	♥ 7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ neveract @7:02 hello...

	♥ 7:19pm DJ Peter: Shiroishi has a new single out on Sub Pop... which raises the spectre of me being able to find a Patrick Shiroishi album at SeaTac airport next time I pass through...

	♥ 7:38pm tom tom the pipers son: wendy eisenberg and caroline davis too...showing off their lady smarts and their skills doing an avant roches thing, for lack of a better phrase, but a hybrid i have not heard before... they were a good comedy team too
	♥ 7:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:38 "avant roches" sounds awesome
	♥ 7:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:43 they sang very precise harmonies
	♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: Wait did Sheldon just sing "my hair is up in the skies"?
	♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: a funny side note...saw eisenberg eating mexican food before show. when it was their turn to perform, davis was left by herself humoring the audience, while wendy was in the bathroom. then on top of that, chair eisenberg was using was making 'funny' squeaking noises
	♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 more like "funky"
	♥ 7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 ah, yes, but she took it in stride...
	♥ 7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Lover" by "Art Tatum" enjoyed that haven't heard art tatum in a long time
	8:02pm asheville jon: 42 in the same program
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: I'm planning on playing a four-movement Isang Yun Symphony in the coming weeks... do folks think it would be better to split the movements across a couple weeks, or hear all 42 minutes together the way Classical Radio would do? (that was the poll question, for those joining the chat late)
	♥ 8:04pm TDK60: A full piece can sometimes really catch you in its journey. 42 min.
	♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: Hey C-Lo!
	♥ 8:07pm tom tom the pipers son: i'd say all of it, it's a three hour show, so why not...
	♥ 8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 Does the fact that it's a two-hour show affect your preference?
	♥ 8:08pm Bobby: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 heh!
	♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: Not being snarky... The Laughing Clock understands how time flies! How are you today, Bobby! Thanks for checking in.
	♥ 8:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 oh right, solo comes on at nine, well, really was just thinking on your behalf... if i were in your shoes i'd split it then, since it's in movements
	♥ 8:11pm Bobby: ↳ DJ Peter @8:09 Hi Peter. Happy to be here. Sometimes lurker, probably first time commenter. I know tom tom from interacting on about 8 other shows
	♥ 8:12pm DJ Peter: Lurk if that's the vibe... that said, I'm glad to know when y'all are here in real time
	♥ 8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bobby @8:11 hello pals-y
	🕰 8:13pm kwatts: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 I would vote to hear all four movements together.
	♥ 8:13pm Bobby: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 Evening tom tom!
	♥ 8:14pm tom tom the pipers son: second half of evening shows usually start at ten on gtds, that's how i was mistaken
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Peter: Yeah but no one wants to ask Solo Mon to wait... who knows WHAT will happen?
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm coelacanth∅: there's a wfmu show host (maybe on one of the present schedules, maybe not) that at one time had a regular 2-hour show...someone i'm quite fond of; so not dissing him! but he'd occasionally mention how he's apprehensive about playing long tracks because he only has 2 hours. he'd talk about this extensively, and was extremely verbose in general; and repeated himself sometimes 3-4 times in the course of every mic break! ...couldn't help but think he had plenty of time to play long tracks!
	♥ 8:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:16 either he or greg might go awol
	♥ 8:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:18 That's my fear too.
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:17 I sometimes wish for a third hour but I kinda like the way two hours "concentrates" things.
	🕰 ♥ 8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:18 Amok With Out Leave?!
	🕰 ♥ 8:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:22 i'm not sure anout your show; but there are definitely some shows that are better at 2 hours. especially high-energy shows. doesn't matter how good they are. (in fact sometimes makes me appreciate them more...like a single fine chocolate truffle over of a big russell stover bunny)
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm coelacanth∅: (to be sure; i'd enjoy the russell stover bunny; but i'd prefer the fine truffle)
	♥ 8:31pm DJ Peter: Even if you love the bunny, more is harder to be "present" for -- I completely agree
	♥ 8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:22 yes
	♥ 8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:21 u huh
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Yusef's Mood" by "Yusef Lateef" No big deal, just a rhythm section of Kenny Barron, Bob Cunningham, and Tootie Heath.
	8:44pm Dean: Longer and shorter programming. I get the conundrum. Many years ago, KPFK, the Pacifica station in LA had a four-hour opera show, hosted by Fred Hiatt (Hyatt?). It was a joy, every Sunday morning. Fred would feature excerpts from recitals, but also entire opera performances. I donated in part because Fred's show was so special. Then the station hired an idiot for a GM, a guy who equated quality radio with ROI...even at a non-profit. Of course, the Opera Show couldn't carry its weight. Four hours of air time did not deliver 1/42 of a week's fundraiser quota. So he cut the show to two hours, and later to one. What a monumental dick.
	8:44pm Dean: And now the goddamn cat is perched on my stack of Grateful Dead box sets!
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:44 An actual cat, right? Not that KPFK GM?
	8:46pm Dean: An actual cat. He wasn't a cat. He was a pussy.
	♥ 8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:45 repeating 'nevermore'
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:46 Back in the day, we'd say: "the KPFK GM is a JAMF"!
	♥ 8:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:44 i like the poe echo in this scenario
	8:50pm Dean: I don't recall Poe ever using the epithet "monumental dick," but I suppose he might have.
	♥ 8:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:50 that's in the unexpurgated 'the raven' ...last line
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm doctorjazz: Looks like a cool playlist, catch up. Tomorrow!
	♥ 8:59pm TDK60: Thanks, Peter.
	8:59pm Dean: Mark Schubb. That was the MD GM.
	♥ 9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter...
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody!
	🕰 ♥ 9:32pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 11:18am doctorjazz: Monday Morning Quaterback time: Cool show! (interesting that Dutch Radio broadcasts in English-did get to see Bennink a few times with Willem Breuker, he's a character). I usually avoid RSD (hate the crowds, usually hours waiting to even get into the stores near me). Nice stuff available, though; the Tatum, Frisell, Waldron/Lacy, Sun Ra, Sanchez (surprised me a bit), Lateef jump out). Thanks, Peter! (I sent some Herbie Nichols, Love Gloom Cash Love, and versions of Nichols' music by Buell Neidlinger and Ben Allison, to a few DJs. Let me know if you'd like me to send them. Also have some live recordings that might be of interest). Oh, and I vote for full pieces (if I'm still allowed to vote)
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Listener Gregory: From the future: No, Peter, I do NOT sing along with Don Pullen like a child. What an idea. I whistle along, like a responsible adult. And let me tell you, I add a few flourishes that George Adams might be proud of.
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm Listener Gregory: I realize that the future might be too late to vote in your survey, but here's my vote. I would strongly prefer to hear the compositions as a whole. Yes, you might lose a few listeners, but that is the joy of free form radio. And you would be doing full justice to the work.

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from April 14, 2024

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.

	♥ 8:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:50 that's in the unexpurgated 'the raven' ...last line
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm doctorjazz: Looks like a cool playlist, catch up. Tomorrow!
	♥ 8:59pm TDK60: Thanks, Peter.
	8:59pm Dean: Mark Schubb. That was the MD GM.
	♥ 9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter...
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody!
	🕰 ♥ 9:32pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 11:18am doctorjazz: Monday Morning Quaterback time: Cool show! (interesting that Dutch Radio broadcasts in English-did get to see Bennink a few times with Willem Breuker, he's a character). I usually avoid RSD (hate the crowds, usually hours waiting to even get into the stores near me). Nice stuff available, though; the Tatum, Frisell, Waldron/Lacy, Sun Ra, Sanchez (surprised me a bit), Lateef jump out). Thanks, Peter! (I sent some Herbie Nichols, Love Gloom Cash Love, and versions of Nichols' music by Buell Neidlinger and Ben Allison, to a few DJs. Let me know if you'd like me to send them. Also have some live recordings that might be of interest). Oh, and I vote for full pieces (if I'm still allowed to vote)
	🕰 ♥ 6:41pm Listener Gregory: From the future: No, Peter, I do NOT sing along with Don Pullen like a child. What an idea. I whistle along, like a responsible adult. And let me tell you, I add a few flourishes that George Adams might be proud of.
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm Listener Gregory: I realize that the future might be too late to vote in your survey, but here's my vote. I would strongly prefer to hear the compositions as a whole. Yes, you might lose a few listeners, but that is the joy of free form radio. And you would be doing full justice to the work.
