"big" Paul has a solo project coming out soon...early 2021

Paul's recording in a studio ?

checking in for a dose of syrup

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I didn't know you cared to listen

Paul from killing joke...

Thank YOU Victor ! You guest might enjoy hearing the "treatment" of his voice imparting great info.

goes by the name of big paul...

Right! I thought you were being a proud papa..

Hi Kevin! Thanks for checking in. You get name checked in the 2nd hour of this TWO hour slog today..

Merry Monday Jeff

Pour some syrup on me. Double Stack

'mornin' Jamie.. Hey KOTJ !

Talk about syrup! That set flowed like it for sure ! Happy solstice & yontiv :D

Hop to Zappa Live Stream after Syrup...get out before Depress Me Now! 12pm-5pm www.mixcloud.com/live/kotjames http://artguy.com/JesusShow2020.jpg

thx Pat hope you're well. Yeah having two hours get stretch out a bit..

That was a cool star gaze sample/tag.

Happy solstice everyone!

Enjoying the solstice syrup.

Happy SolsticeConvergence Bruce! (though it's looking like we won't be able to see the great convergence.. cloudy!

I feel fully converged at the moment

Anyone remember this Chimera song? I heard this a lot on ZBC back in the early "Flyweight" era

I love this FACS thing...

i keep checking to see if FACS puts out something new.. you're way more on top of that stuff PC..

FWIW the "crew member" drops were in flight announcements for "Dinner in the Sky" "...which uses a crane to hoist its diners, table, and waiting staff 150 feet into the air. Forbes magazine called it one of the world's ten most unusual restaurants."

Hi Jeff!

BTW, the best syrup is Canadian, IMHO

I'm going to be playing this this week as well...I got it from perry while we were zooming last Wed...

Who is Blanketman?

I wanted to bust his chops about why a remix came out just after the normal released and why didn't he get it right the first time, but humor doesn't always go well over email

Hey andrew...I'm finally not zooming on monday morning...I can listen and chat here while emailing and database mining on another window...

Well, then allow me to vent

Last Friday the powers that be at WZBC asked if I would like to move to Tuesdays from 1000-1200 during Xmas break

Since my show is at the lonely hour of 0600 I immediately said that yes I would

Since that time I have not heard confirmation from either Mariam or Judy in spite of numerous entreaties on my part to each of them

I see from this weeks schedule that I am still at 0600-0800 on Wednesday in spite of the fact that there five two hour holes in the schedule

I don't mind being moved to fill holes in the schedule but I do mind a lack of clarity and responsiveness on the part of ZBC management

I saw the gaping holes in the schedule and offered to pick up another hour...since I actually hate doing only one hour...so we'll se

Although I will produce my show one way or another, the schedule does make a difference in terms of when I have to the show produced.

Jeff, do you have Judy's ear?

PeterC--you should definitely be able to do two hours. It's a no brainer

Jeff: if you like Cristina you should check out the new Aksak Maboul

cristina...brilliant...I have a mix I do for my annual xmas eve gathering that this is on...

I don't know about all this schedule talk, it's crucial to keep space open to hear more spotify mixes of pitchfork recommended indie tracks (ducks)

Kevin:rofl!

hey AH - Oroboros.. wow yeah sorry, I've had to deal with similar communication issues.. I'll see if I can help sort it out, would be great to hear your show during the day..

hey Jeff, about Christmas - it is Friday, not Saturday!

http://artguy.com/JesusShow2020.jpg

which is not happening this year...The kids that used to sit at the kids table are now scattered across the world...DC, LA, China...Mine was the littlest kid and he's 6'1"!!!

hope that doesn't add to your stress ;D

Friday! Jesus Show Live Stream only. 8am-4pm www.mixcloud.com/live/kotjames

funny I just bought that ZE Christmas Album about a week ago. Did not know about it until recently.

No surprise here....I wasn't asked to do anymore ZBC during the break.

oops, you're right Bruce ! Held the calendar at the wrong angel.. or angle. .

@KOTJ....we're all going to start charging for advertising ...lol...looking forward to the annual jesus show!!!!

the christmas angle

ask the angles

funny to be playing this song during this thread :)

the only bad thing about Sound Syrup: every time it comes on my wallet goes $25-$50 lighter buying up new things I hear

before the internet - i once turned down a job because the city had no college radio stations, I'd have been spending $300 a week on music. So college radio SAVES you money :)

off to set up the Zappa Zoom Cornucopia of Tech that will work flawlessly! Catch the last hour later today.

what are opinions about the new Zappa soundtrack album? worth it? My existingZappa/Mothers collection is not vast, mostly essentials

wand is really one of the best bands out there these days; not the popular opinion but I say they are a big leg up on darlings The Oh Sees

the bells were a nice touch

Hi Saginaw! Glad you are here. I wanted to let you know that my show is moving to Tuesdays 1000-1200 for the Xmas break

I know...I'm too, too.

Thx Saginaw ! "Instant Xmas Bells" is a handy trick for Xmas sale commercials..

Missing a good show....still stuck in a Zoom meeting...UGH.

Jeff....fantastic show..really fantastic... the 2 hour format is much better it allows us to stretch out more...I'm doing 2 hours from now on and putting the xtra hour on mixcloud if it doesn't get programmed on ZBC...until of course until the other project not to be named yet gets going

deserta has an obvious cocteaus influence (but I like this)

What Peter C says, Jeff. This is a great show and two hours is much better format for the flow you are able to enginner

Going to listen to more Deserta

whenever I hear tones on tail I can only think of one thing. Bauhaus sound check at the Channel...peter and daniel are total dicks....met a roadie glenn who was super nice and told me they were nice enough to record something with him under another name and can they send us a copy...Sure...that thing was tones on tail

nooooo, jeff! The world needs two hours of Sound Syrup whenever possible!

I agree but also understand...

friggin' kills me time wise though.. I know i'm very lucky to be too busy with work. if I could streamline the process..

@PeterC: I interviewed Peter Murphy once, he was indeed kind of a dick. Apparently I royally pissed him off by mentioning Wire.

Hello, AH. Happy Holidays, All!

I remember seeing Peter Murphy on a late night talk show. He played Indigo Eyes, and then the host (Dennis Miller) compared hm to Iggy Pop. Murphy flipped him the bird and walked off stage.

heheh. Miller deserved that

Yeah, kinda.

great show Jeff.

@Jamie that's funny. Guess I deserved his rage too, but I was just talking to him about music. Dude is clearly full of himself.

All queried on the matter seem to agree that Peter Murphy is a dick. Confessing that I have seen him with and without Bauhaus many times.

@Jeff, clearly, and nobody really deserves anyone's rage in these situations. It's not like you threatened violence.

I kind of accept that great artists will always have psychological issues.

And Peter Murphy's rage was muted, I was just reading him, wasn't obvious. He was trying to get his song played at the radio station, so diplomacy was prudent on his part.

I was thinking the same. That creativity has to comer from somewhere.

thanks for another great show Jeff - I too would love 2 hours but will take what I can get - recognizing it was once or twice a year for a few years there!

I used to get into it with AlJ often, but we knew each other reasonably well once upon a time. The only other person I ever got into it with just a couple of years ago with richard23 from front 242...Paul Barker sorted it out and were friends...

I'm with Bruce...

Thanks Jeff!

My time's up! Thank you friends :)

greatness jeff...
