Playlist for John Allen - March 11, 2009

Wednesdays 6am - 9am (Web-only) on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."

XYME was the first song Jimmy Maravel gave me to learn when I joined his band as a guitarist for SHOW OF HANDS in the 80s. He and his brother Lee (who later joined the band after leaving his own Gabriel-esque band, INTUITION, were completely unique. So sorry they both left this world much, much too soon. Can you send me an MP3? I have it on cassette somewhere but...

I lived in Chelsea in a loft building with Jimmy and Lee. I dated their sister Dina at the time. My God what happened to them? Is their brother Gene still around and what happened to Dina? I really hope she's ok. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Tue. 11/17/09 9:14am From: Susan

Hey, Tom Hart. I may have met you at one of the parties they had in that loft. I went out with Lee when we were young, 19 or 20, and bumped into him throughout the years. I think he may have died from hepatits, sometime within the past three years and I know he left behind a young son. I think Jimmy died a year or two before Lee but I'm not sure. I wish I could find Dina too. Seems like she suffered a lot of loss in a short period of time. If you find out, please leave a note here and I will check back.
