Comment: Hello, my dear friends, and welcome to another Dusty Show Accuplaylist entry. It has been a while since I neglected my archives, but now, it has happened. Checking the archives themselves, it seems that this archival neglect initially occured from Sept. 2008 through February of 2009. A five month span of failing to tend to the archives, of dropping the ball, of being too busy to keep up. And now, it's happening again. I'm falling behind. Let's pinpoint where it happened. December 13th, maybe? And ever since. Over a month. I keep waiting to snap out of it, but life is interceding. I must find a way to work around work. We all must. This week's show was originally supposed to feature a lengthy story I wrote last weekend while on retreat. However, I have experienced a number of computer problems after dropping mine on it's edge on the concrete. It worked fine for a week, but now I see that te back panel is half-loose and slightly bent. My cursor has a mind of its own, and I find that whole sections of my story were oddly altered by the injured brain of my computer. Perhaps its brain isn't injured. Perhaps it is a simple malfunction of the typing mechanism. At any rate, I'm sure it will cost in excess of $500 and I don't want to spend that right now. They will say something about possible hard-drive damage and start bellowing on and on about data retrieval and additional costs and lack of warranty and might take three to four weeks and .... I'm going analog again. That's all there is to it. AND. That's IF I ever get out on the streets again. Haven't done a proper interview since the slump began. Maybe it's been some type of post-election letdown. I'm not sure, but I'm running on creative fumes and sucking up valuable airspace that some youngster could use to launch him/her self to wherever they dream of being launched to. The moon! I say we go to the moon in this de-cade and do the other thing!I found these 12 LP's upstate in my secret antique store. $1.50 ech. Buy 5, get one free. It had been a while since I lost my mind and bought too many crappy albums. I really did it this time. Here are the Dandy Dozen. 12 picks that each intrigued me on some level and promised (at least to me) to deliver at least 15-seconds each of something transcendant. Fabio sits in with me at the beginning of the show, and then bails as he often does to meet 'a friend' somewhere. Later in the show, I take some listener calls. Hope you enjoy this episode. Things aren't as they once were, but ... they never are. CPnyc12413
A new set begins: Jo Jo Gunne talk with Fabio.
Jo Jo Gunne Rhoda Bite Down Hard
A new set begins: Turntable Three - Total FAIL! Missing a Channel. Ground Wire Dangling
A new set begins: Again ... Jo Jo Gunne
Comment: What intrigued me about Rhoda was the thought that it was a BAND composition, as opposed to a Jay Ferguson composition, so everyone in the group puts their two-cents in. Drum solo, guitar work-out - unusual prog time-signatures. A throw down Jo Jo Gunne jam! Of course, it's relegated to the last track on the LP, where good songs often wind up. I like this track and think it worthy.
A new set begins: Fabio predictably trashes the drum solo.
A new set begins: 5-Minutes a Song
A new set begins: Fabio Dislikes It
A new set begins: AccuPlaylist Comments
Parker McGee Talkin' 'Bout Loving You Parker McGee
A new set begins: I had never heard of Parker McGee before, but guessed that it would sound pretty much as it does. Mid-'70's soft-rock, a format I mostly enjoy. Parker wrote some big hits, and this is no doubt his chance to shine as a performer AND writer.
A new set begins: Fabio Mocks the Synth Solo
A new set begins: Yoke Shirt and Latticed Piano Music Holder
A new set begins: This Sucks!
A new set begins: Dan Fogelberg Discussed
Comment: We actually did play a lot of Fogelberg on our retreat. He has many sturdy and sometimes moving songs. Sad he died of cancer not long ago. Dan Fogelberg, of Peoria, Illinois, always remembered, on Dusty.
A new set begins: Fabio ... Hardened Old Reptile
The Rings It's Not Enough The Rhythm Method
Comment: This Rings sounds pretty damned good to me. I like it. Nice ambient drum sound. A hook. Pleasant tones. Accepted into my library with a 6 rating, sax solo and all. I am letting sax back in because the hating of it is fascist. Blow, Danny! (Rick James)
A new set begins: Fabio Hates It
A new set begins: Stink Banned
Nancy Sinatra Long Time Woman Nancy
A new set begins: Co-Ramp
Comment: Something touches me about this Nancy track. Pretty melody. Evocative of the past to me. Makes me feel a little sadness that isn't altogether unpleasant. .

Trevor Rabin Red Desert Trevor Rabin
Comment: Cool effort from a young South African man bound for bigger glories. Pretty ambitious. Interesting where it led. Worthy, I'd say. Doesn't mean I love it, but it interests me. You? dusty@wfmu.org

A new set begins: Humpy Talk
Engelbert Humperdinck Too Beautiful To Last In Time
A new set begins: Fabio Returns to Say Goodbye ... Again ... and get Humpy with it.
The Dodgers Don't Know What You're Doing Love on the Rebound
Comment: I do notice a definite Mott The Hoople influence on this song. The guitar tone (Ariel Bender or Mick Ralphs .... more Mick-Like) and the song structure. SOunds like Marionette from 'The Hoople.' Then it sounds like Day Tripper, and then it gets psychedelic and backwards. I guess that's all GOOD! The Dodgers!

Comment: That's it for another episode of The Dusty Show. Thanks for listening, and for your continued support. I know it's been a while since I did interviews, and the show has been a bit more thrown-together than usual. I'll admit it, the 'job' gets in the way a bit, but I have to do it. Bills and all. Just like you. Still, I'll try to do my best and I hope you'll keep listening when you can. Fun times ahead, I'm sure. You enjoy these cold winter months and tune in next week, my friend. Until then ... take care and ... Always Remember ... Clay Pigeon - NYC
