The entire stream was his idea, to be honest

Hello Jesse! The first time real time tuning in! I wanted to tell you that I saw your website the other day and loved your art very much.

Hi Mayuko, thanks so much! Looking forward to going back to back with you next week!

Mayuko:

ah yes Doug! the next week is already September 1st! unbelievable.
Avatar 7:14pm
Jesse K:

@Doug, you are a wellspring of GTDR. Like a Daniel Plainview of radio, setting up fountainheads of sound all over the country. But much more friendly
Avatar 7:15pm
Jesse K:

whoa, sorry got a little carried away with that one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:18pm
Jeff Golick:

How about a Johnny Appleseed of radio, planting kernels of sonic delights that bloom and blossom throughout the land?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:18pm
Doug Schulkind:

Mayuko's fill in for me ( her playlists are here: wfmu.org... ) will only be the beginning (huge hint) of something big...

@Jesse K
I prefer the Daniel Plainview fountainhead over the Ayn Rand kind.

Don't be cross with me, Buster!

Jesse K:

Hi Steve, thanks! got a real long cassette coming up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:26pm
Jeff Golick:

So it seems there was a real Johnny Appleseed, nee Chapman, but Michael Pollen tells us (via wiki) that since Johnny Appleseed was against grafting, his apples were not of an edible variety and could be used only for cider: "Really, what Johnny Appleseed was doing and the reason he was welcome in every cabin in Ohio and Indiana was he was bringing the gift of alcohol to the frontier. He was our American Dionysus."

Therefore, by the transitive property of metaphors, Doug is our American Dionysis. Or, if you prefer, our Dougonysis.

whoa I screwed up the vibe there by chopping up that African Head Charge track. SORRY!

Mayuko:

Apparently that Akira song was an opening song for a film from 1960. www.youtube.com... That was kinda silly, funny song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:42pm
listener james from westwood:

Well done, Jesse! And shockingly, I still haven't read Mary Norris's book on copyediting for the New Yorker. Heresy!
Avatar 7:43pm
Jesse K:

Oh, nice one Mayuko thanks! It was a little silly but I had to shoehorn it in to that set somehow
Avatar 7:48pm
Mayuko:

That was strangely a great fit into that set, Jesse! It's always fun for me to hear music from my country in a totally unexpected way like that. And I meant it was the lyrics that was a bit silly ... musicwise that was pretty nice!
Avatar 7:56pm
Jesse K:

I really love a lot of different styles of Japanese music but I think I kind of freaked a guy out at the ICA when he put the headphones on and I was playing a Hikawa Kiyoshi song that was kind of recent.
Avatar 7:57pm
Jesse K:

Oh, the important bit of information was that he was Japanese.
Avatar 8:04pm
Mayuko:

I have to say playing any Enka song could be pretty aggressive move for most of the people, haha! Unless they're Japanese. Even Rob Weisberg said he's not a huge fan of it (and yet of course he owns way more Enka stuff than I do.)

Uncle Michael:

I have lots of records I don't like too!

Jesse K:

1. I not so secretly love enka
2. Hi Uncle Michael!
3. THESE ARE BIRDS PLAYING GUITARS
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:10pm
Uncle Michael:

4. Therefore, Uncle Michael is a bird.
Avatar 8:10pm
Jesse K:

Does that explain the turtles thing?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:11pm
Uncle Michael:

It's turtles all the way down. As I understand it, that's supposed to explain everything.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:12pm
Uncle Michael:

Are these guitars tuned to chords?
Avatar 8:14pm
Jesse K:

Yeah, I believe they're all left out on stands in a museum, tuned to different chords. The birds land and fly around and goof off and it made this.
Avatar 8:15pm
Jesse K:

I'm going to channel Doug here for a second: Most of the fretting was probably done by the curators, who had to clean up poop every day

Hey northguineahills!
Here's what it looked like: diccan.com...

I had imagined the guitars oriented horizontally, strings upward, and bird seed sprinkled on them.

I have to go back to hanging a mic out my window during my show. I like hearing birds.

Can you hang a guitar out there as well?

I have a bass. Does that help?
Avatar 8:27pm
Jesse K:

Do you think their tiny talons can pluck bass strings?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:30pm
Uncle Michael:

Maybe. I don't seem to have may lead singers in the flock. They never come near the mic.

Yeah, nails to the end!

I'm no ornithologist, but my grandmother taught me my birds.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:34pm
Uncle Michael:

There's a bike shop here in town that wouldn't sell out and they got built around. During the construction, the guy had a port-o-pot out on his sidewalk for about a year when the developers "accidentally" severed his connection to city sewers.

oh,man! but that's why it bums me out. Life becomes miserable.
- the thing is, usually it's not about a beautiful home passed down in the family (usually) -it's about these pigs who have the money but don't make an offer that adequately compensates for the ordeal of relocating.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:40pm
coelacanth:

UM, that's in your town? is it still a bike shop?
Avatar 8:42pm
Jesse K:

Yeah it is bleak but a thorn in the side of progress is better than total unabated mallscapes in my opinion

This might be recorded in Japan, Toshiya Tsunoda did the recording and manipulation

i like the image for Mika Vainio/Joachim Nordwall where there's 5-6 (or more) holdouts. 'still hope! still community!

Yes Jesse i agree. i'm not opposed to all "progress",but i've not been convinced that the demise of culture and community is progress.

This has been a wonderful set. Still being stuck with work and yet feels like I'm enjoying a pleasant summer night outdoor! (especially with the amphibians)

So these are all messed with and not pure recordings right?
Avatar 8:52pm
Mayuko:

that's ok I love metallic too... now it feels like I'm taking a nice little walk through an industrial area...
Avatar 8:52pm
Jesse K:

These cicadas are not messed with as far as I know. I'm not positive about the Ernesto Diaz-Infante track. The Toshiya Tsunoda was definitely messed with by him.
