Missed the J Dilla earlier. There is an interview on the Amoeba Records site with Flea and Amy-Jo Albany in which Flea chokes up as he describes how much he loves J Dilla's records. Kinda sweet.
It's weird, but Hicks, J Dilla, and even Bowie were never on my playlists, yet their departures are palpable. That says something about my taste, of course, but I feel like it also says something about our musical culture, its richness and variety and wealth of very special talent.

I don't comment much but I want to say that Gaylord always delivers an A++ show and I listen because I know he will never just phone it in. Where else do you get Gabor Szabo and Elvis Presley on the same show? Keep up the amazing work.
@Adrian in London: It was first released on his Pot Luck LP in 1962, amid all his soundtrack dreck, but not of it. And yes, it is a favorite Elvis track.
I would always have said I was a Bowie fan, but *still* surprised how impactful (if you'll forgive the neologism) his departure has been - both generally & personally.
...& Jefferson Airplane was some of the earliest stuff I was ever exposed to.
For those of us of a certain age (or who like music from a certain era), the rate of deaths of artists who mean a lot to us will seem almost incessant.
Your show's the first thing that's managed to dislodge Sylvan's We Don't Belong from my brain since Sheila played it on Friday. What a track! That and Clothilde's Saperlipopette have been my songs of choice for the weekend.
such a lovely sea shanty-ish take on "valley of the dolls." love!! you did it again, gaylord!!

This puts me in mind of a really wonderful cornemuse and accordion recital: http://www.amazon.fr/Musiques-cornemuses-accord%C3%A9ons-C-Vesvre-S-Desaunay/dp/B0055KKLPO
Bowie was a little younger than the British Invasion proper - a real bridge between them & Punk - w/ Glam & the ArtRock underground - yet hugely Popular. Ushered in a more Visual age. It's no wonder it's a big deal, really, but still surprised - something stealthy about he mattered...

I hope Big Freedia is Beyoncé's special guest at the half time show.
I just picked up Nino & April's All Strung Out LP yesterday at Amoeba in SF. The first three cuts on side one (You'll Be Needing Me Baby, Help You To See, and the title track) pack perhaps the most sublime 1-2-3 punch of the modern era.
So - one metaphor is Gaylord as Film Director as DJ.
...The other 'image' evoked for me on FMU Sunday eves (over different Schedules) has been a neighborhood of cafes or clubs - stylin' hangouts, w/ each Program a different address...
www.songfacts.com... :
The lyrics, "We are normal and we want our freedom" echo a line from a (then) new Peter Brook production of the play by Peter Weiss, The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (normally shortened to Marat/Sade). In the play the line is shouted by the inmates at the lunatic asylum. The band saw the play at their art college and later used the line in this song. (thanks, Nancy - Isle Of Wight, United Kingdom)
