9:54pm david_r:

church keys!

9:56pm david_r:

I told you I'm already drinkin'!

9:57pm dave miss:

Hi Dave Rh!!

9:59pm Bruce S.:

Time for a reappraisal of Elvis's movies!

10:00pm Bruce S.:

Elvis was really really great

10:00pm The Butterman:

I blame that no good Colonel Tom Parker, that’s who.

10:01pm Bruce S.:

I'm starting to realise that now

10:01pm The Butterman:

This darn covid has really put a damper on smorgasbords

10:02pm Bruce S.:

I just cant get enough of that bit

10:03pm garlic lover:

I’m a big fan of that introduction montage .. killer ending

10:03pm Bruce S.:

10:04pm The Butterman:

My son can lip sync the entire opening montage.

10:04pm KWilde:

Tell us what you can Dave

10:06pm Bruce S.:

Will you stop Dave

10:08pm Bruce S.:

I feel like I've been sucked into a vortex

10:08pm sufferwords:

def my mantra- namaste Mo

10:09pm longish:

Holy crikey: I find refuge in the cacophony of the Dave the Spazz show and he tells me to tune out? Entering a confusing Mao’s Red Guard realm and I love it!

10:10pm Bergey:

This is amazing

10:12pm Lolo in Brooklyn:

I’m doing the mashed potatoes!!

10:13pm dave miss:

The “s” on the end is killin me! LOL

10:13pm Bruce S.:

where the hell do you dig these records up from?

10:15pm BH:

Colonel Parker insisting he's from West Virginia and not Holland, and having it work for decades, was an amazing feat. It did limit Elvis' opportunities a little

10:21pm Robm:

@BH always wondered why elvis never did any over seas tour’s

10:23pm Bruce S.:

Whats the best Elvis bio to read?

🙉

10:27pm Wild Honey:

@bruce S - Last Train to Memphis and Careless Love by Peter Guralnick are the best Elvis bios

10:27pm KWilde:

Guralnick books are great

10:29pm Bruce S.:

Thanks alot Wild Honey and KWilde

10:30pm Bruce S.:

Fats Waller -He died so young

10:30pm longish:

Not sure. I’d avoid the Griel Marcus 2-vol set, though. That guy makes the most salacious stuff read like Wonder Bread.

10:33pm dave miss:

Like wonder bread, bananas, peanut butter and bacon?

10:33pm longish:

Oops, meant Guralnick, not Marcus. Thorough but dull.

10:36pm Bruce S.:

I havent read Greil Marcus in years

10:38pm Bruce S.:

I like lester Bangs and Robert Christgue for sayin alot with few words

10:38pm mariano:

Fietje!

10:39pm fietje:

Hello everybody!

10:40pm Bruce S.:

I should read Greil again though because I'm not sure I got him the first time

10:42pm Bruce S.:

Great version of stealin

10:44pm longish:

My view of Marcus, Guralnick and Robert Christgau was informed by unholy opinions expressed in Kicks! magazine 30 years ago!

10:45pm Bruce S.:

Hi fietje

10:47pm Bruce S.:

I wish you could tell me more longish

10:48pm Bruce S.:

You know Cher's records are not really bad

10:48pm PJ:

Who knew Cher was into the Kinks?
J/K - Some producer (Sonny?) probably told her to sing it, and she did.

10:48pm Matt Fiveash:

Aaay Dave you sound good tonight! (Harry Harrison snuffling noises)

10:49pm Bruce S.:

Or not bad really

10:49pm PJ:

Primo Dr. John too? Somebody give that A&R man a raise!

10:49pm dave miss:

Shite. I missed Fietje. I was watching the Thriller video.

10:50pm phat in Lincoln:

So, how the hell did Cher get ahold of "I Go to Sleep" in 1965? Looking it up the Applejacks put it out the same year. Huh.

10:50pm longish:

L-U-V this Cher set.

10:51pm TheManWhoLaughs:

The Tiny Tim cover of I Got You Babe is about the best Cher related song I can think of

10:51pm Miles:

Davies' demo was shopped around, he was hit makin commodity

10:52pm Bruce S.:

Cher's material is usually really catchy

10:53pm goldenrules:

that "I Go to Sleep" song blew my mind. it seems to be in the same vein as the inspiration for some of Zappa's musical pastiche on his 60s albums.

10:53pm phat in Lincoln:

@Miles I love how demos made the rounds across the ocean in those days.

10:54pm Miles:

I believe Peggy Lee also did "Sleep" or a similar Ray Davies ballad. he was proud of his association w her. Sonny & Cher also did th Kinks song Set Me Free

10:55pm Bruce S.:

Cher always sounds sincere but not overly sincere

10:55pm Vertual:

Did Phil Spector push the buttons on the early Cher songs?

10:55pm PJ:

@phat: It worked both ways, Fairport Convention was amazed to be sent all these unreleased Dylan songs for consideration when they started recording.

10:58pm johnk77:

the drummer on cher's version
of guilded splinters died:<
https://www.al.com/news/2021/05/swampers-drummer-muscle-shoals-sound-studio-cofounder-roger-hawkins-has-died.html

10:58pm Vertual:

i guess when she sang backup with Ronettes.

10:59pm Miles:

Cher's 60s records are great as are the duo's. as a matter of fact I just picked up Sonny's album Inner Views ('68?) a couple days ago which has some great psychedelic stuff. Sinatra of course did BANG BANG

11:00pm Miles:

I think Sonny who had essentially studied under Phil just emulated Spectors production style

11:03pm Bruce S.:

Cher was able to star contemporary for like 40 years

11:04pm PJ:

I just found out that Fred Silverman, who gave the world Pink Lady & Jeff, as well as Supertrain, a series about a nuclear powered train (think the "Love Boat" on rails) which nearly bankrupted NBC, was the guy who approached Sonny & Cher to do a TV show, which forever will be my Ur-Variety Show.

11:05pm coscobbob:

That was a very educational intro you gave to this song, Dave. I learn a lot from your show and WFMU

11:06pm Bruce S.:

PJ Fred silverman was hot shit in the 70s. I forgot exactly what he did but he was very succesful for awhile

11:10pm dave miss:

See! WFMU is educational! Costco Bob learned somethin’

11:10pm Choo Choo Charlie:

I would just like to say I've been in musical Heaven all night long!!!...:)

11:10pm PJ:

@Bruce S: All it takes is one episodic melodrama about a nuclear-powered train to derail your career.

🙉

11:11pm TonyR:

Rolled out of bed to thank DtS for the Cher set. Her "All I Really want to do" is one of my for-realz/no-irony Desert Island discs.

11:12pm PJ:

@Dave the Spazz: What is the funniest W.C. Fields movie? I saw My Little Chickadee recently, and found it ok, not really getting the best out of Fields or Mae West. The Fatal Glass of Beer, on the other hand, had me in stitches.

11:12pm Bruce S.:

PJ Lol

11:14pm Bruce S.:

Great version of compared to what. Never heard it before thanks Dave

11:18pm Miles:

minutes later I can't even remember the song BUT did we just hear Tryin To Get To You? who did it? I'm confused. some song usually associated w Elvis

11:19pm Choo Choo Charlie:

Just goes to show you some things you never heard you still never heard!!!...:)

11:19pm Bruce S.:

Listening to Spazz with the playlist right in front of me is toally different then just listening to the show

11:21pm Bruce S.:

But just listening to the show is pretty good too

11:24pm Miles:

was i trippin? oh well. I guess I knew it was Orbison & "Tryin" . I should stop trying my own damn self

11:28pm Choo Choo Charlie:

Dave is like Jimmy Durante, he's got a million of 'em!!!...:)

11:28pm pottybear:

Are you a mysterious Arab shiek?
No, I’m a hot Jewish cop.

11:29pm Creature Boy:

I guess the Corleys had a June too

11:31pm Creature Boy:

Wow Annalisa

11:33pm Creature Boy:

I'm with Miles ( in fact i AM Miles) did I get dosed?

11:33pm Creature Boy:

Just Spazzed out i guess

11:34pm Bruce S.:

I love the whole Johnny Lydon thing

11:36pm david_r:

Hey Dave Mi!

11:37pm dave miss:

ARrrrrrrr!

11:38pm Choo Choo Charlie:

The room is in a mess!!!...etc...:)

11:41pm Bruce S.:

One of the classics of the night

11:44pm Bruce S.:

Who produced Midnight Confession?

11:45pm coscobbob:

Tremendous!

11:47pm McGroovey:

I have a sister Pam.

11:47pm Bruce S.:

All right Psycho-Delic

11:48pm Vertual:

How THIS is meditation

11:49pm Choo Choo Charlie:

Yep!!!...:)

11:51pm Vertual:

Sounds like Sonny trying to do Lou Reed. The Velvet Garlic.

11:52pm McGroovey:

Is this the single version, or the album version?

11:53pm TheManWhoLaughs:

This song is hilariously depressing

🙉

11:53pm TonyR:

Oh, Sonny. No.

11:54pm Bruce S.:

I'm Dumdfounded

11:56pm McGroovey:

Ending the show on the right

11:56pm Bruce S.:

Moe the most underrated velvet

11:57pm Vertual:

It's all Long Island's fault

11:57pm Choo Choo Charlie:

Terrific show!!!...:)

11:57pm dave miss:

Wow. That hurt Maureen

11:58pm Bruce S.:

Dave you've done it again thanks have a good week

11:59pm radioronan:

Well this show wasn't a bummer.. thanks Dave..Bingo..skeletons.. !

12:10am Ken From Hyde Park:

Before I tuned into this station, I was dumb as a monkey. Now I'm smart as a chimp. That's education!
