Saw a note about that on Twitter, Doug. Will have to hunt that down.
Howdy, Jeff, Jeff, and all! Looking forward to the looooong tracks! (And my iPod makes your show a bathroom-portable experience.)
Haha I don't know Robert Caro, but on the topic: I'm reading those "My Struggle" novels by Karl Ove Knausgaard everybody's talking about now. I'm marveled at how someone at his 45 can write SIX volumes of memories.
Doca - We got the whole album coming your way. Perfect for soccer, really. Almost programmed with the World Cup in mind.
Dean - Yes on the Cosmic Jokers. Had temporarily forgotten about them!

Dean:
@JG: Aptly named, those jokers of the cosmos. You've heard them, yes? A Krautrock supergroup is, I suppose, the most fitting epithet, although they exhibit none of the proggy, bluesy feel of, say, Jane. They're almost purely techno. I had two or three of their LPs until the late '80s, when I purged my collection. I now deeply regret having done so.
I really liked it, @JeffG, but I must say to my surprise. It has some boring passages, but everything's wrapped up in a sense of "lived life", as I read in a review, that makes it great. In the end, you feel next to the characters as if they were people you knew.
And he's not THAT egocentric, at least, although he seems to be a bit annoying
@Jeff J: My suggestion for a looooong show is - as always - Morton Feldman's second string quartet. You can mix it with someone reading Knausgaard's "My Struggle".
My candidate for a l-o-n-g show: the ongoing performance of Cage's As Slow As Possible at a church in Halberstadt, Germany. It started in 2001 and is due to end in 2640. "Encore!"
That would be a good one, @Duke. I read that when the fonograph was invented some guys thought it would be possible to play/hear all the sounds the world has hear in its history, because sound wouldn't dissipate. If sound could exist forever, perhaps we could gather together the memory of generations hearing that Cage piece.

CAN VUH DUUL:
Plenty of better Krautrock than this minor aberration of discoid house locked groove record!
@Can Vuh Duul: I guess you'd find this cut to be Amon DULL.
AMIRITE? Here all week, folks. Tip your waitresses. Try the veal.
12:43pm
CAN VUH DUUL:
sure there's plenty of good Kraut (Jazz prog) rock - Passport, whole Popul Vuh catalogue, Ash ra Tempel catalogue, Tago Mago era Can, Guru Guru, Amon DUUL 1 & 2 etc.
Krautrock desiderata: 1) Anything off the first Grobschnitt album or Ballerman; 2) Guru Guru's Der Electrolurch; 3) anything by Release Music Orchestra; 4) anything from any of the first three Epitaph albums; Yatha Sidhra's A Meditation Mass.
When 808 State (of Pacific State fame) had a shop here in Manchester uk - called Eastern BLoc - and they had this as their old record of the week - something of an early classic house record - they of course into everything Chicago they could get their hands on and much coke as well!
Have ever told you about the time I called Mr. Braxton to set up an interview and he was a little annoyed because I called in the middle of a Georgetown basketball game during the NCAA tournament. He was gracious, but a little terse. Later on, I did the interview with a fellow college radio pal and it was beyond humbling. He kept talking about his hero Warne Marsh and my jaw kept collapsing into a puddle on the floor.
I'm guessing Braxton had heard and enjoyed Roscoe Mitchell's four-sax Nonaah, from 1977.
1:31pm
Dean:
Not as impressive, but still fun is one of my Braxton stories. I flew from Southern California to Oakland to attend three nights of AB's five nights at Yoshi's for his Ghost Trance performances in 1997. I hadn't been to Berkeley for over 15 years, so I hung out downtown before heading to Jack London Square and Yoshi's. At the time, Berkeley Public Library was pre-renovation, a fairly well-used building. I remember climbing the steps to the music room, where the librarians piped in music. They were playing Braxton!
Jeff & Jeff: Thanks for the movie recs. Some may actually be in this area; there's one theater in Bergen near me that doesn't always do the explosion films, and that might be running one of them.

We've got a Robert Caro track queued up for later in the show. Of course we're mostly fans of the early stuff.

Caro has written, what, about 4,000 pages so far on Johnson and the last book only goes a few months in to his presidency. So, yeah.
You can't play a Robert Caro track on this show unless you click the "Extra-extra-long song button."
