Is the Phil Ochs film any good? There but for fortune? my library in Bayonne had it but I took out Juno instead 11:05am

↳ Song: "The Flower Lady" by "Phil Ochs"

It's difficult for me to hear Phil Ochs's voice without tearing up a little. 11:08am

Bob Brainen:

Dylan was used to his toadies telling him everything he did was great. He wasn't prepared to hear anything otherwise, 11:14am
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Song: "I Want To Be Ready" by "Fisk University Jubilee Q...

This sounds as bad as Blind Willie Mctell! 11:14am

(Mr) Bill:

↳ Bob Brainen @11:08

If I get a redo of my life, I'll be sure to learn about WFMU in time to listen to Sonny Ochs's show. I found an article about her from 2017 on a Hudson Valley news site. Unlike her Wikipedia page, it mentions the FMU show.   11:20am

I saw a male Cardinal this week.
He was magnificent. 11:24am
Bob Brainen: If we get a redo, (Mr) Bill, are we completely unaware of our first time through? ♥ 11:25am
Roberto:

↳ (Mr) Bill @11:19

My flaky college friend met her at some event in the '80s and didn't have the money to pay for her book, so she gave it to him with the promise he'd send her the money later. Knowing him, he never did send her the money.   11:25am
Oleh from Pittsburgh: Howdy Andrew 11:26am
Bob Brainen: Hey, Roberto, good for Sonny, boo to your flaky friend. ♥ 11:27am

Bob doing the power pop thing with funky electric guitar! ♥ 11:28am
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Bob Brainen @11:24

Maybe, maybe not. Probably all we can do in this life is to try to make the next one better, just in case it happens.   11:28am
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Bob Brainen @11:26

How are your cats, Bob? 11:28am
JoeChrisMorris: Hello and welcome to Car Talk

Hope all are doing well

♥ 11:29am
Roberto:

↳ Roberto @11:27

Of course, I mostly jest. She was never "my girl" anywhere but in my delusional head. ♥ 11:29am
Roberto:

↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:28

I think you mean Cat Talk! 11:30am
JoeChrisMorris: My feeling is its crucial to love life more than the meaning of it, but Dostoyevsky already said that 11:30am
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Roberto @11:29

Oh sure, Brainen Cats and Dogs they tell me ♥ 11:31am
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:23

Thanks to my wife's expertise in bird feeders, we often see them in the backyard. They are glorious creatures.   11:31am

They are. ♥ 11:32am

↳ Roberto @11:29

He was, however, undeniably flaky. ♥ 11:34am
Roberto:

↳ Roberto @11:32

I ain't mad. ♥ 11:35am
Gina Bacon: Fun fact: The Fisk Jubilee Singers are the reason Nashville is called Music City, thanks to Queen Victoria! They performed for her in 1873, and she said they must be from a "music city". It stuck! ♥ 11:37am
Roberto:

↳ Gina Bacon @11:35

Holy fuck, that is a helluva origin story! 11:37am
Bob Brainen:

WTF?! ♥ 11:42am
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:31

As much as I enjoy watching the redbirds in my yard, the #1 male Cardinal in my lifetime is still Stan Musial. 11:43am
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Song: "Chinh Phu Ngâm" by "Miss Thong"

The guitars kind of reminding me of Jandek 11:43am

It is! 11:46am
Bob Brainen:

Glad you dig, Olleh. This comp. is filled with great stuff. It's been awhile since I listened to it.   11:46am
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ (Mr) Bill @11:42

I agree!
He was a great man!
I once, unknowingly, sat behind him at an exhibition baseball game.   11:47am
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:44

He was too nice a guy. ♥ 11:49am
(Mr) Bill:

↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:44

Ted Williams was a failed manager with the Washington Senators. I don't recall Musial's managing a major-league team.   11:53am
Oleh from Pittsburgh: Bob, same with me! It is a really fun comp 11:54am
Bob Brainen:

JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Song: "Who Do You Love" by "The Sapphires"

good hook on piano, cool bass.. its a hit   12:05pm
Oleh from Pittsburgh: Bob, I had the same thought. I had searched some time ago but found no subsequent volumes. The Canary label on Bandcamp should fill the gap and compile air checks and performances, but has not as yet. Sadly, seemed like a one time deal with that cd comp. In my thrifting, I’ve found some Barton Brothers & Yiddish comedy comps. I’ll be playing stuff from them on an upcoming show. Fun stuff. ♥ 12:10pm
Roberto:

A definitive counterexample to the proposition "Toxic masculinity never makes for a good song." 12:29pm
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Song: "Sweet Desire" by "Family"

No relation to the Children of God!

Though now called the Family

Dave Mason (RIP) produced them, they played on his "Little Woman" single

Hows Jack Bruce solo? 12:32pm
JoeChrisMorris: Good B side of Fleetwood Mac! 12:33pm
JoeChrisMorris: "Someones gonna get their head kicked in tonight" only has a few chords

My favorite Jeremy Spencer..not playing that Elmore James riff to death, thankfully

12:35pm
JoeChrisMorris: Jeremy played with the Children of God in the 70s (album called Flee

His first solo album (Jeremy Spencer) from 1969 is good. Peter Green plays banjo on a track (String a long)

Came out with Then play on

↳ Song: "Smothered Soul" by "Hank Marr"

Cool to hear pre-harmelodic Blood Ulmer, I haven't up until now! (He did already tend to short bursts of melody/riff/sound) 1:18pm
Bob Brainen:

↳ doctorjazz @1:13

yeah, short bursts, and very staccato. ♥ 1:18pm
(Mr) Bill:

Spending today watching "Juno" with commentary

1:31pm
JoeChrisMorris:

Oh this sounds interesting 1:32pm
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:40

Just saw the actor who played Sean in Degrassi in the film Juno (blink for a minute and you'll miss Daniel Clark! 1:33pm
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ Song: "Rakin' And Scrapin'" by "Big John Patton"

Good jam this between the guitar and keyboard

Even catchier than the Pink Floyd (sound) doing Interstellar Overdrive live even!

  1:35pm
SecretSquirrel: I’d heard Blood switched up his style after his hero Wes Montgomery snubbed him. This John Patton track must’ve been before that 🥁 ♥ 1:39pm
duke: Got here late. This is a great set. ♥ 1:44pm
doctorjazz:

↳ Song: "Rakin' And Scrapin'" by "Big John Patton"

To my (non-expert) ears, this early Blood sounds more like George Benson than Wes Montgomery. Montgomery was known for his octaves, smooth sound (because of hitting strings with his thumb rather than a pick), and long lines. ♥ 1:46pm
doctorjazz:

↳ doctorjazz @1:44

(Which doesn't mean he didn't love Wes' style, but I don't hear him trying to sound like him). ♥ 1:47pm
doctorjazz:

↳ Song: "Sittin' On Top Of The World" by "James Blood Ulme...

Cool version, never heard it (I have most of the Ulmer albums, at least the early ones) 1:48pm
JoeChrisMorris:

Weird shit! intro reminded me a little of Totos "Africa (later covered by Weezer Weird Al ♥ 1:50pm
doctorjazz: Great tribute, dug the show, thanks Bob! 1:50pm
JoeChrisMorris:

↳ doctorjazz @1:44

Only George Benson I know is that pointless Other Side of Abbey Road album   1:52pm
