"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.)

'Morning John, everyone. @Krys O: regarding your comment on Tom Snyder's interview with John Lydon: yes, that's must-watch material. I also recently saw TS's infamous interview with Kiss, the one where Ace was obviously wasted and having a grand old time (guy has one infectious hyena laugh) much to Gene and Paul's chagrin. Really worth a watch.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:49am
Irwin:

John pioneered the concept decades ago. Consults under a pseudonym for WBGO and other "safe jazz" outlets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:50am
steveo:

"WBGO affiliated with National Public Radio (NPR) and went to a 24-hour broadcast day in 1980 when the only other full-time jazz station in the New York Metro market, WRVR (a commercial station), changed its format to country-western music."

Did WRVR play REAL country music?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:50am

The format strives to avoid any jazz that has the "wrong notes."
