bobdoes -- two more shows after today, then May 4, Underwater Theme Park with Meghan will move into this time slot. I am going to start grad school, and will not have time to continue doing the show, for some time, anyway.

Someday we'll look back at 2017 as a golden age.. when Ethel Smith was still getting airplay.

Ethel Smith is a genius! I love her Latin records. Incredible lost lounge vibes

This is an incredible simulation!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Little Danny:

I forever associate Tipsy with your show, Charlie
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Hi Charlie! Today's playlist photo reminds me of my youth, which was misspent diving into Jell-O molds. Ah, the memories!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Webhamster Henry:

We are coming close to WFMU "Cocktail Lounge" material!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Charlie:

Hey! Henry! Wendy!

Heya Charlie, is that really the "Martian" Denny Orchestra?
Avatar ♥ 12:32pm bobdoesthings:

haha whoa this is greatly improved at 33.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm Charlie:

FAB-u-lous to see: jan! frenchee! and Carmichael!
Yes, Carmichael: MARTIAN
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:32pm Parq:

Nope, don't like it any better this way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz:

It does have an interesting effect at 33RPM.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35pm Charlie:

Hi Parq -- well, at least it's *longer* that way
  12:36pm Katya:

Giggling to myself with so much love for freeform radio right now. Cheers to music, great DJs, and fellow music makers/ enthusiasts
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Passaic River Blues:

At 33, the bass and chorus melody synth line take on a weird sort of assertive contemporary flavor. The vocals become obscure. It was pretty cool.
Avatar ♥ 12:41pm βrian:

Slow music shares certain affinities with slow food. One might say Charlie is an affineur of the cheese that is the Bee Gees, rendering it far more palatable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Little Danny:

Great version. Always love jazz with vibes/guitar unison lines
  12:44pm Katya:

Agreed, Little Danny. Adding Barney Kessel And His Men ‎– Breakfast At Tiffany's (Reprise Records R-6019 1961) to my record store wishlist. Man, so unlike Mancini's version, and LOVE that album cover art.

Hol(l)a!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm Charlie:

Hola, Jeff G! Well met!
  12:49pm Katya:

The fun Ugandan track reminds me, Soundeyet clued me in to a website sharing '70s-today cassettes from all African nations. Audio quality not the best (tapes after all), but the sounds! Was so inspired playing them that I cooked a West African feast on Monday. Still enjoying leftovers -- and African music.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm Charlie:

I like to inject a little mold into the cheese. And that's what gave birth to the blues.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm Jeff Golick:

Hail fellow!
  12:59pm judy from croton:

Svenska?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm Charlie:

Hi Judy -- yes:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm Little Danny:

Mancini repeatedly hitting the spot
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm Jeff Golick:

Reading about the Delta Rhythm Boys, and came upon this sentence: "Lee Gaines died of cancer in Helsinki on July 15, 1987. At Gaines's funeral, Hugh Bryant collapsed while performing, and died, apparently from a heart attack." !!!

Jeff G -- you are so right:)
  1:18pm judy from croton:

In Toronto recently, I heard many French speakers interject "Dude" into their patter
Avatar ♥ 1:24pm Carmichael:

I remember two Russian teenage girls in line at the grocery jabbering away, occasionally using the word "whatever".
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:25pm Passaic River Blues:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Charlie:

@judy, Carmichael -- I love hearing people interjecting English slang words into their otherwise native tongue conversations:)
Avatar 1:34pm annie:

Avatar ♥ 1:35pm βrian:
