Hi Commie! Hi Chris! Hi Richard! These songs are more body-specific than the song that occurred to me: 'Damaged Goods' by Gang of 4...

Any requests for The Pogues, Body Of An American ?

Hi Teresa! Hello to all!
Teresa Peacock
8:50:50 PM
And and @Commie -- Kudos for finding an 'Emptiness Is Form' song and a 'Form Is Emptiness' song and playing the one after the other -- Pure GENIUS! <3 Hey Scooter!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:52:09 PM
lol i mixed up damaged goods and natural's not in it
Commie Francis (1) (host)

Chris Mohr
8:52:54 PM
Do you have access to the Gang of Four WPRB station ID? I think it had Hugo
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:53:04 PM
no!!
Chris Mohr
8:53:13 PM
(Also, yes, this works!)
Chris Mohr
8:54:05 PM
The ID was from 1981 or 1982, or thereabouts
Teresa Peacock
8:54:56 PM
Until just this evening, I always thought the lyric was 'I can't work/I can't have tea' (instead of 'I can't work/I can't achieve'). The actual lyric makes more sense
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:55:12 PM
haha
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:55:32 PM
i always thought the lyrics to suburban home by the descendents were "i want a big loan"
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:55:50 PM
turns out it's "i wanna be a clone". i like mine better
Andrew Gruen
8:56:36 PM
wait...it's not 'I can't have tea'???
Commie Francis (1) (host)
8:56:57 PM
he CAN have tea actually!
Andrew Gruen
8:58:08 PM
phew! lucky jon!
Teresa Peacock
8:58:45 PM
But your lyric makes more sense in that case. Often you DO need a big loan to own a suburban home! @Andrew -- Right?! If he can't ... well, you know... at least he can still have tea!

I almost requested the Animals' rendition of the traditional gospel song "Bury My Body".
Teresa Peacock
9:10:14 PM
Somehow I missed the fact that The Jihad/Jihad Productions song was also entitled 'Form Is Emptiness'. Now I'm just that much more bowled-over impressed!

get him a body bag - one of Johnny's friends from 1984 Karate Kid, mocking Daniel in his match against Johnny LOL
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:24:36 PM
on discogs this record says the genre is "p funk"
jimbooooo
9:27:13 PM
Sweat Band...best name ever 💦
Marcus Haupt
9:29:15 PM
Hey Commie. This is Bootsy Collins playing and arranging so it's P-Funk (Parliament-Funkadelic style)
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:30:38 PM
oh i know, it's also maceo parker etc! just funny to me that it's listed as a genre
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:31:17 PM
it's basically bootsy's rubber band
Marcus Haupt
9:31:37 PM
P-Funk has been a genre in Black music since the 70's
Teresa Peacock
9:32:10 PM
@jimbooooo -- Agreed! I've got to remember Sweat Band so I can share it with my college roomie Jill on Friday (who has dubbed that day 'Funk Friday' and shares funk tracks on her FB page to issue in the weekend). It seems humorously dismissive for Discogs to label the genre 'p funk' though. Sweat Band shall not be so easily dismissed! Hmph!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:33:03 PM
are there any other bands who have their own genre? well consortium of related bands i guess. like are there p-funk bands that don't have any p-funk people in them>
Marcus Haupt
9:38:43 PM
Tu-Tone created their own genre. Big Star should have, maybe did, but it only emerged 10 years later
Jon Solomon
9:42:55 PM
Great question! What about all those Minneapolis Sound bands from the Purple Snow comp that were in the extended Prince orbit?
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:43:26 PM
of course there's d-beat as well
Marcus Haupt
9:43:32 PM
Wu-Tang Clan are their own genre and a collective.
Chris Mohr
9:43:43 PM
I was thinking of Prince, too
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:43:51 PM
tu-tone is a. good example. i dpn't know if there is music considered tu-tone that isn't on the label
Jon Solomon
9:44:36 PM
Sorry I missed some Aurora Paralysis.
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:44:42 PM
that is interesting, i mean these are for sure fully distinct sounds, i just didn't ever think of them as genres.
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:44:48 PM

I think that might be a different band with the same name?
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:46:30 PM
i don't think so!
Jon Solomon
9:46:38 PM
The one you played was from early 1990s Richmond. I saw them there!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:46:48 PM
unless the eggs split was mixed in with the wrong band
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:47:42 PM
on discogs
Jon Solomon
9:48:50 PM
Huh. I'll investigate properly later. I'm chaperoning the director of the Night of 1000 Kates livestream presently!
Commie Francis (1) (host)
9:49:05 PM
ooh i hope it's going well!
Jon Solomon
9:49:58 PM
It is a lot of fun. We're in a separate studio away from the performance space however.
Jon Solomon
9:50:18 PM
Some sort of video with "sexy frogs" is playing as I type...
Teresa Peacock
9:53:52 PM
'I recognize your smell from a previous life' is an amazingly great lyric! @Jon -- Hello! If you see Ms. Factorial this evening, please tell her hello from me! (-:
