WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from August 2, 2024

Listener comments!
	🎭 7:00pm TonyR: Playlist photo context demanded! Is she courting the Bishopite vote??
	🎭 7:01pm TonyR: Sheeepishly sharing a record haul?
	7:02pm Dean: I'm dying to know where she landed the stash. Echoes here of Bill Clinton's props for Peter Brötzmann. Whatever your ideological commitments, this person can't be all bad!
	7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: VP Harris is giving a fervent speech about Pacific Overtures being Sondheim's real masterpiece (just like I do when I want to clear guests out of my apartment)
	🎭 7:03pm TonyR: This indeed IS a game-changer!
	7:03pm Dean: If I like Sweeney Todd, should I investigate Pacific Overtures?
	🎭 7:04pm Listener Gregory: All aboard for Acid Jazz Hands! Good evening, Ms B.
	🎭 7:06pm TonyR: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:02 Photo got my clicky-star!
	🎭 7:07pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "All Points West" by "Bob Lawrence with Paul White... Call RE4-2020 to talk to one of the Marconi Bros. I presume that's 212 area code. :)
	7:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dean @7:03 They are very different but yes!!! Pacific Overtures is as minimalist as Sweeney is maximalist lol. Both very brilliant
	7:08pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:04 good evening Gregory!!!
	🎭 7:08pm TonyR: Bah. In my day, we had exchanges. We didn't need no area codes!
	7:08pm Dean: Marvelous description, Bronwyn. I get it!
	🎭 7:09pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:02 Hey, whatever works for you! :) Good evening, Bronwyn and fellow AJH listeners.
	🎭 7:10pm TonyR: "Long Distance" was big $$$.
	🎭 7:10pm Dan S: ↳ TonyR @7:08 Yeah, i remember when you didn't have to use the area code, except for "long distance" calls.
	🎭 7:11pm Dan S: Yeah, the rain is torrential in the NYC metro area right now.
	🎭 7:12pm Dan S: Congrats on your busy social calendar, Bronwyn!
	7:14pm Dean: I can listen to Pacific Overtures via Naxos Music Library, courtesy of my employer. Queued!
	🎭 7:14pm TonyR: Oh, for a sudden thunderstorm in Philly. We've been sweltering in 3-digit feels-like all day. At least Amazon didn't drop off my new Prince record in an uncooled locker in a parking lot in the unrelenting sun.
	🎭 7:18pm TonyR: Once did my pre-dawn bridge walk in a cooling cloudburst. Wallet was ruined, but it was a hot night and 5 miles never felt soooooo good.
	🎭 7:20pm WR: ↳ Dan S @7:07 Area codes were not implemented until early 50s. If you weren't local, you would have to call an "operator" for assistance.
	🎭 7:20pm TonyR: "Is this the party to whom I am speaking?"
	🎭 7:22pm TonyR: My childhood household was briefly. on a "party line" involnuntarily (as far as I knew). That ain't no party.
	7:24pm Dean: Yesterday, my daughter described an "app" to me that allows folks to "call" others who have adopted the "app" without using the phone. The caller starts yapping, the recipient immediately hears it, and then can opt to activate the app to continue the call. Or not. I can't fathom what problem the app solves. "App" is such a dumb word/concept/product.
	7:25pm Dean: But then I also dislike the telephone, too.
	🎭 7:26pm Dan S: ↳ WR @7:20 OK, I guess I don't go back quite that far, but i do remember not having to dial the area code for "local" calls. I remember when all of NYC had just one area code, 212. I also remember collect calls and some of the games you could play with them.
	🎭 7:27pm Dan S: And it looks like the downpour is already over. Intense but brief.
	🎭 7:28pm TonyR: Summer squall Bronwyn, we hardly knew ye.
	🎭 7:29pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @7:27 Or maybe not over, but it has let up a lot.
	🎭 7:33pm TonyR: ↳ Dean @7:24 Yeah, data is tons more expensive than voice. What problem DOES this solve?
	7:35pm Dean: Wait, TonyR. I can't quite discern where you land on the question. In order to use the data, you have to have voice (i.e., cellular, which isn't twisted pair voice).
	🎭 7:38pm TonyR: On Wednesday, May 3rd Vice President Kamala Harris visited HR Records on Kennedy Street. Inside she bought records by Charles Mingus, Roy Ayers, and Porgy and Bess with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. (NB: Petworth (wherever that is) seems to have an area code of 240.)
	🎭 7:40pm TonyR: ↳ Dean @7:35 You can get a lot of super cheap voice+text-only plans. It's when you start buying teh Internet 1 Gig at a time that uyou really get to lead the poor people life like twisted-pair copper phone buyers ussd to be.
	🎭 7:42pm Listener Gregory: There was an actual story on the news last night that New Hampshire might have to add a new area code. People are NOT pleased: Dial 603 or die!
	🎭 7:42pm TonyR: Can't really run a smart phone, of course, but that'as a feature, not a bug.
	🎭 7:43pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Aaise Waise Na Samajh Sajna" by "Asha Bhosle" That is an alarming image. Besides the fangs and dripping blood, his face and beard look blue!
	🎭 7:43pm TonyR: I have a phone. It's called a phone.
	🎭 7:51pm Dan S: ↳ TonyR @7:43 I have a flip-phone cell. It's so much less distracting than a smartphone, and much less expensive to purchase.
	🎭 7:52pm TonyR: ↳ Dan S @7:51 NOKIA candy-bar phone on prepaid T-Mobile here. $10/month.
	7:52pm Dean: Thanks, TonyR. Record store noted! But I still don't get how the stupid app solves any problem at all. I myself have no text service. I have a flip phone, which I can't wait to abandon. I've never had a use for a so-called smart phone. (Okay, maybe I could have used one to expedite an inventory of my record collection.) What does it mean to "buy[] teh [sic] Internet 1 Gig at a time..."? The Internet is fairly blunt. It connects things to other things through wires or tubes or highways. The Web, on the other hand, is an ungodly nightmare.
	🎭 7:52pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "dearly beloved" by "Ted Heath" From Bollywood to Jerome Kern. Interesting transition.
	7:53pm Dean: My favorite cover so far on this playlist, the Heath.
	🎭 7:55pm TonyR: Voice over IP may be what you're using on a cheap phone, but when you start shopping for voice+text+DATA, you're counting down bytes every 30 days.
	🎭 7:57pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Got the Customers to Face" by "Allan Sherman" Now that was good for a laugh!
	🎭 8:00pm Dan S: Gershwin and Bernstein would have made better Presidents than some real ones!
	🎭 8:02pm TonyR: A 1963 flop! Just like me!
	🎭 8:05pm Dan S: ↳ TonyR @8:02 That gives me an idea. Bronwyn, if we give you the year of our birth, could you find each of us a song from a show that flopped that year? :)
	8:06pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love this idea!!!!
	🎭 8:09pm TonyR: Vivien Leigh on Broadway. The mind reels.
	🎭 8:09pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:06 OK, it's 1954 for me.
	8:09pm Dean: Sorry, but I'm 1959. Not one song flopped!
	🎭 8:10pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "This Kind of a Girl" by "Walter Chiari & Barbara ... Did "The Gay Life" mean in 1961 what it means today? :)
	🎭 8:12pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "You're driving me Crazy" by "Sal Salvador" Nice guitar and piano work.
	🎭 8:13pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "You're driving me Crazy" by "Sal Salvador" Ironically, Sal is not wearing shades..
	🎭 8:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @7:52 Dean, if you access the internet through your cell connection, you might have to pay for each transmitted byte (or have a limit on how much they’ll let you download). So the internet isn’t limited, but your access is.
	🎭 8:17pm Listener Gregory: Sal Salvador is new to me. Tasty! I would ask @doctorjazz about him, but he doesn’t seem to be here. Does anyone know if he finally made it to Europe?
	8:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dan S @8:09 A Broadway flop of 1954: The Girl in Pink Tights!
	8:18pm Dean: Thanks, all. Really, I understand the 'net, the Web, the exploitative econmics, etc. For crying out loud, I consumed Douglas Comer's TCP/IP textbook back in the early '90s. I get the technology. I get the market. There is no value to the "app" my daughter shared with me. None whatsoever.
	8:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dean @8:09 A Broadway flop of 1959 (WHICH I LOVE): Juno!
	🎭 8:18pm TonyR: Growing up po' never leaves you. I get nervous whenever I stream WFMU over my mobile data plan vs. my Wi-Fi at home.
	🎭 8:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:18 You realize that this means you will be using that app daily in a year or two!
	8:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: The biggest Broadway flop the year I was born was The Best Little Whorehouse in Public!
	🎭 8:21pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:17 Never heard of it. With that title, I'm not surprised it flopped.
	8:23pm Dean: I don't know Juno. Again, must explore. I will never use an app, because I will never have a device capable of using one.
	🎭 8:24pm Dan S: I hearty thanks to DJ Amanda for that!
	8:24pm Roberto: Arnold's grandson was in my high school class, so there!
	8:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:20 That should be GOES public lol
	🎭 8:30pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:25 Is it a sequel to the one in Texas? BTW, I did a YouTube search for "The Girl in Pink Tights" and found it (of course). Some of the song titles are intriguing. I'll have to listen sometime (after this show, of course).
	8:30pm Dean: Wow, Moses und Aron! That's a big hill to climb!
	🎭 8:31pm Listener Gregory: Bronwyn, did you play a cut from the recent Jeff Lederer album Schoenberg On the Beach? I heard it on a couple of Drummer Stream shows. That’s an interesting improvisational approach to Schoenberg.
	🎭 8:31pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Erkennt euch darin" by "BBC Symphony Orchestra" I can hear how a music class would find this one tough going.
	🎭 8:32pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 Does it sound anything like "Einstein On The Beach?"
	🎭 8:32pm TonyR: Until you've listened to Richard Burton's "Hamlet" record in AP English, you don't know from tough going.
	8:33pm Dean: Let me promote the grandfather of a buddy of mine. Ernst Toch was a Schoenberg contemporary, an emigrant to Los Angeles. Everybody should hear his Geographical Fugue, not a musical per se, but in the spirit of one.
	🎭 8:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dan S @8:32 No. I think the title is just a joke.
	🎭 8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Speech" by "Mark Stewart, Choir of Trinity Wall S... Excellent!
	🎭 8:49pm Dan S: BTW, Bronwyn, I think I've figured out the meaning of your dream. It means that one day you'll either write a critically acclaimed Broadway musical, or become President of the United States. Your choice.
	🎭 8:53pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "gonna build a mountain" by "The Monkees" And for something completely different...
	🎭 8:53pm TonyR: Did Mickey Dolenz quit in 1967?
	🎭 8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "gonna build a mountain" by "The Monkees" I feel this song goes best if you say it “Gonna build a mountang.”
	8:54pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dan S @8:49 I EMPHATICALLY choose the former!!! from your mouth to gods ear!!!!
	🎭 8:55pm TonyR: Sticker says that Micky is present. Still, how rude!
	8:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey everyone! After Bronwyn's show is over, head over here to hear me fill in for Rich from Washington: wfmu.org...
	🎭 8:58pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Father Neptune" by "Hope Levy" I like that idea for a meetup. Maybe I'd even get out of my apt. for that. :)
	🎭 8:59pm Dan S: Another fun and fine show, Bronwyn! Have a good week! Carry an umbrella with you!
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank you darlings!!!
	🎭 9:03pm Listener Gregory: Great show, Bronwyn!
	🎭 9:16pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn! I went down a rabbit hole trying to find out what recordings I have of Mose und Aron and what Franz Schreker recordings I have and didn't make it back to the screen. Excellent episode! Oh, I do have the "new Broadway cast" recording of Pacific Overture. Have just dipped my ears into it a bit.

	🎭 8:21pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:17 Never heard of it. With that title, I'm not surprised it flopped.
	8:23pm Dean: I don't know Juno. Again, must explore. I will never use an app, because I will never have a device capable of using one.
	🎭 8:24pm Dan S: I hearty thanks to DJ Amanda for that!
	8:24pm Roberto: Arnold's grandson was in my high school class, so there!
	8:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:20 That should be GOES public lol
	🎭 8:30pm Dan S: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:25 Is it a sequel to the one in Texas? BTW, I did a YouTube search for "The Girl in Pink Tights" and found it (of course). Some of the song titles are intriguing. I'll have to listen sometime (after this show, of course).
	8:30pm Dean: Wow, Moses und Aron! That's a big hill to climb!
	🎭 8:31pm Listener Gregory: Bronwyn, did you play a cut from the recent Jeff Lederer album Schoenberg On the Beach? I heard it on a couple of Drummer Stream shows. That’s an interesting improvisational approach to Schoenberg.
	🎭 8:31pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Erkennt euch darin" by "BBC Symphony Orchestra" I can hear how a music class would find this one tough going.
	🎭 8:32pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 Does it sound anything like "Einstein On The Beach?"
	🎭 8:32pm TonyR: Until you've listened to Richard Burton's "Hamlet" record in AP English, you don't know from tough going.
	8:33pm Dean: Let me promote the grandfather of a buddy of mine. Ernst Toch was a Schoenberg contemporary, an emigrant to Los Angeles. Everybody should hear his Geographical Fugue, not a musical per se, but in the spirit of one.
	🎭 8:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dan S @8:32 No. I think the title is just a joke.
	🎭 8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Speech" by "Mark Stewart, Choir of Trinity Wall S... Excellent!
	🎭 8:49pm Dan S: BTW, Bronwyn, I think I've figured out the meaning of your dream. It means that one day you'll either write a critically acclaimed Broadway musical, or become President of the United States. Your choice.
	🎭 8:53pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "gonna build a mountain" by "The Monkees" And for something completely different...
	🎭 8:53pm TonyR: Did Mickey Dolenz quit in 1967?
	🎭 8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "gonna build a mountain" by "The Monkees" I feel this song goes best if you say it “Gonna build a mountang.”
	8:54pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ Dan S @8:49 I EMPHATICALLY choose the former!!! from your mouth to gods ear!!!!
	🎭 8:55pm TonyR: Sticker says that Micky is present. Still, how rude!
	8:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey everyone! After Bronwyn's show is over, head over here to hear me fill in for Rich from Washington: wfmu.org...
	🎭 8:58pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Father Neptune" by "Hope Levy" I like that idea for a meetup. Maybe I'd even get out of my apt. for that. :)
	🎭 8:59pm Dan S: Another fun and fine show, Bronwyn! Have a good week! Carry an umbrella with you!
	9:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: thank you darlings!!!
	🎭 9:03pm Listener Gregory: Great show, Bronwyn!
	🎭 9:16pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn! I went down a rabbit hole trying to find out what recordings I have of Mose und Aron and what Franz Schreker recordings I have and didn't make it back to the screen. Excellent episode! Oh, I do have the "new Broadway cast" recording of Pacific Overture. Have just dipped my ears into it a bit.
