Hi at early night from other side of the Atlantic (in the middle of the Mediterranean sea actually). Ty for your company!

3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

We need more of this kind of music during this time slot.

♥ 3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...hang on - not GeneClark...

♥ 3:19pm Frank In Queens:

Matt! Digging the way you're easing into a 3 hour shift.

♥ 3:19pm hip:

More Kinks, less kings! ;-)

♥ 3:19pm Matt Clarke:

Hey hip, Todd and Frankie!

♥ 3:20pm Matt Clarke:

@Rev: A Gene Clark composition that used the backing track he cut

♥ 3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

The BlowUp guy?!

♥ 3:23pm Matt Clarke:

@Rev: That's the guy! McGuinn and Hillman are all over the LP

♥ 3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Tim!! Critics are wrong - love his 1st FolkRawk pitched album...
'Come to the Sunshine' had a fabulous CatStevens episode: www.podomatic.com...

♥ 3:27pm Matt Clarke:

Tim's 1st LP is essential Sunset Strip noise!

♥ 3:27pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Kiler start, Matt. Might be my fave BeeGees

♥ 3:29pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Kevin! Yeah me too!

♥ 3:29pm Marc Francis:

Tim is missing...

♥ 3:30pm KevinfromBayRidge:

"Killer start" too!

♥ 3:31pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks Marc! My bad

3:32pm Mike Sin:

That Odessa Bee Gees LP is something else... really love it. I’m a sucker for red velvet as well!

3:33pm Andy the painter:

geeky sonic question: was that actual harpsichord in the first part of the bee gees track (and many other songs of the era) or was it some guitar effect that emulated the sound?

(i THINK i’m referring to the first part of the bee gees track, unless there was something else after cat stevens)

3:33pm Andy the painter:

oh. it was a tim buckley song.

♥ 3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

If you could play like Jorma - you'd be in good forma.

♥ 3:34pm Matt Clarke:

@Andy: I think it was a harpsichord played by Van Dyke Parks

♥ 3:34pm Matt Clarke:

@Mike: You gotta break out that red velvet leisure suit for your next gig!

3:35pm Jack:

Matt, we must have done a lot of the same drugs!

3:35pm Peter from Dover NJ:

Surprised by Todd-o-phonic Todd's absence, but mollified by Good Shepherd.

♥ 3:35pm Hughie Considine:

Somehow the Turtles parodies came across as loving, unlike say Peter Paul & Mary's "I Dig Rock n Roll Music"

♥ 3:35pm Richard.Whig:

Lets keep it grooving along!

♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...sitting on a friend's stoop in SanFrancisco...well - Jorma is the sound of the feeling...

♥ 3:42pm Matt Clarke:

@Hughie: Agreed! "I Dig Rock n Roll Music" is just not funny at all to me

3:42pm Andy the painter:

@matt clarke. thanks! i’ve got a fever! more folk-rock harpsichord!

♥ 3:42pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Peter, Hughie and Richard! Welcome!

♥ 3:43pm Hoboken Jack:

Hey there Matt!

♥ 3:43pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Hoboken Jack!

♥ 3:44pm Matt Clarke:

@Andy: Let me see what else I can find!

♥ 3:46pm patrick321:

One of The Monkees' best!

♥ 3:47pm Hughie Considine:

The grit on the surface of this 45 was younger and spryer back in the day, and may even have some hash in it.

♥ 3:47pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Talking about "Demon Alcohol", anyone know Monty Hall has beer fer sale tonight?

♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...'I Dig...' does good little vignettes of each style - I think they were sort-of sincere / ambiguous - & that's kewl...it's true Pop hadda stay Subtextual then - which was part of the Art of it...BrianWilson going mad stuffing the Universe into 2minutes:30 & all that...Townshend: 'You can't have a 10min. Pop song! You're allowed four chords - one modulation - five - you might be up before ThuhCommittee!!'...

♥ 3:48pm Matt Clarke:

@Kevin: I can find out for you

♥ 3:50pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Thanks. Otherwise I'll be doing some Interstate Transportation of "Demonic substances!

♥ 3:51pm Hughie Considine:

Hello Matt! this set is right up my alley - pop music that laughs!

♥ 3:52pm Matt Clarke:

Glad you're digging Hughie!

♥ 3:55pm Matt Clarke:

@Kevin: BYOB 2nite

3:56pm Bluesman:

Rhymes with “Captivate.” Ha ha!

♥ 4:00pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Thanks Matt. Guess I'll throw somethin in the fridge for the comedy show.

♥ 4:00pm Marc Francis:

Matt! This is a goddamn perfect set. SO FUN!

♥ 4:01pm anne:

Oh goody goody gumdrops!

4:06pm burpage:

hello matt really making this day so much better

♥ 4:07pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Anne and burpage! I'm glad you're tuned in

♥ 4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hm! Sounded pretty MaximumR&B for a band called 'Merseys'! Look forward to Shelley interview...Mindbenders Yanks, no?

♥ 4:10pm Matt Clarke:

Mindbenders Madchester Britons

♥ 4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Ah good - disabused...

♥ 4:13pm Guido from Cologne:

Jaqueline!
Killer show! :-)

4:14pm Andrew S:

picked up an old brazilian copy of the shakers s/t album a few weeks ago. It has it's my party on it too. Pretty cool. Real cheap packaging like the arttwork is taped on both sides like a bootleg but it isnt

♥ 4:14pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Guido!

♥ 4:14pm Matt Clarke:

@Andrew S: Love those Shakers gents

♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...somehow associated Mindbenders w/ 'Come On Down to My Boat' (??); somethin' GarageNuggety about 'em!...file w/ this I guess:
www.youtube.com...

4:16pm Andrew S:

yeah pretty neat, all i really knew were a few tracks that were comped over the years. great show btw :)

♥ 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Rhino jumped gun putting International Garage w/ Brits on NuggetsII: clearly needs its' own massive beautiful Box!!

♥ 4:18pm Matt Clarke:

Mindbenders get sort of more MOR 60s when Wayne Fontana leaves. "Groovy Kind Of Love," was the big one after he left.

4:19pm poopbag:

matt really making this day better

♥ 4:19pm Matt Clarke:

@Rev: I agree! Tons more out there

♥ 4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

PhilGrey in NZ does this outstanding program:
www.freefm.org.nz...
- has a GlobalGarage set every episode!

♥ 4:21pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks for that Rev! Will check it out

4:22pm David in London:

Some Winwood magic. Great set.

♥ 4:23pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks David!

4:23pm scott:

tack piano and sitar, just in time

♥ 4:24pm Hughie Considine:

"Turn Down Day" and "Mr. Dyingly Sad" in a cage match for most twee twee-pop moment in existence.

♥ 4:25pm Matt Clarke:

@Hughie: Yes!

♥ 4:28pm Guido from Cologne:

The Floyds!
it took me decades to finally find a Dutch EMI comp fewaturing this unloved track.

♥ 4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Finally the Mods Are Taking Acid

♥ 4:30pm Hughie Considine:

Is it fair to say the Floyds differ from the other behemoths of that approximate era by never having gone thru a blues period?

♥ 4:30pm Guido from Cologne:

Mods were used to pills anyway

♥ 4:31pm Hughie Considine:

blues/R&B/soul etc.?

♥ 4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...yes - but they weren't supposed to sit in corners seeing Gawd in their thumbnails...

♥ 4:32pm Guido from Cologne:

The Floyds started as a British R'n'B unit in the vein of Pretty Things.
As The Pink Floyd Sound with Bob Close on guitar.
Nick Masen writes it happened that all good musicians left the group.

♥ 4:33pm Frank In Queens:

This set is giving me the energy to finish cleaning my house!

4:33pm David in London:

Lord, could anything ever be better than Sixties phased effects..?

♥ 4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Floyd '65: www.youtube.com...

♥ 4:34pm Guido from Cologne:

exactly! "Lucy leave", first Syd Barrett song ever professionally recorded.

4:34pm Ochre Ogre:

Pink Floyd derived their name from 2 blues musicians though.

♥ 4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Tend to write off Page in yARdbiRds as low-rent Beck - but that's reductive. The Live album Page remixed - wow...

♥ 4:35pm Smoketown Joe:

Great show Matt C, TOPT should be proud

♥ 4:35pm Matt Clarke:

Love the 1968-1969 Floyd

♥ 4:36pm Hughie Considine:

Ah, thanks @rev and @guido - that's why I phrased it as a question -- I guess there is no avoiding that element of music until the punks explicitly tried to exclude it.

♥ 4:36pm Matt Clarke:

I still have yet to hear that remix Rev! I gotta get on that.

Thanks all for hanging out!

♥ 4:37pm Frank In Queens:

I'll take care of that your you Matt.

♥ 4:38pm Hughie Considine:

I've quite enjoyed this -- WFMU at its best, especially on a sodden Saturday.

4:38pm Larry from Westwood and now Chicago:

Holy schniekes what a set this has been

4:38pm Ochre Ogre:

Syd was so brilliant!! Loving the show Matt

♥ 4:39pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks Frankie! It keeps slipping my mind!

4:39pm geezerette:

ahhhh...gorgeous melancholy.

♥ 4:39pm Frank In Queens:

Ha, mine too!

♥ 4:43pm maggiemaggie:

I have been listening to The Back Seat of My Car over and over all week lol

4:43pm stephen adams:

greetings from the uk, really enjoying the tunes

4:43pm Listener Jumpy:

So, is that the real Paul or Faul? Giant intellects want to know.

♥ 4:44pm Matt Clarke:

There is only 1 Paul! You can tell by the way he nervously rub his nose and eye with his index finger

4:45pm fredr:

Way to go Matt! Great Saturday afternoon playlist!

4:46pm burpage:

matt again thanks tunage awesome

♥ 4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Yerknow - Floyd's debut album - Piper- was recorded in another part of AbbeyRoad when Paulie&Co. were doing Pepper...& 1st to follow the Fabs in their part after Pepper - them bespoke Zombies to do 'Odessey' parts...

4:49pm Joe B:

Hey Matt!

4:49pm Ace Kefford:

I resent that comment about the Move. I obviously had the best stage moves!

♥ 4:49pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Joe B and fredr!
Fun hanging with ya last night! McCartney goes out to you Joe B!

♥ 4:50pm Matt Clarke:

But Trevor Burton had the "Balls" tho!

♥ 4:51pm Marc Francis:

DAMN!!!! CHOOOOOOOOON

♥ 4:51pm Tommy in Neversink:

This show is most excellent in my estimation

4:52pm Joe B:

thanks Matt, great time last night!

♥ 4:52pm Marc Francis:

Song of the day!!!!

♥ 4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Epeesode ThirtyThousand of 'Soundbreaking':
...'Jus' Bang On Some Schizzle'...

4:54pm Bluesman:

I agree with you Mr. Kefford. I always thought Carl, God rest his soul, had kinda dorky moves.

♥ 4:54pm Matt Clarke:

@Bluesman: If only there was video of him taking an axe to those cars and television sets

♥ 4:55pm Matt Clarke:

Hey Tommy!

♥ 5:00pm Guido from Cologne:

There is a German version of Terry, but not so good. No traffic accident!

♥ 5:00pm Matt Clarke:

Guido: I'd love to hear that tho! Do you know who the artist is?

♥ 5:02pm Hughie Considine:

oh, untimely death!

♥ 5:04pm Guido from Cologne:

The artist is Marion Litterscheid, later known as marion Maerz.
It is her debut on Polydor. She later made Bacharach inspired girl pop.
www.discogs.com...

♥ 5:05pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Gosh, a Cher song! You're full of surprises today, Matt.

♥ 5:05pm Guido from Cologne:

There must be a CD in the WFMU archives containing that track.
And her version of ray davis' "I Go To Sleep"

♥ 5:07pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks Guido! I will check it out
Hey Ken!

5:10pm Joe B:

great Love Generation song!

♥ 5:11pm Matt Clarke:

Yea Joe!

5:15pm geezerette:

"A nursery rhyme too hot to handle." !!!

♥ 5:18pm Matt Clarke:

Ha!

♥ 5:18pm Guido from Cologne:

Love that Wendy and Bonnie album

5:22pm Echoplex:

5:22pm V Priceless:

Great tunes Matt! This Sergio rules!

5:23pm Richard.Whig:

Glynis sez thanks fir this set! On out way to see the Schizophonics this afternoon.

♥ 5:23pm medson:

Sounding so good

♥ 5:24pm Matt Clarke:

Cool Richar! Hi Glynis! Tell Pat and Lety hola!!

5:24pm geezerette:

Makes me wonder if The Beatles were going for Bossa Nova when they wrote this? So perfect.

♥ 5:35pm Listener Robert:

Oh, a CHALICE. I heard it as, "A Dixie Cup can be a challenge for us." As I imagined it, they were staying in a bad motel -- I heard a previous line, maybe incorrectly too, as, "This place is a dump." -- where getting so much as a Dixie cup could be a challenge.

5:36pm louie:

you should fill in more often! Great show!

♥ 5:36pm Matt Clarke:

Thanks Louie!

♥ 5:37pm Matt Clarke:

Is the lyric "oh what a dump, now it's a palace"?

♥ 5:44pm Frank In Queens:

Ending strong!

♥ 5:44pm medson:

Awesome Set. Hot Damn

♥ 5:44pm Matt Clarke:

Peaks and Valleys!
