Fri. 8/14/09 12:14pm From: Hugo

Off to a terrific start!

Fri. 8/14/09 12:16pm From: perrin

my limited linear mind would like the year of performance, if known. thanks...

Fri. 8/14/09 12:18pm From: Hugo

perrin, mid-sixties, I'd say, if you want exact details, I may have to go get the album ...

Fri. 8/14/09 12:19pm From: bryce

whoopsie! :)
coming right up....

hey, hugo, ngh!

Fri. 8/14/09 12:26pm From: north guinea hills

funny how far ahead of it's time this electronic sonata is, considering how "jazz" used to be so dogmatic....

Fri. 8/14/09 12:27pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

something about the "60s" had that effect on all music! must have been the water.

Fri. 8/14/09 12:30pm From: Hugo

Yep, 1965, in Stuttgart, but no exact date is given in the sleeve notes. The record was out on MPS in 1973.

Fri. 8/14/09 12:30pm From: Jed

W.C. Fields just died. I read it in Variety at the candy store's lunch counter in 1910. He died of exposure on the western trail.

Fri. 8/14/09 12:31pm From: Jed

btw, this station may be thought of as free form, but this is the only true "free form" show.

Fri. 8/14/09 12:34pm From: Hugo

NGH, indeed! I'm listening to Stockhausen's "Aus den sieben Tagen" these days, also made in 1968. Very out there!

Fri. 8/14/09 12:38pm From: bryce

1965, duh.... thanks, hugo!!

HELLO. JED.
WHAT IS FOR DINNER?

Fri. 8/14/09 12:39pm From: Parq

In the midst of life, we are in death. Jed, we would seem to have different definitions of free-form. That's what makes horse-races, eh?

Fri. 8/14/09 12:46pm From: bryce

everybody! free fudge! yaaaaay

Fri. 8/14/09 12:58pm From: Juddman

this george russell is far freakin' and also way wiggin'... thank you bryce!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:00pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

God. I just realized how much I have been enjoying this last hour of music. Outstanding show!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:02pm From: bryce

thanks ddggd! i must defer to the dead guy...we just pushy the buttons.

..........JUDDEDIAH??

Fri. 8/14/09 1:05pm From: Juddman

'tis I!!!

Brycing out at work with Erin!!!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:05pm From: Hugo

Bryce, you're playing the whole thing! Excellent! Some early Rypdal and Garbarek in there.

Just had thai coconut soup for dinner - my fave! Yummy ...

Fri. 8/14/09 1:11pm From: Marshall Stacks

Tom yum, yum.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:14pm From: Ike

Hugo, in the U.S., most Thai restaurants are a little watered-down and slightly Americanized (e.g. extra sugar, throwing the spices out of balance), so in Britain, are they watered-down and Britishized?

Fri. 8/14/09 1:15pm From: bryce

judd, if only i'd known...i would have played something From the Heart. perhaps a nice microwave septet. don't forget to feed erin a plasma buritto or she'll leak gamma rays on the pantone books.

hugo, it's taking all the focus i have not to play 900 punk 7"s instead of 50 minute avant jazz blowouts. i'll swim through it somehow....

Fri. 8/14/09 1:18pm From: Erm

This music makes me feel The Hope more than ever! Bye bye autism! Hello JAZZ

Fri. 8/14/09 1:21pm From: Hugo

Ike, I haven't tried the tom kha gai in the UK, but generally speaking, yes, true - with some notable exceptions.

In Thailand itself, it can be fierce; beware of food from the north and the north-east - the papaya salad - ...papaya pok pok - phew ...

Fri. 8/14/09 1:22pm From: Jed

tonight's dinner: Manx

Fri. 8/14/09 1:24pm From: Hugo

Bryce, if you get fed up with 2-minute punk singles, there's always the cd version of Blue Notes for Mongezi - that was some programme!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:24pm From: Marshall Stacks

When I want non-watered-down Thai food, I cook it myself. I'm lucky to have access to the right ingredients and tools. DIY!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:26pm From: Marshall Stacks

Ya know, really spicy Thai food would go great with what Bryce is playing right now....

Fri. 8/14/09 1:26pm From: BSI

Just got back with a gut full o' Malaysian lunch and ears that must be filled with sonic stew!

man, this whole "death" thing....

Fri. 8/14/09 1:27pm From: Connie

Anyone ever been to Jitlata in Chicago? It's cheap and non-watered down. Best I had in the states!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:28pm From: Larry

Hello Bryce.

I've been listening to your show.

Great music.

Do you have Andy Breckman's phone number? I think the two of you should talk things over a bit.

Well, that's my two cents Bryce.

Keep doing a good show.

Your friend,

Larry

Fri. 8/14/09 1:29pm From: Cecile

we have a good place near us that makes Thai street food and serves it in a more authentic style. You put in sugar, hot peppers or vinegar from a caddy on the tabke if you want to adjust the seasoning.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:30pm From: bryce

hi, larry. does andy brechmann have millet?

i love millet.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:30pm From: Hugo

Try this:

Lethal ...

Fri. 8/14/09 1:31pm From: Marshall Stacks

They say millet keeps you regular. Not sure if it keeps you punctual.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:32pm From: bryce

doh!!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:33pm From: Ike

Hugo, "fierce?" The food I ate in the N and NE of Thailand was less spicy and less intense than down in Bangkok, but I prob. wasn't trying the right dishes, like som tum. (Next time!) Ate some great stuff in Nong Khai. Beautiful little town.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:35pm From: Marshall Stacks

Thanks, Hugo. I'll try that this weekend. The only ingredient I'll need to buy is the papaya.

Looks like a site I should dig into.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:36pm From: Taco Bell dog

'yo quiero?'

Fri. 8/14/09 1:37pm From: BSI

eh, crap salad.
just realized I missed the George Russel/Don Cherry piece.
sadness abounds. I'll never eat lunch again.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:39pm From: Ike

Unfortunately papaya is never half as good here as in Thailand, in my experience. Our papayas just suck. Also, the recipe doesn't mention how raw or green it should be. That's hard to gauge.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:41pm From: bryce

what if lunch was a mock ox marrow burrito wrapped in gold leaf tortilla?

Fri. 8/14/09 1:41pm From: Hugo

Yes, Nong Khai is very nice, overlooking the Mekhong, these days probably with a bridge and road connection to Laos. None when I was there. You tried the sticky rice - and the durian candy?

Fri. 8/14/09 1:45pm From: Marshall Stacks

Thai papaya salad requires raw green unripe papaya, in my experience.
We get some OK Mexican papayas here, but not like the ones in Thailand.

I once put out a bag of durian candy in a corporate meeting I attended. People love free candy.

The results were very amusing.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:45pm From: Jed

what if breakfast were an orgy of blood and semen topped off with fresh fruit

Fri. 8/14/09 1:45pm From: Marshall Stacks

Jed, served how, and by whom?

What do you leave for a tip?

Fri. 8/14/09 1:46pm From: Hugo

bryce - life is full of counterfactuals ...

Fri. 8/14/09 1:49pm From: bryce

you're all coming over for thanksgiving.

Fri. 8/14/09 1:49pm From: Ike

Hugo, the sticky rice was great but I missed the durian candy, although I enjoyed durian itself (wonderful texture). Yes there is a bridge now. Easy to get across. Laos is fantastic, except Vientiane. Food is great there too, if you seek out what the locals eat. Similar to N. Thai food. Lots of bahn mi-style sandwiches too. Pics:

hey, I know it's not topical but since last week I found this youtube video of a Hugo Zemp video of some are'are music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVOUz6hWBHQ

Fri. 8/14/09 1:53pm From: Jed's coffee table

This month in Grind Housekeeping: Naked Inglorious Brunches -- Quentin Tarantino and William Burroughs love to entertain guests and set a signature table before noon when at their summer place together!

Fri. 8/14/09 1:53pm From: Jed

I'm off to the meth lab

Fri. 8/14/09 1:54pm From: bryce

HOLY SHIT, JK!!!!

hugo zemp is just brilliant

Fri. 8/14/09 1:56pm From: Rampler

Wow... that is an amazing video jk

Fri. 8/14/09 2:11pm From: Ike

Speaking of SE Asian food: Yummy Burmese food tomorrow afternoon in Briarwood, Queens!
emallbay.com/funfair2009
Use E or F train. (Note: E rerouted in Manhattan, doesn't run from WTC.) I'm going around 12 noon, before it gets really hot, I hope.

Fri. 8/14/09 2:12pm From: jk

cool, there's another of Hugo's videos on there about yodeling, it's a good watch if you have the time just search hugo zemp. Bryce did you get the email that I emailed you? not sure if I sent it to the right address.

Fri. 8/14/09 2:20pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Mr Russell sure managed to cover a lot of ground over the years.

Fri. 8/14/09 2:22pm From: Hugo

I've never tried Burmese food, though I believe I once went looking in Bangkok for a Burmese restaurant. Still, no visits to Holland is complete without trying the rijsttafel - an Indonesian specialty.

Fri. 8/14/09 2:28pm From: bryce

jk, gak! no?? er....... i hope not??

i'm not always so fastidious with my fmu email account. actually, not so good with earthly matters in general....

aw crap, so sorry. i'll find it!

Fri. 8/14/09 2:42pm From: Hugo

Sheila Jordan on vocals ... on sunshine

Fri. 8/14/09 2:45pm From: jk

no problem at all, just checking to see. I sent it through the form contact thing which I'm never sure whether it'll connect or not.

Fri. 8/14/09 2:52pm From: Cecile

Fri. 8/14/09 2:53pm From: perrin

Fri. 8/14/09 2:53pm From: BSI
