This track was the best part of the Hateful Eight.
Avatar ♥ 9:16am PKNY:

G'TZAG, Joe and everybody! Is this going to be an OST theme show today? It's funny, just picked up 3 OSTs in my travels this weekend - "Across 110th Street", "Short Eyes" (underrated Curtis Mayfield soundtrack), and a reissue of Les Baxter's "Hell's Belles".
  9:17am Polyus:

Isn't this a Yes song?

@Polyus: It is! @PKNY: Wow, great sdtrk scores! I only have the first one.

Other Kozelek Tormato covers include "Don't Kill the Whale (You Big Fucking Asshole)" and "The Circus of Heaven (Where My Cousin Ritchie Got Crushed to Death by an Elephant)".
  9:20am Santos L Halper:

Hello Joe.
@Polyus: just caught the last few seconds but I think that was onward from tormato
  9:20am Polyus:

That's great, will have to seek out the rest of these covers.
  9:20am Claw!:

I have been neither here nor there. Existing and not existing all at once. I am Schrödinger's Claw.

I've been listening - just haven't been commenting as often because the show is on while I'm at work and it's been crazy lately having to pack up for the move at the shop. Moving all that vinyl is gonna suck ass. I'm starting to feel the stress.
Avatar ♥ 9:22am Brian in UK:

Joe here is another book recommendation. It was a book Christmas.

Avatar 9:22am Wild Neil:

@Claw! OOH, moving LPs? I remember that. I gave all mine away a long long time ago to JB my friend in Jersey City....I can kinda see the attraction of cassettes!
Avatar ♥ 9:24am Brian in UK:

An LP has that tactile quality that no other format delivers.
Avatar ♥ 9:24am PKNY:

If you're gonna call a song "Pigfoot", it better be funky, so props to Patrick Cowley for holding down his end of the bargain!

Good luck with the move, Claw! Don't scratch any of that vinyl!

@PKNY Pigfoot by Pigbag?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:25am Goyim in the AM:

Polyus: They are available on the fictional Sun Kil Moon 5x7-inch set called "A Tormato Hurled in the Face of the Band on the Main Stage Drowning Out My Brilliance".
  9:26am Claw!:

Heh... thanks, Cken. I'll do my best. Been weight training for the past month and a half to get swole for the move. I'm hoping I won't throw my back out or some other dumb shit.
Avatar 9:28am thedunkel:

This Dune soundtrack is awesome! Nice call!
Avatar ♥ 9:29am PKNY:

@Brian - don't know that band, and the Googles came up empty. Link?

@Claw! - bend at the knees, and do a bunch of air squats to warm up...good luck with the vinyl move, one of the major cons to having a sizable record collection.
Avatar ♥ 9:29am Brian in UK:

@Claw sack barrows and plenty of fluids.

Claw, where is the shop moving to? No one tells me these things! I guess I should have known with the Atlantic being shut down.
  9:30am Claw!:

Thanks for the tips, Folks! :-)
Avatar 9:31am Wild Neil:

@Claw-moving records up and down FIVE FLIGHTS of stairs in my old five story walkup on the Lower East Side.
  9:32am Claw!:

@sphere - we're still staying in downtown Silver Spring, so that's fortunate. We're moving up a few blocks on Georgia Ave, into the basement of the Suntrust building.
Avatar ♥ 9:32am PKNY:

"Chase" always reminds me of Cerrone's "Supernature", which is return always reminds me of the Benny Hill show.
Avatar ♥ 9:33am Joe McG:

@Brian: Book looks good! @Claw: Moving shop? Where to? Free advertising on my comments board today only. @Goyim: Ha, I wish this were all true, esp. the elephant one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park:

I presume Midnight Express is the reason the movie Airplane! had that gag line about the Turkish prison.
  9:34am Claw!:

OMG, Neil, I don't envy that at all. We just have one flight of stairs in this move. But I remember moving my personal collection down three flight of stairs a few years back, and I still haven't psychologically recovered from that.
Avatar 9:34am Cecile:

That and the fact a whole lot of drug-smuggling hippies did time in 'em.
  9:36am Claw!:

Hah, thanks, Joe!
The new address is gonna be:
Joe's Record Paradise

This set is fantastic, btw, Joe.

@Claw!: Ha ha! My show piped in, 24/7. This is my Original Soundtrack to Your Monday Morning set.
  9:40am sugarwolf:

My 10th grade English teacher always told the story about the time she went to the movies she was so traumatized and horrified she never went to the movies again. Much later I found the movie she saw was Midnight Express.
Avatar ♥ 9:43am Joe McG:

@sugarwolf: Ha! Sounds like my mom. She went to see "Gandhi" and that was the end.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

We need to all hop a bus to Silver Spring and create a bucket brigade line to transfer all those LPs. What's the number for Greyhound?
  9:44am Claw!:

Joe, I'd play your "Eleanor Rigby" show on repeat, every day.

The Knick was about a hospital, "The Knickerbocker" at the turn of the century in NYC
  9:49am Claw!:

I wanna see "Muscle Up." :-(
  9:49am sugarwolf:

The knick is set in a hospital circa 1905 I believe and the main doctor, Clive Owen, has a drug problem.
  9:49am josh:

The Knick AKA olde-time Clive Owen alternates between bad surgery and recreational drug use
Avatar 9:50am Chud:

There was nudity, gore, drugs... it had it all. Steven Soderberg wrote and directed the first two seasons, but he's not doing a third. If there is another season, it will be with new characters and a new director

Not sure about "The Knick" but a great Richard Lester movie made between the 2 Beatles' films is "The Knack" - Michael Crawford in his element.

I believe that there is to be a one-off Fawlty Towers. Lawd knows why.

i tried to give that "Wanda" sequel a chance.. it just didn't fly..
Avatar ♥ 10:00am βrian:

1920s, by the way, not 1950s. It's quite fun to imitate the characters. I'm working on my Carson. Needs more gravitas.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:02am annie:

cecile have you read any of those books, the historical fiction books by eric larsen? "Devil in the White city" is the only one that comes to mind
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park:

How close it it to the show that was on Comedy Central last year, Another Period?
Avatar 10:03am Cecile:

I started the one on Marconi, and it was good, but I just wasn't into it. I LOVED Devil in the White City.
  10:04am Claw!:

So wait, Joe - you won't watch gay porn, but you'll play Loverboy?
  10:04am Claw!:

;-P
Avatar ♥ 10:04am Brian in UK:

Joe, can you believe that John Peel played Wham!'s first single before release. That's freeform.
Avatar 10:04am Cecile:

The synths on Loverboy always threatened to turn into Devo, but then they just kept going on to be Loverboy. I do have a soft spot for "Hot Girls In Love", though. It's kind of irresistibly ridiculous.

Loverboy was OK...got any April Wine to follow up?
Avatar 10:07am Wild Neil:

I remember drinking beer in a field and somebody else's brother (older brother) says "try this on for size" and plays everybody'w working for the weekend. Meh. Downton Abbey is on PBS, not ABC. And its hard to understand with all the accents and their weird Briishisms. Still, the phrase "mister bates" is always good for a chuckle. He is a badass by the way...

you mean the melancholy piano part written by the guy who went on to murder his mother with an axe?

Aside from being a homicidal maniac, Jim Gordon is also a very funky drummer, he's behind the kit on "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band (aka the hiphop National Anthem), as well as Zappa's "Apostrophe".
Avatar 10:40am glenn:

ooops. i was wrong. it wasn't an axe. it was a hammer and then a knife. sorry, jim.
Avatar 10:40am Cecile:

Yep. He's not up for parole until 2018. And considering what happened last time, he won't make parole until then:

Who stole this riff from whom? Television or Duran Duran ("Girls on Film")?

Guitar was channeling some serious Neil Young there in that solo

duran duran stole it.

@Claw! Yes, I have heard. I think they have a sign on top of the locations proclaiming that it will be the Site Of The New Hammerjacks.

Ken, pretty sure TV was first by years.

Television was there looooong before Duran.

I once spent a weekend hunting for the Sviatoslav Richter performance of Mussourgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," a live recording from Sofia, Bulgaria, famous for his playing and the audience's incessant coughing and wheezing. It was nowhere to be found in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. I returned home and dropped into my friend's local record store, where a pile of classical used LPs, just acquired, sat on the counter. At the bottom of the pile? No, not "Little Johnny Jewel." It was the Richter LP. Fifty cents.
