As much as I find Thayrone (the host) annoying I do have to give him credit
for playing good music on his show..
My favorite local music program, though, is Friday night's "All Star
Rhythm Revue", also on WEMU. They manage to produce some fine programming,
don't they?

(Really? My dad and I both find a good portion of Thayrone's music annoying,
but we listen to the show to hear him blither.)

RE #200 WEMU cancelled the "All Star Rhythm Revue" about a year and a half
ago.

re #201: heh.. some of his music is beyond annoying, but some of what
he plays is excellent stuff that you're never gonna hear on
commercial radio..
re #202: did they really? shoot! i hadn't tuned in in a while because
I haven't been driving to the west side of the state on Friday
nights much lately, which is when I used to listen to it.
what a bummer -- I was looking forward to their annual Halloween
show and planned to tape the excellently cheesey "the Mummy",
a theoretically comic number they played most years..

(it can't have been as long as a year and a half ago, could it?
I could've sworn I'd heard the "All-Star Rhythm Revue" more recently
than that..)

Oh, every time I listen to Thayrone I hear one or two good songs (especially
if you consider "Johnny, are you queer?" and "Sell the Bitch's Car" to be good
songs). It's just that that's not why I listen.

I miss the "All Star Rhythm Revue" as well, and much like Mike I find
Thayrone's schtick to wear thin but the music is usually excellent, and he
really knows a lot about what he's playing.
OAURN: My wife used to work with "Thayrone", he's thankfully nothing like
his radio persona in person.

"Quartet Romantic" by Henry Cowell, borrowed from the library. Yeegs,
this is the most painful listening experience I've ever had. It's not
that the music is so dissonant, it's that all four musicians are playing
in complete rhythmic independence of one another. (They had to record
it with headphones and click tracks.) There's no way to describe how
disconcerting this is.
Followed by "The Abongo" by John J. Becker, on the same CD. Percussion
music. All rhythm, nothing else. Neat. (But the masterpiece of the
genre remains Varese's "Ionisation".)

Right now I'm listening to Les Miz....It started to run through my head last
night...from "Red & Black" to the bitter end. I sang *ALL* of it. From
Memory. I decided that it was probably time to listen to the cd again. So
I am. :)

(katie back in resp:191 :: I don't know the name of the WDET evening
jazz DJ.)
np: Fernhill, LLANTAI. Welsh acoustic folk band, so far I like this
second album better than their debut.
Twila will like it, most likely, and David Bratman might be interested.
Julie Matthews, who has done some stuff with hurdy-gurdy player
Nigel Eaton, is the singer.

RE #211 I believe that the evening jazz DJ (7-10 pm) on WDET (101.9 FM
Detroit) is Ed Love.

Tom Waits, "Rain Dogs". I'd sort of forgotten this one, but I've been
listening to it again lately and enjoying it a lot.

Definitely a good album, but one I can't seem to keep in my collection.
Over the years I've owned three different copies. One was definitely
stolen, the other two have met unknown fates, but whatever happened to
them they're not around for me to listen to..
Now playing: Mojave 3 -- "Out of Tune"
Very disappointing follow-up to "Ask Me Tomorrow".. Kind of a bummer..

King Crimson, "Discipline". One of my big favorites. I put it on to get a
quote correct, then left it playing.

Soundtrack from "Vision of Escaflowne" anime. This is the third anime
soundtrack I've had on today, after a prolonged neglect.

Andre' Marchand, Lisa Ornstein, Normand Miron: "Le Bruit Court Dans La
Ville." Quebecois traditional. Andre' Marchand is the former leader
of the best known Quebecois band, La Bottine Souriante, and this new
albums sounds a bit like the old LBS stuff.

Spiritualized -- "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space"
I just love this album.. moody, multi-layered, full of emotionally
powerful songs.. Spiritualized are one of my favorite bands now going.
I hope I get a chance to see them before they overdose.. :-(

Patti Loveless, "Classics" Normally, I don;t listen to Country music, but for
some reason, I was drwan to this CD. She has a beautiful voice.

gnat 208: The CD was just called "Quartet Romantic" (New Worlds 80285-2)
and also had other chamber works by Riegger, Crawford, and Harrison.

the Stone Roses -- eponymous
destined to be remembered (by me, at least) as one of the defining albums
of the early 90s (the *very* early 90s, I guess.. 1989 technically, but I
refuse to acknowledge that this album is already 10 years old..)
I'm very much looking forward to 2010, when we *might* get to find out
whether the band ever comes out of its sophomore slump.. ;-)
