sorry for the malware! sendspace kind of blows. it worked for other people i heard from... was the file that you ended up with a zip file called "WPIX"? Sendspace is weird -- it gives you a bunch of "Download" links, but the only one you want is the one that says: " Click here to start download from sendspace".

lol yes. glad you got it. everyone in the world should hear this. the live cale trax are amazing too -- i wonder if there's a whole recording of that show out there? it is funny that cale and reed were on apparently pretty good terms at this point. maybe if they're not working together they can tolerate each other.

the live Cale tracks are kind of what I expected Cale's solo work to consist of. before I heard Church of Anthrax and Paris 1919 anyway. just full of angry howling.

Everyone zinging Jimmy Carter in 1979 ;_;
Is there an open thread just for musician drop-ins to radio stations, taking calls & being kind of fun, pompy dickheads? <3 hearing these, especially the calls.

Feel like he's just doing what he usually did, where he isn't saying "I'm gay/queer" but rather "So I was at this gay club dancing with a bunch of hunky sweaty guys all around me all of us appreciating each other's bodies and ..."

On another note, his name is Lewis Alan Reed, right? Where did the Louis "Butch" Firbank stuff come from?
Also, burning up precious minutes listening to this when I could be watching Hulu Criterions.

Ronald Firbank is a cult figure gay writer from the early 20th century, I assume he's just doing a hip namecheck there

Thought "DIsco Mystic" was ridiculous when I first heard it, but it has grown on me over the decades. Also something amusing about the fact that it doesn't really have a disco beat or a disco bass or guitar- the only thing that makes it disco is the words "disco mystic" being repeated over and over again.

It's in very much in the vein of his live performances at the time, ummmmmm, untrammelled. Pretty sure Tyler has already provided the bootlegs to confirm it too!

OK, finally digging into Tyler's web page. There goes my day off. While probably have to subscribe to Hulu in the end to watch those Criterions. Anyway, slow Jam Fairport "Reno, Nevada" is awesome.

This guy says that the tapes went missing: http://www.smoe.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr?user=ivan%40stellysee.de&passw=&list=audities&extra=2007072/102%201&func=archive-get-part-clean
On Sunday nights Dan Neer and John Ogle hosted "Radio Radio," an incredibly fun three hours during which artists would stop by and guest DJ. One show I remember had guest jocks Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and Clem Burke being joined later in the program by David Johansen. Other guests were Ric Ocasek, Cindy Bullens, Rockpile, Squeeze, the Police, the Ramones, etc. On one show Genya Ravan mixed a track on the air.I wish I could track down some "Radio Radio" tapes. When management dropped the format they locked the DJ's out of the building. So Neer and Ogle were unable to retrieve any of the tapes.
