Hi Coel! So we begin with a direct challenge to Doug Schulkind, who rather confidently proclaimed Al Green's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" the best of all Hank covers

Lovely.

OK, that was the 3rd greatest Hank Williams cover, ever. Or 33rd?

Lotsa GtDR meta references in this first set: "Doug's Room," "Blue Flame" and a direct challenge to a Schulkind assertion during Evan's show
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

The 45 - such the perfect Pop artifact. Lotsa curatin' & spinnin' for the DJ tho'!

Scraps and NGH! Welcome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Little Danny:

Thanks for the understanding, RRN63 - my absence in the comments is due to the scramble
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Little Danny:

So what sort of sound are you fine folks hungering for? I would love to chase down a specific mood through music
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Doug Schulkind:

When you scramble your show, Little Danny, do you use a whisk. Or do you just use a fork?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Little Danny:

@Doug It's all with my hands, actually, but I do slide around the floor in tap shoes for maximum sound and theatricality
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Little Danny:

I don't know what that means either
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Call themselves 'Ho-Dads' & do a Jazz standard.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
coelacanth∅:

and the result is the sonic equivalent of a spin-painting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
Little Danny:

Has there ever been a bad version of "Song for My Father"?
  10:56pm
MrFab:

@RR: maybe by "Ho Dad" they meant 'pimp.'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:56pm
Little Danny:

Ha, coel, it does really feel like that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Little Danny:

Missssterrr FAB!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

It's like the Jazz equivalent of regional No-Hit wonder Garage singles & their 'production values'. There was this photo of Matt FiveAsh in some 45 library - just a wall of 'em - most extraordinary but particular look on his face of mixed awe & being overwhelmed : you'd never ever ever play them all...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Doug Schulkind:

Little Danny + jazz hands = Major Entertainment!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Little Danny:

That is exactly it, RRNov63. The flip of the "Song for my Father" I played is actually totally garage-y
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Little Danny:

These jazz hands are just a blur right now
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...said that a lot of Rawkabilly tracks - you had older Jazzbos playing & some punk upstart delinquent singing - all trying to jump Elvis' market or something...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm
coelacanth∅:

Danny it sounds like it - spin painting... but not one of those cheap ones like what i got for christmas one year (not that i wasn't extremely Thankful for it and loved it anyway) but like the ones at the county fair that spin really fast and the paper's very smooth and the colors all blend really beautifully...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Nice trio. Musicians really - together.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm

Beautiful, thank you coel

I know it's a cliché, but Giant Steps is my favorite Coltrane

Why not Scraps. He's a Composer as much as anything.
Avatar 11:18pm
geezerette:

Hey Scraps!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...in fact it's noted you kind of have to slow it down to hear how crafted each phrase is. Where to go from there? One of the Giants, indeed, whose steps are fascinating to chart...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Little Danny:

Gotta buncha shorter songs this set, might be off the comments for a bit
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
