After a few tortured minutes of struggling unsuccessfully to come up with a witty reference to today's playlist theme, I've decided to just give up.
Avatar 5:39pm glenn:

and after they bombed pearl harbour, they gave hawaii spam sushi.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Quitters never win, Gary. Quilters sometimes do, but that is completely different.

Spam sushi is worth starting a war over, glenn.
Avatar 5:46pm glenn:

from your mouth to putin's ear.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:46pm Gary:

Never a blender nor a quilting bee.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:48pm listener james from westwood:

Thirty minutes over Tokyo or the pizza's free.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:49pm Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Put in whose ear?

@Gary
I like what you're Waring!

@LJFW
Thirty pizzas over Tokyo beats a Fat Man and a Little Boy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:55pm listener james from westwood:

Perfect timing: Just finished listening to an archive of a fill-in Inner Ear Detour by the mighty David S.! Banner Tuesday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:56pm Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
I believe those are called Inner Earchives.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:57pm Jeff Golick:

With 6 (pm) we get eggroll?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:57pm listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Perfect!
Pointless fact: Many of the hotels in Downtown Las Vegas cater to a Hawaiian clientele, and therefore advertise Spam-based dishes on their restaurant/coffee shop menus.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:57pm Jeff Golick:

(sorry/notsorry)
Avatar 5:58pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!
Avatar 5:58pm glenn:

huh. really, you would think that hawaii would have lots of casinos, no?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:00pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
That was not egg lol.

Good evening to you, ndbob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug: Tojoke's on you.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm Gary:

I think I can safely star every song in advance
Avatar 6:04pm glenn:

what gary said.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Because, dear Gary, the tracks (at least this one) came from Bodega Pop!

@Jeff Golick
Go listen to a Cubs game and commit Harry Caray.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:07pm Gary:

Maki!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

Didn't you once post 18 Maki albums, Gary?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm Jeff Golick:

HOLY COW.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm Gary:

Today would be the ideal day to start Michael Bourdaghs' Sayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon. (It's been sitting on my shelf for over a year.) And, yes, I think those Makis are still up there
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm listener james from westwood:

@glenn: IIRC Hawaii and Utah are the two states w/ no gaming. You would indeed think they'd have taken advantage of the captive audience. OTOH, with all the cruise ships coming in, there's chips ahoy just offshore.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Anyone wanna upload some broiled eel right about now? Just asking!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm Gary:

Just found & DLed Miami's Tropics ... thanks, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:14pm listener james from westwood:

We in NJ could actually sell Hawaii one of the THREE casinos in Atlantic City going ventral-surface up in the waning days of summer, if they'd like one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

You will love, it Gary. Well...you already are...

Interesting story behind this Tropics record.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:15pm listener james from westwood:

Doug, it's been too darn long since I last hit a Japanese steakhouse, I must say. Instead I'm drinking a mango/banana/kale smoothie that looks like I blent up Kermit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:15pm listener james from westwood:

Yes, I typed "blent." Don't look at me like that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey, nobody blents Kermit on my watch!!

I forget what the interesting story is about The Tropics. One thing I remember is I first downloaded the album at the first great bloglove of my life, Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll: citiesonflamewithrockandroll.blogspot.com...
Avatar 6:17pm glenn:

gambling is tax on people who can't do math. i don't get it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:19pm listener james from westwood:

Hang on, Kermit just passed me a blent. On the left-hand side, even.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:19pm Doug Schulkind:

It was heartbreaking when the blogger at Cities on Flame, a young Dutch fellow, died of cancer. I wrote a eulogy for Dirk on WFMU's blog here: blog.wfmu.org... (Read it with a tissue in hand.)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:19pm Gary:

Oh, man. Doug, the blog owner, Dirk ... did you read about what happened? ...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm Gary:

Going to read it now, Doug -- obviously my last comment posted crossed paths with yours ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:22pm listener james from westwood:

Happy pre-birthday to Dad! Mother of mercy, 95!! Some good genes on both sides of this family.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm listener james from westwood:

Re: Dirk: That is quite thoroughly horrifying. Why do we lose the good ones while the Karl Roves and Donald Trumps still draw air?
Avatar 6:24pm ndbob:

@Doug yep - I remember that well
Avatar 6:27pm northguineahills:

I dare you to find a genre the Japanese haven't attempted and had a rabid fanbase.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Ohmigod I LOVE this Gypsy Blood song much.

@Gary
I will gladly cross paths with you any day.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm Gary:

It's true, NGH. Anyone else been to the Shibuya Tower Records? There are whole WALLS devoted to Japanese ska, rap, etc. There's a store within walking distance of Tower that carries nothing but Japanese reggae.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm Joe McG:

@Doug: This Gypsy Blood is great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

There is also a rather fascinating fan base of Japanese samba enthusiasts.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Gary:

What Joe said
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

Great greetings to you, Joe McG!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm listener james from westwood:

A friend of mine recently returned from Japan, and he posted a shot of a Tower Records. If there's only one Tower in Japan, then he's been to the Shibuya one, the lucky duck.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Doug Schulkind:

I think you will find the title of our next LP to be rather... suggestive.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:34pm Gary:

What are they doing during that other hour?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Shpritzing the Purell?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm Jeff Golick:

This is a very intimate number on headphones.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Doug Schulkind:

I hope they were your headphones, Jeff Golick.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Jeff Golick:

The Japanese embrace of jazz in all of its varied forms is also awe-inspiring.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug S: yeah, my headphones, though I'm happy to share.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:41pm Jeff Golick:

[My cans, one might say.]
Avatar 6:43pm Holly in NC:

Hi Doug & the Dougettes (Dougies?) Anyway, everyone!

Dirk's story always makes me cry.

As for blents. I can only picture this cat smoking a "blent" while craving "fud" ;-)

Holly, that cat is indeed the Conquering Lion.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh Holly, I'm glad you're here! Dirk was my entree to much Japanese pop and rock. Bless him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Did they ever ID the woman in that photo?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Jeff Golick:

That V-J Times Sq kiss i.d. is not confirmed by this less flattering story: www.motherjones.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

The opening of this Kazuki tune always makes me thing of the theme from the Godfather.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:51pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug: here's more on the photo, and the nurse, and, well... more: cratesandribbons.com... Pt. 2: cratesandribbons.com...
Avatar 6:52pm Holly in NC:

@Jeff G - the V-J photo has always creeped me out because it has always struck as non consensual, even when I had no way to articulate that feeling other than "drunken sailor grabs random woman"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm Doug Schulkind:

This killer Go Takao track was included on Rob Lim's (Janitor from Mars) marathon premium a number of years ago. The collection was called "Anthology of Japanese New Folk 1960-1976"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm Gary:

I'm going to go serve the awesome dinner I just made for me & the GF ... this show was one of my favorites, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

There is nothing particularly western about our next (and, sniff sniff, last) track, but I just had—HAD—to play it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

It was a very Bodega Popian show, Gary. Can't wait to taste what you've cooked up for Wednesday evening.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:55pm Jeff Golick:

Off to tend to die Kinder.
Thanks so much, Doug, and bye, all!
Avatar 6:55pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, ndbob. Glad you were here/hear!
Avatar 6:57pm Holly in NC:

Thank you, Doug. Only heard 2 songs, will catch up on archives! xo
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm Doug Schulkind:

XoHollyoX!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks muchly, Doug, for the great Japan mix!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

You are entirely completely and absolutely welcome, Listener James.
Avatar 7:01pm Jeff:

That flew by so quick...
