Wow — never heard Ray Charles do “Eleanor Rigby.” And I can’t say I can imagine it either, which makes the thought of hearing it all the better. Good pick
Play “Misty” for me. ;P
had a couple people wanted to hear alternate versions of eleanor rigby
I found 2
anybody know any others that are good?
I’m trying not to peek at the playlist
one of the best parts of this show is not knowing what
comes next
happy father’s day Paul
agreed. the mix is half of the fun!
Re: Eleanor Rigby–um, muzak?
wes montgomery
its smooth alright, but the guy is a legend
surely a cut above muzak, but I hear what your saying
I will try to dig up some Black Sabbath for you ; }
I definitely thought about that aspect of posting the playlists
there is a certain fun to the mystery of what will come next
i am making my dad listen to your show. don’t suck.
no guarantees
but I will try not to suck
The Covers Project may be a good place to start.
Example: http://www.coversproject.com/search?q=eleanor+rigby
thanks for that tasty little resourse
the check is in the mail
(not)
i like the blog and having the playlist to look at. i have already been to Martha Wainright’s site and just kinda working my way through the list while listening. great idea. Happy Fathers day Dads! P.S. i have never known this show to suck… ever.
I like having the playlist too and I’m doing the same thing as Peter – looking stuff up while listening
Very cool.
Love ‘Doctor my eyes’
! thank you…
re. the previous song ” The Roasted Swan”, I am always mightily irritated by songs whose titles make no sense – you have any idea why this is called “The Roasted Swan” ?
my borhter requested the Jackson Browne
he used to listen to it all the time when I was a kid.
I got one of his JB tee shirts when he outgrew it, I would wear it to school and feel cool
listen on air for an explanation on the Manzerek
Wow. Loved both the Nina Simone and the Nick Lowe……encroyable. *sigh*
Good evening and you have always played some great stuff and we are so happy to hear of 91.7 coming in the Fall!
Will you move from 90.1 to 91.7?
Keep playing Zappa – Let Me Take You To The Beach!
Great summer song!
that camera obscura song is amazing! whole record is good really. thanks for playing that.
I would love to play LEmme take you to the beach
one of my favorite zappa songs
I will be gone next week, but I will definitely play it the floowing week
I dont need much of an excuse to spin Zappa !
have u ever heard of a band called Neutral Milk Hotel? They have a really cool album: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. You should check it out.
I have played a few cuts off that record, but dont mind playing another
thanks for the suggestion
have u ever heard of a band called Neutral Milk Hotel? they have this way cool album: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. if u haven’t heard them before, u should totally check them out.
Naples, Florida is listening to you. I love you.
Hey Paul,
Guess you were right about taking down Stephen’s blog post from Friday announcing tonight’s blogging. It’s getting some comments as well, including this one from JimJam: Any chance of hearing some billy cobham/george duke? Wow what a concert they put on in G’ville, fla.
no problem
this is fun
its great to have an easy way to converse and get the whole thing interacting, its always been my desire to have the show be very interactive.
Pogo was delightfully strange.
My music suggestion is Portisthead’s Third. There is so much goodness there.
I have it and will pick something out for next time
thanks a bunch
Dan Auerbach is the guitar/vocalist half of the Black Keys
oh yeah, I remember being told that now.
lots of folks like him. I am still getting to know his stuff
do you like it better than the black keys
maybe I should play some of them again.
just as a test, can you all see this comment?
just reply to this comment if you can see me.
thanks, working out the bugs on the first night
I can see you
yes. great show!
you’ve been seen
thanks just checking
make sure you chime in with your list of suggestions
got a lot of this weeks music from facebook suggestions
but I would love to get some ideas from this blog
what MUST i check out ?
A few suggestions: Royksopp, The Knife, Eleni Mandell, The Pillows, and Jonathan Coulton.
Hey Paul, found the portal in! Any chance you might play some billy cobham/george duke? Saw them in concert once in G;ville, fla, WOW what a concert.
JimJam
glad you made it in
log time listener first time blogger , right?
I can try to find, I know I have a billy cobham record somewhere
I seem to remember a tune called Puffinstuff
ring a bell?
i heart you!
i hope you get your own show on the new station.
you are so fantastic.
will you please play some bullion?
specifically the song: Time For Us All To Love.
mwah.
I am hearting you in a reciprocal fashion
as Yoda says,”always in motion, the Future is”
never heard of bullion
I will check it out
thanks
That Fight Bite track was *amazing*, it had a sort of 4AD sound to it, thanks a lot!
Yep, long time listener
Saw Billy and George together in a concert in Fla, was one of the 2 or 3 best I ever saw, another being Led Zep on their first American tour… Always had a fondness for Willie too,
Best to you Paul!
hey, paul –
think my initial comment got stuck in some parallel blogiverse. enjoying your show, as always. would you work some richard buckner (maybe goner w/ souvenir off his since album) in when you see the right spot?
thanks mucho.
Whoya! Love Robert Johnson. Did I hear he had a recording session in Dallas?
yes indeedy!
I dont think I did know that about R Johnson
I will look into all of your suggestions
thanks everybody, this is great fun !
Hi P. Slavens,
I think my comment got lost also (so sorry if this comes up twice on everyone else’s computer), but just wanted to say I really like KERA and especially your show. I am new to Denton and was wondering if you play every Monday at Dan’s Silver Leaf or just last Monday. Hope to see it sometime…
Thanks!
every monday night at Dans 11pm
every tuesday at Lolas ^th street in FW 11pm
come out and say hi
welcome to Denton , my home sweet home
cheers
That was amazing…i how you get you a new show on the new station…
make sure and share if you find anything good.
Thank you
Also for some future show could you play ‘Hide and Seek’ by Imogen Heap?
I love me some Imogen
I will see if I can mix it in next time
this is the first I’ve heard of his solo work
any of the Black Keys albums are strong though
His latest solo effort is solid, although there’s a a couple clunkers.
Nice addendum to the Black Keys vibe.
robert johnson. you are speaking to my heart.
