Listener comments!
	10:01pm Aitch: Lets all get Merry
	10:02pm MHLee: Hi Aitch
	10:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening
	10:04pm Yvang: Hi MHLee, Aitch and lost bananas!
	10:04pm MHLee: Hi Rev Rabbit and Yvang
	10:05pm Yvang: Hi Rabbit!
	10:05pm MHLee: Interesting they released this is 1966 as sort of a roots of grace slick album
	10:13pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "The Laird" by "Mountain" Climbing doesn't feel like it should be a debut album... very put together
	10:13pm MHLee: I guess it helps the bass player produced Disraeli Gears
	10:15pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Dream" by "Orpheus" this is nice
	10:15pm MHLee: ↳ Aitch @10:15 It's the odd song on the album. The rest of it has the feeling of blood sweat and tears with the horns missing.
	10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 🌿💐 Joyeux Beltane Pagan Freakz ! 💐🌿
	10:18pm MHLee: Time to burn something, I suppose
	10:19pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "1860" by "Arthur" pitchfork.com...
	10:26pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "If I Were a Carpenter" by "American Blues Exchange" Got to be the oddest interpretation i've heard of this one
	10:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @10:26 Before even MovingSidewalks then huh ?
	10:29pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:27 That's the other half of ZZ Top
	10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @10:29 Right got it.
	10:31pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:29 Texas had such a good music scene
	10:32pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Donovan's Reef" by "Country Joe & the Fish" I've always thought people were too quick to dismiss this band because the two songs that made it into the Woodstock movie aren't showcasing their abilities
	10:35pm Chuck: Barry Meltons guitar was so ahead of its time!!!...:)
	10:36pm MHLee: ↳ Chuck @10:35 Absolutely and the way it plays off the organ is always great!
	10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @10:32 Having grown up watching 'MontereyPop' on TV like once a year - I didn't have that problem. Also - CJ & the Fish's 1st album is indispensable.
	10:38pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Movement" by "P.R.O. (People Rock Outfit)" Note on album. "Warning this pakket contains a contact bomb And will explode if placed on any record deck. Handle at your own risk !"
	10:39pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:38 They have a great performance there
	10:40pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Movement" by "P.R.O. (People Rock Outfit)" Think this is the only song on the album with this vocalist. Only song that sounds like this for sure. Tight rhythm.
	10:46pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Distortions of Darkness" by "The 31 Flavors" That track listing is absolutely not the order on the album
	10:47pm Chuck: Oh man..!.. we are rolling along quite merrily right now!!!!...:)
	10:49pm Aitch: Some of the 31 Hair Flavours might be a bit challenging
	10:49pm MHLee: ↳ Aitch @10:49 Their version of Hair is QUITE challenging
	10:50pm MHLee: Was listening to this album the other day and was struck by how heavy some of the Green work gets
	10:51pm MHLee: Like this part
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @10:50 Green was just Spooky.
	10:56pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:52 His guitar sound is also so versatile.
	10:57pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Leg" by "Uriel" Pre-Gong Steve Hillage
	10:59pm Aitch: ↳ MHLee @10:57 quite the racket
	11:07pm MHLee: Apologies for the background noise here
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Shield" by "Deep Purple" Appreciate Blackmore for being upfront how much he got from Hendrix. A lot of people kinda try & deflect attention from that...
	11:16pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:15 A few years ago there were some great curated playlists with commentary from the deep purple folks on spotify
	11:16pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Eleanor Rigby" by "Sandy Coast" Not quite up there with the Zoot version
	11:17pm MHLee: ↳ Aitch @11:16 Never heard that one actually
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "We're Going Wrong (Mono Version)" by "Cream" As a little kid - this album had all my sustained & acute attention.
	11:21pm Aitch: Zoot, with a very young Rick Springfield on guitar. www.youtube.com...
	11:22pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 This album makes the list on top 100 albums I made once. I actually took album, rated every song and then made a list.
	11:22pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Magical Musical Box" by "Del Shannon" This album has an extremely lack luster album cover imo
	11:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @11:22 Maybe as dark as he turned out to be.
	11:26pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:23 Just read he could've ended up in the Travelling Wilburys
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @11:26 Yeah.
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Red Chair, Fade Away" by "Bee Gees" HBD cover artist Klaus Voormann.
	11:28pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:26 The fifth Beatle, didn't know he did covers.
	11:29pm Erik/VermonT: Dang … I missed the Black Merda song ! - imo, Black Merda remain under appreciated & overlooked.
	11:29pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Sunshine People" by "Paper Garden" The guitar work on this has a fuzzier garage tone then you would expect.
	11:30pm MHLee: ↳ Erik/VermonT @11:29 Some reviews I have found really disliked the vocal work.
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ MHLee @11:29 That's like this whole symbolic thing in ny head ...the point where snotty Fuzz boxes that cut your sustain became heavy Distortion that extended it...
	11:33pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:31 I've seen that album called the American answer to SGT Peppers but it didn't go anywhere I think
	11:33pm MHLee: The album cover is one of those you could spend a lot of time studying
	11:35pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" by "Donovan" This song kind of creeps me out. The xylophone and organ is eerie and the lyrics are surreal.
	11:38pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Старый рояль (Old Grand Piano)" by "Цветы" en.wikipedia.org...
	11:39pm MHLee: Band got dissolved and banned by the Ministry of Culture
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Watching a Merry Pranksters doc on an App with the sound off. Heady stuff all this. :)
	11:45pm MHLee: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:44 Sounds like a time
	11:46pm Mike Rogers: MHLee san! Hi!
	11:47pm MHLee: Hi Mike!
	11:48pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "St. James Infirmary" by "The Standells" This is a remarkable cover. I was only familiar with All Fall Down until recently
	11:48pm MHLee: Just absolutely giving it their all.
	11:49pm Mike Rogers: Just chilling now. Lunch break!
	11:51pm MHLee: ↳ Mike Rogers @11:49 You are 13 hours ahead of EST there?
	11:53pm Aitch: With enough horse on board you probably wouldn't notice a sore throat after recording that one
	11:56pm Yvang: Thanks! Nice show!
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been hella kewl. ~ TY DJ MHLee ~
	11:56pm MHLee: Thanks Yvang!
	11:56pm Aitch: Almost entirely unloved on WFMU is german Prog, Birth Control. It's really good
	11:58pm MHLee: ↳ Aitch @11:56 Will give it a listening
	12:00am Mike Rogers: Thanks!
	12:00am Aitch: Here. Thanks for show. en.wikipedia.org...

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from April 30, 2023

View MHLee's profile

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Friday 8 - 9am (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room
