WFMU: The Avant Ghetto with Jeff Conklin: Playlist from January 30, 2017

Listener comments!
	12:01am PMD: Hmm... can't imagine why you'd be playing this.
	12:02am Scraps: German is such a relaxing language
	12:07am Jeff Conklin: Morning, all
	12:13am pacific standard simon: Hello Jeff and fellow avant ghetto trash. Long time no see.
	12:15am Hagbard Celine: more trash here from the midwest, pacific
	12:16am Scraps: Hey PS Salmon!
	12:16am Scraps: Wow, weird-ass typo
	12:17am Brent.: Not TOO on point tonight, man. This is fantastic.
	12:17am pp: Jaw-dropping liner notes on the German Oak album. Apparently it says "We dedicate this record to our parents which had a bad time in World War 2." Understatement of all time. Found via Julian Cope's HeadHeritage site.
	12:17am Scraps: um. Hey, PS Simon!
	12:17am pacific standard simon: We got plenty salmon here.
	12:20am Mario: Good.morning everyone!
	12:20am pacific standard simon: Getting in training for the WFMU marathon.
	12:21am Scraps: I'm thinking of Neil of the Young Ones speaking: "Dedicated to our mums and dads who had a Bad Time in w.w. two."
	12:24am Jeff Conklin: Hey, Simon, No, trash here just beautiful people..
	12:25am Hagbard Celine: Everything I have heard by Centralstodet on this show has been superb
	12:28am pacific standard simon: Sounds a little like Robin Trower's "Bridge Of Sighs".
	12:39am Mario: I wish hate was just a legend. My suppprt and energies for american people (but not even americans) those who have to live with that fucking Donald. La fuerza es del pueblo!
	12:41am slowbear: hey jeff, haven't really listened since before the election. good to hear ya
	12:42am Jeff Conklin: Welcome home, slowbear.
	12:45am slowbear: how you been holding up man.
	12:52am PMD: This has been a great show. Thank you. Gotta go to sleep now...
	12:52am rw: Howdy
	12:53am terribilia: fuck this kills
	12:54am tuner fish: this Ya Ho Wha 13 is absolutely incredible...
	12:57am pacific standard simon: We know where this is going. La Donald discovers that being President kinda sucks for a person of his temperament. Finds a plausible excuse not to run again. Mike Pence runs against whoever. If he wins, you'll be be missing the Trump presidency in next to no time.
	12:59am slowbear: If I had to guess I would say that the DNC's going to invest a lot of time and money into running Corey Booker and Elizabeth Warren... unfortunately I don't think either would win (and I'm not a booker fan).
	1:00am slowbear: I think Warren is a very regulatory-minded politicians and it will bore the crap out of voters the same way Hillary did.
	1:00am tuner fish: do you think Bernie might run again, and would he have a better chance?
	1:01am Scraps: Simon: All too plausible. Still, Trump has to think of a way that not running for re-election doesn't mean he's given up or lost.
	1:01am slowbear: Man I hope Bernie runs. I hope that guy is getting some exercise. But who knows.
	1:02am slowbear: I think Trump is actually realizing that this is the easiest job ever for him, and that he just has to do whatever Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway tell him, and read off the teleprompter
	1:02am slowbear: Although I think he's a giant baby behind closed doors
	1:03am Scraps: going to lie down and listen to what Jeff is playing. see ya
	1:07am rw: G'night Scraps!
	1:08am eye in the sky: Reminds me of Link Wray's " Genocide" heavy stuff.
	1:12am pacific standard simon: Remembering Butch Trucks, what a wonderful thing to do with this bully pulpit!
	1:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jeff and ghettozens. Been waiting for some Allmans. Thanks for putting this together.
	1:15am pacific standard simon: I think it's 50/50 Trump has a heart attack and dies in office. He always looks awful, and he's already got the White House loaded with Doritos.
	1:18am pacific standard simon: DJ premium: bands with two drummers. Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Mothers of Invention. Who else?
	1:19am Scraps: You don't know what's going on in Truck's mind or body. Especially at 69. I am in constant pain. If I eventually kill myself, it will not be because haven't thought it through. I think you should respect his decision, not knowing him. Basically, people wanting him to change his thought is selfish, by accusing him of selfishness. Go in peace, Jeff. I don't think i will change your mind, but it's a personally important issue.
	1:19am Dean: The only AB album I ever owned (prior to relatively recently acquiring Live at Fillmore East) was Brothers & Sisters. I never thought twice about later AB records. Meanwhile, I always admired the older records with Duane. This taste of the stuff I deliberately avoided is really pleasant. Two drummers: Genesis, post-Gabriel w/ Collins and Chester Thompson.
	1:20am pacific standard simon: Weather Report.
	1:20am Dean: ...and Led Zeppelin. John Bonham. Two drummers.
	1:21am ausmanx: the greatest use of two drummers? The Fall on HEX ENDUCTION HOUR
	1:22am Jeff Conklin: @Scraps: That is true, I don't know. I just find it so sad, you make a good point.
	1:23am ausmanx: only just arrived, missed the commentary and can't piece it together from the playlist. i wonder what's been said?
	1:25am Jeff Conklin: You missed me saying I don't really care for The Fall except for a bout 3 songs.
	1:26am pacific standard simon: I had to think about the suicide thing after Robin Williams. What he was going through was awful, but what he left behind was awful, too. Fortunately, I am not a moral authority in anybody's book.
	1:28am mitch: nice brazil track
	1:28am ausmanx: gotta respect anyone who's listened to every Fall song!
	1:30am Dean: Never thought of The Fall as a band one "cared for" at all. I mean, if there was ever a sui generis rock band, it's The Fall. They won me over with "Repetition," but otherwise I'd be perpetually wondering..."Huh?"
	1:30am Jeff Conklin: @ausmanx: Ha. Life's too short for that. I don't need to taste every oyster in the sea to know it tastes like shit to me ;)
	1:32am pacific standard simon: That sounds like an awesome lyric, Jeff.
	1:33am Jeff Conklin: That said, I absolutely adore "My New House' and listen to it fairly often.
	1:34am pacific standard simon: I'm a Curious Oranj fan, but am otherwise ignorant.
	1:38am Brian in UK: Quick hello/goodbye afore work. Steely Dan two drummers live. Really.
	1:39am ausmanx: true enough, i imagine i've heard enough Allman Brothers to know they taste like shit to me, but then the Allman Brothers haven't been around for 42 years and gone through dozens of line-up changes. if they had, i would perhaps be more cautious...
	1:39am pacific standard simon: rateyourmusic.com...
	1:43am pacific standard simon: Ha, Dirtbombs! Could there be a more WFMU band? www.moderndrummer.com...
	1:46am Jeff Conklin: @ausmanx: I respect your allegiance to The Fall.
	2:02am pacific standard simon: I often wish that Jefferson Airplane had had two drummers. Spencer was great in his own way, but he could have used some support from someone like Aynsley Dunbar, for example.
	2:06am Mark R: Simon, you're back! I was going to send out a search party...
	2:09am pacific standard simon: I go through these stretches where I can't do comments. Try to get out of them before the pledge drive.
	2:11am Scraps: If you meant me, I haven't gone. Just listening, in my bed. If you didn't mean me, of course, I'm still listening in my bed. Cheers.
	2:13am Scraps: "If you meant me" , that is, Jeff
	2:13am Mark R: Nice to see both of you, actually.
	2:13am ice in Bklyn: Really have enjoyed this set, but I got to go.
	2:15am pacific standard simon: Mark R, you'll be delighted to know, I'm sure, that I don't have to go anywhere. :-D
	2:16am Mark R: I am, yes.
	2:16am ice in Bklyn: Thanks jc/ag
	2:17am Jeff Conklin: Peace, ice
	2:22am Scraps: My favorite jazz band of the nineties, The Henry Threadgill Sextett, had two drummers, Reggie Nicholson and Pheeroan AkLaff.
	2:25am Scraps: But the next Henry Threadgill band, the Very Very Circus, had two tuba players! Now that's awesome.
	2:27am pacific standard simon: Henry Threadgill has always been seriously badass.
	2:28am Scraps: (When I said " of the nineties", I meant "of the eighties". Sheesh.)
	2:30am ausmanx: i guess when Boredoms had 77 drummers, that's taking you into slightly different territory...
	2:37am pacific standard simon: Ah well, there's always Harry Partch and Steve Reich...
	2:40am ! I X Key !: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:41am ! I X Key !: I just actually got a lovely number of Steve Reich CDs
	2:42am MattW: Excellent set here, Jeff. Gratitude as always...
	2:42am ! I X Key !: JUST got
	2:46am ! I X Key !: I have always thought since the previous great extinction that Steve Reich is one of the best people
	2:56am Scraps: Very mellow and beautiful show, Jeff. Thank you.
	2:56am Jeff Conklin: Thanks, everybody. Take care
	2:57am pacific standard simon: Rock on!
	2:59am Juan: While I listen to this show every week, tonight had a nice twist, listening while driving down the Baja California coastline, from San Diego to Ensenada. Lovely stuff.
