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.
Scott W: Thank you! I don't want to tell you how much fun the parties were because I don't want you to feel bad about missing them, but...they were really fun! And a few of us, including Stashu, Anne Yen, etc want to have another one soon. Should I keep you on the A-list?
@Gaylord: Aww, poop. Work! Who needs it?! (For real, I'm glad you are still employed, unlike many of us.) Anyway, when we do it again I'll invite you and perhaps you can "be" "there".
Hey Gaylord. I had a dream Friday night I was helping you figure out how to navigate a houseboat from Sacramento, CA to Jersey City. That was weird. I don’t live in Sacramento.
@Jake: I'm not on any social media except for here, I guess. And yup, it was a Zoom party. If you've never had 12 or so people singing to you simultaneously on Zoom, you oughta try it. It's hilarious. I was touched by having so many friends and family attend from so far away, and even from a few blocks away. I was worried I'd be lonely on my birthday, but far from it!
@Wendy...I'd love to be on the ol' Zoom party. At your discretion of course, I only popped in and spot read the thread. I had my first zoom dealy with some family on Friday...and it was fun, and helpful. I just sent you a request contact thingamabob, so there's my contact info. If this is only for the cool kids, I take no offense. I just ain't that cool...
Wow Gaylord! Serpico was my Dad's favorite film (he was an NYPD buff). Alas I've never seen it. Shout out to my late, beloved Dad who tolerated taking me to see Xanadu and Can't Stop the Music and only complained a wee bit.
@Mr. Pumpy: It's not about being cool or not cool or through being cool. It's about familiarity and comfort levels. And right now, everyone's feeling a little more vulnerable, including me. But thank you for inquiring.
@126464: I've had a good run of Caetano shows, only one or two clunkers out of maybe eight or nine shows. You don't know what you're going to get with him, and from what I understand I have a higher percentage than most who have seen him multiple times.
Fair comparison, Uncle Michael! When he's good, he's great — none better! When he prefers to perform old show tunes or play his son's cruddy music, not so much.
Unfortunately, my one Caetano show was a clunker: "the American Songbook". But being in his presence is still a monumental experience. Tom Ze always puts on jaw-dropping shows - still!

Alicia Renee:
lasagna in the oven, cleaning up whole as I'm certain it's starting to burble...& that Caetano! & Ennio....oh thank you for Sunday night sounds that feel just *Right*
I saw Tom Zé a couple of years ago at Pioneer Works, and he was an 81-year-old with the playfulness and intellectual curiosity of someone 60 years younger! See him when he comes to town again — he's in his frickin' 80s and puts on a helluva show!
Uncle Michael: Cut the confessions, forget the excuses, I don't understand why you're filled with remorse. All that you've said has come true with a vengeance!
Funishment is when a balloon making clown comes up to you at a child’s birthday party and you go along with it so the kids don’t get upset but inside you are dying.
@ Gaylord: do you think a food publication would like a listicle of Dessert Island Dishes? I know I'd enjoy having a bunch of tiramisu and all the time in the world.
@Unc: I've been watching "That Girl" a lot lately (perfect example of "progressive for its time"), and Marlo seems to have found Doris' vat o' Vaseline every time there's a one-shot of her.
The Walker Brothers are a wall of sound made of the finest mahogany covered with velvet. It's as tall as a skyscraper. The listener wants to both stand in awe of it and attempt to scale it over and over.
Just started rewatching Coppola’s “One from the Heart.” The first time I saw it was in film class in college. As an adult I am floored by how the whole film looks. Also, Harry Dean Stanton has a perm for some reason. Tanked when it was released, but worth watching nowadays.
