İyi akşamlar!

iyi akşamlar rob!!!

Hey! I heard there was Anatolian rock in here, I'm all in.

tandy :) welcome in, we have cem karaca's and mogollar all lined up for ya

We learned about Erkin Koray from the CapDoc Ahab! Good stuff!

Big love to the CapDoc

erkin koray is amazing, his mesafeler album was very shifting for me

Always enjoy some good anatolian psychedelia

ayyy capdoc

Shifting. Good description. A good piece o' music will definitely shift ya.

very true, one of those albums you come back to every once in a while and find a different 'you' in

Edip! When I dip you dip Edip

edip with a very dip baseline

there's this documentary from 2000s I don't know if any of you saw it but it goes through all different stages of growing Turkish music from rock to underground rap, also featuring Erkin Koray

that sounds dope!

hah yes it's called Crossing the Bridge The Sound of Istanbul

yesss matt, I would recommend

We've enjoyed the show so far, but sadly, we must leave for a Zoom call with a group of friends. I may bow out of that early to come back to WPRB

take care Rob

bring our WPRB greetings to the friends hehe, see ya rob

I have been clicked in all day. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you are having a great show

TURSHUUUU!

hey Richard! happy to see ya!!

MIKEEEEE

what upp

Fikret is a cool name

yea, I had never thought about really but it literally means 'thought'

that's awesome

great spelling of Demokrasi !

haha yeah

acil demokrasi: demokrasi... immediately needed...

@ turshu (host) Certainly enjoying tonight's show, as always!

the mighty Mogollar!

love how Turkish musicians embraced the fearsome Farfisa organ

Yes! YES!! When I heard the opening of Ayten Alpman's "Ve Tanrı Aşkı Yarattı" I totally thought it was a Turkish language cover of Peggy Lee's 1958 pop hit "Fever"!

I wanna play so much more mogollar around here, hehe the farfisa and baglama are trademarks

sounds like we need a mashup of the two songs

I know Richard!! they are very similar but also have their unique vibes

I like that idea Matt

DJ Turshu if you wanna get really nutty, High On Fire has a straight up Turkish song https://highonfire.bandcamp.com/track/karanl-k-yol-instrumental ...which is cool for a CA stoner metal band

oh i know that sample from something

on the Rana Alagoz cover it looks like the dude is a little puppet LOL

wait matt this is awesome I don't know how they thought about combining doom metal with dance-y Turkish folk like that, like who inspired that...

DJ, the HOF bassist is very into Turkish music and I believe he sells baglamas in the off-time

puhashhashdsah yes, they used to make strange choices for cover art in the 70s...

action bronson samples it on his first real album drop i think that chorus like flute or /we

off mr. wonderful ill have to look into it more thats just off top

hehehee matt I'll be keeping up with hof from now on

whaaat, wait mike which song

DJ, that reminds me, High On Fire also pull the Turkish move on the album's opening song, Lambsbread, it's pretty smooth too https://highonfire.bandcamp.com/track/lambsbread

and now for some suicidal depressive black metal from DJ Jagannath! JK! DJ Jagannath rules

I am so intrigued by this band

oooo I like that spelling of Orijinal from Ayla D. The one-man band Muslimgauze did a lot of wordplay with his song titles along these lines

ahhasdh sending our love to dj Jagannath & his love for John zorn

haaaaaaaaa!! good ol' John Zorn & good ol' DJ Jagannath

hehehee exactly

Ossi Muzik! We have to summon wprb's resident poet, Ossy

I'm back, I left the Zoom call a little early. Now for more Anatolian rock

ossy hasn't been caught often in the Uncountable Measures chat... which is sad... or does that say we are not poetic enough maybe

rob!! welcome backkk

Ossy is an unpredictable one, ya never know when the poetry will flow

they are an artist

This Nilüfer is reminding me of the 1973/74 song by Anne Marie David "Wonderful Dream". I could easily be wrong as I haven't heard the latter in decades

I just listened to both on YouTube, I think the tune/melody is the same

Rob you just opened a door that won't ever close, wow they are exactly the same

They are. I think the English version's words and certainly title are different from the original French version's title

not unexpected tho... many Turkish hits of the era had their melodies borrowed from western artists and I just pretend that they are different for my mind's sanity

"Tu te reconnaîtras" is the French version ("You'll recognize yourself")

ah so the original is French

The French original was the Eurovision winner in 1973, for Luxembourg

I see I see

I've noticed a few English-language songs had their melodies incorporated/appropriated into Spanish-language songs, but the lyrics/subject matters are sometimes rather different

ah wait I think the lyrics are kind of a translation too Goreceksin Kendini means "You'll recognize yourself"

I hope my talking about the Nilüfer song didn't bring you down

Ah Rob nooo ofc not :)

It is such a strange feeling each time to see that the songs I've only listened to Turkish renditions of exist outside of that sphere hehe

I can see that it would be a strange feeling

hehehe yep :)

It looks like the English-language version (Wonderful Dream), which Anne Marie David recorded, and was a hit in Britain, has very different lyrics from the French-language song that won the 1973 Eurovision contest

Re: "Gel Desen Gelemem Ki (Sensiz Saadet Neymiş)" by Yaşar Güvenir ... I understand nary a word of Turkish, but I know that great sad love songs are the same the world over and speak their own readily comprehended language ...

hah! maybe Nilufer saw the British hit and took a look at the original for the lyrics, her version came out in 74 - a fast rendition

Richard, very very true - you really don't have to know Turkish to understand

@turshu, she probably did. I think that is kind of common, or was in the 70s

absolutely absolutely, even more contemporary stuff like the Turkish rock band Duman takes melodies from those years - I tend to forget they are not originals because of how famous the people sampling it are

Kinda out aimlessly driving now, coffee now in hand. Thanks for the show in advance, in case I'm not able to say so in 20 minutes!

It's been a lovely show, oddly felt like I'm at grandma's house even though I have no blood or cultural relations with Turkey.

me and TAndy hittin' Grandma's hookah

LOL we got into her cobweb hash stash

punk band name: Grandma's Hookah

cobweb hash stash!!

tandy you bring joy to every show

puhasdhahsd I support Grandma's Hookah

Grandma's Hookah went OFF! at John & Peter's the other night LOL

Great show, turshu, I'm sad that I couldn't catch all of it. Good night to everyone

Rob see you!! thanks for tuning in also after the zoom call hehe

indeed a really cool show, thank you for the curation and deep dives, DJ

thanks matt for allll the contribution, always a vibe chatting with ya

also we keep grandma's hookah alive

Thank you turshu for the Beautiful music. Your show is one of the reasons I listen to WPRB. Have a nice night!

Alan ah that makes me so so happy :) thanks for listening and good good night!

MISTER WOODS

Looks like I got home in time for one more goodbye!

@ turshu (host) You may have said this and I missed it, but ... "Üzüntüyü Bırak Yaşamaya Bak" ("Live Your Life, Don't Be Sad") was a big English language hit in 1968 recorded by Mary Hopkin (producer, Paul McCartney) under the title "Those Were the Days"; written by American songwriter Gene Raskin and based on a Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" (The Long Road) by Boris Fomin. The English language version was about not-quite-lost youthful idealism.

ayy tandy you did :) thanks for tuning in good night!!

Speaking of youthful idealism ... why can't WPRB run the world? Internationalism and peace ...

Richard yes! so true forgot to mention that yes!

why can't WPRB run the world.... wprb commune?
