Listener comments!

  3:06pm
37:

smokin hot arrangement... nice!
  3:09pm
DJ KG:

hey 37!
  3:13pm
J J:

Damn. This is seven years old already?
  3:15pm
Marmalade kitty:

gooevening kurt & all ..I wonder what the animation signifies here?
  3:16pm
Looms:

@MJ.gif: another coffee abuser?
  3:17pm
Marmalade kitty:

bonjour Looms! :)
  3:17pm
DJ KG:

hi looms, kitty, jj!

the animation is a mystery. if mn gif is listening, he's free to elaborate. but for now, it's just a strange guy in the corner...
  3:17pm
Looms:

Hey Kitty, you'll be proud of me: I have my tickets for the John Cale gig right here!
  3:18pm
J J:

@marmalade kitty Steve Reich goin' cuh-ray-zee.
  3:19pm
Marmalade kitty:

;) nice one looms! when is it?
  3:19pm
Brown cloud:

It IS a strange guy in the corner.
  3:20pm
Looms:

@Kitty: october 12th
  3:20pm
DJ KG:

jj: yup! i was hoping to have steve reich on the show today (which is why jeff made the graphic) but it was postponed. hopefully in sept.
  3:20pm
12539:

Where's MN Jeff? The gif is called reich.gif and that sure looks like his chin phasing about.
  3:20pm
Marmalade kitty:

Hi J J! :)
  3:21pm
Wild Neil:

Wow, I thought this was King Crimson.
  3:22pm
Marmalade kitty:

I don't know steve reich..
  3:25pm
Carmichael:

Hiya Kurt. Who's Steve Reich?
  3:26pm
Looms:

Guys, you must be kidding!
  3:26pm
BodegaMan:

whoa Steve Reich on the show, that's pretty darn exciting. I've wanted his box set for a long time, it's one of those "one day" purchases for me.
  3:29pm
DJ KG:

bodega - the nonesuch set? it's pretty affordable and way worth it!

kitty, carmichael and anyone else - steve reich is a new york composer, active since the 1960s, very interested in repetition and phase shifting. his work is remarkable.
  3:30pm
northguineahills:

I love these old John Zorn sides......
  3:30pm
Carmichael:

OK, works for me. Thanks!
  3:31pm
J J:

@KG Cool. Too bad he couldn't show. What excuse did he have THIS time?
  3:31pm
BodegaMan:

yes the 10 CD package. Ok, so it's part laziness. If I saw it in a store, I'd snatch it up. But I'm kind of lazy about getting things on-line.
  3:32pm
Daniel:

Funny to think where John Lurie's gone since those days. Or maybe it's entirely predictable. Anyway, wackadoo. . .
  3:36pm
Marmalade kitty:

MJeff, what is he dododododododoing?
  3:37pm
DJ KG:

what he's doing is dancing. that's how you dance to reich music.
  3:41pm
Daniel:

With respect, this animation is more like La Monte Young. Reich would slowly, almost imperceptibly dance to the lower left corner, and curve back again.
  3:42pm
12539:

The visual stutter cluster reminds me of the opening to Music for 18 Musicians.
  3:43pm
Marmalade kitty:

eye SEE..!
  3:45pm
Looms:

Another good thing by Zorn I've missed :(
  3:46pm
DJ KG:

yr not missing it now, looms!
  3:48pm
Looms:

For sure I am not :)
  3:58pm
Minnesota Jeff:

What if I told you despite the file name, likeness, and supposed confirmation by DJKG, that the image did NOT feature Steve Reich?
  3:59pm
Daniel:

Is it Stephen Hawking?
  3:59pm
Carmichael:

At first glance, I thought it was early Pete Best.
  4:01pm
seang:

the image looks like Arnold Schoenberg
  4:02pm
Daniel:

Looks like Schoenberg, feels like Xenakis.
  4:06pm
Daniel:

Chuck Barris?
  4:07pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Its not Chuck Barris.
  4:07pm
andymorphic:

shaving my head made me bolder
  4:09pm
DJ KG:

what if i told you i don't know what i'm talking about?
  4:10pm
Daniel:

I'd breathe a sigh of great relief, as I do whenever anyone says that.
  4:11pm
37:

back... sounds groovy!
  4:13pm
seang:

love this part
  4:13pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Opinion POLL: Does the whole of Cale and Lou's solo work surpass the few albums of VU?
  4:13pm
37:

hail yes!
  4:14pm
andymorphic:

i think this is the best vu album, what goes on!
  4:15pm
andymorphic:

cale and reed never even came close to the genius of vu
  4:16pm
Looms:

BLACK WIDOW! UUUUUURRRRGH!
  4:16pm
37:

and there is is ladies and gentlemen
Alice at his theatrical best
yes!!!
  4:16pm
DJ KG:

mn gif: it astounds me how much i love vu and how little i care about stuff any of them did after. not that none of it's good, but the contrast is ridiculous.
  4:16pm
Minnesota Jeff:

I know I personally enjoy a few Cale albums more than I do VU albums.
  4:17pm
37:

cale was vu
ok,,, you can all kill me now
  4:18pm
Daniel:

+1!

VU>JC+LR+n+1
  4:18pm
Cecile:

I like Paris 1919 better than I do Loaded. I'm completely indifferent to Lou, though.
  4:18pm
37:

i didnt really mean it... just stirring it up,,, sorry...
  4:18pm
Parq:

I never noticed before how much Alice's delivery resembled Burgess Meredith's in his "Penguin" role.
  4:18pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Oh and also: http://www.loureedmetallica.com/ - nov. 1st!
  4:19pm
Cecile:

Steve Reich is pretty great.
  4:19pm
37:

oy....
  4:20pm
Cecile:

I think some of Cale's solo work is great. Maybe the VU albums are better, but I listen to his solo work as much if not more. Lou, well. I like one or two songs, but meh
  4:21pm
37:

certainly is raising hell here....
  4:22pm
andymorphic:

cale and reed solo exist as songwriters....vu is about the music.
  4:22pm
37:

yes... john cale has had a spotty but strong solo run
lou, not so much... feh
  4:22pm
Cecile:

Metallica and Lou Reed are a good match. Neither has topped their early work. But Metallica put on a good show still. I dont' know about Lou. I saw John Cale in the 90s wearing a Hawaiian shirt and singing happy songs. He did do some old stuff as an encore, and I liked the show a lot.
  4:24pm
andymorphic:

cale is a great producer
  4:24pm
Cecile:

Hey, remember when Cheap Trick were doing their first three albums in order over three nights? I caught Heaven Tonight and it was so cool.

Indeed, andymorphic. But nobody ever seems to work with him twice.
  4:25pm
Mike East:

I'm gonna say I like the VU better - if only because I think Cale and Reed's solo wouldn't work as well for me if they didn't have the foundation of their earlier work with Velvet Underground to go off of. With Lou Reed especially, I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt that I think I wouldn't if VU didn't have such a strong impact on my own musical tastes.
  4:25pm
Carmichael:

Bun!
  4:25pm
andymorphic:

i have no doubt that he is a total prick as reed seems to be
  4:26pm
37:

loaf!
  4:30pm
Mike East:

I still blame Lou Reed for stealing my stapler
  4:30pm
Cecile:

Was it Belock? Brian Turner?
  4:33pm
37:

sporting life
ROCKS!!!
  4:34pm
Cecile:

wow, she sounds very Cher-like on this cut. Cher if being possessed.
  4:35pm
DJ KG:

cecile: (cher) HA!
  4:35pm
Looms:

Back in 1994, I didn't expect D. Galas to release such a record. It was so delicious to check it out :)
  4:36pm
Carmichael:

Who DIDN'T Jones play with over the decades? I have his version of Baja from probably '66, as well as all the 3 Day Weekend tracks for PJ Proby. I never knew his studio back catalogue was so extensive.
  4:37pm
37:

the supporting tour for this material was fantastic
  4:37pm
Cecile:

now I want a Cher album with John Paul Jones.
  4:37pm
Looms:

:D
  4:38pm
Minnesota Jeff:

Whoooaaaaa, I haven't heard any SGM in a long time! Still one of the best live shows I have ever seen.
  4:39pm
Cecile:

You got Dark Lady floating around, Kurt?
  4:39pm
DJ KG:

37: do you mean to say you saw diamanda with jones? (and let's mention also pete thomas (of the attractions) on drums!)
  4:40pm
Minnesota Jeff:

This song is so great!
  4:40pm
Cecile:

this sounds like the soundtrack for a puppet musical about Dracula.
  4:41pm
DJ KG:

mn gif: def! shame they called it a day.
  4:41pm
DJ KG:

cecile: you're not far off!
  4:42pm
Minnesota Jeff:

SGM has the best Metal Sink player and 2 X 4 Bass player I have ever seen.
  4:43pm
T-Zero:

@Cecile: Heh, I had to come look at the playlist to see who it was... also thought it was Cher at first ... was like, whaaat?
  4:43pm
Carmichael:

This music is not for "sleepytime" ....
  4:45pm
Cecile:

not sleepytime humans, sleepytime gorillas
  4:47pm
Cecile:

dark lady, play black magic till the clock strikes da da da
  4:48pm
Looms:

Oh goodness, Residents! WOOHOO!
  4:49pm
37:

yes dj kg that is what i meant to say
  4:49pm
37:

third diamanda show for me ever
  4:50pm
DJ KG:

holy heck, 37!
  5:09pm
Mike East:

crazy thunderstorm last night in my part of Jersey. Thunder shook the house.
  5:10pm
Carmichael:

You can throw some inclement weather my way any time. Sun, heat, and endless sunshine. Over and over and over.
  5:15pm
Looms:

Europe should have these weather warnings too: sadly 5 people died in a storm during the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium yesterday.
  5:25pm
DJ KG:

looms, i heard about that. in fact, we were talking about it while waiting in the rain for cheap trick last night, wondering about our own fates!
  5:29pm
Looms:

Sorry to make this Murder Ballad bitter (love this collection btw).
  5:32pm
slugluv1313:

ahhhhhhhhhh SO GOOD to hear DEATH VALLEY 69!!!!!!! and ooooooo ELIZABETH BATHORY!!!!!! my *lovely* HUNGARIAN ancestry!!!!!! :)
  5:42pm
Looms:

Checking out, thanks Kurt, bye all!
  5:49pm
hamburger:

hi!
  5:49pm
J J:

Anyone know where I can find a copy of the lyrics to this song? Having no luck so far.
  5:52pm
Listener Dave from Seattle:

It is all about butterflies and moonbeams.
  5:54pm
hamburger:

kinda seemed as though he was trying to tell the dentist it was the other tooth that needed removing, but it. was. too late.
  5:58pm
seang:

great show!
  5:59pm
northguineahills:

Great awesome show, Kurt!
  7:00pm
