Mick9,

Good stuff is still out there, it's just a little more buried under the Wham records, and the Helen Reddy that's all. It can be a slog for sure, but fortuantely there's still some gold out there.

I'm going later today to a Goodwill outlet I haven't been to. I guess the deal is there's a long line of LPs for 25 cents each. You start on one end, and on the other end a guy is throwing them into a dumpster! No joke, that's what I've heard. Talk about having to move fast! I guess its the last stop before the incinerator.

Take care,

"In other words, I dig music made by multiple-Mitt-Romneys and multiple-Michele-Bachmanns! Arghhhhh!!!!" ~Jet Set Planet listener

HIGHLIGHTS from the May 18th show.

*Ray Conniff's version of "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" BY REQUEST!?! Are you kidding me?

*Q (aka Quincy Jones) with a double blast of hipness: "I Can't Get no Satisfaction" and "Rack 'em Up."

*Hot stiff-ettes, The Golddiggers, try to get it up for drunk and droopy Deano. They're Feelin' Groovy, but I think they're just being polite not to hurt Deano's masculine pride.

*Country-politan Floyd Cramer bangs out "The Virginian" on the piano from a 70s release "Best of the West."

*The Atomic Martinis (from Chicago) beg you to call them. Check 'em out at http://www.myspace.com/theatomicmartinis

*Hello – We’re the Axidentals – a vocal group that ends every tune with the audio equivalent of a card table being flattened by a berserk maniac!

*Also, we learn exactly how the KGB, Interpol and the CIA send all those TOP secret messages around the world.

*Havana, 3AM: Perez Prado plays and your booze addled mind of yours is having pretty good luck convincing itself that you can fly.

*A Brazilian set led by the Sunny, Refreshing Voice of Wanda deSah.

*Lots of no-name artists on no-name record labels: No you don’t have an itchy, dandruff problem – that head scratching happens cuz you’re listening to Jet Set Planet.

Hi everyone,

Check out this week's show at http://www.kfai.org/node/22087
Just press the LISTEN NOW button.

Did I mention that it's NUTS?

I went to a rustic (read: low budget) camp in Wisconsin for the weekend. And for the trip, I brought a portable turntable (that comes inside an old-fashioned overnight suitcase). And the records we played? From the local thrift stores near the camp.

Hear highlights from THE CAMP.

*Los Norte's Americanos play Nashville - Tijuana style

*The Love Goddesses let Percy Faith in on some Cheesecake

*The Brazen Brass bust up the hootenanny with Horn Blasts!

*and, oh yeah, I'm a sucker for those gimmicky Bach LPs, like "Electric Jazz Guitar Bach" on Nonesuch Records.

Plus new tunes from Tikiyaki Orchestra (see shameless plug below); music from the film Danger: Diabolik;
and the weirdest version of a Supremes hit you'll ever hear. Guaranteed.
