Boy, did I show up at the right time! If southern rock didn't suck, it'd be Drivin 'n Cryin!

This child of the 70's will always have a soft spot for Southern Rock. Greetings efd and funksters all.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Of course, in a sense, 'Southern Rock' is redundant - because it was born there (like most American music). I love Son Volt & a lot of Alt-Country - & R.E.M. is from Georgia...'cetera...

Hi efd & all! Sorry I'm late, moving in to new dog sitting gig so I'll be quietly listening via phone downstairs while unpacking and making dinner (or brinner, as it were from my perspective). Lilly the GSD and I are excited about the show.

Holly, what is meant by "brinner"?
Avatar 9:50pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

(brinner = dinner as 1st meal of the day or breakfast; not 'brunch' but 'brinner'...)
Avatar 9:50pm
Holly in NC:

breakfast + dinner. e.g., I've not anything but 2 liters of water & tea & some wee snacks today, which is not advised, but was 1 of those days.

john:

jon astley was also pete townshend's brother-in-law, which may have opened a door or two in the '70s when his production career got going
  9:52pm
JakeGould:

@Holly: If it’s any consolation/commiseration I had some fairly horrible stomach/back issues for the past few days and I think I ate one meal a day for 2 days in a row with tons of water and that’s it… Some honey and molasses mixed in a few times. So hey… It’s not the best plan but every now and then we all have reasons to be on some extreme diet.

Sybil:

I have just installed Shazam on my laptop tonight, and it's so far only caught two songs. This one (I don't mind at all) being the second. For real, Shazam?

Of course, I'm probably confusing it by also having the baseball game from Chavez Ravine on at the same time...

Oh, yoyo :(


OK< now it's caught the next song. That's more like it.
  11:29pm
cheri:

i hope you have a great week evan!

... and now it's identified a new song which isn't playing at all, while the former song is still on. ???

I LOVE Dancing Hoods' 12 Jealous Roses lp - "Surfing All Over the World" is an especially great track. Yeah, Sparklehorse, who could see that coming?!

Noted absences:

Wire
Fishbone
Love and Rockets
The Wonderstuff
Julian Cope
De La Soul
PWEI
PiL
Echo and the Bunnymen
Jesus and Mary Chain

even Scruffy the Cat (my baby she's alright)

I'm sure there are others...is there another show planned?

Some of these acts were like glue that cemented the rest of these lesser-knowns together in the rotation, and allowed them to float. IMHO, this is a very pallid set. You need to pepper the 'bigger' alt acts in to have this playlist make any sense.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:01pm
efd:

I don't expect that Mr. Vapor will be returning to this page, but here's a brief response nonetheless.

1. Murcuryvapor is certainly entitled to his opinion, and clearly if he were going to do a couple of shows saluting WHTG he would choose different artists/songs from the ones that I and the two former WHTG DJs chose. That's fine, but I stand by our selections.
2. One of the points of this show and the first one that I did in May was to highlight the many great "lesser-knowns" that I used to hear on WHTG. I'm pretty sure murcuryvapor didn't actually listen to the show, because if he had that would have been clear and he wouldn't have said something as silly as "You need to pepper the 'bigger' alt acts in to have this playlist make any sense."
3. I played a Wonder Stuff song on the first WHTG tribute show we did in May.
4. There isn't a part 3 planned at the moment, but if and when there is a part 3 I guarantee that it will be equally free of "glue."
