![]() Ah, Cilla Black... MUCH better than the Beatles.... NOT!!!! I've said it before and I'll say it again: FMU is my fave station EVER but there exists a slight aversion to playing ACTUAL Beatles (versus Beatle related or Beatle sound-a-likes.) Gaylord claimed (something to the effect) that it is partially due to the sheer greater number of Beatle related tracks, which I suppose makes sense, but still... I dunnoo... There ain't nothin' wrong with a lil more Beatles ever, dangit! |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for playing Cilla and Sandie! <3 |
![]() |
![]() Stay tuned for The Mighty Manfred of The Woggles! |

![]() @jeezy: Nothing wrong with the Beatles! I just didn't get my copy of the new record yet! |

Sandie Shaw!!! She's up there with Lulu!!! | |

![]() Are you coming to see Lulu Claudia?? |

![]() It's all over Spotify, @MattBelow!! And it's quite weird, actually... Like a 90's stereo mix of Sgt. Pepper... |

R.I.P. Gregg Allman! | |

![]() @jeezy: I heard it on spotify. As I was listening my impression was why did they bother? The original is fine! |

![]() Interesting. Giles Martin is very well-spoken & level-headed in interview...He's not coming on like this replaces anything, as long as people listen to whichever version they like... |

![]() @Rev: The stripped away Penny Lane was fascinating |

![]() @Jeezy: This may surprise you, but the Beatles are one of the most-played groups on WFMU. It's just that, unlike as with all other stations, where there's a fixed and narrow playlist, at WFMU the Beatles are competing for airtime with every single song ever recorded. (For the record, both Matt M and I have proudly played the Beatles on our respective shows, and I've made no bones about them being my favorite group of all.) |

![]() Fair point, Gaylord! Perhaps my point is based more on my "feeling" than empirical fact. Shame on me, haha! |
![]() |
![]() I am proudly wearing 2 Beatles pins on my jean jacket! |
![]() |
![]() @Jeezy: I pose that another reason you hear more Beatles-inspired stuff rather than the real deal on WFMU is that there are thousands upon thousands of those and only 200-plus actual Beatles songs. And if anyone can find a trove of Beatles-adjacent songs, it's the preposterously knowledgeable WFMU musical hive mind! |

Hahahaha!!!! This guy is crackin' me up :) It's been so long since I've seen the Woggles. Good to know that they're still kickin' around. | |

![]() @Claudia: Yeah a new album coming out this year! Great fellas |
![]() |
![]() @MattBelow: The badges are all well and good, but at least you're not wearing that ring you got from a fan anymore. It certainly was getting you in a peck of trouble. |

![]() I worship TheBeatles - but there are only those 13ish albums plus peripherals - which I'm as well-steeped in as I am any other thing ...& a whole world of sturff I ain't never heard yet! That's generally where FMU comes in... Seeing the Woggles on a Live FMU stream made me feel like I was seeing the Small Faces on my 1st dose of speed... |
![]() |
![]() Looks like WFMU has unearthed another great Fake Beatles track with the Woggles' "Fire Thief"! Sorry, Jeezy! :) |
![]() |
![]() ...sounds like NJ's own Knickerbackers to me!... |

![]() Right, @Gaylord... Another good point! |

![]() @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: i.e., the Beatles of Fake Beatles bands — and yes, the chorus does recall the Knicks' "One Track Mind" a bit. |
