*whaaaaaaa****Soobbbbbbbbbbb***sniff*

12:03pm Cecile:

I hate you, so call me.

12:04pm Cecile:

I saw Gary Burger with the Spectors about 10 yrs ago. He was awesome.

12:04pm V Priceless:

Hey Joe! Ugh..rough week in the RIP Dept...problem is, who's gonna complete the trilogy? : (

12:04pm Guido (Cologne):

Proto Punks in Heaven

12:04pm Greg from Bloomfield:

Oh no! I didn't hear about Gary. I listened to "Monk Chant" on the way to work today.

12:05pm MattBelow:

Hey-o!

12:06pm Cecile:

right on, Joe. Celebrate the living.

12:06pm Cheri Pi:

fingers crossed it's not Fred Cole

👻

12:08pm tim from champaign:

Aw man, RIP Rock Action and Gary Burger.

Scott Asheton drummed on some of the music that's most near and dear to my heart. Side 2 of Funhouse has everything that I love about music. Noise, chaos, dirge, humor, freak outs and rock solid rock.

The Asheton Brothers were the heart and soul of the Stooges to me. Smart-ass, mid-western punk wisenheimers that knew rock music through and through. As a Michigander, the Asheton bros are "Pure Michigan" as the slogan goes.

👻

12:09pm tim from champaign:

Kalamazoo!!!! My hometown! See King Khan and the Shrines "Land of the Freak" for another Kalamazoo shout out.

12:10pm jljl:

I need to track down this Shocked Minds stuff.

12:10pm Cecile:

well put, Tim.

12:10pm KP:

Hola, Joe!

12:10pm pierre:

Oh Bonjour Joe
and thanks you for playing the Monks

12:11pm Guido (Cologne):

Iggy said in the early days of the Stooges Scotty was the real "Bad Boy".

12:13pm Cecile:

hi, pi!

12:13pm Joe B:

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in and checking in!

12:13pm common:

fuzzy!

12:13pm Guido (Cologne):

Kalamazoo where the guitaraffes live?

12:14pm Joe B:

check out Miriam Linna's Scott Asheton tribute. the greatest:

12:16pm KP:

i read that. tremendous work

👻

12:17pm tim from champaign:

Good one, Guido. The old Gibson building now houses art studios. It's a cool building. The smokestack has "Gibson" bricked into it.

12:17pm V Priceless:

@ tim - cool!

12:20pm KP:

That intro is exactly like "Feel A Whole Lot Better."

12:21pm Guido (Cologne):

@tim
Finally someone got it! (Everything is worth a second try.)

Intersting info.
Wasn't there a follow-up company called Heritage Guitars?
Not in the old plant!

12:21pm Dan Eletxro:

Hey Joe! Great times hangin' with ye out in Austin! Rock On!

👻

12:23pm tim from champaign:

Guido - Yep. I think Heritage is still in K-zoo. ProCo Sound (which makes Rat Pedals) in K-zoo was founded my former Gibson employees.

12:24pm Joe B:

Hey Dan! yeah, great time!

12:25pm Guido (Cologne):

Thanks Tim!

12:26pm V Priceless:

Kinks Kover!

👻

12:29pm tim from champaign:

Last Kalamazoo factoid: per the Weekly World News, Elvis was sighted in 1990 at the Burger King on the corner of Stadium and West Main. I didn't move to K-zoo until 1991 so I can't verify it first hand. But it's undoubtedly true.

12:30pm V Priceless:

Great Lost Kinks Album

12:33pm Guido (Cologne):

I'm astonished Tim! Truly!

👻

12:37pm tim from champaign:

First things first, Joe. I know that if I went to something like SXSW I would miss most if it because I was eating.

12:40pm Guido (Cologne):

I better will not even think about what I missed in order not to hate myself.

12:42pm Jonathan Herweg:

Love this track!

12:43pm dc pat:

Every time I go into the local sandwich shop, they're playing Zig Zag Wanderer..

12:44pm Cecile:

if they are playing Sonic Tap's 8-tracks channel on satellite radio, that song is in rotation right now.

12:46pm dc pat:

Maybe that's it Cecile. It makes buying a sandwich closer to my dream scenario...

12:46pm Cecile:

Greg Cartwright is one of the greats. He really is a true original in rootsy rock.

12:47pm Guido (Cologne):

The Frowning Clouds ... this stuff is for me ... where#s the clicky-star?

12:54pm mariano:

@Guido: is it not visible next to the song title?

12:55pm Guido (Cologne):

It just took a while.

1:02pm Fuzzy:

Great mix for the post-Paddy Day Smokin' O' The Green!

1:02pm mariano:

@Fuzzy: ooh, great idea! Be right back.

1:03pm SmokinJ:

I'll drink to that... :)

👻

1:13pm tim from champaign:

After some internet machine sleuthing, I still can't figure out if the Higher State is vintage or current.

1:16pm Cubicle Carl:

Joe, be nice to yourself. Mark your time by the shows that you made, not the ones you missed.

1:19pm efd:

Tim, they're current.

👻

1:19pm tim from champaign:

Joe, what record stores did you hit up in Austin?

👻

1:20pm tim from champaign:

Thanks, efd. That Higher State song was groovy either way.

1:20pm Joe B:

Just Antone's. Todd o phonic hit about 6.

1:21pm dc pat:

Holy...

1:21pm dc pat:

Liminanas are something else..

1:21pm bobdoesthings:

I love when it when after... 10 seconds you know you love a song.

👻

1:22pm tim from champaign:

I've been to Antone's once. Excellent prices.

1:22pm dc pat:

^ exactly @bobdoesthings

1:23pm Joe B:

Gonna be giving away a pair of tickets today to the march 27 show at Rough Trade brooklyn with the Allah las and the Black Hollies!

1:23pm bobdoesthings:

@dc pat.. yeahh! even I added an extra "when" you get me!

1:24pm bobdoesthings:

geez I cant make full sentences..

1:29pm Mike East:

I freakin love this Allah las album. Its a weekend standard at my house

👻

1:29pm Jeff from Rahway:

The Allah-Las....killer song. Is there a new record coming out any time soon?

1:29pm Mike East:

if I were a younger man with no kids, those tickets would be MINE

👻

1:31pm Jeff from Rahway:

@Mike East, that's why God invented babysitters ;-)

1:33pm Mike East:

yeah...we gotta find one of those, for sure.

1:34pm MattBelow:

That sounds like a pretty nice show line-up. Have to make it out there.

👻

1:37pm Jeff from Rahway:

Bummer...I guess someone won the 3/27 tickets?

1:40pm Mike East:

Jeff, are you available to babysit next Thursday?

1:40pm Mike East:

👻

1:44pm Jeff from Rahway:

Congrats, Mike! And no, I can't babysit because I'm gonna try and find a way to go to the show.

1:44pm InBrkly:

This has been an awesome sonic morning. Great show today.

1:46pm joe:

'ello folks

1:48pm KP:

Joe Lala died. I saw him as percussionist with Manassas and as the drummer of the Byrds on their last tour.

1:50pm dc pat:

Ha! reading FB posting from Giblin right now...

1:54pm Joe B:

Hi KP, thanks for the news. wasn't he the drummer on the CSNY 1974 tour?

1:55pm Stevel:

Bud! Bud! Bud!

1:55pm Cecile:

I love Bud Benderbe

1:55pm dc pat:

wow. this may be the funniest song I've heard...in the last hour.

👻

1:55pm Jeff from Rahway:

Alright Joe! Now I can put these VU tunes on the hi-fi when my parents visit.

1:56pm common:

this is great!

1:56pm ted w.:

Great show! What's that killer instrumental that was playing when you were just listing the titles?

1:56pm Bill:

Joe, with all the stuff you say you missed, you did catch Lydia Loveless, yes?

1:58pm Joe B:

yes, twice! missed her last show that was a covers hoot night that sounds like fun

1:59pm Joe B:

Hi Ted, thanks! tic tac toe by booker t and the mg's

2:06pm KP:

Joe Lala was the percussionist with CSNY in 1974, he was also in blues image and acted quite a bit, voiceovers too

2:09pm Cecile:

I think I knew him only as an actor, KP.

2:11pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

I love Natural Child! Thanks for taking such good care of Todd-O-Phonic Todd, Joe!

👻

2:12pm tim from champaign:

Harsh Toke...the name fits. Cool jam.

2:16pm Jim Devoid:

Harsh Toke sounds like Kadavar!

2:16pm Cecile:

Joe did a lot of voice work for the animated Batman and Superman series.

2:17pm Jim Devoid:

HAHAHA! I guess that Kadavar sounds like Kadavar!

2:17pm Nate K:

Loving the hesher interlude Joe.

2:18pm Cecile:

Mr. Belock usually gets pretty freakadelic during the last hour of his show, to my approval.

2:19pm mariano:

Wow, very Zappa-ish guitar solo here!

👻

2:19pm tim from champaign:

I feel my hair growing already. I love fuzzed out jams.

2:20pm Cecile:

Man, the Blind Shake I can tell from the first three notes. That guitar sound.

2:21pm mariano:

I was very fortunate to see Blind Shake open for the Oh Sees, great show, small venue.

2:22pm Cecile:

I hope they really knocked em dead down there. They need a break.

2:23pm Nate K:

Saw Blind Shake at Gonerfest this year. I think they were second on like a 10-band bill, but they KILLED it. Great, great band--live and on record. Much praise!

2:25pm mariano:

Speaking of Johnny Adams, there's a great one called "Reconsider Me," where he puts his multi-octave range to good use.

2:27pm Stevel:

Nice! New Dex!

2:28pm Cecile:

Nate, they had to book their own show with the Oh Sees here. And the last newspaper coverage was bemused and a bit patronizing because they are way more popular out of town than in town.

If I were in a Mpls band, I'd make my bones on the road, and then try to crack there. Like the 'Mats, Husker Du, Dylan and Prince did. :/

2:31pm Cecile:

I mean, who but the hardcore remember people like the Wallets, Zen Guerillas, Hoopsnakes, and Iffy?

2:32pm Cecile:

then of course there were great bands that were popular nowhere. hahahaaha

2:33pm John L.:

The Gibson Bros. would fit in this set.

2:34pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Good Day All Belockers. Thanks for the tickets, Joe! Seen the Black Hollies kill it @ Bellhouse a few years ago. 0f course, first heard the Allah-Las on this here radio program. If my wife can't do the +1, I'll give a holler on the board next week.

👻

2:35pm tim from champaign:

I didn't know Zen Guerilla was from Minneapolis.

2:35pm Joe B:

John L, no sign of jeff Evans but Walter Daniels was down there jumping on stage with plenty of cool folks!

2:37pm Cecile:

Not the same band. The Zen Guerillas. They were a late 70s/early 80s New Wave Band.

2:38pm Cecile:

Oh, yeah, another one that was popular here and nowhere else was Sussman-Lawrence.

👻

2:42pm ChrisB.:

This new Lee Renaldo record is choice!

👻

2:42pm tim from champaign:

ooh, interesting, Cecile. Did the Zen Guerillas put out any records and if so, should I seek them out.

2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge:

this is an amazing song by LR

2:44pm Joe B:

Cheryl it was vice versa! he was making sure i didnt get too out of hand!

2:44pm Cecile:

Not sure, and probably not if the guys I know who were actually around are any judge. I did have a delightful conversation with their ex-lead singer at a Grant Hart musical installation deal a few years back, though.

2:45pm Guido (Cologne):

The whole album is great.
I was surprised actually how certain artist do not run out of song idesas.

2:45pm Cecile:

Guido, the more I think about it, both Lee and Kim were underrated in SY in different ways.

2:46pm efd:

Hi Joe, if you can squeeze it in could you please mention this late-breaking guest for my show tomorrow night?
Rachel Lichtman, director/co-writer/co-producer of the upcoming documentary Boyce & Hart: The Guys Who Wrote 'Em will be in-studio tomorrow night on The Evan "Funk" Davies show! She'll be talking about this amazing documentary that's nearing completion hot off the screenings this past weekend at the Monkees Convention and the Bell House.

2:46pm Mike Sin:

Cool show today, Joe. It added fun to the lunch break.

2:47pm Cecile:

that sounds pretty amazing efd

2:47pm Guido (Cologne):

I was angry about myself that i missed body/head in a small venue over here.
So i went to Lee's show.
Bought the album got an autograph and WHOW, what an album!

2:48pm efd:

Thank you!

2:49pm efd:

I won't tell you which one it was, but it's in the movie!

2:49pm Cecile:

WOW, that's a hardcore powerpop fest!

👻

2:51pm tim from champaign:

No way! The Bell House power pop bill sounds awesome. I saw Dwight Twilley and Pez Band play on the same night at last year's Blackout Fest. Twilley played Looking For The Magic as the encore. The drummer for Pez Band won me over because he was chewing on a slim jim beef jerkey while setting up his drums and during the first song.
