Evan, it's nice to know that even a veteran like you has to go to the internet to figure out how to pronounce an occasional artist name. I do that at least once a show.

An Old Fashioned is basically whisley, water, bitters and a little sugar. That's it! It helps that I forgot to eat and weigh 130 LBs.

i decided (a few weeks ago) to listen to every Bowie album that i don't know like the back of my hand (so,all but about 8) in order of their release. but i need to wait a little longer to do that.

Yes! There's a sweet propaganda video to this Kosmischer Laufer track on the YouTube. Uplifting.

@ coelacanth -- sounds yummy, even if NOT drunk! and yes, this does indeed sound like Autobahn!

Old fashions are terrific drinks. I'm recently fond of whiskey. Partly because I drink it a lot slower than gin or tequila.

I love this kosmich olympic music but what I've heard so far is relaxing, seems like it might put athletes to sleep.
  10:18pm
JakeGould:

Is this from the real East German Olympic program, or is it fauxstaligic homage?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20pm
Ike:

@Jake, some/most of the DJs seem to think it's new fake history, as far as I can tell. Ha ha, good word there -- "fauxstalgic". Yes, that.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Kat in Chicago:

Good question there. I did look at the playlist to make sure it wasn't on Ghost Box.
  10:24pm
Eric Hat:

The video I watched claims the piece is from the year 1977...either way, tis bangin'.
  10:25pm
Andrew:

Is "Station to Station" part of the Berlin trilogy? I always thought it started with "Low."
  10:25pm
JakeGould:

@Ike: We live in a fauxstalgic world. For example, so many “olde timey” Brooklyn places like to hearken back to the 1950s and earlier… But few people actually want to open up an authentic 1970s NYC shop. I can ramble about this stuff for hours.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
coelacanth:

Andrew yes. low; heroes; lodger...but it's said that sts was leading to the trilogy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
coelacanth:

(whatever that means!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
coelacanth:

okay now i cannot stop thinking about whiskey.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
efd:

you're right Andrew, I just accidentally squeezed Station To Station in there. It always seemed Berlin-y to me!
  10:31pm
JakeGould:

@efd: Always felt like a prequel to “Low” to me.
  10:33pm
Andrew:

I totally agree - it is definitely a transition record - a bit of blue-eyed soul and a bit of teutonic chill
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Stevel:

Definitely a good record to drink whiskey by.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:36pm
coelacanth:

that settles it!
  10:38pm
JakeGould:

@Stevel: Is there anything in America that people won’t drink to? I was walking around in the middle of the blizzard in the middle of the street and there were fresh beer cans all over the place.

chad from oregon:

The whole album arc from Station To Station though Scary Monsters has a pretty solid flow though. Lodger and Scary Monsters feel like cousins to me.

i wouldn't drink beer in the snow. (and i wouldn't litter it with the empties either...) whiskey and brandy i consider more suited to snow drinking.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:55pm
coelacanth:

forgiving you is like breathing.
  11:01pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: FWIW, basic Soju is like 21-25 proof. But the stuff I drank this blizzard was Chumchurum which is specifically marketed to “women” but was 18-19 proof. Since it’s slightly less proof it’s considered a “woman’s” drink. Think about that for a second. 18-19 proof is “weak?” en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
coelacanth:

well,it's weaker than regular wine.
  11:02pm

@efd: I don’t donate money to WFMU for perfection. Kudos to the flaws!

thank goodness, JakeGould, or we'd all be out on the street by now!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:04pm
coelacanth:

..but, a "woman's drink"?! those assholes! i know women who easily shame many dudes,if you should call it "shame"!
...and my own tolerance fluctuates wildly.
  11:05pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: Let me state that again… 18-19 proof whiskey is considered “women’s” hooch to Koreans. That’s nuts! That’s 3x higher than most American beer!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:07pm
coelacanth:

oh no Jake, that's 19.5%...39 proof!...that's not that weak.
  11:08pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: Okay, whatever… That is still strong for what it is. Casual hooch.

My GF was very excited about the track that just ended (as was I). Silver Sun is one of her all-time favorite combos!

JakeGould:

Ack. I mixed it all up. Look at us all here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
coelacanth:

it's strong enough!
...i'm rarely on a mission to get drunk. i like getting a buzz (usually) in a social circumstance...but i like the ritual; i only drink what i truly enjoy; and i really hate feeling like shit the next day.
  11:12pm
JakeGould:

@coelacanth: My philosophy nowadays too. Mainly drink to be social or for special occasions.
