WFMU: Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 14, 2023

Listener comments!
	7:04pm Webhamster Henry: The Phantom has added more final perfs, I understand...
	🎭 7:05pm diciassette: shwmae!
	7:05pm doctorjazz: HI Dhalings! Saw Phantom many moons ago...
	7:06pm WTVinny: What a run!
	7:06pm Webhamster Henry: Auction off the chandelier!
	🎭 7:08pm WR: Hi Bronwyn & AJH streamers.
	7:09pm The Line King: I'm more of a single point in space
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: Schmigadoon / Schmicago is still delightful.
	7:13pm Listener Gregory: I tuned in just in time to hear Bronwyn admonish that she was not, NOT, recommending this movie!! But not in time to hear what movie it was.
	🎭 7:14pm diciassette: congrats on getting tickets! I'm very happy for our heroine
	7:14pm Listener Gregory: To hear this show, I turned off an episode of The Front (?? NY Times radio feature) covering the closing of Phantom. It actually sounded interesting (the promo and first two minutes).
	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @7:10 I saw the earlier seasons of Schmigadoon, haven't caught up with the 3rd season yet (did like the 1st 2)
	7:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ave Maria" by "Dennis DeYoung" Saw a really well produced version of this (Hunchback) at a regional theater in Westchester (RebeccaJazz was in it). It's a dark show, but I really liked it.
	7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:14 I get a few Times Podcasts, but not The Front. Have to check it out!
	7:21pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:13 I missed the title, too, but I think she was talking about Beau Is Afraid, based on the cast
	🎭 7:23pm WR: ↳ Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp @7:21 Yes, but from what I read, Beau is Afraid isn't out until 4/21. Special screening? And why the huge screen, sitting at the very front?
	7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yep Beau Is Afraid. I did like it but don't want to explicitly recommend it because it is three hours of weirdness lol
	7:24pm Webhamster Henry: I have a few "concept albums" that never were staged, but perhaps shouldn't be.
	7:26pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ diciassette @7:14 aww thanks :D
	7:27pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ WR @7:23 I didn't realize it wasn't officially out yet lol. That must be why our tix were $29 each. We were close to the front, it was the IMAX at Lincoln Square
	7:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ The Line King @7:09 hahaha
	🎭 7:28pm WR: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:27 Just quoting what I read on the internet, which does have tenuous relationship with real life.
	7:29pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: The Story of Simon Simopath seems ripe for the picking, as far as staging concept albums goes. Guaranteed press buzz based on the band name alone
	7:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: By the original Nirvana! You could trick Gen-X'rs into coming by advertising it as a Nirvana Musical
	7:36pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:32 Exactly! And on top of that you'd get the overlap between obscure pop culture oddities nerds and people who like musicals--there are at least several dozen of us out there
	🎭 7:36pm Listener Gregory: Last night on Colbert, as surprisingly articulate Nick Cage said that he would like to play the part of Pontius Pilate in JC Superstar. It's his favorite musical, and he thinks that part is the only one he could sing.
	🎭 7:36pm diciassette: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:32 It seems like younger people who haven't heard Nevermind sixty bazillian times are more into Nirvana these days!
	🎭 7:44pm Listener Gregory: I didn't know we are talking Spice Girls today!
	7:48pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 Yes, please! Can some producer make that happen already???
	7:51pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Song: "Light at the End of the Tunnel" by "Richie Havens" What's with that 70s/80s style of backlit-looking animation and illustration where everything is bright outlines on a black background? Was it some attempt to emulate early computer graphics? Is that what the world looks like when you're in some sort of coke-fueled fugue state? It's such an alienating aesthetic
	🎭 7:51pm diciassette: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 Thought you said "Nick Cave" at first! (must be the context). But now "surprisingly articulate" makes a little more sense.
	7:52pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ diciassette @7:51 That would also be great.
	🎭 7:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "Away from This World" by "Sheryl Crow" I was only barely aware this musical existed. Now very curious about it.
	🎭 7:55pm diciassette: ↳ WR @7:54 that voice, ah!
	7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Perfect Hand" by "Steve Earle" Love Steve Earle!
	8:00pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Song: "A Perfect Hand" by "Steve Earle" Was this the one where you had to stand the entire time?
	🎭 8:00pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "A Perfect Hand" by "Steve Earle" A concept album about Imelda Marcos!
	🎭 8:02pm WR: ↳ Song: "Put a Curse on You" by "Melvin Van Peebles" In 1970 I couldn't wrap my head around how great this is .
	8:02pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Put a Curse on You" by "Melvin Van Peebles" This was so good - and check out the Tony Award performance excerpt. www.youtube.com...
	🎭 8:03pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Put a Curse on You" by "Melvin Van Peebles" I feel like I heard a sample of this man's work on a Quasimoto track
	8:04pm Bronwyn Bishop: It's this song, Quasimoto's song that sampled it was also called "Put a Curse on You"
	🎭 8:09pm diciassette: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @8:04 It's good to put it all together!
	🎭 8:18pm TonyR: Just wanted to put in a production comment: The Acid Jazz Hands Records are good and loud tonight. The curaation, as always, is impeccable.
	🎭 8:31pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Dead London - Part 1" by "Jeff Wayne feat Richard... The Welsh invaders have come from outer space!
	8:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: Planet Cymru
	8:33pm Bronwyn Bishop: ↳ TonyR @8:18 aww thank you!! Studio C is a fickle mistress, sometimes it's loud and sometimes it's quiet lol
	8:36pm Notes on Tommy's Holiday Camp: ↳ Song: "Dead London - Part 1" by "Jeff Wayne feat Richard... The placement of those tripod legs seems unstable
	8:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel" by "Green Day" Green Day, one of MollyJazz's favorite bands!
	🎭 8:42pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel" by "Green Day" I took my bass to Billie Joe's shop in Oakland for a set-up. It's a cool joint. They had a beautiful, custom, sparkly, bright green JR in the window (green's my favorite)
	🎭 8:47pm diciassette: Me, I'm obsessed with chowder!
	9:00pm doctorjazz: Time for Curtain Calls, take a bow, BB, thanks!
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: WFMU: the Concept album coming soon!
	9:01pm Juli: That was incredible.
	🎭 9:03pm diciassette: good night Bronwyn! goodbye cruel world! (until next time)
	9:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: good night darlings!
	9:05pm Dean: Green Day, no, please. I was shocked to learn that a friend of mine from S. Cal. came to Berkeley to attend American Idiot at Berkeley Rep. My reply, "Really?!" Don't/won't/can't get the attraction to that band (but then I have a similar disposition toward Nirvana). Head scratch.
	🎭 9:07pm diciassette: ↳ Dean @9:05 Honestly, I did scratch my head when I walked past that.
	🎭 9:07pm WR: Thank you! Bronwyn!

Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 14, 2023

View Bronwyn Bishop's profile

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Tue. Feb 4th, 7pm - 10pm: Acid Jazz Hands fills in for Five Miles to Midnight
Fri. Feb 7th, 7pm - 9pm: Acid Jazz Hands Presents: 1930s Radio (More info...)
Acid Jazz Hands takes you back in time for two hours of real radio broadcasts from the 1930s. Featuring: commercials, interviews, George Gershwin eulogies, and live performances of show tunes from a time when listening to show tunes on the radio was a normal thing to do. Not featuring: the voice of Bronwyn B, since that wouldn't be historically accurate, as Bronwyn B's radio career didn't begin until 1953.

April 14, 2023: Darlings, perhaps a change of pace
