Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Format	Comments	Approx. start time
The Brass Ring	Love Theme from The Flight of the Phoenix	Love Theme from The Flight of the Phoenix	Dunhill	1966	LP	"Love is reaching for a cigarette, and finding a hand there with a cigarette already lighted for you."	0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Monk Higgins	Love's Theme "Love's Theme" by "Monk Higgins"	Dance to the Disco Sax of Monk Higgins	Buddah	1974	LP	“Discotheque” means "library of phonograph records" in French, and that term gradually came to refer to these clubs where records were the norm, rather than a band. In the early ‘60s, the word came into use in the United States, frequently shortened to “disco.” (from capesymphony.org)	0:02:34 (Pop-up)
The Night People	Again "Again" by "The Night People"	Again	The Sound of Brooklyn	1980	7"		0:05:42 (Pop-up)
Diahann Carroll and the Andre Previn Trio	It Ain't Necessarily So	Porgy and Bess	United Artists	1959	LP	"The brilliant Gershwin lyrics have also served to make It Ain't Necessarily So the classic it is. In this new version (it is sung by a man, this time by the wily New Yorker Sporting Life, and generally ignored by girl singers); as presented by Diahann and the trio, featuring a remarkable interplay between instrumentalists and vocalist, it is something special indeed."	0:11:46 (Pop-up)
Tania Maria	Come With Me "Come With Me" by "Tania Maria"	Come With Me	Concord Jazz	1983	LP	"Come With Me closes the first side with some loping, mid-tempo lyricism that will unstick rusty locks and bring smiles to the terminally misanthropic. There's even a little dash of Boswell Sisters harmony here and there."	0:13:50 (Pop-up)
Cliff Richard	Fly Me To the Moon (In Other Words)	Kinda Latin	Columbia	1966	LP		0:19:17 (Pop-up)
The Sandpipers	Strangers in the Night	Guantanamera	A&M	1966	LP	"Songs / For the sad / Easy lazy softly / Sounds / Take-them- / Or-leave-them / Pleasant, present / Notes"	0:22:01 (Pop-up)
Manuel And His Strings	Spanish Harlem	Manuel And His Strings Play Spanish Harlem	MGM	1962ish	LP	"After you listen to the lush, romantic arrangements of Manuel And His Strings, with the sensitive use of background vocals, the lilting guitars and the exciting rhythms, you will agree that this orchestra is unique. If you are looking for a sound that is different, Manuel And His Strings are fashioned for you."	0:24:30 (Pop-up)
Gran Orquesta	Siete Notas De Amor	Romanticos del Caribe	Omega	UNKNOWN	LP	"Siendo sus instrumentaciones de un corte netamente universal, mantienen un suave toque ritmico, que hace muy agradable el sonido musical de sus cuerdas y metales. / Being their instruments of a clearly universal cut, they maintain a soft rhythmic touch, which makes the musical sound of their strings and brass very pleasant."	0:27:20 (Pop-up)
Xavier Cugat	I'm Old-Fashioned (with Lina Romay)	Mambo Fever: 22 Original Mambo Hits	UNKNOWN	1942 (originally)	MP3	A Jerome Kern/Johnny Mercer composition	0:30:42 (Pop-up)
The Brass Breed	Sugar Town "Sugar Town" by "The Brass Breed"	Mod Mod Brass	Wyncote	1967	LP	"The Brass Breed is a fast moving, hard hitting band that is right at home with the new mod sound... we guarantee that they will drive you absolutely mod."	0:36:10 (Pop-up)
Exotic Guitars	Music to Watch Girls By	Those Were the Days	Ranwood	1968	LP	"Ba-da, ba-da-da, bah-bah-bah-bah..."	0:39:46 (Pop-up)
Billy Strange	Eight Days a Week "Eight Days a Week" by "Billy Strange"	English Hits of '65	Crescendo	1965	LP	"Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules The Air Waves!... As fresh as tomorrow morning's newspaper, here are the songs and sounds that have established England as a the preeminent global force in popular music."	0:40:28 (Pop-up)
Marty Gold	Eleanor Rigby "Eleanor Rigby" by "Marty Gold"	Moog Plays the Beatles	AVCO Embassy	1969	LP	"Less than a decade ago, this would have sounded like a preposterous title, for nobody knew then what either a Moog or a Beatle was."	0:43:05 (Pop-up)
A Man Called Adam	Yachts "Yachts" by "A Man Called Adam"	All My Favourite...	Southern Fried	2004	CD		0:48:45 (Pop-up)
Enoch Light and His Orchestra	The Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai	Far Away Places	Command	1961	LP	"Enoch Light has shown that there are vast new musical worlds to explore. He has raised the curtain on some of the exciting new possibilities that can be developed by those who have both creative imagination and an understanding of the tremendous potentials in the musico-electronic revolution that is going on around us everyday."	0:54:15 (Pop-up)
Lani Royal with The Diamond Head Band	Hawaiian War Chant	Percussive Pineapples: The Sound of Hawaii	KAPP	1961	LP	"Ancient, primitive traditions surge to life with the dramatic throb of drums as the friendly islanders recall famous battles from history. Perhaps the drums stir memories of the battle of Nuuanu, when King Kamehameha won a crushing victory over Kalinikupule. Today, the drums are a signal for festivities, and tuned bongos introduce the famous War Chant on the left speaker."	0:56:47 (Pop-up)

Listener comments!
	2:00pm Rubberband Girl: Up and running!
	2:01pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi !
	2:01pm MHLee: I loved that song we just had a second of between shows. Wolfbait - Henry Thome
	2:01pm ironybread: Love! Cigarettes! Hands! Alto saxophones! All this and more will be yours today on...P.P.
	2:01pm Rubberband Girl: lol, MH - sorry to cut it off!
	2:02pm Rubberband Girl: The line in the comments for this is one from an entire poem on the back of this sleeve – will upload to IG before the show ends!
	2:03pm MHLee: No worries, I've got it on a comp called Devil's Jukebox.
	2:03pm Mr Fab: I must have walked miles yesterday trick-or-treating with Li'l Fab, so it's nice to chill thusly.
	2:03pm Otis: Listening in at the desk. Hello Rubberband Girl and fellow Rubberbanders.
	2:04pm Rubberband Girl: You guys, this is my favorite episode so far. Just saying. Hope you can stay the full hour!
	2:04pm Mr Fab: 1974 - pretty early used of the word "disco."
	2:05pm Rubberband Girl: " “Discotheque” means "library of phonograph records" in French, and that term gradually came to refer to these clubs where records were the norm, rather than a band. In the early ‘60s, the word came into use in the United States, frequently shortened to “disco.” "
	2:05pm Otis: I do love Monk "Sheba Baby" Higgins. This album has one of my fav Monk cuts, One Man Band. Love that you are featuring this LP. God, it even has ELO's Showdown. Killer pick RG!
	2:07pm Rubberband Girl: Special thx to ironybread for making today possible!!
	2:08pm Mr Fab: I was thinking "disco" as the dance music genre. People called DJ clubs "discos," but 1974 seemed to be right around the time when the actual genre descriptor seemed to start to crop up.
	2:09pm Feldy: Hey Rubberband Girl. Great Discotheque explanation
	2:09pm Rubberband Girl: Yes, Fab!! I gotcha.
	2:09pm Mr Fab: ironybread made this happen- oh cool, how so?
	2:10pm ironybread: Fab - interesting about the trickortreating, my friend in Glassell Park who in non-pandemic years gets several hundred trickortreaters on Halloween just spent the second year in a row staying home and getting zero visitors
	2:11pm Name to be displayed: Glad to be here!
	2:11pm Rubberband Girl: I am in a new neighborhood this year, and my neighbor said kids don't come to our block, so I turned off the porch light and rewatched Season 8 of Dexter for 6 hours.
	2:13pm Rubberband Girl: "gospel" and "poss'ble" – love it!
	2:17pm Mr Fab: ironybread, the man hisself! Well, we went to a neighborhood in Van Nuys that blocks auto traffic and zillions of kids swarm. Very elaborate decorations. Kinda like Candy Cane Lane only for Halloween instead of Xmas (Candy Corn Lane?)
	2:19pm Mr Fab: oh yeah, brilliant lyrics on It Ain't Necessarily So, def one of Gershwin's best. "that man made his home in/ that fish' abdomen."
	2:20pm MHLee: I live in a neighborhood with children this year but I was working on assignments about HIV for the class I teach and tuned in here
	2:22pm MHLee: Also I realized the opening of Shakira's Hips Don't Lie is basically this in another key. I mashed them up at some point
	2:23pm Rubberband Girl: This album also has crazy interesting, poetic liner notes (Sandpipers).
	2:24pm Rubberband Girl: @MH, I'll have to revisit and investigate that re: Shakira.
	2:29pm Rubberband Girl: I love this LP and there is no information about it on the entire internet (re: Romanticos del Caribe). I believe it is perhaps the same orchestra as Gran Orquesta de Cuba.
	2:30pm Rubberband Girl: Romanticos de Cuba, I mean. If anyone has any insight, it is much appreciated!
	2:37pm Mr Fab: Next time someone says in that condescending tone, "Google is your friend" just tell them "Oh Yeah? Then why can't I find any info on the "Romanticos del Caribe" album, eh, EH?!" But really, I have come to the sad conclusion that there's plenty of info getting lost to the mists of time. We'll probably never know anything about some of my fave thrift-store records.
	2:38pm Feldy: working and lurking
	2:39pm Rubberband Girl: Things are about to pick up in a BIG WAY, y'all (in case that last set made you sleepy and dreamy)...
	2:39pm Feldy: I think about this, too, Mr Fab. We're so impressed with ourselves for converting the world's information to zeros and ones that can so easily be erased
	2:39pm Domenic: Also working and lurking
	2:39pm Feldy: Love this version of Music to watch girls...
	2:41pm Rubberband Girl: Re: the internet, I do have a fantasy of better documenting the obscure LP's, perhaps in my golden years. It would be an endless endeavor! It is partly why I'm getting kind of obsessed with including liner notes here.
	2:44pm Otis: Opposed to social media platforms, personal websites, hosted blogs and WFMU are much less ephemeral imo. Nice to read posted comments here RG.
	2:46pm MHLee: @RG I'm in the lostwave internet phenomenon, we have the song but don't know the name of the artist
	2:46pm Rubberband Girl: I started a blog years ago, which I quickly abandoned, of course, as I do with many projects. I think my first entry was this Marty Gold album.
	2:47pm MHLee: Sorta the opposite side
	2:47pm Mr Fab: I most certainly do appreciate the liners!
	2:50pm Rubberband Girl: Stay tuned for the most frantic and swinging rendition of Hawaiian War Chant coming up...
	2:51pm Rubberband Girl: FYI, I'll still be doing the 2pm/11am slot until further notice!
	2:55pm MHLee: Nice, I'll be here most days then...
	2:56pm Rubberband Girl: Does anyone know what ever happened to the Spaced Out website or who ran it? Speaking of internet ephemera...
	2:57pm Otis: Sure, it was Robbie Baldock. Haven't seen the site online in a number of years but others here may know more. I contributed a bunch of LP scans a good 20 years ago.
	2:59pm Rubberband Girl: Thank you, Otis! I am so glad to be part of this community and network of aficionados. I wonder if the info was lost at some point? I'd love to (help) revive it somehow.
	3:00pm Mr Fab: I am thoroughly persuaded! MUch thanks, m'lady.
	3:00pm Rubberband Girl: Alright, folks! Back to my new day job...
	3:01pm Otis: RG, let's talk more... I am an Enoch Light nut and I know Robbie is on FB so we can ask him. Cheers and thanks again for the killer selections today.
	3:02pm Rubberband Girl: Right on! Until next week, xoxo
