Sun. Dec 22nd, 3pm - 5pm:
The Unsolicited Return of the Winter Soul-stice (fill-in for Paul Bruno)
(More info...)
You can't stop the seasons from turning, and you evidently also can't stop an old dog from performing his one old trick. Answering the teeming clamor of one New York Times food columnist
, Gaylord Fields is returning to WFMU's airwaves for a one-off Winter Soul-stice program. In his time away he's learned nothing, so the format will remain the same: two hours of original 1960s soul 45s, and the abuse of an expensive reverb machine for the sake of corny vocal effects.
@kat330: I decided about a minute before my show began that I wanted to play "The Wind," and I'm glad I did. It set the show on its inevitable course for wherever.
Was also watching ice skating routines w/ audio off and a bit of Teenage Wasteland soundtrack instead. So mollusk when moves synch to unintended music. "Beyond the Sea" and "The Boy from NYC" worked especially well.
Philo should be along in a bit. I am getting a special reprieve from kitchen duty tonight. He is preparing some special Finnish feast, keeping it all secret-like, too.
@Gaylord: Your slashes remind me, what the hey does this translate as? /ʃí lə́vz jú jéə jéə jéə ʃí lə́vz jú lɪéə lɪéə lɪéə/ Google Translate wasn't any help.
@kat330: With your kind indulgence, I don't like to share interpretations of my show titles. It's a bit of mystery I'd like to maintain, though there are clues.
@Gaylord @Kat - the building next to me is called the "Gaylord" its old now but you can tell twas majestic.. like you can tell a loott has happened there.. strange.
@Kat thanks! SF used to be home but I am actually passing here for a few days visiting friends (who took my old apt!). I live in Seattle now. Another lovely place

@extinct: thanks
@Fleep: I recognize The Gaylord from the Wilshire District! I think it's in the vicinity of the apartment building that's used as the exterior of "Jerry's" bldg on Seinfeld.
extinct_species: Indeed another. I was first in your lovely hometown for the Seattle World's Fair as a child. Richard Nixon was whisked past us to the front of our very long line to enter the Space Needle.
@Gaylord: He wasn't even holding any office at the time. But my dad had a film camera of the era, so we got Dick on reel. Nice tie-in with watching the latest two installments of Shearer's "Nixon's the One" reenactments on YouTube.
S.b "movie" not "film camera" but not certain of the mm. I was but a child.
@P-90: Oh, very much so, indeed. Space Needle might have been worth the wait, but I recall loving the Telstar exhibit -- the song still evokes great memories.
@UM: Not 100% certain I know that version. But that comet landing was a recent excitement. I have the soundclip of it "singing" and plan to use it in some new music piece.
Ahh, then I definitely don't know it. I realize people singing off-key and badly tuned instruments are a real hoot for people to play at FMU, but I must spin the dial.
@kat that mustve been quite a experience... it's still consistently full of pople at the Space Needle.. specially cuc the museum of music is there now ( dunno if you are familiar)..If you visit i am sure you will find it lovely :)
@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That makes sense. Guy Warren (a.k.a. Kofi Ghanaba, from Ghana) was a pan-Aricanist who plumbed African music from American Jazz to Central and Southern African styles.
- no! - this is the Link I want - but it won't Paste it unless I put a space after the 'http' one needs to remove... :

Thanks for the great last 15 minutes, Gaylord. I'm sure it matched what preceded it.

@extinct_species: Well, I was again in Seattle a bit more recently -- '98 -- and had the chance to appreciate it much more.
