Well, unwind and enjoy the soundz I'm puttin' down!   🥁 ♥ 5:29pm
Jay Current:

↳ Song: "I Got My Mojo Working" by "The Zombies"

It's really impressive in retrospect how quickly so many of these British beat bands expanded into vastly different sounds. 🥁 ♥ 5:30pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @5:29

Agreed, and in a relatively short period of time, too.   🥁 ♥ 5:32pm
Jay Current:

↳ Discotech Underground @5:30

Yeah, beat invaded America in 1964, and even by 1966, you can feel most of the associated bands expanding out into proto-psych and baroque pop influences. 🥁 ♥ 5:34pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @5:32

To sometimes mixed results. The Stones, for instance...they dabbled a bit with it but went back to their roots and regained their mojo with some of their best albums ever. 🥁 ♥ 5:36pm

I love some of the stuff they were exploring with "Between the Buttons" although "Their Satanic Majesties Request" gets a bit too out-there for its own good at times. 🥁 ♥ 5:42pm

Cool 45 that did pretty well! Kinda like "In my Chair" by Status Quo. 🥁 ♥ 6:07pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:05

A pretty underrated band at the time, but thankfully still gets played on places like WFMU! 🥁 ♥ 6:07pm

↳ Song: "Pumped Up" by "Sir Lord Baltimore"

I heard a Screaming Lord Sutch song on WFMU this week, and it reminded me of Sir Lord Baltimore because I always get the two artists' names mixed up.   🥁 ♥ 6:14pm
Jay Current:

↳ WTF_Chuck @6:11

Welcome to the underground portion of today's program. 🥁 ♥ 6:15pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Song: "Pumped Up" by "Sir Lord Baltimore"

Gotta be honest- thought the lyrics were “So F-d up”. I may continue to think that. 🥁 ♥ 6:16pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WTF_Chuck @6:15

Why not? LOL 🥁 ♥ 6:17pm
Frank In Queens: Slaying right now Kip! 🥁 ♥ 6:17pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @6:14

Screaming Lord Baltimore...Sir Lord Such..you could mix and match the two and come up with some cool variations. 🥁 ♥ 6:18pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:17

Mucho thanks....glad you're diggin' it! 🥁 ♥ 6:19pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:17

Just a little something I threw together...😎 🥁 ♥ 6:19pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ Song: "Whatever Life Demands" by "Glass Harp"

I enjoy how the stuff you play that I don't know complements what I do know. 🥁 ♥ 6:20pm
Garrity:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:10

Wifi & network intermittent!
Bummer! 🥁 ♥ 6:21pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:19

That’s one of the great things about Kip’s shows - in many cases, if I do know it, it’s only because he played it a few years ago. 🥁 ♥ 6:21pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:19

Again, thank you! I do try to maintain a vibe and flow with my music sets.   🥁 ♥ 6:21pm
Jay Current:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:17

"Screaming Lord Baltimore" just sounds like a description of how Sir Lord Baltimore sounds. 🥁 ♥ 6:22pm
WLSClark:

↳ Song: "Whatever Life Demands" by "Glass Harp"

Good stuff. Never heard them before. 🥁 ♥ 6:22pm
Garrity:

↳ WLSClark @6:13

Hey, Clark! 🥁 ♥ 6:22pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WTF_Chuck @6:21

Radio is supposed to be about hearing and discovering new things, in my view. So I try to maintain that vibe with this show as best I can. 🥁 ♥ 6:23pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:22

Seriously. If you want to hear stuff you already know, just tune in to your local classic rock station. 🥁 ♥ 6:23pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:22

Cant argue with that philosophy.   6:24pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:19

Hi Doug! 🥁 ♥ 6:24pm
WLSClark:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:23

If presented cleverly with thought out sets, both measures can be good. 🥁 ♥ 6:24pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:22

You certainly do. I miss that about terrestrial college radio of my youth. There are several FMU DJs that I could say the same thing about. Some are here now. 😉 🥁 ♥ 6:25pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:23

That was what drew me to radio when I was kid back in the day, listening to the underground FM stations that would play all sorts of weird, obscure and incredible stuff, especially late at night! That's what I try to do with the second hour of this show and when I do my "After Dark" special programs. 🥁 ♥ 6:25pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ WLSClark @6:24

True, but unless the playlist is massive and the sets are humanly curated, it's usually just the same old same old, day in and day out. 🥁 ♥ 6:26pm
pot8o:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:25

see: the drummer auto dj, which i find really nice 🥁 ♥ 6:26pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:23

I have heard some things I didn't know on your show as well.It's hard for me to catch you live but I do punch you up in the archive, usually when I'm on the road. 🥁 ♥ 6:26pm
pot8o: (is the drummer autostream entirely doug's picks? i know the sheena stream has all of the djs contributing songs for it) 🥁 ♥ 6:27pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ pot8o @6:26

still humanly curated if randomly selected by an algorithm. Same with the Bunny on Rock And Soul. 🥁 ♥ 6:28pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @6:24

Hey, Andrew! 🥁 ♥ 6:28pm
Discotech Underground: The "stream" on Drummer is really diverse. I have heard everything from 40's country, 20's gospel and jazz, all sorts of unusual world music...I'm not sure how it's curated, though. 🥁 ♥ 6:28pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:26

The archives may very well be the best thing about WFMU. There's so many shows I can't listen to in real time, but I don't have to miss a thing ever because of the archives. 🥁 ♥ 6:28pm
pot8o:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:27

oh yeah, i was agreeing with you

all 3 side stream auto djs are human curated and gigantic, which is definitely the reason why they're pretty good

🥁 ♥ 6:29pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ pot8o @6:28

I'd rather listen to the Bunny than Q104.3 any day 🥁 ♥ 6:29pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:28

Me, too. I just blue tooth it into my car system and blast away! It makes the long road trips go by SO much easier when I do an "archive dive while I drive". 🥁 ♥ 6:30pm
Discotech Underground: Commercial, terrestrial radio blows, and honestly, I'm not all that enamored with Sirius XM, either. Even the Underground Garage and Deep Tracks channels are kinda meh, to me, at least. 🥁 ♥ 6:31pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:30

The loss of Drew Carey's Friday Night Freakout has me constantly wondering about keeping SiriusXM. 🥁 ♥ 6:31pm
Frank In Queens:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:30

If it wasn't for Howard Stern, I would not subscribe to Sirius. I have access to all of their content, and I almost never listen to any of it except for the Stern channels. 🥁 ♥ 6:33pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:31

I keep it so I can listen to football when I'm on the road and, believe it or not, I enjoy the American Top 40 countdowns with Casey Kasem on the 70's channel on Saturdays. I listen to NPR on it sometimes, too, but the others I'm not all that fired up about. 🥁 ♥ 6:33pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:30

Agreed. I tried the sxm thing and found that I would still here the same shit over and over even on the channels that seemed like they would have a variety. 🥁 ♥ 6:34pm
Discotech Underground: It seems to me like there are artists that get played on Underground Garage that make me think they paid to get their songs played. That's about the only reason I could think of that they would play certain things as often as they do on there. Plus they play the hell out of Southside Johnny and Graham Parker, who I think are pals of Little Steven...Southside Johnny was NOT that popular back in the day, really. Graham Parker had like one hit... 🥁 ♥ 6:35pm
WLSClark:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:25

Agreed 🥁 ♥ 6:35pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:33

I'm glad you said that, because I also enjoy catching AT40 Saturday at Noon and/or Sunday morning at 9. Hearing everything in its original historical context is worthwhile. 🥁 ♥ 6:36pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WTF_Chuck @6:33

The mainstream channels are monotonous. The Beatles channel is the same rehash over and over. I have found myself switching to the Elvis channel just for something DIFFERENT! 🥁 ♥ 6:36pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:34

Well, guess that’s why we’re all here! This show and FMU, in general! 🥁 ♥ 6:37pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:25

I enjoy your methodology in 45s and then underground. 🥁 ♥ 6:37pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:35

What I like about AT40 is they play the lower charted records, even if they never went anywhere. Sometimes I hear one I had totally forgotten about for like fifty years and then all of a sudden, I'm like OMG! 🥁 ♥ 6:38pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:37

I'm trying to go chronologically...early to middle 60's first with the 45's, gradually working into the "album" era as the show progresses. 🥁 ♥ 6:38pm
Beantown Doug: I'm always trying to relive the vibe I felt in high school, listening to WBCN at night with my first stereo, a Pioneer SX-440 receiver and Pioneer SE-20 headphones. 🥁 ♥ 6:38pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:37

The Top 40 music idea was so great, but everything categorized on radio today. 🥁 ♥ 6:39pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:38

Well, it works. 🥁 ♥ 6:39pm
Beantown Doug: My Realistic MC-1000 speakers cost $100 on sale, equivalent to $800 today! 🥁 ♥ 6:39pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:38

Back then, they would go from BTO to Barry Manilow to Al Green to McCartney/Wings all in the same music set! 🥁 ♥ 6:40pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:36

Exactly!! The Beatles channel was so frustrating. Clearly not meant for long time or actual fans. Probably should be a dozen different Beatles channels to cater to different audiences. Same with other sxm channels, IMHO. Anyhow, I’d rather send money to FMU than them. 🥁 ♥ 6:40pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:39

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words and that you enjoy what I do here. 🥁 ♥ 6:41pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:39

I like it, but I go back to Beatles/Roger Miller/Whitsling jack Smith/Yardbirds/Sonics/Rip Chords etc. Just one great different sound after another. 🥁 ♥ 6:41pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WTF_Chuck @6:40

Plus the Beatles Channel will play these deep tracks from really mediocre solo albums, like George Harrison's "Extra Texture"...like, who actually listens to that album these days?   🥁 ♥ 6:41pm
Jay Current:

↳ Frank In Queens @6:25

We had a classic rock station in my area that would play some special programs on Sundays, like they had a blues show and a sort of deep dive show where they would spend the a whole episode exploring a single artist or a specific year and would play a balance between hits and deeper cuts. I know it was probably syndicated content, but I enjoyed that at the time and would have loved a classic rock station that played a few things like that during the week. Of course that didn't happen though - the same generic rotation of songs for all the rest of the week. 🥁 ♥ 6:41pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:41

BUT the textured cover is cool! haha   6:42pm
wilbur:

↳ Song: "Analogy" by "Analogy"

Analagous to the Who meets Grand Funk RR., with some nudity! 🥁 ♥ 6:42pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @6:41

There was a top 40 station by me when I was growing up that did that...A Sunday night deep tracks show, followed by the King Biscuit Flower Hour. Of course it was sponsored by a local stereo store. I heard so much amazing stuff on that show. But any other time, top 40 crap. 🥁 ♥ 6:44pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:42

Late 60s AM late night top 40 stations had great underground shows. WBZ & WKYC both plus FM stations of course. 🥁 ♥ 6:45pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ WLSClark @6:44

WKBW in Buffalo came in well at night. They fully embraced the "Paul is Dead" fad. 🥁 ♥ 6:46pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:44

In the 60' and through the middle 70's, the AM's were the money makers and the FM's were an afterthought, which is why the DJ's could play whatever they wanted because management didn't care. I have hours and hours, literally, of unscoped WKNR-FM and it's such a contrast from the top 40 AM. Have you ever heard any recordings of a program called "Spoke" that aired on WLS-FM in the late 1960's? Same sort of thing. 🥁 ♥ 6:46pm
Alex from Media: Just gonna pipe in and say that WFMU GTDR stream has single handedly obsoleted terrestrial radio for me. Never saw satellite radio as just a different set of tunes on repeat from terrestrial radio, not really an improvement. Bless all WFMU DJs and bless you Kip! 🥁 ♥ 6:46pm
WTF_Chuck:

↳ Beantown Doug @6:45

Ha. Thankfully, they’re still wrong! 🥁 ♥ 6:47pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Alex from Media @6:46

Thanks, Alex!   🥁 ♥ 6:49pm
Jay Current:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:30

From what I've heard, XM satellite radio used to be really good early on and started going to crap when the Sirius merger happened. 🥁 ♥ 6:51pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @6:49

That's pretty much the case. I had XM on my cable TV and I would listen to their "deep tracks" channel at night at it was really good, but then when the merger happened, it totally tanked. They let the consultants take over and consultants are what fucked up radio, pure and simple. I know this from working in the industry when it started happening. 🥁 ♥ 6:51pm
Discotech Underground: Consultants are proof the dead walk the earth... 🥁 ♥ 6:52pm
WLSClark:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:46

Yes, Spoke was cool, but I think automated odd sounding DJ. WKNR AM was fabulous in 60s. 31 hits that changed on chart every 4 weeks. Played GREAT oddities!   🥁 ♥ 6:52pm
Jay Current:

↳ Discotech Underground @6:34

I don't think I've ever heard Southside Johnny or Graham Parker played on terrestrial radio on my area. I do like Parker's "Squeezing Out Sparks" LP though. 🥁 ♥ 6:53pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ WLSClark @6:52

Keener AM played local artists, and broke records nationally sometimes. They held their own against CKLW for a long time! 6:54pm
Flash Strap: Hiya Kip! hi gang! 🥁 ♥ 6:54pm
Discotech Underground:

↳ Jay Current @6:52

UG plays Southside Johnny ALL the damn time. He's a Springsteen clone, basically. Not anything I care for. 🥁 ♥ 6:54pm
WLSClark: I was at first a fan of 2 or 3 in a row in 67/8 on AM, but it took DJs out of the loop for creativity which made me start to turn on the Boss format, as the playlists suddenly shortened from up to 100 in early 60s. 🥁 ♥ 6:55pm

CKLW was a good example of 30 songs format of 40% soul and 60% other--but only 1 or 2 not national hits, usually. KNR was all over the place.   🥁 ♥ 6:55pm
