Should I use this to name the show? Psychedelic jazz guitar for Halloween.
Robert Palmer
Parade of the Obliterators
Thanks to KBC for this one!
Roky Erickson & the Nervebreakers
I Walked with a Headhunter
He says zombie but the cover says different. Either way it's crazy texas rock & roll, recorded live in Dallas 1979.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Little Demon
This is from his 1991 album-- "Cow Fingers & Mosquito Pie"-- on Epic/Legacy. A man for the season.
Willie Dixon
I Ain't Superstitious
Not sure when this one was written-- the CD was (re)issued in 1993-- but this guy is amazing. I saw him before he died; he was a class act. No Wolf but wrote the best blues ever.
Howlin' Wolf
Evil
This version is from a 2-record album ("Chester Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf") on Chess-- every song is killer. And he wrote this one, not Willie Dixon.
The Psychedelic Aliens
Blogonyobi Wo Atale
Evil R&R from Ghana, from the 70s.
Music behind DJ:
Psychedelic Aliens
Hijacking
Sam Sacks
That Old Black Magic
Terrible, just terrible. But charmingly so.
Spike Jones
That Old Black Magic
Okay, I've been hanging out with KBC too much!
Esquivel
That Old Black Magic
Just one more. I promise. I know, I should talk over this but you have to admit, it's classy lounge schmaltz.
Stan Freberg
St. George and the Dragon
The devil made me do it.
Lee "Scratch" Perry
Scary Politicians
How appropriate-- not Halloween, Election Day. Scary politicians. New CD: "Revelation' (MEGW, 2010)
Manu Chao
Politik Kills
From his 2007 CD: "La Radiolina"
Music behind DJ:
Stan Getz
Witchdoctor
Moise & Alida Viator
Wangateur (Fortune Teller)
When this was recorded, about 10 years ago, Moise was in college (Pre-Med at LSU) and his sister Alida, the fiddle player, was in high school.
Wynton Marsalis
Billy Goat Stomp
Whatever else you may think of him, few work as hard to keep that old rootsy jazz alive as he does. From "My Jelly Lord"-- tribute to Jelly Roll Morton-- w/ Eric Lewis on piano.
Jerry Lee Lewis
Halleluiah I Love Her So
I have this on a vinyl double album on Pickwick.
Ozomatli w/ David Hidalgo
Aqui No Sera
A rare ballad from these L.A. rockers. Muy dulce!
Sandy Nelson
Happenings Ten Years Time Ago
This jazz drummer did some interesting things with R&R songs, like this Yardbirds classic.
Chubby Checker w/ Dee Dee Sharp
Slow Twistin'
From a strange album Chubby produced-- and sometimes sings on-- with a band called Texas Radio. Seriously mediocre, although this one is cool.
Gregorz Z Ciechowa
Piejo Kury Piejo
I guess this is a traditional Polish number, although it sound fresh and new.
La Primitifs du Futur
C'est la Goutte L'Or qui fait deborder la Valse
A great album of French/Gypsy w/ Dominque Cravic, Robert Crumb, Fay Lovsky and more. From 1999, on Harmonia Mundi
Fay Lovsky & la Bande Dessinee
Funny Bizniz
All the CDs we have from her are from the late 1990s; anyone know if she is still making music?
The Ting Tings
That's Not My Name
What is this? Who played this? Eugene? Stacey? You can call me Al.
Tom Ze
O Ceu Desabou
It says on the CD that this tune was "inspired by 'The Persians' by Aeschylus." Wonderful new stuff on Luaka Bop: "Estudando A Bossa: Nordeste Plaza" (2010)
Music behind DJ:
Either/Orchestra
Latin Dimensions
Bukka White
Baby Please Don't Go
The Modern Lovers (w/ Jonathon Richman)
Roadrunner
I've been a DJ on this station since the early 80s and I don't think I ever played this! It's about time.
Hi Jack, Hi All. I'm trying to avoid the holiday pressures but hard to resist.

Raced home so I could tune in.

Is KBC in the studio with you? You're not usually this clever on your own.

I've been conflicted about Manu Chao for a while, but now I think he's cool. I don't like all of his stuff, but he indirectly taught me a lot, I met a bunch of his high school classmates over the years. They probably looked down on him at the time, now they brag about the connection. Scary thing is I wouldn't have been any better.

steve krinsky:
Hey, Fred, I'm curious about your thoughts. Say more-- either here or email me at stevek@wfmu.org. He did a great job producing Amadou & Miriam CD; I'd love to see him live.
6:22pm
Tentley Bebinef:
This one ain't half bad. Where's the rest of your playlist, amigo?
6:28pm
steve krinsky:
I useta know an old hippie with that name back in the 60s but he can't get there from here anymore.
6:28pm
fred:
Hey Steve, I now realize how wrong my comment went. But it's right too. I'm french and oldish and have been hanging out in several scenes over the years. But I was not part of the original Sevres/Mano Negra scene.I have to make that clear. I'll get to you later, for what it's worth, which isn't much
6:34pm
Tentley Bebinef:
Now you're talking!
6:38pm
Tentley Bebinef:
Actually I know the Ting Tings aren't your usual playlist, but I love how this song builds. I saw them live in Boston (all 2 of them) and even an old 60's hippie like me was on the floor writhing in ecstasy. Or we were on ecstasy. Can't remember much anymore.
6:56pm
Chip:
I'm liking this. Keep it up!

Steve,
It seems like Manu Chao has performed every summer in NYC for the last 10 years!
He usually plays the park stages in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
I also enjoy the Amadou & Miriam album
I know many of my friends in Barcelona have had mixed experiences with MC as a person, I have enjoyed Mano Negra and MC music for some time.
I also kick myself for not going to see him perform in Chiapas Mexico in 2000. He showed up at this tiny bar and played all night
