Listener comments!
	3/20 12:56pm Nick S.: Just brought in a late pledge to your show! Thanks. I'm listening with my ears on.
	11:30am Tony Coulter: Huge thanks, Nick!!!
	11:32am Tony Coulter: I also want to thank these fine, fine folks who pledged after last week's show: Kent P. of Crystal Falls, MI Simon A. of Bainbridge Island, WA Al M. of Chester, NY Jason E. of Rego Park, NY Rob N. of Savannah, GA Stephen B. of Kew, Victoria, Australia THANKS SO MUCH, all of you!!!!
	12:01pm Uncle Michael: sssssssssssssss...
	12:01pm fleep: Hiss me, you fool.
	12:01pm Carmichael: Heya Tony! looking forward to more Rascal Reporter-type music.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: mmmmmmmmm .... Michael!!
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, fleep & Carmichael!!!
	12:06pm V Priceless: hey Tony and peoples!
	🥁 12:07pm Yvang: Hi! ready to be puzzled...
	12:10pm JtotheK: Hi Tony, hi everyone!
	12:10pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, hey, VP, Yvang & JtotheK!!!
	12:15pm fleep: My first cassette player had a stick shift, we used to goof around with it just like this (with less talent, of course) s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Yes, I had something like that too!
	12:20pm Guido from Cologne: Hi Tony! Cool those TEAC-cassettes with miniature reels. Seen them but never had one.
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Guido!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: So, just to clarify something I said in my intro: while the Rascal Reporters were around in the '70s, they were teenagers. Their first release (a cassette) wasn't until 1980.
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: I believe the tape on now is pre-Rascal Reporters, though....
	12:42pm Webhamster Henry: @Fleep - I had a stick-shift portable Craig 212 with 3" reels... one of those blew up nearly every week on Mission Impossible! That stick needed constant tightening!
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Webham!!
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: As you heard, this side of the tape is a comp of earlier tapes -- I believe some go back to when Gore was 13 or so.
	1:11pm Cecile: hola!
	1:11pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, Cecile!!
	1:12pm Cecile: I'm so thrilled the station made its goal before Hoof and Mouth even started!
	1:13pm Tony Coulter: Yes! Unprecedented, I think....
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: Raw Meat (just mentioned) was Gore's first, teenage band
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: just mentioned and on now, I mean....
	1:15pm V Priceless: yeah, I think last year's goal didn't happen until the Tuesday or so after the 'thon, or thereabouts...
	1:17pm Cecile: that means late pledges will be bonus!
	1:18pm Cecile: what a wonderful legacy.
	1:20pm Cecile: they were a little older than I was!
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: Yeah, I definitely feel honored to be the custodian of all these tapes. There are still quite a few I haven't heard, as there are around 100 of 'em.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: At some point, I may try to release the best of the best (if I can get permission to do that, that is).
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: I feel like I should recognize the song on now -- but I don't. Is it Bread?
	1:25pm Cecile: this is Bread right now
	1:25pm Cecile: this is a creepy Bread song.
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for confirming, Cecile!
	1:26pm Carmichael: Yes, a David Gates uber love song ...
	1:27pm Tony Coulter: This is obviously Morricone....
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: ... tho I forget which track. I'm not good at remembering titles.
	1:30pm northguineahills: Too bad I took off my Shazam off my phone. (It never ID'ed anything I didn't already know, but I'm pretty sure it would have had Morricone).
	1:30pm Webhamster Henry: I'd say! It's so Morricon-y!
	1:31pm Tony Coulter: This on now is Skeleton Crew (or possibly Fred Frith solo).
	1:31pm Cecile: Skeleton Crew. Cello on it.
	1:32pm Tony Coulter: I don't have Shazam, because I am the last living human being without a cellphone (and proud of it too).
	1:32pm Cecile: Also, I have this album. So great.
	1:32pm Cecile: Shazam never helped me find anything, so I took it off my ipod.
	1:32pm Dean: Frith played a local watering hole in my neighborhood just a couple weeks ago. I was all poised to go when I had to make an emergency trip to Southern California. Cellphones are, plain and simple, shit.
	1:33pm Cecile: I have a crummy grandma burner phone from Consumer Cellular. Everything else is my iPad. If there's no Wi-Fi, that's fine with me.
	1:33pm Tony Coulter: I hate 'em. Had one for a while, if truth be told, but happily abandoned it.
	1:34pm Cecile: They are good for me, a non-driving woman, so my husband can pick me up, or at least not be worried when I'm out.
	1:36pm Cecile: The Skeleton Crew album I believe is called Learn to Talk.
	1:37pm Tony Coulter: Think you're right. I have it, and recognized this track immediately -- I was just too lazy too confirm that's where it was from.
	1:38pm Dean: I am a devoted Luddite, and I don't see how anybody sane can't be otherwise. (The irony of being a regular listener from California to a program streamed across the 'net out of Portland, OR, via a station in New Jersey does not escape me.) To be clear: as a Luddite I am merely highly skeptical of the hyped promise of these devices and protocols. I am not anti-technology. Learning to program in 1976 was fascinating, as was running a network during the '90s.
	1:38pm Tony Coulter: This on now is the Rascal Reporters.
	1:39pm Dean: Er, *could be otherwise.
	1:39pm Cecile: Dean, I'm similar. Whatever happened to "appropriate technology"? Half the time a list on the back of an envelope is as good as any electronic planner.
	1:40pm Webhamster Henry: It's a pity that Twitter can't be used for training puppies.
	1:41pm Webhamster Henry: Ooh, back announcing!
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: Partial back announcing.....
	1:42pm Tony Coulter: This is the Rascal Reporters again.....
	1:42pm Dean: Heh, just now in my email inbox, a series of messages with the Subject, "Unscheduled Network Outage." Exactly, Cecile. "Appropriate" entails a degree of objective value, not just subjective desire and satisfaction. Folks don't reflect on whether or not a tool is right for the job so much as whether or not "I like it!"
	1:42pm Cecile: Where did you say they were out of again?
	1:43pm northguineahills: My iPhone is 6 years old. I would still have at my Blackberry from 2004 if my wife hadn't given me her old iPhone and made me part from my old phone. I'll stay w/ this one until it dies (and, it's doing a great job of dying, already replaced the battery once, myself).
	1:43pm Tony Coulter: @ Cecile: Oak Park, Michigan.
	1:43pm Tony Coulter: ... which is a suburb of Detroit.
	1:44pm Cecile: It would be funny if they came to Ann Arbor and me or one of my friends would have sold them records. Yeah, I'm familiar with Oak Park. Ann Arbor's only about 45 minutes away.
	1:45pm northguineahills: "list on the back on envelope". Not if your penmanship is illegible to your own self. My teachers made me type my homework since I was in the third grade, and that was 1984.
	1:45pm Tony Coulter: OK, this is obviously Tom Jones: Little Red Book.
	1:46pm Cecile: NGH, I am getting my 2012 15" screen laptop repaired. they don't make them anymore, and once it craps out, they won't fix it anymore. So it better last for a while.
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: I'm guessing this on now is also Morricone....
	1:48pm Dean: Funny, while Tom Jones sang the title tune in the soundtrack to "What's New Pussycat?," Manfred Mann sang "My Little Red Book."
	1:50pm Tony Coulter: Have no idea who this is now....
	1:50pm Cecile: Sounds like Dionne Warwick
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: That sounds right! Wuz just going to suggest that.
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: OK, I really have no idea what the track on now is.
	1:55pm Dean: Steve Lacy and Mal Waldron?
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: Doesn't sound like Lacy to me, but who knows. Almost sounds like Tony Coe??
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: This is the Rascal Reporters now
	1:57pm Cecile: I was gonna say Steve Lacy, or maybe someone on clairinet. Did Sidney Bechet ever make a boppy record?
	1:58pm Dean: Right, a little too showy for Lacy. I don't know where he played with piano/drums/bass/trumpet.
	1:59pm JtotheK: Gotta head out, but enjoyed the tapes - thanks Tony!
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: See ya, JtotheK!
	2:01pm Tony Coulter: Thanks to Doug (Drummer Doug, natch), I know exactly what this track is: Pharoah Sanders: "Heart Is a Melody of Time."
	2:03pm Dean: Checking Coe's discography for pre-'85 recordings. Nothing obvious there...
	2:05pm Tony Coulter: This Pharoah Sanders track kinda reminds me of Magma.
	2:05pm still b/p: I believe Tony Middleton was the singer in the My Little Red Book version. I didn't know that offhand. But I thought Tom Jones...? Didn't sound like him. Middleton sings it on a Burt Bacharach Plays His Hits album from '66 or '69 depending on which dating you believe. Found it and gave a quick listen.
	2:07pm Tony Coulter: Aha! Thanks, still b/p!! If I ever air this tape again, I'll know exactly what's on it.
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Guess I could have figured it out first, but, no....
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: Here's the Rascal Reporters again....
	2:12pm still b/p: Oscar Wilde said, "Figuring it out first is the last refuge of the unimaginative DJ."
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: Don't know what this on now is either.....
	2:15pm Dean: This strings and guitar is DEFINITELY Steve Lacy.
	2:15pm Cecile: That last big band piece had a sound that reminded me a little of some of Henry Threadgill's units.
	2:15pm Tony Coulter: Also don't know what this is!
	2:16pm Hams in Athens: this is kind of interesting, not being able to report the playlist.
	2:17pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Hams! Yes -- personally, I kinda like the semi-mystery....
	2:17pm Cecile: nothing has been steve lacy imo, Dean!
	2:18pm Cecile: that last piece might be from a film like two for the road or something.
	2:18pm Tony Coulter: This is the Rascal Reporters again
	2:20pm northguineahills: Ok, definitely Steve Lacy!
	2:20pm Webhamster Henry: I'm waiting to hear this mashed up with "I've Never Been To Me"
	2:20pm Hams in Athens: yeah, yeah. i imagine turning on the weather, and the weatherman just being at a lost what the forecast was. be pretty neat.
	2:20pm Cecile: this sounds like a cover.
	2:22pm Dean: ...of a mid-period Chicago tune.
	2:22pm Cecile: or Steve lacy.
	2:23pm Dean: Yeah, Lacy was all about rhyming "Paris, France" with "romance."
	2:23pm Cecile: and "Shine" and "mine"
	2:24pm V Priceless: impressive composition
	2:25pm geezerette: he loves you
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, geezerette!
	2:28pm Cecile: why were these guys not huge? At least Todd Rundgren huge?
	2:28pm geezerette: Hello Tony !
	2:30pm northguineahills: I got to use "Todd Rundgren huge" as a reference point from now on.
	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: Todd will be here in Kingston on May 13th, playing at UPAC, a great venue!
	2:32pm Cecile: I live to give.
	2:34pm Dean: Eggcastle
	2:34pm V Priceless: good point, @ Cecile Re: ToddHuge
	2:35pm Cecile: I saw Todd open for Hall and Oates once. He was hilarious and bizarre. Half of the audience loved it, the other half was yelling "Play your hit!"
	2:36pm Cecile: Then at the end, they did a Philly soul medley, and Daryl had to point Todd to the teleprompter right under his feet. Good times.
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: As for why Rascal Reporters never got big, or even semi-big: I think their sound was just too diverse. A combination of Egg, the Residents, and Bread was probably just too weird for most people.
	2:38pm Dean: I saw Todd during the Back to the Bars tour at the Roxy. Maybe H&O were there, too?
	2:39pm Cecile: They could have been. They have been pals for years.
	2:48pm Webhamster Henry: Definitely Dave Stewart-y!
	2:49pm Cecile: how did you discover the Rascal Reporters, Tony?
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Forget now -- have been a fan for years.
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: Maybe I heard about them because Henry Cow and Univers Zero folks appear on one of their albums. I think that's what made me seek them out.
	2:51pm Cecile: About when was that?
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: This record: www.discogs.com...
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: So, mid-80s.
	2:53pm V Priceless: wow - I did not realize Nick Didkovsky plays guitar on this. He's been performing Alice Cooper's "Pretties For You" in its entirety of recent. In fact, he's doing it again in April, and I'm a going!
	2:53pm Cecile: Very cool! Every time I hear them, I like them more.
	2:54pm V Priceless: fun show, Tony - thanks!
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone!! See you next week....
	3:08pm Webhamster Henry: @V Priceless Whoa! Nick is an old friend - yes go see him play!
	3:48pm Jeff Golick: Stopping by late just to say that I'm a-bummed to have missed this name-that-tune roller-coaster ride. :(

	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: Todd will be here in Kingston on May 13th, playing at UPAC, a great venue!
	2:32pm Cecile: I live to give.
	2:34pm Dean: Eggcastle
	2:34pm V Priceless: good point, @ Cecile Re: ToddHuge
	2:35pm Cecile: I saw Todd open for Hall and Oates once. He was hilarious and bizarre. Half of the audience loved it, the other half was yelling "Play your hit!"
	2:36pm Cecile: Then at the end, they did a Philly soul medley, and Daryl had to point Todd to the teleprompter right under his feet. Good times.
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: As for why Rascal Reporters never got big, or even semi-big: I think their sound was just too diverse. A combination of Egg, the Residents, and Bread was probably just too weird for most people.
	2:38pm Dean: I saw Todd during the Back to the Bars tour at the Roxy. Maybe H&O were there, too?
	2:39pm Cecile: They could have been. They have been pals for years.
	2:48pm Webhamster Henry: Definitely Dave Stewart-y!
	2:49pm Cecile: how did you discover the Rascal Reporters, Tony?
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Forget now -- have been a fan for years.
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: Maybe I heard about them because Henry Cow and Univers Zero folks appear on one of their albums. I think that's what made me seek them out.
	2:51pm Cecile: About when was that?
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: This record: www.discogs.com...
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: So, mid-80s.
	2:53pm V Priceless: wow - I did not realize Nick Didkovsky plays guitar on this. He's been performing Alice Cooper's "Pretties For You" in its entirety of recent. In fact, he's doing it again in April, and I'm a going!
	2:53pm Cecile: Very cool! Every time I hear them, I like them more.
	2:54pm V Priceless: fun show, Tony - thanks!
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone!! See you next week....
	3:08pm Webhamster Henry: @V Priceless Whoa! Nick is an old friend - yes go see him play!
	3:48pm Jeff Golick: Stopping by late just to say that I'm a-bummed to have missed this name-that-tune roller-coaster ride. :(
