WFMU: The Magic Hour with Jeff Golick: Playlist from January 11, 2016

Listener comments!
	12:02pm Uncle Michael: Greetings.
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: How do, all. Aside from the obvious.
	12:04pm JtotheK: hi everyone.
	12:05pm glenn: what up, polka heads?
	12:05pm βrian: All ears, here.
	12:05pm doctorjazz: More Polka?!
	12:05pm Brian in UK: Hello Jeff. Dare I say my intro was Can't Help Thinking About Me by David Jones and the Lower Third. Yes, I am that old.
	12:05pm OldManLandry: The BOOSH!
	12:06pm Dean: Intro to Bowie: Space Oddity c. 1974. Damn, watched the entire Lemmy funeral yesterday and now this. Too fucking morbid.
	12:06pm JtotheK: the polka tunes reminded me of all the radio stations in upper WI that still play it ... gonna have to tune in to those next time i'm up north.
	12:07pm Jeff Golick: Rolling the barrell back... Hi hi hi, @Uncle Michael! @listener james! @JtotheK! @glenn! @βrian! @Brian in UK! @doctorjazz!
	12:07pm βrian: Good lord. Does it rhyme with wowwy, joey, or hooey??
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Ziggy for me.
	12:07pm glenn: fave album - man who sold the world. fave song - hard to say, but probably station to station.
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: I think the BBC obit noted it rhymes with "joey."
	12:08pm listener james from westwood: Therese's mid-show pivot last night to Bowie was skillful. Taking things tentatively re: tributes this week as I got really swamped during the Lou Reed nods on top of then-fresh family grief. But happy WFMU celebrated the hell out of both artists well before their passing and sent or will send them off in proper style.
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: Hey, Landry! @Dean!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: I'm probably a little too proud of having debuted his new album on WFMU and its subsidiaries.
	12:10pm βrian: Ok, that's two solid votes for the canonical pronunciation. Good to know.
	12:10pm Brian in UK: Like I mentioned previously. He was cool right up to the end. No bleating about his situation. We can all be heroes.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: If just for one day.
	12:12pm Jeff Golick: @UM: I'd be similarly proud. @Brian: that his condition was so little known, given the current levels of media frenzienss, is kind of astonishing.
	12:13pm Doug Schulkind: I still miss Lester Bowie terribly.
	12:13pm Jeff Golick: As I generally like to take things back to books, here's a list of Bowie's 100 favorite books: www.openculture.com...
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: Hey, Doug. I did note, while searching my music for "Bowie," that I have a preponderance of Lester.
	12:16pm JtotheK: thanks for the list of books, Jeff.
	12:18pm Brian in UK: @Uncle do you think DB's vocals are powerful on the new album or is there a hint of fading?
	12:18pm Jeff Golick: Among Bowie's (many) saving graces: his sense of humor.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: it's hard for me to tell if he sounds weakened by illness or if the subdued vocals are intentional. I have no idea how long ago he recorded them or what the status of his health was at that time. I'd just be projecting, as I am now that I presume the entire album to be a conscious swan song.
	12:21pm Brian in UK: Book list pretty well mid/late twentieth century. Uncle bit of a dumb question. Did he play sax on it?
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: I don't know. There is sax on it...on Lazarus it's very good. I haven't looked at liner notes so I don't know if that's him.
	12:23pm glenn: if this isn't peter hook playing bass, i'll be shocked.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Donny McCaslin – flute, saxophone, woodwinds
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: Was recorded mostly in January 2015, with a jazz group led by saxophonist Danny McCaslin. Here's more on how it came together: www.rollingstone.com...
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Tim Lefebvre – bass
	12:23pm Doug Schulkind: Bowie plays sax on some lovely Steeleye Span tracks. And doesn't he get saxy on that one Genya Raven tune?
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: David Bowie – vocals, acoustic guitar, mixing, production, string arrangements, "Fender Guitar" on "Lazarus" Donny McCaslin – flute, saxophone, woodwinds Ben Monder – guitar Jason Lindner – piano, organ, keyboards Tim Lefebvre – bass Mark Guiliana – drums, percussion
	12:24pm Jeff Golick: Many (most?) of you might have just heard this one on Joe McG's show, but ...can't...not.
	12:26pm Brian in UK: Thanks. Andy Gill in the Independent (one of the few critics I trust) said it was his best in the longest time. Sounds like a grower.
	12:26pm ndbob: afternoon Jeff and everyone!
	12:28pm Jeff Golick: Greetings, @ndbob!
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: He left it all on the field, as they say in sports ball.
	12:30pm Brian in UK: Jeff, avantgardepolka next?
	12:31pm Jeff Golick: I'm afraid I don't go that deep, @Brian. (But this was indeed inspired but a non-polka cut Joe played.)
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Nice version of Witchi-Tai-To.
	12:32pm Brian in UK: You play with fifty one cards?
	12:38pm glenn: avant garde olka? astor piazzolaski?
	12:39pm Jeff Golick: This Wood Spider album is a "name your price" download at Bandcamp, fyi: woodspider.bandcamp.com...
	12:40pm Brian in UK: @glenn raise your blood pressure and seizure. Love it, Jeff.
	12:42pm Jeff Golick: Geez apologies for the crappy quality of the dig file on this Novos Baianos.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Great choice, Jeff.
	12:54pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM.
	12:54pm Jeff Golick: Then there's this...
	12:54pm Dean: Great complement to Joe Belock's opening track here.
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Great show, thanks.
	12:55pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Jeff. To quote Lord Buckley, cool means to believe, I think this fella believed.
	12:55pm Jeff Golick: @Dean: yeah, I only saw Joe B's pick, didn't hear it (obvs.)
	12:55pm Jeff Golick: @doctorjazz: Glad you could be here.
	12:56pm Jeff Golick: @Brian in UK: You got that right.
	12:56pm Dean: Not exactly on topic, but more than one speaker at Lemmy's funeral mentioned he was a huge fan of ABBA (?!), The Beatles, Monty Python, Goon Show... One wishes there were a heaven and there were bands there.
	12:57pm JtotheK: enjoyed the show, thanks Jeff.
	12:57pm glenn: love mott. one of the all time underrated bands.
	12:57pm ndbob: excellent show Jeff!
	12:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for joining in, @JtotheK, @glenn, @ndbob!
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the show, Jeff.
	12:58pm Brian in UK: I admire him for turning down a CBE and Knighthood. Jagger loves that sort of thing. Creep.
	12:58pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Jeff!
	12:59pm glenn: sure, because mick's a capitalist robber baron, deep to his scuzzy core.
	1:00pm Dean: Only the good die young?
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: Digging from work. Thanks, El Jefe!
	1:01pm ktrsbklyn: well mused, Jeff!
	1:03pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, one and all! (And see you soon, @ktrsbklyn.)
