Fri Jan. 25, 2008 8:09pm From: Listener Michael W.

Cool, yeah, I was gonna say, so far it's pretty good!

Fri Jan. 25, 2008 8:21pm From: Ike H

Yeah, I was also gonna say that. Before I came to this page, I was listening and I thought: Huh? Wasn't all this supposed to be awful? Thanks for the explanation, P&G. Heh.

Would anybody have even known the difference if they'd slapped this stuff together onto one album around '72 and called it the Beatles even though it wasn't? Well, y'know, if you weren't paying really close attention.

When you listen to "All Things Must Pass" in its entirity you just know that George got the "short end of the stick" with the Beatles ...

Fri Jan. 25, 2008 8:51pm From: john

I knew Kreen-Akrore was going to show up some time, if only for having a really stupid name and the sound of birds being kicked right at the beginning. As far as poor neurotic George goes, 33 1/3, though, may be the most beatley solo album of any of them, and certainly the most fun! And Crackerbox Palace pretty much sums it all up. Plus George had all those Bonzos playing with him then. Etc etc blah blah blah...rock and/or roll!

Great show you two. As a Beatles know-nothing who has no desire to expand his knowledge, I must say I'm finding this show extremely informative and entertaining!

This means any Beatle solo album has this:
John: 7 fillers
Paul: 8 fillers
George: 10 fillers
Ringo, well let's face it: All RIngo's songs are fillers.

Fri Jan. 25, 2008 11:28pm From: Warren Camishen

great show - never listened to WFMU before, but saw The Beatles promo and had to listen and I wasn't disappointed.

One big comment:

the female co-host needs to work on her "ya knows" and "ums" - after about the 30th "ya know" and 50th "um" I was about to turn off the station. A good radio DJ should speak somewhat smoothly without "ya knows" and "ums" - mostly because stammering on air is annoying.

thanks and I'll be listening again!

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 1:22am From: pseu

Thanks for the tip, Warren and welcome to WFMU -- unscripted, unpaid and often unlistenable. Keep listening, you're bound to come across all sorts of stammering, stuttering yawning gaseous on-air behavior. This ain't no finishing school for DJs -- just ROLL WITH IT!!!

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 1:48am From: Warren Camishen

Yeah, I figured you'd might respond along those lines, but I've listened to A LOT of unpaid public and independent radio people (mostly here in LA at KPFK, KXLU, ETC) over many years and I could barely deal with the "ya knows" and "ums" - it's just kind of tacky and numbskullish

Unpaid doesn't exactly mean unskilled - and a clear, concise speaking voice on radio (for good ness sakes!) is not much to ask for.

I guess three thousand WFMU listeners can't be wrong

thanks again and how about next time playing the Beatles solo stuff BACKWARDS? - there still may be some backwardly-masked secret Satanic messages in there somewhere.

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 4:41am From: foreign_listener_k

Warren -
nice to see you find that a DJ should have a clear, concise speaking voice on the radio.

But some of us actually prefer a DJ with anything but a clear concise speaking voice - after all, thousands of people already do that, 24 hours a day, a non-stop soundtrack of meaningless blather delivered in a clear, concise speaking voice.

As for anticipating someone answering that your concerns about their lack of, an um, ya know, clear, um, concise, um, speaking style, ya know - who cares?

After all, the person we're listening to is Pseu, not you.

As for 3,000 listeners - well, that plus all the people listening on the planet, including the archives. I have to admit, to my eternal shame, that KPFK and KXLU lack a clear, concise presence in my life - I'm curious, how many people in Germany listen to them? And what it would be worth my time, since likely the DJs all have a clear, concise speaking voice - what a revolting recommendation.

WFMU - where dead air lives.

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 5:08am From: J.H. Boo

Shame on you Blue Meanies for including the terrific "Wah Wah." A handful of the others aren't too bad, but "Wah Wah" is objectively great.

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 6:42am From: John

Warren--
I'm not sure it's possible to quantify just how much you don't get it (unless this was a stealth commercial for the Connecticut School of Broadcasting). You want smooth and oily, turn the dial to the right.

As far as your examples go, you may have kneecapped your own case. I spend a lot of time in LA, and I love KXLU, but if there's a station that scores higher in giggling sophomores, snippets of the track after the one just played, and the kings and queens of dead air, I've yet to hear it. It's basically a high school station with a transmitter that reaches beyond the woods at the end of soccer field where kids go to get stoned before fifth period.

If listener numbers are the gauge of success, try Party 105. Just out of curiosity, do you use the word "professional" as a descriptive or a compliment?

Sat Jan. 26, 2008 1:20pm From: Gaylord Fields

J.H. Boo -- The first set of music is the good set of solo Beatles, played as a contrast to the filler to come and to demonstrate that we're not playa hataz. I know it's not marked as such on the playlist, but we agree that "Wah Wah" is one of George's best.

Wanna hear some godawful dreck he intended for the gloved one? I don't recommend you do. But if you simply must... it is 'Girlfriend'. Londontown. Just thinking about it hurts. Thank you both for a great show.. so funny and entertaining! Kudos galore.

Hey wait a macca pickin minute! Wasn't that Arrow Thru Me???? Something's rotten in Denmark! I just realized I typed out baby's request but I don't think I heard that.. I can't even remember Baby's Request! I think I heard Arrow Through Me! Maybe listening to too much McCartney has damaged MY brain cells- by association...!? Curious, curious indeedy!

Thu Jan. 31, 2008 7:03am From: Listner Robbie

I'll give you "Morse Moose" as a stinker, but I guess my brain must be missing, because I actually like most of those songs you played. Then again, you could have included all of "Ringo The 4th" or "Bad Boy" and had a complete show. Thanks. Please do part two soon.

Thu Jan. 31, 2008 8:26am From: magic alex

The bit where the bass comes in towards the end of Smle Away surely exempts it from inclusion in the awful list! It's just so good. Love the show, loved every um and ah and y'know... more por favor

Thu Jan. 31, 2008 8:35am From: Walter Brennan

Do the much later/more recent solo Beatle works not really count? Where's the cutoff point I wonder: December 1980, or Anthology 1995 perhaps? Is it mainly in the aftermath decade where the worst offenders of questionable Solo Beatles fillers dwell? All these questions and more...

Thu Jan. 31, 2008 8:38am From: Pete Best

Grrrreat show, I never got the cold turkey/beef jerky "joke" until just now.
