"Coriolan Overture, Op. 62" by Berlin Philharmonic & Herbert von Karajan. Radio Free Princeton Thu May 7 with MJ on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Morning!

Good morning, Rob!

Mornin

Sup, TAndy!

TAndy!

@MJ, is there any twee this morning? I.e. can I go for a walk?

Only a song or two... be free! be twee

Thanks for being so understanding, MJ

Of course. I try to be an ethical DJ whenever possible

You areee

I'm still here, I made the mistake on checking what birds have been sighted nearby this morning

Good morning, love their single title, “Silver Jews and Nico”. Something Camper Van Beethoven might come up with.

Shocking this is from ‘66, to me anyway.

Oops, my bad.

Morning, Dan! No, that's my bad – I was too slow to update the playlist

Red House Painters would absolutely be shocking for '66

Elgar, seemingly the one composer ELP never covered.

That too is shocking (given England)

Two years after this recording I attended CSO’s free memorial concert for Sir George, wonderful and well deserved of course.

That's such a treat – Sir George, Chicago legend.

Solti to Mahler seems Barenboim to Beethoven, Mozart. As far as legendary recordings.

That sounds right. His ability to draw out those intense, smooth, dramatic dynamic shifts that you'd need for the late Romantics...

Indeed! I was fortunate to have a Thurs. sub. ticket to witness both conducting.

Can’t top blues on vinyl, no way.

I can smell the jumbo wings, burnt ends BBQ at Cozy Corner, Memphis. Best in town.

Well… “Police and high sheriff” by Oliss Martin

I need to be playing and listening to SO much more blues

I hear ya, no pun…

I have photographed a mere fraction of all the ever-changing incredible painted murals, most with musical themes obviously, in Memphis. I’m due to return there.

Need to get down there soon, and Cozy Corner will be on the itinerary. Haven't been to Memphis since I was a boy

Also home of legendary photographer, musician William Eggleston. A real character, hero of mine.

He shot a Big Star LP cover. The red one.

Ooh yeah 🧨

yeahhhh 🔥 whats up jim

And Dan, thanks for sharing, I had NO idea that Eggleston (1) did the red Big Star cover and (2) is from Memphis. But it makes sense that his eye for the arrestingly desolate look of gas stations, drive throughs, foreclosed shops, etc. would've been formed in the South

As far as his music goes I really enjoy his sneaky good piano cover of Ol Man River

Yes, those grainy b&w home movies of him are amazing. On YouTube besides!

Musically, visually gifted, like Don von Vliet in a way.

Hey thanks for the show MJ! Loved the sprinkle of shoegaze at the very end :)

Of course, thanks for listening, TAndy! You know I gotta provide for the shoegazers

Have a wonderful day, folks
