Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from October 8, 2023 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Here's a excerpt from Gary Carner's brand new bio of Pepper Adams, focusing on his Detroit years (late 40s through mid-50s), ages 18-25 or so.

I probably won't know until the adjuster and collision folks look at it. From the outsidel, the front bumper was ripped off (still attached, but deformed). But who knows what happened underneath (axle, etc). Nothing happens on Sunday, will need to tow to a shop tomorrow, see what happens then. At least I got a rental car today.

Here's something funny: yesterday I went to Down Home Records, picked up a bunch of inexpensive LPs. I was wearing a WFMU t-shirt, and the woman working the register asked about it. About an hour later, after I'd left, Gary showed up and picked up a bunch of cassettes with foreign music. I don't think the woman at the register is aware of the remarkable coincidence.
