WFMU: Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from April 5, 2015

Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from April 5, 2015

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Nov 22nd, 9pm - Midnight: Lavender Flu (More info...)

April 5, 2015: From Male Gaze to Art Blakey without missing a beat...

Listener comments!
	6:08am Nate K: Mornin' gang.
	6:09am Sem Chumbo: Got my asbestos onesie on, Nate. Spark it up!
	6:12am fred: Good morning Nate and Sem
	6:19am Sem Chumbo: Salut, fred.
	6:53am mauri: Hey Nate,Sem and Fred. Burning enough to say the spring started.
	7:02am Sem Chumbo: Hey, mauri. Do the Finns tan?
	7:05am mauri: tan? whats that?
	7:06am Sem Chumbo: Heh.
	7:07am Nate K: Hi Mauri, thanks for checking in.
	7:10am mauri: I dont tan much and I got bad rash from sun for maybe 4 summers. Some ppl in lapland have darker skin.
	7:13am Sem Chumbo: The Inuit here, who live well north of 60, also have darker skin. Maybe adaptation because of less protection from UV there? Don't know, just guessing.
	7:15am mauri: I find it attractive.
	7:19am BEAVO: Bliss reminded me of Grand Funk
	7:23am fred: @Sem: I tend to chuckle at mentions of "darker" skin. The roseish hue we call white was originally prevalent in a tiny part of the world, so I think it makes sense to view that as an adaptation to something, though I don't know what. Crappy weather?
	7:27am BEAVO: The intro to that Ike Turner tune is the same as the intro to Sho nuff 'n yes I do by Capt. Beefheart from Safe as Milk
	7:29am Sem Chumbo: @fred: yes, I am genotype-centric, and your point is well taken. If we did, as all evidence shows, come out of Africa then what you say is most logical. And fascinating.
	7:36am Nate K: @Beavo GFRR works too.
	7:41am fred: I'm generally genotype-confused, so don't read too much into it: I only see some Japanese people as having white skin, most Europeans look pink to me. But that might be a SubGenius influence
	7:43am Sem Chumbo: Easter notwithstanding, I thought this was a religion-free program:-D
	7:43am fred: As for the logical/fascinating combo, I was indeed nicknamed Spock in high school (I also can raise one eyebrow, but not the other)
	7:44am Sem Chumbo: @fred. Likewise;-)
	7:47am Mark: How do you program a robot to be funky?
	7:48am Sem Chumbo: @Mark: with James Brown engrams.
	7:49am fred: @Mark: there's probably research on that out there. A coworker is trying to get a grant to build a rapping robot, so a funky one must be in the works
	7:54am fred: @Sem: Do you read PhD comics? I thought you might like the latest one: phdcomics.com...
	8:01am Mark: Yeah this guy knew a couple things about drumming I guess.
	8:02am Sem Chumbo: @fred. I had not until this moment. HA! And I have now added the RSS feed. My thanks!
	8:06am fred: @Sem: I think of it as the Dilbert of academia
	8:09am Sem Chumbo: I think Dilbert explains corporate think in Everyman's language. The creator is some kind of savant.
	8:10am Nate K: I strongly recommend the Professor Brothers en.wikipedia.org...
	8:10am Nate K: I'll post a link to fliff night later. Good stuff as far as "academic humor" goes.
	8:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dilbert is the truth. Hullo NateK & other Combusticators.
	8:20am fred: I work in an academic place (as a technician) and used to work in the corporate world. I sometimes feel PhD was in my office just like Dilbert used to be. Thanks Nate, I'll check Professor Brothers later
	8:22am Sean B.: @NateK I always felt "Midnight Lamp" was a god awful recording of a beautiful song; But as I listen more closely it had to be recorded that way intentionally;Jimi's point only comes across stronger because of such.
	8:23am Polyus: Heck yeah Coloured Balls. I said HECK!
	8:26am Nate K: @Sean B, interesting take. Jimi has to do what Jimi has to do.
	8:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I believe 'Midnight Lamp' had been around before other 'Electric Ladyland' sessions - & those sessions were all over the place I think I heard Eddie Kramer say - in different formats from maybe 4-track to 16...Frustration w/ final Mastering of carefully fussed-over tracks was par for the course then...
	8:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...fuddy old Engineers compressing everything flat & the like...
	8:30am fred: @RRN63: How do you feel about remastered editions? Sometimes the original tracks are there but the creator isn't anymore
	8:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - as w/ Jimi ; I'd trust Eddie Kramer pretty well. - case by case basis I'd say...take 'Raw Power' or 'Pet Sounds' - or the Beatles for that matter; every version has its' own qualities...
	8:34am Sean B.: "Midnight Lamp" IS my favorite song so congrats for playing it. It is a simply stunning musical achievement
	8:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I figure the goal is make it sound like I'm in the Studio itself listening to thee Master - w/ no other Medium inbetween. Another factor is the Artist's stated or known intent (he always wanted more Bass, what have you) - & yet another is the Historical Cultural context: it was a mistake, &/or the Medium was limited (1960s things mixed for transistor radio, maybe) - but it's what everyone grew up on for 50 years...Indeed: which is the 'real' version...blahblahblah...
	8:51am Sean B.: Well it sounds like your in this shallow & void plastic tunnel; Which sums up the theme of the song really well. That's all i know.....
	8:51am Sem Chumbo: Always insightful, RevRab. Really like your take on all things musical. @Nate: been cooking up dinner for 15 today, much appreciated the soundtrack. Keep it burnin' hot. See ya next time.
	8:52am fred: Nate, thanks for another great show. It covered some ground -- Male Gaze and Art Blakey in the same set -- while making it all belong together. That's exactly why a DJ deserves the uppercase treatment.
	8:58am Sem Chumbo: Warren had it right.
	8:58am Nate K: Thanks, @Fred I really appreciate that; that's what I try to do!

Fri. Nov 22nd, 9pm - Midnight: Lavender Flu (More info...)
Nate K. is proud to welcome long-running Portland, Oregon, outfit Lavender Flu to the show. Playing a hazy, mesmerizing mix of lo-fi psychedelia and burnt-out rock 'n' roll, Lavender Flu have quietly built a reputation as one of the most fascinating and unpredictable bands in the contemporary underground. With a new album, Tracing the Sand by the Pool, out November 15, the band are hitting the road for a series of rare east coast performances and are dropping by WFMU along the way.
