Parq:
Oh man, I can still remember Plymouth Baracuda commercials on top-40 radio in the 60s. What a thing to hold onto for almost half a century. | |
|

Rubble:
A-L-L-E-N spells oldies! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:25pm
Cecile:
I'm convinced that if Barrence had started working 25 years later, he'd be in Sharon Jones's place. The real thing. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:28pm
James:
Really enjoyed hearing the Booze in the studio last week. I also recommend the Biters that are on tour with them. Fun power-pop/glam stuff. | |

|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:32pm
SmokinJ:
You Rock Terre! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:38pm
Joe B:
Cecile, I think it was just Peter Greenberg from DMZ on that album, I could be wrong though! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:38pm
Brian in UK:
Joe, is this an Eddie Cochran original? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:39pm
Cecile:
I think you're right. But he's a monolith! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:39pm
Joe B:
Brian, She Said Yeah was Larry Williams originally! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 12:40pm

Houston's NORTON headquarters! OLDIES in 5 MIN!!!! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:01pm
Cecile:
Trailer Trash are a great honky-tonk/rockabilly band. Daddy O'Grande is from Minneapolis. That's sad to hear... | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:04pm
SigsLagoon:
OLDIES!!!!!!! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:05pm

Mike, the music in the background was recorded directly from a vintage strata bowling video game. I could be wrong but I don't think you can find it anywhere for d/l! | |

Thu. 6/2/11 1:11pm
Carmichael:
OK, back from meeting and ready for rekkids. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:15pm
Carmichael:
Are you guys available for weddings? Wakes? Paroles? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:18pm
Parq:
Carm, remember to invite the Parole Officer. And he should probably be comped. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:20pm
Cecile:
eyyy, parq. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:22pm
Allen Hill:
Yes we are available for all dancing occasions | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:23pm
efd:
Is there still a "single side of the stage" with this 4-man lineup? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:26pm
Cynthia:
Allen Hill and the boys knock it out of the park once again. Damn I wish it was 2 weekends ago and we had two more oldies sets tonight!! I will just have to listen to this on the archive later! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:26pm
Cecile:
I think all parole hearings should have a band. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:28pm
Sigs Lagoon:
we are near capacity at Sig's. Need to make an Oldies pop run!!!!! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:28pm
Mike East:
Holy Crap I want to be in this band. Sounding great! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:35pm
Cecile:
always a joy to hear him on your show | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:36pm
Carmichael:
That can't be a real Farfisa, can it?!? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:37pm
Carmichael:
Ha Ha!! Crazy Elephant!! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:47pm
Parq:
I've heard a ton about these guys, but this is the first time I've heard one of their sets. Their unabashed pleasure in these tunes comes through loud and clear. Must be a blast on stage. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:48pm
Joe B:
especially when they play 5 hours straight with NO breaks | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:50pm
Cecile:
You must get them for your fundraiser show.. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:50pm
Cynthia:
Parq, they are a phenomenon that cannot be described and must be experienced! Energy like nothing else I've ever seen. And joe isn't kidding when he says they can do five hour shows with no breaks! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:51pm
efd:
Great live set! Thanks Joe, Mike, ToT and of course the Allen Oldies Band themselves!! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:52pm
efd:
Cynthia speaks the truth (as always) - one of the most amazing live shows I've ever seen. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:53pm
pierre:
Bonjour all ! Bonjour Joe, Bonjour Terre T, its sunny, there a great live on ! Thanks everyone, thanks wfmu… this is great | |

Feels like summer is here...fun fun fun! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:56pm
Stephen:
Thanks for all the Oldies, Joe! Great meeting you at the Fifth Estate in Brooklyn for Eva 40! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:56pm
Cecile:
Sounds like Craig Finn on this... | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:57pm
glenn:
aw man, i forgot. baseball project played here last night. they were probably better than the blue jays. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:57pm
Joe B:
Nothing gets past Cecile! right again! same here Stephen! Hi RZ, pierre and everyone! thanks Evan! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:58pm
Joe B:
how did i forget this next song for the end of the world set? d-oh | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:59pm
Cecile:
I know from Craig Finn. They do have a nice park now. Still haven't been there, but it looks really cool. They had Killebrew's number on all the trains in town when he passed. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 1:59pm
Cecile:
I always thought Craig Finn sounded like a cross between Neil Diamond and Mark E. Smith. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:00pm
glenn:
now i have an image in my head of the fall performing sweet caroline. it ain't pretty. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:01pm
Joe B:
not a big fan but was impressed when he guested with the Baseball Project here in April | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:01pm
Cecile:
I would love to hear that. But seriously, yeah. I was at a Lifter Puller show, and I was all "dude, who does he sound like...noooo!" | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:02pm
Cecile:
he's a smart guy, good songwriter. A friend of friends who I haven't met, but have seen live a couple of time. And I have no interest in his music at all. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:04pm
Stephen:
How about Radio Smash by the Knuckle Sandwiches (featuring bass player Andy Slater!) | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:04pm
Cecile:
But if you are at the Twins ballpark, please get either a VIncent burger (stuffed with short ribs) or a Kramarczuk's brat. Best in the world. Or you can just skip the game and hit both places. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:06pm
Rubble:
I'm not too into his band either but saw him do that tune with baseball project live and he knocked it out of the par!k (cheap baseball reference intended). Really spirited performance! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:06pm
efd:
And don't forget to pick up a can of Harmon Killebrew root beer! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:06pm
Cecile:
here's a band i haven't heard in forever - Gaunt. Got any? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:07pm
Cecile:
He is a dynamic live singer. really charismatic. Just don't dig either Lifter Puller or Hold Steady. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:07pm
Cecile:
that's right efd! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:07pm
Joe B:
knuckle sandwiches not here. Cecile, not a big Gaunt fan, plus no time to run in library, sorry! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:08pm
Cecile:
That's fine! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:08pm
Stephen:
No sweat! Love the show! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:09pm
Stephen:
and Eva says thanks for the shout out! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:12pm
glenn:
i don't know lifter puller. the hold steady i can take or leave, although i know people wax poetic over them. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:12pm
Nanker de Tucson:
Love me some Baseball Project! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:13pm
glenn:
jose bautista. no steroids, many home runs. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:14pm
Cecile:
DO IT, Joe. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:14pm
glenn:
no way dude. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:14pm
Cecile:
glenn, that was the early New Wave/Springsteen flavored combo a couple of Hold Steady folks had back in Minneapolis - before they moved to NY. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:15pm
glenn:
he's getting a lot more a.b.s and he's finally got a good batting coach. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:15pm
Cecile:
O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:15pm
Walt Whitman:
Yes? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:16pm
Cecile:
LOL! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:17pm
glenn:
plus he's hitting what, .365 with on o.b.p. of .510. jose's the real deal. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:18pm
Joe B:
not impressed. Many Blue Jays went to Dr. Galea, an HGH doctor who engaged in all sorts of shady practices. journeyman to 54 homers in one year, I am suspect | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:19pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
grrrrrrrrrr | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:20pm
Walt Whitman:
LOL? I am not familiar with this archaic term. Please elucidate. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:20pm
glenn:
we shall have to agree to disagree. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:21pm
Cecile:
time will determine the winner in this argument. And perhaps a congressional subcommitee. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:21pm
Cecile:
I always love it when Joe unfurls his noisy freak flag. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:22pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
Jose couldn't even do steroids right when he was here | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:23pm
Das:
I enjoyed that Beefheart so much it's almost obscene. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:24pm
glenn:
he wasn't alone, then. when was the last time the pirates had a winning season? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:25pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
grrrrrrrrrr | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:26pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
last winning record, early 90s; last accomplished steroids user, Brian Giles | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:26pm
Cecile:
oooooh. Escandalo! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:27pm
glenn:
well, at least pittsburgh's got a halfway decent ballpark. the skydome's an abomination. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:28pm
Joe B:
don't wish for a new ballpark - it just gives them an excuse to jack up ticket prices a la Shitty Field in flushing | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:29pm
glenn:
besides, i seem to recall sandy koufax sucked for his first 3 or 4 years, and after that it was lights out. why can't it be the same for jose and other late bloomers? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:29pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
PNC rocks, and Bucco pitching has been remarkably good, may even have a legit All-Star or two | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:30pm
Joe B:
Koufax always threw hard. this clown Never had power | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:32pm
Lizardner Dave:
PNC is a very nice ballpark though downtown Pittsburgh felt like someone had dropped a neutron bomb - nice office buidlings and whatnot but other than the odd smoker there was nobody on the street even on a gameday. Most underrated, under-the-radar fun place to see a ballgame: Miller Park in Milwaukee. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:33pm
KevinfromBayRidge:
Great Show Joe! All this & the Capt too! Ticket prices for what? Is there any actual MLB action at the aforementioned "Field"? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:34pm
glenn:
for everybody who hates their job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dTHlTu_DC8 | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:35pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
@Lizardner Dave: Miller Park is indeed fun, but too many decks---you are waaaay up there in the cheap seats | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:36pm
glenn:
aw come on, joe. if jose bautista was playing for the yankees you'd be thrilled. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:36pm
Joe B:
nope, wouldn't be thrilled or impressed. Yankees have had more roid guys than anyone. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:37pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
everyone plays for the Yankees eventually .... | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:38pm
cynthia:
Jersey folks, get a wristband at the pier sessions tonight for drink specials at DC's later on! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:40pm
Walt Whitman:
Can one be gruntled? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:41pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
yes, me during the Cynics track earlier! thanks Joe B ! | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:42pm
Cecile:
Pirates Fan, how popular are the Cynics in their hometown? (I rarely leave Beaver County when I'm there.) | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:45pm
glenn:
i'm probably going to regret this, but what is beaver county? | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:47pm
Cecile:
It's a county in Western Pennsylvania, about 30 miles from PIttsburgh. My mom lives in Beaver Falls. HOme of Joe WIllie Namath. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:48pm
glenn:
oh. so not a peeler bar then. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:49pm
Cecile:
A good place to be from. No, glenn. Good guess. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:49pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
@Cecile: you're close! very popular, conditionally. fan base is aging and needs sitters etc. with enough advance notice, they'll fill a theater, and they always pack the 31st St Pub that being said, dopey bands like Rusted Root and the Clarks and the Povertyneck Hillbillies have been more popular locally, Cynics have always been second fiddle | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:50pm
glenn:
have you been to fallingwater? i'd love to go, but the admission is something like 150$ | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:51pm
Cecile:
That sounds about right. They are the kind of band I'd go see fairly often if they are in town. But I don't drive, so I'm stuck with the bluehair set in Beaver Falls. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:52pm
Joe B:
sorry, no Mike Fornatale interview due to operator error (read: DJ incompetence) apologies to Mike, definitely check out the Beefheart tribute saturday if you are in NYC | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:54pm
glenn:
get your mom to drive you. you could relive your teens. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:54pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
when I was a kid, we used to drive to Fallingwater and drink there. now it's all fenced off and guarded and museo-corporate it's really awesome to see though, sorry it costs so much now. FLW has another house nearby too, Kentuck Knob, try and do them both if you do one | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:56pm
glenn:
i'd go to buffalo. i think there's still 4 or 5 flw hoses there. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:56pm
Cecile:
glenn, 1) I babysat while my mom went out. 2) I'm not getting in car with her ever again. She's too old to drive. | |
|
Thu. 6/2/11 2:57pm
disgruntledPiratesFan:
Fallingwater is the, ah, PNC Park of FLW's oeuvre | |
