Why a duck? I dunno, guess the goose was gorged.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm davex:

Ah yes, the rain is here too - all week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm Uncle Michael:

Try the veal!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Parq:

Uncle M, then the Bronx and Staten Island too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm davex:

Is it vealy good?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Parq:

Dave beat me to it.
Avatar ♥ 12:14pm pacific standard simon:

But not on Monday; they serve the re-veal.
Avatar 12:15pm still b/p:

I heard the Egyptians built the pyramids without the use of the veal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm davex:

Thanks, Charlie - sounds great!
Avatar 12:16pm ndbob:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:17pm duke:

Sittin' in the park, doin' nothin'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm duke:

Nice version of Sitting in the Park, but hard to top Billy Stewart
Avatar ♥ 12:20pm pacific standard simon:

We goin' to the bench this early in the game, coach?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:22pm Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Billy Stewart = agreed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Brian in UK:

When suddenly nothing happened.

@Doug Que Seurat, Seurat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Pseu Braun:

I'm benched myself for a bit, so if y'all could scoot over...
Avatar 12:25pm still b/p:

The photo reminds us that Bencho was the least known of the Parx Brothers. However, there was one other brother, MacArtho Parx, who melted when he was young.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:25pm duke:

I think I have a splinter in my butt from this bench
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:26pm Brian in UK:

Zippo was my favourite, never lighten up though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm Brian in UK:

Who's the one on the right next to Harpo?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm duke:

Brother Franco got mixed up in Spanish politics
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:28pm Parq:

¿Still b/p, qué can eat it?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm Charlie:

That's Zeppo.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm Charlie:

Plenty of benches to go around.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm Brian in UK:

That's a Hackenabush.
Avatar ♥ 12:29pm pacific standard simon:

I liked Yakko, but he defected to the competition.
  12:29pm jan:

Hi Charlie- Hot and a bit humid here in NYC, still cool inside- helped by 2 hours of cool music from your stream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30pm Brian in UK:

Not Charlie the other right
Avatar ♥ 12:31pm northguineahills:

Never got around to this Bob Ashley.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm Brian in UK:

No it's Groucho, they all look the same when seated.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm Charlie:

it's amazing, ngh -- disc 2 is songs, disc 1 long spoken-sung monologues, brilliant writing...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:34pm Uncle Michael:

Jorma can really fucking play.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm Parq:

That opera piece was, as the label correctly notes, lovely. And that Jorma just never sounds right without nacho cheese chips ground into the carpet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm duke:

My fav Sonic Youth cut
Avatar ♥ 12:37pm northguineahills:

I was just playing this Monday afternoon for the Memorial day pre-BBQ party.
  12:38pm jan:

Yeah- That Jefferson Airplane album is one that I retained from back in the day when I purchased it at age 15 or so. It's a great sound. What about - taxing my memory, 3/5th of a mile in 10 seconds? Is that the cut?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Uncle Michael:

Back shortly...I am going somewhere....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm Charlie:

this is a good memorial song!
hi jan. yah, that's right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:40pm listener james from westwood:

don't do nothing charlie wouldn't be busy doing, UM!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm Parq:

Pirate Jenny -- so many great performances and so many intriguing translations. This particular one was also recorded ca. 1978 by Steeleye Span.
Avatar ♥ 12:43pm pacific standard simon:

Judy Collins is not someone I would think of in association with this number.
  12:46pm gary mitchell:

you are freeformin' brother
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm listener james from westwood:

i'd only ever heard nina simone's. this one was quite nice and more savage than you usually imagine collins being.
Avatar 12:47pm ndbob:

@Simon - that was actually the first version of Pirate Jenny I heard - from Judy's best LP
Avatar 12:47pm ndbob:

Heya Gary!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:48pm duke:

this is a hella good set
Avatar 12:49pm still b/p:

There ain't a can of Scruff 'n Squalor Spray big enough to transform Judy to Jenny.
Avatar 12:53pm ndbob:

@Charlie agreed re James M Cain
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:00pm Parq:

"Street in the City" gets favorite-starred, yes indeed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Dominick:

Pray for their knickers to fall
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:01pm Charlie:

welcome, Gary
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:01pm Brian in UK:

My baby gives it up totally free.
Avatar ♥ 1:02pm pacific standard simon:

Reading Pete's autobio right now. He says Ronnie Lane was the first person who didn't laugh at him for all that Meher Baba nonsense.
Avatar ♥ 1:03pm Carmichael:

This is a great album. My Baby Gives It Away is my fave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm Charlie:

string arrangement by film composer Edwin Astley
Avatar ♥ 1:05pm Carmichael:

The song Baba O'Riley was named after Meha and Terry Riley. Got that from the bio Simon's reading.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:10pm Brian in UK:

@Carmichael which one of those two is you?
Avatar ♥ 1:11pm Carmichael:

I'm more Professor Irwin Corey.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:11pm Charlie:

simon, carm -- how ya like that pete autobio?
Avatar ♥ 1:13pm Carmichael:

I loved it, Charlie. And I'm not really a big Who fan. Kind of painful though; I'm not sure I would reveal so much about myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:15pm Brian in UK:

That's Pete, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen & stomach all on his sleeve.
Avatar ♥ 1:17pm pacific standard simon:

Interesting, so far... but not really compelling. Yes, Pete, you've had some heartaches and hang-ups in your life... but SO HAVE WE ALL. I'd really appreciate a little more about the music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm listener james from westwood:

that's gonna present a helluva challenge for his dry cleaners
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:18pm Michael:

hey now Charlie and hello everyone. Late to the park party sadly.
Avatar ♥ 1:19pm Carmichael:

No alcohol allowed in public parks, btw.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:20pm davex:

Ah, good to be reminded. People drink everywhere in parks here...
Avatar ♥ 1:24pm pacific standard simon:

BTW, Charlie, I'm afraid we'll have to stop meeting like this. My new job starts Monday, 7AM - 3PM, in a busy kitchen. No more park benches.
Avatar 1:24pm nah:

Thanks for the My Favorite track - love that one!
  1:27pm Listening Out There:

...Vicki 'n Ergo sound good...like the fly buzz...
  1:28pm Listening Out There:

People Like Us = PLU...Flies Like Us = FLU
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:29pm davex:

Simon: Congrats on the new job - you were hoping for that, right?
Avatar ♥ 1:30pm pacific standard simon:

Yes, indeed, dave -- especially the easy commute and health insurance.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:32pm Charlie:

Hi Michael.
Well, congrats on the job, Simon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:32pm davex:

Sounds good - hope it starts off well...
Avatar ♥ 1:34pm Carmichael:

Hope you don't work with Gordon Ramsey, Simon. :-)
Avatar ♥ 1:36pm pacific standard simon:

All my GTDR favorites are taking the hit -- ARCHIVES, though.
@Carmichael - No little Hitlers in my neighborhood.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:37pm Michael:

I wonder if any of the gents in the pic can sing like Chevalier?
Avatar ♥ 1:38pm Carmichael:

Charlie, are you saving up a Groucho song for the grand finale?
Avatar ♥ 1:38pm pacific standard simon:

Of course they can -- they all ARE Chevalier!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:40pm davex:

If the nightingales could sing like them...
Avatar 1:42pm ndbob:

@simon Congrats!
Avatar ♥ 1:44pm northguineahills:

Was Not Was should have done more collaborations, makes for nice artists titles.
  1:45pm Listening Out There:

Years back, I heard a studio-only type of Mel Torme recording. In it, he insults everyone around him, over whatever track he's really trying to record. Ever since, when I hear him, I think of Mel and those insults. Makes the listening more bearable. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:48pm Doug Schulkind:

Mel Tormé has always been my Chicken McNuggets of music. That is, I was the first person never to have Chicken McNuggets and I always assumed I would be the first deejay never to spin Mel Tormé. But your fancy little display, Charlie, has shot that all to hell. (I'm still never having Chicken McNuggets, however.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:49pm Charlie:

Don't eat the nuggets -- have a tuna MelT instead.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:52pm listener james from westwood:

the velvet fog != pink slime.
Avatar ♥ 1:53pm pacific standard simon:

I like Mel well enough, but there's nothing he could sing that I wouldn't prefer sung by Chet Baker.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:55pm Michael:

I saw Mel at the Newport Jazz Fest in Saratoga in the early 80's and he was swingin'. Man.
Avatar 1:55pm ndbob:

nice AK singers song here
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Parq:

<very big grin>
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:56pm listener james from westwood:

that's no marx brother singing!
