Matt from Springfield:
Irwin, how could you sell out like that in the 70s??!!!! Hey Joe! Hey everyone! Seasons be greeted! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:11am
Joe McG:
Hey, Matt! I can say for sure that our Irwin had nothing to do with this duck. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:13am
Matt from Springfield:
Rick Dees however, was on the Meatballs soundtrack: I used to think he was singing "be bold", actually it was the title track "Meatballs". Is there anything else you know Rick Dees did? | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:14am
Joe D:
what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:14am
Matt from Springfield:
One time on BT's show someone was suggesting (sarcastic or otherwise) to pull out the "Mr Mom" soundtrack! WHAT was on that movie OST anyway?! It makes me think of the Meatballs soundtrack, same era, same lack of Huge-name stars. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:15am
Bill Murray the K:
"Star Wars........Those crazy STAR WARS...!" | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:18am
Joe McG:
I loved that bit. Made Bill M. a star. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:18am
Matt from Springfield:
Nat Roe didn't draw the line--I in fact first heard the most nauseating snippet of that from his Reverse Adult Contemporary Chartsweep! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:22am
Matt from Springfield:
Aw crap! Missed Millie by one song! I'll just have to pull her out later! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:23am
Joe McG:
@Matt: Ha ha ha! I think Millie would LOVE to be pulled out later. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:25am
Matt from Springfield:
Precisely! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:27am
LDF:
There's too many comps people need to get me for Christmas. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:29am
Matt from Springfield:
Maybe a VampiSoul gift certificate? They've been releasing great albums lately. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:34am
chris m:
really liked that m. ashraf song. oh you're playing my jam now - the boat that i row! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:35am
Joe McG:
@Matt and LDF: This Iranian thing is really great, right up there with Pomegranates from last year...Hey, Chris M.! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:38am
Matt from Springfield:
Redbone! And topical early 70s voodoo interests! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:39am
LDF:
Good recommendation MFS | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:40am
Matt from Springfield:
@LDF: I just wish they sold VampiSoul (and Subliminal Frequencies) gift certificates along with the Starbucks and Amazon certificates you see for sale everywhere. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:43am
Matt from Springfield:
De-Vo! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:44am
Adam:
Joe -- longtime listener of WFMU, first time listener of your show. Totally digging it. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:46am
Joe McG:
Thanks, Adam! Welcome! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:47am
Matt from Springfield:
322-6809...which area code? | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:47am
LDF:
I like this three song span going back in time | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:51am
Adam:
Holy crap, this Squeeze song. Now I'm just mad I haven't been listening to this show forever. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:56am
Joe D:
so McG when you gonna break out the Greg Kihn Band | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 1:57am
Joe McG:
@Joe D: I did pretty recently, actually! Played a 45 of "Roadrunner"! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:05am
Matt from Springfield:
Hmm, that was a TOTALLY different B-side to "I Feel Love"--the older Donna style without the Moroder touches. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:06am
Matt from Springfield:
"Before Wayne Newton, we heard Devo" That is a mark of radio quality!! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:09am
Julie:
Joe has on Santa as a live guest next week! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:11am
Matt from Springfield:
Will he stay for a few questions and maybe spin a favorite 45, if Joe leaves some really great cookies out? | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:13am
Julie:
A Santa's Single File! Sweet! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:15am
LDF:
Love this Flamingos song. I always forget how psychedelic it is... | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:17am
Matt from Springfield:
The Flamingos! 1959 was an important shift in the sensuality of makeout music--this heavy cover of "I Only Have Eyes For You", all the stuff by the Fleetwoods, the cover of "It's All In The Game"...a chapter in a music history book awaits! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:19am
Matt from Springfield:
I've been searching for that rainbow too, all over the glorious MGM musicals! I can never get over it! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:21am
Matt from Springfield:
Thought this was familiar! So long since I've seen Andy K and Danny D on that show! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:21am
Julie:
how come all the drivers on Taxi were American? | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:21am
Adam:
Oh, "Angela." This really is a beautiful track. It's a shame how overlooked some of these older TV tracks are as genuinely great pieces of music. I'm looking your way, George Aliceson Tipton. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:22am
Joe McG:
George Tipton! Great arranger. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:23am
Mike Sin:
That "Rangarang: Pre-Revolutionary Iranian Pop" comp proves that booze, cars, scantily clad women, and other great US-cultural exports can produce some awesome results. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:24am
Mike Sin:
re: "Theme from Taxi" "Goodnight Mr. Walters!" | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:25am
Joe McG:
Mr. Walters: Ugh.... | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:25am
Julie:
Mr. Walters:Grumble | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:26am
Julie:
boy talk about your flashback. Now I'm going to get all sniffly over Andy | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:27am
Joe McG:
"I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you..." | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:27am
Matt from Springfield:
@Adam: Older TV music can be pretty wonderful: Johnny Pearson was across the pond, but he did some amazing themes for British TV in the 70s. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:31am
Adam:
@Matt: I am happy to check him out! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:38am
Julie:
How about little Johnny Williams and the theme from Lost in Space | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:40am
Adam:
@Julie: And I might be remembering this wrong, but I believe he also played piano on the "Peter Gunn" theme... | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:41am
Matt from Springfield:
Good country song! And, it fits the Christmas season! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:42am
Julie:
Peter Gunn! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:47am
LDF:
I love the Bats. Daddy's Highway is a good album too. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:47am
Matt from Springfield:
Oh, is this a NEW new album by the Bats? I like them, and pretty much anything Flying Nun! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:48am
Joe McG:
@Matt: Yep, brandie-new Bats! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:49am
Julie:
oooh this is great... | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:49am
LDF:
Wow, that means the Bats' singer has a truly distinctive voice, if this is him in 2011. Great. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:50am
Joe McG:
@LDF: Yes, Robert Scott, ever youthful! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:54am
Julie:
I don't remember which one was Bats, I think I was going crazy for the Crystal Stilts..there was something almost Moody Blues about it. Or maybe I'm just half asleep and having Hayward dreams | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:55am
Joe McG:
Julie, stop lusting after Moody Blues' members. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:56am
Julie:
It's okay, I've got room in my heart for Justin AND Ray Davies. | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:57am
Joe McG:
Thanks for listening, everybody! | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:58am
Julie:
thanks Joe. See you on Christmas Eve! Start making those cookies for Santa | |
|
Sun. 12/18/11 2:58am
Matt from Springfield:
As I'm going to be out next week, Merry Christmas in advance Joe! Good Virgin Insanity choice! Have a good night everyone! | |
