Listener comments!

  Sun. 7/18/10 12:16am Pete:

Visiting NYC.

Wow, Johnny, wow.
  Sun. 7/18/10 12:19am Pete:

Also reading Baudrillard's _Simulacra and Simulation_.

Wow, Johnny, wow.
  Sun. 7/18/10 12:31am Joe:

Hi, Pete!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:02am Meghan:

Mr McGasko.... themed up a World's Fair set.... very impressive. I wouldn't be able to do a whole show of that! hehe. I did, however, go to the on in Knoxville Tennessee. I am glad to hear that they still have them. And for good World's Fair reading, read Devil in the White City
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:05am Joe:

Hey, Meghan! Hope your reception tonight was excellent--it ended too early! I didn't get into town until 10. I'm really mad about forgetting the Houdini 78, "Roosevelt Opens the World's Fair." The Best Record of the Set! Ugh!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:06am Meghan:

it was! I was very amazed at how many showed up, despite the heat! And I found out that Trouble lives rather close to me and showed up to the reception as well! Go figure!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:08am Joe:

That's very cool. Trouble is sort of like the Queen of Jersey City, you know!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:14am Meghan:

Well off to bed for me.... Glad to have caught you tonight! Say hi to Daniel if he's still hanging around! night night
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:16am Tim in Florida:

That Lost Girls comp is one of a bunch of mix tapes compiled by K Records founder Calvin Johnson. You can check them out here: http://www.oogaboogastore.com/shop/music/detail/Johnson-Mixtapes.html

Looks like some cool tapes, but no song listings given. It's a surprise.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:17am Joe:

G'night, Meghan! Sleep well!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:18am Joe:

Hey, Tim, thanks! I should've figured that out since there are several great tapes here that have the same label on them, and I knew that one of them was from C. Johnson.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:20am Tim in Florida:

No prob, just found out myself. Liked that song, was intrigued by the "no label/cassette" listing, and went hunting on the web to try and find it.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:21am emma b:

hey Joe! Really liked the politically incorrect worlds fair records early in the show! Is that last "Black Jaspers" track... do they do that "I want my face on the radio" song? wooot thanks mcEmcee mcgasco
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:23am Joe:

Thanks, Tim, much appreciated! Yes, Emma, the Black Jaspers do that face on the radio song--that's the one I almost played, but I'm sick of being hot. Ya velcome!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:30am Sue:

Hey, Joe!!! Single File time!!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:31am Joe:

Hey, Sue! Hawkwind time!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:32am emma b:

HAWK F***ING WIND! HELLLLLL YEAH MAN
i wasn't dancing but i am now. :)
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:34am Joe:

Eggscellent!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:39am Tim in Florida:

I'm sensing a theme here. What's next, "Sky Pilot"? Oh wait, nevermind, you'd have to flip that one over halfway through.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:41am Joe:

Damn, wish I had that one on single!
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:43am Mike Sin:

Hawkwind to Rob Calvert solo... on 45, no less. Hawkwind's version of "Ejection" ended up as a bonus track on the CD reissue on "Doremi Fasol Latido"
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:45am Joe:

Did it really? I knew I could count on you, Mike! That record blows me away...
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:48am Tim in Florida:

Funny thing, that "Sky Pilot" 45. It's split into two parts (even though it's no longer than, say, "Hey Jude"), but it's in stereo (probably one of the first stereo 45s). At least the US version is; the UK 45 version is in mono with a significantly different mix.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:51am Joe:

Wow, Tim, you knows your sky pilots! I'd love to have the UK mono mix...I love the whole Pt. 1/Pt. 2 thing. Whenever I have a record like that, I always want to bookend with it.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:54am Tim in Florida:

UK mono mix is on the 2004 CD remaster of "The Twain Shall Meet," by EB & the Animals. You might have it there.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:56am Tim in Florida:

Stereo version is track 6. Mono single mix is split between tracks 9 & 10.
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:56am Joe:

I'll have to look. Would you believe I just bought that LP three weeks ago? True story! It was only 2 bucks. Alas, I'll have to find the CD for the bonus cuts...
  Sun. 7/18/10 1:57am Tim in Florida:

LOL nice pickup for $2. Gotta love the bargain bin.
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:04am Sue:

Yay!!! Bobby!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:04am Sue:

You so rock!!! How beautiful!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:05am Joe:

Jus' fer you, Sue!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:05am Sue:

:) :) :)
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:07am Sue:

Oh my god... AND Kay??!! Yippee!!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:13am Marmalade Kitty:

comforting tunes for a lonesome cowgirl :)
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:14am Joe:

:)
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:18am emma b:

yes, daniel. i work all night.
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:20am Joe:

He believes you!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:22am Tim in Florida:

That's an odd cover. Kinda cool, but odd.
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:29am Sue:

Joe, thank you for playing my request!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:30am Joe:

My pleasure!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:38am Marmalade Kitty:

..falling asleep to wfmu can be a strange experience!? when you wake up listening to some crazy track! sometimes scarey! You never know what sonic incarnation.. ;)
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:41am Joe:

I'll try not to be too scary, M. Kitty!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:48am Marmalade Kitty:

..not necessarily your show Joe, It was a Vittorio Gelmetti track on Dan Blumin's show, an extended ear piercing monotone mononote, like a finger rubbing the rim of a glass amplified through marshall stacks!!! strange..!?
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:49am Joe:

That's our Dan!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:52am Tim in Florida:

That was a cute little "In My Life" lift in the middle of that Lemon Pipers track.
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:53am Joe:

They did it so well it's hard to begrudge them!
  Sun. 7/18/10 2:57am Marmalade Kitty:

..but on the other hand, nothing beats waking to a great tune now and again!
  Sun. 7/18/10 3:00am Tim in Florida:

g'night.

Sky Pilot next week. Please?
