Every week, those silly space muppets get totally confused by the radio they encounter. You think they'd finally figure it out.

@carmichael: Indeed it is! (was)
  12:21am
Carmichael:

I don't know the reason, but you've dialed in my youth. I heard most of these songs on transistor radio, out back in the fields.

It's a little scary ... :-)

Marc in Liverpool:

I got worried and thought that was Gary Glitter for a second.

In the UK they made a tv movie called the Execution of Gary Glitter. A fictional story if the death penalty was reintroduced.
Avatar ♥ 12:41am

@Marc: Did Gary get the chair or was he lethally injected?

i like your new bed music and i also like this song

Thanks, Chris! Stay tuned for Imaginary Radio after this program, folks. Three hours of Foghat, guaranteed!

(I'm kidding, of course!)

thanks, Joe! i'll bring your usual cash fee with me

Marc in Liverpool:

They might've hung him. That's the method used for the last capital punishment in Britain. We're low tech.
Avatar ♥ 12:48am
Joe McG:

@chris: It's extra for on-air promotion.
Avatar ♥ 12:49am
Joe McG:

@Marc: I can guess what they hung him by!
  1:04am
Matt from Springfield:

Play What Ever You Want, It's All Right Joe!
  1:08am
Matt from Springfield:

That's funny--many people (myself included) always get Gary Glitter and Gary Gilmore confused (the first American executed after capital punishment was reinstated). I was about to say how in the state of Utah, Mr. Gilmore was actually executed by firing squad. He preferred that to hanging.
Avatar ♥ 1:11am
Joe McG:

Hey, Matt! You mean there isn't a great British TV movie about the execution of Gary Glitter?
  1:12am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: I'd like to see that movie actually--but I was about to correct Marc because I knew the circumstance of Gary Gilmore's execution--only to find out that he WAS talking about Gary Glitter, this time!
  1:14am
Matt from Springfield:

Lovely Sandstone!
A light, Latiny version of Bryter Layter instrumentals!
Avatar ♥ 1:17am
Joe McG:

It's such a nice little album, recorded in my neck of the woods, near where I grew up, in the early 70s by a trio of teenagers.
  1:19am
Chop Scott:

I need a line somewhat softer in tone yet conveying "clown show" for a nasty landlord letter---Any help out there?
  1:20am
Matt from Springfield:

I heart local productions, on local labels! I've bought a few such gems over the years. Nothing Earth-shaking so far, but all of them as good as any other record from their days.

What a name, Formerly Fat Harry! This is also a nice song. But why were those recordings lost??! Well, as long as they're found now :)
  1:21am
Matt from Springfield:

Hey Scott!
Depends: do you mean the LL's management is like a "clown show", or are you complaining about "clown show" neighbors?
  1:22am
12539:

Farce?
  1:23am
Matt from Springfield:

Lush, early 70s arrangements, to 80s Feelies, to a modern new release: ALL of them blending together in the same vibe! How wonderful! Especially for the late night.
Avatar ♥ 1:25am
Joe McG:

Single File will kill the flow dead, Matt! @Scott: What's going on with the landlord?
  1:29am
Matt from Springfield:

Santo and Johnny! Trying to put my finger on who that was!
Good bed music, add this to your regular assortment.
  1:29am
Matt from Springfield:

On the plus side though, Single File is another totally special thing! Always welcomed here!
  1:32am
Chop Scott:

Clown Show. The true descriptive term----Landlord, contractors--I cannot believe the situation I am in-Have to write something tonight Need a softer langauge, and I am so
angry. to edit in the light of morning

Avatar ♥ 1:36am
Joe McG:

@Scott: It's tough to do it when you're angry. Better to cool off and go back to it later.
  1:38am
Matt from Springfield:

@C.Scott: Softer terms might be "dysfunctional", "inconsiderate", it depends how you're using them. But, like Joe says, write what you feel, back off it for a while and re-edit the whole thing when you're feeling calmer.
Avatar ♥ 1:40am
Joe McG:

Hi, ledzepsucks!
  1:40am
Chop Scott:

Yes, indeed. I'll drink more and write some very shitty things to purge now and edit tomorrow! Thanks all...

No problem, Scott.

"Loose Booty"! Here is Joe's typical exquisite taste! ;)

Fantastic echo on this dub!

Matt from Springfield:

Never heard of the Jah Guidance label--do you have more of these, or is this the only one you've found?
Avatar ♥ 1:56am

@Matt: No, cheap reggae 45s are kind of hard to come by for me, so this is def. the only one I have on Jah Guidance!

thank you for playing my favorite Magazine song as a special dedication to me.
Avatar ♥ 2:25am
Joe McG:

@Matt: You weren't with us early in the show, but isn't there something just vaguely Gary Glitter-ish about that guitar riff?
Avatar ♥ 2:26am
Joe McG:

I'd like to dedicate that Magazine track to Chris M. of Imaginary Radio. The light is pouring out of him right now. You can bask in its rays in about a half hour!
  2:28am
chris m.:

Joe McG just earned another $50
  2:28am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: Sure, maybe a little bit slower and higher, and you'd have a workable early 70s Glitter riff.

Matt from Springfield:

HWWOW. Just noticed the "From 1965" comment! John Cale is certainly a forward-thinker...but THAT much forward at the time, wow!
Avatar ♥ 2:31am
Joe McG:

@Matt: Yeah, it sounds like somebody just put this out last week, right?
  2:33am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: YEAH! Or, 1971 minimum. MINIMUM mind you! John's busted the space-time continuum! :)
Avatar ♥ 2:33am
Joe McG:

Or at least some of his guitar strings.
  2:35am
Matt from Springfield:

Is Sun Blindness Music Cale's own album, or a comp?
Avatar ♥ 2:36am
Joe McG:

It's a comp of things he did in 1965 that Tony Conrad recorded at home. It's all him, but he never put it out himself.
  2:38am
Matt from Springfield:

Amazing relic of early guitar (and rhythm, and sonic) experimentation! Glad someone decided to release that!

Ahhh, more people should do Brian Eno covers!
Avatar ♥ 2:39am
Joe McG:

I wouldn't argue with that!
  2:40am
Matt from Springfield:

The steel guitar here certainly brings out the country elements of the original.
