James Brown at the Apollo is the perfect present-wrapping album. You need that steady rhythm to get into the measuring, cutting, taping groove.

Hello yall. Please excuse late arrival. I was listening to (the late) Phil Austin's Roller Maidens From Outer Space -- the lost Firesign Theatre album. So good.

YouTube has videos of the Santa Claus Lane Parade (on Hollywood Blvd)

Merry Christmas, can I play with your poodle?
  4:38am
markr:

I'm sure that's interesting, Simon.
  4:40am
markr:

The parade I mean, not the poodle. (Interestingly enough, I have a standard poodle listening to the show at home, along with his brother, a Bichon.

I imagine Burl as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof singing this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:41am
pacific standard simon:

You don't want to get under the mistletoe with Burl, in these days.
  4:42am
markr:

Like that image, Sem. My friend dubbed in his dialog from that movie over that animated special with the Burl Ives snowman--was that "Frosty"? It was pretty great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:45am
Sem:

Oh, the mendacity. Inspired over-dub, gotta say.
  4:47am

Judging by the response on Facebook, he and I seemed to be the only two who "got" it! You'd make three. I thought it was hilarious.

I put on WFMU at low but listenable volume for them in the room where they sleep--it's sort of our office, where we've got our computer etc. They get to hear Jeff Conklin for an hour or so, then me, then a little of the morning show. It's Todd-o-phonic Todd this morning, by the way.

Every once in a while I'll be reminded about how fucking good McCoy Tyner was.

Great show Mark and thanks for the historic content. Merry Christmas!

miles:

pound for pound
Jimmy Reed is the best deal in town
  5:04am
markr:

I kind of tend to agree, Miles. "I'm Jimmy Reed" was the first blues album that was actually conceived as an album. Prior to this record, they'd all been collections of singles, i.e. "The Best of Muddy Waters." (Not that those albums weren't great.) But for this album, he actually went in and cut 12 tracks for an album.
  5:09am
miles:

he's a revelation . I have about 20 of his singles & they all pop
  5:10am
miles:

now I've heard that there are multiple Sonny Boy Williamseseses
  5:11am
miles:

but wow cool Santa Claus song
  5:20am
markr:

It's true--the guy we heard tonight was sometimes called Sonny Boy Williamson II--there was another Sonny Boy Williamson before him (who wrote "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl"). THIS Sonny Boy recorded for Chess in the 50s and early 60s and also toured England with the Yardbirds as his backing band in the 60s.

"Accidentally"? The official story is that he was playing Russian roulette, and lost.

Why does a deliberate death wish sound better to me than drunken stupidity.?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:49am
pacific standard simon:

The current song title, "Santa Claus Got Stuck in My" reads like an old Playboy cartoon caption.
