Favoriting The Mike Rogers Show: Playlist from May 4, 2022 Favoriting

Mike Rogers's avatar View Mike Rogers's profile Favoriting

Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

Mr. Fab, I used to do stand up comedy in LA long time ago.
I think I was on stage maybe 8 or 10 times.
I'd so my shtick and one night people were throwing money on the stage, the next night it was like a funeral... I decided it wasn't for me.

That's what's great about radio - you have a captive audience!

Stevie Nichts:

That's SIX songs so far... Why not just track an entire side of your Tetsuko record and be done with it?
Avatar 6:33pm
Mike Rogers:

Well, because there would be a 2 second (about pause in between tracks)...
Avatar 6:34pm
Mr Fab:

neo-exotica group Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica just sent out an email to their fans asking how much would we pay to see their 23-person Esquivel tribute big band in LA? I have no idea what the going rate is, but their promoter is wondering what price to set. What say you all? I would totally want to go.
Avatar 6:34pm
Mike Rogers:

If they are separated by different tracks, no pause.... And I don't want to edit the tracks on the CDs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35pm
Feldy:

I would go, but of course there's a limit. Not sure what that is...

$75!!!! Oh wow! That's expensive!!!
Avatar 6:38pm
Mr Fab:

Yeah, for just a rock band. Imagine what a big band would cost...
  6:39pm
Stevie Nichts:

You got the "lazy" part right.
Avatar 6:39pm
Mike Rogers:

How about this, Mr. Fab? Make the event formal and serve dinner? A nice dinner. Then people might pay $100 ~ $150 a ticket? But that is also risky... But this have to be an expoerice, and event.

I'm fine. How are you Wassup?????
Avatar 6:43pm
Mr Fab:

They were asking "Would you be interested in some additional Esquivel-centered events such as guest speaker talks, panel chats, cocktail events, or something like this...?" So yeah, good idea, make it all worthwhile if we're gonna pay in the three figures.
  6:43pm
Charles:

I love this Stephanies song, oh yeah!
Avatar 6:44pm
wassuprockerradio:

I'm good! Liked the last song by Portugal Japan!
Avatar 6:44pm
Mike Rogers:

Mr. Fab, I don't think the talks and panel stuff is strong enough to draw people (especially the partners of the people who like Esquivel)....
Avatar 6:45pm
Mr Fab:

yeah, so maybe dinner would be a better bet
Avatar 6:48pm
Mike Rogers:

Maybe has a violinist as a warm up or a string quartet... Can get a standup comedian for $20... Easy.
Avatar 6:49pm
Mike Rogers:

A nice dinner. With wine and champagne. Well dressed waiters. Maybe have the event at a big restaurant?

That's a cool idea Utradamno san!

Ooh, good idea - they also perform as a quintet. Some members could open for themselves playing non-Esquivel stuff as the quintet.

23 people on stage would be costly. It would be fair to pay a premium for that experience. Has to be a nice theatre.
