I love this song! My parents had this CD and hearing the songs from it always reminds me of riding in the backseat as a child. My favorite was Closing Time. I made my mom play it over and over.

@BGZ: The problem might be playing start times on past playlists. The answer is prob right in front of you, on a playlist that airs *after* you play the lotto.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:38am Bronwyn Bishop:

Oh Bowie :( I found out after watching the Golden Globes, and they seemed so stupid and irrelevant after that. Then I woke up the next morning and remembered and had a horrible sinking feeling. I hate that there's a whole incredible generation of musicians who will all be gone sooner rather than later.

It is so crazy and amazing that David Bowie wrote a song about Uncle Floyd.

Right?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:40am pacific standard simon:

I suppose everybody who cares about music has that one artist whose death will turn the world upside down. For a lot of people, it was Elvis. For me, it was Zappa. I sympathize with those of you for whom it was Bowie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:41am Bronwyn Bishop:

For me it's going to be Brian Wilson. I'm going to be a goddamn wreck.

I hope I haven't just jinxed him.

@pss - Yeah, for me, it was Stevie Ray Vaughn. I was highly depressed for a month when he died.
  Mon. 1/18/16 12:42am V Priceless:

Hey Therese. Thanx for the Bowie. I can't even begin to imagine what an emotional roller coaster last week's show must have been for you. Been a rough week, but just back from Woodmansey/Visconti gig here on LI. Fabulous and uplifting sonic celebration.

“Vivino (who is now 63 and still performs frequently in the Garden Stage) told me, in a 2002 interview for The Star-Ledger, that Bowie once told him John Lennon had introduced him to the show.” www.njarts.net...

Did Bruce Springsteen ever cover this? He should have.

I bet there's enough covers of "Life On Mars" to fill a CD.

Springsteen covered "Rebel Rebel" at a show in Pittsburgh this week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:47am Matt from Springfield:

I always thought U2 could've covered this song - imagine my surprise when, years later, I discovered the Brian Eno producer connection between the bands (see comment above).

GrrrrREAT choice for Bruce, Therese!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:48am pacific standard simon:

Losing Brian Eno would be hard to take, too, but I have a feeling he's going to out-live me. Probably look like Gollum by then.

@ Therese - Really?! Somehow, I think of them as complimentary artists.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 12:49am BadGuyZero:

I misread "Gollum" as "Goldblum" and was trying to imagine Brian Eno looking like Jeff Goldblum.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:50am Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: As a kid I didn't quite "get" Jeff Goldblum - but now I like him! He is an acquired taste, indeed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 12:51am BadGuyZero:

He's like Christopher Walken Lite.

And Madonna wouldn't have the same career without Bowie's influence.

My favourite Goldblum role is in (Crononberg's) The Fly
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:53am Matt from Springfield:

@PSS: If we were to get into all the major and minor influences of Bowie on subsequent artists, how very many would not be around today or have a very different aesthetic..

Cronenberg* eesh

Always liked Jeff Goldblum -- he just keeps getting better. His cameos on The Colbert Report, ha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 12:54am Matt from Springfield:

Peter Noone even covered this song:

"Noone replaced Bowie's line "The Earth is a bitch" with "The Earth is a beast", in a performance that NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called "one of rock and roll's most outstanding examples of a singer failing to achieve any degree of empathy whatsoever with the mood and content of a lyric."

I heard a story about when Peter Weller was offered the role in "Naked Lunch" he asked Goldblum about his experience working with Cronenberg. Goldblum told him to be prepared to get some of the weirdest fan mail ever.

I don't know if that story is true. But I want it to be.

"Uncle Floyd" was syndicated to some extent in the early 80s. It aired on a UHF station in Dallas.

Seriously though, Tim Burton was ideal to do it the first time, I hope he directs it again.

Yes, you're right. The tributes have blurred together in my memory.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 1:41am BadGuyZero:

I'm looking on Discogs to see if there's a note about one on any of the numerous versions of "Diamond Dogs."
  Mon. 1/18/16 1:44am P-90:

OK, more than halfway through the show and no "Holy Crap" momemt. Yet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 1:47am BadGuyZero:

I looked at every 1970s vinyl version of "Diamond Dogs." None of the Discogs entries mention a locked groove. Missed opportunity there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 1:48am pacific standard simon:

Nothing at the Wikipedia section for locked grooves, either. Agree.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 1:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Holy crap! There are (as I type this) two people born in 1899 and are still living! I hope this doesn't jinx them.
  Mon. 1/18/16 1:52am rw:

pss and BGZ, you guys should get together and make a bootleg with the locked groove.

I've been hoping for the option to Star 'sets' within shows, not just songs or shows as a whole!

i want to turn it WAY up, but it's almost the witching hour.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 1:57am BadGuyZero:

We'll do a thing on Instructables about how to create a locked groove on "Diamond Dogs" using a razor blade.

If it isn't on this LP:

Self-locking grooves!!! We're doomed!

That locked groove is the seventh sign of the apocalypse!

Matt, i've always thought the same thing.

...but i guess it could conceivably insult some djs,right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:00am Matt from Springfield:

And to top it off, IBM's Watson is now in commercials - a short step to full-on Skynet. "Watson" isn't an anagram of Skynet, BUT it IS an anagram of "Sawnot". Too close for comfort.

On Jeopardy Watson's main weakness was puns, little contexts it couldn't grasp. So let's switch to a pun-based economy now, in preparation!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 2:00am BadGuyZero:

Some of the first pressings of Slayer's "Reign In Blood" have a locked groove at the end of side two. The falling rain sound goes on forever.

@BadGuyZero: Sounds like a thing for “Destructables!”

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:01am Matt from Springfield:

@coela: It would be nice if each show host could decide whether to turn it on or not. Just to praise particularly well-crafted sets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:01am pacific standard simon:

I would "star" sets just as rarely as I "star" whole shows.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 2:02am BadGuyZero:

I starred a few things when that feature was first added. Then I proceeded to forget all about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:05am JakeGould:

I starred Mary Wing’s (with Julie) show last night. 3 hours of covers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:07am coelacanth:

yes. it's for the wiser dj who knows 1)the set gets a star IN RELATION TO other sets in the program,
and 2) that no one can ever be anyone's everything!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:07am pacific standard simon:

I "star" programs to give a general indication of what kind of music I prefer, and "star" songs to remind myself of things to investigate in the future. Rarely, I "star'" a particular show that blows me away. You know.
  Mon. 1/18/16 2:09am victorwooten:

Great show as always
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:11am coelacanth:

i star things strictly for my own reference. i quite doubt that anyone else ever looks at them.
...if i thought so i'd star things with completely different guidelines.
(i.e. i never star songs that i own a copy of.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:14am pacific standard simon:

@Therese - I thought this Speed the Plough song was The Monkees' "As We Go Along", at first. Excellent foolery!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:16am coelacanth:

i star lots of episodes. if i particularly enjoyed it, why let it remain stored,unloved, during those times (the minority though they are) when live wfmu is not for me?
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 2:17am BadGuyZero:

I starred my favorite FMU programs. I was starring songs I liked so that I could look into buying the record later instead of having dozens of tabs open in my web browser during a show. But I'm a bit of a creature of habit. I quit starring songs because I still looked for them during a show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Mon. 1/18/16 2:17am pacific standard simon:

@coelacanth - I frequently look at the profile pages of other WFMU fans.

a. I can barely whistle
b. I probably have never heard the song that has the whistling

when people cannot whistle it's because that power is being diverted. it's up to you to find your superpower.

I cannot whistle; it's because I have British teeth.

i unintentionally but willingly cut way back on my alcohol intake - gradually, starting about 2 years ago. my tolerance has plummeted. it sucks.
i drink 3 beers and feel like crap for a day.
...3 years ago i could drink 12 strong whiskey drinks and people couldn't even tell i was drunk.
  Mon. 1/18/16 2:41am rw:

Oh, I have a VCR that works that way, but only because I ran out of outlets.

@BGZ: Tangential, but I managed to get my hands on that de-specialized, HD version of “Star Wars” (the original) and it’s pretty great. Truly a wonderful the fan community did there.

rw i have a small apartment, but i've rigged the electricity pretty well. practically everything is on power strips and i turn everything off when i leave except the refrigerator. i use dimmers too, for ambiance but more to preserve light bulbs.

When I was a kid, I drank three or four beers and had to throw up. Nowadays, it's like sodapop. The evolution of the aged body, I guess.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 1/18/16 2:49am BadGuyZero:

I used to drink A LOT. Then a few years ago I had a medical emergency and it was recommended that I drastically reduce my alcohol intake. Which I did. After my gallbladder was removed last year I pretty much had to quit drinking. I have a beer/cocktail or two once in a while. Now I drink club soda when I'm in social situations that involve booze consumption.

@BGZ: Well, I have the 1977 original. I have an LD transfer of “The Empire Strikes Back.” But as someone who grew up with the films, “The Force Awakens” solidified my feelings towards “Return of the Jedi”: I don’t like it. So I ditched that flick. I only believe in the original “Star Wars” and “The Empire Strikes Back.”
