Bruce:
Can the DJ's see how many people are live streaming? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:30am
Scott:
Possible -but it's not like there's a counter next to turntable 1. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:32am
Cecile:
that sounds like a doron thing. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:41am
tim from champaign:
Ha! The old fogies pissing off the youngsters with their music. The way it should be. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:43am
Scott:
To him already I'm just hopelessly out of touch. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:43am
Cheri Pi:
I'm loving Sabu, must hunt this down. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:47am
Cecile:
Scott, there is a Joe McPhee tune with "Violets" in the title that if you could play, I'd be most happy. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:51am
Scott:
Hmmm, at a loss as to what that might be. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:52am
Hugo:
Cheri: Probably the esiest way to get it is from here: http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2010/10/sabu-toyozumi-message-to-chicago-nadja.html | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:55am
Scott:
Yeah, Hugo, that's where I got it! The wonderful Inconstant Sol. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:57am
Cecile:
I think it's one of those things he did with Andre Jaune. Written for a dear friend. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:58am
Cecile:
Violets for Pia that's the piece. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 9:59am

Wendy:
Too Far Gone? On the Beach? A bonus track or something? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 10:44am
Cecile:
I mean!!!!! I have to find this. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 10:46am
glenn:
on the beach is 1974 (i think). my second favourite neil young album. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 10:48am
Scott:
Yeah you're correct '74. What's your first fave? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 10:57am
glenn:
usually it's rust never sleeps. once in a while it's zuma. and then there's american stars and bars. apparently he has about forty!!! albums worth of unreleased material recorded. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:05am
Mike East:
I just got the "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" LP... gotta love that Crazy Horse | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:06am
Wendy:
The first side of Hawks and Doves is pretty nice, too. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:12am
Hugo:
Just had a listen to "Violets." It really is a lovely piece and quite different from the rest of the album. I'm sure Scott will keep it in mind for a later show. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:14am
glenn:
yep, everybody knows.... is great too. i simply can't stand harvest though. heart of gold is neil's stairway. great artist, terrible song. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:16am
Wendy:
@ Glenn. Couldn't disagree more, but to each his own. Not even Out on the Weekend or Words? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:16am
Patrick:
scott, great tunes this morning! | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:19am
Scott:
Hey thanks Patrick. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:19am
Hugo:
I would put Ragged Glory high on the list because that's what it is. And Tonight's the Night. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:21am
glenn:
okay wendy, those are good tunes. plus the needle and the damage done. maybe it's just that my dislike for heart of gold is lying over top of everything else. kinda like putting fake maple syrup on top of the best pancakes ever made. yeah, just like that. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:24am
tim from champaign:
Zuma. The Dead Man soundtrack is high on my list. Comes A Time is a nice Sunday morning coming down type of record. I'm not a big CSNY fan but I really love Helpless. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:27am
seang:
yes, Dead Man, when the bones split apart in the opening credits as the distorted guitar erupts--5 seconds of pure cinematic bliss-by the way anybody got any tobacco? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:27am
Cecile:
I like that cassingle with Eldorado on it. And the live deal from the late 60s when he's free-associating in Ann Arbor. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:30am
glenn:
i gotta ask... what the hell is melissa etheridge thinking, having david crosby as a sperm donor, not once, but twice??????? sidney crosby , maybe. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:31am
adamp:
audio greatness, scott, as usual! | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:34am
Scott:
Hey Adam! | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:34am
tim from champaign:
Yeah, I'd be a little leary of a genetic disposition toward substance abuse and walrus mustaches. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:43am
Wendy:
Such a good show today, too - | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:43am
greg:
agree. sonic superness. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:45am
Cecile:
Hey, he's hardy as a horse. He's still standing after all the crap he's done. And, hey if you're not actually doing the deed and want a kid... | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:49am
Cecile:
I mean, I love Neil Young, but if I'm looking at it very cold-eyed, there's the diabetes and the recessive cerebal palsy gene... | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:51am
Parq:
I kinda doubt there was much chance that Ethridge and her squeeze were going to choose Hugh Cornwell. Speaking of folky-roots music, this set is taking my right back to the pre-punk days of folkie stuff on the radio in Boston in the mid-70s. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:56am
glenn:
why not hugh cornwell? he's younger, smarter, better looking. on the other hand, i'm sure he'd have laughed them out of the room. and..... i'm gonna say it right here, punk rock IS folk music. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:58am
Mike East:
does that mean funk is polka? | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:58am
Mike East:
that was bad and I apologize. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 11:59am
Cecile:
To paraphrase Leadbelly, it's all folk music. Folks make it. | |
|
Fri. 11/5/10 12:00pm
annie:
i've been listening, i'm just in a very foul mood.. | |
