@Handy since I regularly listened to this station back last January, this one of these shows I can’t do without
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm Listener Howard & the Cats:

I would love to see/hear an entire production of OLIVER that sounded like that Jacki Bond cover!!! Was there one, Sheila, or just that one song?
Avatar ♥ 3:09pm djsheilab:

Most chuffed to see the ears prick up for Jacki Bond!
Avatar S.B. Boomer: Marathon 2022 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:10pm Handy Haversack:

I hear you, John. Kate and I both fell hard for this show. I think it was desperation to listen on a day that the radio reception was really bad that first led us to listening online and, eventually, me to the boards.
Avatar ♥ 3:10pm djsheilab:

Listeners Howard & the Cats—That is hands down her best record. Some other great singles but nothing quite on that level.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:10pm Yes:

@Handy all I know is that this station keeps me sane in a insane world, have given up listening to commercial radio because of this station

Here's a question for the Boom Boom cognoscenti: anyone have any record shopping recommendations for Paris? I'm going for the first time in a couple of weeks, and this seems like a promising place to ask for pointers :)

I love this song, “Jaipur”. It’s so dreamy.

@The Oscar: I was not specifically on the lookout, but I would certainly try the market St. Ouen. It's just outside the city center to the north. Easy to get to on Metro or a ~40 min. walk from Montmartre and Sacre Coeur.

@Handy Sounds like a good place to start-- thanks!
Avatar S.B. Boomer: Marathon 2022 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:29pm frozen_peas:

similar to Oscar's question, what record shops should I try to hit up in Tokyo in a few weeks? First time visiting and record shopping is high on the list of things to do.

HAHA! Tommy in Neversink—Thank you for that.
  3:39pm Dave Spice:

For the Feb 14th show I'll recommend a love song by a local UK girl - Percy Anderson by Jasmine Kennedy.

Sheila, it has to be Be My Baby. It’s THE song. I know it’s generic to some but it’ll never stop being the most blissful two minutes and forty one seconds.

In honor of your book today, SheilaB, I'm gonna nominate Liz Phair's "Supernova." I'll get Kate to chime in with her choice when she gets home.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:48pm Tommy in Neversink:

Brian...when we form our rational nation there will be ,of course, be varying levels of rationality, competitive attitudes regarding rationality till certain aspects of our society would start to be viewed as stupid in relative terms and then just plain stupid...that's how we will know we are rational

Of my 41.746 songs in iTunes only 152 songs have the maximum of 5-stars *****. Of those songs, the only female fronted love song is Darling by The Womack Sisters. I guess St. Valentine's day massacre by The Cocktail Slippers isn't a love song.

Ahhh...yeah. We loft off at Ricky Jay. That man was a god...and charismatic as well. I saw a documentary wherein he discusses the history of magic and slight of hand and such. Riveting.

@djsheilab oh - did you see Phair at Irving Plaza earlier that year with Pavement and a few others? All I remember is that audience really wanted Pavement to be The Fall. And that Phair refused an encore, but came out on stage to tell everyone that she wasn't playing an encore.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:42pm mariano:

Yes, Ricky Jay was as much a scholar of magic as a master magician. He left one of the most impressive magic libraries. There's some good YouTube clips of him - shows, clips of individual tricks. I always liked him in Mamet films too. He had such a natural NYC card-shark vibe.

Yeah, this Marianne Faithfull is really bringing the dark in.
  4:51pm Dave Spice:

There's a great movie with Marianne Faithful in the lead - no, not the motorbike one - it's called Irina Palm. She plays an older sex worker - French crew - British movie. Brilliant.
  4:52pm Frank Zaatar:

Yes, that Marianne Faithfull is really chilling. I wonder if she sang any Brecht-Weill tunes?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:53pm mariano:

Thanks Handy, looks really cool, just might have to get a copy!

This LeGette track has an excellent Alain Goraguer "La Planete Sauvage" vibe.

@SheilaB, Kate would like to nominate Bjork's "All Is Full of Love" for the show in two weeks -- a song she used to cover with her jazz band to tremendous effect. I can testify.

She was glad Tommy in Neversink had PJ Harvey covered!

@Frank Zataar You're joking, right? Marianne did a whole album of Weill tunes, 20th Century Blues.

I always love the show but tonight is something else. Darkly themed and lusciously textured.
  5:32pm BH:

the format of the schedule page probably lends itself to confusion over the midnight-6am ET shows... but then again, I use going to sleep as the line of demarcation between one day to the next

Every set leaping even higher than that last! This show is really bringing it. I'm floored. I want to grab all of my friends and be like, "Stop worrying about eating or your families or your jobs -- listen to Sophisticated Boom Boom and make yourselves happier!"

I'll think of slightly chiller ways to spread the word. But SheilaB, tonight's show really something else!
