🎸 ♥ 8:56am
ultradamno: Fab! Funkees and Funkettes of the great outdoors! David!

Brian Tucker....they really didn't need to specify Florida man, that was self evident

  8:56am
Charles: The good news is that they'll now have a tiki bar in that detention center. ♥ 9:02am
Mr Fab: 'Morning, y'all!

David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @9:02

Mr Fab: I heard that ? & The Mysterians big hit was orig called "69 Tears." They made em change the title. But none of these other guys did..? ♥ 9:07am
MHLee: Been a lot of garage here the last hour or so ♥ 9:08am
Mr Fab:

↳ David The Splatter @9:05

I like his expression. Doesn't seem too remorseful. ♥ 9:09am
Mr Fab:

↳ MHLee @9:07

Jay Current:

↳ ultradamno @9:10

Allegedly, the Count Basie Orchestra's jazz standard "One O'Clock Jump" was titled "Blue Ball" until a radio announcer at a station they were playing refused to say the name on broadcast. ♥ 9:13am
Mr Fab:

↳ JoeH @9:10

Hey Joe! Yeah, gravity really gets me down.. 🎸 ♥ 9:14am
ultradamno: ...and then there were all the original lyrics to Tutti Frutti ♥ 9:17am
Mr Fab:

↳ Jay Current @9:13

Hey jay!
Well, "Ball" was singular. Kinda says more about the announcer than Count Basie. 🎸 ♥ 9:18am
ultradamno: Whereas Afternoon Delight just went straight onto Casey Kasem's countdown ♥ 9:20am
MHLee:

↳ Mr Fab @9:09

↳ MHLee @9:20

Ah!
Hope you don't have to move too far? 🎸 ♥ 9:23am

↳ Song: "Studio 69" by "Alan Hawkshaw"

I thought this song was called "Blarney Stoned" or "Dave Allan at Large".   🎸 ♥ 9:24am
Jay Current:

↳ ultradamno @9:18

The Starlight Vocal Band were far too whitebread to draw any suspicions. 🎸 ♥ 9:25am

David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @9:26

420? 🎸 ♥ 9:29am
ultradamno: Seems like '80s had a good run, people liked to announce that was when they were living ♥ 9:30am
Mr Fab:

↳ Olleh @9:28

The Four Mamas would then get sued by the Mamas & The Papas, so no.. 🎸 ♥ 9:36am

In my day we never had rampant litigation where the the Mom & Pops were concerned! ♥ 9:37am
Mr Fab:

↳ Jay Current @9:24

↳ Mr Fab @9:37

Not even in Sammy Johns' chevy van....that's alright with me... 🎸 ♥ 9:45am

Who sang this originally? I swear its a cover. ♥ 9:46am
Mr Fab:

↳ ultradamno @9:42

oof! THAT one... Supposedly Rod Stewart refuses to retire "Tonight's The Night." Hey, "my virgin child" is just an expression! She could be 40 for all we know! 🎸 ♥ 9:47am
ultradamno: Did you tell Tacky about the sixtynine theme? And he came up with nothing? ♥ 9:52am
Mr Fab:

↳ ultradamno @9:47

I didn't tell him! I sent him out to buy some rum. That'll keep him occupied for hours.. 🎸 ♥ 9:54am
ultradamno:

↳ Mr Fab @9:46

Ever hear the song James Marsters (Spike on Buffy) wrote about Michelle Trachtenberg's (Dawn on Buffy) crush on him? "But I notice you/With your long brown hair/Pretty little feet/Sparkling everywhere" www.syfy.com... 🎸 ♥ 9:56am
Olleh: What no Arondies famous instro 69? They were from Picksburgh and every kid with a Christmas present Sears Silvertone geetar learned learned from every other kid with a Sears geetar. ♥ 10:01am
Mr Fab:

↳ ultradamno @9:54

I'm sure he was referring to the band Little Feat.
that's the story I'd stick with. 🎸 ♥ 10:02am
ultradamno: If I ever go to a dive bar and they're playing Lesbian Seagull....I'm going to become a regular.... ♥ 10:02am
Mr Fab:

↳ Olleh @9:56

I may have! Perhaps the Vaqueros instrumental I played earlier was a cover? ♥ 10:06am
MHLee: This is what that first Sadies album sounds like a lot of the time ♥ 10:10am
Mr Fab:

↳ MHLee @10:06

Is it instrumental?
I have various Sadies-related albums (backing Andre Williams, John Doe, soundtracks) but don't really have a solid handle on their career. 🎸 ♥ 10:12am

The hobo king! ♥ 10:14am
Mr Fab: This Southwestern desert stuff reminds me that the town of Primm is going under. Let WFMU take it over! We'll turn it into some kinda kooky artist colony or sumthin. We know all the cool bands! ♥ 10:14am
MHLee:

↳ Mr Fab @10:10

It has interludes between Western songs like Ain't Nothing to Me... ♥ 10:15am

Olleh: For ne a little Partch goes a long way. I love his concept and design   10:20am
Feldy: Good morning Mr Fab! 🎸 ♥ 10:21am

Thanks for playing Harry Partch, Mr Fab—and I agree about Barstow, such a limininal town 🎸 ♥ 10:24am
David The Splatter: Somewhere near Barstow is a place you go when you need the drugs to take hold. 🎸 ♥ 10:25am
ultradamno: quartzmountain.org... ♥ 10:25am
Hunterian:

↳ David The Splatter @10:24

That is indeed its claim to fame, at least in my world ♥ 10:25am
Mr Fab: Feldy! My Southwestern sounds summoned you! Are there any good songs about Phoenix? apart from "By The Time I get To.. " which isn't really about Phoenix. 🎸 ♥ 10:26am
ultradamno: Austin Rich has a number of great Partch themed Mid-Valley Mutations in the archives ♥ 10:26am

ultradamno:

↳ ultradamno @10:26

Speaking of his show, the subject of one of his recent special eps Point Line Plane just dropped a release pointlineplane.bandcamp.com... and I expect by now everyone's heard about this archival Cramps album Ian Mackaye and Henry Rollins have cooked up thecramps.bandcamp.com... 🎸 ♥ 10:31am
David The Splatter:

↳ ultradamno @10:30

I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it on FMU in the last few days. 🎸 ♥ 10:32am
ultradamno:

↳ Song: "Frankenstein Is A Soul Brother" by "Dr Shock"

I'm guessing there's legal concern keeping him from just saying Blackenstein   🎸 ♥ 10:34am
Jay Current:

↳ Song: "Pray For Rosemary's Baby" by "Chuck Stephens"

This isn't too far from some Funkadelic tracks I've heard. 🎸 ♥ 10:34am
ultradamno:

↳ David The Splatter @10:31

I was hipped to it by Alex Kish, who says he's reached out for a digital track to play on the show (the BC page briefly allowed for downloading the whole thing, but they've pulled that back) ♥ 10:35am
Mr Fab:

↳ David The Splatter @10:31

hope the "new" Cramps makes it to the WFMU "New Adds" (digital) bin. Imma get my hands on it one way or another. ♥ 10:36am
Hunterian:

↳ Mr Fab @10:35

I'm not seeing any digital tracks released yet 🎸 ♥ 10:37am

ultradamno: Vengeance has made the version of TV Set from it available on you tube (why you can't play even that on Bandcamp is unclear, they may be figuring out the platform) www.youtube.com... ♥ 10:38am
Mr Fab:

↳ Hunterian @10:36

Hmm, "TV Set" was available the other day... ♥ 10:40am
Hunterian:

  🎸 ♥ 10:47am
Jay Current:

↳ Song: "Blue Rondo a la Turk" by "Robert Lafond"

This really drives home how similar the Final Fantasy VII battle theme sounds to "Blue Rondo a la Turk." ♥ 10:48am
Mr Fab:

↳ Jan Turkenburg @10:45

Quack quack, Jan! 🎸 ♥ 10:48am
ultradamno:

↳ ultradamno @10:47

I still think 'Alive In Person Dracula' is offensive to undead americans, not to mention transylvanians 🎸 ♥ 10:50am
David The Splatter:

↳ ultradamno @10:48

A lot of Undead-phobics out there. ♥ 10:51am
Mr Fab:

↳ ultradamno @10:48

Dracula alive is a confusing concept. Like, before he got bit and was still just a regular guy? 🎸 ♥ 10:56am
David The Splatter:

↳ Song: "Aloha, and remember...ALWAYS...Be Fabulous!!"

Thanks for the Friday kickoff, as always. Have a great weekend! ♥ 10:57am

well now I gotta find a Beatles karaoke track to sing that.. 🎸 ♥ 10:24am
Olleh: Yeah! Fripp featured the one on Exposure. I was surprised too. Speaking of Exposure, he was on his Frippatronic tour of record stores. He signed my copy and it made me laugh out loud: the signature was exactly the same as on the album cover, and same size! Later he went to one our local music venues where a local punk band was playing- and he was dancing! Imagine this!
