	12:03pm duke: I had Joe Belock on the MP3 player and Tony on the popup player. Interesting mix of sounds.
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Happy birthday you younger-than-me old fuck.
	12:05pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Uncle M!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I can see I'm going to need a phrasebook today, Tony.
	12:06pm pacific standard simon: @ Uncle Michael - I shoulda used that one on you.
	🥁 12:08pm listener james from westwood: where can i put this red velvet cake frosted to look like a red vinyl record?
	12:08pm pacific standard simon: Remember, it's not just your birthday... it's the anniversary of the very first time a total stranger touched your junk.
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: Belated greetings, listener james! (where are my manners?)
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: How have I never heard this before?
	12:12pm Tony Coulter: We've been keeping it from you.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I'm trying to figure out how many years it's been since the last time a total stranger touched my junk.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Does Fred Sanford count?
	12:13pm G: @UM: If one doesn't know oneself so well, it could happen quite a lot, really :p
	🥁 12:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ......dig........ dig.......... dig................ diiiiigg.....
	12:14pm northguineahills: Today is a good lazy day to pick up some Indian.
	12:15pm Tony Coulter: Hello there, G, Turnip, and NGH!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Ok, NGH...just don't touch his junk.
	12:16pm DCE: looking into a local chapter of junk touchers anonymous...
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael So I guess I'll be in your current condition this time next year.
	12:18pm DCE: haven't heard this since Krauty stopped doing his show on WCSB
	12:18pm MrFab: northguineahills: are Indians hustling now? Working at call centers doesn't pay enough anymore?
	12:18pm Rich in Washington: I cooked India food last night and now I'm going to have leftovers for lunch
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Schedule your CT scan early. That's my advice.
	12:19pm northguineahills: Been too lazy to cook lately. Need to hit the market this evening as well.
	12:21pm Gaylord Fields: Molto bene, Antonio!
	12:21pm pacific standard simon: They scanned my head once, but they couldn't find anything...
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Gaylord!! Great to see you here....
	12:22pm conrad: @MrFab: boom-tish! (Actually, maybe he DID mean it that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Conrad -- and Mr. Fab!
	12:23pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for making it so cozy here.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: I heard this starting and I just couldn't believe my ears. I'm in the Phil Zone.
	12:24pm DARK STAR MAN: Hey Tony, playing my tune!
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Dark Star Man!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: One of the pr4ceding songs sounded a lot like the beginning of Crazy Fingers...just sayin'.
	12:26pm gerardo: hol tony !!! hello to everybody !
	12:26pm DCE: always loved Jerry's unique, care-free sound
	12:27pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy there, Gerardo!
	12:27pm DARK STAR MAN: as I remember it was around this time that the Dead as well as David Bowie took fictitious retirement? at least from playing live.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, the Dead packed it in till June of '75 at Kezar. (I think I just outed myself)
	12:29pm northguineahills: Somehow missed that Dead album.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: March...too much acid in my youth.
	12:32pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the huge tower of power speaker system at their gigs exhausted the Dead. Bowie was just playing with everybody's mind when he announced in the film gig.
	🥁 12:32pm listener james from westwood: only thing better than that opening set is that we've got 5 or so more sets coming! wow!
	12:34pm DCE: today shall be a good day for music, it is proclaimed
	12:34pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, LJ!
	12:35pm pacific standard simon: Mallard coulda been really big if they'd had consistent singing/songwriting to replace The Captain. Didja know that their first album was backed by Ian Anderson?
	12:36pm DARK STAR MAN: yeh Tony, what a long strange trip it is going to be!
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: Financially backed, you mean? Didn't know, no -- interesting!
	12:37pm pacific standard simon: Loaned them his mobile recording unit, according to Zoot.
	12:37pm DCE: so many great lost bands of that era could have all had their moments
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - OhMan! There's good stuff over here too - ?!?! - Whatsuh perosn to do...I know - Archives...they come up w/ all thew KewlStuff when I'm old & don't trip & have less Time before thee grayve... - Green Icon should be good here... - JoyeuxGeminianSolarReturn DrummerDoug! [...HappyBDay]...
	12:39pm snake: Hell Tony I like this more than Beefheart!
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: For me Mallard's weak link was their vocalist -- hence, I'm playing an instrumental. Heya, Revolution Rabbit!
	12:39pm DARK STAR MAN: did you like that covers album, the Magic Band did a couple of years ago? Personally, thought the BBC live gig they sounded great, but the album was as flat as a pancake. Forget who did the Capt Beefheart vocals on it?
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Snake!
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: John French, maybe?
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: Haven't heard that one....
	12:42pm DARK STAR MAN: Hey Revolution Rabbit Nov63, your profile looks really interesting!
	12:43pm MrFab: Peter Gunn! Yay for beatnik jazz! Yes, 'twas Drumbo on vox. And all those Mallard albums do for me is remind me of how important the Cap'n was...
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: On the other hand, the Beefheart albums of that same period remind me of how important The Magic Band was.
	12:48pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony, this is the album I am talking about - The Magic Band – Back To The Front. Label:ATP Recordings ‎– ATPR6CD Released: Jul 2003
	12:49pm pacific standard simon: Bluejeans and Moonbeams, Unconditionally Guaranteed.... yech!
	12:52pm Tony Coulter: Agreed, PS Simon. Beefheart needed a good band -- but the Magic Band without Beefheart is definitely missing that special spark, as good as they were in their own right.
	12:56pm Tony Coulter: imho, of course....
	12:57pm pacific standard simon: I think they just needed someone who was as dominant as Beefheart, but sounding nothing like Beefheart. Peter Gabriel should have hired them. Something like that.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: There's an Ewok on this track.
	1:02pm DCE: noise!
	1:03pm other eddie: can't...find...volume...control...
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Other E! Don't worry: All things must come to an end.
	1:06pm other eddie: thanks tony. sometimes i need a reminder.
	1:10pm Tony Coulter: This is kind of a secret, so you will have to swallow this comment after you read it, but Mocata is actually Matmos.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: I'm making gazpacho. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: Zendik, on now, is a Ya Ho Wa–like cult group. They worship gazpacho.
	1:16pm Tony Coulter: The vocalist is Wulf Zendik, their Father Yod equivalent.
	1:18pm Tony Coulter: Speaking of which, I will be seeing the "Source Family" documentary tomorrow. Has anyone seen it yet? Any good?
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: This Black to Comm track is a cover of a song by Muriel Dacq -- who I've never heard of.
	1:23pm Dervish: Tony, it feels like this show has been on for three hours already. I mean this as a compliment.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: Hey Dervish! It was that Mr. Mocata -- he hypnotized you and warped your sense of time.
	1:28pm MrFab: Was the Source Family the group Sky Saxon was affiliated with? Amoeba Hollywood had a big Source Family/Yao Ho Wa vinyl section - didn't buy anything cuz i wasn't sure what those records are all about.
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: @ MrFab: Yep, Sky Saxon did get in with those guys. They worshipped dogs, rather than gazpacho. The music is quite good in an avant psych vein, but the vocals of their leader Father Yod are an acquired taste.
	1:32pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the best comparison to to the source family would be Moondog and Sun Ra and his orchestra mixed together and Popul Vuh/Ashra Tenple in the producer's chair?
	1:34pm MrFab: They worshipped dogs?! And I thought cat people were the crazy ones! Amazing description, DSM. Did they have songs about dogs? Because I will march back to Amoeba and buy me some o' that action.
	1:34pm northguineahills: Tony has been in a pop FM vein today, I like it, Mocata, would never make the connection w/ Matmos.
	1:35pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the album cover of Father Yod fucking one of his many wives in the most pornographic cover in the history of rock! (eh a couple of Scorpians albums excepted).
	1:35pm northguineahills: You know you're in the right cult, when your leader dies of a hang gliding accident.
	1:37pm Tony Coulter: I'm being a little facetious about the dog-worshipping thing -- but they did/do have a high opinion of dogs. And why not?
	1:37pm DARK STAR MAN: Father Yod was supposed to be a multi millionaire?
	1:41pm Auto-bahn: I had a beer with Kraftwerk on this tour-they stated their great influence being Stockhausen.
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: Their health food restaurant was super successful. Lots of celebreties ate there, including Brian Wilson.
	1:42pm Tony Coulter: The Source Family's health food restaurant, that is -- not Kraftwerk's. I don't imagine Kraftwerk need to eat at all. (Hola, Auto-bahn.)
	1:42pm DARK STAR MAN: A FINE EXAMPLE OF A HIPPIE COMMUNE.
	🥁 1:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! Had to step out to heed the siren-song of curry, and missed some classic zendik farm-tribe schnizzle.... ah well.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: The goddamned funniest thing just happened. I have records I buy online delivered to me here at my office because I don't trust our rural mailbox with LP boxes, etc. I ordered a desirable 7" record a week or so ago and today, a 12" mailer arrived in my mailbox at work. I thought it was a little weird, as I assumed it would come in a 7" shipper. When I opened it, I was horrified to see a Three Dog Night LP inside. I was just about to contact the guy when I looked inside and spotted the 45 inside a paper sleeve tucked in the LP cover. I gotta give that guy points for one of the best pranks I've ever had pulled on my as a record buyer.
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: Have to put those Three Dog Night records to some use....
	🥁 1:47pm listener james from westwood: well played, online record merchant. well played.
	1:48pm Tony Coulter: By the way, is there a band called Three God Night? If not, there should be.
	1:49pm DARK STAR MAN: Rich, thats funny, I was just thinking how the US never 'progressed' from psyche to prog, like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes etc, when you mention Three Dog Night. Did'nt they have a Jon Anderson like singer?
	1:51pm DARK STAR MAN: no but there is (was) a band called Eleventh Dream Day!
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Wasn't their vocalist a bullfrog?
	1:53pm DARK STAR MAN: a froggy Beaver?
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: Nah, Three Dog Night's vocalist was a bullfrog names Jeremiah.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: "named Jeremiah"
	1:56pm DCE: who really liked the ladies
	1:56pm DARK STAR MAN: Froggy Beaver's album (that you featured a year or so ago) was quite proggy also.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: I really ate this nonsense up when I was 12. Lordy.
	1:58pm DARK STAR MAN: well DCE he sounded like one. Saying that I always equate 3DG with Rush. Only Rush made a stack more money than 3DG ever saw.
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: There's tons of U.S. prog -- was just never commercially viable, except for the Midwesterm semi-prog of Kansas, Styx, et al.
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: "Midwestern" ... ack ... can't type today.
	2:01pm Tony Coulter: "Magneten" -- another fake band name -- is actually Yoshio Machida & Boris Hegenbart.
	2:02pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony I would'nt even call them semi prog! more pop/rock. But see the connection to British bands like Supertramp/10cc etc.
	2:03pm MrFab: I think what DSM was saying was that Euro-prog evolved naturally out of psych, but American prog seemed to come of it's own accord. Speaking of Beefheart, him and Zappa hated psych, and made their version of america prog as a reaction against it.
	2:04pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony - like the David Blumin premiums you have been playing, would his shows be of interest to heads!
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: Dixie Dregs. Fusion often sounded like the American version of Prog.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: Yep, Daniel B.'s shows are indeed head-suitable.
	2:07pm DARK STAR MAN: that s true PSS Us had great Jazz Rock bands, Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Romantic Warrior etc. Could be argued as great as prog.
	2:07pm Tony Coulter: For me, the two best American prog bands are The Muffins and The Rascal Reporters.
	2:09pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony, can't beat Thinking Plague - the most perfect RIO prog band from the US ever!
	2:09pm Rich in Washington: I went for a walk. It's as if that Discogs seller knew that I loathe Three Dog Night.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: To all people in the NW areola, Blue Oyster Cult will be playing the Clark County Fair this summer.
	2:11pm pacific standard simon: Sometimes I think Van Dyke Parks invented Prog.
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: I'm in the NW areola -- maybe I'll nip over there.
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Other times, The Grateful Dead.
	2:17pm 70's prog greats: After Zappa/Beefheart I started to admire Pere UBU /Residents. Ralph Records & Clev. scenes.
	2:19pm Tony Coulter: All of those are great, for sure -- but I wouldn't call them prog, except in the loosest sense. (Including Beefheart and Zappa.)
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: This show is the spice in my gazpach, Tony.
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: My court-mandated Finnish track....
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: @ Uncle Michael: Hope it doesn't give you gas....
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I'm into post-shaggs rock.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: Then there's Farewell Aldebaran by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester.
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: Prog? Not Prog? Just plain weird?
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Just really good.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: My Proggy Pony
	2:36pm Progressive music/muse: What is the definition?
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: Umm -- that's a tough one. The definition has certainly narrowed over the years.
	2:38pm pacific standard simon: Pluck your magic twanger, Proggy!
	2:41pm MrFab: What the Stone's weirdest/most embarrasing song? Is there a "Laughing Gnome" in their closet somewhere?
	2:41pm DCE: sounded a bit like Moby Grape
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: In their case, it's an album.
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: I think that's the problem, Tony -- the point of Prog was supposed to be its inclusiveness. I still count Sandy Bull as Prog.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I thought the point of Prog was the high-brow aspirations.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: In the sense that it has anything to do with symphonic composition utilizing a rock sonic palette, Zappa beat most everyone to the first turn. Too bad about all the dick and poo poo jokes.
	🥁 2:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: PREEEEETTEEEEEE THINGS!!!! Brilliance. Cheers. All things yay.
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: You could look at it that way, UM, but anytime you start including anything outside of low-brow rock into rock, it's going to look like aspiring to something above yourself.
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: These days, prog is a style rather than an attitude, I think.
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: I too tend to lump stuff like Prog, RIO, Kraut, Avant Rock (Residents, etc.) together. Probably because I was raised on radio that did that, played all that stuff together. It seemed nameless, not tagged and classified as much.
	🥁 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: What Rich said. Meetu.
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: We get hung up on sticking things in little cubbyholes until we have to create new cubbyholes.
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: Listeners to this show are free to label or not label anything as they see fit.
	2:55pm MrFab: I remember the old Rolling Stone Encyclopdia had a chapter on "Art Rock" that included everything from Eno to Kansas.
	2:55pm DCE: I label this show as "successful"!
	🥁 2:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I discovered a huge world of multiple obscure sub-sub-sub genres at the same time (age 11, thanks to the record-collection of a well-versed relative) so I grew up just calling all of it "underground" & figured that was classification enough.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: No progs were harmed in the making of this production.
	2:58pm Corporate logos: The American an sewer?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Wonderful show, Tony.
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: Oops -- guess I'll be running over a bit in under to back-announce this set.
	3:00pm Tony Coulter: "in under" ... Cheese-us ... I mean, "in order." Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: The way Alex' voice is in back of the guitar on this just kills me. So beautiful.
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Good one, Tone.... and, again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG!!!
	🥁 3:01pm listener james from westwood: glorious show, tony! thanks!!
	3:04pm DARK STAR MAN: I just don't think that the background of most US rock bands of the late 60s leant themselves easily to Orchestral classical music as say Pink Floyd, Deep Purple were signed to labels that could easily get them whole Orchestras to play with them. After all Neil Young had to come to the UK to get an Orcheatra to play on Harvest - Discuss!
	3:05pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! See you next week....
	3:35pm G: I missed prog soundage, and a prog discussion to boot, while doing banal but requisite lifemaintenance errands??? JUST. MY. LUCK. :p archive time...

	12:03pm duke: I had Joe Belock on the MP3 player and Tony on the popup player. Interesting mix of sounds.
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Happy birthday you younger-than-me old fuck.
	12:05pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Uncle M!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I can see I'm going to need a phrasebook today, Tony.
	12:06pm pacific standard simon: @ Uncle Michael - I shoulda used that one on you.
	🥁 12:08pm listener james from westwood: where can i put this red velvet cake frosted to look like a red vinyl record?
	12:08pm pacific standard simon: Remember, it's not just your birthday... it's the anniversary of the very first time a total stranger touched your junk.
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: Belated greetings, listener james! (where are my manners?)
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: How have I never heard this before?
	12:12pm Tony Coulter: We've been keeping it from you.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I'm trying to figure out how many years it's been since the last time a total stranger touched my junk.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Does Fred Sanford count?
	12:13pm G: @UM: If one doesn't know oneself so well, it could happen quite a lot, really :p
	🥁 12:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ......dig........ dig.......... dig................ diiiiigg.....
	12:14pm northguineahills: Today is a good lazy day to pick up some Indian.
	12:15pm Tony Coulter: Hello there, G, Turnip, and NGH!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Ok, NGH...just don't touch his junk.
	12:16pm DCE: looking into a local chapter of junk touchers anonymous...
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael So I guess I'll be in your current condition this time next year.
	12:18pm DCE: haven't heard this since Krauty stopped doing his show on WCSB
	12:18pm MrFab: northguineahills: are Indians hustling now? Working at call centers doesn't pay enough anymore?
	12:18pm Rich in Washington: I cooked India food last night and now I'm going to have leftovers for lunch
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Schedule your CT scan early. That's my advice.
	12:19pm northguineahills: Been too lazy to cook lately. Need to hit the market this evening as well.
	12:21pm Gaylord Fields: Molto bene, Antonio!
	12:21pm pacific standard simon: They scanned my head once, but they couldn't find anything...
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Gaylord!! Great to see you here....
	12:22pm conrad: @MrFab: boom-tish! (Actually, maybe he DID mean it that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Conrad -- and Mr. Fab!
	12:23pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for making it so cozy here.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: I heard this starting and I just couldn't believe my ears. I'm in the Phil Zone.
	12:24pm DARK STAR MAN: Hey Tony, playing my tune!
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Dark Star Man!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: One of the pr4ceding songs sounded a lot like the beginning of Crazy Fingers...just sayin'.
	12:26pm gerardo: hol tony !!! hello to everybody !
	12:26pm DCE: always loved Jerry's unique, care-free sound
	12:27pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy there, Gerardo!
	12:27pm DARK STAR MAN: as I remember it was around this time that the Dead as well as David Bowie took fictitious retirement? at least from playing live.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, the Dead packed it in till June of '75 at Kezar. (I think I just outed myself)
	12:29pm northguineahills: Somehow missed that Dead album.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: March...too much acid in my youth.
	12:32pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the huge tower of power speaker system at their gigs exhausted the Dead. Bowie was just playing with everybody's mind when he announced in the film gig.
	🥁 12:32pm listener james from westwood: only thing better than that opening set is that we've got 5 or so more sets coming! wow!
	12:34pm DCE: today shall be a good day for music, it is proclaimed
	12:34pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, LJ!
	12:35pm pacific standard simon: Mallard coulda been really big if they'd had consistent singing/songwriting to replace The Captain. Didja know that their first album was backed by Ian Anderson?
	12:36pm DARK STAR MAN: yeh Tony, what a long strange trip it is going to be!
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: Financially backed, you mean? Didn't know, no -- interesting!
	12:37pm pacific standard simon: Loaned them his mobile recording unit, according to Zoot.
	12:37pm DCE: so many great lost bands of that era could have all had their moments
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - OhMan! There's good stuff over here too - ?!?! - Whatsuh perosn to do...I know - Archives...they come up w/ all thew KewlStuff when I'm old & don't trip & have less Time before thee grayve... - Green Icon should be good here... - JoyeuxGeminianSolarReturn DrummerDoug! [...HappyBDay]...
	12:39pm snake: Hell Tony I like this more than Beefheart!
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: For me Mallard's weak link was their vocalist -- hence, I'm playing an instrumental. Heya, Revolution Rabbit!
	12:39pm DARK STAR MAN: did you like that covers album, the Magic Band did a couple of years ago? Personally, thought the BBC live gig they sounded great, but the album was as flat as a pancake. Forget who did the Capt Beefheart vocals on it?
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Snake!
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: John French, maybe?
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: Haven't heard that one....
	12:42pm DARK STAR MAN: Hey Revolution Rabbit Nov63, your profile looks really interesting!
	12:43pm MrFab: Peter Gunn! Yay for beatnik jazz! Yes, 'twas Drumbo on vox. And all those Mallard albums do for me is remind me of how important the Cap'n was...
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: On the other hand, the Beefheart albums of that same period remind me of how important The Magic Band was.
	12:48pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony, this is the album I am talking about - The Magic Band – Back To The Front. Label:ATP Recordings ‎– ATPR6CD Released: Jul 2003
	12:49pm pacific standard simon: Bluejeans and Moonbeams, Unconditionally Guaranteed.... yech!
	12:52pm Tony Coulter: Agreed, PS Simon. Beefheart needed a good band -- but the Magic Band without Beefheart is definitely missing that special spark, as good as they were in their own right.
	12:56pm Tony Coulter: imho, of course....
	12:57pm pacific standard simon: I think they just needed someone who was as dominant as Beefheart, but sounding nothing like Beefheart. Peter Gabriel should have hired them. Something like that.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: There's an Ewok on this track.
	1:02pm DCE: noise!
	1:03pm other eddie: can't...find...volume...control...
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Other E! Don't worry: All things must come to an end.
	1:06pm other eddie: thanks tony. sometimes i need a reminder.
	1:10pm Tony Coulter: This is kind of a secret, so you will have to swallow this comment after you read it, but Mocata is actually Matmos.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: I'm making gazpacho. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: Zendik, on now, is a Ya Ho Wa–like cult group. They worship gazpacho.
	1:16pm Tony Coulter: The vocalist is Wulf Zendik, their Father Yod equivalent.
	1:18pm Tony Coulter: Speaking of which, I will be seeing the "Source Family" documentary tomorrow. Has anyone seen it yet? Any good?
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: This Black to Comm track is a cover of a song by Muriel Dacq -- who I've never heard of.
	1:23pm Dervish: Tony, it feels like this show has been on for three hours already. I mean this as a compliment.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: Hey Dervish! It was that Mr. Mocata -- he hypnotized you and warped your sense of time.
	1:28pm MrFab: Was the Source Family the group Sky Saxon was affiliated with? Amoeba Hollywood had a big Source Family/Yao Ho Wa vinyl section - didn't buy anything cuz i wasn't sure what those records are all about.
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: @ MrFab: Yep, Sky Saxon did get in with those guys. They worshipped dogs, rather than gazpacho. The music is quite good in an avant psych vein, but the vocals of their leader Father Yod are an acquired taste.
	1:32pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the best comparison to to the source family would be Moondog and Sun Ra and his orchestra mixed together and Popul Vuh/Ashra Tenple in the producer's chair?
	1:34pm MrFab: They worshipped dogs?! And I thought cat people were the crazy ones! Amazing description, DSM. Did they have songs about dogs? Because I will march back to Amoeba and buy me some o' that action.
	1:34pm northguineahills: Tony has been in a pop FM vein today, I like it, Mocata, would never make the connection w/ Matmos.
	1:35pm DARK STAR MAN: I think the album cover of Father Yod fucking one of his many wives in the most pornographic cover in the history of rock! (eh a couple of Scorpians albums excepted).
	1:35pm northguineahills: You know you're in the right cult, when your leader dies of a hang gliding accident.
	1:37pm Tony Coulter: I'm being a little facetious about the dog-worshipping thing -- but they did/do have a high opinion of dogs. And why not?
	1:37pm DARK STAR MAN: Father Yod was supposed to be a multi millionaire?
	1:41pm Auto-bahn: I had a beer with Kraftwerk on this tour-they stated their great influence being Stockhausen.
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: Their health food restaurant was super successful. Lots of celebreties ate there, including Brian Wilson.
	1:42pm Tony Coulter: The Source Family's health food restaurant, that is -- not Kraftwerk's. I don't imagine Kraftwerk need to eat at all. (Hola, Auto-bahn.)
	1:42pm DARK STAR MAN: A FINE EXAMPLE OF A HIPPIE COMMUNE.
	🥁 1:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! Had to step out to heed the siren-song of curry, and missed some classic zendik farm-tribe schnizzle.... ah well.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: The goddamned funniest thing just happened. I have records I buy online delivered to me here at my office because I don't trust our rural mailbox with LP boxes, etc. I ordered a desirable 7" record a week or so ago and today, a 12" mailer arrived in my mailbox at work. I thought it was a little weird, as I assumed it would come in a 7" shipper. When I opened it, I was horrified to see a Three Dog Night LP inside. I was just about to contact the guy when I looked inside and spotted the 45 inside a paper sleeve tucked in the LP cover. I gotta give that guy points for one of the best pranks I've ever had pulled on my as a record buyer.
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: Have to put those Three Dog Night records to some use....
	🥁 1:47pm listener james from westwood: well played, online record merchant. well played.
	1:48pm Tony Coulter: By the way, is there a band called Three God Night? If not, there should be.
	1:49pm DARK STAR MAN: Rich, thats funny, I was just thinking how the US never 'progressed' from psyche to prog, like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes etc, when you mention Three Dog Night. Did'nt they have a Jon Anderson like singer?
	1:51pm DARK STAR MAN: no but there is (was) a band called Eleventh Dream Day!
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Wasn't their vocalist a bullfrog?
	1:53pm DARK STAR MAN: a froggy Beaver?
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: Nah, Three Dog Night's vocalist was a bullfrog names Jeremiah.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: "named Jeremiah"
	1:56pm DCE: who really liked the ladies
	1:56pm DARK STAR MAN: Froggy Beaver's album (that you featured a year or so ago) was quite proggy also.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: I really ate this nonsense up when I was 12. Lordy.
	1:58pm DARK STAR MAN: well DCE he sounded like one. Saying that I always equate 3DG with Rush. Only Rush made a stack more money than 3DG ever saw.
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: There's tons of U.S. prog -- was just never commercially viable, except for the Midwesterm semi-prog of Kansas, Styx, et al.
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: "Midwestern" ... ack ... can't type today.
	2:01pm Tony Coulter: "Magneten" -- another fake band name -- is actually Yoshio Machida & Boris Hegenbart.
	2:02pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony I would'nt even call them semi prog! more pop/rock. But see the connection to British bands like Supertramp/10cc etc.
	2:03pm MrFab: I think what DSM was saying was that Euro-prog evolved naturally out of psych, but American prog seemed to come of it's own accord. Speaking of Beefheart, him and Zappa hated psych, and made their version of america prog as a reaction against it.
	2:04pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony - like the David Blumin premiums you have been playing, would his shows be of interest to heads!
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: Dixie Dregs. Fusion often sounded like the American version of Prog.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: @ Dark Star Man: Yep, Daniel B.'s shows are indeed head-suitable.
	2:07pm DARK STAR MAN: that s true PSS Us had great Jazz Rock bands, Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Romantic Warrior etc. Could be argued as great as prog.
	2:07pm Tony Coulter: For me, the two best American prog bands are The Muffins and The Rascal Reporters.
	2:09pm DARK STAR MAN: Tony, can't beat Thinking Plague - the most perfect RIO prog band from the US ever!
	2:09pm Rich in Washington: I went for a walk. It's as if that Discogs seller knew that I loathe Three Dog Night.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: To all people in the NW areola, Blue Oyster Cult will be playing the Clark County Fair this summer.
	2:11pm pacific standard simon: Sometimes I think Van Dyke Parks invented Prog.
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: I'm in the NW areola -- maybe I'll nip over there.
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Other times, The Grateful Dead.
	2:17pm 70's prog greats: After Zappa/Beefheart I started to admire Pere UBU /Residents. Ralph Records & Clev. scenes.
	2:19pm Tony Coulter: All of those are great, for sure -- but I wouldn't call them prog, except in the loosest sense. (Including Beefheart and Zappa.)
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: This show is the spice in my gazpach, Tony.
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: My court-mandated Finnish track....
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: @ Uncle Michael: Hope it doesn't give you gas....
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I'm into post-shaggs rock.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: Then there's Farewell Aldebaran by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester.
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: Prog? Not Prog? Just plain weird?
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Just really good.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: My Proggy Pony
	2:36pm Progressive music/muse: What is the definition?
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: Umm -- that's a tough one. The definition has certainly narrowed over the years.
	2:38pm pacific standard simon: Pluck your magic twanger, Proggy!
	2:41pm MrFab: What the Stone's weirdest/most embarrasing song? Is there a "Laughing Gnome" in their closet somewhere?
	2:41pm DCE: sounded a bit like Moby Grape
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: In their case, it's an album.
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: I think that's the problem, Tony -- the point of Prog was supposed to be its inclusiveness. I still count Sandy Bull as Prog.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I thought the point of Prog was the high-brow aspirations.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: In the sense that it has anything to do with symphonic composition utilizing a rock sonic palette, Zappa beat most everyone to the first turn. Too bad about all the dick and poo poo jokes.
	🥁 2:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: PREEEEETTEEEEEE THINGS!!!! Brilliance. Cheers. All things yay.
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: You could look at it that way, UM, but anytime you start including anything outside of low-brow rock into rock, it's going to look like aspiring to something above yourself.
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: These days, prog is a style rather than an attitude, I think.
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: I too tend to lump stuff like Prog, RIO, Kraut, Avant Rock (Residents, etc.) together. Probably because I was raised on radio that did that, played all that stuff together. It seemed nameless, not tagged and classified as much.
	🥁 2:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: What Rich said. Meetu.
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: We get hung up on sticking things in little cubbyholes until we have to create new cubbyholes.
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: Listeners to this show are free to label or not label anything as they see fit.
	2:55pm MrFab: I remember the old Rolling Stone Encyclopdia had a chapter on "Art Rock" that included everything from Eno to Kansas.
	2:55pm DCE: I label this show as "successful"!
	🥁 2:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I discovered a huge world of multiple obscure sub-sub-sub genres at the same time (age 11, thanks to the record-collection of a well-versed relative) so I grew up just calling all of it "underground" & figured that was classification enough.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: No progs were harmed in the making of this production.
	2:58pm Corporate logos: The American an sewer?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Wonderful show, Tony.
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: Oops -- guess I'll be running over a bit in under to back-announce this set.
	3:00pm Tony Coulter: "in under" ... Cheese-us ... I mean, "in order." Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: The way Alex' voice is in back of the guitar on this just kills me. So beautiful.
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Good one, Tone.... and, again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG!!!
	🥁 3:01pm listener james from westwood: glorious show, tony! thanks!!
	3:04pm DARK STAR MAN: I just don't think that the background of most US rock bands of the late 60s leant themselves easily to Orchestral classical music as say Pink Floyd, Deep Purple were signed to labels that could easily get them whole Orchestras to play with them. After all Neil Young had to come to the UK to get an Orcheatra to play on Harvest - Discuss!
	3:05pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! See you next week....
	3:35pm G: I missed prog soundage, and a prog discussion to boot, while doing banal but requisite lifemaintenance errands??? JUST. MY. LUCK. :p archive time...
