12:05 p.m. Tribute to Marva Wright
4:20 p.m. Campbell Brothers
6:00 p.m. Kirk Joseph's Tuba Tuba

11:30 NY time
I start listening to Sean's Music in the Glen
show. Glad to hear that's still on!

Flash player is stopping often and we have audio dropouts.

Never heard a brass band Irish tune... with
Scandinavian fiddle! Ah, Annbjørg Lien.

CD player jams. (Some stations would bring up a bed in the meantime...)

Surprise Me, Mr Davis, what a great name for a NO band!

They go to the fest. The laughing idiot is on.

Purple hearts! (for two or three hours of sleep)

Tin Men - interesting. I've wanted to hear their music.

Go to Grandpa Elliott at 12:21 NY time. I am not expecting to like this.

DJs aren't breaking in after each song to do IDs.
How nice. We can hear silence/crowd noise/stage
talk between songs. The way it'd be if we were
there.

Cabbage Alley! (Bonerama, but I love the David
Torkanowsky version from Piano Night a few years
ago better.)

Promo comes on loud. ok level but sounds loud. Jarring.

Bolero? Oy.

The laughing idiot knows his music. I was
impressed at his playing of some band called
Pnobo? at the FQF. When he talks he's alright.
When he gets giddy, watch out.

DJ level is a little lower than CD.

Tribute to Marva Wright

DJ does ID, 1:28 NY time

Nice set. Thanks!

Laughing idiot (Andrew) is actually interesting
(and not laughing maniacally, thank goodness.) He
needs to stop talking every once in awhile
though. Dean is interesting too and doesn't have
the problems that most OZ DJs have.

repeat of Tuxedo from yesterday...
Wow, Dave Bartholomew. Tenderly but still good to hear he's still around.

Bradley and Jack next

Horn Man Blues! by ?

Station ID

Piquante...

Leroy rebroadcast (w/ some mix problems)

A gracious Careless Love. Then a very brash promo. Oy.

Whooping Blues second line. (Sounded like Whoopin Booze...)

(I go out to get mail and check out the garden...)

Campbell Brothers begin at 5:31 NY time
Sacred steel.

Flash player is stopping alot. A pain.

At 6 I listen to Prairie Home Companion but will check back here and there.

"It's off the chain", whatever that means.

Go to Kirk Joseph at 7:08 NY time.
Some nice grooves but not that interesting.

Trout Meunière! Great name.

Ends at 8pm NY time.

Jazz Fest 2010, FRIDAY, APRIL 23

11:20 a.m. Kipori Woods
2:05 p.m. Leroy Jones & New Orleans Finest
4:30 p.m. Lena Prima
Bob French closes out/Original Tuxedo Brass Band

I tune in at 11:12 NY time. A nice trumpet tune
is on. Nice to hear organ in the group,
dixieland/trad group. (Lionel Ferbos!)

DJ nonsense (Keith): "You're entuned to..."
Entuned? (We'll be hearing "Keep it locked right
here", etc, another awful cliche. Yep, just did.)
Entuned - not a word. The word is "tuned".

Funny Touro Synagogue listing in the Live Wire, added on after it was recorded.

12:04 NY time
They go to the Fairgrounds
DJ Charlie and Missy
KUVO in Denver is broadcasting this amongst others!

I should count the number of times they do a
station ID... Probably 3 so far in, no, 4 now, in
two minutes.

Silence... after talking about Facebook

"Dashboard of your computer." Another awful cliche used by WWOZ DJs.

I hear a brass band in the distance.

Little Freddie King story. Hearing some weird
noise on a regular basis, kinda like rubber being
scuffed. Can't imagine what it is. Some sort of
digital problem? Hearing it during music or
speech.

I don't see anything on the KUVO website about
this broadcast, supposedly a simulcast. What
explains that? (As amateur a station as OZ?)

The strange noise continues with the DJs on mic.

Stream is hiccupping frequently, audio dropping
out for fraction of a second every minute or so.

Go to stage, Kipori Woods, 12:30 NY time. Excellent mix.

Stream still hiccupping and hearing other strange noises frequently enough.

Hey, the song ended and the DJs didn't break in
to do a station ID! How rare is that?

Roger Lewis playing with him!

Do station ID after a song begins at the top of the hour. Repeat OZ twice.

Set over 1:10 NY time. We're going to hear
station IDs for each station so maybe OZ won't
repeat their ID so often. Maybe they'll try to
sound more professional with all those others
listening...

Lots of weird noises.

Cochon de lait segment. Got the Yin and Yang! George talks very slow.

Marcia Ball, Torkanowsky pronounces it Mar-see-a. I thought it was Mar-sha?

James Rivers, another jazz bagpipe player (described as bagmen, airmen).

Lots of strange "eurp" noises... Kinda sounds like a cat sneeze.

DJ level much higher than stage.

Missy: "Renard Poché's closet never left the 70s!"

Do station IDs for all those stations.

Jon Cleary cut peaking at -10db whereas DJs on
mic = 0db. Probably the same for any non-DJ feed.

Dan Dyer track from 2007, peaking at 0, averaging -10.

Audio dropouts continue. Strange noises too. Both
happening more often. (I'm using the iTunes mp3
stream.)

Lots of sex in these songs, Black drawers, Fine Brown Frame...

Next cut a little hot (levelwise)

Flash stream has dropouts but the weird noises
seem to have disappeared. And I'm using less CPU
not having iTunes open.

Nice version of Must Be Hercules...

Do Watcha Wanna's got me dancing. Haven't heard
it in awhile. (I'm sure it gets overplayed but
this a good version.)

Nice poetry/reading of NO musician names to Miss Liza Jane.

We were hearing two tunes/CDs at once right
before they went to the stage for Leroy Jones.
Did they know it? I doubt it. So, instead of
turning down what was airing so it wouldn't
compete with what I'm guessing was coming from
the stage, they left it. Stupid. If someone
actually listened to what was airing, mistakes
like this wouldn't be made.

My favorite Dirty Dozen tune, The Lost Souls of Southern La.!

Then, how obnoxious can you get, they start doing
promos OVER IT! Jesus F'ing Christ. Idiots.

Dropouts are getting longer.

Looks like some serious rain on the radar... I
bet the rest of the day is cancelled.

They go to the stage! Leroy plays schmaltz, well. (Dinah)

Set over? No, technical problems.

Swingin' 60s tune.

Leroy's back. No DJ tells us what's going on. We
hear the rain still. We hear the stage announcer
then the DJ comes on. OK.

That Old Rugged Cross. Nice. (Treme Brass Band)

New DJ. David Kunian. A good man.

Another, same version of Must Be Hercules? Is it that popular?

Lose audio yet player shows content... (again)

I reload that page much later and it works.

Dmitri says sim-ul-cast. Sim, as in The Sims. Should be Si, as in Sigh.

Lina Prima on at 5:39 NY time.

O Ma Ma!

This is cheering me up...

WWOZ music player stops again...

It stops a few times later as well.

Bob French manages to insult Indianians. Way to
go Bob. True to form. An a-hole.

I didn't hear much of these shows but overall the
mixes are good, the DJs not too bad. I'm looking
forward to better music but we'll see.
