Noticed I was having some really weird dreams, woke up and side 2 of A Love Supreme was on the radio. Then Matthew Hermes read the poem from the liner notes, which felt like it took half an hour. It was probably the closest I'll ever get to experiencing the tripping-balls progressive FM radio of the '70s.

Quote:
Also, he's not really doing the schticky overnight-jock voice like some male Alison Nightbird Steele anymore, which helps immensely, because sometimes it's a bit much.

Scratch that.

Continuing the 'Trane-in-overnights theme, I woke up this morning to the tail end of "My Favorite Things."

They played Grant Green's version the other day, which is more or less the same arrangement but with a guitar as the lead voice instead of a soprano sax. It's almost as good.

Nothing justifies the Spotify premium sub quite like the 28 min, 3 movement Frank Zappa and the London Symphony block.

I believe the LSO recording was the only time Zappa admitted one of his albums sucked. He said the musicians just got drunk the whole time.

It might be fun for a little, but this motherfucker played it non stop for 28 minutes. At least he warned everyone. I just complimented Notes from the Jazz Underground a couple weeks ago and he does that shit.

TWO HOURS OF NOTHING BUT ZAPPA TONIGHT.

Quote:
Paul Abella celebrates Frank Zappa’s 75th birthday with a show featuring Zappa's work with George Duke and Ian Underwood. He’ll spin two complete Zappa album sides - from Sleep Dirt and Roxy and Elsewhere, along with classics from Hot Rats, Jazz From Hell and Overnite Sensation.


Oh god, Jazz From Hell, will he play "G-Spot Tornado"?

I skipped last night. I'm a little spent on Allen Toussaint and Frank Zappa-a-thons on WDCB.

Must be a new Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead album out, Abella's playing an impressionistic piano rendition of "Jigsaw Falling Into Place."

The Midwest Ballroom host just introed a terrible easy-listening arrangement of "Mrs. Robinson" with "here's a song about a terrible person." :?

I like big band music, but I don't see the point in being so bitter about everything that isn't big band. I'm pretty sure the show is for people 80 and over.

Listening tonight? Notes had a good Bowie tribute, one of the more ecletic Bowie-playlists I've heard in the past week.

Nah, I missed it. I kinda Bowied myself out over the course of the week, to be honest, and didn't think he'd fit the format enough for a tribute. Checking the playlist now, no kidding about the eclectic choices. I'm gonna have to cobble this together myself.

You're always going to get better post-mortem tributes from places like DCB. A nerd who volunteers at a public radio station in Glen Ellyn carefully building a playlist over the course of weeks is going to do twice the job some bozo trying to cobble something together the morning after.

Daft Punk and Daft Punk source music on Infinite Groove tonight: "Something About Us" coming out of "Release the Beast," the basis for "Robot Rock." Awesome, love Daft Punk stuff.

HOLY FUCK YEAH they're playing Deodato's "Also Sprach Zarathustra," famously used in one of my favorite movies ever, Being There! A groove worthy of infinity right here. Love it.


The normally anodyne Sounds of Brazil show is playing this right now.

I was supposed to get a notification for when Being There would be on TCM again. I think I missed it.

"Agua y Piedra" is the name of this marimba/vibes showcase I caught this morning and loved. Recommended if you like Bobby Hutcherson.

Yes, 90.7 in the city.

I realize that map is not terribly helpful, so I'll add that the purple circle goes to about Central Avenue to the west, Montrose to the north, and 59th to the south.

Infinite Groove without Bob Signorelli is lacking, to say the least. Out with the sample sources to every rap song from the '90s, in with Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Fiona Apple, I guess.

This Friday is the last Notes from the Jazz Underground, which bums me out. That was a pretty awesome radio show.

Just heard "Alameda" by Elliott Smith but played on the vibes. Unexpected but very cool.
