Good morning. Bob Carpenter interesting, lived in voice.

Vashti interview will air in the 8-9:00 hour. It runs about 51 minutes.

Good morning Jeffrey. Great start to your show. Very much looking forward to Vashti Bunyan. I lived in Scotland for 12 years and saw her play in Glasgow in early 2007. Her speaking and singing voice give me shivers. A beautiful new record too. Enjoy your conversation.

Good morning, Jeffrey and GfC. Hiya, BeaVo. Diggin' the show's lovely start.

Hello Jeffrey. What-ho Sem, gopf (I have a Peugeot too, the electronics are ghostly).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:28am
Sem Chumbo:

Hiya, Brian. Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, I suppose. Peugot? The French ought to stick to cheese, it is sufficiently anarchic without building motor cars.

BEAVO:

Got the complete set of Basement Tapes, great stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35am
Brian in UK:

The car is great just the electronics. I turn the ignition on, it reads 'electronic ignition failure. Put the handbrake on 'Brake fluid low' Not a good selling point. It has done 180,000 miles though.
@BEAVO is it worth the admission fee? Any Danko singing?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54am
Sem Chumbo:

I truly hate electronics in cars.Give me a ride which can be repaired with spit, baling wiring and inspired invective.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57am
Brian in UK:

Lucinda's voice is taking some getting used to on this album.
I always associated Compassion with her early work. This is one of her Dad's poems set to music.
Avatar 6:58am
BEAVO:

There is a Danko lead vocal version of One too Many Mornings. And a lot of backing vocals. I thought I had about everything on boots for years but there is quite a bit more not mentioned in the books. The sound quality is improved. Except the extra disc. Which is the rawer stuff.

Briggs and Drake. Of course!

Mark:

That Nick Drake one is an old favorite of mine. I have to say, "Shrunken Planet" is one of my favorite shows, week in and week out. This is the right vibe for early Saturday morning (or VERY late Friday night) for me.

loving this set. never heard of tudor lodge before.

Lovely mix of sounds - for a Saturday lunchtime in Borehamwood, near London

You're not the Alan Clark from the Hollies, are you?!

...And the Trees, June Tabor, Fairport C. all sound great. A real British Isles feel here this cold NYC day.

has renaissance, either relf version or second iteration seen any love on this show?
  7:47am
Alan Clark:

No, not that one I'm afraid. His surname is Clarke with an e. I'm not the keyboard player for Dire Straits either I'm afraid. My only claim to fame is as a punk poet on Tyneside see http:/www.apclark.com

TDK60:

Checked your site, Alan C. Interesting. Among other things, you're anti-nuke; me too. Recall when they used to call us "kooks"?
  8:04am
Mark:

He seems like a very cool, interesting fellow TDK. We have a lot in common. Yes, we were kooks--then the Japanese built a nuclear reactor on a fault line on the shores of the Pacific. What could go wrong? No more sushi for me. (I preferred TDK90's myself--one album per side.)
  8:06am
Alan Clark:

Vashti Bunyan's renaissance in the UK began when her music was used in a mobile phone advert on TV in 2006. She's officially a Geordie as she was born in Newcastle on Tyne, although she only lived there for six months

TDK60:

Mark: Oh, I like 90 min. too. Yeah, two albums can fit if not too long, like many albums since CDs went up to 60-, 75 min. 60 min. are good for short mix tapes, eh? Also do like 90 min. mix tapes.

TDK60:

Are there still Travellers in England?
  8:17am
Alan Clark:

I got heavily involved in the antinuke movement in the UK in the late 70s/early 80s. I protesed about the Torness power station, but I was also in the CND, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmanent. I had a lot of nightmares about a nuclear attack. I guess many of us did - including Bob Dylan of course.
Avatar 8:19am
TDK60:

Alan, yes there were many UK punk songs about nukes-- both nuke power and bombs. Also pop; recall XTC's 'Living Through Another Cuba'?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:24am
Sem Chumbo:

Gotta hand it to Jeffrey. Well prepared, not intrusive. It is almost like he has done this before:-D.
Wonderful entirely. Thanks.
Avatar 8:27am
TDK60:

Great interview; off to work, will check the rest later via archive.
  8:28am
Alan Clark:

I do recall some XTC songs, but not that one. My real introduction to the subject was seeing 'The War Game' , a film by Pater Watkins which was banned by the BBC, but shown on the alternative cinema circuit. Watkins' work is still controversial. Did you ever see 'Punishment Park', shot in the desert in California?

saw Vashti play at the old South Paw in brooklyn, great show... love the interview...

Great little club, Southpaw. Not sure why they closed, but there are now several music venues in Park Slope.

...huh - I was just thinking DJ JD has a unique Interview style here - an interesting compare/contrast to say Terry Gross - 50+ minutes very conversational - not like Interviews I hear anywhere else I can point right to top of my head...
