I only now figured out how to blog to the show. I’ve been sending my messages to Facebook! I look forward to next week. Peace.

Actually, from that album, they even played some jazz standards (wth the Hung Low Horns) with a funk riff (”Take The A Train,” for instance.). But yeah, they had some original stuff like “Hippy Chick.” I was actually pretty closed-minded back then (Zappa was beyond my comprehension. Heck, he still is, for the most part.), so it must be fairly accessable for people to appreciate.

Seems to be a bunch of Michael Jackson from the ’70s. (Damn his little voice was a bright laser.)
Now it’s Motown. I’m going to check out KNTU for Block Of Rock.

Hey I’ll second that. I was perusing YouTube for disco today (in memory of the anniv. of ‘79 disco demolition in chicago) and watched “Pull Up to the Bumper” all the way through.

Oh, how I blasted the Program Director by letter when KERA left its old music format. To his credit, Jeff L. sent me a very nice, reasoned response. But why oh why can’t we go back to the wonderment that was KERA Overnight, at least? Kim Corbich (sp?) would play some completely bizarre stuff that I’d never heard of, and couldn’t find anyone else (except for other KERA night listeners) who had heard of it, either.

I’ll have to agree that Paul Slavens would be the rightful successor to that throne, should KERA get back on track and ditch BBC at night. (Bah.) We who work deep nights would be in heaven.

That said, I’m about to switch over to 89.3 FM to catch Weird Warren Harris’ “Sonic Burrito,” from 11P to Midnight.

believe me, I have been amazed time and time again that I had totally missed artists who were hugely popular, or influential.
All Im sayin is that there is no way to hear everthing there is out there.
Old and new, local and international. Its a wonderful endless adventure of discovery
thanks for being part of it.

Paul, think you’ll be given a spot on the new 91.7? I can’t think of a person more qualified and it would be a blessing on the bland airwaves of dfw. If you haven’t been offered I’m officially requesting you get a daily show. And if any of ya’ll agree chime in and be heard/seen!

Oh, man. I always considered myself a pretty “well-read” jazz fan, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard Sun Ra…. I see I have much to learn…. thank you so much for the track!

Cheers!

“I am denton proud !! lived here for the last 25 years”

Great! Find us some Good Foot! I loved them so much that, when they played a reunion concert in 1994, I skipped a night of classes at my police academy to attend it. Anyone have a line on any of their work? I have lost my single tape of their album “Strung Out On Beef, No Doubt.” They were especially active as a funk band in Denton in 1990, ‘91.
