Listener comments!

  12:06pm
Brian in UK:

Welcome back Steve. We need something to cheer us up over here from this incessant rain.
  12:07pm
Sea Parsons:

Listener Sea tuned in.
  12:09pm
kat330:

Hi, Steve! First-time listener, but I like your previous playlists a lot!

Howdy, BUK! Your rain would have been an appropriate backdrop for our movie-viewing the past few days: "Rashomon" and "Georgy Girl," "Kon Tiki," "Total Recall," "The Prisoner" final ep -- all very wet.
  12:10pm
fred von helsing:

OMG someone exhumed Guy Lombardo :)
  12:11pm
fred von helsing:

the remake of The Prisoner was sadly lamous - it could have been any generic sci-fi movie
  12:11pm
frenchee:

I collect versions of the PETER GUNN theme, and I don't have this one! It's grrrreat!
  12:12pm
kat330:

Hiya, fred v h! We were wondering about that since it's promoted at the end of the DVD specials.
  12:13pm
kat330:

Yes, love the Gunn!
  12:15pm
fred von helsing:

hiya k330, what was the conclusion on my melancolia review - too demented ? off to party RSN, only five more hours in this the barfiest of the barfy year
  12:16pm
Brian in UK:

Hiya kat330 I remember the original Prisoner on TV here.
  12:17pm
Ike:

That "Prisoner" remake was willfully incoherent (in the hopes that viewers would mistake the confusion for profundity) and slow, plus the dialogue was terrible. Even Ian McKellen couldn't make any hash browns out of that hash.
  12:18pm
kat330:

Me, too, over here -- but I'd forgotten so very much of it. Was good seeing it all again. Actually, I'd already seen ALL those movies before that I listed (except the remake of Recall).,
  12:19pm
kat330:

I'll let Philo speak for himself, fred. I already deemed it "succinct and heady." :)
  12:19pm
Thatpatsmith:

Great show!
  12:20pm
Brian in UK:

Guess I should add it was probably slightly less plot orientated then the Rockford Files.
  12:21pm
fred von helsing:

If the music at the party slacks off I'll try to tune'em in to "The Fun Ninety-One" :-D
  12:23pm
Philo Gristle:

Hello! Fred, liked your review of Melancholia, not demented at all (or, some insanity is always good for writing reviews). Whether accurate is irrelevant since any decent movie will be open to more than one interpretation. Which is not to say I don't agree, but would need to rewatch to get fresh perspective! It makes my top 5 of the year, tho.
  12:24pm
Philo Gristle:

Uh, should be more accurate. Makes my top 5 of NEW movies seen in 2012.
  12:25pm
drew in tucson:

Enjoying the show Steve. Rainy morning in Tucson - and that's a good thing.
  12:27pm
Philo Gristle:

Much as I like them 'solo,' wish Calexico guys were back with Howe Gelb. Some random acts of noise would fit in.
  12:37pm
Mike East:

Though I don't like to admit, I don't think I really "got" Melancholia. Or a may have just not liked it very much.
  12:37pm
Parq:

Hanji! Whatever that means.
  12:38pm
kat330:

Are Cornershop still "gettin' it done"? I hope so.
  12:39pm
kat330:

@Mike: In the New Year, check the "junk mail" bin morning, noon and night on the job! :)
  12:41pm
Philo Gristle:

I wouldn't recommend it to most people, and I think you need to be in the right frame of mind to get into it, but it did work for me. Not always true of Von Trier's movies.
  12:43pm
kat330:

Ahhhh!! A few hours delayed, but here's my sweet "Sleepwalk"! Thanks, Mr. Krinsky!
  12:44pm
Philo Gristle:

Speaking of Tucson, always really likes the Rainer Ptacek version of Sleepwalk.... especially a live version heard on some boot.
  1:07pm
Brian in UK:

'Were you lying down when you stood me up' Gurf Morlix. Oh yeah.
  1:08pm
Philo Gristle:

Well, I'll throw in a probably impossible instro request:

If you have Bo Diddley's "Aztec" handy, that's a terrific and sadly mostly forgotten tune.
  1:10pm
Dave in PA:

Great show Steve!
  1:11pm
maa:

Steve! our better halves know each other through work. first time hearing your show and it's great!
  1:12pm
kat330:

At moments, I thought Gary Stewart's voice was similar to Loudon Wainwright's.
  1:13pm
Dave in PA:

Does anybody know what that instrument was - the one that sounded like a bass slide guitar?
  1:20pm
kat330:

Steve, if you see the Lonnie Holley "Just Before Music" around there, I'd sure enjoy hearing "Fifth Child Burning" -- if it fits in with your mood.
  1:26pm
Bubba:

Excellent New Year's soundtrack!
  1:27pm
kat330:

As for Winchester snubbing Patsy, similarly Louisville never gave Ali his due until just the past decade. A really nice museum they have across the river there now.
  1:28pm
Mark in Hawaii:

Good morning! like your station and your show....long live freeform radio....request "Lost Love Found" off Tucson
  1:41pm
frenchee:

Oh this Geoff M. is soooo beautiful and bittersweet.
  1:45pm

  1:50pm
kat330:

Hi, Sean! And Happy New Year to you as well! You have rain I hear?
  1:51pm
kat330:

In this same musical mood, Steve, some Dave Van Ronk would go down nicely. If you still are wanting requests. :)
  1:54pm
kat330:

This is so Cotton-pickin' great!
  1:55pm
annie:

kat330:

Muldaur's career spans my own life approx., from age 16 to the reverse of that number. ;) Nice bookends to a shelf of vinyl.
  2:28pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

@Kat, ridiculous amounts, the day is dry until I step outside with my bicycle, then the heavens open
  2:28pm
kat330:

Mollusk injecting that Perry Mason (? I think) theme in there!
  2:29pm
Brian in UK:

Hello Sean, been listening on the radio. I see now where Taj Mahal's version of Freight Train comes from, almost note for note. Music Fuh Yah is a wonderful album.
Happy NY everone. Come back soon, Steve.
  2:31pm
kat330:

@Sean: Stay inside then and listen to these warm sounds from my early childhood (and even prenatal) years. ☼ <-- warm sun

Sean in Bristol, UK:

This track is wonderful
  2:50pm
Kurt Vonnegut:

oh, that's what that is...
  2:53pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

  2:55pm
WC Fieldmouse:
