Hi Fiveash!

Time to deliver an ass-kicking to love, Matt 5
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:03pm Matt from Springfield:

The Shangri-Las don't ignore the perils and dangers of love! Then again characters have a high mortality rate in their songs in any event...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:04pm Stanley:

Earwig-o!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:04pm Nate K:

@Matt Did you ever end up spinning records at Daddy's on (Fat) Tuesday.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:05pm Matt from Springfield:

BUDDY! This is a nice song, and great vocal! Shame this has to be a "rarity"!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:06pm Matt F:

Hey Nate- the axed me but I was getting back from outta town a little too late. Glenn, I like it better than the MC5ash or the Dave Clark Fiveash.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:07pm glenn:

i'm gonna guess - is this ernie hawkins?
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:07pm glenn:

i should have waited for the playlist to pop up.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:08pm Matt F:

Good guess, though!
Avatar Thu. 2/14/13 2:08pm Dervish:

The glory of Fiveash.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:09pm Stanley:

The Glory of Love - nice to hear this sung properly, have only been familiar with Joseph Spence's version until now
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:10pm Parq:

Hey, Matt. This version of "You Belong" kills me. Most versions of this song do, actually.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:13pm Matt F:

A collective hello to everyone here!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:14pm Dominick:

Hello there
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:14pm Matt from Springfield:

There's No Other Like The Crystals! Well, except when they recorded under singers under The Crystals' name. Bad example.

KILLIN' it, Matt!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:15pm Matt from Springfield:

Ha ha, good segue from Spector!
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:15pm Ralph and Susan (UK):

yay the Saints. Better than the priginal
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:16pm Matt F:

Hey RSUK. Agreed! Best version ever waxed!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:19pm Matt from Springfield:

YEAH, classic Them!
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:19pm Kristin:

Oh hello!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:20pm Matt F:

OMG Kristin! Feel free to pitch for the WCBN fundraiser on my playlist.
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:20pm Kristin:

OMG HIIII!!!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:22pm Matt F:

I've never typed the letters "OMG" in my life, that's how excited I am!
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:25pm Kristin:

Well, OK you all. Perhaps you've heard of WCBN. We are in Ann Arbor.
Please support all non-commercial radio. You can pledge to us by calling 734-763-3500 or opening your interweb to wcbn.org.

Hello Matt F & everyone -
Happy V-day (or not), depending on your mood!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:26pm Nate K:

Alex!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:26pm Matt F:

Kristin, That's a 7 Secoond Delay-esque stunt worthy of Station Manager Ken's alma mater...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:28pm Matt from Springfield:

Hi Holly!
Remember that "VD Is For Everybody"! ;) At least one DJ must play that a year! (Marty McSorley did the honor on Tuesday, so this station's covered)
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:30pm Kristin:

Matt, it has its own FB event. You all, please invite yoursevles!
https://www.facebook.com/events/336715206446199/
Of course, if you're not into such contrived theatrics, you can pledge anytime through this Sunday. I'm on tomorrow (Friday,) 3pm-5:30.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:30pm Matt from Springfield:

Smoky bed today!
Speaking of which, don't smoke in bed, it's very dangerous...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:31pm S.A. from S.F.:

Anyone up for Billy Bragg's "Valentine's Day Is Over"?
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:33pm Kristin:

PLEASE do the rest of the show in that voice.
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:34pm Katya Oddio:

Excellent voice over!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:34pm S.A. from S.F.:

@Matt (ress Spring.) - I always smoke in bed, because I quit almost 10 years ago so, like last night, I merely DREAMED that I was smoking... FEH.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:35pm Mattress from Springfield:

@SA: As long as there's no flame ;)
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:36pm Matt from Springfield:

@Kristin: At work now, but I'll drop something in your tip jar this evening.
Support all the independent radio you can!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:40pm S.A. from S.F.:

San Francisco has nothing like WFMU, or WCBN, or any of the many other awesome more-or-less free-form stations in the nation, so I am, perforce, forced to support independent radio WHERE I can.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:40pm Stanley:

This Nina Simone sounds very pub-piano (sacrilage to say that I know...but)
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:43pm Matt F:

Nah, you're right. But in a good way I think...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:44pm Matt from Springfield:

@SA: That's exactly true--KUSF once had downtown range, but that of course was yanked out from underneath them.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:46pm Sealy Posturpedic:

All bed music, all the time. That is my demand.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:48pm Stanley:

This show is really doing it for me.
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:48pm bushwood bob:

syreeta from the townships?
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:48pm glenn:

but san francisco does have the freak, and anchor steam. and michael douglas and karl malden together.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:49pm S.A. from S.F.:

@Matt - And besides that, as good as KUSF could be on the modern stuff, they never seemed to have anything like Matt Fiveash's show. No moldy oldies.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:49pm Matt F:

BB- Dunno. Stevie Wonder protege and maybe girlfriend/wife?
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:50pm Matt F:

Tanx Stanley!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:50pm S.A. from S.F.:

But we DO have The Giants, so there IS that.
  Thu. 2/14/13 2:51pm Kristin:

and Dirty Harry.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:53pm S.A. from S.F.:

It doesn't matter -- I'm trading it all for The Mariners and KEXP.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:53pm Matt from Springfield:

@SA: "Matt Fiveash's classic rock: like Classic Rock, only...better."

The important thing is that Matt has a very well *curated* show--playing the cuts that most "moldy oldies" don't include and is far more eclectic in this area than any playlist-based station.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:54pm glenn:

ha! the mariners don't even have ichiro anymore.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:57pm S.A. from S.F.:

Don't get the wrong impression, Matt -- I'm not denigrating this show by referring to its music as "moldy oldies" -- that's just an ironic thingie.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:58pm Matt F:

I take "moldy oldies" as the highest compliment, don't worry!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:58pm glenn:

mafrospring - classic rock IS oldies radio.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 2:58pm Holly in NC:

Syreeta was from Pittsburgh, moved to Detroit & worked at Motown where she met & was briefly married to Stevie W. He produced her great solo 1972 lp after their divorce, that's a good working relationship!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:00pm Holly in NC:

Great Skip Spence btw - thanks Matt!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:00pm S.A. from S.F.:

@glenn - No, but they do have the highest-paid pitcher in baseball, now. And I'm pretty sure that Tim Lincecum will be traded to them before July 31st.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:00pm Matt F:

Hey Holly! Yer welcome.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:02pm S.A. from S.F.:

Wow, it's true -- this Skip Spence thing is incredible!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:04pm Matt from Springfield:

"Suicidal heartbreak songs" were earlier today -- on the Dark Night of the Soul Valentine's special with Mike Sin :)
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:04pm glenn:

i don't know. i don't follow either of them that closely, but i can't see lincecum going anywhere if the giants are in contention, and most baseball writers have picked them to be the n.l. champs again.

there is no such thing as too much james carr.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:06pm Matt from Springfield:

@SA: Don't worry, I get what you were saying.
@glenn: Well, capitalized "Classic Rock" and "Oldies"--industry-forged genres, microtargeted to slightly diff demogs. Mafrospring???...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:06pm glenn:

ooops. except that's otis. once again i should have waited for the playlist.
  Thu. 2/14/13 3:09pm Alf from Upstate:

I am having a very good time listening to this excellent radio show. It is fun and pleasurable.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:09pm Doug Schulkind:

What Alf said.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:10pm Artie:

Dig it, Alfster.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:10pm Matt F:

Hey Doug- just now remembered to make the playlist "live"! Oopsie...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:11pm S.A. from S.F.:

@glenn - Lincecum is in a contract year, coming off a very bad year, He's a Seattle boy, working with a Seattle trainer. The Giants have made no move to keep him in SF beyond this year. 'Nuff said.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:15pm Doug Schulkind:

You rose from the dead, Matt. It's a day for roses after all.

This Bobby Charles is yum. Not sure I've ever heard him at this languorous a tempo.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:15pm S.A. from S.F.:

This track makes me feel lazy and good...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:16pm Matt from Springfield:

The Bobby Charles is nice--yum, even.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:16pm Doug Schulkind:

In Spanish, Matt from Springfield, it's muy yum!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:17pm Matt F:

Yeah Doug, appropriate for one of the languorousest voices in all of music.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:17pm Matt F:

languorousest!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:17pm Holly in NC:

Languorous. THAT is the tempo of my day! NOT lazy, procrastinating. wasting time ...languorous. Enjoyment. Yes ;-)
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:17pm glenn:

nice palindrome.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:19pm S.A. from S.F.:

Mucho delicioso!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:19pm glenn:

buck followed by wynn. good choice
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:19pm Stanley:

By now I'm normally tuning into Fabio on the main channel but not tonight, no siree!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:20pm S.A. from S.F.:

Even better than the Nick Lowe cover that I heard first.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:22pm Matt F:

I love the Nick Lowe version. Had to flip a coin to figure out which one to play...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:24pm Holly in NC:

Y'know what's a really good song? Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "When The Nights Are Cold". Just mentioning.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:24pm S.A. from S.F.:

O holy crap, this John Prrine & Iris Dement number is INCREDIBLE.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:25pm Stanley:

Isn't this Ramones track being played at the wrong speed?
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:25pm glenn:

holly, you know what else is a good jimmie dale gilmore song? everything he's ever done, except maybe mack the knife.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:27pm Holly in NC:

@glenn - very, very true.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:28pm S.A. from S.F.:

Stanley, no.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:29pm Holly in NC:

I JUST REALIZED THAT I DO NOT HAVE THIS RONETTES SONG ON MY COMPUTER. Grabbing cd & rectifying RIGHT NOW
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:30pm Stanley:

@ SA - just kiddin', just I'm not used to them at anything less than breakneck speed.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:31pm glenn:

i would like to point out that jimmie dale's looking a lot like riff raff these days.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:32pm Holly in NC:

@glenn - i need pictures.

Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:35pm Stanley:

I agree, this track is quite amazing
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:36pm Holly in NC:

@Artie & @Glenn - so relieved! I was thinking "hip hop" (note quotes) Riff Raff, not Rocky Horror!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:37pm glenn:

please. as if there could ever be another riff raff.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:37pm Artie:

Yes, Holly, yes. And Butch Hancock now resembles DMX.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:38pm Stanley:

Matt - you're smokin'
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:39pm Holly in NC:

@Artie - if I can't get tea out of my keyboard, may charge you for making me spit ;-)
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:39pm ndbob:

.. and back for the list few minutes - Hi Matt and everyone!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:40pm Matt F:

ios that riff raff or dmx? glenn not know "rappers".
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:54pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey, this isn't the original one...
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:55pm Holly in NC:

@glenn - that w/b riff raff, you can see my confusion. dmx is very big and very black & very bald , which is why artie's quip was so funny.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:55pm Matt F:

Sure isn't.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:55pm Holly in NC:

This slays the original!
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 3:57pm Stanley:

Maybe I'm just intoxicated by the theme but this has been one most enjoyable show. Thanks Matt.

Hasta la vista.

  Thu. 2/14/13 4:01pm Katya Oddio:

Hard to believe she is the same Sylvia Robinson who would found Sugar Hill Records, create the Sugar Hill Gang, and produce classics like "The Message" and "Rapper's Delight". RIP, Godmother of Hip Hop.
Avatar ♥   Thu. 2/14/13 4:03pm Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: I was amazed to hear that when she passed--truly a great of music, on the producing and singing sides!
