While I'm happy for Koen that Beast is getting play here, I'm disappointed because i try to play stuff here nobody plays. I'm torn about that comment...

This show is a balm for my soul, straight up.

Why? Stuff nobody plays is still stuff.

Sounds good from my undisclosed temporary bunker in Baltimore. Pre-Echo is run by a dog-run friend!

That is to say, stuff somebody else plays that otherwise nobody plays is still the same stuff you play, and it's enjoyable as such.

sberger:

Evening all. I haven't heard any of the 3 first artists that you've played so far, and tune in to your show Jeff because I can't hear this stuff, or don't anywhere else. Even things like the Dead jams or deep Neil Young or Byrds cuts, it's all good. So if you play an obscure cut that somebody else on 'FMU played I wouldn't sweat it. I'm sure most tune into your show because overall it's completely unique in how you present stuff. Thanks for that, btw.

Dean:

Gotcha, but novelty is more complicated. You could play--yet again--Schubert's D.960, by another performer and it could be new.
Avatar 12:26am
Jeff Conklin:

ok, let's set it straight:

I'm totally OK with playing stuff that's been played on the station. I strive not to but it's impossible with such an incredible station such as WFMU...

yikes, people.

firestone:

I have a sincere question for all the dudes on the comments board this evening. I am stoned, so bear with me. Do you think you are being conditioned by the media – including the news, entertainment, and social media – that abundance is scarce (abundance of love, money, safety, success, etc. - however you define it)? When you compare your life to how it was 10 years ago, can you see a difference in this respect? There are no wrong answers.
  12:34am
Mike Wolf:

@firestoner Yes. 10 years ago was late capitalism, now is later capitalism.

Every track so far tonight has been outstanding! I'm feeling this. Actually I really should turn off the radio and go to sleep, but I can't. I'm transfixed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37am

Mike hits it on the head, more or less -- our capitalist consumer culture tells us we never have enough...stuff. When actually, I have more than I need.

firestone : conditioned is an understatement ... its more like .. maximal control of your soul .. if there be such a thing ...and anything else you have of value .. intelligence .. money .. time .. who controls the media has the money ... and the power .. follow the bloodline up to the top .. and what do you find .. who had the technology to create us in the first place .. when has that technology been more evident ?

Life is considerably more difficult in every metric now than it was 10 years from my vantage point.

@zenkoan: I Don't believe that Vangelis worked with Anderson on Olias. It was widely rumoured but both deny any collaboration on the album.

That Ash & Herb was great, really deep puh. I've already got several Bandcamps open.

Thank you for your answers. @future transport, if you're able, could you explain what you mean by "who had the technology to create us in the first place .. when has that technology been more evident ?"

@Jeff: AGREED!

"Life" isn't necessarily more difficult. Living in America mos certainly is.

  12:49am
zenkoan:

Interesting, Number Six--thanks. I just dug out the vinyl (!), and in the notes Anderson thanks Vangelis "for his energy", which I always took to mean his help in producing (if not actually composing) the music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:50am
Fuzzy:

@Dean: that's pretty much where I'm at too --I feel I'm doing much better than I was 10 years ago, but my country sure isn't. Was it a real or imagined lack of abundance that convinced people to vote for a "reality" TV con artist to preside over the nation?
  12:50am
dave:

Yikes indeed. What’s a balm for my soul here is no particular cut, but the way Jeff lines everything up and gets it so right, hour after hour, week after week. He’s feeling it, I’m feeling it. It’s uncanny. You guys stop thinking, arguing and comparing with 10 years ago, you might actually listen to what a great DJ is laying down, and maybe, who knows, end up happier for it?

@dave LOL music inspires different things for different people...for me, it sometimes inspires thinking and contemplation (all good)

firestone : the bible , that is mainly taken from the sumerian tablets tells the same story of the annunaki deity that made us ...cloned beings . the adam .. our god creator .. real and advanced beings who made us in their image ... and have always had us under their thumb from the beginning .. always had the technology .. we can clone now humans ... just as our creators created us ... this level of technology is indicative of the level of power and authority over our freedumb freedom .. when the annunaki left the earth .. their turned over power and leadership to the pharaohs, then the kings , then our present rulers .. all under the same bloodline genetically .. the same family .. all the power plays done by the same family leading up to the top .. even trump in the bloodline .. very difficult to stray outside of a written script .. what would happen if we didnt vote ? it would default to kingship or some fascist or tyranical lleadership ... why is there never peace ? why is everything so difficult to improve upon ? why do the rich maintain their advantage no matter what and make decisions always in their favor that stick .. why isnt democracy working ? why are democrats more and more like republicans ? why does money decide how every issue will go ? why does it say in the bible .. " the gold and silver is mine , saith the lord " ? .. why would god care about gold and silver .. consider who this so called god really is

In 1969, "Never Learn Not to Love" was included on the Beach Boys' 15th studio album 20/20.

Musically, Wilson deviated from Manson's blues influence, ...

"It's called "The American Dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it. I only took a quick peek at the Youtube link to verify my hunch that that would be the riff Number Six was referring to. Probably the most astute 3 minutes of Mr. Carlin's career.
