hyperreality with the snap crackle pop!
  12:10pm
anniemouse:

oops, i've been transformed in to a rodent.!must have been that spell..
  12:13pm
Cecile:

I'll bet you have a strong urge to hear the theme from "Rat Patrol"...:D
  12:13pm
Mike Fun:

Intentionally playing the scratchiest you could find?
  12:13pm
still b/p:

Decades after seeing heavy magnification of what scratches and debris do to a record needle...I still get anxiety at the sounds, even as I love 'em so.
  12:14pm
Swami:

Flashin back to 4th grade.
  12:14pm
rosh:

you're tapping into some serious past life roller coaster of love gone lost territory,awesome.
  12:20pm
bob:

mfsb is skipping
  12:21pm
Gigantor:

Sweet show, Kurt! Keep it up! I am regressing in time...
  12:24pm
Cecile:

As I mentioned to Fabio once, so many 70s hits are bittersweet, even hearing them long after my youthful angst has faded.
  12:26pm
annie:

agreed, cecile.. agreed..
  12:26pm
Cecile:

it was one long hangover of a decade in a lot of ways.
  12:27pm
37:

nice playlist!
all thrown out by one 45 collector?
  12:28pm
Carmichael:

Kurt forgot his records and is settling for the entire Have a Nice Day collection.
  12:30pm
37:

go away little girl by donny osmond was my 1st musical purchase
ok.... there, i've admitted it!
it is backed (on my 45) by "time to ride".... which also got lots of pre teen airplay
  12:32pm
don:

did you break into my dad's basement, kurt?!
  12:33pm
Carmichael:

Just noticed this is the famous "Found in Basement" series
  12:33pm
Cecile:

37, mine was Old Fashioned Love Song by 3 Dog night, I think backed by One. Great two-fer of Newman and Nilsson!
  12:33pm
still b/p:

Oh, now, Me and Mrs. Jones with the used vinyl quality is twice as evocative as some other scratched and poppin' singles might be.
  12:34pm
Mr. Jones:

Say WHAT?
  12:35pm
37:

Old Fashioned Love Song.... vey nice... maye kurt'll play that one too
the pops and scratches are great

whats tthis now...??... sounds good
havta run but will be back...
  12:36pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Is 'Scratched Vinyl' the name of a band?
  12:37pm
annie:

the dog just got off the couch looking for coyotes..
  12:37pm
zoot:

This sounds to me like it may be an abridged version of the Robert Redford narrated wolf lp. One side was him, the flip side was a series of howls. I've actually converted it to cd along with field recordings of gibbons. My son used to occasionally play them on his collitch radio show.
  12:38pm
amy:

It is just that Robert Redford lp. I listened it just last winter!
  12:38pm
Listener David in Budd Lk:

I have this "wolf record". It is narrated by Robert Redford. Side A is narrated, side B is just howling
  12:39pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Ima want me a mash-up of wolf howls and whale songs.
  12:41pm
Mike Fun:

My first 7" was "Love is like oxygen" by Sweet.
  12:42pm
zoot:

first 7 inch I bought was Bert Kaemfert "African Beat" as heard on the Sandy Becker show.
  12:42pm
Carmichael:

Mine was Born on the Bayou. Picture sleeve!
  12:43pm
philz:

If I remember right, my first 7" single was "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies. Kinda silly, kinda sad, but it still gets stuck in my head some days...
  12:44pm
Carmichael:

I cut that off of the back of a Sugar Smacks box.
  12:45pm
37:

yes!!! i love this.... VERY COOL... THANKS!!
i have to go to two meetings now (probably till the show is over) but thanks
  12:46pm
annie:

45s were in our house when i was born... lots of spoken word stuff, children's songs..we did also have 16s. my dad made language recordings..we were very audio-based ... so, first 45.. well... hard to tell..our favorite was "I want a hippopotamus for christrmas." and the "carrot song"
  12:46pm
37:

i have sugar sugar on 45 too..... silly/stupid/great
see ya
  12:47pm
Matthew:

First purchased = 'Hanky Panky' by Tommy James & The Shondells.
Most recent: Black Lips & Subsonics Live At The Clermont Hotel - split 7"
  12:47pm
Gigantor:

Hey, mine was Sugar Sugar cut from the back of a cereal box too!
  12:48pm
annie:

sandy becker!!!!! yay!
  12:48pm
misterfriendly:

first 7" I purchased was either 'sweet home alabama' or 'frankenstein' by edgar winter group. though I did receive a 7" of 'monster mash' as a present from my older brother earlier than that. Said brother also had singles of 'Popcorn' (first techno hit!) and 'Magic Carpet Ride' by Steppenwolf which we would listen to on parents' giant tube-powered console record player. It had a little door at the bottom which revealed the speaker grille - we would lie on our backs and stick our heads inside the speaker compartment, then try to close the doors so it would sound boomier.
  12:48pm
zoot:

Annie,
Was that "Carrots grow from carrot seeds. I planted one to grow it. I watered it, I pulled the weeds. Carrots grow from carrot seeds"? I had that, too, but I didn't buy it. My folks did.
  12:50pm
misterfriendly:

and wasn't' there a Jackson 5 single that was laminated to the back of a cereal box? Probably Apple Jacks - the J5 used to pitch that stuff on Tv didn't' they?
  12:50pm
Cecile:

The last single I bought was a Henry Flynt one from Locust a couple years back.
  12:51pm
annie:

nyah nyah, it won't come up ......we loved that.. yes, that's the song. i planted it i pulled the weeds, carrots grow from carrot seeds.. i still sing it.
  12:51pm
wha?:

Barnes and Barnes Fish Heads on a platter shaped like a fish head. Who could resist?
  12:52pm
PMD:

I like this Remmler
  12:53pm
Happy Listener:

Like many other listeners, my house had 45s when I arrived on the scene in the early 70s. When the tavern on the corner of our block closed, they just threw their Seeburg jukebox in the alley, and my father scavenged it for the speakers and singles. Then my cousins grew out of the music they'd been listening to (they were 6 and 7 years older than I), and donated me their singles collection. I had a ridiculous amount of vinyl as a kid, but I can't remember the first 45 I purchased with my own (allowance) money.
  12:54pm
LizGig:

This Remmler is a classic that deserves far more airplay. The yodelling was such a thoughtful touch.
  12:56pm
gumby:

1st 45 Grand Funk Railroad "We're an American Band:" on yellow vinyl.
  12:58pm
philz:

Carmichael, I cut the 7" out also from Sugar Smakes... I remember playing it on a close-and-play with the little girl next door :)
  1:07pm
LizGig:

I was in the US the first time I got singles. My mother took me to Two Guys. Does that shop exist any more? There was a 'buy 7' deal. I'm sure there was a 10cc single. And something on Atlantic. I can remember the label, but I can't remember the single.

Around the same time I also got a free copy of 'Diddy Boppin and Motor Mouthin' at the launch of a lighting shop. The DJ was giving them out. And, courtesy of WFMU, I have heard that track within the past few months. By Clara somebody.
  1:08pm
Cecile:

I love it, too, Kurt. Great song.
  1:09pm
dc pat:

CRAP!!! Missed my fave Ex song!
  1:11pm
annie:

this one holds record hop trauma for me.... still have pangs 40 years later.
  1:14pm
annie:

jesus kurt, you're turning us into blubbering, sentimental adolescents again!
  1:15pm
DJ KG:

i'm loving the stories! keep 'em coming. first 7" you bought? last one you bought? most traumatic 7" memory?

thanks for tuning in, everyone!
  1:16pm
rosh:

@ annie. be it love lost,death,or just leaving home for "greener pastures", that song kills just everyone w/a pulse. luckily,Johnnie Taylor is here for us to shake it off to!
  1:16pm
Rebel:

arggghhhh... the static, the popping. I can see the record wobble. Now I remember why we used all the old discs as skeet.
  1:17pm
mark:

Pretty sure I had Disco Lady on one of those K-Tel or similar single comps back in the 70's. Get down!
  1:19pm
DJ KG:

DC Pat (and everyone): I just posted a link in the comments field for The Ex "This Song is in English"
  1:19pm
annie:

right on rosh, so true..!! this is actually very cathartic.. we fmu hipsters have a heart after all.!!
  1:22pm
Mike Fun:

There's going to be 7" of gunk on the needles by the end of the show!
  1:22pm
don:

shit ya, skip that brand new
  1:23pm
dc pat:

Thanks KG, I have that on 7" but could use digital versoin.
  1:23pm
annie:

"this is a stalling tape" on 45!
  1:24pm
PMD:

annie, that's funny. it's actually nice to hear.
  1:24pm
Cecile:

I LOVE THIS SONG so much.
  1:28pm
Cecile:

okay!
  1:29pm
Tom:

First 7" had to be Men at Work circa '83 or '84. Either Down Under or Overkill (had them both). 10 years old.

Most recent: UV Race "I Hate You"
  1:29pm
rosh:

vinyl popping & skips are what got me first listening to WFMU when I was a weird 15 yr. old. that and i was looking for dirty country and uncensored hc/punk songs. luckily,fmu is haven to it all
  1:31pm
Cecile:

Tom: I think Overkill is a great song. I should get that 45.
  1:32pm
Tom:

It just reminds me now of being a despondent 5th grader.
  1:45pm
rosh:

sadly,i'm leaving work & must stop listening. Great show,kurt & rad stories everyone!
  1:50pm
slugluv1313:

hi Kurt! GREAT show! running w/the topic -- *my* first 45 purchase was "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle -- although as others have mentioned, i also recall being given 45s (i think friends who did not want the records anymore?) -- "Babysitting Boogie," the Beach Boys' version of "Barbara Ann" . . . maybe a few others but those are the ones i remember (oh, the *joys* of SENILITY ha ha!)
  1:52pm
still b/p:

Can't recollect 1st purchased 45, but many 45 memories: Snoopy and the Red Baron songs, Beach Boys Good Vibrations, Monkees Steppin' Stone; bought Blood, Sweat & Tears And When I Die and Oliver(!) Good Morning Starshine for bro's b'day -- but him no like. Helped with a trade of sister's Mama Cass Dream A Little Dream for cousin's Turtles Happy Together...
  1:53pm
Cecile:

Pac-Baby has no legs!
  1:55pm
Looms:

1st purchased: Culture Club, do you really want to hurt me
last purchased: Tore Honoré Boe, KNEKK
That's what we call evolution.
  1:58pm
mark:

If You Leave Me Now ... another song I hate from the 70's along with the Seals & Croft song you played earlier (heard you say you felt same way). You can add A Horse With No Name to that list while I'm thinking about it.
  2:00pm
Tom:

I only read recently that Peter Cetera's jaw, and thus his jaw-y singing style, is a result of him getting into a fight at a Dodgers game when he was young. Hard to think of loverboy as a fighter too.
  2:03pm
Cecile:

And Eyedea! So there's your three casualties in a row.
  2:04pm
EpeeduBois:

1st 7" - Star Wars disco!
last- Led er Est
  2:05pm
Matthew:

Most traumatic 7" memory: Not for me, but for my friend's mom. We traded '45's. He got 'Dirty Water' by The Standells, I got 'Mellow Yellow' by Donovan. She made us re-trade because she thought The Standells record was obscene.
  2:06pm
Hugo:

I can't recall what was the first purchase - have to look through the piles first, but in terms of "inherited" 45s, what comes to mind is the Billy Vaughn version of "La Paloma" and Cliff Richard "Move it!" on yellow vinyl. And some fine Fats Domino tunes.

But one of the most interesting ones was "Amazing Grace" by Great Awakening. It was the signature theme for Radio Geronimo back in 1970 and was also an unofficial theme song for the Isle of Wight festival that year. I found it in a record shop in Camden, London, six years later. Thought about it, went in, asked the shop assistant who vanished into the interior of the shop and returned with the object a couple of minutes later. Great shop, but long gone.

The tune:

Tom:

I have a box of 45s I inherited / took from my mom. LAst time she was over I played them all night because there;s some great stuff in there (Belfast Gypsies Secret Police - whaddup mom!), and I thought she'd get a kick outta hearing them all these years later, but mom swore she'd never owned most of them. She even called one of the records 'drug music.'

  2:34pm
Carmichael:

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was my 1st concert.
  2:34pm
Ike:

Ah! That Manu Dibango was great. Finally, something I love (besides SH&W and the Ex). (Are you an audio masochist, KG? If not then why play things you admit you don't like?)

I'd like to think I'm too young to have gotten into seven-inch records but I probably just didn't like vinyl. I was more of a cassingles kind of kid.
  2:35pm
Mark from Pompton Plains:

I never knew Neil Diamond's music could be that fun! Guess I've only really started living.
  2:37pm
37:

ok... i'm back..... still in "the groove" i see.... debbie would love this show!
