12:17pm Chi Bill:

12:30pm northguineahills:

R.I.P. The Thermals

Heya JB!

12:39pm Parq:

Great show for us jangle-heads.

12:45pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Hey if yer gonna play jangle Joe, then there must be some early REM and The Feelies, right?

12:45pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

And Velvet Crush!

♥ 12:49pm Dominick:

hi hi hi

12:51pm northguineahills:

Sloan on Toddaphonic Todd, how awesome is that!??

12:51pm rw:

Hello! I was hearing, "warmstickyfeeling" which seemed creepier. Maybe not in a good way.

12:53pm HuskLife:

No cell phone?

12:54pm Claudia Lily:

hahaha that's what I thought he was singing too

12:54pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Working from home today, so much more time to cheat on work and come here. Hope my boss doesn't read this! Heh!

1:00pm Mikey_B:

i could listen to this interview all day.

1:00pm northguineahills:

Wow, I miss Bleeker Bob's

1:04pm KP:

I miss Manhattan. Is it still there

♥ 1:06pm steveo:

Walked the entire length of Bleecker Street in the 90s with my uncle looking for Bleecker Bob's and then we found out later it was on a side street, just off Bleecker.

@KP I'm in Manhattan right now. The answer is no, it's gone.

1:08pm northguineahills:

@steveo: Used to work near there. Stopped in frequently. (record buying, it's a helluva drug!)

1:08pm KP:

I figured, steveo. thanks

1:09pm rw:

Wow. The Trypes sounds SO much like The Feelies. Looking forward to the back announce to hear the history.

1:13pm northguineahills:

what rw said....

1:13pm John L:

Makes me think of the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper.“There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will.” ...

🎸

♥ 1:13pm Hughie Considine:

Feverish deliriums were a staple of many a New Jersey childhood circa. the 1970s. This is fascinating!

🎸

♥ 1:15pm Brian C.:

Will any stores in northern NJ be participating in record store day? I'd love to get the special Yung Wu stuff

🎸

♥ 1:15pm Hughie Considine:

From "1984": "Everything had exploded into yellow light. Inconceivable, inconceivable that one blow could cause such pain!

1:20pm Parq:

KP, Manhattan is still here, to the extent it was when you left. Practically nothing left but the architecture.

♥ 1:20pm Mick:

This interview is making my day, the bits I'm able to catch - will definitely go back and catch the full thing on the archive later. Thank you Dave and John and Joe!

1:25pm Woo:

Diamond Head by Manzanera needs a re-issue. Another Eno gem on there is Miss Shapiro.

1:25pm northguineahills:

Dave and John make great interviewees! (and joe a great interviewer).

🎸

♥ 1:27pm Hughie Considine:

I agree @Woo. And the live version on the 801 Live Lp is spine-tingling.

🎸

♥ 1:32pm Hoboken Jack:

@Brian C: Many NJ stores are participating, but you never know which special releases they have till you arrive (part of the fun). You can see the stores here:
www.recordstoreday.com...

1:37pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Great show Joe! It brings back memories of borrowing my parents’ car to see the Feelies or visit Pier Platters when I was in HS.

1:38pm Mikey_B:

wow, is this live yung wu tape in the public domain?

1:39pm McGreivey:

@Brian C - probably Tunes (Hoboken, Northfield, Marlton, Voorhees), Vintage Vinyl (Fords) are good bets.

1:41pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

@McGrievy Vintage Vinyl is celebrating RSD. Ditto w/Scotty’s in downtown Summit.

1:42pm Tim 07030:

The mention of John Courage on tap just filled me with Maxwell’s 1990s nostalgia.

♥ 1:44pm Jeezy:

I WAS AT THE FELT FORUM SHOW! I was just a kid. It was absolutely incredible.

1:45pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

My first live rock concert w/o my parents was REM & the Feelies in Nov 1986 @ the Felt Forum. My HS pals & I were really intrigued by the opening band. We were hooked.

♥ 1:46pm Jeezy:

The Feelies were great. I feel like Peter Buck or someone may have joined them for a song? Michael Stipe came out with a top hat, long coat, all covered up and proceeded to FREAK OUT. They were phenomenal... R.E.M were such a n important band in the 80's...

1:49pm Sir Slouch:

The Original Sins opened for the Kinks unannounced at the Tower Theatre, and from what I heard, didn't get that bad of a reaction.

1:52pm SeanG:

i <3 feelies

1:54pm northguineahills:

what SeanG said (I evidently have little original content to add today.)

♥ 1:56pm Michael 98145:

Woo @!

1:58pm northguineahills:

Wu!

🎸

♥ 1:59pm Ken From Hyde Park:

W00!

2:00pm John L:

Great Skids cover!!! Is this still available?

2:01pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

This show is a reminder that NJ was a great place to be raised in.

2:03pm northguineahills:

I'm a huge Feelies fan, so I must have been living under a rock, or suffered a telenovela amnesia spell, b/c I don't know Yung Wu or the Trypes. Thanks Joe for this enlightening interview w/ Dave y John!

2:04pm northguineahills:

(great Beatles cover)

2:06pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

I read about The Feelies in the Star Ledger. Glad I did!

2:06pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

I saw the Feelies open for REM in Shea's Theatre in Buffalo in 86. It was awesome!

2:07pm Aaron Working In Newark:

Such a great show today.. Love The Feelies.

♥ 2:08pm Michael 98145:

What @ngh said. Never heard of those two other bands. Thank you!

2:08pm Tim from LH:

Dave does a great vocal on Child of The Moon also!

🎸

♥ 2:09pm Hoboken Jack:

Jeff, I was at one of those Felt Forum shows as well, and my buddy and I were freaked out that the opening band had TWO drummers, one of them sitting on the floor.

2:11pm KP:

Seeing the Feelies at Maxwells convinced us to move to city. It didnt last long after that.

2:12pm Rob from NM:

a song covered from the one-sided Beatle album, now we just need a song from the 3 sided Johnny Winter album.

2:13pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Really enjoying, Joe!

2:13pm northguineahills:

...errr didn't know (no hablo ingles, aparentemente)

Speed The Plough, new to me, and digdug!

2:14pm northguineahills:

I think we should take up Rob from NM's challenge!

2:16pm Rob from NM:

I dunno, my ideas tend to be bad, stupid or dangerous.

2:17pm northguineahills:

meh, I'm full of bad ideas, and I carry them out (at least the missus would agree).

2:17pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Be careful looking up Speed the Plough on allmusic...I got hit with a Chrome warning somebody was trying to steal my bank information!

2:33pm John L:

I demand Yung Wu play in Kingston, NY!!! You played up here in 2013.

♥ 2:34pm Michael 98145:

:)

loving this
