Listener comments!
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Live recording this week!
	3:01pm Sarah N: Hello LJFW!
	3:04pm Peter Nelson: Hi James
	3:07pm Doug Schulkind: Almost sounds like the voice Thurl Ravenscroft being sampled!
	3:08pm Peter Nelson: The pic this week is my happy place in Samoa. My body hasn't been there yet......this time round.
	3:08pm Ryan: Hi Peter!
	3:08pm Peter Nelson: Hey Doug!
	3:09pm Sarah N: Grrrrrrrrrreat to see you Doug! Hello Ryan.
	3:10pm Peter Nelson: Hi Ryan. Welcome.
	3:11pm Dean: Got an irresistible urge to light up, and I don't even like marijuana.
	3:11pm Sarah N: Presumably Thurl is no relation of John Ravenscroft aka Peel....
	3:12pm Peter Nelson: Hi Dean...yup...stoner rock. Likewise.
	3:12pm Sarah N: Go for it Dean!
	3:12pm Dean: So that's what "High on Fire" means!
	3:13pm Sarah N: 100% rock! Oh yeah.
	3:14pm Sarah N: Oh and Hawkwind have just shown up too....
	3:15pm Doug Schulkind: @Sarah N Thurl was from Nebraska.
	3:26pm Sarah N: aha...from 'Cold Moon' to 'Dust and Stars'...
	3:32pm Peter Nelson: "Dead Rat Orchestra presents a soundtrack to the film ‘Tyburnia: A Radical History Of 600 Years Of Public Execution’ by James Holcombe. The film explores parallels between contemporary and historical notions of crime in relation to business and property, the spectacular nature of punishment and the use of the body as a site for political control."
	3:36pm Dean: For extra credit, read yesterday's SCOTUS opinion in Mullenix v. Luna.
	3:40pm Doug Schulkind: Speaking of public executions, I came upon two facts when poking around for a theme for today's Give the Drummer Some. (1) On this date in 1580 the English Army beheaded 600 Papal soldiers and civilians at Dún an Óir, Ireland. (2) On this date in 1865, the United States hanged for the committing of war crimes, Major Henry Wirz, the superintendent of a prison camp in Andersonville, Georgia: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:40pm Doug Schulkind: Blessedly, my GTDS this evening will not be wallowing in public execution lore.
	3:42pm Brian in UK: We love killing each other, Doug. If you are thinking of spoiling the fun. THINK AGAIN.
	3:42pm Dean: And on this date in 2015 I didn't get much sleep.
	3:43pm Brian in UK: Lawks, my manners. Hello Peter 'n Sarah.
	3:43pm Peter Nelson: Thanks Doug. That is interesting. Here's another interesting fact. The London residence of British ex-prime minster, mass murderer and war criminal Tony Blair is a few doors down from the site of the Tyburn gallows in Cavendish Square.
	3:44pm Peter Nelson: Hello Brian.
	3:44pm Sarah N: Hello Brian - what a great entrance!
	3:44pm Brian in UK: Right by where Fenella Fielding used to live.
	3:45pm Dean: "Ex-prime minister" nicely echoes "ex-parrot."
	3:45pm Peter Nelson: Truly Brian? Small world.
	3:45pm Sarah N: It's almost an anagram - TyBlairnia!
	3:45pm Brian in UK: Do you mean Connaught Square?
	3:46pm Doug Schulkind: No rats were harmed during the making of this entertainment. @Peter Nelson Please don't use offensive language ("Tony Blair") in the company of the decent .
	3:46pm Peter Nelson: Ah...Brian...I believe you are right. My faux pas.
	3:47pm Brian in UK: He professes to be a christian too.
	3:48pm Peter Nelson: The fucker Blair should be strung up by his balls for crimes against Socialism! We expect Tories to be cunts....but him!!!
	3:48pm Dean: You needn't resort to euphemism, Peter, among friends.
	3:49pm Peter Nelson: Yeah, well...Christians. Historically such a peaceful religion.
	3:50pm Brian in UK: It seems to leave a more bitter taste in the mouth than that of our beloved Margaret of Grantham. You knew what you were getting there. Should have sussed NEW Labour.
	3:51pm Peter Nelson: That was the last time I voted, getting that bunch in the first time. Never again. Such a feeling of betrayal.
	3:53pm Brian in UK: Do you follow 38 Degrees?
	3:54pm Peter Nelson: The guest is Thierry Amar on double bass from Godspeed.
	3:54pm Peter Nelson: @Brian. Don't know what you mean.
	3:55pm Brian in UK: Was this the gig where the support were bestest? home.38degrees.org.uk
	3:57pm Peter Nelson: I'll read that later.
	3:59pm Brian in UK: It is a small attempt to keep politicains (& others) honest, honest. Go to cut out.
	4:01pm Sarah N: I've heard of them Brian. Wow, I've also just been reading about the Arrest Blair Campaign: www.arrestblair.org.
	4:02pm Dean: Shoot, missed the hoqueting tune. Lots of fun early hockets, and some alter ones, too.
	4:03pm Dean: *older
	4:08pm Peter Nelson: I grabbed this from youtube. Sounds too slow. Anyone know this version?
	4:08pm Dean: This song might sound better if performed by, say, Iris DeMent. Or not.
	4:09pm Peter Nelson: On a sound system this bass is body-shaking. I know this from personal experience.
	4:13pm Dean: My vote's for the original. Unless the bass I'm missing is really that good. (I recall a show in a small venue by Augustus Pablo. That was body-shaking bass.)
	4:15pm Peter Nelson: @ Dean.Surely not????? It's awful!
	4:18pm Dean: The reggae version felt half-hearted. (Again, maybe the bass is the kicker.) I could hear DeMent delivering the original more or less faithfully. Maybe, too, the relative brevity of the original was to its credit.
	4:18pm Dean: And stop calling me Shirley.
	4:19pm Sarah N: Hurrah for differing tastes!
	4:20pm Doug Schulkind: I have a lovely cover of Sad Movies by the Brazilian sister act Trio Esperança. They call it "Filme Triste."
	4:21pm Peter Nelson: @ Doug. I would love to hear that.
	4:22pm Sarah N: I was just reading about that one Doug. Boney M also did a version in 1981!
	4:22pm Dean: Yow. Almost 3/4 million views on YT!
	4:23pm Dean: Well over a million if you combine the multiple posts.
	4:26pm Dean: The Thompson tune is sampled (and appropriated for a title) here by Orca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eE4qwz8MKY
	4:31pm Doug Schulkind: @Peter Nelson It's in your email in-box!
	4:31pm Peter Nelson: Ooooh, thanks Doug
	4:33pm Peter Nelson: Your Latin pics are usually wonderful.
	4:35pm Gary: Hola!
	4:35pm Peter Nelson: Hola you too Gary
	4:47pm Sarah N: Hi Gary!
	4:49pm Melinder: I could've listened to that for another hour. Or three.
	4:50pm Gary: "For the weekend" ... :)
	4:50pm Sarah N: Me too Melinder!
	4:54pm Doug Schulkind: GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... Today is the 87th birthday of the sublime Ennio Morricone. This evening's Give the Drummer Some is throwing a party! Gorgeous and gobsmacking selections await you, 6-7pm (eastern) here on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	4:54pm Peter Nelson: Hello Melinder. Plenty more mixes to download from my site, or stream at Mixcloud..."Coseyhead"
	4:58pm Peter Nelson: What, Doug....gorgeous and gobsmacking tunes?.....business as usual, then.
	5:01pm Doug Schulkind: Gobgorgsmakeous!
	5:01pm Peter Nelson: Try saying that after a couple of rums.
	5:03pm Sarah N: A smgörgeousbord!
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: Always a fun listen, Peter, and thanks for the Dead Rat Orch!
	5:06pm Doug Schulkind: Rat on rat on!
	5:08pm Sarah N: You is radio pundit Mr Dougeous!
	5:08pm Peter Nelson: You're welcome James. Thanks for listening.
	5:09pm Sarah N: And thank you Mr EMFABulous DJ (aka 'im indoors) x
	5:11pm Parq: Okay, I am an unapologetic sucker for "Dark Side", so enjoying this quite a bit.
	5:12pm Dean: A sucker here, too, for DSOTM, albeit an apologetic one. But, yeah, this is happening. Can't wait to hear the "Great Gig" section.
	5:13pm Peter Nelson: Hi Parq. Me too. And 'Wish You Were Here', actually. Headphones under the bed clothes as a youngster.
	5:15pm Parq: I'm in a car with my kid, with my iPod on shuffle. "Money" comes up. Kid: Dad, could you turn that down a little? Me: No. Sorry.
	5:16pm Peter Nelson: I've got a chip version of this too, which is pretty amazing. The dub version, however,...'Dub Side Of The Moon...could be better. @Parq. Turn it up!!!!
	5:17pm Doug Schulkind: Tough love, Parq.
	5:18pm Dean: My response to my kids would be more along the lines of, "Yes, I could. But I won't."
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Heh, STILL listening and glad I am! I blow hot and cold on mixes of the classics but this one is very artfully done. The Floyd DNA is still quite vibrant.
	5:21pm Peter Nelson: Subtle, isn't it. Mostly intact...just punched and looped here and there. Remixed, rather than covered.
	5:22pm Parq: Dean, no, that misses the key point. When you're about to listen to the greatest guitar solo in all of radio-saturated classic rock, you just can't turn it down.
	5:25pm Peter Nelson: Top of the album charts for years...millions of copies sold....we've all heard it over and over and over again...but ain't it wonderful?
	5:26pm Dean: When you put it that way, Parq, I see your point. Funny: I'd never thought of that particular guitar solo as a GUITAR SOLO! I've always dug the ensemble, and its acceleration toward frenzy. The guitar part has always been one equal part. But, dang, it IS a guitar solo!
	5:27pm Doug Schulkind: Acceleration Toward Frenzy. Another great radio show name.
	5:28pm Peter Nelson: Catchy.
	5:28pm Dean: Featuring your DJ, Biff Speedlight.
	5:29pm Peter Nelson: YOU'RE A BUNCH OF OLD HIPPIES. More comments about this than any other bit of the show toinght.
	5:31pm Dean: Well, we did commence the comments (rhyme?) riffing on weed, didn't we?
	5:32pm Peter Nelson: We did...we did. Me too...old hippie...fair cop.
	5:36pm Parq: Weed? Funny, PN's show always makes me think it's late night in a dark lounge with black lacquer fixtures and neon highlights, and a flawless rye Manhattan sitting on the bar in an exotic glass.
	5:37pm Peter Nelson: Oh Parq, that's beautiful. Perfect.
	5:39pm Peter Nelson: If it wasn't for the time difference I'd be doing a late night show.
	5:40pm listener james from westwood: There's a lot of what the US radio market calls "classic rock" that no longer resonates for me, from overexposure, but this album isn't in that group. Always in for a spin. I'm a bit burnt out on "The Wall," though.
	5:40pm Peter Nelson: So, will you all be listening to the original later tonight?
	5:42pm Peter Nelson: This astonishing piano concerto was composed between 1929 and 1931, and was first performed by Marguerite Long, with Ravel conducting the Orchestre Lamoureux, in January 1932. You might notice references to Gershwin in the 1st movement, and you would be right. Ravel toured the US in 1928 and said "The most captivating part of jazz is its rich and diverting rhythm. ...Jazz is a very rich and vital source of inspiration for modern composers and I am astonished that so few Americans are influenced by it." Ravel said that the initial theme came to him on a train journey in England. This performance of music by a French composer, with English and American influences, is played by a Chinese pianist with a Japanese conductor and a German orchestra.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: If Jesse Kaminsky plays it, yes :-)
	5:43pm Dean: Probably not, but maybe "Meddle." My LP of DSOTM is a Mobile Fidelity remaster in a nice rigid sleeve. With kids to get to bed, I don't want to be fumbling with the vinyl. I don't know this recording of the Ravel, but the piece is just glorious.
	5:44pm listener james from westwood: I'm with Doug; Jesse until bedtime!
	5:45pm Charlie: Hello Peter, all. Sorry I missed the DRO, looking forward to the archive. Tuned in just in time for Ravel! Big fan of Maurice.
	5:47pm Peter Nelson: Dean, you're musical knowledge is astonishing. Yes, this version is quite something. I've got about 4 different recordings...listened to more...and Li is my favourite. So precise, which is appropriate for a composer nicknamed 'the Swiss watchmaker of music' by Stravinsky.
	5:47pm Peter Nelson: Hello Charlie.
	5:48pm Charlie: I like pianists who play romantic and impressionist music precisely. The music already has so much eomtional expansiveness built into it.
	5:49pm Peter Nelson: Turn up the volume for this movement.
	5:52pm Peter Nelson: It took Ravel 2 years to write this masterpiece, and all most people know is that bloody 'Bolero'.
	5:53pm northguineahills: Loving the Ravel!
	5:53pm Peter Nelson: Hi ngh.
	5:54pm Dean: Thanks, Peter, but really, my musical knowledge is patchy. I add to it daily thanks to WFMU, though. I will look for this recording. "Precision" is certainly an expected, perhaps characteristic, quality in good French classical music. I adore Tharaud, but I don't think he has recorded this. But I don't mind overstatement and pseudo-romantic gushing from time to time, either. Setting my gain to onze. There's another radio show name, Doug: Bloody Bolero.
	5:54pm Doug Schulkind: Because there is just so much eomtion one can take, eh Charlie?!
	5:55pm redkayak: Sounding good out here in the Imperial Midwest :)
	5:56pm Doug Schulkind: @Pedro I played the mental-health challenging snare drum part for Bolero with my high school orchestra. Still not fully healed, 35+ years later.
	5:56pm Charlie: @Doug, you know I'm more Apollonian than Dionysian at heart :)
	5:57pm Peter Nelson: @Dean. Tharaud...no, I haven't seen a version by him. Rameau, yes, and Chabrier....got some of him there.
	5:57pm Doug Schulkind: Dionysus & the Belmonts!
	5:58pm Dean: Listened last weekend to some of Tharaud's Chabrier!
	5:58pm Peter Nelson: Hi redkayak. Welcome.
	5:59pm Peter Nelson: @Charlie....really...and I thought you were such a pussy cat puddle of feeling.
	6:00pm Doug Schulkind: How much left of this lovely number, Pete?
	6:01pm Peter Nelson: 1 minute overlap Doug.
	6:01pm Peter Nelson: Make that 1.5.
	6:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks again, Peter!
	6:02pm Parq: And on that note, I gotta step away for a bit. Killer show, PN.
	6:02pm Peter Nelson: That's it folks. Over to Doug.
	6:02pm northguineahills: Thanks Peter, groovy!
	6:02pm Doug Schulkind: Wunnerful!
	6:03pm Charlie: everything in moderation, including excess...
	6:03pm Charlie: thanks, Peter!
	6:03pm Peter Nelson: Well....I am delighted how many people dig the classical shit.

	5:05pm listener james from westwood: Always a fun listen, Peter, and thanks for the Dead Rat Orch!
	5:06pm Doug Schulkind: Rat on rat on!
	5:08pm Sarah N: You is radio pundit Mr Dougeous!
	5:08pm Peter Nelson: You're welcome James. Thanks for listening.
	5:09pm Sarah N: And thank you Mr EMFABulous DJ (aka 'im indoors) x
	5:11pm Parq: Okay, I am an unapologetic sucker for "Dark Side", so enjoying this quite a bit.
	5:12pm Dean: A sucker here, too, for DSOTM, albeit an apologetic one. But, yeah, this is happening. Can't wait to hear the "Great Gig" section.
	5:13pm Peter Nelson: Hi Parq. Me too. And 'Wish You Were Here', actually. Headphones under the bed clothes as a youngster.
	5:15pm Parq: I'm in a car with my kid, with my iPod on shuffle. "Money" comes up. Kid: Dad, could you turn that down a little? Me: No. Sorry.
	5:16pm Peter Nelson: I've got a chip version of this too, which is pretty amazing. The dub version, however,...'Dub Side Of The Moon...could be better. @Parq. Turn it up!!!!
	5:17pm Doug Schulkind: Tough love, Parq.
	5:18pm Dean: My response to my kids would be more along the lines of, "Yes, I could. But I won't."
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Heh, STILL listening and glad I am! I blow hot and cold on mixes of the classics but this one is very artfully done. The Floyd DNA is still quite vibrant.
	5:21pm Peter Nelson: Subtle, isn't it. Mostly intact...just punched and looped here and there. Remixed, rather than covered.
	5:22pm Parq: Dean, no, that misses the key point. When you're about to listen to the greatest guitar solo in all of radio-saturated classic rock, you just can't turn it down.
	5:25pm Peter Nelson: Top of the album charts for years...millions of copies sold....we've all heard it over and over and over again...but ain't it wonderful?
	5:26pm Dean: When you put it that way, Parq, I see your point. Funny: I'd never thought of that particular guitar solo as a GUITAR SOLO! I've always dug the ensemble, and its acceleration toward frenzy. The guitar part has always been one equal part. But, dang, it IS a guitar solo!
	5:27pm Doug Schulkind: Acceleration Toward Frenzy. Another great radio show name.
	5:28pm Peter Nelson: Catchy.
	5:28pm Dean: Featuring your DJ, Biff Speedlight.
	5:29pm Peter Nelson: YOU'RE A BUNCH OF OLD HIPPIES. More comments about this than any other bit of the show toinght.
	5:31pm Dean: Well, we did commence the comments (rhyme?) riffing on weed, didn't we?
	5:32pm Peter Nelson: We did...we did. Me too...old hippie...fair cop.
	5:36pm Parq: Weed? Funny, PN's show always makes me think it's late night in a dark lounge with black lacquer fixtures and neon highlights, and a flawless rye Manhattan sitting on the bar in an exotic glass.
	5:37pm Peter Nelson: Oh Parq, that's beautiful. Perfect.
	5:39pm Peter Nelson: If it wasn't for the time difference I'd be doing a late night show.
	5:40pm listener james from westwood: There's a lot of what the US radio market calls "classic rock" that no longer resonates for me, from overexposure, but this album isn't in that group. Always in for a spin. I'm a bit burnt out on "The Wall," though.
	5:40pm Peter Nelson: So, will you all be listening to the original later tonight?
	5:42pm Peter Nelson: This astonishing piano concerto was composed between 1929 and 1931, and was first performed by Marguerite Long, with Ravel conducting the Orchestre Lamoureux, in January 1932. You might notice references to Gershwin in the 1st movement, and you would be right. Ravel toured the US in 1928 and said "The most captivating part of jazz is its rich and diverting rhythm. ...Jazz is a very rich and vital source of inspiration for modern composers and I am astonished that so few Americans are influenced by it." Ravel said that the initial theme came to him on a train journey in England. This performance of music by a French composer, with English and American influences, is played by a Chinese pianist with a Japanese conductor and a German orchestra.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: If Jesse Kaminsky plays it, yes :-)
	5:43pm Dean: Probably not, but maybe "Meddle." My LP of DSOTM is a Mobile Fidelity remaster in a nice rigid sleeve. With kids to get to bed, I don't want to be fumbling with the vinyl. I don't know this recording of the Ravel, but the piece is just glorious.
	5:44pm listener james from westwood: I'm with Doug; Jesse until bedtime!
	5:45pm Charlie: Hello Peter, all. Sorry I missed the DRO, looking forward to the archive. Tuned in just in time for Ravel! Big fan of Maurice.
	5:47pm Peter Nelson: Dean, you're musical knowledge is astonishing. Yes, this version is quite something. I've got about 4 different recordings...listened to more...and Li is my favourite. So precise, which is appropriate for a composer nicknamed 'the Swiss watchmaker of music' by Stravinsky.
	5:47pm Peter Nelson: Hello Charlie.
	5:48pm Charlie: I like pianists who play romantic and impressionist music precisely. The music already has so much eomtional expansiveness built into it.
	5:49pm Peter Nelson: Turn up the volume for this movement.
	5:52pm Peter Nelson: It took Ravel 2 years to write this masterpiece, and all most people know is that bloody 'Bolero'.
	5:53pm northguineahills: Loving the Ravel!
	5:53pm Peter Nelson: Hi ngh.
	5:54pm Dean: Thanks, Peter, but really, my musical knowledge is patchy. I add to it daily thanks to WFMU, though. I will look for this recording. "Precision" is certainly an expected, perhaps characteristic, quality in good French classical music. I adore Tharaud, but I don't think he has recorded this. But I don't mind overstatement and pseudo-romantic gushing from time to time, either. Setting my gain to onze. There's another radio show name, Doug: Bloody Bolero.
	5:54pm Doug Schulkind: Because there is just so much eomtion one can take, eh Charlie?!
	5:55pm redkayak: Sounding good out here in the Imperial Midwest :)
	5:56pm Doug Schulkind: @Pedro I played the mental-health challenging snare drum part for Bolero with my high school orchestra. Still not fully healed, 35+ years later.
	5:56pm Charlie: @Doug, you know I'm more Apollonian than Dionysian at heart :)
	5:57pm Peter Nelson: @Dean. Tharaud...no, I haven't seen a version by him. Rameau, yes, and Chabrier....got some of him there.
	5:57pm Doug Schulkind: Dionysus & the Belmonts!
	5:58pm Dean: Listened last weekend to some of Tharaud's Chabrier!
	5:58pm Peter Nelson: Hi redkayak. Welcome.
	5:59pm Peter Nelson: @Charlie....really...and I thought you were such a pussy cat puddle of feeling.
	6:00pm Doug Schulkind: How much left of this lovely number, Pete?
	6:01pm Peter Nelson: 1 minute overlap Doug.
	6:01pm Peter Nelson: Make that 1.5.
	6:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks again, Peter!
	6:02pm Parq: And on that note, I gotta step away for a bit. Killer show, PN.
	6:02pm Peter Nelson: That's it folks. Over to Doug.
	6:02pm northguineahills: Thanks Peter, groovy!
	6:02pm Doug Schulkind: Wunnerful!
	6:03pm Charlie: everything in moderation, including excess...
	6:03pm Charlie: thanks, Peter!
	6:03pm Peter Nelson: Well....I am delighted how many people dig the classical shit.
