Street interviews, listener call-ins, vinyl gluttery, sporadic normalcy, original floperas and fiktion, blatant talking over songs, politix, tenderness, and a vague undercurrent of angst. Right up your alley!

Chase | Open Up Wide | Chase | Epic | 1971 | MP3 | 02:56 - 05:32 --- From Wiki - "Chase's work on a fourth studio album in mid-1974 came to an end on August 9, 1974. While en route to a scheduled performance at the Jackson County Fair in Minnesota, Bill Chase died at the age of 39 in the plane crash of a chartered twin-engine Piper Twin Comanche in Jackson, Minnesota. Also killed, along with the pilot and a female companion, were keyboardist Wally Yohn, drummer Walter Clark, and guitarist John Emma." | 0:03:10 (Pop-up) | |||
Trump and the Baby - Audio courtesy of AP |

I lean a little too heavily on soundbytes during this episode. I was a little short on interview material. | ||||||||||
David on the Sidewalk Across the Street from Grand Central Station |

Melissa Manchester | Just Too Many People | Melissa | Arista | 1975 | MP3 | 11:07 - 13:36 --- Produced by RIchard Perry. She had big hits like Midnight Blue, You Should Hear How She Talks About You, and Don't Cry Out Loud. | 0:11:11 (Pop-up) | |||

Trump Speaks About Sacrifice on ABC |

Rush | Earthshine | Vapor Trails | Atlantic | 2002 | MP3 | 17:01 - 19:38 --- Nice live version from YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMxZ1ukFVYk ---- I always want more love for this LP and song. Hard enough to get some to cotton for even classic Rush, much less late-period stuff. I think this song measures up to their best. | 0:17:10 (Pop-up) | |||
Jonas from Denmark in front of Grand Central Station |

Danish envy. I sometimes imagine living there. Never been. My family has some Danish heritage. | ||||||||||

Steppenwolf | Draft Resistor | Monster | ABC/Dunhill | 1969 | MP3 | 23:52 - 26:23 --- From Steppenwolf's website (they are still together in some incarnation.)

Trump Gets A Purple Heart - Audio: CNN |
||||||||||
I rather unfairly edited out the last part of the "Purple Heart" audio clip in which Donald Trump introduces the soldier that gave it to him to the audience. Would have painted him in a more positive light. | ||||||||||
White Zombie | More Human Than Human | Astro-Creep 2000 | Geffen | 1995 | MP3 | 30: 38 - 33:13 --- I really need to stop the singing. I get excited by the music and I want to have fun with you, but I embarrass myself in doing so. And sometimes ruin the music. I did a rather butch editing job on this. | 0:30:43 (Pop-up) | |||

Senator Lindsay Graham (SC) on CNN |

Molly Hatchet | Flirtin' With Disaster | Epic | 1979 | MP3 | 35:13 - 38:02 --- Concerning singer Danny Joe Brown. A sad demise. Always remembered. From Wiki: "Brown left Molly Hatchet in 1980 because of chronic diabetes and pancreatic problems, but soon started his own band, The Danny Joe Brown Band, which released a single studio album in 1981. He later rejoined Molly Hatchet in 1982, only to leave again in 1995 after suffering a stroke. He died at his mother's home in Davie, Florida in March 2005, at the age of 53. His obituary attributed his death to renal failure, a complication of the diabetes he had since age 19. | 0:35:23 (Pop-up) | ||||

Giorgio Moroder | The Chase | Soundtrack from the Motion Picture "Midnight Express" | Casablanca | 1978 | MP3 | 43:50 - 52:12 --- NO. Not American Gigolo. It's from Midnight Express, an excellent movie if you've never seen it. Here's a scene from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO9WS6Bo-VU | ||||
A Call From Peter Seymour - A Random Caller |
||||||||||
As is often the case, I was totally sleep-deprived during this show. I stayed awake until 8am the night before, putting things together, editing songs and interviews. Then off to the day job. So, by the time I get to WFMU, sometimes I am delerious. | ||||||||||
Was my asking the blind man about his dreams out of line? And the Kenneth Jernigan reference. I might have offended him. And I made such a THING out of his blindness. I allowed it to DEFINE him. which was very unfair. I am always learning, but awfully late, in this instance. I am an a-whole, often. | ||||||||||
Read about Kenneth Jernigan here: https://www.aph.org/hall/inductees/jernigan/ | ||||||||||
Orichalcum | The Curse of Uqbhar | Tip | 1996 | 12" | 52:14 - 57:50 --- My "rave" music. Bought this 12" at the FMU record fair some years back. Had no idea what it was. I've grown to love it. | |||||

Aaron In Minneapolis Calls In - I Believe Aaron uses a keyboard to communicate. I handled it so poorly. Again, my weak-brained condition. How nice of Aaron to call and invite me to Minneapolis. THANK YOU Aaron. I would love to have brunch with you. |
||||||||||
Last Minute Bernie-Person-Feminist - REALLY smart and I did not acknowledge that enough. I was trying to wrangle Hearty's Show and wrap things up. |
||||||||||
I really enjoyed putting this show together, though I was at a rather low-energy ebb throughout the process. I originally intended to record the show outside in Union Square PArk after work on Wednesday, but it was windy, so I needed to record inside. I headed to LOUD Grand Central Station. I only ended up getting six interviews between 7:00PM and 8:30PM on 8/3/16. I was able to split one in half and bookend it at the beginning and end of the show. I also added lots of soundbytes to pad the program. I edited all songs to a target range of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. BEyond that, listeners lose focus and so do I. Thanks to those who called at the end of the show. I am still trying to learn to be a better listener. Often, I am anxious to "speed things along" as I only have an hour and I am used to editing the sheet rock out of things to cram in as much as is humanly possible for your entertainment dollar. Did I make mistakes on this show. Oh, yes. Moral decisions which were questionable. Was someone a bit tipsy? Probably. But I liked him, and he was interesting and did not shame himself. I harangued the blind man a bit too much, and even now I am calling him The Blind Man. Stop that, Clay. How else can I punsih myself. I sang too much, and badly, and off cue. I would give this show a B, though I really dod enjoy it, as I do all of then, because of YOU and the fact that you listen. Thank you for that. Sincerely. After all these years, this has become more than a hobby to me. I do wor hard for this hour of radio. I'll say that for myself. I hope yoiu aren;t too bored with the politics. I got some "bored" mail this week. Someone saying play more music and my politcis and interviews are boring. It hurts a bit, maybe because it's kind of true. But you know what. F--k it. I'm doing it anyway! Because I can. Thank you to William Zeuthen in Denmark. He likes it! Thanks to all of you for being here. I can't imagine more than one or two of you ever reads this stuff! Take care until next time, make the summer count, and always remember. CPNYC81699 | ||||||||||
