Tough act to follow, Kurt. But you're off to a fine start.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:06pm Cecile:

Wow! A War deep cut I forgot about (they're probably my favorite band ever) and a Don Cherry Black Orpheus cover. Nice

Wed. 1/12/11 12:07pm Carmichael:

I still remember every single sound on World is a Ghetto album. Incredible music.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:09pm Cecile:

Carm, they are so bloody underrated. Nobody has ever sounded like them and never will.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:10pm Cecile:

I mean, Low Rider was a top 10 single, and it was one of the most dissonant things to hit the pop airwaves ever!

Wed. 1/12/11 12:16pm Carmichael:

Lee Oskar: a funk harmonica player?!? His poster was on my wall for years. Cooler than cool.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:18pm Cecile:

I know! Denmark's finest!

Wed. 1/12/11 12:23pm Cecile:

I had to go revisit his BLT on Grooveshark for a moment.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:43pm Richard from Venezuela:

The lady on the front page of wfmu is similar to the girl singer of Blood Red Shoes. She is bloody hot.

Wed. 1/12/11 12:45pm schizflow:

i think it might be a still from a godard movie

Wed. 1/12/11 12:45pm schizflow:

maybe contempt

Wed. 1/12/11 12:52pm Cecile:

This is best interview ever.

Wed. 1/12/11 1:02pm Cecile:

I didn't get them before, but in the last couple of years they finally clicked.

Wed. 1/12/11 1:05pm Tom:

Image = Anna Karina, Une Femme est Une Femme.

Wed. 1/12/11 1:06pm Tom:

Man next door - best tune ever

Wed. 1/12/11 1:47pm frenchee:

thanks for this Ari Up concert broadcast, Kurt. It's awesome. Heartbreaking to hear her talking about all her energy.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:06pm slugluv1313:

ditto, frenchee -- ARI UP was like no other; i still cannot believe she is gone -- but her MUSIC and ENRGY live on FOREVER!!!

Wed. 1/12/11 2:12pm CheriPi:

If I weren't working my fingers to the bone I'd be on the comment board hyperbolizing about how much I love this show.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:21pm emmagineering:

Interesting, the now-sadly defunct japanese group afrirampo must have drawn a lot from their sound. Thanks djkg! And KG don't stand for KiloGram.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:22pm Looms:

Many thanks for the live recording! I'll miss Ari.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:23pm DJ KG:

good point, emmagineer. afrirampo ruled.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:29pm Cecile:

I think most all-women alt-punk-etc bands are either reacting to the Slits or rejecting them. But they are monolithic. And I'm sure a huge influence on Melt-Banana as well...

Wed. 1/12/11 2:31pm Cecile:

I meant to say revering the Slits instead of reacting.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:33pm Cecile:

And this current song is amazing.

Wed. 1/12/11 2:48pm Ike:

Just tuned back in during the fantastic Alemayehu Eshete. Love this set so far, too.
