Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 23, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Friday 8 - 9am (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Hey, Mason! Will be nice to hear you live instead of our usual rendezvouses in the archives.

Hi, I just noticed this show isn't set for the whole time. I guess I should email Rebecca again.

Thanks very much for being able to dive in at the last minute like this.

Oh, and: yay, Tom Waits!

Mr Fab:

Mr. Waits hasn’t released an album since 2011?! Just looked that up the other day, and couldn’t believe it had been that long. So I guess he’s basically retired? He’s never issued any statement one way or another
Avatar 8:06pm
Mr Fab:

↳ MHLee @8:04
Wow! Wonder how much it went for? Sheena’s own Bob Barth is one of those striking writers.

NME just reported he's back to writing music

No way. I wonder what he’s been doing the last 12 years.

Hi Aitch, this is very free-form show but I'm sure there's stuff you may enjoy in this run

Thanks, Aitch, it was fun.

I’ll be doing another fill in this Thursday, though noon to three Eastern might be too early for you to catch live.

I love this band

They just did the soundtrack to an indie horror film

Freeform fine with me, so far your list making perfect sense to these scrambled brains
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:37pm
MHLee:

↳ Song: "Don't You Like My Money" by "Ambarian"
This album is odd because it's full of musical callbacks to the Chocolate Watchband with one Beatleseque track in the middle
Avatar 8:51pm
Mr Fab:

↳ MHLee @8:37
Must check this out.

↳ Song: "Butterfly Child" by "Daryl Hooper & The Seeds"
Calling yourself “the seeds“ without Sky Saxon is a bit questionable, but I guess if this guy actually was in the seeds he figures he has the right.

Abbreviation! SCOMRA should fit no prob.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:03pm

Yeah, that's true... Hooper was the keyboards... but the song would sound better with Sky

I actually interviewed this band

Not a release I expected in 2023 but am happy for it

Saxophone playing is a lost art. It used to be everywhere in music, but I think it’s just too difficult to play. It’s easier to push buttons.

Oh, I was going to ask you the question! I can't do it myself, it seems. Where can I send you the tracklist - Slack or here?

Apparently, Hunter S. Thompson was a huge fan of Japanese taiko drums. So much so that a big band of Japanese drummers were invited to play at his funeral.

So, just imagine you are at Hunter S. Thompson's funeral.
