Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 21, 2025 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

That's why we included a "sample program" - something the DJ think is a good representative - in the Schedule listing. That link to a program predates the now 25 year old archive system and some newer DJ's don't have a sample linked in.

i jinxed myself. i said this week on the boards i hadn't slipped on ice in 20+ years (ok, 22, but only i am counting), and i just found a great long piece of ice, and slip. thankfully, i have a diet high in calcium, barely a contusion (still 'ouching')

Sondheim was embarrassed about a few of the lyrics - like America was too clever fro Maria and her pals to sing. And he really did want the jets to say "Fuck You!" to Officer Krupke, but you know what? "Krup You" is funnier!

I expect two slips per winter. Today I was snowshoeing and stepped on one shoe while walking, landing face-down. Fortunately, it was face-down in the snow.

I heard the Brubeck Quartet in college, and I remember being put off by his bombastic playing in spots but loving Desmond.
