PEACE All!

Sorry, all, no Sabu today. Had to postpone.
Avatar 3:02pm Wild Neil:

"...the rapelike aggressiveness of Coca-Cola"....lol!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:02pm rrg:

Play some Sabu anyway.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:03pm rrg:

I meant to say please.
Avatar 3:03pm TehBadDr:

Does that mean we get some Joe Frank?

greetings, fans of prolific artists
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:04pm Alison Porchnik:

Writing in from my new office. In this new non-cavelike space, it's like I'm listening to a totally 'nother radio show.
Avatar 3:04pm Irwin:

Will explain the alternatives first mic break.

Hi, Irwin, Chusidians, and the like-minded.

Loved Memoirs of an Amnesiac. Funny guy even hopped up on, what was it, chloral hydrate? Thanks for that memory, IC.

That's where the quote originates. Currently reading.

Hoffman's Antique Barn...you must be confusing this with Sun Ra's house in Philly...

Hi all!

Brand Flakes is more like it!
  3:15pm Laura L:

Sorry to hear Sabu has to postpone--well, it just means we can continue to looking forward to his visit. Sincerely, Pollyanna
Avatar 3:16pm Itzall Ablurr:

What? NO Sabú?!? Hope he's doing alright and will re-schedule.
Avatar 3:17pm Listening Out There:

Time to make a cassette for Sabu, eh?
Avatar 3:18pm TehBadDr:

Was looking forward to Sabu, old timey guys like that with local flavor are a hoot!

go irwin :-D
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:19pm Alison Porchnik:

Irwin has an iron will. When it comes to alkyhol, he's like Stalin.
  3:21pm Laura L:

When I purchased the new Bran Flakes, I was temporarily stumped after payment when I went to download it and saw "Help Me." I thought, no, I don't want help, I want to download! Oh.... right! LOL.
  3:25pm Laura L:

AP--did you change jobs or trade in the cave for a better space?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:31pm Alison Porchnik:

Both - same building, same floor. Different office, boss, work. Less vernal and interesting view but more natural light.
  3:36pm Laura L:

AP--congratulations!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:37pm Dominick:

always good to hear Monk
Avatar 3:40pm Irwin:

Alison also renounced Judaism and became a Rosicrucian.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:43pm Parq:

I had a rosicrucian for dinner last night. Four pounder from Maine. Mmm!
  3:43pm cat:

i renounced liberation
  3:46pm cat:

all 4 paws on the floor
  3:48pm berbo:

The Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose is pretty cool.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:51pm thatpatsmith:

Could be on the Zombies' Odyssey & Oracle
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:52pm The Oscar:

@thatpatsmith I was just about to say, if you'd put a gun to my head and asked me who did this song, I'd have probably said the Zombies. Knew the song from Nuggets, but never knew who it was-- great stuff.
  3:53pm Laura L:

Thanks for finding a less-known and pea-pickin'-culiar tune with Glen Campbell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:55pm upsetter5001:

If you like that Sagittarius cut The first Millennium LP is also pretty great too. No Glen Campbell (RIP) on it.
Avatar 3:57pm TehBadDr:

All Jazzy up in here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:57pm The Oscar:

I think my favorite oddities to come out of the Campbell/Usher/Boettcher axis are the "Mr. Gasser" albums they made for (with?) Big Daddy Roth.
  3:58pm stinky cheese finga:

ok guis this is fuggin gnarlyy. the drums are hurting me internally (some kind of hemorrhaging)
Avatar ♥ 4:04pm Marshall Stacks:

I stayed up late so many times listening to Shep on WOR.
  4:06pm flashbazbo:

Shep was the "Angel headed hipster" in kerouacs on the road
Avatar 4:06pm Itzall Ablurr:

"BUMPUSSES!!!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145:

thank you, thank you for the Shep. really brings back memories.

6L6 tubes, Raytheon! I'm old enough to remember this tech talk! Are there other listeners who know this arcana?

Hohman, Indiana.
Which you won't find on any map.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm chris:

hi there. 'toobz' is my word of the day, i think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:14pm Michael 98145:

tubes?! of course; remember going to the hardware or drugstore and testing them on the device?
Avatar 4:15pm Itzall Ablurr:

Dear jan, yes. My father-in-law operated a TV repair shop in NJ for decades and the place was full of tubes of all makes. I still have a box of them just because I think they're cool looking.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:18pm Michael 98145:

{ heh, "the behind side of new york city" }
Avatar ♥ 4:19pm Jeff:

@jan et al: Why yes, I'm listening to Irwin and Shep right now through a gizmo which uses 6BZ7 triodes in its voltage-amplification stage.

Interestingly, these are being used for audio-frequency amplification even though they were apparently originally designed for RF.
  4:20pm middlebun:

10:15-11:00, after the news, on WOR 710
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:21pm Michael 98145:

rebroadcast shortly thereafter on KRAB-fm
Avatar 4:21pm TehBadDr:

This Shepard stuff is great! Thanx Irwin!
Avatar ♥ 4:22pm Jeff:

Instead of saying toobz, though, I'm charmed by the name preferred by our chums across the Atlantic:

"thermionic valves."

It actually describes what they do really well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:23pm Fuzzy:

6L6, 12AX7,EL34,5Y3...love the smell of old tube machines (radio, guitar amp, etc.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:24pm Fuzzy:

I miss my old boatanchor shortwave rigs (Hammarlund, National)
Avatar 4:26pm Henry:

scott farkas!
  4:28pm jan:

@jeff- Listening through Sonos... radio reception of WFMU was always so noisy in Manhattan. What a boon internet broadcast is for hearing WFMU- here in it's natural FM
range and well outside and at any time, too! @itzall Ablurr- wish that we could take a field trip to the TV repair store. Those were wonderful places- long gone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:30pm Parq:

The hamster one is one of the best Shep stories I've ever heard, and that's going some.
Avatar 4:31pm Irwin:

One more Shep -- and it's about RADIO (not tubes). Great one, with cheap sound effects.
Avatar 4:32pm Irwin:

Shep never had much of a prop budget.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:33pm Michael 98145:

all the magic of radio
Avatar 4:35pm Itzall Ablurr:

Jan, I concur. I always loved going to his shop with all of the arcane tools and technology.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:35pm Parq:

Anybody else have or heard this album? I borrowed it from a friend. One great army-era story, and a lot of small bits, some good and some not so much.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:52pm Michael 98145:

- everything in this world is phony -
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:55pm steveo:

One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That's all. They were coming in the goddam window.

According to the time zones I'm one hour behind those in the east. So in a way I'm commenting from the past like now and now and now!
  5:25pm Dean:

One of my one-night-stand insta-bands c.1979 was Goddamn Tractor. We played a party, made it through an improvised tune drawing lyrics (in French) from Sartre's autobiography, Les Mots, then proceeded to our cover of "Motorcade," midway through which the cops arrived.
Avatar 5:28pm TehBadDr:

Rory, are you time tripping again? I can always tell when you've been time tripping!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:30pm Rory:

I'd just like to add that I'm 100% sober and I'm always *time tripping*...
Avatar 5:34pm Irwin:

Happy Birthday, the great Sab!
  5:35pm Laura L:

I remember it like yesterday and I wasn't even in Jersey City in 1962! Happy Birthday Sabu!!
Avatar 5:35pm Itzall Ablurr:

Today? I am running under "da pumps" in honor of Mr. Ferretti's birthday. Get well soon, Sabú.
