Welcome back, Tony! Lotsa pasta listening even if little keyboard ca-noodling today. Will try to do better next week. :)

Ciao, dear listeners -- TC here. It's week one of my three-week Italian rock special ... and, also, week one of FMU's month-long silent marathon. As many of you know, each show during October has a fundraising goal -- help me meet mine, won't you? Thank yers!!

Hiya, Kat -- nice to see you here so early. Read your message as "will try to do BATTER next week." Guess I'm hungry!

Carmichael:

Hiya Tony and early risers. I heard Sensations' Fix yesterday on Scott W's show. If you could squeeze in these ItaliProggers to you setlist, it would be buennisimo!
Avatar 11:38am
tonyc:

Hey Carmichael! Was planning to do just that! I guess some kind of Sensations' Fix CD box-set thingee just came out. I don't have that, but I do have all their LPs.

Carmichael:

Awesome! Yay, prog!

So, again, contrary to what the Upcoming Special Events announcement implies, I'm not doing three hours of Italian rock -- I'm doing 9 hours, over three weeks ... so, there'll be plenty of time for prog -- and for everything else.

This Naif Orchestra track is a cover of the Italian national anthem, believe it or not.

OK, OK -- they're singing in French. But they ARE an Italian group.

By the way, my apologies to Italians and italian-Americans everywhere for calling this three-part show "Spaghetti Rock Special." What can I say -- it's the easy, obvious reference!

Tony might not say a peep, but I will. PLEASE make a pledge in honor of this wonderful show and in support of Give the Drummer Radio and WFMU. Use the pledge box atop this page to pledge directly to Tony's show. THANKS!

I was feeling guilty that Greece only got 3 hours (i.e., the all-Greek show I did a while ago), while Italy gets 9 -- until I discovered that Italy has six times the population.

i think some mighty listener has put you on the board, tony! thanks, awesome person!

Urps -- a completely strange cat just walked into my "studio"! Had to show him the way out....

Ricardo Montalbani:

I had rambunctious kittens for a spell who would love to check out spinning turntables, so when I was doing my show or recording a set, I had to guard the room. Sorta ended my tradition of cueing up a long track and stepping out for a smoke.
Avatar 12:54pm
tonyc:

My own cat is well-behaved. This was an alley cat who somehow got in the house (well, I did prop open the front door, so no mystery there).
Avatar 12:56pm
tonyc:

OK, so you hate Italo-Disco and Italian post-punk -- but you love Italian prog. Now's your time to pledge!
  12:56pm
Ricardo Montalbani:

Maybe he was just surveying the prospects. Like job shopping.
  12:56pm
listener james from westwood:

that cat knew where he or she would find a good home, it seems. cats be smart like that.

Avatar 12:57pm
tonyc:

Sadly, I think he might be lost. He has a collar, but is really dirty (tho not skinny).
  12:58pm
Ricardo Montalbani:

We've had that happen. Weird cats just walk in the kitty door, sort of look around, sniff the food, kind of regard you with this "I'm just shopping for humans" look, then leave.
Avatar 1:02pm
tonyc:

Umm -- one hour of the show is up, and I'm only 3% of the way to my goal. Hear that sound? it's my cup rattling. Please-o, please-o, please, help a freeform brother out.
  1:03pm
Ricardo Montalbani:

There's a sub-par Indian restaurant on Burnside where a cat comes in the window, checks out all the diners, then leaves. Inevitably, a patron will ask about it or complain and the server will shrug his shoulders and say it's a neighborhood cat.
  1:05pm
conrad:

This reminds me of that rock album Yma Sumac made in the late '60s!
Avatar 1:05pm

@ Ricardo M: Sounds like my kind of restaurant, actually (except for the sub-par part).
Avatar 1:07pm
tonyc:

Hiya, Conrad!
  1:07pm
Ricardo Montalbani:

I kind of thought the cat was cute. Sort of added a bit of whimsy to the otherwise bland fare. People actually complained about the cat on Yelp, even though they thought the food was good. I think that's a Portland thing. Not that there was a cat, it just wasn't a quality cat.
  1:09pm
Ricardo Montalbani:

@Conrad: You mean Miracles? It's been recently reissued on vinyl by a label called The Omni Recording Corporation.
Avatar 1:11pm
tonyc:

Hmm. Maybe my cat visitor isn't a stray after all -- he didn't bother to eat the food I put out for him.

My feline intruder says he won't leave until some more pledges come in. Please help me get rid of him!
  1:14pm
conrad:

That's it, 'Miracles'. Songs by Lex Baxter, I believe. Not Italian, but probably the first opera psych rock album. A strangely short-lived genre.
Avatar 1:20pm

Many thanks to Manuel de Bruxelles for a very generous pledge!! (And also many thanks to Ricardo M for his much-appreciated pledge earlier in the show.)

Thank you, Tony. I put a little something in petty cash for you, wink wink, nudge nudge ...

Seems like Harvest Records had an Italian division in the '70s, as a couple of the records I'm playing today came out on Harvest -- but, I think, only in Italy.

OK, so we've turned 21% -- we can drink now. But why stop here -- let's keep growing! Keep those pledges coming!!

Doug Schulkind:

Ok people, you can either pledge to Tony's show — supporting WFMU and the Drummer Stream in the process — or you can figure out what the heck I'm going to play on my show tonight at 6pm (Eastern).

Or of course you can do both.

How 'bout any one who pledges to my show gets to pick a track that gets played on your show? (Jus' kidding!)

Hello Tony & friends, do I get a whiff of Premiata Forneria Marconi though if memory serves they were on ELPs Manticore.

Hey Brian in UK! Yeah, PFM were mega-stars in Italy, so I'm sure they influenced plenty of other bands.

Doug did you see that Eric Hobsbawn the eminent historian passed away yesterday.

Yep -- Eric Hobsbawm AND Barry Commoner. A bad week for old lefties.

I can never understand how anyone can be an historian when you were not there. We have enough trouble with modern day history getting the facts right especially when national security in invoked.

All reality is provisional. (My heavy comment of the day -- worth a pledge, no?)

Glad I'v found time to tune in! BTW Die Schachtel is about to reissue Luciano Cilio in double LP. Saluti from an Italian in Brooklyn who's about to pledge something.

You may have come across these chaps Tony. Saw them supporting & backing Richard Buckner a while ago. Most efficacious.

Doug Schulkind:

Hey dear listeners, do not let Tony's show end today without his total reaching 25% (or even higher!). All it will take is one more $15 pledge to get to that 1/4 mark.

Slow and steady will win this race for Tony C and the WFMU!

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Tony has only scraped a few layers of DNA off the top of Italian Rock. Next week he will surely poke around a vital organ or two.

Coming up in about three hours here on the Drummer Stream (6pm Eastern), I will be back with an hour of Japanese "jazz" (whatever that is) on the Tuesday edition of Give the Drummer Some.

Jesse Kaminsky had a computer meltdown yesterday, so his Kaminsky Kamoutsky show tonight at 7pm is in question.

Not in question is the virtual conveyor belt of fabulous artists lined up to entertain you here on your 24-hour Give the Drummer Radio stream:

Urs Blöchlinger Tettet
Dean-Trovesi Double Quarter (more Italians!)
Rodolfo y Su Típica
Mestre Cupijó
Anne O'Neill
The Last Town Chorus
Riley Crabtree
Wade Mainer
Abbie Neal & Her Ranch Girls
Messer Für Frau Müller
The Epics
Microns
Kishore Kumar
Sid Catlett
Fats Waller
Jimmie Lunceford
Basil Tone Drifters
and more
and more
and eternally more...

And one MORE pledge of $15 to get Tony to 50%!!!

@ Veronica: Yes, -- there is a Santa Claus .. I mean, yes, it was a single LP side. Thanks again for your pledge!

TY, Tony, and to Doug for bringing the stream to us!
Philo and I plan to renew our Mouse of Today pledge on last year's anniversary date in mid-December, so nothing else before nor during the 2013 marathon drive. This time, however, we know to distribute our pledge to designated programs, which will include the DJs who have shown via playlist comments and/or email exchange they actually appreciate us as listeners. We'll probably pledge equal amounts to eight shows -- coincidentally four on WFMU and four on GTDR -- with a minor boost of pledge #9 to 7SD, our longtime "gateway" program. And this concludes our "The More You Know" PSA. :)
