Howdy folks. Really looking forward to the live set today from Jake McKelvie! If you're able, I hope you will make a pledge to WFMU's silent fundraiser this month. In order to stay free and freeform, we need your support, and we don't want to do two on-air fundraisers a year, so this is how we raise some needed cash at the time of year when the funds from the marathon start to dwindle. Of course, there are cool new t-shirts and other stuff. You can pledge to my show at the top of the page, or you can use this link: www.wfmu.org... -- thank you!

Hello Charlie, listener james and fellow listeners. This week I am mostly experimenting with onion dye. Plus, homemade chocolate eclairs. So now y'all know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:11pm Charlie:

funkiest Carpenters cover ever
Avatar 12:12pm Sarah N:

I agree!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:12pm Dominick:

That worked nicely
  12:12pm Listening Out There:

Prob the most upbeat "Rainy Days" version I'll likely hear. Great bass (and B3, I think?).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Charlie:

Shirley Scott at the Hammond B3, yes!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Charlie:

on many records, she plays the bass with her feet.
Avatar 12:13pm Sarah N:

B3 - phwaorrr!
  12:17pm Listening Out There:

Charlie...indeed. Have seen a couple of B3 players that are agile with them feet. Amazing skill to manipulate those long pedals while simultaneously playing the keyboard. Bet they can chew gum at the same time...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:18pm listener james from westwood:

So nice to hear the show live; my last coupla Thursdays I was booked out of the house for things and stuff. Without vitamin C I get scurvy!
Avatar 12:19pm annie:

actually, sitting here planning a cross-country trip, and i have the road atlas to prove it;ndbob, you're in illinois or indiana?

Such a cute song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:27pm Charlie:

Brian Wilson stole his title from my show!

Bloomington, IN, is where I matriculated in parties and boys. Great town, lovely conuntryside. Wait, Brian Wilson had a pocketbook?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm Charlie:

hey there DocJazz
Avatar 12:39pm still b/p:

Doublin' up -- Amy Goodman in an extended interview with Patti Smith in the background while I listen to this show. Covering a lotta ground, those two. And I think this mix is magically complementary. Media blitz thing sure going on with Patti's book.
  12:39pm Listening Out There:

Oopsy. Shakin' All Over was originally by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. Should have guessed since The Who started out as an R&B band...
  12:45pm frenchee:

Hi Charlie! Hi bnbob, everybody! this is a boppy number.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm Charlie:

hey still b/p, good to see you, attention divided or not :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm listener james from westwood:

still b/p: I see such a diverse range of folks citing (and digging) her first book, so I'm not surprised the publisher's got Smith on the road to talk about it.

  1:07pm Listening Out There:

Enjoying McKelvie. Reminds me a bit of Phil Ochs...
  1:11pm Listening Out There:

BTW, Charlie, the sound is good on our end. You're probably engineering this yourself...?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:11pm Charlie:

Yes, Listening, thanks for letting me know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13pm Charlie:

I love his wordplay. (and songs and voice) The band is great too. I'll play a tune later.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:48pm Matt F:

I was hoping this'd be the version we'd hear all the way through! Nice!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:49pm Charlie:

Hi Matt -- the only version worth hearing all the way through!
Avatar 1:50pm Peter Nelson:

Eric Burdon's is pretty good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm Matt F:

No sweat, I can go a couple minutes over at the end of my show if necessary...

Avatar 1:58pm Peter Nelson:

And who's heard of 'Impi' these days?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:59pm Charlie:

Thanks for this one, Peter, would not have heard it otherwise. They were from South Africa, some members from the band the Square Set.
Avatar 1:59pm Sarah N:

Boo hoo - show's nearly over - waa waa :(
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:59pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks once again, Charlie!!

Avatar 2:00pm Sarah N:

I love this Impi tune! (bawls like an onion)
Avatar 2:03pm Peter Nelson:

The Saints did nail it, for sure, but The Animal's version is pretty epic.
