Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from January 24, 2025 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Same here. Taking a look at the Quincy Jones album and there are two songs from Hair on that album but the song that stuck with me was that version of Killer Joe.

Hi Bronwyn, fellow AJH listeners. I'm very late to the show tonight, mainly due to some major fuckup on the E/F/M/R lines to Queens. I thought I heard the conductor say something about a passenger being shoved on to the tracks, but I may have misheard it.

I don't want to be pedantic, but if you can get into a vessel and fly around in it, it is no longer "unidentified." You've totally identified it.
And maybe I DO want to be pedantic... what's it to ya?

Now the song might be titled "We're Going UAP-ing." Which doesn't rhyme and sounds nasty.

@Dan S, why not just IFO-ing?

Maybe. On the other hand, I've gotten on airplane flights and if you asked me the make/model of the plane, i wouldn't know. So perhaps being onboard doesn't mean that the craft has been identified. :-)

That might make an interesting episode of AJH, Bronwyn. Or, more generally, weird outsider versions of show tunes.
