little more.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...joined faceborg, so perhaps the comments boards will get a bit of a break?? - in the meantime - excellent As Ever Mr. GF...
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:20pm JakeGould: Impeach Pedro!
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:21pm Syd: Good to hear that Richard Hayman Gaylord. Hellen Merrill with Strings is his arrangements and is a not well known gem.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:22pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm surmising you won't be away for too long. We have a way of getting under one's skin. And thanks for the the kindness!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:22pm Gaylord Fields: @Syd: True, true.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh - I'm listening!...Faceborg wants everybody to use their real names...weird!...
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:26pm Uncle Michael: Lovin' Hugo!
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: @RRN63 - Sounds like you need to go to city hall tomorrow and pick up a change-of-name form.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...always like 'Fred'...
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:32pm P-90: @Gaylord, exactly! Whether or not they are "as significant" as Bacharach and company, those three should really be "discussed more." And Crewe had a real style of his own as a writer-arranger, which developed beautifully no matter which collaborators he was working with.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:41pm Uncle Michael: I'm kind of sweet on on the Gaudio/Holmes team.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:45pm frenchee: be still my heart (man): Johnny Hartman AND playlist comments on G's show! Life is good.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:47pm Gaylord Fields: @frenchee: See, dreams can come true! One of mine did when you just checked in.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:49pm glenn: summer pudding. so, jello, then.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:50pm TheDJB: This Po! sounds a lot like Speed the Plough, is there a prize for observing this?
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:51pm frenchee: aw, go on, Gaylord. GO ON.... <3
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:52pm Gaylord Fields: @TheDJB: Yes.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:52pm dale: several thumbs up for paul williams.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:53pm Gaylord Fields: @frenchee: Bringing back a Terre T classic! Almost as good as having TT here herself!
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:53pm glenn: is the prize a plowshare?
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:54pm TheDJB: Awesome! Wait, what?
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:54pm glenn: or ploughshare, i suppose.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:55pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: Close -- it's a truckload of post holes.
	🎃 Sun. 11/30/14 6:55pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: Thanks for being bilingual.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:55pm TheDJB: I will say this ... the Google does not want me to find any information about the Po! So I'll take solace in my prize(s).
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:57pm glenn: i can ling withe the best.
	Sun. 11/30/14 6:58pm glenn: typing, on the other hand....
	Sun. 11/30/14 7:00pm dk: there really should probably be an official annual worldwide mary hansen memorial holiday.
