WFMU: The Avant Ghetto with Jeff Conklin: Playlist from March 23, 2015

Listener comments!
	3:02am Eiderdown: Morning Jeff! It's been awhile…just pledged too. A bit late but hey...
	3:07am Jeff Conklin: Thanks so much, Adam.
	3:20am Jeff Conklin: Rough start this morning. Switching studios is still tricky for me
	3:27am Eiderdown: We are a forgiving bunch…plus it's late, we are all half asleep anyway right?
	♥ 3:37am coelacanth: olá jeff and dirigibles
	3:40am Jeff Conklin: sup, coel
	3:41am mauri: Morning Jeff and everyone. Sounding good
	3:44am P-90: Morning DJ Jeff, coel, and everyone. A most enjoyable show, right from the top.
	3:44am Jeff Conklin: hey, mauri
	3:45am Jeff Conklin: Hey, P, thanks.
	♥ 3:53am coelacanth: P-90 heyhey i think i convinced 1 & maybe 2 people tonight to check out wfmu. the one dude was like "i think we can all agree that rock is dead,right?" I was like, "NO!!!"
	3:57am Jeff Conklin: I usually say rock is dead, actually.
	4:06am pierre: Bonjour Jeff ! I didn't want to wake up and see 99%, I want to see the little blowing his horn !
	4:08am Jeff Conklin: you don't see 99, pierre, you see 95 :(
	♥ 4:15am coelacanth: it's not. it's just suspended in the mix. rock includes all "metal" & "punk"... "krautrock" & "alternative rock". ...one listen to Diane's kamakaze fun machine;Brian Turner's show; Martha's show or "infinite disortion" and it's obvious that rock is not dead. yes,the grateful dead died several decades ago...(to some degree when Pigpen died- & certainly DONE after "Blues for Allah")- but "rock" is a broad term.
	♥ 4:16am b k: Such a great Dark Star.
	4:18am Jeff Conklin: There is plenty of rock music out there for sure. 99.9 percent of it is terrible and not worth my time. But that's just me ;)
	4:18am Jeff Conklin: One of my faves, BK
	4:18am P-90: Hey, it's Dark Star, usually won't hear that on FMU, in the daytime anyway. Yeah, unfortunately Rock seems pretty dead these days. Whatever one thought of Rock in the eighties, it was certainly still "alive" then. Then it sort of faded away in the nineties. Whatever "Pop" is since then, it's not based on Rock. there may be some great revival at some point, but for now, Rock has sadly sorta run it's course.
	4:19am Jeff Conklin: nobody talk during this jam coming up
	♥ 4:21am coelacanth: ...but this is mind music!
	4:23am Jeff Conklin: All I'm saying is don't send people here to prove rock isn't dead because it won't help yr argument!
	4:23am Jeff Conklin: THIIIIIIIS PAAAAARRRTTTT ARGHHHH
	4:30am Eiderdown: Someone dump a put of coffee on Jeff…he's stuck in SPACE!
	4:30am Eiderdown: Excuse me, a "Pot" of coffee
	♥ 4:32am coelacanth: i'm not arguing. i know i'm right. anyone who thinks such things is not paying attention. "rock" has never been the majority of music; and it still isn't. "doesn't mean it's dead.
	4:33am Jeff Conklin: chill, coel. nobody trying to change yr mind!
	4:35am P-90: wowee! That was good.
	♥ 4:36am b k: I once saw a list of the 100 best Dark Stars.I hope that one was on the list.(even the less great one's are worth hearing, I think)
	♥ 4:37am coelacanth: someone at the bar tonight (the first time i've been out drinking in months) played "good lovin'" from the reissue of Bear's Choice....so this show is perfect right now. ...and to you as well,Jeff-my comrade...chill.
	4:39am P-90: @coel: not to be too contrary, but what you hear on Diane, Martha, etc., how much of the good stuff was done in the last 10-15 years? And of the stuff that is recent, how much of it is really fresh and not a rehash?
	4:42am Jeff Conklin: nobody into this Skousen jam??
	4:44am P-90: I would be curious to know if that was on the "100 Best" list. It was killer, that's how they sounded on a good night. At their best they could improvise an accelerando like that like no one else.
	4:45am Jeff Conklin: I think I've heard every publicly available Dark Star. That one is in my top 5.
	4:45am P-90: I give Skousen thumbs up, for whatever it's worth
	♥ 4:47am b k: These tracks are a perfect fit with that Dark Star.
	♥ 4:47am coelacanth: this whole set has been sublime.
	♥ 4:53am coelacanth: P-90 there's lots of good new music. the overwhelming majority would not be considered "rock"...and there's certainly nowhere near the amount of great "rock" music as during the renaissance (60s-70s)....but there's enough fresh sound qualifying to say "rock is not dead".
	♥ 4:56am coelacanth: ....what hasn't been rehashed? "heartbreak hotel" was a rehash. "louie louie" was a rehash.
	5:00am Eiderdown: I'm staying out of this one. But ya know, nothing dies…it just mutates in all sorts of wonderful ways...
	5:10am Eiderdown: Okay, it mutates in some pretty awful ways too but hopefully natural selection takes care of those freaks :)
	5:13am Eiderdown: Digging the Liliental to Toulouse segue!
	♥ 5:15am coelacanth: Eiderdown, it does! the masses are weak and the corporations capitalise on that. the majority of music has always sucked and the ratio has gradually gotten worse. the thing is - as long as there are people with the sensibilities for this program; and Bryce's show; and Stan's and Chris M.'s and Jesse J.'s (etc)..."rock" cannot die. - because as people appreciate it music will be borne out of it. -music made for the passion not for the money or fame. i know people who make music for this reason.
	5:18am Mark: Thank God we don't live in the mainstream.
	♥ 5:19am coelacanth: aho
	5:24am Eiderdown: I can't get enough Ariel Kalma these days!
	♥ 5:30am coelacanth: that was beautiful! i never heard it before.
	5:31am DeadMan: Rock is dead. Radio is dead. Baking is dead. Marriage is dead. Calligraphy is dead. Chamber music is dead. Classical music is dead. Segways have redefined the world of transportation. TV is dead. Movies are dead. The only true music comes from Japanese avant grade artists screaming into vintage microphones while a dog barks.
	♥ 5:33am coelacanth: (i just believe in me...yoko and me.)
	5:33am DeadMan: Abe Vigoda is alive.
	5:33am Jeff Conklin: Im dead
	♥ 5:37am coelacanth: as long as Abe Vigoda,Cecil Taylor,Ornette Coleman and Nelson Mandela are still... oh,shit!
	5:40am Eiderdown: As a DJ, I second your distaste of clear vinyl as well, my friend
	5:43am Eiderdown: Gotta go to bed, ugh. Goodnight all and great set tonight Jeff!!
	5:43am fxo: morning, Jeff. You made it through the marathon! I'm a St. Stephen fan, myself.
	♥ 5:46am coelacanth: as a non-dj i also think clear vinyl is a pain-in-the-ass! (and i will now ★ dark ★ as well) ....Thank you Jeff -i'm out ciao people
	♥ 5:46am coelacanth: (ciao Eiderdown)
	5:47am Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Adam
	5:56am Jeff Conklin: hey fxo. i made it!
