WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from August 18, 2024

Listener comments!
	🕰 6:57pm Listener Gregory: I think that clock may be squinting rather than laughing.
	6:58pm DJ Peter: two of its faces anyway! how are you doing, Gregory of the Listeners?
	🕰 6:59pm Listener Gregory: I survived a performance of Gotterdammerung yesterday, which is more than I can say for the (formerly) immortal gods.
	7:04pm Christina in Canada: Refreshing to see a photo of a Seattle stadium without Giga Pudding looming over it. Welcome back, DJ Peter.
	7:04pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and tick-tockers! Back on the hors… d'oeuvres? de catégorie? Whatever happened out there, I'm glad you're back.
	7:05pm DJ Peter: Thanks Christina? Are you in B.C.? adamdoesit: you make a good point, I should check with Sam Segal
	7:05pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:57 The clock is somewhere that the sun rarely visits, that's why it is squinting.
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Hi DJ Peter and clock-watchers,
	7:06pm DJ Peter: doc! recovered from COVID and European border control misadventures I hope!
	7:06pm Christina in Canada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:05 I am, Peter! The photo you used of the Hycroft Building clock at Granville and W 16th in Vancouver got me listening to your show!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Festival Journey II. Bells, Drones, and Spiritual... Amazingly, I have this record sitting on my CD table right now, only it is a promotional recording put out by UMass Amherst, where Tillis was employed. I wonder if it's the same performance? Recorded 12/2/93.
	7:07pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:05 and I can say that because I lived a few miles from today's photo location for 23 years
	7:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:06 Yeah, tested negative, a bit tired but otherwise com fine. Thanks for asking!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:07 OK, now I see that you listed the recording date and it IS the same. This is spooky.
	7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:07 Ha! Well as you can see, the sun was on its way to hide behind the clouds
	7:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:06 OMG! Amazing coincidence. Mrs. DJP has family in Vancouver, and I in Seattle. Not the only reason I married her, but a big point in her favor.
	7:12pm Christina in Canada: DJ Peter, the proximity certainly helps with coordinating family visits! Do you take some of the photos for TLC yourself?
	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:12 Most all of them: if it's not credited to someone else, it's mine. Re: proximity: Mrs. DJP may feel that a big advantage of marrying me is being able to fly to Seattle and avoid YYZ on the way to YVR.
	🕰 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Festival Journey II. Bells, Drones, and Spiritual... This composition and others on the record draw heavily on traditional spirituals.
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Major storm alert here in Central Joisey-hail, lightning, thunder, floods from heavy rains.
	7:20pm northguineahills: Peter, mother clockers! hellos!
	7:21pm DJ Peter: if it isn't northguineahills, my favorite JAMC (jive-ass mother-clocker)
	7:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:21 w00t!
	7:24pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 joisey-hell, isn't that all of jersey? 😜 oh, you said "hail"!
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" If only Matt Mitchell put out more records, and longer ones too!
	🕰 7:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" I like the cover art.
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @7:24 Actually very nice in these parts (but a pain to get to the city for music or other activities).
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" Like this-would probably order a copy (if I weren't trying to cut down, get through the on-deck circle first).
	7:29pm doctorjazz: All 2024 releases. (except the Roach)
	7:30pm Doug Schulkind: Welcome back, Peter!
	7:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Peculiar Logic" by "Ingrid Laubrock - Tom Rainey" Saw Laubrock not long ago with Nels Cline's Consentrik Quartet (cool band/set)
	7:31pm doctorjazz: And let me welcome you back to the Drummer Stream DJP as well!
	7:37pm Christina in Canada: Please accept my condolences, DJ Peter. I wish you comfort and strength.
	7:37pm doctorjazz: And, with Big Alice done, gotta go, catch the rest tomorrow (well, maybe stretch my stay out for Lou...)
	7:39pm DJ Peter: thanks, Christina. Means a lot to me -- and is part of why i wanted to get back on the stream with this great community of radio lovers
	🕰 7:39pm Listener Gregory: I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Peter. But I'm glad you came back.
	7:39pm adamdoesit: DJ Peter, I'm sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. An uncanny song to wake up with in your mind, but there's more between mothers and sons than is dreamed of by medical science.
	7:41pm Christina in Canada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 I get it, DJP. After my husband died, I went to my Seattle-based pubnix 'radio' streaming 'open mic' to share some of my husband's favourite tracks
	7:41pm doctorjazz: My condolences Peter.
	7:42pm Little Danny: welcome back peter ❤️❤️❤️
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "The Empty Chair" by "Dave Holland" So I might be short on the next mic break: I saw my therapist this week and observed that I got super choked up when trying to articulate the music that was meaningful to me, and I was told: DJ-ing is part of your creativity, and that's located in the brain near emotion. So I won't go into what these specific tracks mean to me, but I think you'll get it. (Holland dedicated this composition to his wife, also his manager I believe, after she died.)
	🕰 7:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 This cut is rather different from the rest of the record, much of which is heavy-metal jazz, if I remember correctly.
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 You do, as usual!
	🕰 7:51pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 Really? I figured that was a typical LG joke.
	7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:51 LG makes jokes? I hadn't noticed. I'm very literal.
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:52 An Irishman and a DJ walked into a bar and... damn! I forget the rest! Maybe it was a rabbi? And they were crossing the road?
	7:54pm tom tom the pipers son: helllo dj peter and all...
	7:54pm DJ Peter: hi tom tom, and hello too Little Danny!
	7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: an irishman and dj walked into a bar to see time fly...or to hold their pants up or get to the other side
	7:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 :-) LOL
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Music is a mother. In it, we find again the rhythm and the rock, prior to speech, that our moms first provide.
	7:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 beautiful, thank you
	7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: there have been backed up opinions that davies wife rasa, contributed mightily to kinks songs during their golden era
	7:58pm NobleDestro: Hey I just have to comment on your culture and countries soliloquy just now. Well stated my Lord! I say "race is a social construct, however culture is very real, and perhaps most consequential societal aspect of all". chat GPT I understand Walter old said race is a social construct the other day and I almost shit, then I realized I didn't coin that phrase. But that is exceedingly well thought, I think people's misconception may stem from something I go on about, how the stability the United Nations has created in the world, how many generations deep now, created this false sense of security, and many delusions are born of the peace and stability, sorry to say it, America has caused. Young people live in this world where borders are static seemingly eternal which is where country and culture get confused people are so granted safety and peace here in America they actually perceive freedom of speech as a threat, as nasty words are some of them worst violence they can imagine. I'll just go on and on but that was such a great angle that supplements a lot of my own brevity, had to say it
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NobleDestro @7:58 i think you are on the wrong chat board
	8:00pm NobleDestro: No sorry I just go on and on some times speech to text makes it worse but you said this thing about country and culture and I thought it was very valid
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NobleDestro @8:00 that was dj cullan on main stream
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: Good evening Peter!
	🕰 8:03pm WR: DJ Peter, thank you for the set memorializing your mother. Our thoughts are holding you.
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: oh, dj peter...condolences...
	🕰 8:04pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rosie, Won't You Please Come Home?" by "The Kinks" Beautiful set, Peter.
	8:05pm Mxter Baba: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 yeah, that was on Why Do We Only Listen To Dead People and it was RIGHT ON. Clicky star! Hello, to DJ Peter and Laughing Clocksters
	8:06pm DJ Peter: If you're still here NobleDestro, thanks for your words too. I'll try to check out the program that inspired your response. Hey coelacanthø, great to see you as always. Same to you, Mxter Baba! And thanks everyone for the condolences. I'm sad but also celebratory, a la Lou Reed for that track.
	8:06pm Mxter Baba: I often end up listening to more than one stream at a time and comment on a different board, so I say FREEFORM for the DEFORM!
	🕰 8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" I understand that these cuts were selected by Wayne, but I wonder whether ANY concert by this group wouldn't be suitable for release. Did they have some blah nights when everyone just ran through the changes? I kind of doubt it.
	8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:05 last week cullan was saying that all music is interconnected so i said that's why the word "eclectic" to describe choices in music is so stupid
	🕰 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:06 I once made a comment on a WFMU board about the music, and I realized later that I was actually listening to WKCR (also streamed). Yet, a kind FMU listener pretended to think that my bizarre comment was reasonable. That was embarrassing.
	8:09pm Mxter Baba: …and joining the other WFMU kins to offer condolences for the loss of your mama, DJ Peter. I share the sentiment that music and radio is a deeply felt and deeply healing experience. thanks for sharing it with us.
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 cullan agreed
	8:09pm Mxter Baba: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 heh, you got a point there!
	🕰 8:09pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 The edge of the storm just blustered through here in Queens NY. Quieted down to steady rain and lightning for now.
	🕰 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 The FMU show was playing Eastern European folk music, and I said it reminded me of Jamaaladeen Tacuma. Oops!
	8:11pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 most WFMU folxes, in my experience, are quite kind and ready to go in any direction at any time
	8:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @8:09 i don't think i've been hit with it yet in jamaica, qns
	8:11pm chresti: it's laughing o'clock!
	8:11pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 now THAT’S freeform!
	8:12pm Dean: First, if I'm reading the comments properly, then my condolences to our DJ. It is so very hard to deal with the cycle of life, which entails not only loss, but also reflection upon our own mortality, which is surely a fair concern. Second, my beloved Down Home Records had a 1/2 price sale on used digital. I will not live long enough to give due time to the records I've acquired in recent years, thank you very much WFMU, but the experience alone of strolling the aisles, selecting goodies almost at random, and departing having spent so very little is a revivifying one.
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" RIP!
	8:13pm Dean: I've only just learned that drummer Muruga Booker, who played now and then with Merl Saunders, was on Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller!
	8:13pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @8:09 It's hitting hard in this corner of Brooklyn. I have one upset dog groaning against the wall, one blasé dog napping on the rug, and one deaf cat, awaiting second dinner.
	8:14pm DJ Peter: Hi chresti, my eagle-eyed friend. Hi Dean! As long as we're marking losses that gave us great memories: RIP Alain Delon and Gena Rowlands.
	8:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" i'm really enjoying this shorter somewhat soundtrack-y
	8:16pm Little Danny: gosh this shorter piece is wonderful
	8:16pm Mxter Baba: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 hail the travelers!
	8:17pm Mxter Baba: ↳ adamdoesit @8:13 my deaf cat also forgot how to count, so Quiltykins is waiting for third supper now
	8:18pm adamdoesit: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:17 Lolol. Why stop at two?
	8:20pm coelacanth∅: so i missed Cullan's monologue AND the beginning of Peter's mic break. ...i'm sorry for your loss Peter, my condolences. may she rest in peace now.
	8:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:17 I (briefly) muted Wayne, to record a clip of the groaning. Anxious dog immediately stopped groaning. I turned the music back on, and she started again. Is she… singing along?
	🕰 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" I've been listening to live recordings of Miles's second great quintet (Shorter, Hancock, et al.), which I think maybe made the greatest music in jazz. However, all the people involved then went on to do other things, mostly rock or fusiony. I think this was a loss, as their incredible improvisations could have been spread more widely and with a bigger repertoire. BUT Shorter essentially returned to that approach with this group, in which each member was trusted to go off in their own direction, and the other group members would figure it out. Although Miles insisted on doing something new every couple of years, there was more to be done in this vein. In my humble opinion!!
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ah rain is hitting the windows
	🕰 8:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interludium A (1982)" by "Isang Yun" Am I understanding correctly that Yun is the composer, performance by Takahashi?
	8:31pm Little Danny: beautiful
	8:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 LG, when the first Verve CD of the Shorter Quartet came out, I actually purchased some half-dozen copies and gave them to open-eared friends less familiar with jazz. I wanted the record label to look at sales figures and see the numbers, so I didn't do CDR copies but actually put down the cash. Many quartet records followed. You're welcome.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:31 Yes, that's right. I've done it this way to make it easier to search for Isang Yun on the WFMU website.
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 in some ways miles davis always going for something new ended in a default category...mainstream
	8:33pm Dean: Among the takes at Down Home, Aki Takase, Clapping Music, with Reggie Workman and Sunny Murray.
	🕰 8:33pm WR: ↳ WR @8:31 Ah, found a listing for the 2 CD release. www.discogs.com...
	🕰 8:34pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 OK, understandable.
	8:34pm Dean: Not Aki Takahashi, I recognize.
	🕰 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 Thank you for your service.
	🕰 8:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:34 Well, it took me a number of false searches to realize I was confusing this artist with Aki Takase. Dumb!
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: @dj peter: do you know of maki iishi's so gu II recommended...on youtube...first heard on bryce's show
	8:37pm Dean: I was attracted to both artists via different channels, and over the years as one's mind collapses, the verbal similarities start to take over.
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:37 I do not! Will seek out, thanks!
	8:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 meaning ironically ...the lowest common denominator
	8:41pm Dean: I woulda swore I obtained not all that long ago (2023?) an Aki Takahashi Feldman recital on Another Timbre, but I can't find it.
	8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:37 This is a courageous thing for a librarian to admit.
	8:45pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ DJ Peter @8:43 For bravery in that realm, DJ Peter, you're gonna have to call Conan the Librarian.
	8:45pm Dean: Librarians at the Gate!
	8:46pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, probably misfiled with your Marty Feldman collection.
	8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:45 If I knew where I'd filed his number, I'd call him.
	🕰 8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Verse (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Even before I looked it up, I was thinking that this rhythm section is like Coltrane Plays Vibes.
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:50 This groove patented by Trane.
	8:52pm Dean: Thanks, LG. You're very likely right, since I have every recording Feldman ever made--Marty, I mean--both under his own name and a multitude of pseudonyms, plus a huge trove of bootlegs.
	8:52pm Dean: Have yet to peel open my Hutcherson box...
	8:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:47 Check under G, for Guvnor. Thanks, DJ Peter. I'm sorry for your loss, but it's a treat to have you back.
	8:56pm Little Danny: thank you Peter, all the love to you <3
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter... may you navigate troubled/difficult waters safely
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: I'm sure this wasn't an easy show to do, DJP, but you did it! Thanks as always.
	8:59pm chresti: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Peter
	10:22am doctorjazz: Hi. Missed the first announcement, picked up what happened from the comments, but, again, my condolences. Dug the Wayne Shorter-I got to see that band at NJPAC (a woefully underattended concert-MsJazz came with me, found it boring-it's pretty abstract-and read a book the whole time). The Holland was cool-more rocking than I'd expect. (that whole set was moving indeed). Haven't gotten through the Hutcherson Mosaic box yet, too much music, too little time... OK, end of Monday Morning Quarterbacking...
	🕰 2:57pm Jeff Golick: Belated thanks for this ep, DJP. A moving tribute, and a welcome return. I was especially grateful to hear all of that EI/new complexity music in the first set. But it was all great -- that Hutcherson box continues to deliver.

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from August 18, 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!
	🕰 6:57pm Listener Gregory: I think that clock may be squinting rather than laughing.
	6:58pm DJ Peter: two of its faces anyway! how are you doing, Gregory of the Listeners?
	🕰 6:59pm Listener Gregory: I survived a performance of Gotterdammerung yesterday, which is more than I can say for the (formerly) immortal gods.
	7:04pm Christina in Canada: Refreshing to see a photo of a Seattle stadium without Giga Pudding looming over it. Welcome back, DJ Peter.
	7:04pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and tick-tockers! Back on the hors… d'oeuvres? de catégorie? Whatever happened out there, I'm glad you're back.
	7:05pm DJ Peter: Thanks Christina? Are you in B.C.? adamdoesit: you make a good point, I should check with Sam Segal
	7:05pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:57 The clock is somewhere that the sun rarely visits, that's why it is squinting.
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Hi DJ Peter and clock-watchers,
	7:06pm DJ Peter: doc! recovered from COVID and European border control misadventures I hope!
	7:06pm Christina in Canada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:05 I am, Peter! The photo you used of the Hycroft Building clock at Granville and W 16th in Vancouver got me listening to your show!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Festival Journey II. Bells, Drones, and Spiritual... Amazingly, I have this record sitting on my CD table right now, only it is a promotional recording put out by UMass Amherst, where Tillis was employed. I wonder if it's the same performance? Recorded 12/2/93.
	7:07pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:05 and I can say that because I lived a few miles from today's photo location for 23 years
	7:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:06 Yeah, tested negative, a bit tired but otherwise com fine. Thanks for asking!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:07 OK, now I see that you listed the recording date and it IS the same. This is spooky.
	7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:07 Ha! Well as you can see, the sun was on its way to hide behind the clouds
	7:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:06 OMG! Amazing coincidence. Mrs. DJP has family in Vancouver, and I in Seattle. Not the only reason I married her, but a big point in her favor.
	7:12pm Christina in Canada: DJ Peter, the proximity certainly helps with coordinating family visits! Do you take some of the photos for TLC yourself?
	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:12 Most all of them: if it's not credited to someone else, it's mine. Re: proximity: Mrs. DJP may feel that a big advantage of marrying me is being able to fly to Seattle and avoid YYZ on the way to YVR.
	🕰 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Festival Journey II. Bells, Drones, and Spiritual... This composition and others on the record draw heavily on traditional spirituals.
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Major storm alert here in Central Joisey-hail, lightning, thunder, floods from heavy rains.
	7:20pm northguineahills: Peter, mother clockers! hellos!
	7:21pm DJ Peter: if it isn't northguineahills, my favorite JAMC (jive-ass mother-clocker)
	7:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:21 w00t!
	7:24pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 joisey-hell, isn't that all of jersey? 😜 oh, you said "hail"!
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" If only Matt Mitchell put out more records, and longer ones too!
	🕰 7:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" I like the cover art.
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @7:24 Actually very nice in these parts (but a pain to get to the city for music or other activities).
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "sponger" by "Matt Mitchell" Like this-would probably order a copy (if I weren't trying to cut down, get through the on-deck circle first).
	7:29pm doctorjazz: All 2024 releases. (except the Roach)
	7:30pm Doug Schulkind: Welcome back, Peter!
	7:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Peculiar Logic" by "Ingrid Laubrock - Tom Rainey" Saw Laubrock not long ago with Nels Cline's Consentrik Quartet (cool band/set)
	7:31pm doctorjazz: And let me welcome you back to the Drummer Stream DJP as well!
	7:37pm Christina in Canada: Please accept my condolences, DJ Peter. I wish you comfort and strength.
	7:37pm doctorjazz: And, with Big Alice done, gotta go, catch the rest tomorrow (well, maybe stretch my stay out for Lou...)
	7:39pm DJ Peter: thanks, Christina. Means a lot to me -- and is part of why i wanted to get back on the stream with this great community of radio lovers
	🕰 7:39pm Listener Gregory: I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Peter. But I'm glad you came back.
	7:39pm adamdoesit: DJ Peter, I'm sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. An uncanny song to wake up with in your mind, but there's more between mothers and sons than is dreamed of by medical science.
	7:41pm Christina in Canada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 I get it, DJP. After my husband died, I went to my Seattle-based pubnix 'radio' streaming 'open mic' to share some of my husband's favourite tracks
	7:41pm doctorjazz: My condolences Peter.
	7:42pm Little Danny: welcome back peter ❤️❤️❤️
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "The Empty Chair" by "Dave Holland" So I might be short on the next mic break: I saw my therapist this week and observed that I got super choked up when trying to articulate the music that was meaningful to me, and I was told: DJ-ing is part of your creativity, and that's located in the brain near emotion. So I won't go into what these specific tracks mean to me, but I think you'll get it. (Holland dedicated this composition to his wife, also his manager I believe, after she died.)
	🕰 7:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 This cut is rather different from the rest of the record, much of which is heavy-metal jazz, if I remember correctly.
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 You do, as usual!
	🕰 7:51pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 Really? I figured that was a typical LG joke.
	7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:51 LG makes jokes? I hadn't noticed. I'm very literal.
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:52 An Irishman and a DJ walked into a bar and... damn! I forget the rest! Maybe it was a rabbi? And they were crossing the road?
	7:54pm tom tom the pipers son: helllo dj peter and all...
	7:54pm DJ Peter: hi tom tom, and hello too Little Danny!
	7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: an irishman and dj walked into a bar to see time fly...or to hold their pants up or get to the other side
	7:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 :-) LOL
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Music is a mother. In it, we find again the rhythm and the rock, prior to speech, that our moms first provide.
	7:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 beautiful, thank you
	7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: there have been backed up opinions that davies wife rasa, contributed mightily to kinks songs during their golden era
	7:58pm NobleDestro: Hey I just have to comment on your culture and countries soliloquy just now. Well stated my Lord! I say "race is a social construct, however culture is very real, and perhaps most consequential societal aspect of all". chat GPT I understand Walter old said race is a social construct the other day and I almost shit, then I realized I didn't coin that phrase. But that is exceedingly well thought, I think people's misconception may stem from something I go on about, how the stability the United Nations has created in the world, how many generations deep now, created this false sense of security, and many delusions are born of the peace and stability, sorry to say it, America has caused. Young people live in this world where borders are static seemingly eternal which is where country and culture get confused people are so granted safety and peace here in America they actually perceive freedom of speech as a threat, as nasty words are some of them worst violence they can imagine. I'll just go on and on but that was such a great angle that supplements a lot of my own brevity, had to say it
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NobleDestro @7:58 i think you are on the wrong chat board
	8:00pm NobleDestro: No sorry I just go on and on some times speech to text makes it worse but you said this thing about country and culture and I thought it was very valid
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NobleDestro @8:00 that was dj cullan on main stream
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: Good evening Peter!
	🕰 8:03pm WR: DJ Peter, thank you for the set memorializing your mother. Our thoughts are holding you.
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: oh, dj peter...condolences...
	🕰 8:04pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rosie, Won't You Please Come Home?" by "The Kinks" Beautiful set, Peter.
	8:05pm Mxter Baba: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 yeah, that was on Why Do We Only Listen To Dead People and it was RIGHT ON. Clicky star! Hello, to DJ Peter and Laughing Clocksters
	8:06pm DJ Peter: If you're still here NobleDestro, thanks for your words too. I'll try to check out the program that inspired your response. Hey coelacanthø, great to see you as always. Same to you, Mxter Baba! And thanks everyone for the condolences. I'm sad but also celebratory, a la Lou Reed for that track.
	8:06pm Mxter Baba: I often end up listening to more than one stream at a time and comment on a different board, so I say FREEFORM for the DEFORM!
	🕰 8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" I understand that these cuts were selected by Wayne, but I wonder whether ANY concert by this group wouldn't be suitable for release. Did they have some blah nights when everyone just ran through the changes? I kind of doubt it.
	8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:05 last week cullan was saying that all music is interconnected so i said that's why the word "eclectic" to describe choices in music is so stupid
	🕰 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:06 I once made a comment on a WFMU board about the music, and I realized later that I was actually listening to WKCR (also streamed). Yet, a kind FMU listener pretended to think that my bizarre comment was reasonable. That was embarrassing.
	8:09pm Mxter Baba: …and joining the other WFMU kins to offer condolences for the loss of your mama, DJ Peter. I share the sentiment that music and radio is a deeply felt and deeply healing experience. thanks for sharing it with us.
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 cullan agreed
	8:09pm Mxter Baba: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 heh, you got a point there!
	🕰 8:09pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 The edge of the storm just blustered through here in Queens NY. Quieted down to steady rain and lightning for now.
	🕰 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 The FMU show was playing Eastern European folk music, and I said it reminded me of Jamaaladeen Tacuma. Oops!
	8:11pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 most WFMU folxes, in my experience, are quite kind and ready to go in any direction at any time
	8:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @8:09 i don't think i've been hit with it yet in jamaica, qns
	8:11pm chresti: it's laughing o'clock!
	8:11pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 now THAT’S freeform!
	8:12pm Dean: First, if I'm reading the comments properly, then my condolences to our DJ. It is so very hard to deal with the cycle of life, which entails not only loss, but also reflection upon our own mortality, which is surely a fair concern. Second, my beloved Down Home Records had a 1/2 price sale on used digital. I will not live long enough to give due time to the records I've acquired in recent years, thank you very much WFMU, but the experience alone of strolling the aisles, selecting goodies almost at random, and departing having spent so very little is a revivifying one.
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" RIP!
	8:13pm Dean: I've only just learned that drummer Muruga Booker, who played now and then with Merl Saunders, was on Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller!
	8:13pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @8:09 It's hitting hard in this corner of Brooklyn. I have one upset dog groaning against the wall, one blasé dog napping on the rug, and one deaf cat, awaiting second dinner.
	8:14pm DJ Peter: Hi chresti, my eagle-eyed friend. Hi Dean! As long as we're marking losses that gave us great memories: RIP Alain Delon and Gena Rowlands.
	8:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" i'm really enjoying this shorter somewhat soundtrack-y
	8:16pm Little Danny: gosh this shorter piece is wonderful
	8:16pm Mxter Baba: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 hail the travelers!
	8:17pm Mxter Baba: ↳ adamdoesit @8:13 my deaf cat also forgot how to count, so Quiltykins is waiting for third supper now
	8:18pm adamdoesit: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:17 Lolol. Why stop at two?
	8:20pm coelacanth∅: so i missed Cullan's monologue AND the beginning of Peter's mic break. ...i'm sorry for your loss Peter, my condolences. may she rest in peace now.
	8:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Mxter Baba @8:17 I (briefly) muted Wayne, to record a clip of the groaning. Anxious dog immediately stopped groaning. I turned the music back on, and she started again. Is she… singing along?
	🕰 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "She Moves Through the Fair" by "Wayne Shorter" I've been listening to live recordings of Miles's second great quintet (Shorter, Hancock, et al.), which I think maybe made the greatest music in jazz. However, all the people involved then went on to do other things, mostly rock or fusiony. I think this was a loss, as their incredible improvisations could have been spread more widely and with a bigger repertoire. BUT Shorter essentially returned to that approach with this group, in which each member was trusted to go off in their own direction, and the other group members would figure it out. Although Miles insisted on doing something new every couple of years, there was more to be done in this vein. In my humble opinion!!
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ah rain is hitting the windows
	🕰 8:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interludium A (1982)" by "Isang Yun" Am I understanding correctly that Yun is the composer, performance by Takahashi?
	8:31pm Little Danny: beautiful
	8:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 LG, when the first Verve CD of the Shorter Quartet came out, I actually purchased some half-dozen copies and gave them to open-eared friends less familiar with jazz. I wanted the record label to look at sales figures and see the numbers, so I didn't do CDR copies but actually put down the cash. Many quartet records followed. You're welcome.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:31 Yes, that's right. I've done it this way to make it easier to search for Isang Yun on the WFMU website.
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 in some ways miles davis always going for something new ended in a default category...mainstream
	8:33pm Dean: Among the takes at Down Home, Aki Takase, Clapping Music, with Reggie Workman and Sunny Murray.
	🕰 8:33pm WR: ↳ WR @8:31 Ah, found a listing for the 2 CD release. www.discogs.com...
	🕰 8:34pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 OK, understandable.
	8:34pm Dean: Not Aki Takahashi, I recognize.
	🕰 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 Thank you for your service.
	🕰 8:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:34 Well, it took me a number of false searches to realize I was confusing this artist with Aki Takase. Dumb!
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: @dj peter: do you know of maki iishi's so gu II recommended...on youtube...first heard on bryce's show
	8:37pm Dean: I was attracted to both artists via different channels, and over the years as one's mind collapses, the verbal similarities start to take over.
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:37 I do not! Will seek out, thanks!
	8:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 meaning ironically ...the lowest common denominator
	8:41pm Dean: I woulda swore I obtained not all that long ago (2023?) an Aki Takahashi Feldman recital on Another Timbre, but I can't find it.
	8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:37 This is a courageous thing for a librarian to admit.
	8:45pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ DJ Peter @8:43 For bravery in that realm, DJ Peter, you're gonna have to call Conan the Librarian.
	8:45pm Dean: Librarians at the Gate!
	8:46pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, probably misfiled with your Marty Feldman collection.
	8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:45 If I knew where I'd filed his number, I'd call him.
	🕰 8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Verse (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Even before I looked it up, I was thinking that this rhythm section is like Coltrane Plays Vibes.
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:50 This groove patented by Trane.
	8:52pm Dean: Thanks, LG. You're very likely right, since I have every recording Feldman ever made--Marty, I mean--both under his own name and a multitude of pseudonyms, plus a huge trove of bootlegs.
	8:52pm Dean: Have yet to peel open my Hutcherson box...
	8:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:47 Check under G, for Guvnor. Thanks, DJ Peter. I'm sorry for your loss, but it's a treat to have you back.
	8:56pm Little Danny: thank you Peter, all the love to you <3
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter... may you navigate troubled/difficult waters safely
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: I'm sure this wasn't an easy show to do, DJP, but you did it! Thanks as always.
	8:59pm chresti: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	9:14pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Peter
	10:22am doctorjazz: Hi. Missed the first announcement, picked up what happened from the comments, but, again, my condolences. Dug the Wayne Shorter-I got to see that band at NJPAC (a woefully underattended concert-MsJazz came with me, found it boring-it's pretty abstract-and read a book the whole time). The Holland was cool-more rocking than I'd expect. (that whole set was moving indeed). Haven't gotten through the Hutcherson Mosaic box yet, too much music, too little time... OK, end of Monday Morning Quarterbacking...
	🕰 2:57pm Jeff Golick: Belated thanks for this ep, DJP. A moving tribute, and a welcome return. I was especially grateful to hear all of that EI/new complexity music in the first set. But it was all great -- that Hutcherson box continues to deliver.
