WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from March 2, 2025

Listener comments!
	🕰 ♥ 6:00pm adamdoesit: Clocking in, with Who, But DJ Peter and Horologists?
	♥ 6:01pm WR: Is rabbit dental covered under current policies? Asking for a friend.
	🕰 ♥ 6:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	6:03pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @6:02 papas!
	6:04pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @6:01 WR!
	🕰 ♥ 6:04pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @6:03 ngh!
	♥ 6:05pm DJ Peter: rabbits are very fine, you know not everyone knows, but rabbits... Hares are underrecognized. Where are the hares! Used to love a good hare. But to answer your question: the rabbits don't show enough gratitude. So no. Sigh. Good to see y'all, WR, adamdoesit, pot8o, northguineahills!
	🕰 ♥ 6:06pm adamdoesit: Here's a question: what do we mean when we say "process," as in a generally unpleasant or perhaps traumatic event?
	♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 that's an excellent question and I suspect the answer is "i'm overwhelmed but if I say i'm processing maybe adamdoesit will move on to another topic"
	♥ 6:07pm San Pedro Girl: Hello DJ Peter, and all!
	♥ 6:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:07 Hahaha!
	♥ 6:09pm DJ Peter: Hi San Pedro Girl! How are you processing?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm Listener Gregory: Hello? An app on my phone says this is Lady Chanticleer, but I wonder. (Don't ask which app; not the station's.)
	♥ 6:10pm luka: good evening
	6:10pm northguineahills: going to attempt a walk. it's 15F outside, and icey AF. be back!
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 I never say that, because I can't answer your question.
	♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: Hi Listener Gregory. You should know by now to trust your ears, not your app. Luka! Good eve!
	6:12pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @6:05 lt's the buns you know.....
	♥ 6:13pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:09 Thanks for asking. I am struggling, trying not to implode. Grief is not avoidable. There is no way to deny that we are indeed experiencing collapse on many levels.
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:07 Sorry, Peter. It's been on my mind. When you're a therapist, it's one of those words that people use as though its meaning were self-evident and… it's not. Me? I'm deep in the weeds of WTAF, so I won't press the point. San Pedro Girl, I'd ask if you're ok, but that sounds like a resounding no, which honestly is a fine and rational response. Right there with you.
	♥ 6:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ San Pedro Girl @6:13 maybe "grieving" is a good answer to adamdoesit's question No shade meant, adamdoesit. If I were a a therapist, that's a question i'd aks too!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm Little Danny: hello!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Hello DJ Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:15 Grieving. That rings for me, Peter. Thanks.
	6:18pm Kevin the Painter: Hola DJ Peter! First time listener from STL MO. Digging it so far
	♥ 6:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:05 Sorry to say, rabbits are NOT doing so well. Virus has been a big problem, reducing wild population significantly. This means less food for coyotes who now must find other food, domestic pets for example.
	♥ 6:18pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ Kevin the Painter @6:18 Welcome aboard Kevin the Painter
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Feet Music" by "Matt Wilson" I heard this song in a used record store yesterday but from the Spy Vs Spy album of the 80s: John Zorn and Tim Berne in a tribute to Ornette that managed to sound like heavy metal without any guitars or electronics.
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:20 I saw the Spy vs Spy band at the original Knitting Factory, great band!
	♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Kevin the Painter @6:18 Kevin the Painter welcome! So glad you said hello!
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm doctorjazz: And hi, DJ Peter, Clock Watchers!
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:20 I am planning my revenge, @doctorj... it will be so sweet.
	♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:20 of course you did! Hello doctor! And hello Ivan!
	♥ 6:22pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ adamdoesit @6:14 Anyone, and I know a few, not rattled or upset, is either already dead, in a coma, or in some kind of delusional state of blissful ignorance that I can’t seem to achieve. I’ve tried.
	🕰 ♥ 6:23pm Little Danny: wonderful... chico's grandson huh?
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm doctorjazz: The space between Stork and The Laughing Clock is actually not a bad thing-I was able to get some stuff done (which I hadn't been able to manage from 9 AM until the end of Stork's show...
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm adamdoesit: ↳ San Pedro Girl @6:22 There's a lot of voluntary deadness going around. It's less painful than thinking, feeling, living. Melt All the Guns t(w)o The Eternal Good Trouble for These Streets. Where's tom tom?
	♥ 6:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @6:23 Yes indeed! But i struck out while trying to clarify his relationship to Arturo O'Farrill (son? or nephew?)
	♥ 6:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 it means annalizing and learning how to respond to it.
	♥ 6:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:24 hopefully out celebrating his birthday. Hey coelacanthø!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:25 Fair. Thanks, cøel.
	♥ 6:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:25 (which i just decided. i've never used that term in that context and never thought about it much)
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 son! according to his bio just now
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Late June" by "Adam O'Farrill" Arturo O'Farrill's son as well. Saw Adam a couple of times (once, to my amazement, at a local summer "jazz fest" in my town, as a side man for I don't remember whom. I didn't know who he was before they announced the band, but he jumped out.
	♥ 6:27pm DJ Peter: ah, thanks for the genealogical research. Now, can anyone tell me what Ellington's theme was before "Take the A Train"?
	🕰 ♥ 6:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Late June" by "Adam O'Farrill" It took me a while to realize that Adam O'Farrill was the trumpeter on all the albums of the downtown and Brooklyn crowd. I heard him live once in ... Anna Webber's group? Very good.
	🕰 ♥ 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:27 East St. Louis Etc.? Reminiscing in Tempo? Thanks for the Memories?
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:28 iirc East St. Louis Toodle-oo is correct.
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:28 I think you were right the first time Iast St Louis Tood-loo
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:29 I confuse Ellington with Bob Hope all the time.
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" by "Eddie "Lockjaw" D... Start of our Ellington tribute?
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Little Danny: i like these "cookbook" lps, nice club-smoky vibe
	♥ 6:31pm DJ Peter: I'm wondering if Lockjaw wandered off mic for that reason? Or if Van Gelder just gave him extra echo?
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" by "Eddie "Lockjaw" D... I posted this on Stork's show, but there's a nice 4 LP set put out of the Davis/Scott albums on Craft Records. craftrecordings.com...
	🕰 ♥ 6:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:21 I don't actually go out to hear live music all that often. But I've been going now for almost 50 years, it adds up...
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm adamdoesit: If we (mostly) white people are feeling that the top levels of our government have perverted and betrayed everything we love our country for, this music we call jazz is a pungent reminder that Black people have been in this position (and worse) all along. DJ Peter, please tell me if I should shut off the politics, but it's unavoidable for me right now.
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @6:38 I echo that in general. When you’ve been around long enough, even occasional things start to add up
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Question Marks (The Spot)" by "Nels Cline" I literally have a note in my pocket to order this CD the next time I'm in town. How did you see it, Peter???
	♥ 6:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:41 I also have insight into Gregory's pocket.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:39 I suppose I could conceivably tell you to cool it but these days I think we've all got our head's spinning. It's the damage internationally that I'm really worried about. Not that I'm not worried about my neighbors all around me
	♥ 6:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 (so i doubt i'll tell you to cool it)
	♥ 6:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 internationally, globally...environmentally
	♥ 6:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:46 yes, my head's on a swivel, there's so much going on
	🕰 ♥ 6:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" Meals Ready to Eat! (I know I said this last week too; you can't expect originality at these prices.)
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Question Marks (The Spot)" by "Nels Cline" Seen them in PHilly, I think they're playing there again soon.
	♥ 6:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:52 that's okay, i didn't get it until just now. i thought you were sitting down to dinner
	♥ 6:53pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 All of it is terribly concerning. There is a lot to process—too much. Telling people to cool it might be a good idea. I wish that approach worked. Maybe we should all write letters to EM and tell him to cool it.
	6:55pm Jon: Love this! Has a Tony Williams lifetime vibe
	♥ 6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @6:55 Ah, good connection there. Now that you mention it, may have another in the ballpark later...
	6:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" how have i never have heard this?!!!/ i've heard ulmer before, but here he sounds like the love child of bailey/cosey/sharrock.
	🕰 ♥ 6:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:53 I think one of their albums had a big MRE on the cover. Am I right in thinking that George Adams was the horn player on one of their albums? (I think you played one with David Murray last week.)
	♥ 6:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:46 The strategy of dominating the news cycle, which is also owned and controlled entirely by the broligarchs, plutocrats, kleptocrats, is working. We are already folding under pressure.
	6:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" and seeing sam rivers live for the first time (w parker and shipp opened) in fl in 95, got me to adventure outside my indie rock ghetto.
	♥ 6:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:57 I think Murray on all but this one?
	🕰 ♥ 6:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @6:57 I read a Downbeat blindfold test of a bebop guitarist in the 90s who was given an Ulmer performance to react to. He demanded that the journalist stop the record shortly after the start.
	♥ 7:00pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter and listeners....
	♥ 7:01pm DJ Peter: Happy Birthday tom tom the pipers son!
	🕰 ♥ 7:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 The Birthday Boy is back!!!
	♥ 7:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:01 thanks peter... hi dr j....yes...
	7:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:59 one of my fave parts of the wire is the jukebox section, where a journalist does a blindfold test of a featured musician. the compiled books on it are actually a good read.
	7:04pm northguineahills: tomasito, feliz cumpleanos!
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Dave Holland Quartet" Haven't seen Marvin "Smitty" Smith's name in a while-he was all over for a while.
	♥ 7:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:04 muchas gracias.... got myself some cake (pastel) on the way home...
	♥ 7:07pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 Hi tom tom! Is it your birthday? Cheers ! 🥂
	♥ 7:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:07 thx, so much....
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:04 I see you survived your trip outside. My app says it will get down to 3º tonight. Yikes!
	♥ 7:11pm DJ Peter: no one has commented on the theme of this set (yet)... :-)
	♥ 7:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 legal woes peter?
	♥ 7:12pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:08 I’ve just, moments ago, sent happy birthday messages to 2 of my oldest, dearest friends.
	♥ 7:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:12 haha, i guess if you read the titles in sequence it would suggest that! help! so sue me! nemesis!
	7:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:08 i was literally breaking ice while walking (flat panes of ice from the meltwater that has refroze due to being in b/tn the the bunkers of plowed snow. (almost three weeks ago, finely slipped for the first time in 21 years, and detached a rib. seems to be healing correctly, but the breathing has been a pita...now i want pita)
	♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:12 ha! funny coincidence(s)... saw a woman filling out a birthday card on the bus....
	7:15pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 my favorite gi joe villain was nemesis enforcer. had no idea what the name could have meant at the time...
	♥ 7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 free association...
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Dave Holland Quartet" what a drum solo!
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:15 that's your m.o. after all
	♥ 7:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 ,,,, ; )
	♥ 7:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 We’re processing.
	♥ 7:17pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:14 Others seem to share your birthday. What a surprise!
	♥ 7:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:17 i guess you only notice on your day.... :P
	🕰 ♥ 7:19pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "East of the Sun" by "Paul Desmond" Desmond leaning into it. Excellent.
	♥ 7:21pm tom tom the pipers son: someone should make eyeglass frames, the desmond,.....but they'd cost an arm and a leg... or both your eyeballs...so there you go....
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm adamdoesit: Cutting out for a few to eat some supper (split pea and ham hock soup, baguette, salad). Bbiab.
	♥ 7:23pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ adamdoesit @7:22 Sounds very good. Enjoy!
	♥ 7:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @7:19 he does that ...doesn't he...
	♥ 7:26pm tom tom the pipers son: went to optometrist for first time as an adult... the price of frames is insane..... found online frames.... zenni optical, very inexpensive....was recommended ....fyi.....
	7:29pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 lens are bleeding insane!
	♥ 7:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 $39 glasses is another one. decent quality.
	🕰 ♥ 7:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:29 It makes intuitive sense to me that lenses could be expensive. Carefully engineered to high standards, etc. But frames are ridiculous. And if you like your frames, try replacing them with identical ones in a couple of years!
	🕰 ♥ 7:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Farouk" by "Eddie Davis Trio" By the way, nice music, Peter. Forgot you were playing tunes.
	♥ 7:32pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 Yes. I have spent more on glasses, including lenses and frames, more than what I paid for my first car—no kidding! It turns out that almost all of the eyeglass commerce, every brand and shop is owned by one Swiss or Italian company. I saw a it featured on "60 Minutes" years ago. Sorry, I am too lazy to look up the link to the story.
	♥ 7:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:29 yes, but with lenses i understand there's personalized engineering that goes into them ...but frames? btw zenni mostly sells frames with lenses....
	♥ 7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 Quite a compliment!
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Farouk" by "Eddie Davis Trio" But there was only Scott on that track? Six personnel listed for that "Trio + one" record.
	♥ 7:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:29 thx...
	♥ 7:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 man you need to pay closer attention...he's been going at it for a while now...one after another!
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Fast" by "Mark Turner" I think I understand this album cover, except for the huge red kidney bean.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 Is it like a regular thing, or is he just doing this today?
	♥ 7:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:32 figures.... a monoply....
	♥ 7:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:32 my first car was $175, so yeah! -but 300 i think is the most i've ever spent on glasses.
	♥ 7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fast" by "Mark Turner" like the linear movement here...
	7:38pm Charles: Time to take it easy on Drummer stream. Good hello everybody.
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:35 i tuned in about a week ago and he was doing it. i had to leave after ~3 hours but i assume he's been doing it the whole week!
	🕰 ♥ 7:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:38 God bless him!
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: Hi Charles -- I think I have your slippers and smoking jacket around here somewhere...
	♥ 7:40pm coelacanth∅: god bless us everyone
	♥ 7:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:40 it's practically the only thing left to say....
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm doctorjazz: Off to eat as well, also soup (what a coincidence), catch the rest tomorrow, thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:41 Yes. I was going to make a joke about it but came to your conclusion.
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 Going to reheat some lentil-spinach soup I made last week. My comments will be accordingly reduced, much to DJP's relief.
	♥ 7:45pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:41 God help us, PLEASE! That is one thing not yet said.
	♥ 7:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:45 yes... situation as it is, feel like that....
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: i'm eating greek olives with mozzarella balls, raw garlic, (rw garcia) lentil-turmeric crackers, and chick pea/coconut/kale dal (store bought, Maya Kaimal) i'm on my 5th clove of garlic, and sniffling
	♥ 7:48pm coelacanth∅: i'd like to call this lunch, and have chocolate for dinner; but i don't have any chocolate, so i guess this is it for the day.
	♥ 7:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 i've only eaten raw garlic when coming down with something
	♥ 7:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 that sounds tasty and virtuous both
	♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" how is this both laid back and so two-handed intricate at the same time?
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" Is this his tribute to Glen Campbell? I've heard so much about that.
	♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" @ peter.... this sounds so close to your intro music...
	♥ 7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:49 i almost never cook it. when i use it in a more complicated dish i usually put it in after turning off the heat at the end (so, it gets slightly cooked)
	♥ 7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:52 it's groovy
	♥ 7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 when dicing garlic i always think of paul sorvino in goodfellas slicing it with a razor blade
	♥ 7:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 Many people, including me, can’t digest raw garlic.
	♥ 7:57pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 yes!
	♥ 7:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 That scene always comes to mind when I do slice garlic.
	♥ 7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: o hey...southern nights a allen toussaint song...!
	♥ 8:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:58 it's quasi sacred...
	♥ 8:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:56 roasted garlic gives me trouble. i won't eat it. there used to be (maybe still is) a restaurant in madison, nj called the garlic rose. with every entree came a whole head of roasted garlic. by the third time there i'd learned to ask for a raw head of garlic instead.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello DJPeter and friends! I'm lurking while getting marathon stuff in order. So I am just buzzing by to say hi.
	♥ 8:01pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 Ah! I am astounded by the number of songs that I did not realize he had penned. The same is true for Carole King whose catalogue is equally extensive.
	♥ 8:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:00 good evening Wendy!
	♥ 8:02pm DJ Peter: Hey Wendy -- Looking forward to hearing about your prizes! Not that every WRECK show isn't a prize
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:00 Ok now I'm buzzing back in to say how much I'm loving this recording.
	♥ 8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:01 yes just looked it up...surprise!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:02 <3
	♥ 8:03pm StringOFperils: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:02 One of the best records of the entire century!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... Shout out to Bubber Miley, who co-wrote a number of early Ellington hits and was the greatest soloist of the early band. Died tragically young. Back to the soup. I have now washed enough pots to get cooking.
	♥ 8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... still basically ragtime here...
	♥ 8:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 ragtime was such a strong foundation to build off of like cubism
	♥ 8:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... Peter, I am digging these sets very much.
	♥ 8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: strayhorn...'39....!
	♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:08 I dig that you dig!
	♥ 8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... this cornet(?) way up in mix,,,!!!!....some recording...
	🕰 ♥ 8:12pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 Miley's growling trumpet in no small part responsible for the "Jungle Band" sound. Great interview with Duke! I haven't heard that.
	🕰 ♥ 8:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: It is so beautiful to hear Ellington's elegant speaking voice. I'm swooning over here.
	♥ 8:13pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 Sounds like a muted cornet.
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 sexy, elegant man!
	♥ 8:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:13 👍🏻
	♥ 8:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 I was thinking just that. His voice is wonderful.
	♥ 8:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 always ate his dessert first....why wait....?
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: Ellington always out-classed the radio interviewers.
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 Indeed.
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:16 pot8o!
	♥ 8:17pm San Pedro Girl: Genius is a word we use too often. But Duke Ellington is, imo, the real thing.
	♥ 8:20pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:15 Doesn’t everyone?
	♥ 8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't know... but it sound gershwin transformed ellingtons sound from 20's to here... or rather ellington was transformed by gershwin...maybe(?)
	♥ 8:21pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 If we were in the same room I would ask you to say more about that.
	♥ 8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:20 no.... [:l
	8:22pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:13 i used to have a cornet (w/ multiple mutes). /stupid spit valve came off...
	♥ 8:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:21 from earlier track.. i just hear gershwin interjected to elligton's sound... the timing/history seems to play it out as a possibility
	♥ 8:24pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ northguineahills @8:22 So that was it? I presume it was the last one on the planet.
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington" Interesting how much this has slowed down from the original. But Nance is great.
	♥ 8:25pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 yes! has a very different feeling.
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm adamdoesit: Back again. There's no such thing as too much Ellington.
	8:26pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:24 I used to play it in a vat of water w/ a contact mic running to an fx bank. (grandfather got it for my father at a store in wv in 1954, so, it was already ancient).
	♥ 8:26pm San Pedro Girl: Peter, I loved that. Both versions are great.
	8:27pm northguineahills: still waiting for shellac to release a shellac...
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm pot8o: wasn't there that one paul whiteman recording that was accidentally recorded in stereo back in the 20s?
	♥ 8:28pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:21 OK!
	♥ 8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 ignore me...Pretty much....thought black and tan was late thirties.... but gershwin still could have been an influence in '32
	8:29pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @8:26 (father was 6 at the time, and rarely used it, so one day in 2000, i found it and took it)
	♥ 8:29pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 Lol! Really??
	♥ 8:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:29 rhapsody in blue.....'27....?
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" Transplant wasteland, it's only transplant wasteland. They're all transplanted!
	♥ 8:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:30 1924
	♥ 8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @8:27 i will have to dig for that! i'm on it!
	♥ 8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" derek bailey having a mighty good time here... what collaboration...!
	♥ 8:34pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ adamdoesit @8:31 Don’t forget teenage wasteland. They’re ALL wasted.
	8:34pm northguineahills: emmett miller, he was minstrelist that nick toshches did a good book on early americana focused on emmet miller "where the dead voices gather" (minstrelly and vaudeville, early folk, etc)
	🕰 ♥ 8:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" Excellent Ellington-Basie bridge!
	♥ 8:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" masterfully cohesive track...
	8:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" the first time i saw derek bailey was at the church of united atheism in atlanta, ga. his wife was working the merch table and was a pleasure (saw him 6 times more)
	♥ 8:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @8:36 jealous! i was late to Derek Bailey...
	♥ 8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:34 interesting thx...
	🕰 ♥ 8:37pm adamdoesit: I gave the dogs the soup pot to clean. This could present an asphyxiation hazard later, but it'll save me some scrubbing. The cat is losing her mind. It's hers, damn it!
	8:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" haven't heard this album (i've seen both derek and bill, but never together!)
	♥ 8:37pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:31 neither stereo records nor tapes had been invented yet in the 20s, so i wonder wjhat a stereo recording might've been recorded to...a wax cylinder with 2 styluses?
	🕰 ♥ 8:38pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:37 it was 2 different microphones on 2 different discs iirc
	♥ 8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @8:38 tricky em effers....; )
	♥ 8:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ pot8o @8:38 so 2 separate recordings of the same performance. ...have you heard it? i'd like to!
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: this might be the last time Basie featured clarinet in the band so prominently
	8:40pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 when i was 20 and recovering from knee surgery, i gave my mother a list of random things to find in an orlando record store (best one outside of SF/NYC imho at the time), and she got me 6 derek bailey records. rip, miss me mum (she passed 54 weeks ago)
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:37 I like this kind of thinking. A few weeks ago I was wondering about the what if a turntable had three tone arms, how would they track? in line in one groove (isn't it all one groove?) or in adjacent grooves....?
	♥ 8:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 i mean, it's a pretty elementary concept! - but the hard part was to play the two 78s back at exactly the same time. (and speed, as they had a wide range around 78 rpm)
	♥ 8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:40 invent it and they will come
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Jack and Jill" by "Count Basie Big Band" That baritone sax sounded exactly like Harry Carney!
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm newton: ↳ newton @8:40 obviously then there is the question of the oroginal "recording" needle or is it three? needles that cut three nested grooves?
	♥ 8:42pm tom tom the pipers son: if there's a jazz tree, i wonder if there are branches represented by ellington and others basie or is it mixed up really...
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:39 www.youtube.com...
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Paradise Squat" by "Count Basie and His Orchestra" This track is sweet.
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @8:40 Oof, you just had the anniversary? I'm sorry! (My mom left us in August, so yeah, it's fresh)
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm newton: sorry, I just got here and busted into the middle of something I didn't know what. Hi
	♥ 8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 i was just being funny
	♥ 8:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:40 typically all one groove, yes. ...this might be good for rounds of row row row your boat!
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Peter: bust in anytime, newton!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:42 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Paradise Squat" by "Count Basie and His Orchestra" Count on organ? I have to eat my soup, Peter. Please let me stop with the comments!
	♥ 8:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ pot8o @8:42 nice! Thanks. (for later)
	🕰 ♥ 8:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:43 pot8o!
	♥ 8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Whirly-Bird" by "Count Basie" whoa count basie!... chk yer hed!
	♥ 8:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:42 this now occurs to me too that a quadrophonic recording could be achieved by making 2 separate stereo recording of the same performance then playing them at the same time. (which is a whole lot easier now than it would've been in the 1920s!)
	♥ 8:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 maybe, but still true!
	8:48pm Irene: Really enjoyed the show while driving home from NJ!
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:46 yes you could have 2 or more nested grooves that play a the same time (with separate needles) and are in synch because essentially they share the same geometrical distortions around the spindle
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:42 dayum, sorry! yeah it changes the whole family dynamic (especially w/ my bros and father). hope you're doing well, if i don't get back, i'm eating, and dyankyus!
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:48 does anybody remember that Mad magazine floppy record that had multiple endings?
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 errr, i've read about it! (if that counts)
	♥ 8:50pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:42 Peter, I’m sorry for your loss. That is quite recent. My mom passed away in August of '23.
	🕰 ♥ 8:50pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 different possible paths, but none simultaneous?
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:50 that's right
	♥ 8:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:47 sometimes humor is interjected in a way that supersedes facts
	♥ 8:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:48 they'd have to be separate tone arms (unless the record was mastered perfectly taking into account the different rates of progress at different distances from the center...which would be ridiculously complicated!)
	🕰 ♥ 8:52pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:52 yes, I am picturing separate tone arms in my imagination
	🕰 ♥ 8:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Whirly-Bird" by "Count Basie" I'm not certain, but I think the blast image on this Basie cover was from Operation Plumbbob, a series of nuclear tests conducted May-October 1957, outside -- and visible from -- Las Vegas, NV. That would have made the image quite fresh when this record was released. I can't help but wonder if Basie might've seen one of them himself.
	♥ 8:54pm coelacanth∅: that could be another way to have a quad playback. (not that i really care about quadraphonic sound)
	♥ 8:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:50 @ DJ Peter Sorry! I meant that comment for you not tom tom.
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 but it's fun to think about possibilities!
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:54 I got it, thanks! And sorry for your loss too!
	♥ 8:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:55 indeed!
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter... enjoyed the show.... enjoy that new pen...; )
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: There are many reasons not to dance… so many!
	♥ 8:57pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @8:55 Thanks Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:57pm adamdoesit: Closing time. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm newton: oh no Im so late the show is ending. Thanks DJ Peter!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, DJ Peter. The Ellington feature was great. V enjoyable show… maybe work on being more Serious next time!
	♥ 8:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:57 All the more reason to dance. We must not let the collapse keep us from experiencing joy.
	♥ 8:59pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 Cool it!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 never saw one; but there is the monty python record with 3 grooves. the standard ONE on one side, and 2 adjacent ones on the other side. - so if one didn't know about this, and their needle happened to slide into the same groove every time for a while, they could be extremely confused when one day - maybe weeks or months later, the record played an entirely different program!
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: See you all at the Oscars after-party!
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: thanks all!
	♥ 9:01pm coelacanth∅: d'oh! time's up! Thanks Peter!
	♥ 9:01pm WR: Thank you! Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 9:01pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:00 are there oscars?
	9:02pm Dean: Just checking in, having listened to a 1993 Analogue Productions issue of Sonny Rollins' Way Out West (on "Premium HQ-180 Super Vinyl," the value of which doesn't particularly impress me) on my turntable, which recently enjoyed a luxurious mani-pedi. Glorious sound music noise.
	9:03pm Dean: That Monty Python record is a hoot. Not being a Lou Reed fan at all, I nevertheless love MMM and its infinite range.
	♥ 9:04pm DJ Peter: typically Monty Python amiright?
	♥ 9:04pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean! the turntable got a tune-up?
	♥ 9:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @9:04 another justified use for the term "genius"... at least collectively!
	🕰 ♥ 10:59am doctorjazz: Just listening to the Jim Hall, caught up with the rest of the show (love Hall)!! Great Duke, nice to have some Count as well! Have the same turntable as Dean (Linn LP12), but haven't gone for the latest updates (this audiophile business is a bottomless pit...) Thanks Peter, catch you next time!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from March 2, 2025

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Listener comments!
	🕰 ♥ 6:00pm adamdoesit: Clocking in, with Who, But DJ Peter and Horologists?
	♥ 6:01pm WR: Is rabbit dental covered under current policies? Asking for a friend.
	🕰 ♥ 6:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	6:03pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @6:02 papas!
	6:04pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @6:01 WR!
	🕰 ♥ 6:04pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @6:03 ngh!
	♥ 6:05pm DJ Peter: rabbits are very fine, you know not everyone knows, but rabbits... Hares are underrecognized. Where are the hares! Used to love a good hare. But to answer your question: the rabbits don't show enough gratitude. So no. Sigh. Good to see y'all, WR, adamdoesit, pot8o, northguineahills!
	🕰 ♥ 6:06pm adamdoesit: Here's a question: what do we mean when we say "process," as in a generally unpleasant or perhaps traumatic event?
	♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 that's an excellent question and I suspect the answer is "i'm overwhelmed but if I say i'm processing maybe adamdoesit will move on to another topic"
	♥ 6:07pm San Pedro Girl: Hello DJ Peter, and all!
	♥ 6:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:07 Hahaha!
	♥ 6:09pm DJ Peter: Hi San Pedro Girl! How are you processing?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm Listener Gregory: Hello? An app on my phone says this is Lady Chanticleer, but I wonder. (Don't ask which app; not the station's.)
	♥ 6:10pm luka: good evening
	6:10pm northguineahills: going to attempt a walk. it's 15F outside, and icey AF. be back!
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 I never say that, because I can't answer your question.
	♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: Hi Listener Gregory. You should know by now to trust your ears, not your app. Luka! Good eve!
	6:12pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @6:05 lt's the buns you know.....
	♥ 6:13pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:09 Thanks for asking. I am struggling, trying not to implode. Grief is not avoidable. There is no way to deny that we are indeed experiencing collapse on many levels.
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:07 Sorry, Peter. It's been on my mind. When you're a therapist, it's one of those words that people use as though its meaning were self-evident and… it's not. Me? I'm deep in the weeds of WTAF, so I won't press the point. San Pedro Girl, I'd ask if you're ok, but that sounds like a resounding no, which honestly is a fine and rational response. Right there with you.
	♥ 6:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ San Pedro Girl @6:13 maybe "grieving" is a good answer to adamdoesit's question No shade meant, adamdoesit. If I were a a therapist, that's a question i'd aks too!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm Little Danny: hello!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Hello DJ Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:15 Grieving. That rings for me, Peter. Thanks.
	6:18pm Kevin the Painter: Hola DJ Peter! First time listener from STL MO. Digging it so far
	♥ 6:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:05 Sorry to say, rabbits are NOT doing so well. Virus has been a big problem, reducing wild population significantly. This means less food for coyotes who now must find other food, domestic pets for example.
	♥ 6:18pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ Kevin the Painter @6:18 Welcome aboard Kevin the Painter
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Feet Music" by "Matt Wilson" I heard this song in a used record store yesterday but from the Spy Vs Spy album of the 80s: John Zorn and Tim Berne in a tribute to Ornette that managed to sound like heavy metal without any guitars or electronics.
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:20 I saw the Spy vs Spy band at the original Knitting Factory, great band!
	♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Kevin the Painter @6:18 Kevin the Painter welcome! So glad you said hello!
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm doctorjazz: And hi, DJ Peter, Clock Watchers!
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:20 I am planning my revenge, @doctorj... it will be so sweet.
	♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:20 of course you did! Hello doctor! And hello Ivan!
	♥ 6:22pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ adamdoesit @6:14 Anyone, and I know a few, not rattled or upset, is either already dead, in a coma, or in some kind of delusional state of blissful ignorance that I can’t seem to achieve. I’ve tried.
	🕰 ♥ 6:23pm Little Danny: wonderful... chico's grandson huh?
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm doctorjazz: The space between Stork and The Laughing Clock is actually not a bad thing-I was able to get some stuff done (which I hadn't been able to manage from 9 AM until the end of Stork's show...
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm adamdoesit: ↳ San Pedro Girl @6:22 There's a lot of voluntary deadness going around. It's less painful than thinking, feeling, living. Melt All the Guns t(w)o The Eternal Good Trouble for These Streets. Where's tom tom?
	♥ 6:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @6:23 Yes indeed! But i struck out while trying to clarify his relationship to Arturo O'Farrill (son? or nephew?)
	♥ 6:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 it means annalizing and learning how to respond to it.
	♥ 6:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:24 hopefully out celebrating his birthday. Hey coelacanthø!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:25 Fair. Thanks, cøel.
	♥ 6:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:25 (which i just decided. i've never used that term in that context and never thought about it much)
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 son! according to his bio just now
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Late June" by "Adam O'Farrill" Arturo O'Farrill's son as well. Saw Adam a couple of times (once, to my amazement, at a local summer "jazz fest" in my town, as a side man for I don't remember whom. I didn't know who he was before they announced the band, but he jumped out.
	♥ 6:27pm DJ Peter: ah, thanks for the genealogical research. Now, can anyone tell me what Ellington's theme was before "Take the A Train"?
	🕰 ♥ 6:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Late June" by "Adam O'Farrill" It took me a while to realize that Adam O'Farrill was the trumpeter on all the albums of the downtown and Brooklyn crowd. I heard him live once in ... Anna Webber's group? Very good.
	🕰 ♥ 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:27 East St. Louis Etc.? Reminiscing in Tempo? Thanks for the Memories?
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:28 iirc East St. Louis Toodle-oo is correct.
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:28 I think you were right the first time Iast St Louis Tood-loo
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:29 I confuse Ellington with Bob Hope all the time.
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" by "Eddie "Lockjaw" D... Start of our Ellington tribute?
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm Little Danny: i like these "cookbook" lps, nice club-smoky vibe
	♥ 6:31pm DJ Peter: I'm wondering if Lockjaw wandered off mic for that reason? Or if Van Gelder just gave him extra echo?
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" by "Eddie "Lockjaw" D... I posted this on Stork's show, but there's a nice 4 LP set put out of the Davis/Scott albums on Craft Records. craftrecordings.com...
	🕰 ♥ 6:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:21 I don't actually go out to hear live music all that often. But I've been going now for almost 50 years, it adds up...
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm adamdoesit: If we (mostly) white people are feeling that the top levels of our government have perverted and betrayed everything we love our country for, this music we call jazz is a pungent reminder that Black people have been in this position (and worse) all along. DJ Peter, please tell me if I should shut off the politics, but it's unavoidable for me right now.
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @6:38 I echo that in general. When you’ve been around long enough, even occasional things start to add up
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Question Marks (The Spot)" by "Nels Cline" I literally have a note in my pocket to order this CD the next time I'm in town. How did you see it, Peter???
	♥ 6:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:41 I also have insight into Gregory's pocket.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:39 I suppose I could conceivably tell you to cool it but these days I think we've all got our head's spinning. It's the damage internationally that I'm really worried about. Not that I'm not worried about my neighbors all around me
	♥ 6:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 (so i doubt i'll tell you to cool it)
	♥ 6:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 internationally, globally...environmentally
	♥ 6:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:46 yes, my head's on a swivel, there's so much going on
	🕰 ♥ 6:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" Meals Ready to Eat! (I know I said this last week too; you can't expect originality at these prices.)
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Question Marks (The Spot)" by "Nels Cline" Seen them in PHilly, I think they're playing there again soon.
	♥ 6:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:52 that's okay, i didn't get it until just now. i thought you were sitting down to dinner
	♥ 6:53pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @6:43 All of it is terribly concerning. There is a lot to process—too much. Telling people to cool it might be a good idea. I wish that approach worked. Maybe we should all write letters to EM and tell him to cool it.
	6:55pm Jon: Love this! Has a Tony Williams lifetime vibe
	♥ 6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @6:55 Ah, good connection there. Now that you mention it, may have another in the ballpark later...
	6:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" how have i never have heard this?!!!/ i've heard ulmer before, but here he sounds like the love child of bailey/cosey/sharrock.
	🕰 ♥ 6:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:53 I think one of their albums had a big MRE on the cover. Am I right in thinking that George Adams was the horn player on one of their albums? (I think you played one with David Murray last week.)
	♥ 6:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:46 The strategy of dominating the news cycle, which is also owned and controlled entirely by the broligarchs, plutocrats, kleptocrats, is working. We are already folding under pressure.
	6:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Help" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" and seeing sam rivers live for the first time (w parker and shipp opened) in fl in 95, got me to adventure outside my indie rock ghetto.
	♥ 6:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:57 I think Murray on all but this one?
	🕰 ♥ 6:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @6:57 I read a Downbeat blindfold test of a bebop guitarist in the 90s who was given an Ulmer performance to react to. He demanded that the journalist stop the record shortly after the start.
	♥ 7:00pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter and listeners....
	♥ 7:01pm DJ Peter: Happy Birthday tom tom the pipers son!
	🕰 ♥ 7:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 The Birthday Boy is back!!!
	♥ 7:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:01 thanks peter... hi dr j....yes...
	7:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:59 one of my fave parts of the wire is the jukebox section, where a journalist does a blindfold test of a featured musician. the compiled books on it are actually a good read.
	7:04pm northguineahills: tomasito, feliz cumpleanos!
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Dave Holland Quartet" Haven't seen Marvin "Smitty" Smith's name in a while-he was all over for a while.
	♥ 7:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:04 muchas gracias.... got myself some cake (pastel) on the way home...
	♥ 7:07pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 Hi tom tom! Is it your birthday? Cheers ! 🥂

	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:04 I see you survived your trip outside. My app says it will get down to 3º tonight. Yikes!
	♥ 7:11pm DJ Peter: no one has commented on the theme of this set (yet)... :-)
	♥ 7:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 legal woes peter?
	♥ 7:12pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:08 I’ve just, moments ago, sent happy birthday messages to 2 of my oldest, dearest friends.
	♥ 7:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:12 haha, i guess if you read the titles in sequence it would suggest that! help! so sue me! nemesis!
	7:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:08 i was literally breaking ice while walking (flat panes of ice from the meltwater that has refroze due to being in b/tn the the bunkers of plowed snow. (almost three weeks ago, finely slipped for the first time in 21 years, and detached a rib. seems to be healing correctly, but the breathing has been a pita...now i want pita)
	♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:12 ha! funny coincidence(s)... saw a woman filling out a birthday card on the bus....
	7:15pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 my favorite gi joe villain was nemesis enforcer. had no idea what the name could have meant at the time...
	♥ 7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:13 free association...
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Dave Holland Quartet" what a drum solo!
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:15 that's your m.o. after all
	♥ 7:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 ,,,, ; )
	♥ 7:16pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 We’re processing.
	♥ 7:17pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:14 Others seem to share your birthday. What a surprise!
	♥ 7:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:17 i guess you only notice on your day.... :P
	🕰 ♥ 7:19pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "East of the Sun" by "Paul Desmond" Desmond leaning into it. Excellent.
	♥ 7:21pm tom tom the pipers son: someone should make eyeglass frames, the desmond,.....but they'd cost an arm and a leg... or both your eyeballs...so there you go....
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm adamdoesit: Cutting out for a few to eat some supper (split pea and ham hock soup, baguette, salad). Bbiab.
	♥ 7:23pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ adamdoesit @7:22 Sounds very good. Enjoy!
	♥ 7:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @7:19 he does that ...doesn't he...
	♥ 7:26pm tom tom the pipers son: went to optometrist for first time as an adult... the price of frames is insane..... found online frames.... zenni optical, very inexpensive....was recommended ....fyi.....
	7:29pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 lens are bleeding insane!
	♥ 7:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 $39 glasses is another one. decent quality.
	🕰 ♥ 7:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:29 It makes intuitive sense to me that lenses could be expensive. Carefully engineered to high standards, etc. But frames are ridiculous. And if you like your frames, try replacing them with identical ones in a couple of years!
	🕰 ♥ 7:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Farouk" by "Eddie Davis Trio" By the way, nice music, Peter. Forgot you were playing tunes.
	♥ 7:32pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 Yes. I have spent more on glasses, including lenses and frames, more than what I paid for my first car—no kidding! It turns out that almost all of the eyeglass commerce, every brand and shop is owned by one Swiss or Italian company. I saw a it featured on "60 Minutes" years ago. Sorry, I am too lazy to look up the link to the story.
	♥ 7:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:29 yes, but with lenses i understand there's personalized engineering that goes into them ...but frames? btw zenni mostly sells frames with lenses....
	♥ 7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 Quite a compliment!
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Farouk" by "Eddie Davis Trio" But there was only Scott on that track? Six personnel listed for that "Trio + one" record.
	♥ 7:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:29 thx...
	♥ 7:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 man you need to pay closer attention...he's been going at it for a while now...one after another!
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Fast" by "Mark Turner" I think I understand this album cover, except for the huge red kidney bean.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:34 Is it like a regular thing, or is he just doing this today?
	♥ 7:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:32 figures.... a monoply....
	♥ 7:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:32 my first car was $175, so yeah! -but 300 i think is the most i've ever spent on glasses.
	♥ 7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fast" by "Mark Turner" like the linear movement here...
	7:38pm Charles: Time to take it easy on Drummer stream. Good hello everybody.
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:35 i tuned in about a week ago and he was doing it. i had to leave after ~3 hours but i assume he's been doing it the whole week!
	🕰 ♥ 7:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:38 God bless him!
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: Hi Charles -- I think I have your slippers and smoking jacket around here somewhere...
	♥ 7:40pm coelacanth∅: god bless us everyone
	♥ 7:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:40 it's practically the only thing left to say....
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm doctorjazz: Off to eat as well, also soup (what a coincidence), catch the rest tomorrow, thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:41 Yes. I was going to make a joke about it but came to your conclusion.
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 Going to reheat some lentil-spinach soup I made last week. My comments will be accordingly reduced, much to DJP's relief.
	♥ 7:45pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:41 God help us, PLEASE! That is one thing not yet said.
	♥ 7:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:45 yes... situation as it is, feel like that....
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: i'm eating greek olives with mozzarella balls, raw garlic, (rw garcia) lentil-turmeric crackers, and chick pea/coconut/kale dal (store bought, Maya Kaimal) i'm on my 5th clove of garlic, and sniffling
	♥ 7:48pm coelacanth∅: i'd like to call this lunch, and have chocolate for dinner; but i don't have any chocolate, so i guess this is it for the day.
	♥ 7:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 i've only eaten raw garlic when coming down with something
	♥ 7:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 that sounds tasty and virtuous both
	♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" how is this both laid back and so two-handed intricate at the same time?
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" Is this his tribute to Glen Campbell? I've heard so much about that.
	♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Southern Nights" by "Sullivan Fortner" @ peter.... this sounds so close to your intro music...
	♥ 7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:49 i almost never cook it. when i use it in a more complicated dish i usually put it in after turning off the heat at the end (so, it gets slightly cooked)
	♥ 7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @7:52 it's groovy
	♥ 7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 when dicing garlic i always think of paul sorvino in goodfellas slicing it with a razor blade
	♥ 7:56pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 Many people, including me, can’t digest raw garlic.
	♥ 7:57pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 yes!
	♥ 7:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 That scene always comes to mind when I do slice garlic.
	♥ 7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: o hey...southern nights a allen toussaint song...!
	♥ 8:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:58 it's quasi sacred...
	♥ 8:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ San Pedro Girl @7:56 roasted garlic gives me trouble. i won't eat it. there used to be (maybe still is) a restaurant in madison, nj called the garlic rose. with every entree came a whole head of roasted garlic. by the third time there i'd learned to ask for a raw head of garlic instead.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello DJPeter and friends! I'm lurking while getting marathon stuff in order. So I am just buzzing by to say hi.
	♥ 8:01pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 Ah! I am astounded by the number of songs that I did not realize he had penned. The same is true for Carole King whose catalogue is equally extensive.
	♥ 8:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:00 good evening Wendy!
	♥ 8:02pm DJ Peter: Hey Wendy -- Looking forward to hearing about your prizes! Not that every WRECK show isn't a prize
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:00 Ok now I'm buzzing back in to say how much I'm loving this recording.

	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... Shout out to Bubber Miley, who co-wrote a number of early Ellington hits and was the greatest soloist of the early band. Died tragically young. Back to the soup. I have now washed enough pots to get cooking.
	♥ 8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington and ... still basically ragtime here...
	♥ 8:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 ragtime was such a strong foundation to build off of like cubism

	🕰 ♥ 8:12pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 Miley's growling trumpet in no small part responsible for the "Jungle Band" sound. Great interview with Duke! I haven't heard that.
	🕰 ♥ 8:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: It is so beautiful to hear Ellington's elegant speaking voice. I'm swooning over here.
	♥ 8:13pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 Sounds like a muted cornet.
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 sexy, elegant man!
	♥ 8:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:13 👍🏻
	♥ 8:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 I was thinking just that. His voice is wonderful.
	♥ 8:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 always ate his dessert first....why wait....?
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:13 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: Ellington always out-classed the radio interviewers.
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 Indeed.
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:16 pot8o!
	♥ 8:17pm San Pedro Girl: Genius is a word we use too often. But Duke Ellington is, imo, the real thing.
	♥ 8:20pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:15 Doesn’t everyone?
	♥ 8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't know... but it sound gershwin transformed ellingtons sound from 20's to here... or rather ellington was transformed by gershwin...maybe(?)
	♥ 8:21pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 If we were in the same room I would ask you to say more about that.
	♥ 8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:20 no.... [:l
	8:22pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:13 i used to have a cornet (w/ multiple mutes). /stupid spit valve came off...
	♥ 8:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:21 from earlier track.. i just hear gershwin interjected to elligton's sound... the timing/history seems to play it out as a possibility
	♥ 8:24pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ northguineahills @8:22 So that was it? I presume it was the last one on the planet.
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by "Duke Ellington" Interesting how much this has slowed down from the original. But Nance is great.
	♥ 8:25pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 yes! has a very different feeling.
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm adamdoesit: Back again. There's no such thing as too much Ellington.
	8:26pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:24 I used to play it in a vat of water w/ a contact mic running to an fx bank. (grandfather got it for my father at a store in wv in 1954, so, it was already ancient).
	♥ 8:26pm San Pedro Girl: Peter, I loved that. Both versions are great.
	8:27pm northguineahills: still waiting for shellac to release a shellac...

	8:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Transplant Wasteland" by "Arcana" haven't heard this album (i've seen both derek and bill, but never together!)
	♥ 8:37pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:31 neither stereo records nor tapes had been invented yet in the 20s, so i wonder wjhat a stereo recording might've been recorded to...a wax cylinder with 2 styluses?
	🕰 ♥ 8:38pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:37 it was 2 different microphones on 2 different discs iirc
	♥ 8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @8:38 tricky em effers....; )

	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: this might be the last time Basie featured clarinet in the band so prominently
	8:40pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 when i was 20 and recovering from knee surgery, i gave my mother a list of random things to find in an orlando record store (best one outside of SF/NYC imho at the time), and she got me 6 derek bailey records. rip, miss me mum (she passed 54 weeks ago)
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:37 I like this kind of thinking. A few weeks ago I was wondering about the what if a turntable had three tone arms, how would they track? in line in one groove (isn't it all one groove?) or in adjacent grooves....?
	♥ 8:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 i mean, it's a pretty elementary concept! - but the hard part was to play the two 78s back at exactly the same time. (and speed, as they had a wide range around 78 rpm)
	♥ 8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:40 invent it and they will come
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Jack and Jill" by "Count Basie Big Band" That baritone sax sounded exactly like Harry Carney!
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm newton: ↳ newton @8:40 obviously then there is the question of the oroginal "recording" needle or is it three? needles that cut three nested grooves?
	♥ 8:42pm tom tom the pipers son: if there's a jazz tree, i wonder if there are branches represented by ellington and others basie or is it mixed up really...
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:39 www.youtube.com...
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Paradise Squat" by "Count Basie and His Orchestra" This track is sweet.
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @8:40 Oof, you just had the anniversary? I'm sorry! (My mom left us in August, so yeah, it's fresh)
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm newton: sorry, I just got here and busted into the middle of something I didn't know what. Hi
	♥ 8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:41 i was just being funny
	♥ 8:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:40 typically all one groove, yes. ...this might be good for rounds of row row row your boat!
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Peter: bust in anytime, newton!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:42 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Paradise Squat" by "Count Basie and His Orchestra" Count on organ? I have to eat my soup, Peter. Please let me stop with the comments!
	♥ 8:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ pot8o @8:42 nice! Thanks. (for later)
	🕰 ♥ 8:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:43 pot8o!
	♥ 8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Whirly-Bird" by "Count Basie" whoa count basie!... chk yer hed!
	♥ 8:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:42 this now occurs to me too that a quadrophonic recording could be achieved by making 2 separate stereo recording of the same performance then playing them at the same time. (which is a whole lot easier now than it would've been in the 1920s!)
	♥ 8:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 maybe, but still true!
	8:48pm Irene: Really enjoyed the show while driving home from NJ!
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:46 yes you could have 2 or more nested grooves that play a the same time (with separate needles) and are in synch because essentially they share the same geometrical distortions around the spindle
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:42 dayum, sorry! yeah it changes the whole family dynamic (especially w/ my bros and father). hope you're doing well, if i don't get back, i'm eating, and dyankyus!
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:48 does anybody remember that Mad magazine floppy record that had multiple endings?
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 errr, i've read about it! (if that counts)
	♥ 8:50pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:42 Peter, I’m sorry for your loss. That is quite recent. My mom passed away in August of '23.
	🕰 ♥ 8:50pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 different possible paths, but none simultaneous?
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:50 that's right
	♥ 8:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:47 sometimes humor is interjected in a way that supersedes facts
	♥ 8:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:48 they'd have to be separate tone arms (unless the record was mastered perfectly taking into account the different rates of progress at different distances from the center...which would be ridiculously complicated!)
	🕰 ♥ 8:52pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:52 yes, I am picturing separate tone arms in my imagination
	🕰 ♥ 8:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Whirly-Bird" by "Count Basie" I'm not certain, but I think the blast image on this Basie cover was from Operation Plumbbob, a series of nuclear tests conducted May-October 1957, outside -- and visible from -- Las Vegas, NV. That would have made the image quite fresh when this record was released. I can't help but wonder if Basie might've seen one of them himself.
	♥ 8:54pm coelacanth∅: that could be another way to have a quad playback. (not that i really care about quadraphonic sound)
	♥ 8:54pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:50 @ DJ Peter Sorry! I meant that comment for you not tom tom.
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 but it's fun to think about possibilities!
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ San Pedro Girl @8:54 I got it, thanks! And sorry for your loss too!
	♥ 8:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:55 indeed!
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter... enjoyed the show.... enjoy that new pen...; )
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: There are many reasons not to dance… so many!
	♥ 8:57pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ DJ Peter @8:55 Thanks Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:57pm adamdoesit: Closing time. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm newton: oh no Im so late the show is ending. Thanks DJ Peter!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, DJ Peter. The Ellington feature was great. V enjoyable show… maybe work on being more Serious next time!
	♥ 8:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:57 All the more reason to dance. We must not let the collapse keep us from experiencing joy.
	♥ 8:59pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 Cool it!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 never saw one; but there is the monty python record with 3 grooves. the standard ONE on one side, and 2 adjacent ones on the other side. - so if one didn't know about this, and their needle happened to slide into the same groove every time for a while, they could be extremely confused when one day - maybe weeks or months later, the record played an entirely different program!
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: See you all at the Oscars after-party!
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: thanks all!
	♥ 9:01pm coelacanth∅: d'oh! time's up! Thanks Peter!
	♥ 9:01pm WR: Thank you! Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 9:01pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:00 are there oscars?
	9:02pm Dean: Just checking in, having listened to a 1993 Analogue Productions issue of Sonny Rollins' Way Out West (on "Premium HQ-180 Super Vinyl," the value of which doesn't particularly impress me) on my turntable, which recently enjoyed a luxurious mani-pedi. Glorious sound music noise.
	9:03pm Dean: That Monty Python record is a hoot. Not being a Lou Reed fan at all, I nevertheless love MMM and its infinite range.
	♥ 9:04pm DJ Peter: typically Monty Python amiright?
	♥ 9:04pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean! the turntable got a tune-up?
	♥ 9:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @9:04 another justified use for the term "genius"... at least collectively!
	🕰 ♥ 10:59am doctorjazz: Just listening to the Jim Hall, caught up with the rest of the show (love Hall)!! Great Duke, nice to have some Count as well! Have the same turntable as Dean (Linn LP12), but haven't gone for the latest updates (this audiophile business is a bottomless pit...) Thanks Peter, catch you next time!
