WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from October 21, 2022

Listener comments!
	🎭 6:55pm Listener Gregory: Hello, all. I have not yet had anything to drink, but I feel that Bronwyn could drive me to it with the proper selections.
	7:01pm Bronwyn Bishop: If this first track doesn't drive you to drink, the pig song from Carrie later in the program definitely will
	7:02pm doctorjazz: Rapmaster Doctorjazz checking in for duty!
	🎭 7:02pm diciassette: Martini per tutti! I feel like I remember this. I must have heard it at some point.
	🎭 7:03pm diciassette: Hi RM DJ! I'm going to put on my WFMU apron, and one oven mitt (like MJ)
	7:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi rapmasters doctorjazz and diciassette!!!!
	🎭 7:05pm WR: That time already? Good, means I can sign out from work.
	🎭 7:10pm diciassette: I do remember him being the master of bad hair dye!
	🎭 7:12pm Listener Gregory: @diciassette, he certainly did it better than Rudy Giuliani. Bronwyn, yes, the sound of Ronnie's voice is enough to send me into apoplexy.
	7:13pm doctorjazz: @diciassette-I was going to change my picture to one with the bib and glove, but I can't find the button to change my icon.
	🎭 7:16pm diciassette: I'd still take him over a walking Orange Cheeto, anyday.
	🎭 7:16pm diciassette: doctorjazz, glad to hear you're in such good shape! I'd better catch up.
	7:16pm Listener Gregory: I don’t know Les Mis (the musical) at all, but these lyrics do not seem good to me.
	7:17pm Dano59: Ronnie had sensible words about assault weapons, on or off Broadway
	7:20pm doctorjazz: When I was dating my wife, she was in LOVE with Le Mis, took me to see it 3 times (that was long enough ago that I can listen/watch it again). She did the same with Once On This Island, saw it 3 times.
	🎭 7:21pm WR: My favorite Les Mis is the Japanese version which featured Takeshi Kaga, best known perhaps as The Chairman" on the original Japanese Iron Chef.
	7:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: Garry T should find a new composer (RIP Liz) and do Rap Master Donnie
	🎭 7:23pm WR: doc, if you were to question her about repeated attendance of a musical, I'm sure she can question your tendency to see a musician or band repeatedly. 😆
	7:25pm doctorjazz: She could complain about seeing Abdullah Ibrahim more than once (except that they were great performances, she'd have no leg to stand on). It's more the "out" jazz stuff she's been stuck at that would be her main complaint.
	7:27pm doctorjazz: (She has seen Steven Bernstein a few times in different conglomerations, but they are all different enough that it wasn't redundant, at least I don't think so).
	🎭 7:45pm diciassette RM: [my internet research is still a few songs back] Peters "persuaded him to do one last 'Vargas Girls' portrait... She just went to his California retreat, asked him to do one more, he looked at her and said, 'You ARE a Vargas girl!'"
	7:46pm Listener Gregory: “Saladin Days” is a witty title. Not surprised that Tim Rice was involved.
	7:55pm Listener Gregory: I had heard about Starlight Express, but I now see I really had no idea.
	🎭 7:58pm diciassette RM: "He really blew it!"
	🎭 8:19pm Listener Gregory: I think drum machines may have an affinity for demonic musicals.
	8:22pm Bronwyn Bishop: Drum machines are instruments of Satan, confirmed (this makes them even cooler)
	8:26pm northguineahills: @listener gregory: make sure your drum machine circle is arranged in a pentagram...
	8:28pm northguineahills: "...they made sounds just like drums, now you're older and i'm wiser, we designed synthesizers.... (stephin merrit[as sung by dean wareham])
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: This Phantom cut illustrates the use of a synthesizer to play what could be played better (IMHO) by actual instruments. The best synth parts are those that make sounds that have never existed before, as by Sun Ra, say. That is just my opinion.
	8:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Bronwyn B and synthdicate. Bronwyn C teamed up with Hearty White last night. Definitely need more Bronywns!
	8:33pm northguineahills: @Listner Gregory: what about mellotrons? (not synthesizers, but....)
	8:33pm Dean: There's another Starlight Express, Elgar's. Well worth playing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlight_Express
	8:36pm Webhamster Henry: Back from giving my lecture and catching your last act....
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: @NGH, I am working on a statement regarding mellotrons, as soon as I know what they sound like.
	8:39pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Ken, Henry and Dean!!! :D
	🎭 8:42pm diciassette RM: @ngh the 6ths, innit!
	8:42pm Webhamster Henry: The Acid Jazz Hands Carrie Moment.
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: The only way this show could end is in buckets of blood.
	🎭 8:45pm diciassette RM: so. much. blood.
	8:47pm doctorjazz: The use of synthesizers, instead of musicians, sometimes has some positive musical aspects, but generally is a cost cutting move. 1 musician can replace a dozen or more.
	🎭 8:49pm Listener Gregory: There is a fine line between a synthesizer being used to purposely cheesy effect and one that just sounds cheesy in a shuddery way.
	8:56pm Listener Gregory: Thinking of all the ways my life would be different if I had been named Attila…
	🎭 8:57pm diciassette RM: "He just wants a calculator But he's got an oscillator He doesn't want to play no tune Just cause it's 1982"
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: Wonderful show, Ms Bishop! It never drove me to drink, though during the Starlight Express song I thought I might be tripping. Thanks!
	8:57pm doctorjazz: We've come to the Grand Finale, thanks Bronwyn, catch you all on the chat boards! Great weekend, all!
	🎭 8:58pm diciassette RM: Thanks Bronwyn!
	8:58pm Webhamster Henry: I'm sure Bronwyn pointed out that the use of synthesizers in (I think) Cats meant that the union made them hire musicians who didn't play.
	8:58pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank YOU darlings!
	8:59pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: I did not know that, what a fact!!!
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: @BB Fact check me though!
	9:00pm doctorjazz: That would negage any cost savings, of course (but I'm guessing if it's true, it's an exception, not the usual situation with using synthesizers. I could be wrong too, though).
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: Yes, the producers weren't saving any money on that one. Too bad CATS closed before they could make back their investment. Oh wait.
	🎭 9:16pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn!
