We're opening with a Lunar New Year rock set, then our guests will join us and we'll shift gears.
  6:19pm Mitten John:

So Rob, who would you say is the Lunar New Year equivalent of Guy Lombardo?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:20pm Terre T:

Hey Rob! Thanx so much for the Chinese/Lunar New Year set! Year of The Snake--should be calmer than the crazy chaotic Dragon year of last year!
Avatar 6:23pm Richard from Venezuela:

Loving this set so far. Great music.
  6:26pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

- Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone - !

...My understanding is Chinese New Year begins (precisely) @ sunset after the New Moon in Aquarius - which will be tomorrow (Sunday).
- It is celebrated from New Moon to Full Moon - two weeks - & is *kinda* like all our Holidays rolled into one...
- It will be The Year of the Water Snake.
- The snake is sleek & wise: A good year to consider Fashion & Philosophy - ??
- The Water Element corresponds to not only Feelings & Intuition as it does in the West, but also to Nervous Energy & Verbal Communication - like Mercury in Western conception.
  6:30pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...In the Chinese Calendar you have two years in a row of the same Element, the first one Yang (or Active) & the second one Yin (or Receptive).
- It was Water Dragon - Yang - & now Water Snake - Snake is Yin.
- Maybe more Chill than Dramatic Dragon, yeah
- but still Emotional & Nervous Energy of Water
- & the Snake could mean Intigues...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:30pm Rob Weisberg:

Thanks RevolutionRabbitNov63 for all the info, and everyone for tuning in and checking in!
  6:33pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...'Intrigues' w/ an 'R', that is...

- Given 12 Animals, & 5 Elements (compared to 4 in the West)
- that's a 60-Year Cycle (12X5...like the Stones album...)
- so last Water Snake was 1953.
  6:38pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

Thanx for observing Lunar New Year
- & great Program.
...Isn't *all* Music in fact 'World' Music - ?!? : ) ...
  7:03pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...Put it this way: John Lennon was a Dragon, & Dylan's a Snake...

...Romani vocals sounded a little like Voix Bulgare as influenced Sky Cries Mary & Dead Can Dance for example - & drums kinda like Indian tabla - ???
...Too bad Hendrix isn't here to check this Band of Gypsies - !
(...& if it's considered gauche for me to mention the Stones here - they did record 'Pipes of Pan'!...)
- Django was so great - so Lyrical a Jazz Player - & w/ only two fingers effectively on his fingering hand - ! Wow - !
- No less than Duke Ellington said he was the first European to have something relelvant to say in Jazz (if I paraphrase @ all well)...
  7:18pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...& the Le Ciel Tout Nu track sounds straight-up Middle Eastern (as my points of reference go)
...fascinating...
  7:21pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...I'm thinking lovely choice of representative trax...
  7:27pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...I have heard that Middle Eastern people are considered in France as Mexicans are considered in America (received information)...
- WWII followed the Depression: Take the money out - & people retreat into Nationalism. Look @ Golden Dawn in Greece. Frightening.
...& they're protesting against Gay Marriage in France. France - !!!
- It's interesting to Compare & Contrast the situations (Economy, Politix, Immigration) in the USA & Europe...
  7:58pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

'Nationalism is a Disease
- it is the smallpox of the Human Race.'
- Einstein
  8:04pm Esteban:

How exactly are "mexicans considered in America"?
  8:04pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

GoogleCorrection:

'Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.'
  8:07pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

@Estaban:
- *all too often*, w/ undue Prejudice
- & singled out as minority Scapegoats for political advantage
- esp. in economicallly challenging times.
  8:13pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...Times are Hard
- so I blame the Jews
- the Mexicans
- the Romani...
- Elect Me & I'll come up w/ some Final Solution (a Giant Wall, maybe...) & get rid of them & all our problems will be magically solved...
  8:25pm Barba:

WTF? lady singing in Greek sounds like Anna from my old group.
  8:25pm Barba Yiorgi:

Something about Agamemnon... who will be the victor...
  8:27pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...Never mind that they often actually personify our Mythical 'American Values' of Piety, Family & Puritanical Hard Work & Industry
- never mind that migrant workers, for example (yes, Sir - respectfully - they are only one group) , actually pay taxes to the exchequor every time they buy anything in the USA - whether they are documented & have Rights as Citizens or not...
- never mind that migrant workers are essential to the Economy of the USA...
- Never mind that Native Americans & Spanish immigrants were here *before* Anglos
... &tc. ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:28pm Rob Weisberg:

@ Barba - I don't have my special glasses to help me read the singers' name right now - all I know is that the cd featured members of Hungarian groups Vujicsics & Ghymes - I think...
  8:29pm Barba Yiorgi:

it's Nena Venetsanou. I'll look into it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32pm Rob Weisberg:

Thanks Barba Yiorgi! The cd is one of various international collaborative projects that have been orchestrated by the rather idiosyncratic south-of-France musician Michel Montanaro.
Avatar 8:32pm Sigurdur:

A big shout out from Iceland, 5 fellows saying hi
  8:32pm Barba Yiorgi:

OK she was the guest vocalist on this cut, Greek lyrics, don't know who wrote it. She's apparently a Greek singer in the Entechna (art-song-
semi-cassical) genre.
  8:36pm Barba Yiorgi:

NEna is very similar style as better-known Greek singer Maria Farantouri. Both known as interpreters of Mikis Theodorakis. More info you don't ned
Avatar 8:40pm Sigurdur:

Well lets go with the waves
  8:46pm Barba Yiorgi:

TONIGHT- at Jay Street Bar, 69 Jay ST,Dumbo - Que Vlo-ve? Rembetika music with Quince MArcum and Wade Ripka. Good stuff.
  8:47pm Barba Yiorgi:

That's at 10. Quince sings, backed by 2 guitars. Real Rembetika, no half-steppin.
  8:56pm RevolutionRabbitNov63:

...This is both an Entertaining & Educational experience here - !
- I appreciate being schooled - !
- Thanx everybody.
