wow ! many, many thanks to you guys for filling us in on what we missed … 2 hours of talk + music w/j — i wish i could have heard it too … but for sure my husband would have thought i was crazy as well
partly b/c the show was on from 3-5am over here, partly b/c he knows how i need my sleep (beauty + otherwise) :aliensmile: + partly b/c our computer is in our bedroom … so it would have involved waking him up too … so i really, really hope someone did record this somehow … anyone ? hey annastefka, i know what you mean about the 24-hour clock … that took a little getting used to for me when i 1st came over here
… but if it makes you feel any better, even some british people have problems w/it too 
oh annastefka, i forgot to add that until recently i was a (specialist) marine travel agent … which means that i booked flights, hotels etc for ship’s crew (from the captains themselves, right down to the cooks + even the hairdressers + medical staff etc on shipping vessels + cruise ships) + so i had to learn the 24 hour clock for that :aliensmile:
what was the answer to this ?
Quote:They had a phone-in competition to ask which Sonic Youth record J appeared on, and had his picture on the cover. The presenter asked J if he knew, and he said he didn’t but looked forward to finding out the answer.+ also, what was the deal w/this ?
Quote:Ahhhaaa, Meagre, is an alternative spelling of the word Meager, which was J’s only complaint at the end of his stint as he referenced his material.most importantly … i guess no one recorded this, huh ?
Ciccone Youth was the answer to the first question! I thought a sort of trick question and the whole deal with Meagre is that I had never seen that word, I was thumping my head trying to think. I just came to the conclusion that the word was a miss-spelling of meager, only to find out it is an alternitive spelling or British Spelling or the word. I had never come across that spelling of meager. I have been reading lately about homebirths in the UK and I am coming across many terms that I don’t know. Oh, and I have to add so J’s only complaint at the end of the show is that he wished he had brought more music with him.
A guy rang in who seemed pretty knowledgeable, and they had a bit of a discussion about SY stuff that was mostly over my head. He made a stab at the Ciccone Youth album, which J said was close enough. I now find that J did play on track 10 "Two Cool Rock Chicks Listen To Neu", which helps me understand part of the chat.
After about 80 minutes J said he was running out of songs to play and invited people to bring some stuff along for him. I don’t know if this ever happened. Towards the end, the co-host asked J what he would have done differently if he was doing it again, and he said he would have brought along more material.
It intrigues me to think that J must carry a heap of (often pretty obscure) music around with him on tour, as I’m sure he wasn’t using the station library.
I have been in touch with the station to enquire if the show can be made available in any format, still waiting to hear.
Quote:He made a stab at the Ciccone Youth album, which J said was close enoughJ’s on "Goo" as well, he’s one of the guys saying "Hey Goo, what’s new" on the song "My Friend Goo", but I can’t remember seeing a picture of J on the cover of either GOO or the WHITEY ALBUM… he’s on "MR. MACHINERY OPERATOR", tho’, which he produced… I betcha’re all sooo happy I cleared that up
hope I didn’t bore y’all to death…Speaking of being "on" and "Radio Shows" and "Sonic Youth": At this very moment Sonic Youth are guesting as hosts/DJs on a RADIO EINS Radio show, that’s Berlin’s only halfway listenable-to station. Right now they’re playing something dfrom SONIC NURSE, before they had DNA and Cabaret Voltaire and some other stuff…

he brought some singles over w/him a few years back when he took over london’s xfm as well, but i think he flew over here directly from his home for that one-off show … but if you think about it, this time he must have travelled across the US from his home on the e.coast + all the way down the w.coast from seattle to san diego (on his recent tour w/the fog), then all over australia + finally up to akl before he played these 7"s … now that’s impressive :aliensmile:
that would be so great if the station did archive that show + there was some way for us j heads/freaks or whatever you want to call us to have a listen … please keep us posted either way
