Good afternoon Kurt. Please do what Cecile said.

Though does anything remain if one traktors the crap out of Neil Diamond?

KP:

Hey, Kurt. I am ... happy to be here.
Avatar 3:07pm
Droll:

Then let me be first to defend Neil! Few performers can attract three generations of fans who sing along every word. He's a jingle master.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
DCE:

his lack of eyeballs is a little creepy
Avatar 3:09pm
Cecile:

Droll, I know all of that, but I still don't like him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
fred:

@Droll: there's a guy over here in France who has the same cross generational appeal. He's such an embarrassment that his original country didn't want him back
Avatar 3:11pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

I want to see Richard Clayderman bludgeon Neil Diamond with Cliff Richard.
Avatar 3:11pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

THEN AND ONLY THEN will the messiah be born upon this earth.

Droll:

I admit he's an acquired taste, like stinky, runny cheese served for dessert. To each their own. I like both.
Avatar 3:14pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

i disliked neil for the longest time. it was listening to jonesy that i realized his mastery. hello, everyone!
Avatar 3:15pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

OK, then let's have Richard Clayderman bludgeoning Tony Orlando with Cliff Richard.
Avatar 3:15pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

Dammit, something needs to be hit with Cliff Richard.

fred:

@RTD: I nominate Nils Frahm. Aim for his hands, a few friends of mine would thank you
Avatar 3:18pm
Cecile:

I liked his stuff for other people. Then he started writing "important" songs and singing. Not a fan of those.

Mike East:

Jonesy has opened up my eyes to a lot of artists in that same way, Kurt.
Avatar 3:31pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

His is one of my favorite shows on the station, for seriously.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
Mike East:

Mine as well. He's got a way of speaking to the moment with his song selection. In my wife's wedding vows, she promised to dance with me to Glen Jones any sunday upon request....for the most part she's stuck to it.
Avatar 3:37pm
Cecile:

chopped and screwed. dig it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
fred:

Jonesy made me appreciate Sinatra. But now I only tune in for the banter, maybe a guess at which song will come right after. But it's too much of the same for me
Avatar 3:44pm
Cheri Pi:

She don't like his face, his voice, EVErYTHING!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:49pm
Mike East:

the banter is indeed reason enough to tune in. That X. Ray has quite the wit.
Avatar 3:49pm
Carmichael:

Hey Kurt, und aloha meinen Freunden. I don't know WTF is the big deal about Neil. He's on some bizarre *comeback* now among the urban hipsters. And you know what THEY'RE like ...
Avatar 3:51pm
Carmichael:

Hey Fred, who is the performer of which you speak? Johhny Halliday? Jerry Lewis?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
fred:

Halliday. I think the Jerry Lewis thing has been over for a while
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:00pm
fred:

I heard it's "wave at Saturn" day. How about some Sun Ra?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:03pm
Ike:

Fred @3:40, I know what you mean. Banter is great. I tolerate the music. It's better than it was in the 90s. Too much MC Hammer and such.

Mike East @3:33, that's so romantic.
Avatar 4:05pm
northguineahills:

Right now we're in the window to wave at Saturn, at least for the next 80+ minutes.

Rev. Turnip Druid:

nice, carm... The goal here this weekend is to do a little R&D to figure out what makes music sound COLD. And do it. A lot. Missus is out of town until sun.night, so I'll be living in studio...

Carmichael:

One time the Pogues were playing in Germany. A drunk heckler kept asking they could play The Turkey Song by The Damned. They didn't understand what he was saying, but they ended up writing The Turkish Song of the Damned, which appears on the If I Should Fall From Grace With God album.
Avatar 5:19pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

hahahhahaha! that's brilliant!
  5:20pm
Urania:

See??? I was that drunk heckler, and it's because of me they wrote that song! But what I was REALLY saying was "Greek Songs Kick Turkish Songs' Asses"
