Friggin hot

Tue. 5/30/17 3:11pm tomasz.:

hey Brian, hey all. nice, i've been thinking about Fridge, and that whole late '90s indie/post-rock/electronic crossover, a lot recently

Tue. 5/30/17 3:12pm Eric Hat:

Reminds me of blasting UI back in the day

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:13pm Michael 98145:

- a few touch & goes today -

Tue. 5/30/17 3:15pm Kurt:

What was the background dialog from in that earlier number?

Tue. 5/30/17 3:15pm Whooda:

Hey DJ Brian Turner, just tuned into middle of Johnathan Winters dialog....weird man, that's weird.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:16pm Cheri Pi:

BeeTea

Tue. 5/30/17 3:16pm tomasz.:

@Kurt: the TV show "Spaced"

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

present, yet somehow unaccounted for.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:18pm The Oscar:

That whole Jonathan Winters CD is so weird. My parents gave it to me as a kid, and I never quite knew what to make of it.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:22pm upsetter5001:

What is the background on the Jonathan Winters dialog?

Tue. 5/30/17 3:23pm Brian Turner:

Fridge

Tue. 5/30/17 3:25pm Cheri Pi:

No, but I've been to Nara deerpark wearing my WFMU tshirt

Tue. 5/30/17 3:26pm Anonymouse:

hearing this song on Hex Enduction Hour was the moment I finally "got" The Fall

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

Everyone remembers the moment they finally "got" The Fall. A proper rite of passage.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

Seeing the PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE vhs at a friend's house, circa 1986. The tune Wings did it.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:29pm upsetter5001:

When I heard "No Bulbs" I got it straight away.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:31pm The Oscar:

I got them pretty much right away, but I think the line that made me fall in love was "And then I took some of THESE-ah!"

Tue. 5/30/17 3:31pm upsetter5001:

@Rev. Perverted By Language was a game changer too.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:32pm Will from Seattle:

someday Sun Ra's comin' my way

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:32pm Chris from DC:

"Pay Your Rates" was it for me.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:32pm Mark Williams:

I remember how I did NOT get The Fall for a while. No Bulbs, in fact, seemed to irk me. But then the live version of No Xmas for John Quay from Totale's Turn did the trick. Silly boy, I was.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

god damned fine thing, buffalo.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:34pm Brian Turner:

Totales is the greatest live album in history

Tue. 5/30/17 3:34pm Brian Turner:

along with Fall in A Hole

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

CLICK.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:36pm Cheri Pi:

What he clicked.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

totally on the record as a 1971 supporter.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:40pm Cheri Pi:

Good year for me to be born in. Finally catching up on all the music.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:41pm Mayor Frank:

Hello everyone.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:42pm Mayor Frank:

Oh my!! Flying Nun!!

Tue. 5/30/17 3:52pm Cecile:

Aw, this isn't the Babs and Donna Summer song.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:54pm Cecile:

Mine was "Five minutes with the Fall" which was a feature some kid did on WCBN radio for about a year in 1981-82.

Tue. 5/30/17 3:57pm Bronwyn Bishop:

i personally am a big fan of 1972. i ended up setting a screenplay i was writing in '72 as opposed to '73 because i was making a playlist based on the top 100 songs of that year to get a feel for the time period, and i liked the '72 list better.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:02pm ?:

play some Belaboris, also released by Dark Entries...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:03pm Cecile:

It was as really big change from '72 to '73. Even as a kid, it was noticeable.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:04pm Mayor Frank:

The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face _Roberta #1972

Tue. 5/30/17 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

72s - ZiggyStardust, 'Exile On Main Street'...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

73s - 'NewYorkDolls', 'Quadrophenia'...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:10pm Bronwyn Bishop:

@mayor frank: yeah that was the #1 that year!

@revrab: strangely there's not a single song from either of those albums on the top 100 list. i have the top 100 list of that year basically memorized by now so I'm overly familiar with it haha. but the fact that those two albums are absent from it entirely says a lot.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:11pm Bronwyn Bishop:

i ended up making playlists for the top 100 songs of EVERY year because doing the 1972 one was so fun and i've learned so fucking much, honestly. i've especially learned that the years 1960-1963 were not as useless as everyone thinks

Tue. 5/30/17 4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'RawPower', 73...deffo not top 100...W/ the Sgt.Pepper anniversary Deluxe thang - been thinking of how Albums & Singles became different in Rawk...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:12pm Lopez:

The synth sound on this Rob Jo Star track (or whatever that weird sound blast is) is AMAZING

Tue. 5/30/17 4:13pm Mayor Frank:

I would love to read your screenplay.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:13pm TDK60:

Ahh...1973, twas the last year of the Sixties.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:15pm Bronwyn Bishop:

@mayor frank: thanks. its about a bunch of musicians down on their luck in the early 70s who get together/are forced together to form the world's worst supergroup. the main character is based on one of the beach boys. you'll never guess which one (well, maybe you will). its funny, or at least i hope it is

Tue. 5/30/17 4:15pm Bronwyn Bishop:

@tdk60: thats an interesting way of looking at it...i like that

Tue. 5/30/17 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Was it Ergo Phizmez Vicki played on DIY speed singing chart Hits together...what did she call that - 'chart' something...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:16pm Mayor Frank:

I'm sure it is. My latest creation is about the day of Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo's funeral, so I think we're on the same page...Good luck with your creative nugget.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Gwilly Edmondez Sings Chart Sweep'

Tue. 5/30/17 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

wfmu.org...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:19pm Bronwyn Bishop:

@mayor frank: thats interesting because I'm currently working on directing a web series that i wrote set in philly in 1980...so the tail end of rizzo's reign!

Tue. 5/30/17 4:19pm Mayor Frank:

TV Dinner Education?

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

My kick for 1971 started with Hawkwind's X IN SEARCH OF SPACE (still favorite LP of all time), then kept discovering that other favorites were recorded or released then...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:21pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

RRN63 loved that episode of PLU!!

Tue. 5/30/17 4:22pm Mark Williams:

i'm suing the next person that distracts me from hearing the next song Turner plays to distract me from work.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:22pm Mayor Frank:

He died in 1991. The funeral procession went up Broad St., amidst all the people he alienated over time. Aren't you from Philly? Have you seen the old out of print book: The Sayings of Chairman Frank or I Never Saw My Mother Naked? Good stuff.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

She's comin' back Cliff!
...Yeah - I was the youngest sibling & the oldest spoonfed me Music thru the 1970s - all that Prog & Glam & Metal & eventually Punk...just had to sit there.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:24pm Bronwyn Bishop:

@mayor frank: yes, i am. i'll check out that book- probably good for my research!

Tue. 5/30/17 4:24pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

I was the oldest sibling, I had to figure it all out on my own by digging through my parent's rekkid collection. And yeah, Vicki's back for the summer starting next week!

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:24pm D. Lightfoot:

White crinoline dress?

Tue. 5/30/17 4:25pm Mayor Frank:

Hard to find but if need be I can send a copy.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:25pm Mayor Frank:

Wayne, PA.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:28pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

First two albums I ever bought were Midnight Oil, "Earth and Sun and Moon", and Urge Overkill, "Saturation". Both on cassette. It was 1993 and I was about to turn 15.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:29pm Mayor Frank:

Turn it up!!!

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

Thirty-seven thumbs up for that Earth Jerks thing.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:33pm Chris from DC:

Holy crap, new Terminals?

Tue. 5/30/17 4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I got quite a number of hand-me-downs: My brother would buy an entire hippie's collection for $10 when they needed speed (or - so I was told!) - & I would get the doubles...The 1st w/ the cellophane still was 'Let It Be' - my birthday maybe - & I don't know what the 1st I bought on my own were - tho' buying TheWh♂'s 1st album in cut-outs for $1.99 @ the music store me mum worked out is memorable - in 6th grade maybe. For all I knew - I was the only Wh♂'fan in the whole world...

Tue. 5/30/17 4:34pm Mayor Frank:

That was wonderful.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:34pm TDK60:

That New Zealand sound.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:36pm Andrew Waterloo:

my older brother only really got into trendy things his friends were into. Stuff like Metallica, Boston, or Black Sabbath. By the time I was fifteen he was stealing tapes from me.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:37pm Cecile:

This is a classic from her.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:37pm Bronwyn Bishop:

SPACE GIRL! uncharacteristic as it may be, its my favorite shirley song. i love all the little references to the type of science fiction that was popular at the time.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

YASS! SPACE GIRL! How has this not been clicky-starred yet?!?! .. one moment ..

Tue. 5/30/17 4:38pm Lopez:

I bought an old compilation just to have this song. Awesome!

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:40pm steveo:

Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger wrote Space Girl in 1952 for a short ballad-opera with the title You're Only Young Once to be performed by the Theatre Workshop. It is a parody on The Ghost Soldier Song which was popular with American soldiers during the First World War and mocks most of the major themes of 1940s science fiction. A version of the song was recorded on The World of Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, Volume 2: Songs from the Radio Ballads, released in 1971 on Argo Records.

Shirley Collins sang a much shorter version of Space Girl on the 1960 LP Rocket Along: New Ballads on Old Lines. She was accompanied by Robin Hall, guitar, Jimmy McGregor, mandolin, and Vic Pitt, double bass.

Eliza Carthy sang Space Girl on the Imagined Village's second CD, Empire & Love (2010).

Tue. 5/30/17 4:40pm Clancey:

Space girl, new favorite song.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:42pm Michael 98145:

@steveo, thanks!

Tue. 5/30/17 4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Ewan also wrote 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' - just to be circular.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:47pm Mayor Frank:

P.S. just got my headphone gurls WFMU t shirt and it's beautiful.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:48pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

Now can you explain what The Who has to do with Mars (other than they can both be written using a ♂)

Tue. 5/30/17 4:48pm Carmichael:

Heya BT and particular music enthusiasts.

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 4:49pm steveo:

thanks DJBT for this amazingness...!

Tue. 5/30/17 4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Tue. 5/30/17 4:53pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

Aha, blatantly obvious now that you say that! Derp derp

Tue. 5/30/17 4:54pm Cecile:

Is Eliza Carthy related to Martin Carthy?

Tue. 5/30/17 4:54pm tomasz.:

@Cecile: she's his daughter

Tue. 5/30/17 4:54pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

Michael 98145: Can you believe I don't think I've ever seen that logo before? Sometimes I wonder if I know anything at all

Tue. 5/30/17 4:56pm TDK60:

That logo is more often associated with Mods in general. I think The Who picked it up more recently?

Tue. 5/30/17 4:56pm Cecile:

really? That's an iconic logo of theirs.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:57pm Cecile:

Im' quite sure they were using it in the 60s and I think they used it in Quadrophenia.

Tue. 5/30/17 4:58pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

I never got around to buying any of their albums, that's my problem.

Tue. 5/30/17 5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Quadrophenia' is 'about' Mods in the 60s...

Tue. 5/30/17 5:02pm Cecile:

It was never on an album, but it was on posters, and Keith Moon's drum kit.
here's what Michael 98145 posted. Another article noted that the red white and blue circles, aka roundels, were on WW2 British fighter jets. On a side note, I was digging through file cabinets of plane decals looking for roundels the other day while shopping with my husband for model kits.

Tue. 5/30/17 5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

One might also interpret the arrow as the Germanic Tyr ~ Tiwaz Rune...

Tue. 5/30/17 5:10pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

Quadrophenia was a movie too, not just a rekkid?! See I don't know about these things.

Tue. 5/30/17 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah - a 'RawkOpera' album in 1973, & a film of it in 1979 correlating then to the 'Mod Revival'..

Tue. 5/30/17 5:13pm Cheri Pi:

W>O>W>!!!

Tue. 5/30/17 5:13pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

The Beatles I'm all squared away with, The Rolling Stones I've at least got more than a passing familiarity, but The Who? Obviously I have a lot more to learn!

♥ Tue. 5/30/17 5:14pm common:

Tue. 5/30/17 5:15pm TDK60:

I dig The Who. I also like Ghost In The House and Entr'acte.

Tue. 5/30/17 5:16pm Cliff (temporarily not) in Prague:

"Týr is a Germanic god associated with law and heroic glory in Norse mythology, portrayed as one-handed. Corresponding names in other Germanic languages are Gothic Teiws, Old English Tīw and Old High German Ziu and Cyo, all from Proto-Germanic *Tīwaz. The Latinised name is rendered as Tius or Tio and also formally as Mars Thincsus." - quoth Wikipedia

Tue. 5/30/17 5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Wull Cliff - when Malcolm McLaren went around trying to explain the Pistols to people - he said 'they're like TheWh♂' - & I'll leave it @ that...

Wed. 5/31/17 12:09am Luna Cane:

Love it. Love the show. Always. Uh..."Sunrise (Come My Way)" is from 1973. I knew three of 'em to say gidday and shit to via the fact that I knew John Baxter (guitar) particularly well, and singer Alan Milano (the first LP had two lead singers) very well indeed. AMA I played in a band with guys in Buffalo when I was a teenager. Ha ha. :D Anyway like I said...thanks for another great show.
