No Trent: Boooooo!
But whatever Betsy's playing: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
So I guess it balances out.

Mon. 8/3/09 8:22pm From: Betsy

Mon. 8/3/09 8:24pm From: Mr Woman

Mon. 8/3/09 8:49pm From: Dave B in NYC

is it me, or is this out of phase/dead channel on the stream. Music strong/vocals weak

Mon. 8/3/09 8:51pm From: Betsy

Hi Dave, are you barely hearing the vocals? It sounds ok in here, but it's not the best recording...I'll check my levels, thanks.

Mon. 8/3/09 8:54pm From: Dave B in NYC

last two songs sounded wonky. as if whatever channel the vocals were on was dead.

Mon. 8/3/09 8:56pm From: Betsy

Huh. Thanks for letting me know. This tune sounds ok in here now, lemme know if you keep having trouble hearing the vox. -B

Mon. 8/3/09 8:57pm From: denizen

thanks. that werewolf track was amazing. should be played along with deleuze becoming animal

Mon. 8/3/09 9:03pm From: Betsy

Hey Denizen, yes I LOVE Coyle & Sharpe! Everything on there is hilarious.

Mon. 8/3/09 9:12pm From: seang

Diggin this Betsy, a memphis vibe goin on

Mon. 8/3/09 9:14pm From: Betsy

Hey seang, glad you're enjoying it!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:24pm From: Jason B

Got you streaming in PDX right now. Sent you a note about DLing rar stuff.

Mon. 8/3/09 9:25pm From: Betsy

Hey Jason! I saw it -I'm psyched to check out the mix! Thanks.

Mon. 8/3/09 9:30pm From: Dan

Checkin' in for a sec from work before they drag me away again - and HOT DAMN this looks like a good show so far! Keep it rockin', girl!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:31pm From: Betsy

Wow, thanks Dan-O! Good luck at work.

Mon. 8/3/09 9:41pm From: Rampler

Hi Betsy!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:42pm From: Betsy

Hi Rampler!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:52pm From: Tom L (Hallock Hill)

YO Betsy. Just went on FB by accident really and read your status, so here I am for a few. How are you? So far amazing stuff for me!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:53pm From: Betsy

Hey there! I still want that Baby Grandmothers tune!! ;)

Doin' great Tom, glad you're here. -B

Mon. 8/3/09 9:55pm From: Tom L (Hallock Hill)

Just e-mailed it to you!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:58pm From: Betsy

Hey thanks Tom, got it!

Mon. 8/3/09 9:59pm From: Tom L (Hallock Hill)

This Sandy Denny is incredible. Who is the electric guitar player?

Mon. 8/3/09 10:01pm From: Betsy

Hmm, I just assumed it's Blind Richie Boy Thompson, but I don't know!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:05pm From: Dan

Oh my god - one of my top tracks from my all-time favorite Pretties record! You just made my evening. ;)

Mon. 8/3/09 10:08pm From: Tom L (Hallock Hill)

Best Bill Fay track ever. Just ahead of "Methane River." Awesome. You are of course right about Sir Richard the Blind Thompson.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:08pm From: Betsy

Oh, yaaay!! Yeah, I love that song.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:09pm From: Betsy

Tom, I only know this one and Cannon's Plain - wanna hear more

Mon. 8/3/09 10:10pm From: Tom L (Hallock Hill)

The orchestration is surreal and amazing. Mind blowing. If you want to hear more you came to the right place. I have it all... You know Wilco frequently covers "Be Not So Fearful," right? Jim O'Rourke introduced Fay to Tweedy and he loves him.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:10pm From: Dan

Just FYi, that Bill Fay tune was "Screams in the Ears," not "Some Good Advice". (That was on the flip side.) Oh man - Donovan now? NIIIIIIICE!!!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:11pm From: Betsy

Ha! Thanks Dan - you are bailing me out ONCE AGAIN! Discographical details. Ugh.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:12pm From: Betsy

Guess the song title's kind of a big detail. ;)

Mon. 8/3/09 10:12pm From: Tom L

Excellent point, Dan. Didn't notice that. Don't worry Betsy, it does not affect the awesomeness of the song.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:15pm From: Dan

Agreed. Total awesomeness indeed.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:15pm From: Tom L

Betsy--I remember the first show of yours I heard you played "The Mystery" by the Shiva Lillas off of the "Sound of Ascencion" disk--I sought that disk out (not easy to do!) and it is wild stuff. Hidden track 16 needs to be referred to the next time you are in San Francisco...

Mon. 8/3/09 10:17pm From: Betsy

Oh yeah, I listened to the silence for a long time on that last track, 'cause I knew there was something in there. My friend does yoga to that Shiva LIllies song!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:23pm From: meadows

great show, betsy prime time.
love that 'take me to the water' book. dust to digital never disappoints.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:26pm From: Betsy

Oh, Meadows! Thanks and see you SOON!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:34pm From: meds

p.s. almost called you from prospect park sat. night. shoulda.
yeah, see you soon. in a dress i presume.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:36pm From: Betsy

I was on Cape Cod Saturday! Yep, dress. See you soon. ;)

Mon. 8/3/09 10:42pm From: Mike Sin

It was cool to hear that version of "Somebody's Watching You" by Little Sister. Thanks. That track actually charted "back in the day." In addition, I'd guess that was the first use of a primitive drum/rhythm machine on a commercial record....

Mon. 8/3/09 10:43pm From: Betsy

Oh yeah, SLy & the Family Stone have a version too, don't they? Anyway, glad you liked it! I love the way it sounds - myabeyou're right about the drum machine

Mon. 8/3/09 10:43pm From: Tom L

Harry N. is so ridiculously good.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:44pm From: Betsy

Agreed. This song espesh kills me

Mon. 8/3/09 10:46pm From: Jason B

Chaka Kahn also does a version on as live record. The flip is another fav. Stanga. Do you have the XI9 or Joe Hicks stuff on Stone Flower? THanks for all the great stuff, gotta put the kids to bed.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:47pm From: Betsy

I don't know X19 or Joe Hicks or anything of which you speak! G'night Jason!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:48pm From: saintpeg

Thanks for saving my Monday night! Have loved every minute.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:49pm From: Toronto Jim

Mike Sin: Was just ruminating on your topic, and "Popcorn" came to my mind. There aren't any "drum"-sounds on it, but the whole very staccato thing is undeniably "rhythmic". I shrug... Who knows... But anyway, that tune was first recorded in 1969.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:49pm From: Betsy

Oh, hey saintpeg! Thanks so much.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:51pm From: ?

Little Sister had two singles on Sly's Stoneflower label as did aforementioned XI9 and Joe Hicks. All featured early drum machine spookiness. G'night

Mon. 8/3/09 10:51pm From: Betsy

YOu mean Popcorn by Hot Butter? I learned a dance to that song in my church youth group.

Mon. 8/3/09 10:56pm From: Tom L

Awesome Betsy, have a great night. I'm running downstairs to get my Bobby Gentry album--haven't listened to it in years. When your show is over, I'll dive in. Thanks for the memory!

Mon. 8/3/09 10:58pm From: Betsy

Cool, have a great night with Bobbie!

Fri. 8/7/09 8:50pm From: Grassy Point Jim

Thanks for a great show, heard it on the 90.1, happy to get to hear my favorite tunes again on the pop up..keep up the good work
