Speaking of Sir Douglas, where should I start with Doug Sam?
  12:15pm egould310:

@JoeB I saw Silver Synthetic in Seattle last week. I was wearing a WFMU sweatshirt (I had like five people ask me about WFMU). After the show, I talked to the band about the station and Three Chord Monte. The lead guitar player grew up in NJ and listened to WFMU. Nice guys, good band.

Avatar 12:16pm Joe B:

@tim - be aware that the best of the sir douglas quintet is an album not a best of!
  12:17pm Andres:

Tim: I was prompted by that song to read an article about Doug Sahm. Seems there is a huge legacy there.
Avatar 12:17pm Joe B:

i'd start with the 1969 mendocino album
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:17pm tim from washington:

Yo prof! Things holding up in TX?
Avatar ♥ 12:17pm John L:

Tim: My favorite is Mendocino, which is hard to find. You can probably hear the whole album on line.
Avatar ♥ 12:18pm John L:

Yeah, what Joe said.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:18pm Handy Haversack:

Nice, egould! Jealous you saw the show.

Hey, Yes, efd, Frank, Baja Joe, medson, John L., drr, annette, drr, Woods, Marley, Woo, DjLorraine, tim, prof.fuzz, Andres, all!
  12:18pm Amy:

Every time I listen to Doug Sahm, I'm reminded of how underrated he is.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm tim from washington:

@Joe B - thanks for the pro tips!

@Andres - no kidding! I like everything I've heard on WFMU so I wasn't sure we're to jump in. I really like his Tex/Mex/zydeco songs.

Hey, Mike!

Yeah, I have had to wait out the prep school kids at Milano's.

Ach, Joe! I managed not to Belock myself this morning -- eating the Tofurky special now!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30pm Handy Haversack:

We think of Harefield Road as just Wburg, I think. Hoping to make it Friday!
  12:30pm Tom from Stirling:

Does Milano's have a good eggplant parm sub?

Tom: YES.

Looking forward to Pete and The Piggies on Friday.
  12:32pm egould310:

“Belocked” is now the official term for “not having a deli sandwich cut entirely through the bottom bun”?

I can accept that.
  12:33pm dano59:

I’m making meatballs for subs tonight
  12:33pm dano59:

tomato sauce is a vegetable, I hope
  12:33pm Tom from Stirling:

yumms, eggplant parm and FMU: perfect together

There's nothing more summer than a Benedictine and bacon sandwich with a juicy tomato.

Please go on, karlward!
Avatar ♥ 12:52pm Hubig Pie:

Benedictine and bacon of B&B liquor fame

I saw The Clash on this tour. So much fun. Gees, hard to pick a favorite album.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm McGroovey:

I was watching TV, and suddenly I had a psychic urge to turn on the radio, and magically the Linda Lindas song was just kicking off.

I'm taking my teenage daughter to one of the Linda Lindas/Jawbreaker shows, but I'm hoping to figure out a way to go to the Mercury Lounge show.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:01pm drr:

Loving the Meatbodies and my choice to have two linked Bluetooth speakers in my basement office! (Oontz angle 3 Raindance. Two for around $60. Mostly indestructible and very portable.)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:08pm Frank In Queens:

Hey Esther! It's off the Graham Ave stop on the L. Cool small joint that doesn't have shows that often. We plan on going, so it would be great to see you there.

does that mean actual stereo Stevel??
Avatar ♥ 1:11pm Esther Crow:

oh that'd be so fun and sounds like a cool new place. was heartbroken to miss the big TV eye show last sat (due to 2nd stomach bug this month). i'll see how i feel. also hoped to catch thelma and the sleaze at heaven can wait thurs.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:11pm Stevel:

Meatbodies just got added to the must-attend-when-possible list.

clarke: Yes. You can also run them mono. Very happy. I won't post a sales link, but look 'em up and see what they have.

You know it, clarke. We're why we can't have nice things.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm Stevel:

These speakers are designed to connect to each other, which made it nice, cause I hate learning new tech processes.

Handy: Good for you! Not a strong point for them, or many devices.

I agree. Just because Casbah and Should I Stay were so popular. So what?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 1:21pm Spankyflop:

Combat Rock has my favorite Clash song which is "Straight to Hell"
  1:21pm Amy:

That was an excellent rant, Joe!
  1:22pm egould310:

It’s not a sell out. The Clash were dragging punk towards the 21st Century. The audience were not ready.

The "Rock the Casbah" video was shot in Austin Texas, which was a fun thing to find out when I lived there. I probably wouldn't try to put together a tour of the still-extant locations though. It would underwhelm.

Mercury Rev was amazing on that split bill with Brian Jonestown last night in Philly. They killed it. Gotta say, I'm not sure I got BJTM though. Super sloppy sh*tshow. Odd crowd too.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:31pm prof.fuzz:

first band, jerk unicorn, played three little folk-punk ditties (12-string acoustic through a fuzz pedal + 2 drummers), and then the bar owner stumbled to the stage, mumbling to the room, reached up and pulled a switch, killing power to the stage. He then told Jerk Unicorn, "Your music makes me want to kill myself." The Jerk Unicorn frontman was very polite and apologized. Bar owner then flopped down on a nasty couch about 15 feet from the front of the stage and played "happy hands" with some random middle-age woman (who we learned later was NOT his wife, because Wifey was divorcing the guy and suing for ownership of the bar). Oh my virgin eyes! Fortunately, they left, we played our set and then drove up to Hammond for the night (we were playing Memphis the next night). When we got to the motel, FB was blowing up, asking what had happened to Jerk Unicorn at the BSB. The winning theory was they got booted for "jerking a unicorn" (whatever that might mean)! So, I wrote a song about it called, "Jerking a Unicorn." I won't post a link, but I'm gonna bet it's the only song by that title on bandcamp. :)

I was just listening to the Summer of Soul soundtrack last week. I got it from the library. My only complaint is that it needs to be a triple album! the high energy 'Everyday People' is worth the price alone.

I love how david ruffin says, we're going to go back to the olden days - to 4 years ago!

So bizarre. I was up late and night and one of the last things I did was watch a video with Taylor Hawkins and Grohl talking about this crazy road trip they took to go to a strip club owned by Pantera. Then I wake up the next morning to the bad news...

My wife is from New Orleans (hence the Euclid Records shirt), but she's not a going-out-to-clubs person anymore, so I rarely see live music when I'm there.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:49pm tim from washington:

@Joe - hahaha! I caught that too.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:50pm Fishtown Mike:

Going to try to get to the Eyelids show tomorrow night in Phila, if everything goes well. Might have to miss the opener. No excuse to miss, since its 15 minutes walk from the house.
  2:50pm clarke:

McG - get in touch nex'time!! (btw - no one has gone out in the past 2-3 years!)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:51pm efd:

@Fishtown Mike you won't be sorry if you go. Great live band! (And great studio band, for that matter.)

clarke, my NOLA career spanned 1986-2006, and Sly Stone was definitely a highlight of SOS. Wish there were more Sonny Sharrock and Hugh Masekela
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:52pm spodiodi:

thanks for all the great music today, Joe! ... just like the olden days
take care everyone
  2:52pm clarke:

hubig, you were in nola during the time i was mostly away. i moved back circa 97 - just AFTER the la pizza kitchen tragedy, actually - same week.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:52pm tim from washington:

Foo Fighters is not my bag at all and I think Dave Grohl is the modern day Phil Collins (sorry Sheila) but it's too bad Taylor Hawkins died unexpectedly. It seems like folks in Foo Fighters are genuinely nice people. I can only imagine what they're going through.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm full metal monkey:

Great show Joe. Thanks
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm spodiodi:

hear you, tim
  2:53pm goes211:

Great afternoon of tunes, Joe! Thank you!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm McGroovey:

@clarke I'll try! I have a bad memory for where people are from, though. We usually go in the summer. Not sure yet if we'll be going this year. I hate the heat, but my wife is a teacher, so we're stuck with New Orleans in the summer.
Avatar ♥ 2:54pm Hubig Pie:

That was a tough one clarke, we ate at LPK the Fri. before and our waiter was one of the victims
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine):

The video of Nandi Bushell playing "Everlong" with the Foo Fighters is one of the best things I've seen recently. Just pure joy, which we sure don't have enough of.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:55pm Fishtown Mike:

@EFD, thanks for the info, I'll definitely make it a priority.
  2:55pm Robin in SF:

Times Like These is a nice follower to Cold Day in the Sun. SO sad to have lost Taylor Hawkins. Excellent show Joe. Thanks!
  2:55pm clarke:

it's still so brutal to this day, HP!!

McG - i am around this summer (mostly)!! get in touch with EFD - he knows how to reach me.

Cheers Joe! Great show. Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:56pm tim from washington:

@Hubig - Yeah! I was listening to the Herbie Mann song and thought "holy shit! This guitarist is amazing". Then I remembered Sonny Sharock played with Herbie Mann. I haven't seen the film yet but was Herbie playing shirtless?

@Fishtown Mike
Did you hear the interview with Eyelids' Chris and John on WPRB last Thursday? It'll get archived on Esoterica's mixcloud eventually.

Tim from W. can't recall on that. The movie was mostly pretty great but it was frustrating when the commenters were stepping all over some of the performances
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:59pm Fishtown Mike:

@David S, no I didn't but will look it up. Thanks!
