already planned to, kat. but i got home too late last night to do it. of course, it's up to him if he uses it. he adopted my playlist last marathon and has full authority! speaking of which ...

Mike East:

Hey I think Bang on a Can is coming to our studio next week! They're some good people.
  3:08pm

Anyone else familiar with R.L. Burnside's "Bad Luck City"? Wonderful stuff.

Gotta love a band called Bang On A Can

@DJ KG: So, did you select Bang On A Can to foreshadow the upcoming marathon?
  3:18pm
T-Zero:

... and I guess I really shouldn't have referred to them as a "band" eh?
Avatar 3:19pm
DJ KG:

i think that's fair, t-0. boac is an organization, but the all-stars are a band.

Okee Dokee. Back driving the desk and gotcha all dialed in, DJKG.

The Curse of the Blue Noes:

Melvin died on March 24, 1997 at the age of fifty-seven. Brown died on April 6, 2008 at the age of sixty-three of a respiratory condition. In addition, three former members of the group would die during the year 2010. First Teddy Pendergrass died on January 13, 2010 at the age of fifty-nine from complications of colon cancer. Six months later, original member Roosevelt Brodie, who was the second tenor for the original Blue Notes, died July 13, 2010 at the age of seventy-five due to complications of diabetes. And just five months later in that year, Bernard Wilson died on December 26, 2010 at the age of sixty-four from complications of a stroke and a heart attack. Pendergrass' predecessor, John Atkins, and successor David Ebo, are also deceased (1998 and 1993 respectively).

You mean the Blue Notes weren't godlike beings with immortality? I'm disappointed.

Teddy actually had a pretty good long life considering that his spinal cord was severely damaged. Still miss him, though.
  3:43pm
Actuary:

Average life expectancy for males is close to 80. It was 55-65 in about 1900-1920.

DJ KG:

hi pierre! and hello everyone.

incident report so far: one skipping cd and one wrong phone number given out. things are rough up here in the little studio...
  3:50pm
Cecile:

Yes, but paraplegic males with spinal chord injuries after the age of 30 are only expected to live 15-20 years after the injury. Teddy had a terrible car accident in the early 80s that confined him to a wheelchair until his death.

Did Bryce get out all right? I'm worried about him and that frog in this throat.

DJ KG:

  3:56pm
kat330:

His jaw didn't appear to be working well this afternoon, so maybe it's safe.
  3:56pm
Actuary:

Guys who were up the charts as popular singers 35 years ago (and therefore in their twenties or early thirties at that time) should not *all* be dead. The odds are way against that, but in this case it happened. They all died of various things that were not old-age driven.

What superstitious amateurs call a "curse" is not about spinal cord injury survival data, which applies only to one person in the situation. Instead, it's about how a bunch of famous musicians in a group together all ended up dead by their fifties and early sixties, which anyone who knows someone who's died at that age knows is an early death, not a normal-age death.

Is it a lifestyle issue? Or --

Bad Luck?
  3:58pm
Cecile:

A little of both, Actuary?
  3:59pm
Carmichael:

The way I partied 35 years ago, I should be dead. But I'm not, although I haven't a clue what my remaining life expectancy should be. Probably about an hour.
  3:59pm
Actuary:

That's usually the right answer, actually.
  4:00pm

You celebrities end a feud by calling Perez Hilton and saying the feud is over.

FBI files reveal Steve Jobs dropped LSD, making him an undesirable and unstable. My guess is it aided his genius.

I'm hoping it was done specifically as a joke, but the most outrageous visual blur by a censor I've yet to see was on Letterman. It was a screenshot of a tweet from someone that used either BFD or WTF, can't recall, and they BLURRED the letter "F"! What the eff is that about??!
  4:06pm
?:

@Cecile: well, according to the conspiracy people, all people in power are members of the Illuminati as well, so they're not going to be worried about Madonna. They were probably chanting in black robes at home.
And it's difficult to type one-handed, while giving my laptop the finger with the other hand.

I CAN HEAR YOU THINKING ABOUT IT FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!
  4:07pm
kat330:

It's a LETTER fercrissakes!
  4:09pm
?:

@kat: I sure hope it was a joke. They do tend to make so many jokes about Twitter and about censorship on Letterman, I would think it was a joke.
Speaking of Letterman, anyone see the Joan Jett/Foo Fighters performance? She's still got it in spades!
  4:11pm
Carmichael:

I'm waiting for Doug S. to jump over here and comment. I'm betting his African Jazz-dar is is waaaaay up ....
  4:12pm
kat330:

@?: Pretty certain I did, but did you see the Foo's deliver the Top 10 last night? They could have used a line reading coach.

@kat: we get the talk shows about 2-4 weeks late, so I'll keep an eye out for that so I can sigh and shake my head at the screen. Show up for rehearsal, people!
  4:17pm
G:

Maybe the Letterman staff think that not rehearsing them much or at all adds comedy and (with plausible deniability) irreverent celeb mockery?
  4:18pm
SAINTCLOUD:

amazing show!cheers from a freezing ROMA!
  4:18pm
Me::

ARTISTS ARE NEVER SLAVES!
  4:19pm
kat330:

Yeah, well, some of Letterman's line deliveries could use more rehearsal of late. I think he's just tired of it all, and who wouldn't be?
  4:19pm
Demosthenes:

The three most important factors in good public speaking are:

1. Delivery
2. Delivery
3. Delivery
  4:19pm
kat330:

@G: But they were not funnier by being under rehearsed -- just sucking the comedy out of what the writer did.
  4:20pm
Me::

Like sucking the music out of a broadcast by talking about lame TV?
  4:21pm
Me::

ARTIST ARE NEVER SLAVES... that resonated with my soul baby! PLAY THAT TRACK AGAIN!
  4:21pm
G:

Mockery isn't always funny :-) The staff know the writers' material is good.

But yes, see Demosthenes, greatest orator of ancient times. He actually said that, when asked for oratory tips.

Paris was very good to the jazz guys in the late 60s. outside of france, less so. there's stories about the house the art ensemble rented in the country and visits from police who thought they were planning revolutionary activities!

Kurt, that's the head-scratcher. It has to be something catchy that most of your show's listeners would know the lyrics to. But that still fits in with the style of the program. Hmm... Maybe you could come up with a top 3 that the comments board could then vote on?

"Pop Muzik" would be nice, because there's very little repetition, but "Don't Sleep in the Subway" is a personal favourite... (Carm's right about the OTT opportunities with ELO, though)
Of course, you could make this a weekly thing, and just go through the whole list.

I'm very familiar with Mrs. Miller, od, although I haven't thought about her in a while!

Since the votes seem to be going a vote per song (and with good write-ins coming in), the weekly segment idea starts to look good.
