WFMU: Tony Coulter: Playlist from October 3, 2017

Listener comments!
	10:54am Jeff Golick: I'm here early to say how eagerly I'm looking forward to this. A fitting theme, alas.
	12:00pm Tony Coulter: Advanced greetings, Jeff!
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: Or should I say, Greetings, Advanced Jeff....
	12:01pm βrian: Got my Listening Trousers on.
	12:01pm Nick S.: Hey, Tony! Let's get radical!
	12:01pm Sem Chumbo: Hello, Tony. That's some ape, man.
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: Hey hey, βrian & Nick!
	12:02pm Jeff Golick: I have not advanced far, so the first version works.
	12:04pm βrian: "Crazy turd." Huh.
	12:06pm Carmichael: Good day, Tony and people of the alternate music delivery system.
	12:06pm Jeff Golick: But whose socks are those.
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy there, Sem and Carmichael!
	12:10pm doctorjazz: Hello out there!
	12:10pm Tony Coulter: Greets, doctorjazz!
	12:11pm Webhamster Henry: I thought I head some cows!
	12:12pm Webhamster Henry: And bears.
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: Webham! Heya!
	12:16pm Dean: A curious quality of the music by these RIO artists is its calming effect. Meshuggah makes me want to oppose something. Henry Cow and the rest make me want to kick back and enjoy the day.
	🥁 12:17pm Yvang: Bonjour! I am not opposed to this!
	12:18pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Dean et Yvang!
	12:18pm Dean: I suppose that's opposition to the hecticness of the ordinary.
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony and all
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, coelacanth∅!
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: been liking this goofy soundtrack to brunch-cooking
	12:22pm Ike: Oi!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: A Hoi!
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Just LOVING this set!
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Doctor J!
	12:34pm Tony Coulter: All seven RIO bands appeared on the same bill at least once, in '79, in Milan -- must have been quite something. (By then Henry Cow had morphed into Art Bears.)
	12:35pm Tony Coulter: Weird -- my icon is doing the shimmy. Hope my computer isn't about to explode.
	12:38pm Jeff: Uh oh. Shimmying icons can be a symptom of little tears in spacetime.
	12:39pm Jeff: Tears, not tears.
	12:42pm Nick S.: Etron Fou Leloublan is sublime! It reminds me of Floh de Cologne a bit. Know them, Tony? Of course you do.
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Nick! Er, yes, I do know the Floh....
	12:50pm Jeff Golick: Rock in Opposition is such an odd umbrella term, from this vantage point. The thing to which they are opposed is implied or assumed, I guess?
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: Or not odd so much as vague.
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Well, some of them (Henry Cow, Art Bears, Stormy Six) were explicitly opposed to the capitalist system -- others were not as politically oriented. They were all opposed to the commercial music mainstream, though, I guess. Perhaps the lack of political "agreement" is why the collective only lasted two years?
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: I think at some point I conflated Rock Against Racism and the RIO movements, because my brain is small and my synapses are easily confused and "opposition" is a lot like "against."
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: (And RAR is a lot like ReR.)
	1:06pm βrian: I dunno. This sounds kinda dangerous.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: well, i got otherwise distracted then came back but now i must go work...maybe be moving some rocks in opposition today, to plant a tree! i'm glad this one's archived. Thanks Tony! ciao
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: @ Jeff: Stormy Six, in particular, were very active in left-wing politics (in Italy) -- and Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow & Art Bears) is also quite left-wing. I'm pretty sure the RIO name came from Cutler, and that he wanted the RIO bands to be more obviously political. Some of them were clearly more focused just on making their own unique music....
	1:08pm Tony Coulter: See you, coelacanth∅!
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: Aha. Thanks for that, @Tony.
	1:16pm Jeff: Digging this show, Tony.
	1:19pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Jeff! Stereo Jeffs!
	1:26pm Jeff Golick: (More than you know, Tony.)
	1:27pm Tony Coulter: There can never be too many Jeffs.....
	1:33pm doctorjazz: Speaking of Jeffs (well, not really, but) I forgot to mention on Destination Out, those in the NY/Philly area, Ars Nova in Philly is having a big week. Sun Ra Arkestra on Thursday, Anthony Braxton on Friday, and many artists Saturday and Sunday (don't think I'll be able to get out to it much if any, my daughter is coming home from college, but maybe...)
	1:39pm βrian: Loup-garou of poo? (Got my Sophomoric Trousers on now.)
	1:40pm Jeff Golick: @doctorjazz: ...and AEoC!
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: RE: Jeffs. Years ago, a station listener used to hand out Oscars-like "awards" to FMU DJs. The awards were called "The Jeffies." I think I won one at some point....
	1:43pm Dean: And, of course, there's Jeffpardy.
	1:44pm Dean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g3--WYH8SY
	1:44pm doctorjazz: @Jeff Golick, yep, and David Toen, Tim Berne's Snakeoil, Mike Lorenz Trio performing the music of Sonny Sharrock, and still more...
	1:44pm doctorjazz: (had to clicky star this show).
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: A Clicky Star Is Born....
	1:49pm Tony Coulter: (thanks, Dr J -- glad you find the show click-worthy!)
	1:51pm Jeff Golick: @Dean: thanks for that. You've shared that link before, as I've aired it before. Jeff is also the name of the ghost that Tina dates on Bob's Burgers.
	1:52pm Jeff Golick: Jeff is also the name of the diseased lung mascot that John Oliver devised for Marlboro: consumermediallc.files.wordpress.com...
	1:53pm geezerette: Hiya, Tony and high-toned listeners ! Well this is a thing of exceptional beauty!
	1:53pm Dean: @Jeff G.: I remember hearing it aired on your show! Equally good, with or without visuals. Can't say I know Bob's Burgers, though. Buddy of mine in high school and beyond is named Geoff. Pronounces it JOFF.
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, geezerette!
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: This particular Stormy Six track reminds me a bit of Gentle Giant.
	1:55pm Jeff Golick: Updating my avatar for the occasion.
	1:56pm Nick S.: This is a beautiful song. Why can't I get into Gentle Giant? What should I listen to Tony?
	1:58pm geezerette: @Jeff G. @Dean There's a Disney animator whose name is Jeffery, which he insists people pronounce Geefwee. He spells it that way to save having to explain.
	1:59pm geezerette: ...& hello to Mighty Joe Young.
	1:59pm βrian: Is that animator related to Baba Wawa?
	2:00pm geezerette: haha!
	2:01pm Jeff Golick: That's not ok, @geezerette.
	2:01pm Dean: What is it with Jeffs? Gentle Giant entry: In a Glass House.
	2:01pm Tony Coulter: @ Nick S: "In a Glass House," maybe? GG's vocals can be a bit of an obstacle to enjoyment (for me at least), and they can be sort of pretentious and lumbering -- but there's still plenty to like, methinks.
	2:02pm RIO SPEEDWAGON: In opposition to what? the commercial rock world - Queen etc, a political statement?
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: Heya, RIO SPEEDWAGON (great name!) Some of the RIO bands were left-wing and politically active, which is where the name came from -- others weren't.
	2:05pm northguineahills: Look what the cat dragged in!
	2:05pm Dean: GG vocals are an issue, but on the upside they are one of the few rock bands to do really interesting group vocal stuff. I'd say another barrier is the faux-medieval/Renaissance veneer (much like Gryphon), but then again any band that sings about Gargantua and Pantagruel is alright by me.
	2:06pm RIO SPEEDWAGON: who in today's rock world can be described as RIO?
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: Thinking Plague would be one example.
	2:08pm Nick S.: Thanks! As many records as they've put out I've owned the bad ones. In a Glass House I haven't heard and if you're comparing Stormy Six to that I'll be having a listen. I have Napster to thank for hipping me to Stormy Six 17 years ago.
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hey hey hey, NGH!
	2:09pm RIO SPEEDWAGON: YES - I used to follow them religiously, but then just forgot about them. Certainly stylisticly it any band that sound like early Mothers of Invention, Magma and Soft Machine.
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: @ Nick S: Not sure if "Glass House" will be the album to drive home my comment about that Stormy Six track -- but it still is one of their better albums.
	2:10pm geezerette: punk rock with skills.
	2:12pm geezerette: yes it's Zappa-y and it's cracking me up. (which is easy to do.).
	2:14pm northguineahills: Are Os Mutantes still touring, they would be RIO, but I bet they'd prefer to be described as Paulistas.
	2:19pm geezerette: Asak Maboul's music keeps reminding me of Looney Tunes' Marvin the Martian. :)
	2:19pm Tony Coulter: Btw, both Frith and Cutler are on this Aksak Maboul track....
	2:20pm northguineahills: Not a Brazilian crowd, eh? (Os Mutantees were originally from Sao Paulo.)
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Now I get it....
	2:21pm Jeff: The repeated woodwind figures a little while back put me in mind of a Michael Nyman soundtrack for a moment.
	2:21pm Cheyenne: Got some sweet, sweet skronk happenin in here
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Cheyenne!!
	2:26pm Cheyenne: Hiee Tony & all!
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: @ngh, can you take the discourse down a few notches?
	2:30pm northguineahills: Ack, burned my chilies, let me try this again.
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Art Zoyd and Univers Zéro are both RIO bands AND Zeuhl bands. Hear that throbbing bass....
	2:35pm Stanley: Hi Tone. Just tuned in. On the strength of this track, this is definately one for archive pleaseure.
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Stanley!
	2:38pm Jeff: So are you saying that the RIO bands can or cannot appear at ABC No Rio?
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Strictly speaking, only the band ABC can play at ABC No Rio
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: Nice accent work on the label name, Tony.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: But ABC cannot cover "Rio."
	2:41pm Cheyenne: I mean, I like "The Look Of Love" as much as the next pangolin but that seems like it's not punx enough for ABC No Rio
	2:41pm Tony Coulter: I owe it all to autofill....
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: RE accent work, I mean....
	2:43pm Tony Coulter: Rē accent work....
	2:46pm Marshland: Great show, managed to catch Yumi Hara's Half the Sky playing Lindsay Cooper/Henry Cow songs at Café Oto recently :)
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: Really liked that last Henry Cow.
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Marshland! Would love to hear that Half the Sky stuff -- wonder if it's on yew-tube?
	2:54pm Sem Chumbo: On a bit of a verbal fast today, Tony, but enjoyed the show and the comments. Thanks, and see you again next time.
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: See you, Sem! Thanks for listening....
	2:57pm Marshland: Here's my video of Half the Sky Tony: youtu.be...
	2:57pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Tony!
	2:58pm Cheyenne: Thanks Tony!
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, TC!
	2:58pm geezerette: Thanks, Tony!!!
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Marshland! And thanks everyone!! See you all next week, I hope.....
	2:58pm Stanley: Great music. Thanks, Tony
	2:59pm Marshland: There are other Half the Sky clips on there too, best to search with "Yuri Hama" within the search
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: Here's the FMA Listening Party playlist: wfmu.org...
	3:00pm Tony Coulter: Oh, BIG THANKS to the pledgers -- don't know who you are yet, but ... THANKS SO MUCH!!
	3:20pm Nick S.: Thanks, Tony! Awesome show!

	2:19pm geezerette: Asak Maboul's music keeps reminding me of Looney Tunes' Marvin the Martian. :)
	2:19pm Tony Coulter: Btw, both Frith and Cutler are on this Aksak Maboul track....
	2:20pm northguineahills: Not a Brazilian crowd, eh? (Os Mutantees were originally from Sao Paulo.)
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Now I get it....
	2:21pm Jeff: The repeated woodwind figures a little while back put me in mind of a Michael Nyman soundtrack for a moment.
	2:21pm Cheyenne: Got some sweet, sweet skronk happenin in here
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Cheyenne!!
	2:26pm Cheyenne: Hiee Tony & all!
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: @ngh, can you take the discourse down a few notches?
	2:30pm northguineahills: Ack, burned my chilies, let me try this again.
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Art Zoyd and Univers Zéro are both RIO bands AND Zeuhl bands. Hear that throbbing bass....
	2:35pm Stanley: Hi Tone. Just tuned in. On the strength of this track, this is definately one for archive pleaseure.
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Stanley!
	2:38pm Jeff: So are you saying that the RIO bands can or cannot appear at ABC No Rio?
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Strictly speaking, only the band ABC can play at ABC No Rio
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: Nice accent work on the label name, Tony.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: But ABC cannot cover "Rio."
	2:41pm Cheyenne: I mean, I like "The Look Of Love" as much as the next pangolin but that seems like it's not punx enough for ABC No Rio
	2:41pm Tony Coulter: I owe it all to autofill....
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: RE accent work, I mean....
	2:43pm Tony Coulter: Rē accent work....
