Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from January 21, 2024 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.

Never really thought about this before now ... "Around the same time the song came out, the expression "ballin' the jack" was used by railroad workers to mean "going at full speed." 'The 'Jack' was the slang name for a railroad locomotive, and balling meant going at high speed, itself derived from the ball type of railroad signal in which a high ball meant a clear line"

The show was quite enjoyable, but more mainstream than the fare we get here. Young pianist Jordan Williams impressed me in particular.

I hear in Moran a sympathy with Branford. Always bumping into and across expectations. Frankly, I'm a fan of artists who mash up conservatism with experimentation.

I did gather as much. I'm a librarian, professionally and in many respects personally. We are all about being affirmatively conservative, but also eager to spread out and learn new practices.

@doctorj, I can send you a file of my collected WFMU comments. That way you can review them from time to time and keep them at the front of your mind. Jeff saw Moran's show in the city and felt much as I did, if I remember correctly.

That said, if you’re actually there, no harm in spending 10 min checking them out. Maybe you’ll like it more than I did.

Puppy keeping me in the house; was here for Jeff's show, for Stork, DJGG, Julie, now DJ Peter. What'll I listen to at work tomorrow? (Joe McGasco won't be bad, mostly miss him catching up with the Sunday shows on the Drummer Stream).

It takes two guitars to try to get to Sharrock territory

Tim Berne’s sound here seems different from his usual! Style is the same though. This album sounds great!
