Going to play Mose on my show today. See my thread. LouieB

For a few weeks I played several PF Sloan, so maybe in a coming week..... Meanwhile tune in today November 22 at 12 Central for more musical comfort food and some strange stuff. More Gil Scott-Heron, Mavis Staples, Pentangle, Tom Waits, lots of Mose Allison and Sharon Stone, more Jennifer Warnes, Numero Eccentric Soul, Lennie Tristano and other crazy stuff. Always fun, I think. LouieB

So we have finally turned the entire federal government over to the religious right and the trickle down economics crew. I guess we will see what they do with this country. For better or worse the government changes slowly, so maybe not too much damage will be done in the next four years. Of course if you support this type of policy then I guess you just won Yatzee. Congrats. LouieB

Mose was a quirky talent to be sure. He had a great career though. I plan to play some of his songs next Tuesday. LouieB

Funny. I despise that era Moody Blues. They got played too much during my college years. LouieB

No tomorrow. Hey all tune me in for Cohen, Russell, songs about Satellites by Wilco, the Replacements and Lou Reed, Mike's requests, Cheryl's Going Home (two versions), Numero Soul, Gil Scott-Heron, and a bunch of comfort songs after a brutal election season. www.wnur.org or Tunein after noon on November 15 central time. Come on, it will be fun. LouieB

Yea this is sad. LouieB

Okay got all four for a special request set. Please tune in. LouieB

Really Sad on this one. Great artist. LouieB

Okay, early warning on tomorrow's Midday Mixtape Show. 12-2 PM central on www.wnur.org or Tunein. This will air live 11/8.

Political songs for election day from Bob Dylan, Captain Beefheart, and Blind Alfred Reed. Oh yea and the first version of Take Me Out to

Okay, make it four then. That Monkees song is just this side of terrible but everyone loves the Monkees. Look for these in a week. LouieB

Hey Mike, find one more obscure song and I'll make a set out of them. Not going to be this week, but next week. LouieB

The sooner the better i guess. LouieB

I played this on my show last week along with the Chicago poem. I plan to play a couple more this week. Really good project. LouieB

I'll see what I can do for next week. This week should be fun. LouieB

So I am back on tomorrow with a really really fun show and a guest. You know the drill 12-2 PM central although news is at noon. www.wnur.org or Tunein. So this week I am playing Jeff Tweedy singing a Carl Sandburg Chicago poem Theme in Yellow. But beyond that I am doing more of the Chicago Poem CD from David Nagler, not yet released Jon Langford, new Handsome Family, new Johnathan Richman, unreleased Tim Buckley, reissued Jim Dickirson, more Bleached and Beach Slang. Also a Halloween set including Arthur Brown, Captain Beefheart, David Thomas, and White Mystery. I have a guest, Lane

Which song was that? It is really hard to listen to the actual music when you are doing radio, I have to cue records, log them, think of things to say, and not panic when equipment doesn't work as planned. Just curious. Can look for the Mott Song sometime. This week is too full. LouieB

Are we at 10 more days until this shit is over? Oh yea, it's never really over anymore. LouieB

Very good album. Another triumph for Kelly Hogan. Oh yea everyone else does great too. LouieB

Seems like only yesterday. LouieB

I really liked your suggestion. Will play it again sometime and did give you a shout out. The news is a mixed blessing. I have no idea where they are from, but they always show up just a few minutes late, which is irritating. LouieB

Don't get me started on Pet Sounds, which is a good album by any measure, but not the overwhelming masterpiece it is always billed as. Having said that I own three copies. LouieB

I like the drama of voting on the actual Election Day. It seems so much more important. LouieB

Two more weeks....then get out and vote like your life depended on it. LouieB

Well tune in today. Chicken Shake is leading off the show. Will give you a shout out. For this ramshackle show today (just got back from a trip last night), I am throwing together some gospel, Flat Five, Sarah Vaughn, Blodwyn Pig, Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, Nick Lowe, Joe Strummer, Bruce, Ministry, Andrew Hill, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. It's going to be a big hot mess. . LouieB
