Playlist for
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
July 25, 2008
Hosted by Greg Lyon on FRIDAYS at 2-4 pm
on WPVM Asheville (103.5 FM and www.wpvm.org)
– How did Peter Frampton get away with what has to be the most ridiculous album title ever? "I’m In You"?????????? Incredibly weak song, too. We were going to play it straight, but I couldn’t do it, so we did our best Mystery Science Theater 3000 imitation and gave commentary. Check out that outfit–and the chest hair. 1977 was weird. Just think about crap coming out and shooting up the charts at the same time that the Sex Pistols were ushering in a new universe. Thank you, Johnny Rotten.
– Had a nice drug commentary set with Sonny Bono’s "Pammie’s on a Bummer," which Shaina knows all the lyrics to from her childhood (her dad had the record). Bill Cosby’s "Dope Pusher Song" is a fun and funky scare-tactic song. Holy Modal Rounders sang the "Cocaine Blues"; WPVM just got an incredible shipment of new CDs from the rejuvenated ESP-Disk, including two Holy Modal Rounders reissues and a slew of great jazz (Milford Graves, Giuseppi Logan, and Don Cherry). For more of this stuff, you should listen to Tenor to Tabla, Wednesday nights on WPVM from 8-11 pm, hosted by Jonathan. It’s dope.
– I played two of the three releases on the newly created Assophon Records out of Seattle: an imaginary soundtrack by Factums and a great skronky jazz set by the Spider Trio. You’ll hear the third disc, by The Sea Donkeys, in an upcoming show, I promise, as it may be the best of the three. Great new label!
