Good afternoon everyone, thanks for tuning in!

12:19pm Todd-o-phonic:

Wonder how short the version of "Layla" is on the K-Tel lp???

12:20pm Parq:

Listening to the K-Tel commercial and picturing all my LPs pitching forward on the floor when the gizmo can't handle the momentum of the forward-moving vinyl.

12:20pm Cecile:

my childhood

Gary, Indiana -1954

12:24pm Parq:

Did Phil Kives hang out with Ron Popiel?

12:24pm Cecile:

he's up with Billy Mays in heaven working a state fair commerce tent.

12:24pm Parq:

All of this sounds tragically familiar but I have very specific memories of the polka commercial.

12:24pm goat friend:

Ok ok I'm sold on polka!

12:25pm Cecile:

12:27pm Cecile:

MORE K-TEL

12:29pm Cecile:

from the NY Times obit:

Act now! Be the first on your block to read this obituary of the marketing guru who — as seen on TV — sliced, diced and polkaed his way to fortune!

"Reared in penury, he bewitched and beguiled the public to become an international tycoon, only to lose everything and then, undaunted, make it back again!

Just two dollars and five thin dimes at any New York City newsstand gets you the print edition of this obituary — along with dozens more articles at no extra charge — commemorated with the date and suitable for framing! Quantities are limited, so don’t delay!"

12:33pm Bill in W.O.:

Nice catch-up pick, Joe! One of my favorite covers. That was a great band.

12:44pm Joe B:

thanks bill, yeah always dug the derailers

12:44pm Joe B:

thanks Cecile, yeah, saw that, great lede!

12:44pm Joe B:

Marc, i guess the record fair was a big distraction this weekend!

12:48pm Cecile:

has ty segall made a bad record? He is ridiculous.

12:50pm Joe B:

i'll say no. and the traditional fools stuff just got reissued. if you don't know that, definitely check it out!

12:59pm Chris M.:

huge happy birthday wishes to Rockin Joe Belock who is celebrating his birthday today!

1:00pm Joe B:

5 months early but thanks!

1:01pm Chris M.:

Joe this cake will stay in my freezer with the frozen peas until the correct day!

1:02pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Good afternoon Joe & Belockland. Great to see youse (and youse know who I'm talking about!) in "Greenpoirnt", yesterday. Of course , I'm now full of guilt for never buying any of the fine KTel products!

1:02pm Joe B:

i'm up for celebrating early, that way you dont have to worry about forgetting!

1:05pm Joe B:

great seeing you kevin. i wouldnt feel guilty about skipping k-tel products.

1:11pm Mike Sin:

The Live Ones singing about being on the road... touring around two square miles in Brooklyn!

1:12pm Joe B:

genius!

1:21pm Power Papi:

This Sheer Mag song kinda sounds like early Prince.

1:23pm Bluesman:

Joe - was the Fabians track from a cassette?

1:29pm miketp:

Just popped in. Hello everybody! Vaguely remember one of goldie n gingerbread member worked some years ago at surrey international. Health food stores north Arlington NJ.

1:31pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Great track!

👻

1:38pm Hoboken Jack:

I do love me some Tommy Keene!

👻

1:40pm Jeff from Rahway:

Can't get enough Tommy Keene Joe!

1:40pm coelacanth:

hi Joe and everyone

1:42pm George Kopp:

Bolger!! Nice.

1:42pm geezerette:

coel and Jeff from Rahway, your avatars should have a play date!

1:44pm coelacanth:

hahaha!

👻

1:44pm Jeff from Rahway:

Yeah dogs and WFMU about sum up my life LOL.

1:45pm coelacanth:

holy shit Jeff, they could be related! (seriously)

1:45pm Michael 98145:

Nothin wrong with that, Jeff

1:47pm paul b:

Saw Tommy Keene open for the Jam back in ... well lets just say it was a while back and leave it at that. At a place called Ritchie coliseum. it was a great show

1:47pm coelacanth:

....but i guess we're all related,after all.

1:49pm geezerette:

I'd throw them a frisbee if I could write one.

1:52pm MattZ:

slammin

👻

1:53pm Hoboken Jack:

It's a poptastic set, Joe!!

1:53pm coelacanth:

here's one coming right at me: ---. here it is after i didn't catch it: _____.

1:54pm Michael 98145:

en.wikipedia.org...

1:54pm coelacanth:

(he would've caught it though...and then eaten it.)

1:54pm geezerette:

I see it! :D

1:55pm geezerette:

I know a golden retriever who's eaten lead type!

1:59pm coelacanth:

Yikes. -but golden retrievers seem to usually have eating disorders, so no surprise.
my sister had one that ate herself to death via fiberglass insulation and "dog-safe" mouse traps with poison inside them...amongst other things.

2:04pm Cecile:

golden retrievers are "mouthy" and food oriented. Not a great combination.

2:04pm geezerette:

The lead eater's well chewed shoes,tools,etc. have been framed by his owner and hung on the walls. He calls it Dog Art.(The owner does. That dog can eat anything but he doesn't speak English.)

2:05pm Cecile:

wow, these guys actually wrote a song with actual feelings. It's good!

2:07pm coelacanth:

ya, my sister wishes she could frame the $100. bills that dog ate.

2:08pm geezerette:

Matrix Tapes!!!

2:08pm Joe B:

ha, glad they finally won you over cecile!

2:09pm Joe B:

thanks again to everybody for tuning in, haven't been able to keep up with the comments today but thanks for making them!

2:09pm Cecile:

Oh, I liked them, but their songs were kind of brilliantly dumb. This one is a little smarter and it doesn't lose anything.

2:10pm Joe B:

I hear ya

2:11pm coelacanth:

Thank YOU Joe!

👻

2:15pm Jeff from Rahway:

Can't get enough Feelies either Joe. I have most of the Feelies' original releases on vinyl or CD and was hesitant about pulling the trigger for the reissues. This song may convince me otherwise.

2:15pm Michael:

Hadn't heard this yet - thanks Joe!

2:16pm Marc Francis:

Goddamn Joe! There's stuff I should be doing but you keep playing one great song after the other...

2:17pm Joe B:

The remasters are worth it for these 2 feelies albums - significant sonic upgrades for both Only Life and Time for a witness

2:18pm Joe B:

thank Marc! or, sorry! whichever applies!

2:20pm geezerette:

That was a sweet version of Sweet Jane and now you're playing a great Tom Waits.
I'm captivated like Marc Francis,love your show Joe!

2:22pm Joe B:

Thanks!

To be clear, The Sonics band did not cancel the tour. It took us by surprise, was done without consulting the five of us, and was shocking and very disappointing. In actuality, when we received the notification we were packing and preparing to fly to Philadelphia for rehearsals. We’re hoping that most of the shows on the tour can be rebooked and we can arrive and deliver the kind of show that can always be expected of us.

The Sonics

2:34pm Joe B:

wow, thanks for that mr d

2:35pm Cecile:

what a triple bill.
What a bummer it didn't happen

2:35pm JakeGould:

Joe Mondays!

2:37pm Michael 98145:

Them always hits the spot

2:39pm doctorjazz:

Nice old Van.

2:42pm KP:

I thought this was in German

2:42pm coelacanth:

who did this first? i know it by the pretty things, but i think they "covered" it.

2:46pm Joe B:

I always thought pretty things did it first but have never checked

2:49pm John:

there are star wars fan edits on youtube, yet my screeching weasel club gig from 1993 that I just posted was muted on youtube. zoinks..

2:50pm Joe B:

weird

2:50pm coelacanth:

just checked and you're correct. apologies to the pretty things.

2:50pm KP:

All Music - "Midnight to Six Man" was the best original song recorded by the Pretty Things in the mid-'60s.

2:53pm coelacanth:

i have an old 2lp comp and grew up thinking they penned everything, but later found that some were kinks songs and a few others - hence my doubt.
'sounds like it could've been a kinks song.

2:57pm Joe B:

last week i did play the pretty things covering the kinks!

2:59pm Cecile:

This. Is. Great!

2:59pm coelacanth:

there. so maybe i'm not as far gone as i am!

Thanks Joe! Great show!
