	6:12pm egould: The Epiphone guitar Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith is playing in the accu was eventually purchased by Deniz Tek. Rock n roll royalty right there. www.detroitrocknrollmagazine.com...
	6:12pm Frank In Queens: ↳ egould @6:12 A logical and worthy successor of such a magical instrument.

	⚡ 6:16pm Aitch: ↳ egould @6:12 Radio Birdman about to do final tour, playing at my kid's College bar, saw them pre-Covid and they were still great
	6:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: True Testimonial wigkey : en.wikipedia.org... ...I think there was also some objection to how certain band members were represented in the film - especially in the post-band years, iirc. Almost wonder if Kramer's stated objections were cover for those. All speculation...
	6:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:16 Hi Will!
	⚡ 6:17pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Terry @6:14 Hi Terry!
	⚡ 6:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: I hope you're having a blast Scotty!!!
	6:18pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Aitch @6:16 I saw. One of my biggest regrets was not doing everything possible to see them when they came around about 15 years ago or so. What the fuck was i thinking?! I've seen Dennis Tek though, so there's that at least.

	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Just Don't Know" by "MC5" When you consider TheWho's 1st Album was out only Dec.'65 - BlueCheer if they existed weren't a trio yet - the Velvet's wouldn't have one out til '67 - TheStooges hadn't debuted @ all...
	⚡ 6:25pm medson: I love how they got booted from Elektra.
	6:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:24 - & it sounds like that...
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Just Don't Know" by "MC5" ...maybe The PrettyThings might've sounded like that in '66 ...if their amps were bigger :D ...
	6:29pm Terry: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:17 Hey CG
	6:30pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:25 That’s just American aggression, Midwestern desperation, and hard drugs. And a little Detroit soul.
	6:30pm Stuli: E=MC5!!
	6:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:28 They were definitely taking cues from the British bands. You can hear it in the early material. That '66 Breakout comp reveals a lot.
	6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @6:30 It sure is.
	6:31pm Stuli: All Hail Brother Wayne!!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:30 Sure. Of course they were aware of all the - well - Hard Stuff.
	6:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ egould @6:30 More than just a little! There's a LOT of black music influence in their sound. Being from Detroit certainly exposed them to a lot.
	6:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Stuli @6:31 All hail indeed, Stuli!
	⚡ 6:35pm Jessie: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:32 Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, Coltrane et al had a heavy impact on the band!!
	6:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:32 Yeah - they aspired to the commitment, expression & release of Soul & Jazz. Hell - they were White Panthers even !
	6:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:35 And of course, Sun Ra
	6:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Boomers talking about seeing the 5 on bills with the Arkestra. I can't even.
	6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:35 Yeah, they were, but only to a certain extent. Wayne talks about that a little bit in one of the articles I posted; I can't remember which.
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:36 Seriously!
	6:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:36 Wayne said the Black Panthers thot they were clowns ! - & they were gonna get stomped out. Which of course was true.
	6:39pm Andres: ↳ Song: "I Can Only Give You Everything" by "MC5" Hi, Frank. Digging the tribute. This is becoming a fave version.
	6:39pm Prof. Gryff: Hey Frank—great show. Do you know the track “Gold”? I think it’s only on the ROIR compilation… one of my favorite ‘5 tracks, and the closest they came to “free jazz” IMO
	6:39pm John eye: Wow great MC5 set. Thanks Frank kicking it out!!!
	⚡ 6:40pm Tom P: Damn - what a great band! I knew they were good - but did not realize how good
	6:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @6:39 Thanks Andres. They do a great job with it!
	6:42pm Frank In Queens: Hey Prof! I don't think I know that one? I'll have to seek it out. Was that comp from the 90s? There are a million MC5 comps from the 90s and early 2000s, it's hard to keep track of them all. Same goes for Stooges comps from that same time.
	⚡ 6:43pm Stu Rutherford: Loving this tribute, Frank!
	6:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ John eye @6:39 Thanks John! Glad you're digging it. Joey's got a stellar tribute coming up next as well.
	6:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Prof. Gryff @6:39 Creamo Coyl played that today on SpinAge Blasters (filling in for DJ Michele).
	6:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Tom P @6:40 Yeah, just phenomenal! One of my absolute faves.
	6:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Prof. Gryff @6:39 As Creamo said - gawshdarn if 'Babes In Arms' on ROIR isn't one of the best MC5 releases,
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Stu Rutherford @6:43 Thank you Stu!
	6:46pm John eye: Very cool. Frank!!!! The world needs more MC5!!!!
	6:46pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:44 Ah, it's on Babes In Arms. One of the more popular "5" comps that I don't have. Gotta rectify that.
	6:48pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" Alright., THIS IS THE ONE!
	⚡ 6:49pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" DAMN THIS DA JAM!!!!
	6:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:46 Had the dang ROIR Cassette ! ...hope I still do... Came out on CD sometime Creamo said...
	6:50pm Frank In Queens: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:49 And the best version of it that I'm aware of, in my opinion of course....
	⚡ 6:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:49 So muck Jam I hadta open another can maaan! 🍻😎🤙💨🌻
	⚡ 6:51pm medson: Great show FIQ. Catching the last few mins in the car.
	⚡ 6:51pm Tom P: ↳ Scott_Oz @6:50 Had to do the same, Scotty!
	6:51pm Frank In Queens: ↳ medson @6:51 Thanks medson. Watch your speed, this one will make you drive fast!
	⚡ 6:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @6:50 much*
	6:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" ...recorded on gawd knows what ...however many generations later... Peter Jackson ! The MC5 need you !
	6:52pm egould: Raising a glass to Wayne Kramer. Cheers!
	⚡ 6:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Tom P @6:51 Cheers to that mate!🍻😎🤙🍺
	6:53pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:51 Could be an audience recording. Could also be way worse!
	⚡ 6:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!! Rest in Power Brother Wayne Kramer!!!
	⚡ 6:54pm Jessie: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:53 The Purity Accuracy 6 cd box set has some really great sounding live shows on it.
	6:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:53 We have it !
	⚡ 6:55pm Jessie: Great show Frank!! This could go on all night!!
	⚡ 6:55pm Chris Crash: Absolutely smoking show Frank!
	6:55pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" damn! what a track. thanks frank. great show!
	6:55pm asheville jon: Thanks Frank!
	6:55pm Prof. Gryff: Yeah, Babes in Arms. I’m away from my record collection rn! This version of Black to Comm rules, though, good show-ender!
	6:56pm egould: Thanks Frank!
	⚡ 6:56pm Tom P: Thanks Frank. I will be listening to this again on the archives very soon!
	⚡ 6:56pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, fanfuckentastic show! A happy/sad Star I hang on the whole awesome hour mate! ⭐👈😎🤙🍻💨🍹
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: There's also an early version of "Black To Comm" on that '66 Breakout comp. They were doing it even back then. Not QUITE as intense as this version, but still pretty frenetic for 1966.
	6:56pm greg g: Black to Comm!! Thanks Frank!
	6:56pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Awesome Frank!
	6:56pm listener 126464: Thank you, Frank!
	6:56pm Terry: Nice tribute FIQ. Thanks
	⚡ 6:57pm DJ Terre T: Fantastic show as ever Frank!
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: Thanks everyone! Sucks that we have to do these tributes all too frequently, but celebrating life and legacy is much more preferable than mourning death. And Hard Stuff shall continue to pay tribute to all the great acts of this era every week here on Rock And Soul Radio!
	⚡ 6:58pm Aitch: Nice work Frank!
	6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Black to Comm' apparently deriving from a notice on P.A. cabinets...
	6:58pm The Spoony: Great show, Frank! My shirt’s all wet!
	⚡ 6:58pm lothianman: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:57 Amen Frank !!
	6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:58 ...where to put which wire...
	6:58pm John eye: Thanks again Frank. Fantastic show. MC5 forever!!!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: ↳ The Spoony @6:58 Thanks Spoony! What a feeling!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: Cheers everyone. Joey is up very shortly. See you over on his page!
	6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ FIQ ~
	⚡ 7:00pm Scott_Oz: ↳ The Spoony @6:58 My jeans are!
	7:25pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank
	⚡ 11:03am getinthagroove: ↳ Song: "Ramblin' Rose" by "MC5" Truly one of the best rock show openers of all time... the spoken word is just epic.
	⚡ 11:06am getinthagroove: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:57 A valuable service you're performing. Great tribute.
	⚡ 11:19am getinthagroove: "Tonight" is such a groove. It's so impressive how killer tones Wayne gets even live, it sounds effortless. "Poison" is fiiiiiiiiiire. "Over And Over" is maybe my favorite Tyner vocal performance. I now really get the heavy Soul band that underlies the MC5. Hard and sentimental tribute to Brother Wayne.
	⚡ 11:20am getinthagroove: ↳ Song: "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" by "MC5" There's an excellent record store in Toledo, Rama Lama Records... such a cool name and song
	⚡ 11:28am getinthagroove: ↳ Scott_Oz @5:56 Happy Birthday Scott_Oz!!

Hard Stuff with Frank in Queens: Playlist from February 6, 2024

View Frank In Queens's profile

The sound of the 60s becoming the 70s...and beyond! Late-era garage and early hard rock, with a pinch of more "modern" sounds thrown in for flavor. Fuzz, frets, riffage, and wattage. Let your hair down on WFMU's Rock And Soul Radio and get a taste of the "Hard Stuff".

	⚡ 6:16pm Aitch: ↳ egould @6:12 Radio Birdman about to do final tour, playing at my kid's College bar, saw them pre-Covid and they were still great
	6:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: True Testimonial wigkey : en.wikipedia.org... ...I think there was also some objection to how certain band members were represented in the film - especially in the post-band years, iirc. Almost wonder if Kramer's stated objections were cover for those. All speculation...
	6:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:16 Hi Will!
	⚡ 6:17pm Christina Ginger: ↳ Terry @6:14 Hi Terry!
	⚡ 6:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: I hope you're having a blast Scotty!!!
	6:18pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Aitch @6:16 I saw. One of my biggest regrets was not doing everything possible to see them when they came around about 15 years ago or so. What the fuck was i thinking?! I've seen Dennis Tek though, so there's that at least.
	⚡ 6:19pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Scott_Oz @5:56 Happy Birthday in 'Merica Scott_Oz! U get 2 days -Twice as much beer !

	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Just Don't Know" by "MC5" When you consider TheWho's 1st Album was out only Dec.'65 - BlueCheer if they existed weren't a trio yet - the Velvet's wouldn't have one out til '67 - TheStooges hadn't debuted @ all...
	⚡ 6:25pm medson: I love how they got booted from Elektra.
	6:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:24 - & it sounds like that...
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I Just Don't Know" by "MC5" ...maybe The PrettyThings might've sounded like that in '66 ...if their amps were bigger :D ...
	6:29pm Terry: ↳ Christina Ginger @6:17 Hey CG
	6:30pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:25 That’s just American aggression, Midwestern desperation, and hard drugs. And a little Detroit soul.
	6:30pm Stuli: E=MC5!!
	6:30pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:28 They were definitely taking cues from the British bands. You can hear it in the early material. That '66 Breakout comp reveals a lot.
	6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @6:30 It sure is.
	6:31pm Stuli: All Hail Brother Wayne!!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:30 Sure. Of course they were aware of all the - well - Hard Stuff.
	6:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ egould @6:30 More than just a little! There's a LOT of black music influence in their sound. Being from Detroit certainly exposed them to a lot.
	6:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Stuli @6:31 All hail indeed, Stuli!
	⚡ 6:35pm Jessie: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:32 Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, Coltrane et al had a heavy impact on the band!!
	6:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:32 Yeah - they aspired to the commitment, expression & release of Soul & Jazz. Hell - they were White Panthers even !
	6:35pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Jessie @6:35 And of course, Sun Ra
	6:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Boomers talking about seeing the 5 on bills with the Arkestra. I can't even.
	6:36pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:35 Yeah, they were, but only to a certain extent. Wayne talks about that a little bit in one of the articles I posted; I can't remember which.
	6:37pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:36 Seriously!
	6:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:36 Wayne said the Black Panthers thot they were clowns ! - & they were gonna get stomped out. Which of course was true.
	6:39pm Andres: ↳ Song: "I Can Only Give You Everything" by "MC5" Hi, Frank. Digging the tribute. This is becoming a fave version.
	6:39pm Prof. Gryff: Hey Frank—great show. Do you know the track “Gold”? I think it’s only on the ROIR compilation… one of my favorite ‘5 tracks, and the closest they came to “free jazz” IMO
	6:39pm John eye: Wow great MC5 set. Thanks Frank kicking it out!!!
	⚡ 6:40pm Tom P: Damn - what a great band! I knew they were good - but did not realize how good
	6:41pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Andres @6:39 Thanks Andres. They do a great job with it!
	6:42pm Frank In Queens: Hey Prof! I don't think I know that one? I'll have to seek it out. Was that comp from the 90s? There are a million MC5 comps from the 90s and early 2000s, it's hard to keep track of them all. Same goes for Stooges comps from that same time.
	⚡ 6:43pm Stu Rutherford: Loving this tribute, Frank!
	6:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ John eye @6:39 Thanks John! Glad you're digging it. Joey's got a stellar tribute coming up next as well.
	6:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Prof. Gryff @6:39 Creamo Coyl played that today on SpinAge Blasters (filling in for DJ Michele).
	6:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Tom P @6:40 Yeah, just phenomenal! One of my absolute faves.
	6:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Prof. Gryff @6:39 As Creamo said - gawshdarn if 'Babes In Arms' on ROIR isn't one of the best MC5 releases,
	6:45pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Stu Rutherford @6:43 Thank you Stu!
	6:46pm John eye: Very cool. Frank!!!! The world needs more MC5!!!!
	6:46pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:44 Ah, it's on Babes In Arms. One of the more popular "5" comps that I don't have. Gotta rectify that.
	6:48pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" Alright., THIS IS THE ONE!
	⚡ 6:49pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" DAMN THIS DA JAM!!!!
	6:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:46 Had the dang ROIR Cassette ! ...hope I still do... Came out on CD sometime Creamo said...
	6:50pm Frank In Queens: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:49 And the best version of it that I'm aware of, in my opinion of course....
	⚡ 6:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Terre T @6:49 So muck Jam I hadta open another can maaan! 🍻😎🤙💨🌻

	6:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Black to Comm" by "MC5" ...recorded on gawd knows what ...however many generations later... Peter Jackson ! The MC5 need you !
	6:52pm egould: Raising a glass to Wayne Kramer. Cheers!
	⚡ 6:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Tom P @6:51 Cheers to that mate!🍻😎🤙🍺
	6:53pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:51 Could be an audience recording. Could also be way worse!
	⚡ 6:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Frank!!! Rest in Power Brother Wayne Kramer!!!
	⚡ 6:54pm Jessie: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:53 The Purity Accuracy 6 cd box set has some really great sounding live shows on it.

	⚡ 6:56pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Frank, fanfuckentastic show! A happy/sad Star I hang on the whole awesome hour mate! ⭐👈😎🤙🍻💨🍹
	6:56pm Frank In Queens: There's also an early version of "Black To Comm" on that '66 Breakout comp. They were doing it even back then. Not QUITE as intense as this version, but still pretty frenetic for 1966.
	6:56pm greg g: Black to Comm!! Thanks Frank!
	6:56pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Awesome Frank!
	6:56pm listener 126464: Thank you, Frank!
	6:56pm Terry: Nice tribute FIQ. Thanks
	⚡ 6:57pm DJ Terre T: Fantastic show as ever Frank!
	6:57pm Frank In Queens: Thanks everyone! Sucks that we have to do these tributes all too frequently, but celebrating life and legacy is much more preferable than mourning death. And Hard Stuff shall continue to pay tribute to all the great acts of this era every week here on Rock And Soul Radio!
	⚡ 6:58pm Aitch: Nice work Frank!
	6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Black to Comm' apparently deriving from a notice on P.A. cabinets...
	6:58pm The Spoony: Great show, Frank! My shirt’s all wet!
	⚡ 6:58pm lothianman: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:57 Amen Frank !!
	6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @6:58 ...where to put which wire...
	6:58pm John eye: Thanks again Frank. Fantastic show. MC5 forever!!!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: ↳ The Spoony @6:58 Thanks Spoony! What a feeling!
	6:59pm Frank In Queens: Cheers everyone. Joey is up very shortly. See you over on his page!
	6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ FIQ ~
	⚡ 7:00pm Scott_Oz: ↳ The Spoony @6:58 My jeans are!
	7:25pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Frank
	⚡ 11:03am getinthagroove: ↳ Song: "Ramblin' Rose" by "MC5" Truly one of the best rock show openers of all time... the spoken word is just epic.
	⚡ 11:06am getinthagroove: ↳ Frank In Queens @6:57 A valuable service you're performing. Great tribute.
	⚡ 11:19am getinthagroove: "Tonight" is such a groove. It's so impressive how killer tones Wayne gets even live, it sounds effortless. "Poison" is fiiiiiiiiiire. "Over And Over" is maybe my favorite Tyner vocal performance. I now really get the heavy Soul band that underlies the MC5. Hard and sentimental tribute to Brother Wayne.
	⚡ 11:20am getinthagroove: ↳ Song: "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" by "MC5" There's an excellent record store in Toledo, Rama Lama Records... such a cool name and song
	⚡ 11:28am getinthagroove: ↳ Scott_Oz @5:56 Happy Birthday Scott_Oz!!
