Morning Doug:
Shall we expect an Eddy Arnold set at some point during the show?
Fri. 5/9/08 9:28am
From:

VIv, That would be a reasonable thing to expect -- but no! No memorials today. Just didn't feel it. No disrespects to Mr. Arnold, of course.

Doug, thanks for that Screaming Jay Hawkins cut. He's so often put on display as a kind of freak -- he had some part in this -- it's refreshing to see someone remember his other sides.

Yes, the BAG and the HAE are definitely cool. Didn't the Unheard Music series on Atavistic rerelase the Funky Donkey album recently?

I am personally looking forward to some ear-shredding, adrenalin-pumping, spirit-lifting FIRE MUSIC.

Doug, don't know if something like Arthur Russell's world of Echo fits into your universe here (I think it should), but there is a lot of renewed interest in AR at the moment - a new documentary film is screening @ the kitchen, and the Kitchen itself is having some mini weekend retrospective of russell, etc.
Fri. 5/9/08 11:19am

Nice set of songer-songwriters there. Maybe we'll have some of my faves from the old days: Roy Harper and Kevin Coyne. Not yer average English gentlemen!

Jim,
I am a late but devoted convert to the Church of Russell. How perfect is it that the documentary is premiering at The Kitchen. I guess the Mudd Club wasn't available,

Ah, so that's where Dave Mandl got his show title!
Fri. 5/9/08 11:31am
From:
Hugo
Always fine to hear some South-African on the show. I was listening last night to Johnny Mbizo Dyani's "Grandmother's Teaching" where he got to demonstrate his considerable talents as a very expressive vocalist on the title track! Stirring!

Listener Dave from NH
The tough part about Arthur Russell (for me) can be figuring out all the aliases that he recorded under. I was listening to Dinky's Resident Advisor podcast from a month or so ago and thinking that the track by Indian Ocean that opened up the mix sounded a heck of a lot like Arthur Russell and, sure enough, it was him.

maybe its the coffeeeee, but this could be the best set ever?

what was that phone recording? was that real?
Fri. 5/9/08 11:45am
From:
Doug
I'm guessing that the phone call bit was a parody presented on some "morning zoo" type radio show in South Africa. Despite the hilarity, the subject matter is devastating.
We all have the exalted Listener Hugo to thank for sending that one in (too).

Doug (or anyone else),
Have you checked out one of the other Benin-specific afro-funk comps ("Kings of Urban Groove" or something like that)? Does it sound like this? If so, I gotta check that too . . .

Thanks Doug! I got my grubby little hands on that Savannah Churchill download!

Are you talking about the T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo "Kings of Benin"? FANTASTIC!!

Crap, I wanted that African Scream Contest track to last the rest of the day. Thanks for another great show Doug.

From:

Damn, I missed the African scream contest. That's what I get for going to the bathroom and spending time sabotaging the building maintenance Nazis' attempts to keep the bathroom doors locked at all times for no reason whatsoever. (There's already too much security for any bums to get in.)
Fri. 5/9/08 12:05pm
From:
Hugo
Yeah, the T.P. Polyrythmo comp is also out on the Soundway label (with the Nigeria comps).
As for the fake phone call, I got it from a colleague who got it from an acquaintance in Mozambique who got it from ... you know the story ...
