Morning, Mike. Jett Brando sounds cool.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:02am
fred:

Good morning Mike. I'm a little worried about your email announcing this show: "no booze", what does that mean?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:04am
Mike Sin:

@Fred -- well, most of these fill-ins are liquor fueled. Not this one! Hey Mark R.
  6:05am
Mark R.:

Are you referring to the fact that you won't be consuming alcohol during a 6 am Sunday morning broadcast? I'm turning you off then. "Castles Made of Sand" is one of my favorite Hendrix tunes. I love the quieter, more contemplative ones--you never hear them, for one thing. I think "Axis" is generally overlooked a little bit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:08am
Mike Sin:

@Mark R -- don't go!
  6:08am
Mark R.:

"Hot Wacks" is a great title. This is one of John's best tunes, I think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:09am
fred:

I take it that the "no booze" rule only applies to the DJ. I can listen then
  6:10am
Mark R.:

Your substance consumption or lack thereof has no bearing on my listening intentions--I'm sure I've listened to many wonderful programs where the DJ was drunk/stoned. And I've heard some terrible ones where they weren't on anything and maybe should have been. I'm only interested in the tune-age. And so far, so good!

Personally, my drug of choice is caffeine. I'm in no position to judge anyone.

@fred -- Yes, my rules only apply to myself in this case!

I was at Yair Yona's show yesterday -- it was great -- and at some point he talked about playing on WFMU, which he described as being both a radio station and a community. I liked that
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:19am
Mike Sin:

@fred - WFMU is essentially a community driven by passion!
  6:22am
Mark R.:

It's an insane asylum with the inmates firmly in command.

Love all these obscure tracks by these very famous bands--well, they're obscure to me.

@MarkR.: oh - Axis & Odessey aren't obscure to me !

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I like to say there are a few FMU-Js who could basically produce a new Volume of 'Nuggets' on demand!...
  6:35am
Mark R.:

No, I wasn't referring to "Axis"--but the Zombies, Yes and Animals tracks were all new to me! You always hear something you've never heard before on FMU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:36am

@RevRab: sure, but the mike breaks make it even better. It's like ever renewed liner notes

"way back in 2006" after a set rooted in the 60's.
I was kicked out of my first high school band for laughing when the leader pretended his own compositions were Beatles bootlegs

That Dukes track was a cracker - going to have to find that - wonder if it would be possible to lay hands on that compilation, sounds really interesting.

You can't buy better sandpaper!

pallet cleanse would be steel eye span or songs from the wood or go back to yYES and do I see You and then sleep Night all

Mark R.:

Mike, enjoyed your show today. I just started doing some fill-ins over the summer. I know it can be sort of challenging to fill someone else's time slot, but I think you do it right--you can only be yourself, and you pick out some great tracks. A nice way to spend Sunday morning. (If you're up insanely early Saturday, I'll be filling in for DJ Stashu from 3-6. i have a "Safe As Milk" CD that came out in 1999--it's got some nice bonus tracks, but I honestly can't tell you whether it's the stereo or mono mix. Sounds pretty good to me, anyway.

Chiming in on the Alice Cooper Reflected vs. Elected note: I definitely think Elected was a reworking of Reflected. No proof or documentation, but that's my 2 cents.
