WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from June 23, 2024

Listener comments!
	🕰 7:00pm Listener Gregory: I don't see the clock in today's photo...
	🕰 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Would you be interested in a "Laughing Clock Book... I think the title is "From ANALOG to Digital," though your title is cleverer.
	7:05pm Jeff g. via app,: Cello!
	7:06pm adamdoesit: Hey DJ Peter and clock-watchers!
	7:06pm DJ Peter: Thanks LG for keeping me honest. Honester anyway. Cello yourself Ceff!
	7:08pm DJ Peter: adamdoesIT! Hey hey!
	🕰 7:10pm Listener Gregory: DJP, do you or Jeff (or anyone) know about the following book, which I saw unexpectedly in a local poetry book store? "3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool" by James Kaplan. Published in March.
	🕰 7:11pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 New one on me!
	7:13pm northguineahills: I heart Joelle Leandre! Seen her live a few times!
	7:13pm doctorjazz: Hi Clockmeisters! Here, but quite beat!
	7:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 I did page through it at an excellent Seattle bookstore (Elliot Bay Books) before opting for the LIVING SPACE book mentioned above. It has a lot of biographical info on the three but... there are multiple bios of all three out there already. I looked closely at the accounts of the recording sessions to see if there were any special insights... bottom line: if someone said "I don't know anything about jazz but I hear this KINDA BLUE record is important" it would be an excellent work of initiation into our cult. But if you've already drunk the kool-aid maybe not?
	7:14pm DJ Peter: Hiya doc!
	7:16pm DJ Peter: northguineahills: envious! I think I've only seen twice, once with Tiger Trio and once with Hear and Now. Is she in Hear and Now?
	🕰 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Roaring Tree #4" by "Joëlle Léandre" Interesting, they released the whole VF evening? I watched it online.
	🕰 7:17pm Jeff Golick: Are we living through a new golden age of cello improvisors? Tomeka Reid, Erik Friedlander, Christopher Hoffman, Hank Roberts, Fred Lonberg-Holm, others I'm forgetting...!?
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:16 I didn't get to! Yes, that's the deal. Plus I guess one disk from a 2024 concert, and the DVD.
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 Thanks.
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Roaring Tree #4" by "Joëlle Léandre" Craig Taborn getting his Cecil Taylor chops out on this one.
	🕰 7:18pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 Here in Now has a different European bull fiddler, Silvia Bolognesi.
	7:19pm northguineahills: Peter! here making tacos!
	🕰 7:20pm Jeff Golick: ↳ northguineahills @7:19 Aggressively gringo-esque quesadillas over here, ngh
	7:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:17 Did I miss the first golden age? Or does Wadud count for the first golden age all on his own? And thanks, I was afraid of that. Well it's because we're leaving through a golden age of women bassists... Oh, Ueda, Spaulding, Slocum...
	7:22pm DJ Peter: Okay I think there are enough folks here that I'm gonna roll into an aircheck from the Half Note in 1965 at the bottom of the hour... hint: it's a quartet that didn't blink at 25-minute stretches on one tune...
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:17 Reid has played on enough records to constitute a golden age all by herself.
	7:25pm Dean: So many cello masters: Rostropovich, Bylsma, Starker, Cora...
	7:25pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and clockcleaners
	7:27pm DJ Peter: coelacanthø! Has anyone found the clock in the photo yet?
	7:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:27 on the tower right in the center?
	7:33pm coelacanth∅: ...or maybe a giant digital clock on that white panel on an ugly building - upper right from the tower (steeple?) in the middle -?
	7:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:30 I think your first guess is right. (Though your second one may be right, too.)
	7:34pm doctorjazz: Went into NYC via mass transit today. 4 hours traveling, abd last train was cancelled, took a Lyft. And they don't want is to drive in (and I don't like driving in, but...).
	7:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @7:34 the 2ng option may just be a big window
	🕰 7:35pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Ooof sorry to hear that, doc.
	7:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Oof no wonder you are beat!
	7:35pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 It does look the part tho. Where's the snooze bar?
	7:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 damn. how's this gonna work??
	🕰 7:36pm Jeff Golick: @DJP, I see the Veal is via Wesleyan UP. How's the text, on an academese scale?
	7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:30 Yes indeed, that's the William Penn purchased above a clock tower in the dang center of Philadelphia, as viewed from the Art Museum. (Mary Cassatt exhibit, saw yesterday)
	7:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 by the way, Thank you doctor!
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:36 Sure thing!
	7:37pm coelacanth∅: dr.j - ever thought about opening up your practice closer to home?!
	7:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:36 It's readable prose. He's segregated the discussion of architecture in the abstract from the Coltrane and Miles chapters, so you can skip if you want. Really digging the Coltrane chapter, I've read as far as "Living Space" and I think Rashied Ali will appear soon...
	7:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:36 DJ Peter, so is the motto of the book club "Try the Veal?" I'm intrigued, though I don't know if I could get with an email thing. Why that, as opposed to Zoom, Discord, or the like?
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:37 I'm winding down, cut hours to 3 days/week, not time for new undertaking (and I was going in to see a friend today).
	7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 Also I think this is one of those things where if I had read the Coltrane chapter first and then turned back to the architecture chapter, it would be more intuitive at that point. All depends on what you're bringing to the book (and I'm bringing knowledge of Coltrane NOT knowledge of architecture)
	7:40pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 (reason #8 i don't live in central jersey)
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:39 Zoom (or other live convo) would be best, but I'm mindful that not everyone is in the same timezone.
	7:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 right on. -maybe you'll figure out certain times of day that aren't as bad
	7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Creation" by "John Coltrane Quartet" WABC broadcast-can you imagine commercial radio broadcasting something like this today?
	7:41pm DJ Peter: That said, it depends on who signs up! If the group can find a time together, maybe we'll do it that way
	7:41pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 i prefer my academia unreadable. it's how i talk anyways (ask anyone)
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:39 p.s. I can't let "try the veal" go unacknowledged. I salute you!
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 I missed something, "group"?
	🕰 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:36 Yikes! Also, when I hear these live Coltrane pieces, I often try to figure out what the audiences at the time thought about them. And this was broadcast on WABC??? That was the top-40 station I listened to while growing up.
	7:42pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 Thanks, I'll be here all week! Makes sense about scheduling.
	7:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Creation" by "John Coltrane Quartet" one of my favorite coltrane compositions!
	7:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 Proposing a book club! But it's only theoretical at this point while I gauge interest
	7:44pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 'try the waitress, tip the veal?" /i'll show myself out (still making tacos)
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @7:41 Great profile of Judith Butler recently in the New Yorker. After years of defending her prose, she now says, "sorry about the sentences" and shrugs.
	🕰 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 Have you read Ratliff's Coltrane book?
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 I have not! You recommend? (When oh when will Francis Davis finish his Coltrane book. Or has it become his Game of Thrones?)
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 Always liked Ratliff's NY Times writing, didn't read the Coltrane book.
	🕰 7:47pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:45 I do recommend! I found it insightful and fairly light (complimentary) for a book of its kind. Learned a lot.
	7:48pm Dean: I have bumped into Judith in the supermarket. She buys stuff, just like the rest of us.
	7:50pm Dean: But her work is pretty much bogus. I believe that Derrida's alphabet soup could in fact amount to something, but Judith Butler's? No, not really.
	7:50pm DJ Peter: dean, WR, if I didn't already greet you: I greet you now, belatedly!
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: Elvin!
	7:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 I couldn't get through it. Dropped out after her trim black blazer and old BMW. Too fawning for me.
	7:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @7:53 Sorry, that's the Judith Butler NYer piece, not the Coltrane book.
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:53 So after hearing Elvin play like this every night, Coltrane thought to himself, "We need to add a drummer, to get a fuller sound." What??
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter and people...
	🕰 8:00pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Yikes "last train cancelled" sorry to hear that. And then you have to scramble and pay unexpected expense.
	8:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:00 It sucked, thanks!
	8:02pm chresti: Hi DJ Peter and clockers!
	8:04pm DJ Peter: Hi chresti! Any news from the nest?
	🕰 8:04pm Listener Gregory: Peter, I can't wait for the October issue of Downbeat to come out and see how you do in the Jazz DJ rankings this year. With the new show, you will definitely beat last year's unfair snubbing.
	8:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 It's even worse than I described, but enough of that, mellowing out, defrosting a froze vegetable soup.
	8:05pm Dean: Rankings? Really?
	8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 a certain housemate of mine just started working at a library, so i can find that article!
	8:10pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 Haven't seen much action last time I looked.. Here's an ongoing recap of what was observed each day (needs to be refreshed to see the latest) docs.google.com...
	8:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Miss Flits" by "Herman Schoonderwalt and His Orch... Lovely track!
	8:11pm Dean: The NY Butler article: Sehgal P. The Phantasm. New Yorker. 2024;100(11):14-20. Accessed June 24, 2024. https://search-ebscohost-com.libproxy.berkeley.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=176860148&site=ehost-live
	🕰 8:16pm Listener Gregory: I happen to know that the #2 Dutch jazz DJ is pretty bitter about the whole ranking system, saying that if he didn't broadcast from Eindhoven, he would easily beat that Amsterdam poseur.
	8:19pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Dreams (Alternate Take)" by "Susie Ibarra Trio" All right bonus clocks!
	8:21pm coelacanth∅: drawing a blank, eh? -that's the kind of visual art John Cage could get behind
	🕰 8:22pm Listener Gregory: I'm convinced that I could have named the Jamal drummer... up to the moment that DJP said he was blanking on the name, whereupon I could no longer come up with it.
	8:22pm DJ Peter: Vernel Fournier!
	8:23pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, catch the rest tomorrow, thanks DJ Peter!
	8:24pm coelacanth∅: i could not have gotten that - being barely familiar with the name
	8:24pm coelacanth∅: g'night doctor
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:24 I think what happened is the name was so classy that it refused to stay in my head. I'm sure the Nederlands top jazz DJ would remember.
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:26 vernel fournier sounds new orleans
	8:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 tick VG! head of the class!
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: yep born there
	8:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:26 - as would #2
	8:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:29 profile pic: one of your paintings? I'm put in mind of a baseball mitt, wrapped up to break it in
	🕰 8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:22 No, I never could have come up with it. It's a shame you remembered, because now I have to live with that fact.
	8:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 when we're watching Jeopardy, and the answer is on the tip of my tongue, if Mrs. DJP says anything it becomes impossible to retrieve it, Funny how that is.
	8:32pm chresti: I imagine my memories floating around and increasingly get harder to recall when they have a stack of recent memories on top of them.
	8:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Three Gifts (From a Nigerian Mother to God)" by "... new to me and digdug!
	8:34pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:21 haha!
	8:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 a drawing of shoes tied together... from college...a dj played 'old brown shoe' by the beatles so i put it up
	8:34pm adamdoesit: I'm winding down for the evening. Thanks for the urbane feels, DJ Peter!
	8:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 Ah, I see that now. Sperry Top-Siders I want to say.
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 i did many drawings of shoes "in bondage" which was the first step working toward those abstract paintings you saw
	🕰 8:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Exclamation" by "Ben Patterson Jazz Orchestra" This is lively.
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 yes i was in new england in school ...preppie country ...instead of goodbye porkpie hat it was goodbye boat shoes
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 i never saw such things until coming to New England for college
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:32 i like that visual...imagining each memory having wings, flying around in there...you get a glimpse of it and it's obscured again; or it flies by right in reach but it's too fast to catch
	8:41pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 That's my schedule too (MTW) and it gets tougher in the summer
	8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 right... although i bought them on long island... they were timberland, so urban/ preppie
	8:44pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 that's a good one, with wings.
	8:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tears for Johannesburg" by "Max Roach" this reminds me of an exquisite video i saw of dionne warwick singing 'walk on by' in belgium circa mid 60's in b/w
	8:48pm tom tom the pipers son: warwick 1964 www.google.com...
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:48 don't! stop!
	8:50pm tom tom the pipers son: oh ok didn't mean for now
	8:51pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 like a swarm of flies..
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 don't stop! (looking forward to watching the video: so excited that I'm singing along with Dionne's backup singers: don't! stop!)
	🕰 8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @8:51 If you or someone else gives a wrong answer to a question, it competes with the correct answer in your head, because it has just been overtly stated. That's why it is so terrible when someone suggests an answer they don't actually know. It makes your memory worse. (So says memory interference theory.)
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 oh, let me post correct link www.youtube.com...
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:51 haha, i was thinking birds, but...! - trying to think of how to draw that. 'seems impossible -to depict each bird (or fly) as a memory it'd get excruciatingly detailed to the point of ruining it. (like: writing a memory on each of hundreds of birds inside the space of a person's brain!)
	8:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 haha i didn't get that!
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter.... yes flew over my head
	9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: i'm all for book club but have some personal issues to deal with before i'd be able to join
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Peter. You are the #1 jazz DJ on WFMU at this time slot. And I mean that.
	9:02pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 Thanks DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from June 23, 2024

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Listener comments!
	🕰 7:00pm Listener Gregory: I don't see the clock in today's photo...
	🕰 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Would you be interested in a "Laughing Clock Book... I think the title is "From ANALOG to Digital," though your title is cleverer.
	7:05pm Jeff g. via app,: Cello!
	7:06pm adamdoesit: Hey DJ Peter and clock-watchers!
	7:06pm DJ Peter: Thanks LG for keeping me honest. Honester anyway. Cello yourself Ceff!
	7:08pm DJ Peter: adamdoesIT! Hey hey!
	🕰 7:10pm Listener Gregory: DJP, do you or Jeff (or anyone) know about the following book, which I saw unexpectedly in a local poetry book store? "3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool" by James Kaplan. Published in March.
	🕰 7:11pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 New one on me!
	7:13pm northguineahills: I heart Joelle Leandre! Seen her live a few times!
	7:13pm doctorjazz: Hi Clockmeisters! Here, but quite beat!
	7:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 I did page through it at an excellent Seattle bookstore (Elliot Bay Books) before opting for the LIVING SPACE book mentioned above. It has a lot of biographical info on the three but... there are multiple bios of all three out there already. I looked closely at the accounts of the recording sessions to see if there were any special insights... bottom line: if someone said "I don't know anything about jazz but I hear this KINDA BLUE record is important" it would be an excellent work of initiation into our cult. But if you've already drunk the kool-aid maybe not?
	7:14pm DJ Peter: Hiya doc!
	7:16pm DJ Peter: northguineahills: envious! I think I've only seen twice, once with Tiger Trio and once with Hear and Now. Is she in Hear and Now?
	🕰 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Roaring Tree #4" by "Joëlle Léandre" Interesting, they released the whole VF evening? I watched it online.
	🕰 7:17pm Jeff Golick: Are we living through a new golden age of cello improvisors? Tomeka Reid, Erik Friedlander, Christopher Hoffman, Hank Roberts, Fred Lonberg-Holm, others I'm forgetting...!?
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:16 I didn't get to! Yes, that's the deal. Plus I guess one disk from a 2024 concert, and the DVD.
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 Thanks.
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Roaring Tree #4" by "Joëlle Léandre" Craig Taborn getting his Cecil Taylor chops out on this one.
	🕰 7:18pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 Here in Now has a different European bull fiddler, Silvia Bolognesi.
	7:19pm northguineahills: Peter! here making tacos!
	🕰 7:20pm Jeff Golick: ↳ northguineahills @7:19 Aggressively gringo-esque quesadillas over here, ngh
	7:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:17 Did I miss the first golden age? Or does Wadud count for the first golden age all on his own? And thanks, I was afraid of that. Well it's because we're leaving through a golden age of women bassists... Oh, Ueda, Spaulding, Slocum...
	7:22pm DJ Peter: Okay I think there are enough folks here that I'm gonna roll into an aircheck from the Half Note in 1965 at the bottom of the hour... hint: it's a quartet that didn't blink at 25-minute stretches on one tune...
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:17 Reid has played on enough records to constitute a golden age all by herself.
	7:25pm Dean: So many cello masters: Rostropovich, Bylsma, Starker, Cora...
	7:25pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and clockcleaners
	7:27pm DJ Peter: coelacanthø! Has anyone found the clock in the photo yet?
	7:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:27 on the tower right in the center?
	7:33pm coelacanth∅: ...or maybe a giant digital clock on that white panel on an ugly building - upper right from the tower (steeple?) in the middle -?
	7:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:30 I think your first guess is right. (Though your second one may be right, too.)
	7:34pm doctorjazz: Went into NYC via mass transit today. 4 hours traveling, abd last train was cancelled, took a Lyft. And they don't want is to drive in (and I don't like driving in, but...).
	7:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @7:34 the 2ng option may just be a big window
	🕰 7:35pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Ooof sorry to hear that, doc.
	7:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Oof no wonder you are beat!
	7:35pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 It does look the part tho. Where's the snooze bar?
	7:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 damn. how's this gonna work??
	🕰 7:36pm Jeff Golick: @DJP, I see the Veal is via Wesleyan UP. How's the text, on an academese scale?
	7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:30 Yes indeed, that's the William Penn purchased above a clock tower in the dang center of Philadelphia, as viewed from the Art Museum. (Mary Cassatt exhibit, saw yesterday)
	7:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 by the way, Thank you doctor!
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:36 Sure thing!
	7:37pm coelacanth∅: dr.j - ever thought about opening up your practice closer to home?!
	7:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:36 It's readable prose. He's segregated the discussion of architecture in the abstract from the Coltrane and Miles chapters, so you can skip if you want. Really digging the Coltrane chapter, I've read as far as "Living Space" and I think Rashied Ali will appear soon...
	7:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:36 DJ Peter, so is the motto of the book club "Try the Veal?" I'm intrigued, though I don't know if I could get with an email thing. Why that, as opposed to Zoom, Discord, or the like?
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:37 I'm winding down, cut hours to 3 days/week, not time for new undertaking (and I was going in to see a friend today).
	7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 Also I think this is one of those things where if I had read the Coltrane chapter first and then turned back to the architecture chapter, it would be more intuitive at that point. All depends on what you're bringing to the book (and I'm bringing knowledge of Coltrane NOT knowledge of architecture)
	7:40pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 (reason #8 i don't live in central jersey)
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:39 Zoom (or other live convo) would be best, but I'm mindful that not everyone is in the same timezone.
	7:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 right on. -maybe you'll figure out certain times of day that aren't as bad
	7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Creation" by "John Coltrane Quartet" WABC broadcast-can you imagine commercial radio broadcasting something like this today?
	7:41pm DJ Peter: That said, it depends on who signs up! If the group can find a time together, maybe we'll do it that way
	7:41pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 i prefer my academia unreadable. it's how i talk anyways (ask anyone)
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:39 p.s. I can't let "try the veal" go unacknowledged. I salute you!
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 I missed something, "group"?
	🕰 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:36 Yikes! Also, when I hear these live Coltrane pieces, I often try to figure out what the audiences at the time thought about them. And this was broadcast on WABC??? That was the top-40 station I listened to while growing up.
	7:42pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 Thanks, I'll be here all week! Makes sense about scheduling.
	7:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Creation" by "John Coltrane Quartet" one of my favorite coltrane compositions!
	7:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 Proposing a book club! But it's only theoretical at this point while I gauge interest
	7:44pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 'try the waitress, tip the veal?" /i'll show myself out (still making tacos)
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @7:41 Great profile of Judith Butler recently in the New Yorker. After years of defending her prose, she now says, "sorry about the sentences" and shrugs.
	🕰 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 Have you read Ratliff's Coltrane book?
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 I have not! You recommend? (When oh when will Francis Davis finish his Coltrane book. Or has it become his Game of Thrones?)
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 Always liked Ratliff's NY Times writing, didn't read the Coltrane book.
	🕰 7:47pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:45 I do recommend! I found it insightful and fairly light (complimentary) for a book of its kind. Learned a lot.
	7:48pm Dean: I have bumped into Judith in the supermarket. She buys stuff, just like the rest of us.
	7:50pm Dean: But her work is pretty much bogus. I believe that Derrida's alphabet soup could in fact amount to something, but Judith Butler's? No, not really.
	7:50pm DJ Peter: dean, WR, if I didn't already greet you: I greet you now, belatedly!
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: Elvin!
	7:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 I couldn't get through it. Dropped out after her trim black blazer and old BMW. Too fawning for me.
	7:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @7:53 Sorry, that's the Judith Butler NYer piece, not the Coltrane book.
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:53 So after hearing Elvin play like this every night, Coltrane thought to himself, "We need to add a drummer, to get a fuller sound." What??
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter and people...
	🕰 8:00pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 Yikes "last train cancelled" sorry to hear that. And then you have to scramble and pay unexpected expense.
	8:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:00 It sucked, thanks!
	8:02pm chresti: Hi DJ Peter and clockers!
	8:04pm DJ Peter: Hi chresti! Any news from the nest?
	🕰 8:04pm Listener Gregory: Peter, I can't wait for the October issue of Downbeat to come out and see how you do in the Jazz DJ rankings this year. With the new show, you will definitely beat last year's unfair snubbing.
	8:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 It's even worse than I described, but enough of that, mellowing out, defrosting a froze vegetable soup.
	8:05pm Dean: Rankings? Really?
	8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 a certain housemate of mine just started working at a library, so i can find that article!
	8:10pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 Haven't seen much action last time I looked.. Here's an ongoing recap of what was observed each day (needs to be refreshed to see the latest) docs.google.com...
	8:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Miss Flits" by "Herman Schoonderwalt and His Orch... Lovely track!
	8:11pm Dean: The NY Butler article: Sehgal P. The Phantasm. New Yorker. 2024;100(11):14-20. Accessed June 24, 2024. https://search-ebscohost-com.libproxy.berkeley.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=176860148&site=ehost-live
	🕰 8:16pm Listener Gregory: I happen to know that the #2 Dutch jazz DJ is pretty bitter about the whole ranking system, saying that if he didn't broadcast from Eindhoven, he would easily beat that Amsterdam poseur.
	8:19pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Dreams (Alternate Take)" by "Susie Ibarra Trio" All right bonus clocks!
	8:21pm coelacanth∅: drawing a blank, eh? -that's the kind of visual art John Cage could get behind
	🕰 8:22pm Listener Gregory: I'm convinced that I could have named the Jamal drummer... up to the moment that DJP said he was blanking on the name, whereupon I could no longer come up with it.
	8:22pm DJ Peter: Vernel Fournier!
	8:23pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, catch the rest tomorrow, thanks DJ Peter!
	8:24pm coelacanth∅: i could not have gotten that - being barely familiar with the name
	8:24pm coelacanth∅: g'night doctor
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:24 I think what happened is the name was so classy that it refused to stay in my head. I'm sure the Nederlands top jazz DJ would remember.
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:26 vernel fournier sounds new orleans
	8:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 tick VG! head of the class!
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: yep born there
	8:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:26 - as would #2
	8:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:29 profile pic: one of your paintings? I'm put in mind of a baseball mitt, wrapped up to break it in
	🕰 8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:22 No, I never could have come up with it. It's a shame you remembered, because now I have to live with that fact.
	8:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 when we're watching Jeopardy, and the answer is on the tip of my tongue, if Mrs. DJP says anything it becomes impossible to retrieve it, Funny how that is.
	8:32pm chresti: I imagine my memories floating around and increasingly get harder to recall when they have a stack of recent memories on top of them.
	8:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Three Gifts (From a Nigerian Mother to God)" by "... new to me and digdug!
	8:34pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:21 haha!
	8:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 a drawing of shoes tied together... from college...a dj played 'old brown shoe' by the beatles so i put it up
	8:34pm adamdoesit: I'm winding down for the evening. Thanks for the urbane feels, DJ Peter!
	8:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 Ah, I see that now. Sperry Top-Siders I want to say.
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 i did many drawings of shoes "in bondage" which was the first step working toward those abstract paintings you saw
	🕰 8:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Exclamation" by "Ben Patterson Jazz Orchestra" This is lively.
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 yes i was in new england in school ...preppie country ...instead of goodbye porkpie hat it was goodbye boat shoes
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 i never saw such things until coming to New England for college
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:32 i like that visual...imagining each memory having wings, flying around in there...you get a glimpse of it and it's obscured again; or it flies by right in reach but it's too fast to catch
	8:41pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 That's my schedule too (MTW) and it gets tougher in the summer
	8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 right... although i bought them on long island... they were timberland, so urban/ preppie
	8:44pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 that's a good one, with wings.
	8:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tears for Johannesburg" by "Max Roach" this reminds me of an exquisite video i saw of dionne warwick singing 'walk on by' in belgium circa mid 60's in b/w
	8:48pm tom tom the pipers son: warwick 1964 www.google.com...
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:48 don't! stop!
	8:50pm tom tom the pipers son: oh ok didn't mean for now
	8:51pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 like a swarm of flies..
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 don't stop! (looking forward to watching the video: so excited that I'm singing along with Dionne's backup singers: don't! stop!)
	🕰 8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @8:51 If you or someone else gives a wrong answer to a question, it competes with the correct answer in your head, because it has just been overtly stated. That's why it is so terrible when someone suggests an answer they don't actually know. It makes your memory worse. (So says memory interference theory.)
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 oh, let me post correct link www.youtube.com...
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:51 haha, i was thinking birds, but...! - trying to think of how to draw that. 'seems impossible -to depict each bird (or fly) as a memory it'd get excruciatingly detailed to the point of ruining it. (like: writing a memory on each of hundreds of birds inside the space of a person's brain!)
	8:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 haha i didn't get that!
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter.... yes flew over my head
	9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: i'm all for book club but have some personal issues to deal with before i'd be able to join
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Peter. You are the #1 jazz DJ on WFMU at this time slot. And I mean that.
	9:02pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 Thanks DJ Peter!
