  9:45am charlie:

yes, aren't we all?
  9:45am Belford:

I love Frank Pahl!
  9:46am charlie:

Probably not the association most people have with that song, Victor!
  9:47am charlie:

I love Frank Pahl too -- great work with Only a Mother, Scavenger Quartet, and solo too
  9:48am t in o:

what is music?
  9:49am charlie:

after the Wiggins sisters, aka the Shaggs, the definition of what is music changed forever!

post-modern shangri-las song here
  9:55am charlie:

Here's Frank Pahl again, with Only a Mother
  9:59am victor in Albany:

  10:02am charlie:

they just seem to line themselves up, somehow, but thanks, Victor!
  10:04am Laura L:

It's the simile song!
  10:05am charlie:

R.I.P. Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart. Back to Venus at last...
  10:20am Gary the M:

channeling Gil Scott Heron
  10:20am ndbob:

Heya Charlie!
  10:24am charlie:

Good morning, Bob -- thanks for dropping by.
  10:24am charlie:

"herring in wine sauce"/
"shouldn't be a total loss"
-- such a rhyme!
  10:28am Gary the M:

swangin' number
  10:29am ndbob:

indeed Gary
  10:31am charlie:

this is a cover of a song originally done by Francoise Hardy
  10:31am victor in Albany:

It was a huge hit for her
  10:33am charlie:

Yes, and her name is little know here (except on WFMU)
  10:36am ndbob:

I remember listening to Francoise n seventh grade French class.
  10:37am charlie:

I wish our French class was so hip! I do remember our English teacher playing Simon & Garfunkel -- ah, the sixties...
  10:38am victor in Albany:

Is this off of PIL's record that came in a metal box? and was impossible to get the LP out of the box?
  10:39am Gary the M:

lucky you, bob - all we got was Gilbert Becaud
  10:42am charlie:

That's the one -- "Metal Box" -- although it was was subsequently issued as "Second Edition" -- much easier to open!
  10:45am Belford:

My all-time fave musician, Yusef Lateef, plays on that Jimmy Scott record under the pseudonym "Joe Gentle."
  10:46am Drummer Some:

Hey, Yusef is my all-time musical hero/rabbi/guru, too. Can we share?
  10:47am Gary the M:

great to hear the double six, man
  10:47am ndbob:

yep - i recently found a double six lp online
  10:50am Gary the M:

that mimi perrin is somethin' else
  10:50am charlie:

That's cool, Bob! I've only ever had a CD re-ish and mp3s from online. Nice find. They worked with Quincy Jones and Diz, and begat the Swingle Singers (via Ward Swingle, who was in the Double Six)
  10:51am charlie:

Capitol records -- responsible for Les Double Six *and* Mrs. Miller!
  10:51am ndbob:

this was an mp3 lp ....i actually wasn't familiar with them until i found it
  10:52am t in o:

ahhh...thanks for this...
  10:54am ndbob:

great show charlie - i can never seem to get up and ready to hear it all love- so i'll catch the rest on the archive
  10:54am charlie:

  10:55am charlie:

that's why the archives are there, bob -- glad you were here live for the second half.

  4:44pm Listener Katya Oddio:

Spent the morning and early afternoon laughing and singing -- all thanks to Charlie. Thanks! Really fun show! If I still have "Noshville Katz" in my head this time next week, I may be less enthusiastic. ;)
  11:30am charlie:

Thanks for the comment Katya. And here's hoping that Noshville Katz gets out of your head soon!
