Specialty

With Carl Thien

In the same way that a seagull locates the one good piece of food inside of a crumpled up brown bag blown underneath a car after a worker’s lunch break, Carl finds the one good

song hidden at the end of side 2 on a dusty record in a forgotten corner of a record store,

and brings new finds to you every week on Gulls Window Circus, weaving a story that

never repeats itself as it ebbs and flows through time, geography and genre.

#454

I loved The Maps, would go to all their shows. Great pity there was not more recorded by them.
Pat Irwin (1) 5:09:38 PM
Hey Carl - this series SO rocks! Will want to archive at the end :D
Carl Thien (host) 5:11:58 PM
please do. I LOVED doing this series, and the remaining ones are so fine... My next multi-week series is hardcore. I am having lots of fun programming that now in advance of recording the shows. Thanks for letting me know you're enjoying them!
Carl Thien (host) 5:13:10 PM
Kevin - agreed about sad there is no more recordings. This is pretty close though - get it if you don't have it https://www.discogs.com/Various-Billys-Revue/release/3992711
Carl Thien (host) 5:13:30 PM
I hadn't moved to Boston yet when The Maps were happening
Kevin Gross 5:16:03 PM
Carl, thanks!
Carl Thien (host) 5:16:54 PM
I take it that means you hadn't hard the LP - go for it!
Carl Thien (host) 5:17:55 PM

Kevin Gross (1) 5:30:49 PM
Carl, yeah, I do have Billie's Revue. Haven't listened to it in a bunch of years: no turntable at the moment. I wish stuff like it, the Throbbing Lobster albums, Bans That Could Be God, etc. were available electronically.
Carl Thien (host) 5:32:01 PM
I'm still aphysical product fool, I have all the records you just mentioned. I don't do digital music at all at this point
Kevin Gross (1) 5:34:51 PM
Yeah, I'm still hooked on physical CDs, and need to get my turntable operational as well!
Carl Thien (host) 5:37:57 PM
yes, agreed. I've got noting against cds as well
Carl Thien (host) 5:50:35 PM
pretty awesome cover, and fitted well with Miss Mend, I'd say
JeffB 5:50:38 PM
Hello I love you.. don't think I've ever heard this cover ! At first thought it was a cover of "Making Plans for Nigel"
JeffB 5:50:53 PM
Really enjoyed the Mazzy Star cuts earlier
Carl Thien (host) 5:56:39 PM
nice - (think it was xtc cover) - i love it! ...it was real fine. Listen without judegement, the best way, I believe
JeffB 6:10:25 PM
presume Mourn from Barcelona that I played over the summer on ZBC is a different "Mourn"..
Carl Thien (host) 6:10:56 PM
defintely
Carl Thien (host) 6:11:18 PM
that one is on the label Captured Tracks. This was a local band
JeffB 6:12:37 PM
Barcelona version all female.. also really good
Carl Thien (host) 6:13:14 PM
I've never listened to them, but I trust your taste
Kevin Gross (1) 6:36:38 PM
There's a b&w video for this song. My recollection is that Jimmy Page produced the single.
Carl Thien (host) 6:44:54 PM
from here till the end today are 100%ers, all tracks I l-o-v-e
Kevin Gross (1) 6:45:14 PM
Nice.
Carl Thien (host) 6:58:11 PM
