No! Don't tell me Valya Balkanska with Lazar Kanevski and Stephen Zahmanov passed away this week too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:11am Joe McG:

Everybody's dead!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:11am Looms:

Not yet, he he!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:12am Wendy del Formaggio:

I'm not dead, but I am going to sleep now. Hi Joe! Bye Joe!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:12am Destroit:

Hello Joe McG, Wendy, and 12539.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:13am Looms:

I'm joking but Ben Gazzara passing makes me pretty sad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:14am Joe McG:

Hi, Wendy! Hi, everybody! Don't die yet!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:15am The Ungrateful Dead:

That's right, we have joined the fucking choir eternal. And?
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:17am Destroit:

Getting more juice in Edmonton.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:17am Joe McG:

@Looms: Yes, it's a bummer about Ben Gazzara. Recently saw "Husbands" again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:21am Joe McG:

Sorry I don't have any Ben Gazzara records.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:22am Looms:

@Joe: he had a second role in the last movie I've watched (again) with him: Opening Night, what a great peice of work. He was such a great actor... [sigh]
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:25am Joe McG:

I've never seen "Opening Night"--I'll need to check it out. When is that one from?
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:29am Looms:

It's a John Cassavetes' movie from 1978.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:30am Joe McG:

Pretty late one. Gena Rowlands in that one, too?
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:32am Looms:

Yep! I confess it's one of my fave movies of all times.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:41am Joe McG:

Wow, I'll def. check it out soon. Of all the Cassavetes I've seen (and I clearly haven't seen all), "Woman Under the Influence" is the one that gets me most.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:42am Dead Corporate Eyes:

hi you's guys.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:43am Destroit:

Quiet buzzing in Edmonton, great show Joe.

Wow, DCE on the Late Shift. Shockin'!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:46am Destroit:

Yep, gotta dig some dynamite out of this.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:46am Looms:

@DCE: hi you guy!
Ah man, Stetson is so mamazing... Perfect soundtrack to teeth brush before jumping into bed.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:47am Dead Corporate Eyes:

this is a good soundtrack to whatever may just be happening somewhere
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:48am 12539:

Unless they're running.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:49am Dead Corporate Eyes:

Loomss----how is things overseas? They keep telling us Europe is going to be the death of us all...I don't believe it, though.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:49am Dead Corporate Eyes:

illiterate while etc.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:50am Looms:

"tooth brushing" is the correct topic (oops!), sorry for my late broken english. See y'all!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:51am Looms:

@DCE: Europe, the death of who???? You're waking me up!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:51am Dead Corporate Eyes:

have a good night, Looms.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 12:51am Joe McG:

As long as Europeans keep brushing their teeth, everything will be alright.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:51am Ken From Hyde Park:

Get out the toothbrush paste for the toothpaste brush!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:52am Dead Corporate Eyes:

that may be true, but actual results may vary.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:52am Looms:

What a mess ;D
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:54am Looms:

@DCE: we're told US greedy banks will be the end of Europe here.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:55am Destroit:

Good night Looms.
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:56am Dead Corporate Eyes:

We're all told things aren't true. All the time! Yay!
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:57am Dead Corporate Eyes:

I believe that guitar, though
  Sun. 2/5/12 12:57am Looms:

Words of truth, bye!

Yes, you should Joe.

i hope you do finger and 7" placing muscle stretches before the single file segment?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:09am Joe McG:

And now, songs about pipelines.
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:10am The Ungrateful Dead:

he does know how to handle the hole correctly already, right?
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:12am Destroit:

Good lord, ok, get busy with pipelines. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:12am Joe McG:

@emma: Yes, of course, must keep in shape. @Ungrateful Dead: Naturally.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:14am Joe McG:

OK, I lied about the songs about pipelines. Although I nearly DID bring my Joe and Bing 45.
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:15am Dead Corporate Eyes:

Herbie, destroy it!!
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:18am Destroit:

Yep, Herbie is flaunting

It's Mick Taylor!
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:19am Dead Corporate Eyes:

  Sun. 2/5/12 1:21am Dead Corporate Eyes:

I think I would have gotten along fabulously with both of these gents. As well as the rest of the band.
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:23am Dead Corporate Eyes:

Flute is great. For some reason a lot of people hate the sound. But, hey, I love bagpipes, so what do I know?
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:38am Joe B:

Hi Joe, show sounding great in the car radio, thanks for getting me home!

@Joe B: Hey, Joe! Always glad to know you're listenin' in the car!
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:40am Joe B:

re Husbands - one of the top 3 vomiting scenes in film history!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:41am Joe McG:

Top 3! Almost as good as the guy from Pissed Jeans in that YouTube video, or that kid in the band playing drums...
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:44am Joe B:

Detroit Rock City also has a great one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:45am Joe McG:

What's #1 on the list?
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:48am dinatekno:

Sorry to be late to the Gazzara/Cassavetes conversation - BUT...Husbands, Opening Night & Killing of a Chinese Bookie are my favs...I just came from a viewing party. Thanks for confirming my sense of real loss. And Jow, Thanks you for playing my 30 year crush - Lloyd COle. My night is sublimely melancholy.
  Sun. 2/5/12 1:49am dinatekno:

oops - Joe, NOT Jow...WHAT?!?!?!? NOW you are playing TRANSLATOR?!?!?! I LOVE you!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 1:51am Joe McG:

Hi, dinateko! Mixing up the melancholy, just for you!

Hey, Brian! Yes, EOE were Americans. Produced by Link Wray! Tell me about the Chillis!
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:28am T-Zero:

Never saw them, Joe. That was in Indiana at the time, and I lived in this little rural town then...
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:29am king penguin:

This Little While is a great song. Anyone else do it. Thanks.

@king penguin: As far as I know, no one has had the immensely good taste to cover this song. Please correct me if someone knows differently.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:32am king penguin:

I might correct you by covering it myself!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 2:33am Joe McG:

@KP: You should, man! Do it proud.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:34am Brian en Angleterre:

Saw them at the Roundhouse in '74 playing Zigzag fanzine 5thbirthday concert. John Stewart, Mike Nesmith, Man. You get the drift. Dare I say they were the English Band. Alright no one could sing like Danko or Manuel but they could just whistle thru songs in the same manner. They also had a great sense of fun, which as you know is priceless. Their first album is basically Martyn & Phil.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:35am T-Zero:

Tim McGraw on Please Remember Me with Phil Vassar
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:35am Brian en Angleterre:

You could tell how good they were from where they went after the band broke up. Costello, Residents etc.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 2:38am Joe McG:

Really jealous, Brian! Would've loved to see a bill like that! Wasn't Pete Thomas in Chilli Willi?
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:40am king penguin:

Talking about pub rock, it occurred to me other day Brinsley Schwarz came out when i was high school. That was, as the song goes, a long, long time ago.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:41am Brian en Angleterre:

Yea, he sat in with John Stewart who only brought over Arnie Moore on bass. John liked him so much thst he went to the US to tour with him soon after. Later he formed the Attractions.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:42am T-Zero:

Or is Tim McGraw (Phil Vasar) something totally different from Ernie Graham?
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:43am Brian en Angleterre:

Dandelion was John Peel's label!!
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:45am Brian en Angleterre:

Really, snow? We haven't had hardly any at all this winter....
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:50am Brian en Angleterre:

Yea, north of UK has already had plenty, we in the south had some last night. Main roads look clear. There can be up to 11C temp change from one day to the next. Wacky.
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:51am Brian en Angleterre:

Who is playing the guitar on this Mac track, Joe?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 2:52am Joe McG:

Either Bob Welch or Danny Kirwan. I'm guessing Bob, but don't quote me!
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:56am Brian en Angleterre:

You're trapped in the archive for eternity. Talking of which, must check out the Bulgarian sounds at the start of show later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Sun. 2/5/12 2:58am Joe McG:

Thanks as always for tuning in, Brian. Thank you ALL for listening! Had a great time, as ever. Have a great week!
  Sun. 2/5/12 2:58am Brian en Angleterre:

Ensign, The Boomtown Rats label? This is getting nerdy.
  Sun. 2/5/12 3:00am Brian en Angleterre:

Good luck with the Marafun, Joe. Appreciate all the hard work.
Bye T-Zero.
  Sun. 2/5/12 3:01am T-Zero:

Stay safe and warm, Brian. Careful not to slip collecting eggs.
  Sun. 2/5/12 3:01am T-Zero:
