"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

I need to click the star on this Rolnick song every single time. It's a highlight of my week.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:10am
Rich in Bay Ridge:

Agree @karl - this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard and it never gets old.

ynisvitrin:

I'm sorry if thousands of people before me have asked this every Friday, but... What's the backstory with this??
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:14am
AndrewC.:

It's just the theme tune for the show right? A long theme tune sure, but just a theme tune.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:15am
Rich in Bay Ridge:

It's a performance by Neil Rolnick. I don't know much beyond the fact that it's great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16am
AndrewC.:

I confess I did have a liking for the old 6am style of show start. i.e. JA rushes in at 0559, throws on the longest song that is close at hand, and runs off to make coffee.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:17am
karlward:

Just like I don't need no instructions to know how to rock, I don't need the backstory to decide what we're gonna tell your mom.

Though sometimes I did hear rather more JM in the AM than I needed to.

At this rate we hear thar Rolnick piece 12 hours every year. Bravo!
Avatar 9:18am
Wild Neil||Peace All:

Neil Rolnick is a living, modern composer. So was Frank Zappa. Different tastes for different folks I guess. I used to HATE HATE HATE this song, now I find small bits of it interesting.
JM in the AM was kinda extreme politically from what I have heard.

He has been playing the same 3 Evanescence songs from his laptop on repeat since Tuesday. The irony is I'm rather certain he is more sick of it than I, as I find the situation to be hilarious. CARRY ON

@Diezel Tea: Playing my music and WFMU got me to overturn the the no headphones policy at my old job (they couldn't stand what I was playing)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:11am
Rob (Jerzcity):

is that a defense, or just the way that people listen to evanescence normally?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 10:12am

I have no clue what evanescence is.......

Diezel Tea:

Haha @Rob, at first I thought it was a whole album on repeat, but today I discovered it's only 3 songs on loop. @NGH I was happy with my headphones in except that it became annoying being that I'm a heavy smoker and leave my desk about every 30 minutes.
Avatar 10:13am
Diezel Tea:

@NGH you've heard it before prolly a few years ago, radio rock band that had a pop hit
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 10:17am
northguineahills:

Now I want to hear Running the Jewels collaborate w/ Turning Jewels into water + Night Jewel, and maybe even throw in Jewel for good measure.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:18am
Rob (Jerzcity):

they had that 'wake me up inside' song that sounds like linkin park i think? maybe that could be an alternate JA/AM theme song to 'wake up'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19am
AndrewC.:

Your workplace had a no headphones rule, but you could just play music out loud??
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20am
Rob (Jerzcity):

@ngh - El-P would probably be down with that
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 10:23am
northguineahills:

@Rob: Chatted w/ El-P once at a bar in Williamsburg. All of these fan girls were trying to get his attention. He waved them off and talked to me b/c I just wanted to talk about music. Solid lad!

@Wild Neil: El-P started w/ the indie hiphop group in the 90s, Company Flow. Then he started the label Def Jux, and started producing and doing solo work. He has lately been doing an eclectic hiphop pop group w/ Killer Mike called Run the Jewels, and actually is pretty decent.

The reverb-or flanger/chorus?- on the fold sounded a lot like some dark wave 80's bands to me.

So my neighbors have about 12 chickens and now a young raccoon will not leave them alone. Their chickens' feed has attracted rats, now we have the raccoon and some skunks around. Wild freaking kingdom up in here!

@Neil, you need a cobra and perhaps a wolf. If that doesn't solve the problem, at least it would be more interesting.
