Listener comments!
	7:03pm LadyChanticleer: Present! Loving it. LOVE your vibe.
	7:04pm Listener Gregory: Hello, DJP. I’m here for about half an hour. My internet is working for once.
	7:06pm doctorjazz: Hey DJ Peter and Time Lords!
	7:06pm Listener Gregory: Joe Farrell was part of Elvin’s band for some time. Excellent band, IMHO.
	7:06pm DJ Peter: Hi Lady C! There aren't rivers near Marfa, are there? But you've known them? LG hello! I'll try to frontload some stuff with you in mind! Hi Doctor... Who?
	7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:06 Love Joe Farrell! His CTI albums were very influential on music school kids in the 1970s I think. But kinda forgotten now?
	7:09pm Hill Country Fox: I have been on a real flute kick of late...Hey ya--lots of jazz lads talking flautists these days. ;)
	7:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:08 He never played alto as far as I know and that's why I suspect it's actually Jerome Richardson on this track.
	7:10pm DJ Peter: Hey Fox! Back from Denton?
	7:11pm Listener Gregory: Boy it sounds v Dolphyish.
	7:11pm Dallas Fair Fox: Oh yeah, I'm still here... Dallas/Denton today and Houston tomorrow. Following musicians around TX.
	7:11pm Dallas Fair Fox: moltenplains.com
	7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 agree!
	7:13pm Listener Gregory: Farrell’s later albums on Contemporary (?) were really good, straight-ahead affairs.
	7:14pm DJ Peter: I guess he zigged when tastes zagged?
	7:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:06 There was a nice "Complete" Mosaic box set of Elvin Jones' Blue Note sessions. Lots of Farrell (and other great players) on it.
	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Number One" by "Cecil Taylor" This is cool!
	7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 Yeah, I was one of the first in line for that one. (I mean I guess I could check the number and see whether that's true.)
	7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:09 The NY Times had a feature on jazz flute... www.nytimes.com...
	7:18pm Dallas Fair Fox: Joe McPhee did two nights of performances: first nite duo with Zoh Amba and second nite trio with Carmina Escobar and David Dove. (Obviously, I am biased but they were the stand outs of the fest. But Sean Meehan was incredible so instead of going home, I am leaving from Dallas to see him play in Houston on Monday.
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Prompted by Andre 3000 I'm gonna guess!
	7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 I think mine must have been a promo-there's a dlmedia promo/summary in the box (think I found it at Princeton Record Exchange)
	7:19pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I am a proud owner of that Mosaic set.
	7:20pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Oh yes, I am following the jazz flute discourse closely--hot f'ing topic at my work watercooler ...
	7:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "April March" by "Bob Brookmeyer" This LP was recorded in the same month as an album by Mel Lewis Orchestra of Brookmeyer charts, everyone here was drawn from the big band. I got this recently and only occurred to me a few days ago that it's a companion album.
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dervish" by "8 Bold Souls" I rememberI remember this album-haven't pulled it out in ages, nice to hear it!
	7:27pm doctorjazz: Here in COVID isolation (think I'll go stir crazy over the next few days).
	7:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:26 Wow it took me forever to find this one!
	7:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:27 The Drummer family will do our best to take you out, virtually.
	7:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:27 It got some notice when it came out, got it then.
	7:29pm DJ Peter: Doc: stay tuned for an important Don Pullen related announcement coming up on the next mic break!
	7:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:29 I didn't hear of it until Francis Davis wrote it up in OUTCATS.
	7:32pm Listener Gregory: When I lived in Illinois, 8 Bold Souls was on the jazz radio.
	7:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:29 I also have Ant Farms by 8 Bold Souls in the racks (also haven't heard it in a while).
	7:35pm Listener Gregory: I would like to hear forward announcements for a change.
	7:35pm Dallas Fair Fox: Stop all the carping... lol. *Lady C*
	7:36pm doctorjazz: I can carp, but I more often flounder...
	7:39pm Dallas Fair Fox: I have an Octagonal caftan. And thanks for asking: I like from top to last song. Then the mic set mirrors the sequential order, which is the order you selected the songs to play in. It really throws me off how dj's reverse for the mic sets.
	7:40pm coelacanth∅: you could solve the mic break non-issue by playing only crappy music in the background. and "forward announcing" is inconsiderate.
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 I will say I was lucky to hear them at a free outdoor jazz festival in Iowa City during the early 1990s.
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 I have one on CD, might be that one.
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: I have never heard of anyone being a Monty Budwig fan. I find it a difficult concept to grasp.
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:35 The Clock is not amused. Do not mess with Time.
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 Bass player here. No one said we have standard tastes.
	7:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Salute to Charlie Christian" by "Monty Budwig" Not familiar with Budwig-nice track! I'm OK with forward announcing, I'm OK with back announcing, doesn't matter much. I'm OK with good musicians playing the bed music (but I have a particular fondness for Don Pullen, that's what my problem is...)
	7:44pm Listener Gregory: Two basses? Time for me to leave and forage for dinner. Thanks a lot, DJP!
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:44 Bon appetit, LG!
	7:47pm doctorjazz: Looks to be a bass forward set (you know Henry Threadgill's X-75 V1 has a track, Fi Fi Fo Fum, which has 4 basses (and 4 flutes, and a vocalist). Love that track!
	7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:47 Another Mosaic I ordered immediately upon announcement!
	7:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:50 I have the Mosaic, and the original album (the Mosaic answered the question, why was there a v1, and never a v2? the answer; they had recorded a v2, but it wasn't released, until the Mosaic box)
	7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:52 Doc you clearly were better informed and had a better LP budget than I, back then!
	7:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 Not so sure about the better budget, just more tolerance to living in debt...
	7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:43 i don't bother now, i just let it go - but i used to keep a pen & paper handy to write down the entire list of songs played if it was "forward announced", so to then count them back to the song(s) i wanted to note. a waste of time that a backannounce would've rendered unnecessary. of course it's a moot point if have the computer on; but i don't always.
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Down the Field" by "The Yale Banjo Club with "Sle... This is cute! That jazz style banjo chordal playing from the 20's.
	7:57pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 i want back announced in sequential order....not sure the dj term for it but i think it's reverse cowgirl. ;
	7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 I can see that-generally have either a computer or phone nearby to keep track of things (could always go to the archives to find things you REALLY need to know about).
	8:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @7:57 well, since you put it like that, i guess i'm fine with forward announcing... cowgirl.
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: (but i understand why you prefer reverse cowgirl!)
	8:03pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 And you should know that I always have a very sharp Ticonderoga Black #2 pencil...ready to go.
	8:04pm Dean: Where's that fish shack?
	8:05pm DJ Peter: Hi coelacanthø: I think I did something similar back in the day.
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:58 yes there's the archives. and play it until i hear the track... there're only so many minutes left!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:00 That's an awesome VW pic! Driveable?
	8:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:03 and i keep my quill handy. useful at both ends.
	8:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 That IS a really crazy bug!
	8:07pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean. Which shack?
	8:07pm Dean: The photo up top.
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 it IS driveable! and mostly see-through; but for some reason not the engine compartment.
	8:08pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:06 yessssssss.
	8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:08 Oh too bad. I think the watchmakers call that "skeletonized," when the engine itself is see through.
	8:10pm Dean: I'm a fan of suburban malls, and that fish shack appears to reside in one.
	8:10pm coelacanth∅: here's another shot
	8:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:10 even the license plate is cool
	8:14pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "The Enemy of Light: 1) Drones and Clones" by "Ant... You KNOW i'm a fan...
	8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:14 I know you know i know!
	8:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Enemy of Light: 1) Drones and Clones" by "Ant... Liked that!
	8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:17 1983... what kind of "drone" do you figure he's referring to? I should check the liner notes...
	8:18pm coelacanth∅: this guy's ( external-content.duckduckgo.com... )is more thoroughly see-through, but not as Beautiful. (still very impressive) if i were making it i'd just adorn every visible internal part, right down to the wires, the back of the light fixtures, the fuel tank...
	8:19pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Alone Again, Naturally" by "Bunky Green" cigarette smoke just blew spontaneously out my mouth...
	8:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:18 Wow! No windshield though. Ten Gallon hatpin necessary.
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:19 See, I'm trying to get to Lady C's vibe!
	8:21pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 this totally sounds like something we would play...I'm cueing up Get Straight after this in my mind.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:19 yeah why'd he take all the glass out!
	8:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:18 Also occured to me how much the meaning has changed since then...
	8:24pm bigplanetnoise: Greetings, DJ Pete and all!
	8:24pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" You are killing me tonite...
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" Don't think I've ever seen this one...cool! (good crate digging)
	8:25pm coelacanth∅: hi Bob! did y'all get spared by the twister?
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" Not the most audiophile of recordings, though...
	8:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:24 Hey BPN, hope all is well down your way!
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:24 Well I'm not playing any of the LPs that were total busts :-)
	8:26pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Coel - yes - all good. Sadly, others were not as fortunate.
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: Well, the restaurant kicked me out, so I’m back. But I’m happy to have missed the Gilbert O’Sullivan fest and to have caught Ornette!
	8:27pm bigplanetnoise: Hi docjazz!
	8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:24 Hey BPN! I just left a note about your movie soundtrack premium on the Monday playlist!
	8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:26 He takes it out, LG!
	8:27pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete - cool! Thank you!
	8:27pm Dean: Lucky Louie is at SEA-TAC. Nice.
	8:29pm DJ Peter: Oh THAT shack! Yeah I may have picked up a couple of these LPs while passing through the PNW
	8:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:26 oh shit; i see... 6 people + many injured
	8:30pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete - you know what I say… the worse the movie, the more I’m prob gonna dig it!
	8:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This" by "The Henry Threadgill Sextet" One of my favorite groups!!! (saw them back in the day)
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:30 Lining up all the movies on "Galaxy A Go-Go" would be a great weekend festival!
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:30 Very envious! I didn't cotton on until they got wider distribution on RCA Novus.
	8:32pm bigplanetnoise: DJ P - that’s my kinda weekend!
	8:33pm Listener Gregory: Discogs says Haden and Blackwell with Ornette. What do you think, Peter?
	8:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:33 That's what I hear... clearly Haden's solo style, sounds like Blackwell too.
	8:34pm Little Danny: Diggin this, hi Peter!
	8:35pm DJ Peter: Hey Danny!
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: I think Threadgill is the most reliable composer and bandleader of his time. The quality of his work is almost always extremely high, to this day. That is my opinion.
	8:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:36 No arguments, but the Sextet albums are brilliant, imo
	8:41pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Dreams (Alternate Take)" by "Susie Ibarra Trio" that got me pumped for your bed music show! such a good idea. carp. carp. ;)
	8:42pm doctorjazz: I have 4 Threadgill Sextet albums-Subject to Change, You Know the Number, Rag Bush and All, and When Was That (which was my favorite, if I remember correctly).
	8:42pm Listener Gregory: I have a Patrick Williams album from my time in California (long ago) that is a long orchestral jazz suite that wasn’t bad. I must have heard it on KJAZ.
	8:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 (I thought you said there were 3, but maybe I misheard)
	8:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:43 3 on "About Time," 3 more on "RCA Novus"
	8:45pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 Don't be coy Doc J...you know you have them ranked in a spreadsheet!
	8:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:44 Ahhh, the RCA/Novus are all on the Mosaic Threadgill box!
	8:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:45 Boy, would THAT be nice!!! (and not me, unfortunately).
	8:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cottontail" by "Jimmy Rowles" 👍👍👍
	8:48pm Listener Gregory: I find I own Subject to Change, and have retrieved it from the dungeon for active consideration. Thanks for reminding me of it.
	8:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:48 There are two questionable vocal tracks, but I'm sure you'll dig the rest
	8:50pm doctorjazz: I don't have the patience (or the back) for crate digging these days (not much since the pandemic). Discogs, Bandcamp, and Reissues keep me occupied.
	8:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:45 I actually did have a database of my LP's and CD's in the 90s (too much time to kill), but it's long gone, and quite out of date if I did dig it up.
	8:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Peacocks" by "Jimmy Rowles" Like the cover!
	8:53pm Listener Gregory: Bill Evans did this song beautifully a number of times (Peacocks).
	8:54pm doctorjazz: The biggest pain is wearing a mask AT HOME around my family (not sure it'll help, I had mild symptoms a day or so before I tested...)
	8:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Peacocks" by "Jimmy Rowles" Heavy on the pedal, seems. Nice tracks!
	8:55pm Dean: I've always wondered whether Rowles wrote this after Wallace Stevens' "Domination in Black." Anybody?
	8:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:55 no idea!
	8:56pm doctorjazz: Great Crate Digging, DJ Peter (hope your back and knees have recovered). Fun show, thanks!
	8:57pm Dallas Fair Fox: Yep, thx Peter another good one. Well buddies... this is when my gtdr coach turns back into a pumpkin. Enjoyed spending another Sunday with most of you...
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:51 i have a notebook of my physical media, in alphabetical order and specifying the format(s). then i have a notebook of my cassette tapes, which are stored numerically; so each numbered entree is cross-referenced with the alphabetical notebook. then i have another notebook listing them by "genre" or "style" -which i never finished. but many things never got logged in, for various reasons.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: I thought The Peacocks refers to their (annoying) call, which is heard in the song.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter!
	9:00pm Dallas Fair Fox: OK, now you have actually killed me. Garfield. LOL. Rip me.
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter
	9:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @9:00 I try to kill you at least once per show. Not all the way kill you of course.
	9:01pm Hill Country Fox: The Lazarus effect!!!!!
	5:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:23 Looking at the LP now: "drones and clones" refers to the compositional structure of this movement. D'oh! I shoulda caught on to that!
	5:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:52 Rowles own drawing!
	🕰 6:43pm Jeff Golick: Great show; just catching up to it. New to me Cecil and Ornette two highlights, plus Rowles' own Peacocks. Thanks, DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from December 10, 2023

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Number One" by "Cecil Taylor" This is cool!
	7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 Yeah, I was one of the first in line for that one. (I mean I guess I could check the number and see whether that's true.)
	7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:09 The NY Times had a feature on jazz flute... www.nytimes.com...
	7:18pm Dallas Fair Fox: Joe McPhee did two nights of performances: first nite duo with Zoh Amba and second nite trio with Carmina Escobar and David Dove. (Obviously, I am biased but they were the stand outs of the fest. But Sean Meehan was incredible so instead of going home, I am leaving from Dallas to see him play in Houston on Monday.
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Prompted by Andre 3000 I'm gonna guess!
	7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 I think mine must have been a promo-there's a dlmedia promo/summary in the box (think I found it at Princeton Record Exchange)
	7:19pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I am a proud owner of that Mosaic set.
	7:20pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Oh yes, I am following the jazz flute discourse closely--hot f'ing topic at my work watercooler ...
	7:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "April March" by "Bob Brookmeyer" This LP was recorded in the same month as an album by Mel Lewis Orchestra of Brookmeyer charts, everyone here was drawn from the big band. I got this recently and only occurred to me a few days ago that it's a companion album.
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dervish" by "8 Bold Souls" I rememberI remember this album-haven't pulled it out in ages, nice to hear it!
	7:27pm doctorjazz: Here in COVID isolation (think I'll go stir crazy over the next few days).
	7:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:26 Wow it took me forever to find this one!
	7:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:27 The Drummer family will do our best to take you out, virtually.
	7:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:27 It got some notice when it came out, got it then.
	7:29pm DJ Peter: Doc: stay tuned for an important Don Pullen related announcement coming up on the next mic break!
	7:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:29 I didn't hear of it until Francis Davis wrote it up in OUTCATS.
	7:32pm Listener Gregory: When I lived in Illinois, 8 Bold Souls was on the jazz radio.
	7:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:29 I also have Ant Farms by 8 Bold Souls in the racks (also haven't heard it in a while).
	7:35pm Listener Gregory: I would like to hear forward announcements for a change.
	7:35pm Dallas Fair Fox: Stop all the carping... lol. *Lady C*
	7:36pm doctorjazz: I can carp, but I more often flounder...
	7:39pm Dallas Fair Fox: I have an Octagonal caftan. And thanks for asking: I like from top to last song. Then the mic set mirrors the sequential order, which is the order you selected the songs to play in. It really throws me off how dj's reverse for the mic sets.
	7:40pm coelacanth∅: you could solve the mic break non-issue by playing only crappy music in the background. and "forward announcing" is inconsiderate.
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 I will say I was lucky to hear them at a free outdoor jazz festival in Iowa City during the early 1990s.
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:34 I have one on CD, might be that one.
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: I have never heard of anyone being a Monty Budwig fan. I find it a difficult concept to grasp.
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:35 The Clock is not amused. Do not mess with Time.
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 Bass player here. No one said we have standard tastes.
	7:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Salute to Charlie Christian" by "Monty Budwig" Not familiar with Budwig-nice track! I'm OK with forward announcing, I'm OK with back announcing, doesn't matter much. I'm OK with good musicians playing the bed music (but I have a particular fondness for Don Pullen, that's what my problem is...)
	7:44pm Listener Gregory: Two basses? Time for me to leave and forage for dinner. Thanks a lot, DJP!
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:44 Bon appetit, LG!
	7:47pm doctorjazz: Looks to be a bass forward set (you know Henry Threadgill's X-75 V1 has a track, Fi Fi Fo Fum, which has 4 basses (and 4 flutes, and a vocalist). Love that track!
	7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:47 Another Mosaic I ordered immediately upon announcement!
	7:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:50 I have the Mosaic, and the original album (the Mosaic answered the question, why was there a v1, and never a v2? the answer; they had recorded a v2, but it wasn't released, until the Mosaic box)
	7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:52 Doc you clearly were better informed and had a better LP budget than I, back then!
	7:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 Not so sure about the better budget, just more tolerance to living in debt...
	7:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:43 i don't bother now, i just let it go - but i used to keep a pen & paper handy to write down the entire list of songs played if it was "forward announced", so to then count them back to the song(s) i wanted to note. a waste of time that a backannounce would've rendered unnecessary. of course it's a moot point if have the computer on; but i don't always.
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Down the Field" by "The Yale Banjo Club with "Sle... This is cute! That jazz style banjo chordal playing from the 20's.
	7:57pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 i want back announced in sequential order....not sure the dj term for it but i think it's reverse cowgirl. ;
	7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 I can see that-generally have either a computer or phone nearby to keep track of things (could always go to the archives to find things you REALLY need to know about).
	8:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @7:57 well, since you put it like that, i guess i'm fine with forward announcing... cowgirl.
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: (but i understand why you prefer reverse cowgirl!)
	8:03pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:55 And you should know that I always have a very sharp Ticonderoga Black #2 pencil...ready to go.
	8:04pm Dean: Where's that fish shack?
	8:05pm DJ Peter: Hi coelacanthø: I think I did something similar back in the day.
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @7:58 yes there's the archives. and play it until i hear the track... there're only so many minutes left!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:00 That's an awesome VW pic! Driveable?
	8:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:03 and i keep my quill handy. useful at both ends.
	8:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 That IS a really crazy bug!
	8:07pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean. Which shack?
	8:07pm Dean: The photo up top.
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 it IS driveable! and mostly see-through; but for some reason not the engine compartment.
	8:08pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:06 yessssssss.
	8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:08 Oh too bad. I think the watchmakers call that "skeletonized," when the engine itself is see through.
	8:10pm Dean: I'm a fan of suburban malls, and that fish shack appears to reside in one.
	8:10pm coelacanth∅: here's another shot
	8:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:10 even the license plate is cool
	8:14pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "The Enemy of Light: 1) Drones and Clones" by "Ant... You KNOW i'm a fan...
	8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:14 I know you know i know!
	8:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Enemy of Light: 1) Drones and Clones" by "Ant... Liked that!
	8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:17 1983... what kind of "drone" do you figure he's referring to? I should check the liner notes...
	8:18pm coelacanth∅: this guy's ( external-content.duckduckgo.com... )is more thoroughly see-through, but not as Beautiful. (still very impressive) if i were making it i'd just adorn every visible internal part, right down to the wires, the back of the light fixtures, the fuel tank...
	8:19pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Alone Again, Naturally" by "Bunky Green" cigarette smoke just blew spontaneously out my mouth...
	8:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:18 Wow! No windshield though. Ten Gallon hatpin necessary.
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:19 See, I'm trying to get to Lady C's vibe!
	8:21pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 this totally sounds like something we would play...I'm cueing up Get Straight after this in my mind.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:19 yeah why'd he take all the glass out!
	8:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:18 Also occured to me how much the meaning has changed since then...
	8:24pm bigplanetnoise: Greetings, DJ Pete and all!
	8:24pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" You are killing me tonite...
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" Don't think I've ever seen this one...cool! (good crate digging)
	8:25pm coelacanth∅: hi Bob! did y'all get spared by the twister?
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Track 3" by "Ornette Coleman" Not the most audiophile of recordings, though...
	8:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:24 Hey BPN, hope all is well down your way!
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:24 Well I'm not playing any of the LPs that were total busts :-)
	8:26pm bigplanetnoise: Hi Coel - yes - all good. Sadly, others were not as fortunate.
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: Well, the restaurant kicked me out, so I’m back. But I’m happy to have missed the Gilbert O’Sullivan fest and to have caught Ornette!
	8:27pm bigplanetnoise: Hi docjazz!
	8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:24 Hey BPN! I just left a note about your movie soundtrack premium on the Monday playlist!
	8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:26 He takes it out, LG!
	8:27pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete - cool! Thank you!
	8:27pm Dean: Lucky Louie is at SEA-TAC. Nice.
	8:29pm DJ Peter: Oh THAT shack! Yeah I may have picked up a couple of these LPs while passing through the PNW
	8:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:26 oh shit; i see... 6 people + many injured
	8:30pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete - you know what I say… the worse the movie, the more I’m prob gonna dig it!
	8:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This" by "The Henry Threadgill Sextet" One of my favorite groups!!! (saw them back in the day)
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:30 Lining up all the movies on "Galaxy A Go-Go" would be a great weekend festival!
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:30 Very envious! I didn't cotton on until they got wider distribution on RCA Novus.
	8:32pm bigplanetnoise: DJ P - that’s my kinda weekend!
	8:33pm Listener Gregory: Discogs says Haden and Blackwell with Ornette. What do you think, Peter?
	8:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:33 That's what I hear... clearly Haden's solo style, sounds like Blackwell too.
	8:34pm Little Danny: Diggin this, hi Peter!
	8:35pm DJ Peter: Hey Danny!
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: I think Threadgill is the most reliable composer and bandleader of his time. The quality of his work is almost always extremely high, to this day. That is my opinion.
	8:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:36 No arguments, but the Sextet albums are brilliant, imo
	8:41pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ Song: "Dreams (Alternate Take)" by "Susie Ibarra Trio" that got me pumped for your bed music show! such a good idea. carp. carp. ;)
	8:42pm doctorjazz: I have 4 Threadgill Sextet albums-Subject to Change, You Know the Number, Rag Bush and All, and When Was That (which was my favorite, if I remember correctly).
	8:42pm Listener Gregory: I have a Patrick Williams album from my time in California (long ago) that is a long orchestral jazz suite that wasn’t bad. I must have heard it on KJAZ.
	8:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 (I thought you said there were 3, but maybe I misheard)
	8:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:43 3 on "About Time," 3 more on "RCA Novus"
	8:45pm Dallas Fair Fox: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 Don't be coy Doc J...you know you have them ranked in a spreadsheet!
	8:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:44 Ahhh, the RCA/Novus are all on the Mosaic Threadgill box!
	8:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:45 Boy, would THAT be nice!!! (and not me, unfortunately).
	8:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cottontail" by "Jimmy Rowles" 👍👍👍
	8:48pm Listener Gregory: I find I own Subject to Change, and have retrieved it from the dungeon for active consideration. Thanks for reminding me of it.
	8:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:48 There are two questionable vocal tracks, but I'm sure you'll dig the rest
	8:50pm doctorjazz: I don't have the patience (or the back) for crate digging these days (not much since the pandemic). Discogs, Bandcamp, and Reissues keep me occupied.
	8:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @8:45 I actually did have a database of my LP's and CD's in the 90s (too much time to kill), but it's long gone, and quite out of date if I did dig it up.
	8:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Peacocks" by "Jimmy Rowles" Like the cover!
	8:53pm Listener Gregory: Bill Evans did this song beautifully a number of times (Peacocks).
	8:54pm doctorjazz: The biggest pain is wearing a mask AT HOME around my family (not sure it'll help, I had mild symptoms a day or so before I tested...)
	8:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Peacocks" by "Jimmy Rowles" Heavy on the pedal, seems. Nice tracks!
	8:55pm Dean: I've always wondered whether Rowles wrote this after Wallace Stevens' "Domination in Black." Anybody?
	8:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:55 no idea!
	8:56pm doctorjazz: Great Crate Digging, DJ Peter (hope your back and knees have recovered). Fun show, thanks!
	8:57pm Dallas Fair Fox: Yep, thx Peter another good one. Well buddies... this is when my gtdr coach turns back into a pumpkin. Enjoyed spending another Sunday with most of you...
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:51 i have a notebook of my physical media, in alphabetical order and specifying the format(s). then i have a notebook of my cassette tapes, which are stored numerically; so each numbered entree is cross-referenced with the alphabetical notebook. then i have another notebook listing them by "genre" or "style" -which i never finished. but many things never got logged in, for various reasons.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: I thought The Peacocks refers to their (annoying) call, which is heard in the song.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter!
	9:00pm Dallas Fair Fox: OK, now you have actually killed me. Garfield. LOL. Rip me.
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter
	9:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dallas Fair Fox @9:00 I try to kill you at least once per show. Not all the way kill you of course.
	9:01pm Hill Country Fox: The Lazarus effect!!!!!
	5:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:23 Looking at the LP now: "drones and clones" refers to the compositional structure of this movement. D'oh! I shoulda caught on to that!
	5:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:52 Rowles own drawing!
	🕰 6:43pm Jeff Golick: Great show; just catching up to it. New to me Cecil and Ornette two highlights, plus Rowles' own Peacocks. Thanks, DJ Peter!
