Also, I saw the Atlantic Starr Unsung. Their ballad era bores me, but the early records seemed really interesting.
Unfortunately, they are out of print in this country. :(
12:07pm
Cecile:
Yeah, more than a little, Mike East.
12:08pm
still b/p:
Love My Way -- Exactly what my ears noticed, too.
12:08pm
Ken From Hyde Park:
What if it turns out this song was pirated? Are we supposed to un-listen it somehow?
12:08pm
duane:
Hi Mike! Yes there is a bit of that melody in there huh? Yeah Cecile, that was a great unsung. I. LOve. Early. Atlantic Starr. We will here some of both today..count on it!
12:10pm
duane:
Ken from Hyde park: You have to "report" all of the media you encounter every week? You haven't been writing down every song and image you encounter and where?. I'm sorry Ken I'm gonna have to make a phone call!!!
12:10pm
Cecile:
thanks, Duane.
That Unsung was so tactful about the discord. Pretty much if you weren't totally into selling out, you left or were kicked out of Atlantic Starr. Pretty sad.
12:11pm
Neg-guh-tor:
Who was in Electronic? Can't Wiki
12:12pm
Cecile:
Johnny Marr and some New Order dude.
12:12pm

bernard sumner + johnny marr, and the pet shop boys guy on this song
12:13pm

Neil Tennant.
12:13pm
Neg-guh-tor:
It sounds just like that combo.
12:15pm
Ken From Hyde Park:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_(band) Just hang a ".m" in there to access.
12:16pm
robyn:
morning all! enjoying the show duane. sounds like the web protests are having an impact. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/technology/web-protests-piracy-bill-and-2-key-senators-change-course.html?hp
12:26pm
Cecile:
YES
12:27pm
Eli:
Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me
12:27pm
Bertha Butt:
I'll sock it to ya baby!
12:28pm
Cecile:
I'll sock it to you, Eli.
I'll sock it to you, Eli.
12:28pm
Bathsheba Butt:
We were the original Kardashians.
12:30pm
Eli:
Are you one of the famous Butt sisters, capable of doing the Bertha Butt Boogie???
12:30pm
Cecile:
God, when we were kids, we loved this song.
12:31pm
Bathsheba Butt:
Right on.
12:33pm
still b/p:
"Gotta find a woman!" The Delegates had to -- HAD to! -- use it in Convention '72, in Kissinger's mouth.
12:34pm
Cecile:
I saw it on American Bandstand as a wee one. It started me on a strange and different path.
12:36pm
Eli:
Bathsheba, WHERE YOU BEEEEEEN
12:40pm
Cecile:
Great remix.
12:41pm
Cecile:
what is the synth making that kind of thick and wobbly noise?
12:41pm
Cecile:
I call it the dubstep wobble noise.
12:45pm
DrekHater:
Heading over to Pandora until 3pm I guess...just not my thang - wasn't keen the 1st time around in the 70's...
12:47pm
paul:
yes, we get it. you post the same damn thing every week.
12:48pm
Mike East:
@DrekHater, there is an alternate stream going by Amanda Nazario. You should check that out. At least its a human being spinning the records.
12:49pm
Jan Audun Uretsky:
Hi Duane!
12:49pm
Cecile:
Human beings answer Pandora's Twitter feed, and they are quite nice.
12:50pm
Eli:
Uhhh, pretty sure my friend Duane is spinning these records. Wait?! DUANE IS A ROBOT??!! Shit, I hope he's a friendly robot...
12:51pm
listener jimbo:
Pandora's algorithm is questionable.
12:51pm
Jan Audun Uretsky:
Knock'in it out as usual
12:52pm
Cecile:
it's slowly getting better.
Duane is the Funky Cyborg of Funk.
12:52pm
Mike East:
Al Gore's rhythm is questionable.
12:52pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Eli, I think Mike meant for DrekHater to head on over to Amanda's show instead of Pandora because PANDORA is the robot, not Duane. Wait, Duane, you aren't a robot, right? If you are, you are a totally kickass DJ of a robot. :-)
12:53pm
Cecile:
Wendy, I had some killer blue-collar white cheddar from Wisconsin over the holidays. Aged 6 years. A dream.
12:53pm
Eli:
Ahhh, thanks Wendy. TOo much coffee today...
12:54pm
duane:
No robots here:) And if Drekhater ain't feelin' it, he definitely should check my mate Amanda's excellent stream on the other side of the 'FMU pond! What's the word ELi!!!!!
12:54pm
Cecile:
Held its own with the Cheeses of the World sampler from Zingerman's my sister sent me.
12:55pm
robyn:
something about prefuse 73. i always find myself recognizing their/his songs even when i don't know them.
12:55pm
Cecile:
Duane, Cyborg just means you are like the 6 Million Dollar Man, ck ck ck ck ck
12:55pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Cecile, 6 years is a crazy long time to age cheddar! I've never had a 6-year cheddar. it's going on the list :-)
Ahh, Zingermans. JEALOUS!
Eli, no problem! Happy to help. Have some cheese to calm your nerves.
12:56pm
Eli:
DUANE!! My homie...
1:01pm
Cecile:
It is like Milwaukee Reggiano.
It's crumbly, not as sharp as you think and just melts in your mouth. I think it's made by Nick's Dairy. If you look online, there are folks who are aging them up to 15 years now! Wow!
1:02pm
Cecile:
The only thing bad was there was bread. I love Zingerman's bread, but if you don't get it into the freezer or oven immediately, you have to chisel slices off the loaves.
1:06pm
Cecile:
I found a clip on YouTube of a Salvadoran band doing Bertha Butt Boogie in English. It sounds like Agador from the movie The Birdcage.
1:07pm
Eli:
Drink that coffee... Woah this sounds cool.
1:08pm
Cecile:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRthnxvHhos
1:09pm
duane:
it ain't that cool Eli, but it is hilarious in retrospect
1:14pm
Cheri Pi:
Am I the only one interested in the PORN???
1:14pm
Cecile:
Eli is too.
1:14pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Cecile, if the cheddar is aged right, at 6 years it should not be as sharp as one would expect. That nasty acrid taste in super-aged cheese comes from being aged poorly. Grafton (VT) recently reworked their 3- and 4-year cheddars and the 4-year is remarkably sweet. Isn't it incredible that you can EAT milk (more or less) that's SIX years old?
1:15pm
Eli:
The creature from the black lagoon is NOT my father. My dad's name is Andy.
1:16pm
duane:
Hold tight guys..the caffeine's gotta kick in just right!
1:16pm
Cecile:
I know, Wendy. It is miraculous to me!
1:17pm
Cecile:
it even has old-school black wax on it.
1:18pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Somehow, all my life I've missed this "Hey Leroy" track. Such a shame! Thanks for fixing that, Duane. So great, so much fun.
1:18pm
Cecile:
There has to be an Unsung about War. Maybe the most underrated band of the 70s?
1:18pm
seang:
bring it!
1:19pm
Eli:
Wendy is dropping serious cheese knowledge. I love cheese.
1:21pm
Cecile:
I get misty about it. We didn't do fast food as kids on trips. We'd roll into Wisconsin cheese shops and get great cheese and pickles and crackers and meats and eat in parks.
1:21pm
duane:
Cecille: Well you know that War is basically the Hatfields and Mccoys of funk?
1:22pm
Cheri Pi:
Cecile, I believe it was you who said "after the nuclear holocaust, if I'm going to have to fight rats for cheese, there had better be some War LPs in my bunker to come home to" or something like that.
1:24pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Eli, ha ha, thanks! it's what I do for a living. If you want some shameless self-promotion, check me on cheesesnob.com
1:24pm
Cecile:
that's right.
Duane, yes.
it's the lead singer vs everyone else. We were walking around downtown Mpls, and we could have seen that version, but the staff at the Dakota bar and grill subtlely conveyed to us that it might not be all that great an idea.
1:25pm
Cecile:
I guess Lee Oskar teaches in the Northwest and once or twice a year he does his reunion up there.
1:26pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Cecile, cheese and meats and pickles and crackers are THE BEST picnic foods. It's basically Ploughman's Lunch, what kept miners and field hands full and sturdy for centuries.
1:26pm
Cecile:
the Dakota is a great jazz/soul bar, and the staff must have not been thrilled with the soundcheck.
1:26pm
Cecile:
that's right, Wendy! and it ends up being our regular dinner a few times a month.
1:27pm
Cecile:
this is great stuff, Duane. 6 year old cheddar to the Velveeta of Secret Lovers.
1:28pm
duane:
Cecille: I'm telling you..Atlantic Starr's "When Love Calls" and "Tuch a 4 leaf clover" will make you misty"
1:29pm
duane:
Touch
1:29pm
Cecile:
And the harmonies of Circles, which I hear for the first time on the show - wow.
Hey, Millie Jackson is going to be on Unsung! That's a must watch.
1:32pm
Jan Audun Uretsky:
Yeah I think "Touche, a four leaf clover" would be another medium altogether...
1:36pm
JT:
Hey Duane can you play this Puddin song twice? Just because.
1:39pm
duane:
JT :) Hahaha..I should huh? That's such a sexy song!
1:49pm
seang:
the Louisville Lip!
1:49pm
Caryn:
Was that ol' Parky interviewing Ali?
1:50pm
kat330:
They had a big bash for Ali across the river Saturday night.
1:53pm
duane:
Caryn: Yup! Those interviews are some of the most intense interviews ever. I loved the fact that these conversations kept evolving over the years and they were so open with each other about their beliefs.
1:56pm
?:
Duane, duane, duane, where can we get ahold of this Stevie edit? insane!
1:56pm
slugluv1313:
hi Duane! excellent show . . . RIP, Jimmy Castor -- yes we loved "Troglodyte" when we were kids too -- even my Dad would totally crack up over that song! RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:57pm
duane:
Glad you enjoy the stevie edit. Underdog did it. He gave it to me, but I do believe it's on 12"
1:58pm
duane:
thanks slugluv1313!
1:58pm
bb:
this IS pretty hot, duanne
2:00pm
anne:
you're rockin' it Duane, sounds fabulous!
2:02pm
Eli:
That ALi interview was amazing
2:02pm
Ryan:
Can I hear some Taio Cruz?
2:03pm
Caryn:
Parkinson is a great interviewer and a lovely person. And that sweet Yorkshire accent...
2:06pm
Kenzo:
@Cecile: Hooray for eats in parks
2:08pm
Eli:
man. This story is hectic!
2:10pm
Cecile:
WOW.
That's almost as creepy as when the guy from the Forensic Center (jail for the criminally insane) in Ypsi, MIchigan wrote me when I was DJing at WCBN.
2:11pm
Cecile:
exactly, Kenzo. Nice way to get to know the states around you.
2:11pm
duane:
Oh really Cecille? Yikes! Did you keep any of the letters?
2:13pm
Cecile:
it was just one letter. I don't remember if I kept it or not. He enjoyed my "end of the world" show I did randomly in '85 or '86. At the end, I told people to sit down, get out of their shoes and have a hamburger with lots of mustard and enjoy the show. Then I did 3 minutes of dead air before the next show.
2:13pm
Bob:
Just wash your hands after handling the correspondence and feel pleased that you were able to give without receiving! :)
2:13pm
Cecile:
his letter was very nice and he enjoyed the last bit. it had the neat, compulsive handwriting of certain personality disorders.
2:15pm
duane:
Bob;OMG>>HAHAHAHA!

Cecile:

Caryn:
I'm guessing SNL?
2:29pm
duane:
Caryn: Tonight Show actually!
2:30pm
Cecile:
That makes sense. Crystal wasn't a SNL cast member until the early 80s.
2:31pm
Jennique:
Bilily? I like that better than Billy.
Saw the Muhammed Ali documentary on PBS the other day. Loved seeing all the old footage of him.
2:32pm
Kenzo:
I enjoyed not realizing it wasn't really them. Glad I didn't look at the playlist until after.
2:38pm
robyn:
did i miss the porn story?
2:38pm
Cecile:
this is cute, but I miss the Emotions and Phillip Bailey trying to outshout each other.
2:39pm
duane:
yeah robyn..don't know if I can quite get up the stomach to retell it agian..haha
2:40pm
Kat in Chicago:
not sure the world needed a dubstep remix of Boogie Wonderland
2:41pm
Cecile:
My kidneys hate this remix.
2:41pm
Mr El Donutsu:
You call this hippie music?
2:42pm
Cecile:
sounds like SWV had a few testoterone pills in their coffee on the day of this session.
2:43pm
Cecile:
or tostadarone or whatever the hell dude hormones are called.
2:45pm
vanessa:
chopped/screwed swv is better than unchopped/unscrewed swv. hola duane!
2:45pm
Hell Dude Hormones:
Thanks for the new band name!
2:49pm

you're welcome!

haha, no need to revisit, duane. i missed about an hour of the show so i'm sure i'll catch it on the archives.
3:46pm
robyn:
i see i made myself look like a pervert. nice!
8:04pm
Adam:
Duane, fantastic show as usual...I always hear something that you play that I need to go and find. It turns out that remixed Electronic song is a free download! Thank you!
