Listener comments!
	🥁 11:59am WR: Hello Tony and folks. I just looked up and 1974 was when I bought a Fafisa organ and made an effort to make interesting pop music. I didn't last long at that but the organ still stored in my brother's garage.
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: Heya, WR!
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: Good afternoon, Tony, and all other listeners!
	🥁 12:03pm Yvang: Hi Tony and forks! Looking forward to hearing the 1974 selection. And intrigued about the 15 minutes extra time!
	12:03pm Glistener MW: I didn't exist yet, but eager to time-travel for the next 3 hours! ...3 hours and 15 MINUTES?!?? how mysterious!
	12:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:03 Hiya, Yvang!
	12:04pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, heya, hello, Andrew, Yvang, and Glistener MW!!!
	🥁 12:04pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:03 Hi Andrew!

	12:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:04 E.A Poe have great twiddly bits!
	12:05pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:03 Re the extra 15 minutes: Julie won't be in today, so I figured I'd let myself spill over a bit, to pack in more 1974.
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @12:04 Greetings, Andres!
	12:07pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Considerazioni" by "E.A Poe" nice and fuzzy. was just talking the othe day about how surprising it is there is an NFL football team (Baltimore Ravens) named after a Poe story and a statue of him at the stadium. hey DJ TC and all
	🥁 12:08pm listener james from westwood: Big 1974 greetings, Tony and all!

	12:11pm Tony Coulter: Hamster Henry! Hiya!
	12:12pm Tony Coulter: A few of the groups we'll be hearing today are still around -- including Magma.
	🥁 12:13pm egould: Hi Tony! Ah yes, I remember 1974. My favorite things were playing tag in the pine stand next to my grade school at recess, and plucking and eating blackberries that grew in our apartment complex. My least favorite thing was severely spraining my ankle in a gopher hole at Duke Gardens.
	12:14pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, egould!
	🥁 12:17pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:12 Christian Vander is still a young man : he’s not even 80 yet!
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: Ha! I saw Magma here in Portland not too long ago and he was drumming away like a demon.

	12:26pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Andrew!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:26 They`re playing in December.
	12:30pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Bitter-Sweet" by "Roxy Music" Used to flip past this in the thrift bins because all I knew was Avalon. Learning these past few years what I’d missed out on.
	12:31pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @12:30 The first four Roxy Music albums are classics.
	12:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Baron Samedi" by "Nemo" Sounds very hippy-SF, Dead/Allmans (if I can mix it all together). Nice track!
	12:33pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Baron Samedi" by "Nemo" this is a cool prog sound. nice flow and i dig the instruments. bits of that solo before sounded a little allman brothers-y to me ?
	12:33pm zzz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:32 YES docjazz!
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:21 Hi Andrew!
	12:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ zzz @12:33 Yes, ZZZ! ;- )
	12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:31 1974 just keeps giving and giving. Excellent!
	🥁 12:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "Circulus Vitiosus" by "Heldon" Liking. New to me. Has been reissued a few times including currently on their own Bandcampheldon.bandcamp.com...
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: Ah, nice to see that Heldon has a Bandcamp page!
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: Richard Pinhas (the leader of Heldon) performed live on FMU back in 2010.
	12:44pm Dane: Hey Tony is that another Warhol image? :)
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Dane! Don't know where that image came from -- just nicked it without looking too hard.
	🥁 12:47pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:45 Edge image search finds the 1974 image on Adobe site for stock images.
	12:48pm Dane: The first Can record I heard, still think it's one of the best. I like short songs.
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:47 Yeah, that's where I got it -- but I don't know who created it.
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: Some anonymous drone, perhaps.
	12:50pm zzz: ↳ Song: "The Empress and the Ukraine King" by "Can" very groovy!
	🥁 12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: holy dang, excellent theme for the show. Already you've plundered my LP collection.
	🥁 12:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. hello.
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, Turnip!
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: By the by, some of the members of the Albert Marcoeur band were also in Nemo (see above).
	12:54pm Andrew in Toronto: John Peel is smiling.
	1:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Last Plimsoll" by "Stackridge" new to me and digdug!
	1:06pm Dane: Promo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oarfAYDpRJs
	🥁 1:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" One of my favorites for 1974 for sure. I saw the Brian Eno doc recently in a theater. Liked it.
	1:06pm zzz: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" i think taking tiger mountain is my favorite of the eno "pop" albums
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dane @1:06 Yes! That video is amazing.
	1:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dane @1:06 Thanks for the link, Dane.
	1:09pm Andres: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" Other side of the coin with Roxy Music or whole other currency?
	1:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Tony! and hello to all
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:10 hiya, spodi!
	1:12pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, spodi!
	1:12pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @1:09 The two coins overlap a bit, methinks.
	1:14pm Dane: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:07 Kinda disappointing they didn't play on a typewriter during the middle section though.
	1:14pm spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	1:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ zzz @1:06 That's a fun album.
	1:29pm Dane: ↳ Song: "Manic Detective" by "OHO" USA represent! haha
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: Ha! I know -- the USA is mostly missing from what I picked out for today.
	🥁 1:36pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:30 USA was stuck in Vietnam in 1974
	1:37pm Dane: Meet the Residents, maybe?
	1:38pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dane @1:37 Yep! That's coming up later.
	1:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Good day all! Enjoying the music of my misspent youth, Tony
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: KevinfromBayRidge! There's a name I haven't seen in a long time. Good to have you here.
	1:44pm wimpy: This has been a great show so far! The archive will definitely be sitting around on my phone for a while
	🥁 1:44pm egould: Thanks Tony! I have to go put on my game face for a meeting at 11:00AM. Will try to tune in after, but ya' know... meeting.
	1:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @1:44 Hi, Wimpy! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	1:45pm Tony Coulter: ↳ egould @1:44 See you, egould. Go look serious....
	1:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: I can't recall how much of what you're featuring today was actually played on NY commercial freeform( WPLJ, WNEW) back then. Of course, Roxy and Eno.
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:49 Maybe Gentle Giant and Stackridge got some airplay too?
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: And Jade Warrior too.
	1:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:51 Definitely Gentle Giant. Wish that there were playlist from Scelsa, Herman etal.
	🥁 1:55pm David (in London): Hello Tony and assembled Coultards. Damn, late in. Must be September 1974 by now.
	1:55pm Mike Sin: Enjoying this show quite a lot! Have it cranked up.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:54 Don't forget Alison Steele.
	1:56pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:55 Afternoon, David. You will want to hear the show from the beginning.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:55 Hey, David! Don't worry: we're in the middle of Indian Summer.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mike Sin @1:55 Mike! Great to have you here!
	🥁 1:57pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:56 Hey Andrew!
	1:58pm luka: hi!
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: Hey, luka!
	🥁 1:59pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @1:56 You played Comus, too! Hurrah! I got to know Bobby quite well, she is such a lovely person. They don't get played nearly enough. Weird proto Goth folk - what's not to like?!
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:59 Their second album (the one I played) needs more love.
	2:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:56 Nevah! Met her at a WTC event in the mid90s. As beautiful and charming as her radio persona.
	2:02pm ?: Enjoying the show. I was 6 yrs old in 74 & parents were not cool enough to listen to anything like this. More like Gilbert & Sullivan lol
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ @2:02 Hi there! Gilbert & Sullivan isn't bad for a 6 year old. At that age, I was probably listening to "Tubby the Tuba."
	2:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:04 I was totally into Diver Dan around 5-6ish
	2:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:04 Not that my parents were playing Tubby the Tuba, but, you know what I mean.
	🥁 2:07pm David (in London): 'Get Down' by Gilbert O'Sullivan remains a classic I reckon.
	2:11pm ?: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:07 Yup, I think my personal fave around then was MahNahMahNah
	🥁 2:12pm David (in London): ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @2:06 Kevin, courtesy of the internet, I think you've just got me into Diver Dan.
	🥁 2:14pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Arlecchinata" by "Pierrot Lunaire" Think this lot are on the Nurse With Wound list if memory serves.
	2:14pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, pot80!
	2:15pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:14 indeed! in fact the last 3 tracks were all nww list artists
	🥁 2:18pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:15 I remember working my way through the list many years ago, but I've forgotten plenty of them now. Not sure I really need Secret Oyster in my life now, but others have definitely endured. Also: hello!
	2:19pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 been trying to get an album from every artist on vinyl for a while now, currently only about 5% of the way there
	🥁 2:20pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Fin Janvier" by "Mahjun" This lot were on there, too, as I recall. And Magical Power Mako. SS certainly had his finger on the pulse. All that roadie-ing I guess.
	🥁 2:21pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:19 Wow, good on you. That can't be a cheap undertaking. I did it digitally in the heyday of the blogs like Mutant Sounds and Cities on Flame with Rock & Roll (RIP Dirk). I will cheer you on from the sidelines.
	2:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:07 Here`s his Discogs page: www.discogs.com...
	2:22pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:21 fortunately they've reissued a lot of these albums, but a lot of the time the reissues are only slightly less expensive than the original copies
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:22 Thanks, Andrew!
	2:24pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ David (in London) @2:12 Glad to be of assistance! I'll wait till my second childhood kicks in.
	🥁 2:24pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:22 Yeah, when you see how much vinyl sells for now, one can see why the music industry has got so much behind the vinyl reivival.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: Well, originals of a couple of today's featured records can still be gotten for cheap (e.g., Neutrons, Stackridge, Jade Warrior).
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Cheap as in under ten dollars.
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: I can never get over the fact that Richard Branson is responsible for bringing the world Henry Cow.
	2:36pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:34 Love me some Henry Cow.
	🥁 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:34 Haha, a classic case of 'even a stopped clock is right twice a day'.
	🥁 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 Hey Peter!
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 Hiya, Peter!
	🥁 2:38pm David (in London): ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 I saw one of their 2014 reformation shows. They were fantastic, but ludicrously under-rehearsed. Cutler was visibly getting angry about it - they had to start one song three times before they got it right.
	🥁 2:39pm WR: ↳ David (in London) @2:38 Hah!
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Rest Aria" by "The Residents" I always thought this was a lovely passage in a very peculiar album.
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: Rich! Hey hey hello!
	🥁 2:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Last Straw" by "Robert Wyatt" Gawd, this was a blessing to hear 1974, that Wyatt was truly active again.
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @2:39 hazeyas everybodies!
	2:47pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @2:46 ngh!
	2:49pm wimpy: oh hey ive been listening to that new aksak maboul album because of last weeks show and yeah its pretty good. probably wouldnt have gotten around to it if not for this show, so thanks!
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @2:49 That's nice to hear. Glad I was able to point your ears to something.
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: Another thing I can never get over is that Egg's drummer (Clive Brooks) was also the drummer for the Groundhogs .
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Wring Out the Ground Loosely Now" by "Egg" i haz this album!
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Wring Out the Ground Loosely Now" by "Egg" also not to be confused w/ the 2000s quebecois minimal tehno/ambient egg...
	🥁 2:53pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:52 Being in the mighty Groundhogs gives you 10,000 bonus points.
	2:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What an exceptional show! Thanks, Tony!
	2:54pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @2:47 en espanol papas!
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:53 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, Andrew!
	2:55pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ David (in London) @2:36 Hey David!
	2:56pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:37 First time tuning in to your show. Won't be the last.
	2:56pm northguineahills: danks, tony!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Tony!
	🥁 2:57pm David (in London): Thank you Tony, another classic Coulter set today - outstanding. Your 'theme shows' are the best.
	2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks, Tony. Really great shew!
	2:58pm rw: Only caught the last 20 min. Bummed I wasn’t able to catch from the beginning. Sounded like a cool show! Thank you Tony!
	2:58pm pot8o: thanks tony! have a great week everyone!
	2:58pm rw: Looking forward to 1975
	🥁 2:59pm WR: Thank you! Toney! Lovely Hatfield & the North choice!
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: ↳ rw @2:58 Hey, rw! You'll have to wait a year for 1975. However, it'll be 1984 in two weeks.
	3:00pm rw: Ah. Decades! Of course.
	🥁 3:01pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:59 My, how time flew.
	🥁 3:01pm Yvang: Here's a wonderful video of Catherine Ribeiro and Alpes playing outside of a farm(?). We can see the weird instruments they were playing. www.youtube.com...
	3:03pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:59 Actually, it'll be 1984 in THREE weeks (sorry!)
	3:04pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:03 Remember when it took 10 years for a decade to go by?
	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ rw @3:04 And 1984 will only last 7 hours.
	3:05pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @3:01 Thanks, Yvang! Will have to watch that Ribeiro vid post-show.
	3:07pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to whoever just pledged (I can't see who you are).
	3:09pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:07 That was me. Thanks for doing this thing every week.
	3:09pm Tony Coulter: Aha! Thanks much, rw!!
	3:12pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone! Hope you'll drop by again next week....
	3:12pm Rich in Washington: Thanks Tony!
	3:12pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony!
	🥁 3:13pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Tony!
	🥁 3:13pm Yvang: A thousand and nine hundred seventy four thanks Tony!
	🥁 4:26am Morris 33rpm: Thanks Tony, one of my favorite WFMU shows. This episode is nice for me, too: I was born in 1974.

	🥁 12:13pm egould: Hi Tony! Ah yes, I remember 1974. My favorite things were playing tag in the pine stand next to my grade school at recess, and plucking and eating blackberries that grew in our apartment complex. My least favorite thing was severely spraining my ankle in a gopher hole at Duke Gardens.
	12:14pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, egould!
	🥁 12:17pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:12 Christian Vander is still a young man : he’s not even 80 yet!
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: Ha! I saw Magma here in Portland not too long ago and he was drumming away like a demon.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony, Streamers!
	12:20pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Dr. J!
	12:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:19 Hi, doc!
	12:21pm northguineahills: tony! coulterites!
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, NGH!
	12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:20 Here`s the Magma website: www.magmamusic.org...
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Andrew!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:26 They`re playing in December.
	12:30pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Bitter-Sweet" by "Roxy Music" Used to flip past this in the thrift bins because all I knew was Avalon. Learning these past few years what I’d missed out on.
	12:31pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @12:30 The first four Roxy Music albums are classics.
	12:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Baron Samedi" by "Nemo" Sounds very hippy-SF, Dead/Allmans (if I can mix it all together). Nice track!
	12:33pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Baron Samedi" by "Nemo" this is a cool prog sound. nice flow and i dig the instruments. bits of that solo before sounded a little allman brothers-y to me ?
	12:33pm zzz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:32 YES docjazz!
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:21 Hi Andrew!
	12:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ zzz @12:33 Yes, ZZZ! ;- )
	12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:31 1974 just keeps giving and giving. Excellent!
	🥁 12:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "Circulus Vitiosus" by "Heldon" Liking. New to me. Has been reissued a few times including currently on their own Bandcampheldon.bandcamp.com...
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: Ah, nice to see that Heldon has a Bandcamp page!
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: Richard Pinhas (the leader of Heldon) performed live on FMU back in 2010.
	12:44pm Dane: Hey Tony is that another Warhol image? :)
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Dane! Don't know where that image came from -- just nicked it without looking too hard.
	🥁 12:47pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:45 Edge image search finds the 1974 image on Adobe site for stock images.
	12:48pm Dane: The first Can record I heard, still think it's one of the best. I like short songs.
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:47 Yeah, that's where I got it -- but I don't know who created it.
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: Some anonymous drone, perhaps.
	12:50pm zzz: ↳ Song: "The Empress and the Ukraine King" by "Can" very groovy!
	🥁 12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: holy dang, excellent theme for the show. Already you've plundered my LP collection.
	🥁 12:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. hello.
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, Turnip!
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: By the by, some of the members of the Albert Marcoeur band were also in Nemo (see above).
	12:54pm Andrew in Toronto: John Peel is smiling.
	1:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Last Plimsoll" by "Stackridge" new to me and digdug!
	1:06pm Dane: Promo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oarfAYDpRJs
	🥁 1:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" One of my favorites for 1974 for sure. I saw the Brian Eno doc recently in a theater. Liked it.
	1:06pm zzz: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" i think taking tiger mountain is my favorite of the eno "pop" albums
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dane @1:06 Yes! That video is amazing.
	1:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dane @1:06 Thanks for the link, Dane.
	1:09pm Andres: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Brian Eno" Other side of the coin with Roxy Music or whole other currency?
	1:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Tony! and hello to all
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:10 hiya, spodi!
	1:12pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, spodi!
	1:12pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @1:09 The two coins overlap a bit, methinks.
	1:14pm Dane: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:07 Kinda disappointing they didn't play on a typewriter during the middle section though.
	1:14pm spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	1:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ zzz @1:06 That's a fun album.
	1:29pm Dane: ↳ Song: "Manic Detective" by "OHO" USA represent! haha
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: Ha! I know -- the USA is mostly missing from what I picked out for today.
	🥁 1:36pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:30 USA was stuck in Vietnam in 1974
	1:37pm Dane: Meet the Residents, maybe?
	1:38pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dane @1:37 Yep! That's coming up later.
	1:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Good day all! Enjoying the music of my misspent youth, Tony
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: KevinfromBayRidge! There's a name I haven't seen in a long time. Good to have you here.
	1:44pm wimpy: This has been a great show so far! The archive will definitely be sitting around on my phone for a while
	🥁 1:44pm egould: Thanks Tony! I have to go put on my game face for a meeting at 11:00AM. Will try to tune in after, but ya' know... meeting.
	1:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @1:44 Hi, Wimpy! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	1:45pm Tony Coulter: ↳ egould @1:44 See you, egould. Go look serious....
	1:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: I can't recall how much of what you're featuring today was actually played on NY commercial freeform( WPLJ, WNEW) back then. Of course, Roxy and Eno.
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:49 Maybe Gentle Giant and Stackridge got some airplay too?
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: And Jade Warrior too.
	1:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:51 Definitely Gentle Giant. Wish that there were playlist from Scelsa, Herman etal.
	🥁 1:55pm David (in London): Hello Tony and assembled Coultards. Damn, late in. Must be September 1974 by now.
	1:55pm Mike Sin: Enjoying this show quite a lot! Have it cranked up.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:54 Don't forget Alison Steele.
	1:56pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:55 Afternoon, David. You will want to hear the show from the beginning.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:55 Hey, David! Don't worry: we're in the middle of Indian Summer.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mike Sin @1:55 Mike! Great to have you here!
	🥁 1:57pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:56 Hey Andrew!
	1:58pm luka: hi!
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: Hey, luka!
	🥁 1:59pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @1:56 You played Comus, too! Hurrah! I got to know Bobby quite well, she is such a lovely person. They don't get played nearly enough. Weird proto Goth folk - what's not to like?!
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @1:59 Their second album (the one I played) needs more love.
	2:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:56 Nevah! Met her at a WTC event in the mid90s. As beautiful and charming as her radio persona.
	2:02pm ?: Enjoying the show. I was 6 yrs old in 74 & parents were not cool enough to listen to anything like this. More like Gilbert & Sullivan lol
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ @2:02 Hi there! Gilbert & Sullivan isn't bad for a 6 year old. At that age, I was probably listening to "Tubby the Tuba."
	2:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:04 I was totally into Diver Dan around 5-6ish
	2:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:04 Not that my parents were playing Tubby the Tuba, but, you know what I mean.
	🥁 2:07pm David (in London): 'Get Down' by Gilbert O'Sullivan remains a classic I reckon.
	2:11pm ?: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:07 Yup, I think my personal fave around then was MahNahMahNah
	🥁 2:12pm David (in London): ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @2:06 Kevin, courtesy of the internet, I think you've just got me into Diver Dan.
	🥁 2:14pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Arlecchinata" by "Pierrot Lunaire" Think this lot are on the Nurse With Wound list if memory serves.
	2:14pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, pot80!
	2:15pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:14 indeed! in fact the last 3 tracks were all nww list artists
	🥁 2:18pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:15 I remember working my way through the list many years ago, but I've forgotten plenty of them now. Not sure I really need Secret Oyster in my life now, but others have definitely endured. Also: hello!
	2:19pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 been trying to get an album from every artist on vinyl for a while now, currently only about 5% of the way there
	🥁 2:20pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Fin Janvier" by "Mahjun" This lot were on there, too, as I recall. And Magical Power Mako. SS certainly had his finger on the pulse. All that roadie-ing I guess.
	🥁 2:21pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:19 Wow, good on you. That can't be a cheap undertaking. I did it digitally in the heyday of the blogs like Mutant Sounds and Cities on Flame with Rock & Roll (RIP Dirk). I will cheer you on from the sidelines.
	2:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:07 Here`s his Discogs page: www.discogs.com...
	2:22pm pot8o: ↳ David (in London) @2:21 fortunately they've reissued a lot of these albums, but a lot of the time the reissues are only slightly less expensive than the original copies
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:22 Thanks, Andrew!
	2:24pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ David (in London) @2:12 Glad to be of assistance! I'll wait till my second childhood kicks in.
	🥁 2:24pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @2:22 Yeah, when you see how much vinyl sells for now, one can see why the music industry has got so much behind the vinyl reivival.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: Well, originals of a couple of today's featured records can still be gotten for cheap (e.g., Neutrons, Stackridge, Jade Warrior).
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Cheap as in under ten dollars.
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: I can never get over the fact that Richard Branson is responsible for bringing the world Henry Cow.
	2:36pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:34 Love me some Henry Cow.
	🥁 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:34 Haha, a classic case of 'even a stopped clock is right twice a day'.
	🥁 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 Hey Peter!
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 Hiya, Peter!
	🥁 2:38pm David (in London): ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @2:36 I saw one of their 2014 reformation shows. They were fantastic, but ludicrously under-rehearsed. Cutler was visibly getting angry about it - they had to start one song three times before they got it right.
	🥁 2:39pm WR: ↳ David (in London) @2:38 Hah!
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Rest Aria" by "The Residents" I always thought this was a lovely passage in a very peculiar album.
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: Rich! Hey hey hello!
	🥁 2:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Last Straw" by "Robert Wyatt" Gawd, this was a blessing to hear 1974, that Wyatt was truly active again.
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @2:39 hazeyas everybodies!
	2:47pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @2:46 ngh!
	2:49pm wimpy: oh hey ive been listening to that new aksak maboul album because of last weeks show and yeah its pretty good. probably wouldnt have gotten around to it if not for this show, so thanks!
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @2:49 That's nice to hear. Glad I was able to point your ears to something.
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: Another thing I can never get over is that Egg's drummer (Clive Brooks) was also the drummer for the Groundhogs .
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Wring Out the Ground Loosely Now" by "Egg" i haz this album!
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Wring Out the Ground Loosely Now" by "Egg" also not to be confused w/ the 2000s quebecois minimal tehno/ambient egg...
	🥁 2:53pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:52 Being in the mighty Groundhogs gives you 10,000 bonus points.
	2:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What an exceptional show! Thanks, Tony!
	2:54pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @2:47 en espanol papas!
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:53 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, Andrew!
	2:55pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ David (in London) @2:36 Hey David!
	2:56pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:37 First time tuning in to your show. Won't be the last.
	2:56pm northguineahills: danks, tony!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Tony!
	🥁 2:57pm David (in London): Thank you Tony, another classic Coulter set today - outstanding. Your 'theme shows' are the best.
	2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks, Tony. Really great shew!
	2:58pm rw: Only caught the last 20 min. Bummed I wasn’t able to catch from the beginning. Sounded like a cool show! Thank you Tony!
	2:58pm pot8o: thanks tony! have a great week everyone!
	2:58pm rw: Looking forward to 1975
	🥁 2:59pm WR: Thank you! Toney! Lovely Hatfield & the North choice!
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: ↳ rw @2:58 Hey, rw! You'll have to wait a year for 1975. However, it'll be 1984 in two weeks.
	3:00pm rw: Ah. Decades! Of course.
	🥁 3:01pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:59 My, how time flew.
	🥁 3:01pm Yvang: Here's a wonderful video of Catherine Ribeiro and Alpes playing outside of a farm(?). We can see the weird instruments they were playing. www.youtube.com...
	3:03pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:59 Actually, it'll be 1984 in THREE weeks (sorry!)
	3:04pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:03 Remember when it took 10 years for a decade to go by?
	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ rw @3:04 And 1984 will only last 7 hours.
	3:05pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @3:01 Thanks, Yvang! Will have to watch that Ribeiro vid post-show.
	3:07pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to whoever just pledged (I can't see who you are).
	3:09pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:07 That was me. Thanks for doing this thing every week.
	3:09pm Tony Coulter: Aha! Thanks much, rw!!
	3:12pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone! Hope you'll drop by again next week....
	3:12pm Rich in Washington: Thanks Tony!
	3:12pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony!
	🥁 3:13pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Tony!
	🥁 3:13pm Yvang: A thousand and nine hundred seventy four thanks Tony!
	🥁 4:26am Morris 33rpm: Thanks Tony, one of my favorite WFMU shows. This episode is nice for me, too: I was born in 1974.
