I just got here BigPOppa but, Y.O. and CAN were simultaneous in early '70s; maybe with co-knowledge? I dunno.

So Jeff - there is no difference IMO between influence, homage or rip off

Is there reason to believe Yoko Ono was even aware of what Can was doing in 1970 when this was recorded? Give her some credit.

IDK60. I thought Yoko was only active in the 80s. Okay, see I've waded in with a comment that's completely ill informed. It was more of a question in response to Yoko being ahead of her time. For clarity, I've always enjoyed what I've heard

@chresti, IRL I've never been, but had a dream about going and saying to the family member who was w/me, "Let's hit the SG Valley, that's where all the good restaurants are", but also being worried about getting stuck in traffic. Wait, you can hike at the tennis courts? Maybe I *will* have to go.

need an aroma version of your show. what smells should accompany this radio program?

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:25pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@robin - I smelled some lilacs the other day and it made me think of Gaylord's program.
  2:25pm Mark R:

Yeah I can hear that, Danny. I love it too.
Avatar 2:26pm Bergey:

Lilacs and Gaylord does sound right ken
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:26pm ChukAmok:

If this show had its own scent I think that it would be that of a flowering Tea Olive tree in September.

sorry Robin but i'mgetting the smell of grass on a summer morning

the library near where i grew up had the first Portsmouth Sinfonia LP -- i borrowed it constantly when i was a teenager (iirc, heard about it through Eno) -- drove my poor Mom nuts though! she was quite the *classical music snob*

ambient? like eno and fripp?

@PRB: It sure does. This sounds so good right now.
Avatar 2:31pm Samantha:

@mrputtle- no with radios actually!
  2:31pm Mark R:

Ah, "Moon Safari," this sure takes me back, but in a good way--this and the "Virgin Suicides" soundtrack were my first two Air albums, they were kind of the soundtrack to when my (now grown) kids were little--I mean, REALLY little, like 2 years old and 0!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:31pm officina:

Lovely fill-in Samantha. Miss your regular show!
Avatar ♥ 2:31pm slugluv1313:

yes this Air is so gorgeous!
  2:31pm mrputtle:

with live broadcasts?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:31pm Ryansterlingvirtue:

@samantha I had a villa for two weeks in the south of Spain and I purposely only played this album so I’d forever associate it with that time. It worked!
  2:32pm Tyler:

"takes me back, but in a good way" too

yes Magnet and Steel one of the few "hits" i loved back then (was totally in the underground/"punk" world by the mid-70s) -- the Buckingham/Nicks vocals were like the icing on the cake

The sounds in here right now... this is what I imagine might be playing whenever I think to tune in WFMU*. The toy-piano lore... my cultural life is a strip mall with rare portals into glorious caverns like WFMU. Such giants in this room, Samantha, Gaylord.
