The latest show is exceptional! (is it #5 already?) My favorite highlights: the crazy 60's cover set with Stu Phillips' "Tired of Waiting" and Zacharias' "Respect;" the Stereo Dynamica set with Terry Snyder's "Guys and Dolls," the Johnny Keating song, and Hugo Montenegro's "Limehouse Blues; and of course the set of songs about the moon! A tour de force!

Cool! Is there a playlist for the show?

Never mind! I did not dig deep enough into kfai.org before I posted my question.

I enjoy listening to JetSet Planet while working. Great tunes without the vocals being too intrusive.

My only complaint is the stream format, that is, RealAudio. If it were mp3, I could pipe this through iTunes and then to my stereo system.

ScottMcGerik,

Thanks for listening. Glad you're liking the show! I'll pass on your comments to the KFAI web people. Don't know if anything can be done, but it can't hurt.

Mahalo

Excellent show. Really like the stories on the thrift shop finds. I agree with ScottMcGerik on the real vs mp3's, it would make it much easier on us archivists but hey I'm not complaining...

IZ -

I was amazed at that wonderful rendition of "Quiet Village" by George Wright at the organ you played 2 weeks ago. I'll have to take a closer look at those George Wright lps I've been passing up at garage sales all these years. I need to find myself a copy.

Sabu

Sabu,

Yeah, those George Wright LPs are sometimes spectacular. Not all of them, that's for sure, but sometimes he hits paydirt, especially when he's doing more exotic stuff, like the record Quiet Village comes off of ("Encores").

I definitely recommend picking him up, especially for a buck at a thrift store or rummage, but I don't know if I'd go much beyond that. I think he falls into that category of garage sale LP that is worth picking up if the songs on the record are ones you like. (Unlike some artists who you just grab and will pay top dollar regardless of what songs they're playing because you just know something will be interesting on the record.)

In the coming weeks, I'll see if I can squeeze something else off that record or one of the other George Wright records I have, and play it on the show.

Stay Tuned and Happy garage sale hunting!

I, Zombie

Amazing Program as usual!!! Really amazing stuff!

Had to listen at home this week 'cause other folks at work decided it was time, already, to start listening to Christmas Music. I, of course, think that any listening to music such as that is "Pushing the Season" a bit if done before Thanksgiving but it appears that most of America cares for Thanksgiving only as a chance to eat a lot.

O.K. I must be a little stupid. When I download it it is a .ram file. (I'm on a mac.) itunes opens, but nothing happens. I drag it to the itunes window and nothing happens. Do I need to download a different player to get it to work? Whassup?

Spy-tiki,

Funny you asked this. Just today, I wrote to the tech people at KFAI asking if we had other streams available. Unfortunately, right now we're using real audio. I know, Iknow...

In any case, I'm not a complete whiz on this myself, but I have a mac at home and what I did was download real audio for Mac, and put the real audio icon in the dock. Then when the ram file pops up, I drag it onto the real audio icon and it launches real audio and plays. Unfortunately not the smoothest solution, but it works for me.

Perhaps others with Macs can chime in here.

Someday, if the corporate misers allow, we'll be able to podcast the shows. Until then, streaming is the only way.

I hope you can get it playing.... I, Zombie

Glad your digging the show! Thanks for listening.
I took a trip into the Great White North (aka Canada) about 10 days ago, and thrifted along the way. Picked up a pile of LPs that will make there way onto the show in the coming weeks. Including Jack Costanzo's "Bongo Fever," Dick Hyman's "Electrodynamics," and a Bob Crewe Orchestra doing hits of the Four Seasons. Plus plenty more. Stay tuned!

Glen,

Found some Spy-lps on the Usenet this week. Since they are vinyl-rips, they should be fairly copyright-safe to play.
