Hi Irene,
The sun is shining, the beers are in the fridge and three hours of great music, happy days.
  12:05pm
northguineahills:

Galaxy is so amazing!
  12:09pm

It's a great riff. I expect to hear Don Cherry humming it in the background...
  12:11pm
kat330:

Hi, Irene!

@Sean: Same here, Sean, except it's wine in the fridge and several hours off to imbibe.
  12:15pm

Hello Irene, Hello Sean! Hello Kat!
Well don't you all have a lovely evening planned!
Enjoying the show and yes it is so lovely and sunny in Bristol today.

A fellow Bristolian tuning in, how cool is that!
  12:29pm

Tim Buckley ... nice. I enjoy his "Lorca" album a lot.
  12:31pm
kat330:

Back from kitchen: Yes, Tim Buckley' awesome. Like Irene's playlists.
  12:32pm
Clay:

Good hearing you Irene. Easing us into the week.
  12:33pm
kat330:

Hi, Nici, and how Nice two Bristols stomping here! Have yet to meet a fellow Knob Knee-an here.
  12:33pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

This track is beautiful
  12:33pm
v k:

'easing us into the week' indeed; thank you for the much needed calm
  12:34pm
kat330:

Hey, Pidgester!

Sending a Happy 60th B'day shoutout to fellow Hoosier, John Hiatt!
  12:34pm
Clay:

I have always hoped for a Mahavishnu reunion. John. Billy, Jan, Jerry, and Rick.
  12:36pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

@ Clay, great show a fortnight ago
  12:36pm
Clay:

Hi Kat! Also the birthday of Robert Plant and Al Roker.
  12:37pm
kat330:

Any milestones among them though?
  12:39pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hello Irene!
Hi kat, Van, Sean, NGH, BSI, Nici, Zal, vk and everybody!

And hi Clay! (So, if you had your records handy, which song would you play for Robert Plant's birthday? ;)
  12:40pm
Van in DC:

Hiya Matt!
  12:40pm
kat330:

Hi, Matthew! :)

Hiatt's not only a fellow Hoosier, he's a fellow sexy-genarian now. ;)
  12:42pm
Clay:

TY Sean.
@Matt - Over The Hills and Far Away
  12:44pm
kat330:

City crickets? We have a really ramped up locust chorus going on here and now. Every August. Along with the yippy flying Pekingnese (migrating geese) and the silent, but ever so sweet, hummingbirds.
  12:45pm
Matt from Springfield:

Fantastic acoustic guitaring ("Many times I've wondered / how much there is to know...")
  12:47pm
Pauly:

The loud flutteration of the large cockroach's wings as they lift off from the black trash bags on 27th St. has a certain urban charm.
  12:49pm
kat330:

@Pauly: No rodent squeaks for punctuation?
  12:49pm
Bob in Miami:

Hi Irene,just checkin in from sunny Miami.Hope i'm not to late for the flight. Happy Monday...
  12:50pm
Mike East:

Good Monday afternoon, fmu friends.
  12:51pm
Matt from Springfield:

Oooh, what kind of organ is this? Sounds just like a 70s recording, that organ type can be heard a lot from that decade.
  12:51pm
Van in DC:

Beautiful track
  12:52pm
Pauly:

The barely audible squeaking of the brown mice in the subway stands in stark relief to the hellish squeaking of train brakes, as the R rolls into 23rd Street. Outside, the last red-tailed hawk dips low to grab a rat, and all seems right in the world.
  12:55pm
kat330:

Waxing poetic, Pauly -- nice! Nature outside and Irene's lovely soundscape within are working that way on me, too. Also helped seeing "Beasts of the Southern Wild" over the weekend.
  12:55pm
v k:

this is the song Sigur Ros opened with in Brooklyn in July; set the tone the band carried for 2 hours, and a truly magical evening i will never forget here; entire show here http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/2012/aug/01/sigur-ros-live-celebrate-brooklyn/
  12:55pm
hamburger:

omg - are sigur ros cheating or something? too much awesome for this simple stuff... :)
  12:56pm
kat330:

Oh, hey, Mike! A movie mention and I hadn't noticed you were here yet!
  12:56pm
Mike East:

@kat330 - how was it?
  12:57pm
kat330:

Thanks, v k! Mr. Rós does seem to open up a world from behind the veil.
  12:57pm
BSI:

Much city crickets here (DC) as well. My dog (rather large beefy boxer) has become quite the enthusiastic cricket-hunter. Walking him at night, he hears 'em in the narrow grass along the sidewalk. ... he calculates where they must be...... carefully..... then rears up and PUNCHES the ground with front paws. It's the funniest damned thing I've ever seen. He's a cricket-puncher.
  12:57pm
Kimball Hammond:

I hear "Yes' a bit in Sigur Ros, or maybe just Jon Anderson.

  12:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Happy Monday Mike!
(Wow, a lot of people here are in the Happy Mondays... :)
  12:59pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

Hey Matt
  12:59pm
kat330:

@Mike: Oh, wow, I knew this moment was coming and still I'm unprepared. Let me think on it a bit.
  1:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

@BSI: Does the dog only punch the crickets, or does he toss them away afterward? A cricket hurler!
  1:00pm
Alan Cynic:

Very lovely show, as always! I bought the new Bill Fay one this morning :)
  1:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

Hi Sean. Glad to see you're having nice weather--here, outside of Washington DC, it's literally half-sunny and half-overcast, depending on which direction of sky you're looking! Who knows which will prevail...
  1:03pm
BSI:

@Matt: no hurling, alas. It's just PUNCH (hard), wait, and satisfied at the silence of no-crickets, will trot away, totally satisfied...
  1:11pm
Mike East:

@kat330 - don't strain - a simple recommended or not recommended is always sufficient. :)
  1:12pm
kat330:

BotSW@Mike: There was a feel of Herzog in the pace and the parts that captivated. I was a bit bothered by the shaky shoulder-cam throughout, but Philo wasn't. Sort of a fable, but more a rite of very real passage as experienced through the mind and senses of a fierce six-year-old. The actress was all she's been touted to be. Yes, I recommend it, Mike, but perhaps my hopes had been too high.

NOW, you tell me! :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm
Irene:

Thanks for all the cricket comments! They sing in the daytime from all kinds of places. I live not far from Central Park in NYC and hear 'em a lot now. My background crickets were recorded in Morristown, NJ, sitting on Washington Valley Road on a hillside late one summer evening as the sun was setting. Nice to throw into the musical mix every so often.
  1:15pm
kat330:

Ah, the Pastorius evocation once again. Thanks, Irene!
  1:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

Wonderful, didn't know you recorded your own cricket sounds! How serene to be listening to that on a summer's dusk, and to look at that serene imagery as well!
  1:22pm
Mike East:

I recorded some cricket sounds at my house a few weeks ago...there's some other bugs that might not be crickets that communicate in 2 and 3 click bursts in arhythmic patterns that make a cacophonous symphony which either soothes me, or keeps me awake, depending on my mood.
  1:23pm
kat330:

Mike, probably katydids or tree frogs.
  1:24pm
Mike East:

@kat330 - I think all of the above. Its so damn loud.
  1:25pm
kat330:

I love the scritching katydid songs, especially when there's a call and response from different trees in a syncopated stereo sequence.

So did I sell the Beasts to you?
  1:27pm
Van in DC:

Very pleasant ♫♫♫ today indeed - thanks Irene
  1:28pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

Perfect
  1:29pm
Mike East:

@kat330 - yes, I will watch it..though doubt I will catch it in the theater. NY'er review had me interested, you put me over the edge. - and yes, what you describe sounds like what I hear. I often sing along with them to join in the song.
  1:34pm
kat330:

BTW, I didn't spend all that long while writing that "review" -- I was also finishing up lunch and in the kitchen. So no strain. :)
  1:38pm
Mike East:

I hope you enjoyed your lunch.
  1:44pm
kat330:

Awesome TLT sandwich, yep. [t=turkey] So few of our garden tomatoes made it through this drought though. Barely enough for us and usually I'm giving bagfuls to the neighbors around now.
  1:53pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

Loved the Jenny Scheinman track, just settling down for dinner, Fish and Chips tonight!
  1:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

A virtual country getaway! Delivered most unusually from the middle of Jersey City, to the center of your weekday!
  1:56pm
Mike East:

I fried up some fish last night, though instead of chips, I have rice n beans with it for dinner. I do have some chips (which I think you'd call crisps) with my sandwich for lunch today, though.
  2:09pm
Bob in Miami:

Nice segue Irene,love Hartford especially this LP w "Hey babe wanna Boogie & Turn your radio on.
Great show!!
  2:16pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

Loved the track you played last week from The Becca Stevens Band, this track is just bees-knees, magnificent.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:18pm
Irene:

Thanks Bob! David Bromberg produced that John Hartford album, also an old fave of mine. And glad you like the Becca Stevens track. They're all lovely like that one.
  2:18pm
kat330:

Damn, missed several tracks there while on the phone with a suit [banker, to be precise]. Where does the time for archives come from? :|
  2:19pm
don:

Pat Sky-excellent. Just saw 71 year old Tom Rush who still sings beautifully and strong and tells great anecdotes. Tom introduced us all to Joni, Jackson and James, all now recognizable by their 1st names..
  2:20pm
kat330:

@don: Tom, yes! His cover of Urge for Going surpasses Joni's version, IMO -- that's a rarity.
  2:22pm
don:

@kat330-Tom covered that last week @ Turning Point Piermont and as beautifully as ever.
  2:22pm
kat330:

Ah, and here's our local "Prince."
  2:22pm
v k:

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - kudos - his video to "I See a Darkness" is fantastic - such an interesting guy - such versatility
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:25pm
Irene:

Kat, the time is linked to when I post the song title in the playlist. Sometimes it's a bit off, so check out the song before where you left off. The archive will be posted a little while after the show.
  2:28pm
kat330:

Oh, thanks, Irene! But I meant "the time" in the general sense of "where does the time go?" and how can we take out a loan for more of it! :)
  2:28pm
v k:

"I See a Darkness" official video - is it possible to not laugh at Bonnie "Prince" Billy's dancing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-xSxWX7_-4 (as with Sigur Ros link, check out after Irene's show - not trying to create competition)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:34pm
Irene:

Kat, if you could find a way to get a loan of time for me it would make life so much easier!
  2:35pm
kat330:

Or a clone of oneself.
  2:37pm
Parq:

Vividly remember "Flute Thing" from Boston radio in the mid 70s, but don't think I could have correctly named Seatrain as the band. Another track of theirs was also really big on that scene, a somewhat extended retelling of the story of Job.
  2:37pm
Bob in Miami:

Wow,never knew Seatrain covered this. Saw The Blues Project play this live at Newport (66). I think the Beasties sampled it as well??
  2:37pm
Steve in Tulsa:

This song provides the base sample to a great Beastie Boys track, "Flute Loop."
  2:38pm
Kimball Hammond:

Wasn't McCartney's brother in Seatrain? Mike MCGear? Hmm. I refuse to Google it.
  2:38pm
Van in DC:

Really liking Flute Thing! :)
  2:38pm
kat330:

Guess New England's the place, the 60s-70s the time. I saw Seatrain live at Brown U. in Providence, April 1970.
  2:39pm
Parq:

Ah, thanks Bob in Miami -- the reason i didn't remember Seatrain doing this was, it wasn't originally theirs.
  2:40pm
Manalishi:

Would have loved to have seen Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac in the NE back then.
  2:40pm
Bob in Miami:

Mike McGear was in The Scaffold. Seatrain had ex members of the Blues Project. The Beasties sampled the Blues Project "Electric flute Thing off their LP Projections.
  2:41pm
Manalishi:

TY Bob. Say hello to Saigon Kick!
  2:43pm
Bob in Miami:

TY Manalishi,i'm still in touch w Matt Will send regards..
  2:47pm
Davice:

Hi Irene - Great show today . . . very suitable for a Monday afternoon at work. What is the piece you are using as bed music?
  2:49pm
Van in DC:

Ah, just hit me that that was Matt Munisteri who you had on a few weeks ago (working away and not paying attention too much ;) )
  2:54pm
Matt from Springfield:

Nice Mike Nesmith! Something sounded familiar, and 60s like about this song!
  2:56pm
kat330:

Thank you for an afternoon of gentle loveliness, Irene! Good rest of your days, everyone!

Ha, Sebastian! Another at that 1970 Brown Spring Weekend. Good times remembered.
  2:57pm
Parq:

Irene, you're killing me with nostalgia here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:58pm
Irene:

Thanks for listening, everybody! Catch you next week.
  2:58pm
Van in DC:

Enjoyed the show - thank you so much Irene!
  2:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

ITA, Davice and kat! Lovely show, and a lovely, chill John Sebastian to end on!

Thanks Irene! Have a good afternoon everyone!
  2:59pm
Van in DC:

Ha! I actually work with a John Sebastian :)
  3:00pm
Sean in Bristol, UK:

A fantastic show, Irene, many, many thanks
  3:00pm
Bob in Miami:

Wow Love this Sebastian tune,saw him at the Flick coffee house in Coconut Grove in the early 70's perform this. Thanks Irene for a magical show..
