	4:20pm MHLee: ↳ WR @4:19 Knew something looked wrong
	4:22pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "The Number" by "Daniel Kahn and Psoy Korolenko, O... This song made an excellent transition to show tune
	4:28pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Yuppie Exodus from Dumbo (4 Minute Indestructible... Vulcan records makes these modern plastic cylinders. 2 and 4 minutes. You can press your own stuff there
	👻 4:29pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Number" by "Daniel Kahn and Psoy Korolenko, O... Funny resonance with this song. A friend who was a tech for radio stations somehow got a phone number in Japan that he used for testing when setting up for the station to put phone calls over the air. He said it must be a toll free international number because he would hear a recording that keep repeating while he was testing and there would be no charge. Since my partner was Japanese he asked me to listen and find out what they were saying. It was a recording saying in Japanese that they cannot find the number called, please check the number and try again.
	4:30pm MHLee: ↳ WR @4:29 Lol, that's excellent.
	4:32pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "In Your Memory (The Miners Letter)" by "Colorama" I think this one just got on because I was looking at obscure projects to highlight and this one somehow got left in after several drafts. Obscure band. Pleasant soud
	👻 4:36pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by "The Martini Kings" Put a pineapple on your head?
	4:37pm MHLee: ↳ WR @4:36 I paired this with the suave side of the moon on the jazz program i run
	4:41pm Mr Fab: Hey MHLee! Been so sick I haven’t felt like listening to much music lately, but this is all weirdly soothing.
	4:42pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @4:41 Hi MrFab, that's awful but relatable. I was in an ER recently.
	4:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by "The Martini Kings" These guys play around SoCal a lot. Like at every opening at the artist Shag’s gallery.
	4:43pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @4:41 Yikes! Hope you’re ok now?
	4:44pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @4:43 Not really sure what it was yet. Have a hunch but not pressing.
	👻 4:45pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @4:41 yikes, being that sick is no fun.
	4:46pm MHLee: I don't know if this a combination of a live take and an outtake from his rock album or what.
	4:47pm MHLee: But only knowing a single verse seems consistent with that era
	4:47pm MHLee: I'm pretty sure the band quoted tip-toe there which is impressive to fit into this
	4:52pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "A Day in The Life" by "The Portsmouth Sinfonia" In general they are much more capable on this album. There aren't many false starts and some of the instruments sound correct
	👻 4:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "A Day in The Life" by "The Portsmouth Sinfonia" Don't think I heard this album. Seems I would enjoy it more than the classical one they did (which I have and sorta enjoy).
	4:53pm MHLee: ↳ WR @4:52 It was hard to find recordings from
	5:00pm MHLee: it has a waltz tempo
	5:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ MHLee @4:52 Rock songs are easier to play!
	5:03pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Animal Speaks" by "15-60-75 (The Numbers Band)" These guys still tour Ohio
	5:04pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @5:03 I have these guys in a tag "jazz rock" with like one other band on my computer. There's a lot going on and weridly cryptic lyrics.
	5:06pm MHLee: Is this what it would sound like if Big Band went directly to rock?
	5:12pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Dry Ground" by "The Exkursions" This is actually a Jesus freak band if I remember correctly
	5:12pm Bri The Beatnik: Been working so missed the first hour of the show:( just got on break
	5:13pm MHLee: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @5:12 Hi Bri. Well, luckily we'll have archives. We are in the heavy psych portion now.
	5:14pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ MHLee @5:13 Awesome!
	5:18pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Parchment Farm" by "Blue Cheer" This song went from a blues song to a Mose Allsion arangement to this
	5:20pm Aitch: Great sounds MHLee, good morning all
	👻 5:20pm WR: ↳ MHLee @5:18 and with lots of stops in between.
	👻 5:21pm WR: Good morning Aitch!
	5:21pm MHLee: ↳ Aitch @5:20 Hi Aitch!
	5:22pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Drugs" by "Gift" strangecurrenciesmusic.com... a writeup about the band
	5:24pm Candy-O'67: MHLee - diggin' the tunes! Been here since the top of the hour!
	5:25pm Candy-O'67: Hwy Bri, Aitch, WR!
	5:25pm Candy-O'67: *Hey
	👻 5:25pm WR: Hi Candy!
	5:26pm MHLee: ↳ Candy-O'67 @5:24 I thought it would be a good time to play these hard edge stuff
	5:27pm Candy-O'67: ↳ MHLee @5:26 You are right, goes along with Some Weird Sin! Selections are topnotch today!
	5:27pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Pandemonium" by "Birth Control" Such a wild album cover here
	5:34pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "House of the Rising Sun" by "Frijid Pink" There a couple more wild versions of this out there
	5:35pm MHLee: There's a band called Red Eye which does a surf/blues thing of this... and there's a really weird garage version... think Kenny and the Casuals but might be wrong on that
	👻 5:41pm spodiodi: great show, MHLee. very enjoyable
	5:42pm MHLee: ↳ spodiodi @5:41 thanks spodiodi... didnt feel late enough for the otherworld
	5:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Interstellar Fuzz Star" by "Psychic Lemon" Great stuff. I need to turn lights off n on real fast to make my own strobe light. Maybe a laser pointer to wiggle on the ceiling.
	5:51pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @5:49 Got from a comp from the acid listener group. Believe they once had a zine. Great place to find music though I think they've gone inactive
	👻 5:55pm WR: Thank you! MHLee!
	5:55pm MHLee: Thanks for listening.
	5:55pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Bye Baby" by "The Firebirds" Gotta love the exploitation album covers
	5:59pm Candy-O'67: Loved the show! Thx, man!

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 3, 2024

View MHLee's profile

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Friday 8 - 9am (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room
