The song that made me fall in love with Reigning Sound! As always a great start to your set.

12:06pm joe:

Greg is DJing in the area in April. In order to give you an idea what you are going to get the venue (King's) has a link to Greg's session on Rock and Soul Ichiban.

12:07pm joe:

The area being Raliegh NC

👻

12:07pm Hoboken Jack:

Hello Joe "Mookie" Belock, Bronwyn, and all! Let's rock!!

12:08pm joe:

Mookie Belock isn't that who Pearl Jam originally named themselves after. Damn Joe I never made the connection. ;)

12:08pm Matt Clarke:

Hola to all Joes and Jacks and the rest!

12:09pm joe:

I think it was Lenny Kravitz wasn't it?

12:09pm Uncle Michael:

Duane said! Hey, Joe.

12:22pm Joe B:

greetings all! thanks for tuning in!

12:24pm Tim from LH:

I missed out on the mustard yellow copy Friday!

12:30pm V Priceless:

Smashing Pumpkins said it, but Rock replied, "Smashing Pumpkins is dead!"

12:33pm johnk77:

nice selections
also smashing pumpkins is back:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/22/arts/music/smashing-pumpkins-reunion-billy-corgan-interview.html

12:34pm northguineahills:

curious, thanks johnk77!

12:34pm Joe B:

re Pumpkins - guitarist James Iha went to Loyola-Chicago, the Cinderella of the Final Four

👻

12:35pm Ken From Hyde Park:

The "Almost Famous" spot on Wake 'n' Bake this morning was a pretty good one. I didn't guess the artist right away.

12:35pm joe:

Billy Corgan should stick to what he does best running the National Wrestling Alliance

12:36pm Joe B:

thanks Ken.

12:41pm Susan C.:

If you haven't already heard it give a listen to Jack Hammer's "Down in the Subway". It will infect you.

12:41pm johnk77:

james iha rocked hard
when playing live
w/tinted windows

12:42pm northguineahills:

@Ken: Unless it's blatantly obvious, I never can get those (or on the off chance I already have the record).

12:42pm joe:

The Smashing Pumpkins reunion amuses me. The drummer has been back in the "band" for some years now and the guitar player has collaborated a few times with the "band" since it's "break up". The refuse to work with the bass player sooooooo what is the reunion here? The guitar player came back to the "band" to do a tour that they know he is not going to stay around after? I'm kind of confussed. The only thing that I think diffrent here is that they are going to play older stuff which they refused to do in the past. I mean I don't care and if this gives Smashing Pumpkins something to be happy about that is great but I'm a bit confussed on how this constitues a "reunion".

12:42pm joe:

And that is the major draw back this creates less of a chance for a Tinted Windows album

12:43pm northguineahills:

I think I guess correctly on three selections that were essentially shots in the dark.

12:45pm Matt Clarke:

I used to serve blueberry pancakes to Mr. Iha in the EV

12:46pm joe:

@matt any good horrid stories? Like does he drizzle his pancakes with burbon and smack? :P

12:47pm Joe B:

Iha also signed the Sights to whatever label he co-founded in the mid 2000s so major props to him for helping those guys out!

12:48pm joe:

Hey I'll out myself here I love the first Smashing Pumpkins album and I think James is a great guitar player for that type of dreaming swirling psych stuff.

12:48pm Matt Clarke:

@joe: He was always pleasant and used the proper amount of syrup. No straw slurping.

12:49pm Carmichael:

I would rather hear a new Tinted Windows album.

12:49pm joe:

@carmichael I think most of us highly agree with you there.

12:49pm Joe B:

maybe with the cash he makes from reunion tour he can finance a new tinted windows album

12:50pm Keith from Oregon:

Me too, Carmichael!

12:51pm Joe B:

love that tinted windows album

12:51pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

I'm kinda over Smashing Pumpkins. They were cool in 1994 to me, but they seem dated somehow and not timeless like some of the other music I like. Am I a snob for saying that? They seem kind over-earnest like Rush to me. Maybe I'm a jerk. Sorry, Smashing Pumpkins!

12:52pm Joe B:

@joe - greg's dj sets are not to be missed!

12:52pm northguineahills:

I prefer Death By Snu Snu.

12:53pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@NGH: "Perhaps today IS a good day to die"-Commander Wharf.

12:53pm joe:

Ill also go out there and say I saw Hanson some years ago when I chaperoned my daughter to Bamboozle tour and let me tell you those guys know what they are doing.

12:54pm Joe B:

corgan is a tool but the first two LPs still sound good to me

12:54pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Joe-getting young girls to love them? Or musically they are very accomplished? Both?!

12:54pm V Priceless:

for the record, I was just quoting the liner notes from an Electric Frankenstein record ; )

12:54pm joe:

@joe Never been , but I had total intentions of going knowing he would probably not disappoint.

12:54pm northguineahills:

Everything from Siamese Dream and before I think is brilliant, and then they sailed into mediocrity w/ an occasional good tune here and there.

12:54pm northguineahills:

Joe B jinxed me.

12:54pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Joe B-Will check out both
1. Why Corgan is a tool.
2. Their first couple albums.

12:55pm joe:

@wildneil Both. THis was at least a decade after the whole MMMbop thing. Full horn section back up singers and KILLER pop licks.

12:55pm JakeGould:

Hey Joe!

12:56pm joe:

Agreed Corgan should have a Snap On tattoo across his forehead.

12:57pm johnk77:

everyone in tinted windows
extremely talented and rockin
the only time i saw them

12:57pm joe:

I love the fact that Tinted Windows is what like 3 generations?

12:59pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Billy Corgan was on Infowars. Huh!

1:02pm northguineahills:

@Wild Neil: Well, you answered #1.

1:04pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

I think Alex Jones should start a Prog-rock band with Robert Fripp, Buckethead and Sting. It would last exactly one album, and three tour dates before it implodes.

1:04pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Oh, and Ted Nugent.

1:04pm northguineahills:

Julie played this Juliana Hatfield the other day, she was on cloud nine (a perfect nexus of her interests)

1:05pm joe:

Owww Ted Nugent and Robert Fripp togeather I don't think the album would get made and if it did the tour wouldn't make it past the first date.

1:05pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Joe-it could never work I am sure.

1:06pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Actually, I think Ted would be in awe of Robert.

1:06pm joe:

@Wild Neil agreed I get where you were going but I think those two togeather would be even more combustible then any of the other possible combinations.

1:07pm Joe B:

NGH Julie was gonna participate in the Olivia/Juliana show but it didn't work out unfortunately

1:07pm joe:

Yeah but Fripp would not suffer Ted very long I think

1:07pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

I think Robert Fripp is a little persnickety and kind of a dictator like Neil Young.

1:09pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

Hoodoo Gurus-overlooked 80's band from my early 20's overlooked by me, hence clicky clicky!

1:09pm joe:

Yeah that's the vibe I get on him as well, but I think he has mellowed with age. I also found out some interesting facts that over the years when certain members of KC were not able to get on with him and decided to leave the band he offered rather then break up what he felt was a good band he would leave and let the band continue. This obviously was never accepted.

1:11pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Joe-What actually happened with the Lone Rhinoceros Adrian Belew?

1:12pm northguineahills:

The last two Sloan albums have finally hit their old form again, there were a few in the 2000s that bored me. Digging this new one!

1:14pm Parq:

Is this Amy song about Leslie West?

1:14pm joe:

@Wild Neil you know to their credit I think they have both remained tight lipped on that and my understanding is it comes down to two very intense personalities. My understanding is they have made peace and AB is now an auxiliary member of the band and could appear at any time with them but is not under the pressure of being a full time band member. This make sense as KC's last tour was primarily music from pre AB albums. I would go out on a limb and say that the next tour tends to focus more on the "later" material.

1:15pm joe:

@WildNeil I will tell you this I saw my first KC show a few months ago after being a fan for nearly 30 years and if Fripp's ruling with an iron hand is what causes something to sound like that. I'm not going to tell him to stop any time soon.

1:16pm Joe B:

i don't know Parq! could be. was one of the few new songs we didn't discuss!

1:18pm Wild Neil||Peace All:

@Joe-I still cannot afford KC tickets, but I am glad you got to go. The closest I ever got is I saw the League of Crafty Guitarists back in the 80's. I think it was the 80's. Yeah, they have been VERY quiet about what happened. Glad KC is playing their earlier stuff while they still can!

1:20pm joe:

@Wild Neil oh yeah $$$$$. I had some gift money that I was given that is the only reason I finally broke down and they were one of the few on the list I had never seen and took the plunge.

1:20pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Hi Joe! When will this Wreckless Eric record be released?

1:20pm listener monica:

!!!

1:21pm joe:

@Wild Neil what I will say is if at sometime you are on the fence about if you should spend the money or not I can say I don't think they will disappoint you. Woud have loved to see LOCG so that is very cool that you got that chance.

1:21pm Joe B:

april 6!

1:23pm chris:

hi, Joe B and all. that Wreckless Eric track is bonkers. loved it!

1:23pm Listener Robert:

OK, who's the wise guy who was keying the output for code practice? At least that's how it sounded from WMFU minutes ago during & after the record.

1:24pm joe:

@wild neil Jakko Jakszyk is amazing on vocals and 2nd guitar. His vocals on Easy Money near melted my face and on Moon Child damn near brought me to tears

1:25pm northguineahills:

off to lunch, see you on the other side, Joe B!

1:25pm KP in DC:

Hola, Joe

1:28pm joe:

Hey this kid might have something.

1:29pm Kenny rotten:

Isn't this Aerosmith trying to be the Yardbirds?

1:30pm Joe B:

only tyler. he hadn't yet met joe perry

1:31pm Woo:

I bought this Bobkat '65 thanks to WFMU airplay. It's short. It leaves you wanting more. As all good things should.

1:34pm Joe B:

glad you dig it woo! we have 2 45s by them in the library i need to check out

1:34pm Joe B:

hey KP!

1:35pm Kenny rotten:

Ah, thanks Joe!

1:37pm Bill in W.O.:

Great Sloan track. Looking forward to the LP. Saw that John Paul Keith has a new one out this Friday - cool stuff in store.

1:42pm Nate K.:

Hey, Joe.

1:47pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Joe & Belockers all! That new Sloan reminded me of Tom Petty a bit.

1:49pm Joe B:

hi kevin, good point. hey nate!

1:49pm Joe B:

bill, yes, need to get on that JP album!

1:55pm Bill in W.O.:

Sloan are great live. They all write, they all sing/front songs. I've seen them several times in the past few years, Bowery Ballroom, Bell House, Maxwell's (around here). NYC Taper has some of those shows, BTW.

1:57pm Nate K.:

I just assumed the new Jack White might not be my thing, but I liked that song.

2:01pm Michael 98145:

( never thought about it that way. i'm not -accumulating- music, i'm -stockpiling- music. )

2:01pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Check the larder--how much Roky is left?

2:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

"Connected By Love" definitely one of the highlights of Friday night's show. You can always trust The People's Champ to pick the hits!

2:02pm Michael 98145:

( Alexa, stay away from that )

2:03pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Saw Sloan at Tramps circa '96-97

2:04pm Wes:

At this point, isn't every day of the year an anniversary for at least one GBV release?

2:04pm northguineahills:

GBV!

2:07pm Bill in W.O.:

I haven't heard one of these BWBB songs yet without wanting to go right out and buy the record, then the band name sets in. I guess I need to get over that, huh?

2:10pm Joe B:

i hear ya Bill

2:10pm Joe B:

good point wes

2:11pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Hiiiiiii Joe!!!

Davy Graham!

2:22pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Wow! Yowza!

2:23pm Nate K.:

Great version.

2:23pm Beth the Martian:

I just wanted to drop in to say I love this show!

2:25pm northguineahills:

YLT!

2:27pm spaceghost:

Been randomly imitating the great Rob Leacock to my friend.. he doesn’t know what I’m talking about, it’s an inside joke between me and myself

2:29pm Nate K.:

Help me out here. Joni Mitchell did write "Both Sides Now," correct? But Judy Collins's version came first.

2:32pm Carmichael:

Yes, Collins sang it 1st and "the hit". It was on Mitchell's album Clouds the next year.

Frank Sinatra sang a version. So did Leonard Nimoy.

2:33pm Parq:

Nate, right you are. And thank you for giving me a chance to wool-gather some more on this busy Monday.

2:34pm Nate K.:

Thanks!

2:37pm Nate K.:

This Jake La Botz dude seems like my kid of guy.

2:39pm Mike Steele:

Thanks Joe!

2:47pm Michael 98145:

Enjoy the ice cream
")

2:50pm Brian C.:

Fun Judy Collins fact: before my parents divorced, my mom was Judy Collins. (When my dad remarried, my step-mom was Joan Collins).

2:50pm Esther Crow:

great show, Joe. thanks for the spin, as always. <3

2:53pm Michael 98145:

( liked that 18th Dye, thanks - crunchyfrog.bandcamp.com... )

2:53pm Chris from DC:

Oh man, Dead Meadow were so good Friday night.
