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.
Almost never get the chance to listen live because of my time zone, but because of insomnia, I at least catch a part of today's show ... Thanks Gaylord, I love your shows! Have a great day everybody, whatever time it is out there!
@Gaylord, Do you think a PPM version would be THAT different than the BBC one? At that point, they basically sounded exactly the same live as on the records... which is really an incredible thing. What band is like that anymore?!?!
Also, @Gaylord...
Who are the Distractions?!
If the Spotify page is the same band, it claims they're the best band you've never heard that have been making music for over 30 years....
@Jeezy: They're one of my favorite bands! Their first album was released in 1980, their second 32 years later, their third and final one in 2017. First LP finally reissued.

no more hair cuts just like when i felt super cool
My vinyl copy is the reissue that I got for supporting Luxuria and one or the other of the platters is almost ALWAYS on one of my two studio turntables. I listen to a random side of Odessa at least once a week. It's become this weird thing.
Hello hello Gaylord! Once again I am amazed by a Cleaners From Venus song. i'm trying to get some writing done but the music you're playing is so fantastic that I keep stopping to check the playlist, which is all good, really.
@Wendy...I had a pretty lengthy Zoom discussion with several friends about Velveeta recently. I know it's processed cheese food and all that, but what the hell is up with that shite? The ingredients don't look like the worst of the worst, but it seems like plastic cheese or something. Any insights?
8:39pm

@Gaylord: Aww! Thanks for the award, my friend. I am glad you played something off Odessa. And not surprised, because your taste is excellent.
speaking of the Beach Boys...
Has anyone watched Steve Perry's rendition of In My Room from the big crazy corporate live thingy yesterday?! people are talking, haha... I haven't seen it yet...

@Mr. Pumpy: I don’t judge Velveeta, or anyone who enjoys it. There are good culinary uses for Velveeta.
Real Velveeta is better than that fake Velveeta in stadium nacho sauce. I mean, if you want low rent nachos...you gotta have real Velveeta and a can of Rotel.
Velveeta is a strange inexplicable substance, like creamy orange bathtub caulking. I think maybe it was some sort of by-product of Gemini space program: gooey nutritive protein oleo that could be extruded through a feeding tube. It's the perfect mate to Wonder bread.
@Wendy...good to know. I guess I was just more curious as to how different it was from real cheese. It seems like cheese that was rushed. Is that accurate? I don't judge it for what it is either. I just want to know the difference from the real deal. I'll tell ya, Cheez Whiz is the only way to go for a real Philly cheese steak, in my opinion. "Wiz with!" as they say in Philly. I learned that about myself years ago contrary to what I thought I'd enjoy more.
@Winston: you are craving those nachos for the same reason I ate the crab rangoons that were mistakenly put in my Chinese food take-out order tonight. These are weird times. We eat weird food.
I have too much to say. I also want to discuss Toddophonic's interview with the Go-Gos gal and I also need to tell everyone that I think the first 5 Ultravox albums should be remixed, I've realized.
Dean, I saw Redd Kross opening for Sonic Youth at Club Lingerie in 1985. Overheard some big stoopid oaf in leather and studs refer to them simply as 'Kross' with the smirk of someone who was on the list.
Gaylord sounded a little distant on mic, but hey… He’s alive and that’s all that matters.
9:01pm
wendy del formaggio:
I love Gaylord’s COVID-era mic breaks. I grew up listening to CBS-FM because my folks loved it. Their mic breaks always had a little echo going on. Gaylord’s mic breaks are kinda like that, but authentic.
@Carmichael: A downstairs neighbor tells me that he strongly believes in the power of prayer. I then showed him that first crazy week of unemployment claims being in the millions a few weeks ago. His eyes bugged out, paused and he said, “Well, I think I need to start looking into unemployment right now…” and went back home.
Dean,I went to see some bands at a crummy office space down town,and I turned around to see Brendan giving me hard stares like 'I know you, but from where?' Probably from one shot shows shows in crummy buildings downtown.
Just an ask to the playlist: Anyone here try out new and off brand hand-sanitzer? I got a bottle this past week from a local place I trust and it smells like Jean Nate.
9:23pm
Dean:
Brendan declared one of my bands "the ultimate in embarassment rock." (I'd always thought it was Rodney, but no.) He was right.
9:23pm
wendy del formaggio:
@bpn: There’s always cheese-speak. This you can count on.
CC, This afternoon I threw caution to the wind and went to my favorite Thai restaurant and got a yellow seafood curry to go. In the safety of my own kitchen I just about passed out because it was so good.
nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose...a point on which the soul may fix its intellectuall-eye...Mary Shelley from Frankenstein...take care Gaylord...
Thanks Gaylord for tonight's freeform journey! No work tomorrow so time is a bit more nebulous, but all the same nice way to wrap up the week. Be well everyone.
