Pussy cat came gift wrapped?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:03pm
Irene Trudel:

Fellini gift un-wraps every Christmas, Robert. We toss the paper on the floor and let him have fun. Speaking of holidays, hope you all are enjoying the holidays!

herb.nyc:

Happy merry to all. Lovely opener- I kept thinking Weyes Blood? But who is Wilsen? Aaaaaand, my Natalie Lewinsky is a tuxedo cat too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:13pm
Irene Trudel:

Thanks Tome and herb! No Weyes Blood today, as I'm focusing on favorites from the past year. Wilsen is an amazing, dream-folk band fronted by Tamsyn Wilsen, who is a Brit now living in Brooklyn. Maybe someday I can persuade them to come play live on WFMU. Oh, and Tuxedo Cats rule!

One lovely song after another (to be ruined by Prof Dum Dum, that nut job)

ngh, there's always the archives.Hope you get some sleep! THanks Summer and Michael! Love to all in N.Cali, especially to my family and friends out in the Bay Area.

Scraps:

He talks too much (he's funny; I just prefer djs who tends on the playing-music side), but Prof Dum Dum hits a lot of good music, too (but I like wide swaths of genres)

I haven’t heard Esmerine’s new album, but I liked Dalmak a few years ago.

The new Esmerine album is really gorgeous. I'm starting to get a little deeper into it.

There we go! The Clientele, one of my best of 2017. ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Irene Trudel:

Scraps, did you get to see The Clientele while they were on tour in the US? Absolutely magical.
Avatar 11:03pm
Scraps:

No.... My schedule of going out to see bands is limited, unfortunately. Both because I’m poor and disabled. But I will moved them up on my list!
Avatar 11:09pm
Scraps:

Both Laura Marling and the Weather Station sound a bit like Joni Mitchell. Which is good!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
Irene Trudel:

Yes, you totally can hear the influence but they have their own styles.

Sundfor's new album such a gift to my year. Plus I got to see her live at last. Why don't more people know about her?

50 years ago - the Nightbird is hatched:

In the warmest recesses in the hearts of NYC radio listeners is ingrained a one-minute song excerpt that debuted New Years Day 1968 - 50 years ago. While vacationing on the West Coast, Alison Steele riffled through a friend's she was staying at albums, and Eureka!, found the perfect theme song for her show. Likely inspired by growing up near a Wakima, WA reservation, gather a few esoteric verses for Elisabeth Waldo's - "Chant to the Sun":

Irene Trudel:

Thank you, dear listener, for this! I'd never heard the piece Alison Steele used in the clear. She basically was my inspiration for shows throughout my radio career.
