Sun. Dec 22nd, 3pm - 5pm:
The Unsolicited Return of the Winter Soul-stice (fill-in for Paul Bruno)
(More info...)
You can't stop the seasons from turning, and you evidently also can't stop an old dog from performing his one old trick. Answering the teeming clamor of one New York Times food columnist
, Gaylord Fields is returning to WFMU's airwaves for a one-off Winter Soul-stice program. In his time away he's learned nothing, so the format will remain the same: two hours of original 1960s soul 45s, and the abuse of an expensive reverb machine for the sake of corny vocal effects.
@bill: Oftentimes, most certainly, but probably not today.

Fjolla:
Gaylord! You killed me with Baris Manco's Gülpembe- which means 'Pink Rose' and is a song about loss...I spent all my teenage summers by the coast in Turkey!
I am remembering our talks after the Faust show lovingly! Greetings!
@Fjolla: Thank you for checking in, and for the translation! (I didn't pick up much Turkish in my 10 days there -- just enough to yell at taxi drivers trying to cheat me.)
It was a joy sharing popcorn with you after the Faust show. I hope all is well.
...it's like - What If there was this boy band of former teddy boys that formed a little R&B club band that got huge & turned out to be world-class historical geniuses & style, cultural - even philosophical / mystical & political icons all @ once...Yeah right that'll happen...
There are many very good reasons for Dylan to have gone electric, but here's a new theory.
Dylan and the Beatles had a dialectical relationship quite similar to that of Cash and Dylan. One would influence the other and v.v. Dylan's acoustic folk deeply influenced John and the Beatles from 64-66. I'll Follow..., You've Got To... and Norwegian... especially, and later carried on with Revolver, made Dylan's style, to the man himself, too mainstream & predictable, too old hat. He wanted to shake up our expectations again, shed his old skin, and become something new, so he went electric. Did what THEY had been doing before THEY were influenced by him. Being Dylan, he probably wanted to prove that he could actually do their electric rock thing better than they could.
This (Norwegian Wood, etc.) is strongly analogous to Side 2 of G’NR N Lies. It immediately made the beat band scene turn more folkie, acoustic and introspective, killing off hair-pop-metal (G’NR) and beat-band-simplistic-pop-rock (Beatles). The harder thrash and death metals that followed, and became more popular in the wake of Lies, a market for people who didn't want bubble- gum or ballad-folk metal, is analogous to the pysch, proto-prog, acid, blues and other rock genres and subgenres that followed in the wake of Norwegian.... (The Beatles, of course, didn't fade away, as G’NR did, but continued to be a relvant part of the reaction against the rock rebellion that they themselves fomented.)

bill:
when you by older music for the show, are you going out of your way to find either stereo or mono mixes
H'lo Gaylord, h'lo people people. It's sunday (sunday! sunday!) here in Snohomish County, Washington, a beautiful day I think (I can't tell weatherwise); it's rehab day every day for a while, and sunday means a day off from rehab.... yeah. Love this music.
@bill: It depends on the record label and the era, I guess. Sometimes I just go by gut as to whether I want the mono or stereo copy of an LP. Sometimes I just buy what's cheaper, if I don't have a preference.
...bands these days who chart w/ no experience - see them Live on a latenight show - & they don't even *try* to sing the harmonies on the rekkid - so tell me how wimpy The Beatles were...

Thanks, Gaylord, always a musical treat to hear your show.
Entre nous, I hear from a usually reliable source that Joe McGasko is planning Joy of Repetition #4: an all- cover show w/ "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" the theme.
See you next time!
If I somehow forget in the next half hour (and I forget lots since my stroke): Gaylord, you are an awesome dj. Whew! i'm very happy sitting in this sub-hospital room. Thank you.
Ben Webster stylee. 'Yèkèrmo Sèw' earlier I think it was - was after 'Song For My Father' by Horace Silver. This has been your daily visit from the Jazz Police...
This is beautiful Coleman Hawkins.... Oh, this is my favorite Ike Quebec album. Very mellow. Actually, I haven't listened to much Ike Quebec, but i want to.
lovely, Gaylord -- thank you! esp. this last group of tunes, & ESPECIALLY those enchanting takes on "Rainy Night in Georgia" & "Blue Samba" -- so perfect for soothing a stressful Sunday evening! :)
