@PLU: Did the mean kids at school ever call you Price Lookup?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:08pm Webhamster Henry:

The Stream was just playing "Daddy, What's a Tree?" I think a whole set could be made of that kind of thing, like "What Have They Done To The Rain?", which we used to sing in choir : Imagine our little kids' voices lamenting the effects of nuclear fallout!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:08pm Charlie:

I swear, every other week, there's a new technical snafu. That's live "radio" for you...

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Charlie:

hey there, Listening Out There :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:18pm listener james from westwood:

The Nauman backing track here sounds like a good candidate for background music of a Joe Frank episode.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:20pm Charlie:

Hi James!
Boo work mayhem!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:34pm doctorjazz:

What a take on Michel Petrucciani! No Bill Evans feel here...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:38pm doctorjazz:

Another interesting take on piano jazz, thanks for the link.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm Charlie:

this whole johnny_ripper album is fascinating. recommend checking it out. and it's free :)
Avatar 12:40pm βrian:

What's worse is a maelstrom of mayhem. I takes forever to clean up.
Avatar 12:41pm βrian:

I just played the Ripper album through yesterday. It was fun. I only skip the few tracks that sound like arcade games.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm Charlie:

ßrian -- agreed, I prefer the tracks sourced from movies, but I like a few of the others too.
Avatar 12:50pm sphere:

this Keith and Ken track is so sweet. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm Charlie:

sphere -- heard it as the closing music of a movie the other day ("Maggie's Plan") -- thought the same thing :)

Avatar 1:15pm annie:

NOW i know why i loved mr rogers voice so much : A Ginsberg!!
  1:16pm Listening Out There:

Ginsberg could have sung sea shanties. Oi...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm listener james from westwood:

Aimee Mann!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Charlie:

I love the sound of Uncle Al's voice...
Avatar 1:19pm Jeff:

I actually heard Ginsberg play, dandling his harmonium on his knee.

He sang a song about death.

Then he sang a song about... death.
Avatar 1:20pm ndbob:

always liked this version
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm Charlie:

Hi Jeff -- hm, that sounds about right!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21pm Webhamster Henry:

Hey! Can you slip in "Feeling Prudence's Babas" by CCC?mashups.blogspot.com...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:24pm doctorjazz:

Aww, stepped out, missed Aimee. Nice "...Sunshine" takes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

Henry -- for some reason, I cannot play from Soundcloud, or anything that requires Flash, on the computer I use for audio for the show. It's an old PC running XP, and I can't update Flash. If you know I work-around, I'd be obliged! Otherwise, I'll check out the song for future reference:)
