Sorry I'm late Larry. I was trying to listen to another radio show but I don't think it's on today. I'll have to make up the first 20 minutes of this show later. Also, sorry for not tuning in to your Saturday fill-in show as I had to go out that day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:26pm

Pollen! don't even talk about pollen. Since we had such a wet winter here, the plants and trees are all in overdrive. I'm miserable. My lungs are itchy and I have a nasty cough.

Hey Erica! No worries! Glad you're here now.

@Parq & Franco - I had my first yearly experience of washing the pollen off the windshield yesterday. Just had to open a fresh box of tissues. Not looking forward to peak pollen AT ALL.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm

I'm lucky in that I don't have acute hay fever, but when it's as bad as it is now -- I mean clouds of plant residue blowing around in the air -- well, good luck to anybody out there.

I'll say you are Larry. Also, I like the loungey feel of this song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:52pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, this is a favorite album of mine. Towa Tei was the DJ in Dee-Lite, and his use of samples and beats is really imaginative and stylish. Believe it or not there's an Ike and Tina Turner sample in this one. Good headphones music.

Great. Now I can look up that interview (without the Orb) later. Thanks guys!

Now I want to look it up! I never thought to see where it came from.

5 years ago this past Monday I was at a Kraftwerk show.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:36pm
Funky16Corners:

How were they?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm
Andrew Waterloo:

according to Wiki, it was from an interview disc, that was not Burton. That would have been a pretty awesome episode of Reading Rainbow though
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm
joe:

I stand corrected it is not from REeading Rainbow "The samples are widely believed to have come from a conversation between Jones and LeVar Burton on the children's television programme Reading Rainbow,[3] but in fact originated from an interview disc that was issued with some promotional boxed copies of her album Flying Cowboys. The interview was not conducted by Burton."

@Funky16Corners Really really Good
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm
Andrew Waterloo:

coincidentally I've been listening to some old Ninja Tune comps
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:39pm
Funky16Corners:

@Joe - Was the the series of shows where they were doing entire albums?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm
joe:

@Funky16Corners It was the one right after that. The 3D tour. My guess done because how amazingly well the album shows you are speaking of was received.

The Pat Metheny Group played a concert at Montclair State College right after I started my freshman year, in this little theater. It was pretty incredible, right after this album came out.
Avatar 🥁 2:27pm
Erica:

Didn't imagine you to be into Pat Metheny Larry, especially since their later stuff is more smooth jazz and less experimental jazz like the earlier stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:27pm
Webhamster Henry:

HI Testifiers! As Falls.. is a classic!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 2:29pm
Funky16Corners:

I loved this era of the Metheny Group because even though it's presented as jazz it's really a lot further out than that, almost a jazz take on progressive rock. I even dig their more traditional sounding stuff, but this is a pretty unusual/remarkable piece of work, especially for the early 80s
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 2:29pm
