Morning, Bob, just flew in from ND and boy are his arms tired. (thanks for the mp3, btw!)
  10:09am ndbob:

You are welcome. No doubt the only Northern soul record that you can hear Paul Simon on.
  10:10am Katya Oddio:

Morning! When reading the writeup, I hoped Del Close would land in the mix. Told good ole Basic Hip to tune in for this one.
  10:10am Gary Mitchell:

  10:13am ndbob:

You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies by Dana Valery

  10:14am charlie:

Burton Cummings, hipster flute player!
  10:15am ndbob:

Who is Sergio Franchi's sister btw,
  10:15am Gary Mitchell:

Brian Wilson was a big fan of the Del Close and John Brent LP, but you probably already mentioned that.
  10:17am charlie:

I didn't know that Gary! But the Wind Chimes song is exactly about getting "hung up" on looking at "things," as Del and John described.
  10:20am ndbob:

I didn't know that either Gary.
  10:21am don:

yo, charlie! breakin hip!
  10:22am Gary Mitchell:

OMG!! Pulsallama! Long live Anne Magnuson! Long time fave 45.
  10:25am charlie:

Yes, Gary
Hi Don! Having a good morning, I Trust...
  10:25am charlie:

I saw them live, Katya, 1981 or 2, opening for the Clash, in Asbury Park, NJ!
  10:25am Brian C.:

Chaz, if you could post the Pulsallama mp3 somehow, I'd really dig it--I just checked for it on iTunes (squaresville, I know) and they didn't have it
  10:26am ndbob:

This is great!
  10:26am charlie:

A girl from my high school was in this band, btw...
  10:29am Katya Oddio:

Charlie, no way! Excellent. Brian, the song is all over the web. Here's one spot: http://www.lastdaysofmanonearth.com/blog/?p=244 They are on Facebook, too.
  10:30am Katya Oddio:

Pulsallama or the Go-Gos?
  10:31am Brian C.:

Katya, thanks, I found it--been a long time since I heard that track!
  10:32am charlie:

Pulsallama -- damn lag time on these comments!
  10:33am Katya Oddio:

Which lady, Charlie? They were all so cool. Anne is still at it. She makes me laugh on Facebook. LOVE this set, said the old lady punk who can't sing along. Tonsilitis.
  10:37am Katya Oddio:

"I'm a mummy"
  10:38am charlie:

She called herself "Bubbles." Yes, Ms. Magnuson still rocks it. Dig her album The Luv Show. Rest your voice, K.O.
  10:44am glenn:

hey drummer, i'm loving the pakistani instrumental stuff.
  10:45am Drummer Some:

Innat stuff great, Glenn?! Glad you like.
  10:47am charlie:

  10:48am Drummer Some:

Charlie, Glenn is listening to an item that I linked to in my weekly e-Newsletter.
  10:49am glenn:

i'm not sure if i have enough memory left to do the chess box set though. nope. i'm listening to the pakistani instrumental stuff that doug recommended for download. he's just a big old enabler.
  10:52am ndbob:

Those Pakistani instrumentals are great.
  10:53am ndbob:

As is the Azerbaijani film music Doug recommended.
  10:53am charlie:

OK, thanks for the clarification! Not that I don't dig a good Pakistani instrumental myself...
  10:57am glenn:

i kinda like the way the cheesy farfisa works with the tabla and the other traditional instruments.
  10:58am ndbob:

Indeed Glenn.
  10:59am ndbob:

Great show Charlie! I'll catch the first hour on the archive.
  11:00am charlie:

  11:00am Arthur:

COUSIN CHARLES: Love the show (have not listened in some time)! Hope all is well. Arthur
  11:00am Gary Mitchell:

The critics all agreed, this show was better than "The Monster That Devoured Cleveland."
  11:01am Michael:

Thanks Charlie!
  11:02am charlie:

Wow, hey, Arthur! Thanks, Gary, Michael, all. "Keep cool, but care"...
  11:02am glenn:
