Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for January 6, 2018

Baby, it's cold outside, and it's not that warm in the Doug Ashford Radio Room either, but we are here with warming entertainment (and, honestly, to get out of the house for while.) We begin with New Year's greetings, and acknowledge the cold with songs. We also remember the great Roswell Rudd, the most amiable of avant-gardists, who died in late December.



See the playlist after the break...

In "At McKies" I caught Roswell Rudd quoting (at least) the following - Three Blind Mice, Hackensack, Oh what a beautiful morning, Pop Goes the Weasel, A Mighty Fortress is Our God, The Song is You, Get Happy. My feat of editing is merely overlapping the fade-out of side 1 with the fade-in of side two, which occurs the the beginning of Rudd's solo.

Kyaw Kyaw Naing is from Burma, not Indonesia as I say. I still can't pronounce his name correctly.

I hadn't heard the MALIcool album in quite a while. When I decided to swap out a track that wasn't going to fit with a track from that album of similar length, I had no idea that "MALIcool" was the same tune as "Maine," which I considered playing, but at over 18 minutes, was just too long.

I did a Google search for the text of "The Cold Song" and at the bottom of the top result, a songwriting credit was given to Gordon "Sting" Sumner. Who knew?
