Playlist for John Allen - February 6, 2008

Wednesdays 8pm - 11pm on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."

That quote of your always cracks me up. Still, "Tighten your wig" was the best. Very engaging show thus far. Vote Pol Pot in '08 for America Year Zero.

John - Thanks for making a late night at work more bearable! A uniformally excellent set so far - Starlet, the Group Gapura, Speer, and Mlangeni are brand new names to me. Looking forward to picking up the new Maceda as well. Heading home...
