Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 2, 2022 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Friday 8 - 9am (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Much of the story behind this one is in the Rolling Stone article. We don't even have a good idea of the lyrics and that's been a source of debate.

File sharing was great back in the day where you had absolutely no idea what you got on the other end.

This sounds like Blues Revolution to me, who were from Zimbabwe, at least stylistically.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm
Aitch:

Great idea for a show.
Can't remember the DJ, but someone was playing songs from Forgotify, the site that finds Spotify songs that haven't been played.
Not a good business model as ultimately self-defeating, but an intriguing idea.

I feel like this one should be able to be found, but's there so much 60s garage. I tired to search aspiration and godhead in WFMU and didn't find this one.
