Did not know Neil Young was on the recording. Thank you, All Knowing Host...

Wow, like the reification of an mp3!
Avatar 12:06pm Michael:

A co-worker, who's also a drummer, informed me there is a new doc on Netflix about Jaco, called...Jaco. He enjoyed it and recommended it.

Sounds promising, Michael.

  12:46pm Listening Out There:

"Johnny Angel" not necessary...
  12:47pm Listening Out There:

"S" does come after "J" in the alphabet...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm doctorjazz:

Great Bromberg track, another kicking around in my distant memory.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:49pm Charlie:

taking some liberties with the alphabet to expose the beastie boys - david bromberg connection

@Charlie a Vlada song for V?

A late greeting to coelacanth. Hello Jeff G!
Guessing Out There: there are just so many songs to pick from!
Avatar 1:08pm Stashu:

I have this funny feeling that this version of Lola is my favorite one ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Charlie:

I love it too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm listener james from westwood:

That Lola does indeed rock. Glad to hear Nouvelle Vague, too.
Avatar 1:13pm geezerette:

Nouvelle Vague is lovely.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm coelacanth:

i quite like this too. ...my favorite xtc song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Jeff Golick:

Does Nouvelle Vague also cover "Peace Frog" on this record?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm coelacanth:

'lots of activity here. i hope i can stick around to find out what song is about a name starting with "X".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm Charlie:

Haha, Jeff, no! You've already heard the Peace Frog cover on this show:) The Nouvelle Vague album is all covers of early eighties bands.
Avatar 1:19pm geezerette:

Love "Pablo Picasso"! So funny.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Charlie:

coelacanth -- I'm cheating for the "X" song. I do have an "X" instrumental, but I'm saving it for the all-instrumental songs-with-names-in-the-titles show :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm Charlie:

Salvador Dali, on mobiles: "The least one can ask of a piece of sculpture is that it does not move."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm listener james from westwood:

Now I wanna watch Repo Man.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm coelacanth:

ha! - well, i know of songs that start with X, but i'm not thinking of any name song with X.
...it seems like there should be a song to or from a mistress (or mister) who signs her (his) correspondences with an "X".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Parq:

Pablo never got called an A-hole by a woman he was trying to get into bed. By women he got into bed and then forgot about, maybe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm coelacanth:

(or a song about a Xenia)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:27pm listener james from westwood:

@coelacanth: "Love Theme from 'X—The Man with X-Ray Eyes"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm Charlie:

hey, Parq -- that's what I'm talkin' about!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm coelacanth:

aha..."Madame X", right?
  1:29pm from lewes to lewis:

whoops...late tuning in....what'd I miss?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Jeff Golick:

(Just remembering I tried a similar theme in a less orderly or successful fashion a time ago: wfmu.org...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Parq:

An alternative if you ever decide to do this again: The 'kicker band BR5-49 did sort of an answer song to that Ramones song, called "Little Ramona's Gone Hillbilly Nuts".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:31pm Charlie:

I'll add it to the list, Parq.
Hello, Peter :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:32pm Charlie:

Looks good, Jeff -- you got my brother Jorge Ben's song in there!
  1:32pm from lewes to lewis:

aw shucks....that obvious?
  1:35pm from lewes to lewis:

big day here in blighty. are we europeans or are we devo?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat is this. Charlie- I'm sorry but I think you've found gold. Again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm coelacanth:

hahaha! i haven't heard "swimming with sharon" since the 80s. i have no good excuse to have forgotten about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Charlie:

Stash -- "Swimming with Sharon"? Here:

CHARLIE THANK YOU! Everyone should read that! Now I can't wait to listen to more!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm doctorjazz:

Nice V, we going Zorba for Z?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm doctorjazz:

Fun show, thanks Charlie! Birthday party next, got my hat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm Parq:

I'm guessing with X, you're going to have to fudge a bit and go with Xanadu.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:45pm coelacanth:

hmm, that article says the shuttleworths was the 90s...i would've sworn i heard it in the 80s; but then, it's all a bit of a blur.
