These tunes are hitting the spot on a snowy day.

9:28am DaveinPA:

would bebop have been bebop without drugs drugs and more drugs - like man those cats were on something

♥ 9:39am Clïff in Prägůe:

Yeah, heroin

♥ 9:47am Clïff in Prägůe:

& the ancient Greeks spent a lot of their time blasted on opium & weed & god knows what else, and they went and founded Western Civilization. So there!

♥ 9:52am Guido from Cologne:

How different the Yardbird's version is from the original ...

♥ 9:58am βrian:

You were almost a "fallen DJ."

♥ 10:03am Asheville Jon:

10:04am ga01:

Morning !

10:04am mauri:

Heyllou Krinsky. Great show going on!

10:07am SeanG:

♥ 10:07am Steve Krinsky:

Hola listeners: I'm into this groove but moving towards some blues and African music. We'll see where that takes us.

♥ 10:09am Lewis:

long time no hear! nice to see you on the marque...

♥ 10:15am βrian:

I don't recall the music and I don't recall the guitar. But the wine? Ah, the wine was Volnay.

10:27am Anon. Freq.:

oh wow, this is sonically transporting mee to Africa, hot dang

♥ 10:40am coelacanth∅:

Greetings Steve. your voice on the radio is giving me flashbacks.

♥ 10:41am Adrian in London:

Hello Not Trouble! Sounding good.

♥ 10:42am Steve Krinsky:

My voice giving flashbacks to me too!

♥ 10:43am βrian:

I think all club DJs should use human drummers.

♥ 10:47am coelacanth∅:

i like that track but i think it's a shame when an excellent drummer as Sly Dunbar chooses programed electronics instead.

♥ 10:47am sphere:

all LPs must be spun continuously by humans as well.

10:49am Jack:

Jagger might be a dick sometimes, but he often doesn't get the respect he should as a vocalist. He shines on this new album.

♥ 10:51am coelacanth∅:

sphere, so our hamster-powered turntables are now obsolete?

10:51am MenfussMike:

charlie fuckin' watts

10:51am SeanG:

iggy?

♥ 10:52am Greg from ZONE 5:

Great Snow Day soundtrack, Steve!

♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Selector less attention than other TwoTones - I miss hearing them.

♥ 10:54am coelacanth∅:

agreed. Jagger -dick, Amazing vocalist. 'probably not nearly as much of a dick as many others in the business though.

♥ 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Jagger let's face it - only Iggy comes close to challenging him as GreatestFrontmanEver (...Bowie in there close). Our great androgynous Shaman. A great singer, obviously. MuddyWaters: 'They took my Music - but they gave me my Name.' ...Wow!...Being MickJagger certainly not a job I could even understand - but being - ThuhBadBoyz - whatever the Stones do , it's like they get a pass - like it's their job to do it...Except: being boring. Don't do that...

♥ 10:58am steveo:

24-36-89?

11:10am al romano:

Hey, Steve! Belated Happy Birthday. I'm hoping you're alright. I'm in Manahawkin, near LBI, permanently, and doing an adjunct gig at Ocean County College Are you still in my hometown (JC)? All the best Al

♥ 11:11am Steve Krinsky:

Hey Al, Happy Bday to you too. Where are you these days? Wanna meet me at Park Tavern for a beer? Email me at stevek@wfmu.org

♥ 11:13am Steve Krinsky:

Oops. I wrote before I read entire message. Still, stay in touch.

♥ 11:14am coelacanth∅:

i like that - "being MickJagger not a job I could even understand". yeah, i wont even go onstage, unless i can be behind someone or crouched in a corner.
...he's just a shrewd business person. at least he never stole his best friend's wife; or emotionally and physically tortured his bandmates; or adorned his person with nazi symbols....

♥ 11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Heh GoHenryGo - the NewEnglandTranscendentalist Boogie.
(Belated) ♒Aquarian Solar Returns !
FMU's not about requests for me - it's about getting turned on - but got any Jay Farrar in the bag?
...wull, BrianJones is a sore point - but, yeah...

♥ 11:16am Brian in UK:

Steve, great to hear you filling-in and it is not for Jeffrey.

Quick note on drummers, all these talented musicians that play all the instruments on their records would do well to consider having a drummer as the only outside player. For balance and quality.

♥ 11:18am coelacanth∅:

oh yeah, duh. Brian. i guess they were pretty brutal there.

♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...otoh - the Brians & Syds & Moons - handfuls to say the least...

♥ 11:20am coelacanth∅:

...and i never forgave them for what they did to the verve; but it's possible that was allen klein or some other industry douchebag.

♥ 11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...that too..as if 'Last Time' wasn't ripped from TheStaples or such...

♥ 11:22am Brian in UK:

Mick sure is a business man. Did he have a best friend?

♥ 11:23am coelacanth∅:

yes exactly! the beatles "borrowed" some riffs, but they sure's hell never sued any of the thousands that took from them either.

♥ 11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I'm sure many would attest to his humanity.Mick's Super♌Leo & that's that. Oh - the Fabs ended up in Kleinland too. They don't have to sue - no one even tries. But they were the NiceOnes...

♥ 11:26am Brian in UK:

Was it the Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra that was sampled?

♥ 11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah.

♥ 11:29am coelacanth∅:

i think it was. i forget now but the way it was used it's barely recognisable, and they were given permission up front. then some publishing asshole decided they'd used "too much" of it or something.
100% unethical and it screwed the verve forever.

♥ 11:30am Clïff in Prägůe:

Another ♌Leo here, I've actually got the same birthday as Mick Jagger

♥ 11:31am Clïff in Prägůe:

Don't have his swagger though....

♥ 11:31am Brian in UK:

On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.

@Cliff, how are you doing in Prägůe?

11:31am Stuart Rose:

I think we all agree that Steve needs a regular, or at least a semi-regular gig at FMU.
He's a master DJ the way he moves from grove to grove, modulating mood from set to set.

11:34am Stuart Rose:

Hey, Coelacanth, who was the frontman who mentally and physically abused his bandmates?

♥ 11:34am coelacanth∅:

i do agree with that

♥ 11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Listen to 'BittersweetSymphony' & tell me you'd ever think 'Last Time'. Mick's got ☉Sun ☌Conjunct ♇Pluto - he's a collective power archetype, obviously. Pleased to meet you.
Dammit - you wish about every FMU-J was their own stream.

♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅:

captain beefheart...but i'm sure there's a few.

♥ 11:36am Clïff in Prägůe:

Hi Brian, unfortunately been having some health problems, will have to go back to the US soon for treatment. But it was pretty amazing here these 8 months, hoping I can visit a few more European cities before I go back

♥ 11:39am Sem Chumbo:

Pretty great, right here, this Thile and Mehldau. Thanks.

♥ 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Oh Beefheart - that was a Cult. That's why it sounds like TheShaggs same time from opposite direction - its' own world...

♥ 11:40am Brian in UK:

Cliff, that is a step back, but health is everything. So, no question.
Did you manged to see Mucha's Slav Epic exhibition at the National Gallery?

♥ 11:43am Clïff in Prägůe:

I actually had this trippy dream the other night where I was flying over Prague and went to the Charles Bridge, and the statue of St. Wenceslas spoke to me and said, you're welcome back whenever you like as soon as you are able!

And yes! I did get to see the Slav Epic, it is monumental, I had to spend over 2 hours there wandering around to take it all in. Now I'm trying to figure out how to recreate it in VR (my current hobby)

11:44am Dean:

Bix was an inspiration behind Ry Cooder's 1978 Jazz album, too.

11:45am Dean:

Heh, and "Davenport Blues" was on Cooder's record!

♥ 11:48am Brian in UK:

@Dean, I did a mix CD the other week and finished it off with Beiderbeck's Barnacle Bill. Great fun.
It's only me from over the sea,
I'm all lit up like a Christmas Tree.

♥ 11:49am Brian in UK:

@Cliff the dream somehow sounds very Czech.

11:50am Jack:

Steve, this was another great fill-in. Thanks for all the music, come back soon. I do listen to your archives, and I'll second that vote to put you (back) on the regular schedule. You do a great show.

11:50am judy from croton:

Geoff muldaur; so so great and truly an american treasure. Just saw him play with jim kweskin and it was crystal clear wondrous. No retread tired; lifelong musical learners.

11:50am SheWolf:

Perfect tunes for a lazy snow day. Thanks Steve.

11:51am frenchee:

Love that Geoff M. and that Steve K.!
great show.

11:51am Dean:

@Brian in UK: Haven't heard "Barnacle Bill" in some time. Will revisit!

♥ 11:52am βrian:

Buddy Miller seems to have an accent. What is it? French, Israeli? Just can't peg it...

♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo:

Sweet stuff from start to finish,SK. Many thanks for an engaging selection of spins. See you somewhere here soon again, I hope.

11:53am Stuart Rose:

Oh, yeah, the good, egomaniacal Captain.
Someone like Gary Lucas, though, was reverential but hardly a cult member. Maybe Van Vliet tamped down his dictatorial ways by then.

♥ 11:54am βrian:

FYI: Coming up on the hour, via the Drummer Stream:
Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie
wfmu.org...

11:55am Listener142985:

Really enjoyed the musical vibe last couple hours, Steve K. Thanks.

11:55am Jack:

re: Beefheart cult "Trout Mask Replica" 'Nuff said.

♥ 11:56am Clïff in Prägůe:

Thanks Steve! I liked your show today

♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅:

well, if it was a cult people wouldn't be leaving, and they were always leaving. i personally can't relate to staying with him as long as many of them did.

♥ 11:57am coelacanth∅:

Thanks Steve! Great to hear you again!

tchau

♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry:

Yes, a nice show today Steve! And : hammered dulcimer.

♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅:

(although i also can't relate to not punching him back)

11:59am al romano:

All the best, Steve. I'll get to the PT with you one day.
Al

♥ 11:59am duke:

Great show! Thanks
