Listener comments!

  3:17pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Donna Summer has died. Thanks for the tribute.
  3:17pm
BSI:

The Moroder the merrier...
  3:17pm
northguineahills:

Thanks for the Donna. Also, it seems like a James Tenney type of day. Oh, a Jason Forrest (donna summer) vs Donna Summer mashup would be apropos.
  3:18pm
Cecile:

Awesome set, Fabio.
  3:18pm
northguineahills:

nice, bsi....
  3:19pm
Luis:

And thanks for the Einzelganger. Haven't heard it in ages, and it's the first thing the bad news about Donna Summer brought to mind. Will Sparks be far behind?
  3:21pm
Chris from DC:

This makes me think of Art Bell. He used this as rejoiner music for years.
  3:21pm
Sturk:

Uhhh... is this a show about UFos and stuff?
  3:22pm
paula pc:

thank you, Fabio...she made electronic music shine, no doubt...
  3:23pm
fred von helsing:

Just for this day, for this hour, let it be a Donna summer
  3:23pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

The Failure of Disco.
  3:24pm
still b/p:

Saw an obit that listed a handful of her hits, "all songs that were the signature of the excess and glamor of the disco era." Well...OK, if you say so.
  3:24pm
Tom L.:

Donna Summer -- The first techno song ever. "I feel love, I feel love..."
  3:24pm
Tom L.:

Disco sucks. Cancer sucks even worse. RIP Donna.
  3:25pm
Sturk:

I didn't know Donna Summer stole Kraftwerk's equipment.
  3:26pm
too much coffee:

very kraftwerkian
  3:26pm
too much coffee:

@sturk: beat me to it!
  3:26pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

she probably stole their hearts too.
  3:30pm
Rodney:

Although Moroder was aping Kraftwerk to an extent, Kraftwerk's music was sexless. Moroder's collaborations with Donna Summer were the opposite of sexless.
  3:30pm
BSI:

I've always dug the Moroder/Summer stuff, though [sacrilege warning] utterly despise what Giorgio did with Sparks. There. I said it. The beatings may commence now.
  3:33pm
andymorphic:

this is dynamite
  3:34pm
northguineahills:

I concur Rodney.
  3:35pm
still b/p:

Among some college friends, a general term of contempt for disco -- for the music, the realm, the people of either sex -- was "bimbo"...goin' to the bimbo shop, goin out bimboin'. One guy got a jersey as a gift with a custom quote adaptation: "I will bimbo no more forever."
  3:36pm
northguineahills:

(forgot a comma)
  3:37pm
Cecile:

I didn't like the disco that was too pop, too highly orchestrated, but I always enjoyed her stuff with Giorgio Moroder as a teen.
  3:38pm
northguineahills:

I have to admit, I was in my early 20s before I could appreciate some disco.
  3:38pm
Cecile:

She died of lung cancer. Some doctors think that lung cancer for women should now be considered as much a gender-associated cancer as ovarian or breast.

Donna was the exception for a lot of rockers, Fabio, you're right.
  3:38pm
dc apt:

man gotta say I was/am in the rock camp. whatayagonnado?
  3:39pm
Cecile:

BSI!
  3:39pm
dc apt:

man BSI getting the air play!!
  3:40pm
BSI:

thanks man.
mega-cheers.
  3:40pm
Chris from DC:

Cool!
  3:41pm
paula pc:

this is great, BSI!!!
  3:41pm
fred von helsing:

disco did suck back then but well so did the who and the stones and zep and peter F'ing frampton. hooray for the sex pistols! but well heck now we have a world without donna.
  3:43pm
northguineahills:

Nice, I think that's the 3rd BSI tune I've heard. Keep them coming.
  3:45pm
still b/p:

Sirius had a classic disco channel that I listened to a bit, enjoying it and laughing at how heavy my hostility was back in the material's Top 40 day.
  3:45pm
Cheri Pi:

Go BSI!!!
  3:46pm
fred von helsing:

the old days. but then the thing we then called FM radio turned into what we had previously called AM radio, and the thing we then called AM radio turned into a fucking monster. clear channel must die.
  3:48pm
Rarus Avis:

digg'n dis shit (BSI). hoping my w'coast station gets a copy of this.
  3:48pm
dc apt:

Favorite piece so far BSI, nice work.
  3:50pm
BSI:

Thanks folks. Might be confusing mine (creepy bacon radio noise & growling dogs) with this gorgeous thing here....
  3:51pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

great, leave my desk for 10 minutes and miss the BSI...there is NO GOD
  3:54pm
dc apt:

Nope, I was talking mostly about bacon radio + growling...did get a little mixed up though.
  3:55pm
still b/p:

"Creepy bacon radio noise" would be nice as a lyric and I immediately heard it to the tune of Moody River.
  3:59pm
Cecile:

Ye Gods. There is a basketball player named Metta World Peace.
  4:00pm
glenn:

because that sounds better than insane ron artest.
  4:01pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

there used to be a basketball player named "World B Free".
  4:01pm
Chris from DC:

The former Ron Artest.
  4:02pm
Cecile:

Oh, brother.

DCE, I remember him!
  4:04pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

oh this is Steven R Smith? wow...http://tripjam.blogspot.com/2011/02/ulaan-khol.html
  4:05pm
Cecile:

ha, the article on Metta World Peace was about him elbowing someone in the head during a game. Not very peaceful
  4:06pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

ouch!
  4:07pm
Cheri Pi:

whoever he is, those are some heavy, smokey jams.
  4:07pm
still b/p:

Saw that elbowing clip. xtreme ouch.
  4:09pm
northguineahills:

Whether through laziness or aesthetic preference, I haven't been one to release any recordings. However, my bandmate wants our recordings to have more exposure then just our site (that i do nothing to promote). In what direction should I proceed? (ngh aka aaron): http://www.parenthesismusic.com/rotc/
  4:10pm
Cecile:

you sound just fine.
  4:12pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

ngh, I'll check it out when I get home. I want ALL the music.
  4:12pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

we're called LUNATICS
  4:12pm
Cecile:

posters.
  4:12pm
Listener Eric:

Great set Tuesday night at Dynasty BSI! You're doing the Lord's work...
  4:12pm
too much coffee:

posteurs.
  4:13pm
Cecile:

socially inept.
  4:13pm
lopi:

hey man ,,, dont label me !!!!
  4:13pm
too much coffee:

idlers. blabbermouths. layabouts. soon to be unemployed...
  4:14pm
still b/p:

@ tmc -- Louis Posteurs?
  4:14pm
Cecile:

ADD-addled, malingerers, underachivers and unfocused.
  4:15pm
northguineahills:

Thanks, DCE, I want to take advantage of all the free time I have before I start working again.
  4:15pm
too much coffee:

sitting on our poster-iors...
  4:15pm
too much coffee:

aka our brains
  4:15pm
too much coffee:

just letting it flow
  4:15pm
BSI:

I thought we were Thee Winged Monkeys...? Or is that just the unwashed wednesday morning mob?
  4:15pm
too much coffee:

for all to enjoy.
  4:16pm
Cecile:

unwashed Wednesday mob.
  4:18pm
Luis:

So, BSI, way back you poo-poo'd the Sparks/Moroder output. None of it tickled your fancy? "Number One Song in Heaven," even? Or are you just not a Sparks fan?
  4:18pm
Kenzo (last ever):

This pleases my headphones.
  4:20pm
BSI:

@Luis: sorry for the poo-poo. I'm a huge Sparks fan, just of the earlier stuff. I think their more rock-oriented stuff suited the songwriting better.
  4:21pm
BSI:

Kimono My House, specifically: a perfect record...
  4:22pm
Luis:

What do you think of The Quick, then? Upstart Sparks wannabes? (Remember: Earle Mankey produced their album.)
  4:22pm
northguineahills:

BSI, do you have vinyl released?
  4:26pm
BSI:

@Luis: haven't heard 'em. Must investigate!
@NGH: yessir, but I'm not one to advertise here, for fear of "abusing the privilege" -- so, uh, 2nd from the top: http://tinyurl.com/7fwu48m . I shut up now & retreat to dark corner.
  4:27pm
Cecile:

Luis, didn't they have a dance song called Zulu? Am I remembering that right?
  4:28pm
Luis:

"Mondo Deco" is the album. It emerged from the sidelines of the LA punk scene. Power pop of the highest order.

The Quick? Zulu? Doesn't ring a bell.
  4:29pm
Luis:

Indeed, there's a The Quick with a tune Zulu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smtkTXWfP_Y. But it isn't the LA Sparks sibling.
  4:29pm
Cecile:

never mind, they were British.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quick_(UK_band)
  4:29pm
northguineahills:

sweet, BSI. I'll look for it in the hood (I have an archaic practice of only buying music at brick & mortar stores). I think your material is good dj fodder.
  4:32pm
glenn:

i support that archaic practise.
  4:34pm
BSI:

Likewise (archaic practice aforementioned).
And this audio is a treasure. My compliments to the chef.
  4:36pm
northguineahills:

Holy speedos, I've never heard this Ramon Sender. It is deliscious!
  4:38pm
paula pc:

this is overwhelming
  4:42pm
other david:

My god, it's full of food!
  4:44pm
too much coffee:

damn!!! I want to understand what they're saying!!!
  4:44pm
Mr Donut:

Whoa I'm pickin up some chatter in my fillings!
  4:45pm
too much coffee:

"the blood is shining out of my eyes", as Till Lindemann might say
  4:49pm
northguineahills:

Vermilion music of Betelgeuse?
  5:03pm
too much coffee:

well, cinema and fire bombing. depends on your point of view, you see
  5:04pm
BSI:

Snow-globes are a pretty remarkable achievement, if you think about it.
  5:05pm
Cecile:

I personally like microfibers.
  5:07pm
glenn:

i'm a kaleidoscope man, myself.
Avatar 5:08pm
Kenzo (last ever):

Grand Illusion, great film.
  5:09pm
northguineahills:

I needa vamoose. Awesome show, Fabio. See everyone real soon! Friður!
  5:10pm
northguineahills:

What, no love for Wilhelm Reich's orgone accumulators?
  5:15pm
Rodney:

This Egisto Macchi album is fantastic. There should be more reissues because the originals are unaffordable.
  5:17pm
dale:

i have third ear bands album of soundtrack for macbeth. worth a listen.
  5:17pm
BSI:

NGH: I've got one of those. And it makes me feel greater. [it's a superman creator]... etc...
  5:18pm
dale:

i have third ear bands album of soundtrack for polanski's macbeth. worth a listen.
  5:19pm
dale:

oooh, double posted cuz first one seemed lost to the ether - sorry fabs
  5:25pm
nic:

  5:45pm
BSI:

re: this edit piece: love it times infinity. Must have.
  5:46pm
Rarus Avis:

re: edit piece: i agree with BSI. must have.
  5:46pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Do you have some Syttende Mai music to close things out?
  5:46pm
other david:

Enjoying the show a lot Fabio, thanks.

Was out for a walk around dusk here, listened to Loveless for the first time in maybe a year.. came home, turned on WFMU.. this show has been the perfect follow on while I sit and relax with a beer.
  5:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Love "I Feel Love", revolutionary dance music track--I'm glad Donna (and Moroder, her producer) have been honored today. In fact, the 16 minute remix (of "I Feel Love") by Patrick Cowley was probably the first underground extended dance mix back in '78.
  5:58pm
dale:

american gigolo was 79.
  5:59pm
Parq:

Clay, "Cat People" was Bowie's "Putting out fire with gasoline" song!
  5:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

I have mp3s of the 4 minute single of "I Feel Love", the 12" 8 minute extended, and a fairly rare mp3 of the Patrick Cowley mix. Love my half-hour of "I Feel Love"!
