With James

In these confused times isn't it nice to find some relief? Every week, James will try to bring some sense into this crazy world via the radio waves. Look back. Look forward. Seek the truth. Never dull. Always irreverent. Fight the good fight by just sitting back and listening.

Welcome folks to another KOTJ Friday. It's great to have ya'll here with a guy like me. "Cool" announcements comin' up.

Logging in 4 duty

Good morning

Hello A.D. and welcome back Saginaw for a second heapin' helpin'

oh my. I hope mark mothersbaugh is listening right now.

It's a really good record.

"It's all about power."

Greetings and salutations

Wow! two back for a double dose.

We can't stay away

Cool Greenhouse guy!

Is this where the rock is being dispensed?

Yep. Zoom prerecording on Monday. David Nance Tuesday.

howdy, kotj!

@DJS...just tilt the head back and out it comes.

@b4 hells-lo

Recommended to me and then me to DJ Simon, some great viewing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2040281/

Streams free on Boston Public Library via Hoopla.

I'll vouch for that flick – it's fun, uplifting, inspiring.

Just heard from Tom of Cool Greenhouse. Confirmed for Monday interview. Stay tuned.

Whoa! When? I hope I can get it :/

Probably on next Friday KOTJ and then on KOTJ archive.

Nice James...have you done many interviews on your show before this year?

And Beauty is Embarrassing is the best!!

Tons. I know my skills don't represent but interviews seemed to be a thing of the past. Maybe the pandemic has helped that.

For the last few years I contact and nobody gets back but all-of-the-sudden.

I would think so. Marc Maron has had so many weirdly huge movie starts on his podcast (WTF) in the last year.

folks want to connect

Always Marc Maron.

U F with WTF James?

If I changed the name of this show, not, "Toiling in Obscurity"

We are an intimate community of amiable lunatics devoid of commercialization and big media.

Hell yeah!!

Amen to that, lol!

The Saturday Home Pandemicast will now be known as "Toiling in Obscurity"

That truly is toiling in obscurity. Maybe a dozen or two listeners?

FYI: www.artguy.com/KOTJ.html for three radio shows and all the Saturday and Kick Out The Oldies Pandemicasts

KOTJ Live Streams @ www.mixcloud.com/live/KOTJames 8pm on Thursdays. Toiling in Obscurity streams 8pm on Saturdays. Kick Out the Oldies streams 8pm on Sundays.

\m/

I can never remember to tune in on Thurs nites

It's all good. Unless drunk at an airport bar....

ohhh James on the web, love it

We'll see. my old site was outmoded and dead. So, resurrection.

Don't forget DJ Simon on Z Monday's 8am-10am and at www.mixcloud.com/DJSimonrocks/

Damn

Time fries

Hey, thanks for the plug.

Then the early pandemic Chinese Food.

Windsor Cafe!

Yes!

Went for Hereford St. ramen with my pal Anne on Wednesday. I think my third time dining out since lockdown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letraset

*"Burnishing" Letraset

I'll have to add Nice Surprise to my list of song names that are also the band name.

https://www.plazaart.com/media/catalog/product/cache/ccef16a607543ca3a348715f964b5aa6/3/7/378049.jpg

"This fine tip burnisher is extra small and has two usable sides, with a "bone" end for burnishing letters and creating crisp creases or folds and durable metal tip for detail work. Burnishing pressure is adjustable by turning the bone end. Especially designed for applying dry transfers. Works well for embossing and with tapes."

The Bone End = band name.

Black Cat Bone End

Appreciate the glottal on "Bruno ist dagegen" translates to "Bruno is against it." Glad I can still use my Middlebury German degree!

I'd rather be burnished than banished.

*used to get Letraset at Johnson Paint upstairs @ 355 Newbury St.

That's where I'd get mine. Loved that upstairs art store.

and ... Charrette (!) next to Boston Symphony Hall

When lower newbury was cool.

Mark E Smith interviewed on Soft Focus by Ian Svenonious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05-ytS6ALLA&ab_channel=FRiB6890

What are all the concert listings in reference to? Ever considered a blog of all these shows?

That sonhg by the Gordon's was a tour de force

I thought this was a cover of "She's Lost Control" by Joy Division for a sec

You dropped the bomb on me...

@ Jamie YES. They became Bailterspace

Once A YEAR! HA...that's nothing!

@ MOLES! Lovely to have here/hear and chatting

I've been saving/entering all the shows (i can remember?) on "Calendar" (Mac) over the years ... handy.

Q: What are all the concert listings in reference to? A: Boston music scene history / on this date / etc.

AH!!! pardon....I'm slow

chrome @ middle east up in 2018 was fun

(old news?) *New from the Comsat Angels singer ... https://www.stephenfellows.com

Did not know. Checkin' that Fellows out.

https://stephenfellows.bandcamp.com/

did the "visuals" (design) for this ... *TJAMC crew / fundraiser https://thedisciplesofmary.bandcamp.com/album/taste-of-candy-ep

I wonder, if I had chosen to go to Tufts instead of Middlebury, how many of the shows you mention I may have gone to 1978-1982 (my college years). I got to see some shows in Burlington and during summers in Boston/Cape

that's the third time middlebury has come up in three days.

Love the Pure Morning. And Clinic last week

HG- ;-)

And Clinic on the Toiling In Obscurity Saturday show last week....the last three weeks of saturdays have been pretty amazing

OH RIGHT. It was the Anon CD release. I did the art for the cake like song on the compilation

New KOTJ shirt idea; "I'm not a mac-daddy"

https://www.stoltze.com/projects/assorted-music-graphics/

Wow...I would have thought it would have been me making all those mentions of Midd... :-)

Can see my elvis baby art for the cake like song

Also a portion of my turkish delight Smooth Karate art for the other CVB compilation

6 1/2 years

@Allison...yes on T-shirt. Sadly, I have wasted so much money on t-shirts that never sold.

I have one! Very small on me these days but I still wear it

sarrrry hah...I love a crab!

All I need is my crabby patty.

It's that thing where they say that every pessimist is an idealist deep down. I think I'm very nice but also very crabby

Hope for the best. Expect the worst. Hope - the best. Expect - the worst.

prolific

Good morning,James & KOTJ listeners,hope you’re all doing well-thank you,James,for the King Khan Unlimited song.Glad to hear about the old doings on Newbury Street & the memorable rock shows.

Toiling Midgets is a rock band from San Francisco, California formed in 1979 by members of ... They were replaced by drummer and long-time producer Tom Mallon and bassist Erich Werner, formerly a member of Telepaths and The Blackouts (!).

¡MES!

The Fall is the only thing keeping me going!

March 5th is a Friday...I feel another fall tribute coming on.

If anyone is starting a band, possible name is Biz Markie Smith

Crap. Mixcloud locked out this show due to the fall tribute.

Thought playing interview clips between songs would beat the system.

or ... Marky Mark E. Smith

Battle of the Bands

Printhead was great!

Once again folks, I am humbled by the dedicated listenership and support of a lunatic like me and what I present for those that get it.

Mark E. Mark and the Fall Bunch.

@ Jamie...hadn't heard it in a while. Enjoyed the mug art too.
