Michael from Strange Haze DJs with me tonight at Satellite Lounge. This kind of music....
  3:47pm
philo:

A number of years ago Terre T played her father's favorite record The Five Satins "In The Still Of The Night". It was a very moving moment when she introduced it. It's worth looking back in her archives.
  3:51pm
RC:

Double Live Gonzo was playing on the cassette deck when i had my FIRST car wreck. Don't remember the song, like to think it was great white buffalo, but I was doing my own screaming as the car went in the ditch.

Loving this music.

Philo Gristle:

Hey Mike! Just logged in, missed Bevis Frond, drats! Looks like a great set to catch in the archives. And the bouncy garage tunes work well to Derby visuals (idiotic commentary never worth listening to).
  4:45pm
SteveL:

I find no need to compare WFMU jocks, but NO ONE puts a set together BETTER than Mike Sin!
  4:47pm
kat330:

Didn't get a fill-in notice this time, Mike (see your email ;), so Philo and I dropped by mighty late and by happenstance. We've missed some great stuff but at least can pick it up from here to the end.
  4:52pm

I never knew Bob Dylan used to be in a band...

Derby, Cinco de Mayo, Mike Sin...great combo on a gray day
  4:54pm

@TGO: Traveling Wilbury's ?
@Frenchee: Yep! Just had some nachos and we're right across from the Derby. :)
  4:55pm
KP:

What's the story on the Bloos spelling?
  4:56pm
the glowing one:

@kat330: that's a supergroup, not a band ;-)
  4:56pm
KP:

is that Zimmerman really 2 cds. Thansk
  4:57pm
kat330:

You got me there. :)
  4:58pm
Parq:

Mike, sounding killer, as always. Why don't you, D.A., Kelly and a couple of others start up a 24-hour garage stream? And biggest ups to dear Frenchie, who's looking good, I have no doubt.
  5:01pm
Listener Jumpy from Brooklyn:

Is that the same "Wild About My Lovin'" the Flamin' Groovies did?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:06pm
frenchee:

KP, it might not be. I'll check.
  5:08pm
kat330:

@KP: On the Bloos spelling: I'll hazard a guess the group wanted to match the first word to the Magoos spelling?
  5:08pm
KP:

i ordered it regardless. Mike is right, CDs are cheap enough i can hire someone to listen to them for me.
