Hope your bench is comfortable (a metaphor?)7:04am : Unreal is good! Reality is far more black and white..!
morning annie!7:06am : friends of the UK: hope things have calmed down a bit.7:06am : Manchester weather sucks; but not today :)7:09am : i carry a cushion with me fxo, built-in! morning kitty!7:11am : When did Chandler die?7:12am : Nice to hear that Marmalade Kitty! We have a grey paving slab of cloud hovering overhead down here in Brighton at the mo.... looking forward to some Toy Story clouds later! Hey Frank, what d'ya know?!7:14am : sorry T, recently.7:16am : It has calmed down here in UK somewhat, thanks fxo. Although next weeks NottingHill carnival is at risk of being cancelled :( due to the recent unrest..7:17am : All calm on the Western front, Frank.7:20am : as long the satellite's back. We shoulda put new batteries in.7:20am : This week Nottng Hill carnival, I should say.. Thursday til Monday Bank holiday weekend. The carnival has always had a history of civillian - police hostility7:25am : @fxo: That must have been sudden. He had tour dates scheduled for the year. Couldn't find a single obit on Google. That's really sad.7:25am : Re the recent UK mobs on the streets ;
http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/11151/1/live-magazine-robbie-wojciechowski7:35am : Hi pmp, TZ..! good accurate article, thanks7:38am : Article? Oh! You mean postmanpaul. Hi! (Was going to link you to a weather web cam from the local news for here, but it was too burned out this time of day as it faces directly into the sunrise.)7:38am : Unless I'm mistaken,with Gene Chandler (Eugene Dixon)7:39am : fxo: I searched Eugene Dixon also, but still nothing.7:42am : then, I sit corrected...7:44am : fxo, no problem. I was just surprised, because he still performs often in Chicago and I couldn't even find anything in the Chicago Tribune.7:45am : Joe McGasko made a tribute set forGene Chandler7:47am : So sorry, Joe McGasko made a tribute set for Eugene McDaniels, not Gene Chandler..7:51am : Yeah. I remember asking him about his death when he said he'd died. But at the time I didn't do a search.7:53am : Ah ha, you blinked Michael..!7:53am : no problem, we can communicate truth, as we know it.8:02am : @Marmalade Kitty - You're welcome, and a question: why oh why do we not have a radio station with an 'equivalent' wfmu philosophy, here in the UK? Is it because we have less of a reactionary 'attitude' towards, say, the type of Commercial radio prevalent in the States?
Resonance fm, out of London, comes close with this mandate:
...'the world’s first radio art station' with a brief to provide a radical alternative to the universal formulae of mainstream broadcasting. That's cool, but not as cool as what fxo and the gang are getting up to :)
@ fxo - the Michael Cain piece was from a televised 'actors workshop', broadcast here a couple of years ago. Inspired stuff, hearing that appear behind W Allen, fxo :)
But if I was catching that from elsewhere, ignore what I've just said!8:02am : I just think it's so sad that there was no obituary. I remember listening to the Duke of Earl (his big and maybe only hit) when I was in grade school.8:04am : gang, the jury's still out.8:08am : @postmanpaul: You will all probably cringe, but the only thing I regularly listen to out of the UK is The Friendly Garden with Chris Needs.8:10am : Eugene McDaniels wrote "Compared To What" & "Feel Like Makin' Love" R.I.P.
There will be stuff next week,8:14am : "Beyond The Cringe"? sorry, bad pun.8:17am : Oh shit! So sorry! I've been talking about the wrong person.
You've been saying Eugene McDaniels but I was thinking Gene Chandler (aka Eugene Dixon). My humblest apology.8:17am : @T-Zero - wosthatall'bout then?!8:18am : And, wosthatall'bout then?! :)8:22am : @postmanpaul: Chris Needs? It's a call-in show on BBC Wales. It's kind of lame, actually. I'd think it would draw the same listener group as Art Linkletter. but I just like his demeanor.8:23am : not to forget Diane Linklater...8:25am : space between Link and Later.8:29am : heh. And not to mention Richard Linklater8:32am : Richard, a gifted filmmaker, but he's no Art.8:33am : A tad later here..but looks for another great Monday morning program..8:39am : @postmanpaul: Thats a big question. I'm as frustrated as you are. There's no reason why we should not have a station with the same freeform philosophy as wFMU, it is not impossible. The internet really opened the doors to the availability of alternative radio streaming. commercialism,has become much worse in the uk, the bbc is under threat..
38degrees.org.uk were instrumental in saving bbc 6music, i don't know if you've come across them.. A great non-political pressure group for all kinds of injustice in UK8:40am : Damn it. I did it again. I like Art Linkletter, especially Kids Say the Damndest Things, but I meant Chris Needs would probably appeal more to the Lawrence Welk group, but with a possibly more liberal bent.8:41am : someone's having a case of the Mondays....
HAY-O!8:42am : @Marmalade Kitty: I do listen to BBC6 once in a while, but not very often any more.8:43am : @hamburger: I'm having a case of insert shoe in mouth today for some reason.8:44am : the film "Radio Pirates" was interesting.
T: Lawrence Welk's family owns Vanguard (with Country Joe & The Fish, and others)8:45am : Ah. Didn't know that, fxo. I was thinking more of the old TV show audience.8:45am : I meant "Pirate Radio"8:49am : fxo: I never saw that. I think it was on movies on demand on cable for a while.8:56am : as always, thanks for hangin' in. We'll go back to Telstar. Have a sweet week.8:56am : Thx fxo-another great launch into the week- T8:56am : Thanks for the show, fxo. And again, sorry everyone for being such an idiot today.8:56am : Have a good week fxo. Great catching ya.8:57am : fun show fxo!9:02am : everybody's an idiot, at least once a day!
