Hi Therese and everyone.
Chresti - I'm grabbing a an hour or so before the game, broadcast live on the BBC.
The one night of the year I stay up very late. It'll be 3.30am over here by the time it's over.
Strange behaviour for an English person and I only have one friend who'll be doing the same. He's 400 miles away but we have the Whatsapp open.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:25pm
Stanley:

Thanks, steveL. We're lucky to have highlights once a week over here and the London games broadcast in full. I'm not a big sports fan but American Football thrills me. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the culture that surrounds it.

Listener Robert:

Over dinner here with my friend, I was trying to remember what TV show theme that was a few tracks back -- shocked to not be able to find it by that name on the playlist. So either it was known by another name, or they covered it by a rearrangement without credit.

It was a comedy, maybe The Mothers-In-Law.

Therese, if you know what TV show that was quoting (or ripping off) the theme of, could you please say it when you back announce? It must've been either Spectrum or Poor Moon. Otherwise I'm going to have to listen to the archive and wrack my brain forever.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:38pm
Mr. Pumpy:

I found it! Well...not sure about TV shows, but the Atomic Forest track has a lick or two in it from Billy Cobham's Spectrum album from track Stratus. I think the intro was also from a Mahavishnu song. Trying to track down which one now. Here's the Cobham track:www.youtube.com...

Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm
Mr. Pumpy:

@ Therese...thanks! Imma check out Atomic Forest now...try and get some vinyl. Do you have any knowledge that can help me with this Cobham/Mahavishnu link? I't probably they were just fans and were paying homage. Thanks...
  6:43pm
Listener Robert:

I found what I was looking for too...it was indeed the main theme from Mothers-in-Law, and someone has put on YouTube hilarious descriptive-of-the-show lyrics to it -- www.youtube.com...

Now I still have to listen to the archive to determine which track in that last set it was.

Using SoundCloud, I've ruled out Poor Moon. So must've been Spectrum from Disco Roar.
  6:55pm
Beep Boop:

Good new song!
  6:56pm
Listener Robert:

YES!! soundcloud.com... starting at 55 seconds, compare to www.youtube.com...

I guess that counts as parody. If not, it's just a rip-off.

Listener Robert:

You have to start at 0:15 of The Mothers In Law to hear the quoted passage.

Listener Schned:

At the risk of cliche: hear ya, Therese, recently ran into someone I was at Hunter College with, like a solid 40 years ago- the connection was also brief-ish but affirmative, we now touch base here and there, supportively, and it's a great help in the era of the "dumpster fire" (!) Nice phrase-coinage, great broadcast as always!

  7:29pm
Listener Robert:

I just noticed "Spectrum" also started with a similar bongos roll to the Mothers In Law theme. So I guess that means it was a tribute or homage, because you wouldn't put in that much musical allusion unless you wanted someone to catch it.
