Listener comments!

12:09pm KevinWho:

Swamp Rate!!!!! Yes!

12:10pm KevinWho:

Rats, oops.
I sit here 5 miles from McKeesport PA

12:11pm SteveL:

Awesome start. Still at home, which will make it a tough transition to work in the next hour. (Don't want to miss a note!) Shouldn't be a problem if I don't obey traffic signals.

12:12pm SmokinJ:

Diggin' the summer.... Hey Joe & all :)

12:12pm Mike East:

Three Chord Joe!

12:15pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Joe & everyone! It's F-in Springtime...Let's get the boards and get out to Coney Island!!!

12:17pm Cheri Pi:

nice oldie JB!

12:17pm KevinfromBayRidge:

or rock-rock-Rockaway Beach... 38F water won't kill'ya!

12:19pm SteveL:

80s in Indiana, (As heralded by the Greg Kihn Band)

Surely, these are the end times.

12:19pm Deed Runlea:

this song is rad, it kind of reminds me of Wizzard

12:28pm Cheri Pi:

sweet! featuring former Bangle Vicki Peterson

12:31pm Joe B:

good call Cheri Pi, you are correct! Hi kevin and Kevin, SteveL, J, Mike, Deed and Cheri! thanks for tuning in!

12:33pm TBay:

RIP Edward "Eddie" Kurdziel (Redd Kross)

12:34pm John L.:

"Neurotica" needs to get reissued again; it's OOP. Great show, as usual. Got any Ben Vaughn layin' around?

12:36pm KevinWho:

@TBay: Seconded.

12:36pm groucho:

Manchester, England signing in. Hello

12:41pm Mike Sin:

Hi Joe! Back workin' at home on this Tuesday. My ears are hearin' the broadcast signal -- my eyes are reading the accuplaylist!

12:48pm Joe B:

Hi Mike, Groucho and TBay! yes TBay, RIP but I don't think Eddie plays on that Redd Kross track, fyi

12:49pm Cheri Pi:

Death! coming to our ears!

12:49pm SHIMMY:

man, this is seriously RAWK-in' three chord today.

12:50pm David Shortell:

When Dez Cadena appeared at the Brighton Bar last summer to show his videos of 1984 LA underground rock shows, I was surprised to see that Vicki used to be in Redd Kross! Of course when the Bangles hit big shortly after, it made continued membership in Redd Kross impossible.

12:51pm Richard from Venezuela:

This set is terrific. Greetings Joe and all the listeners.

12:51pm KevinWho:

Joe B: right you are. EK came on Phaseshifter, and wrote the sublime "Lady In The Front Row"

12:51pm efd:

Hey everyone, there's this indie/non-commercial radio station competition in progress at soundtap.com, and right now WFMU is losing in round 2. You can help us advance by going to http://soundtap.com/madness and listening to WFMU via their player. Every minute counts!

12:52pm Woo:

I forgot what day it is. Thank God for archives. 83 today in Chicago, 84 tomorrow. Crazy, man, crazy.

12:55pm Parq:

From Death's Ponderosa gig:

1:02pm Bluesman:

Mike Sin, how do you get any work done when yer too busy watching the apl?

1:03pm Parq:

Grinning for ear to ear at that Rollers seg.

1:05pm Joe B:

Happy birthday Bluesman!

1:06pm efd:

Not sure of the all details, but Omar from Apache has been drumming for Bare Wires, and he's apparently having some health issues. Hopefully he'll be fine and they'll reschedule the tour dates.

1:08pm Derek D.:

Thanks for the nice poppy soundtrack for those of us trapped at our desk jobs! Hard to be miserable... and keep your thinking cap on for when I need more photos ID'd, Joe!!

1:08pm Joe B:

wow, that sucks. I know they made it to SXSW but that was it.

1:10pm Joe B:

Hi parq! Woo, efd, Shimmy, Derek!

1:10pm Juan Rapido:

Imperial Teen! They were awesome at the SF Noise Pop festival -- and then a free show the next day at Amoeba Records. Huge band crush. See them if you can.

1:11pm Joe B:

Hi Richard, David S., thanks for the info! Ribeyes Friday at the Brighton!

1:12pm DOooo it:

How about some Audacity?

1:12pm Joe B:

Hi Juan, yes they are great!

1:14pm Bluesman:

Thanks Joe! Starting tomorrow I start counting backwards.

1:15pm Danne D:

To amplify Evan's point about the soundtap thing, for the minutes to count you have to register on their site (just an e-mail addy is all they are asking for): http://soundtap.com/madness

Hi everyone. Great show, Joe.

1:17pm Joe B:

Thanks DD!

1:23pm Danne D:

Death Live from Ponderosa Stomp played on Terre's Show in '10:

1:24pm Danne D:

And while not live, Diane did a long Death set back in '01 on her show: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/1756

1:24pm kat330:

Hi and Happy Spring Joe et al!

1:25pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Signed up for ST & got my 90 mins in this morning during Modern World.Let's all do this!

1:25pm kat330:

Soundtap is allowing me to listen again (w/o account), and it's so weird how through my computer speakers, Joe is ahead of the iTunes room speakers by about 1 second. Twice as nice! :)

1:27pm KevinWho:

Silver Threads = Wanda Jackson? It might have been a cover

1:29pm kat330:

Sorry to have missed the Lowe, Joe, but glad I could finally make a few moments to be here.

1:30pm Joe B:

Hi Kat!

1:32pm kat330:

At least while I was busy this morning, I had the red-winged blackbird's song to herald the season. It's such a sweet tweety one.

1:33pm KP:

I've been sound tapping since sunday. It's a Slam Dunk!

1:34pm kat330:

I gotta say, it's a surprisingly commercial endeavor for noncommercial stations to sanction. No one else see that?

1:36pm KP:

Speaking of the Rollers,saw them at an Irish bar in queens while back. Original guys except drummer who was in prison for child molestation.

1:38pm KevinWho:

Love this Loveless guy's guitar sound, I want.

1:38pm KP:

It's made me aware there's a lot of cool stations out there. Of course there's only one Fun 91.

1:38pm Joe B:

@Kevinwho - Todd May is listed as lead guitar

1:40pm Diogenes of Sinope:

I hate to be cynical, but what exactly, besides bragging rights, does a station win from SoundTap? I see SoundTap gets my email address and information about my tastes in radio for future marketing purposes. Besides, this bracketing looks suspicious -- why are the two most popular stations put against each other so early?

1:40pm KevinWho:

Todd is God! :)

1:40pm SteveL:

RE. silly radio contest: I'm getting a bad gateway. Anyone else?

1:42pm kat330:

@steveL: I'm in Indiana, too. Maybe I'm barring the way for you? ;)

1:42pm KP:

This Loveless is not too far from Patty Loveless. Mucho excello.

1:44pm kat330:

I scrolled back up the list: Happy Birthday, Bluesman! This seems a fitting track for you.

1:44pm SteveL:

Damn you kat330! Step aside!

Actually, I probably have an hour plus already today.

1:45pm kat330:

@Diogenes: That's how I see it, too. Commercialism is at the root (isn't it always...)

1:47pm SteveL:

silly contest got better. Hope someone with more time than I have is cheating on our behalf.

1:47pm Bluesman:

Thanks Kat! In about half-an-hour I'll be having the "boring work meeting and missing the rest of the Three Chort Monte Show" blues.

1:48pm Danne D:

@Diogenes I like bragging rights :) I don't tend to think that Oberlin is one of the two most popular stations - rather a bunch of snot-nos...er I mean heartfelt kids trying to win. Doesn't seem like all 64 stations are even aware of it.

1:48pm Danne D:

Frankly the contest can only improve quality of the spam I've been receiving anyway :)

1:49pm Diogenes of Sinope:

@kat, Agreed: Follow the Money. However, these aren't commercial stations and SoundTap isn't forthcoming about who pays their bills. Best I can tell, some anonymous party is sponsoring a rigged competition with no prizes in order to surreptitiously collect information.

1:49pm kat330:

@Bluesman: Sorry to hear that. I work from home, so whenever I conduct a meeting with myself, I make certain it is anything but boring. :) Celebrate safely!

1:52pm SteveL:

Thinking Danne D and Diogenes are right on track. No activity today on more than half of the stations.

1:53pm efd:

fyi, Sujay Vennam, one of Soundtap's co-founders, will be on Aerial View with Chris T. tonight at 6pm to talk more about this competition.

1:55pm benjoya:

tom jones yeah!

1:56pm efd:

Also, here's an article from the radiosurvivor blog with a little more background: http://j.mp/GD5e7P

1:56pm kat330:

Just got an email this morning with the news Twitter has purchased Posterous. Now most folks probably have no idea what the latter even is, but it's where I finally felt like uploading to the cloud (preferred over FB). No doubt this will mean nothing good for me and my endeavors.

1:56pm benjoya:

sister rosetta tharpe also sings the hell out of that song

1:57pm benjoya:

that's a real old song

1:58pm Danne D:

Whoa Baseball Project live? Did I hear that right? :)

1:58pm benjoya:

blind willie johnson, 1927: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Nobody's_Fault_but_Mine

1:59pm John L.:

Who does Tom Jones think he is, Jimmy Page?

1:59pm benjoya:

ha!

2:02pm Bluesman:

Doin' the Do at my desk right now!

2:05pm SHIMMY:

lovin' these production values...

2:08pm Diogenes of Sinope:

I'm a sucker: I used the j.mp link to let Bitly know what I'm reading, then read about the SoundTap fishing trip, learning nothing about how the stations stand to benefit from SoundTap collecting information or how they intend to use it. I hope Chris T. gets some good answers because this smells like a scam.

2:10pm KP:

Soundtap's co-founder is Trip Sweeney? I thought that was my name.

2:10pm kat330:

@Diogenes: A rock sucker, IIRC.

2:11pm kat330:

@KP: Yeah, I noticed that GOP-given name, too. Heh!

2:11pm Joe B:

@ Shimmy - yeah, never thought you'd hear sounds like that on a Norton release!

2:12pm Danne D:

From their FAQ -
How can I contact you?
Email feedback@soundtap.com or call the Soundtap hotline any time at (650) 434-2TAP.

FWIW - 650 is a California area code (San Mateo)

2:13pm Danne D:

Palo Alto more precisely:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/9/prweb8787135.htm

2:13pm Danne D:

I gotta eat - thanks for a great show Joe B and have a great day everyone!

2:14pm kat330:

Bye and bon appetit, Danne!

2:14pm KP:

Well as someone who has sudden if selfish interest in other free-form stations, I appreciate the sound tap bracket.

2:15pm efd:

This Lee Ranaldo is great - can't wait to hear the set on Brian's show!

2:15pm KP:

Bye DD. hey this light has changed, I should get going too.

2:15pm geokopp:

Hey Joe! Mind a shameless plug on here for my Maxwell's photo show??

2:16pm Joe B:

George go for it! next tuesday, right?

2:17pm geokopp:

Yup Tuesday 3/27 @ 7pm.

2:19pm geokopp:

At Maxwell's. Features photos of Alex Chilton, Ronnie Spector, Jeff Beck, LaLa Brooks, Roky Erickson, Elvis Costello, Ian Hunter, Hubert Sumlin, Glen Jones & X-Ray Burns, Allen Toussaint, Bo Diddley, The Gories and many other heroes of rock and roll!

2:20pm kat330:

@Geo: Is there a virtual way to view them? Sounds very cool.

2:21pm geokopp:

www.georgekopp.com has lots of these although not organized into a single folder. I gotta do that soon!

2:22pm kat330:

Thanks!!

2:22pm geokopp:

a shout on air would be appreciated too if possible, Joe!

2:23pm SoundFlapper:

@Diogenes of Sinope agreed. that's why i'm only listening through Firefox right now and signed up with a fake email. i bet i could do this 34 more times ...just sayin'

2:25pm kat330:

Um, getting nothing but a GD domain dingus, geokopp.

2:27pm herb:

great set of music (as usual, ho hum). and awaiting moore LEE RANALDO (sorry, bad pun). (ASIDE - i just went to maxwellsnj.com & saw the G.KOPP foto mention. yeah! i catch up on maxwell's via their v.voice ad, but, they've not been running for a long time. why? sunday nytimes has editorial on how v.v. is involved in underage prostitution via the adverts, and they should be called on it. ugh, i routinely pick up my copy ev.wednesday.)

2:29pm geokopp:

georgekopp.com is down! wow, gotta fix that! sorry kat.

2:31pm kat330:

Let us know when it's working again. It's a bit of a hike from Louisville to NJ.

2:31pm geokopp:

Thanks so much, Joe!!

2:32pm Joe B:

kat it will be worth the wait, great photos!

2:32pm kat330:

Noticing that "GD domain" I typed. GD works a couple of ways there. :)

2:35pm geokopp:

@kat: drop me an e-mail and I'll shout when it's up. georgekopp@comcast.net

2:37pm kat330:

Speaking of typing, I'm always impressed how well you keep up with your playlist, the music and the comments, Joe. Especially with the short tracks you play, you must be a speed typist.
@geo: Okay, but don't spam me, bro! :)

2:40pm Mike East:

I just went to georgekopp.com, pics look great! I think I saw some of our backline in some of them.

2:44pm KP:

Basically if the station is for it, so am I. It had to go all out to just barely make a modest goal. It needs needs exposure outside nj/ny.

2:45pm Holly in NC:

Yay Dale Watson!

2:45pm KP:

Dale! We're back in Austin.

2:46pm kat330:

@Mike: Are you serious? Am I on some way out spiral arm of the Internet galaxy? Why do I have a different experience so often from you folks when surfing? Hm. The site is still down for me.

2:48pm geokopp:

@kat: I can't get on either.

2:49pm kat330:

@Mike: Are you using a cached version?

2:50pm kat330:

@geo: Sent the email, you should have it shortly. Glad to know I'm not alone out here in the far reaches.

2:51pm Mike East:

I don't know what cache is- sorry. I just copy/pasted what geokopp commented - www.georgekopp.com - weird.

2:53pm Unclear on the concept:

Anyone else finding that this Johnny Cash song is getting them down?

2:55pm kat330:

Weird indeed. I think we're only in the early stretch of what will be some intense and ugly virtual turf races/wars, getting progressively worse (greed as the carrot) in the immediate future.

2:55pm kat330:

Thanks, Joe!!

2:56pm Marmalade Kitty:

Great show joe..the radio here has been awesome all day!

2:58pm benjoya:

thanks joe!

2:58pm Paul B:

Tommy Keene! Yeah!

2:59pm groucho:

I second what Marmalade Kitty said.
