Paul thanks for playing firefall! Hows about “i dont really mind” by Tame Impala. Theyre these kids from australia. Thanks again good sir.
- Paul Slavens
  
  thanks for the nice comments and suggestions. I can totally get some Tame Impala on. Havent played them in a long time
  same with the Sebadoh. @Thom, yes and yes.
Yet Another James

Great stuff tonight! Thanx for the Beck, Tom Waits & for introducing me to Anna Calvi, Japancakes & that groovy track from A Tribe Called Quest. Perhaps you could play “Not Too Amused” by Sebadoh from the Bakesale recording should you feel so inclined.
Mark

My lady KK is wanting to hear ‘Video Games’ by Lana Del Ray.

Thanks for the cluster of sounds.
- Paul Slavens
  
  @Mark- rats!!you missed it by one week. I played that tune on my show last sunday night. yep, she
  appears to be blowing up.
Chad Rueffer

Really cool show Paul! Haven’t learnt chess yet, but i would
love to hear any Bartok snippets you deemed appropriate.
- Paul Slavens
  
  Chad-cant rock any Bartok for you this week, although I will be playing some John Cage later this set.
  Its never to late to learn chess. Great to have you along , my friend.
pamitha

Can you play me some old PJ Harvey like oh my lover, or salty dog? Any of her stuff would be great from round the 50 foot. Queenie era.
- Paul Slavens
  
  I loves me some PJ, and it will go great with the Bartok. Next sunday nights show is shaping up. but I need more !
Linda

As always, love your show. Wonder if you could play some Cafe Noir to honor the memory of the lovely and incredibly talented Gale Hess?
Thanks for the music.
- Paul Slavens
  
  I was unable to track down any Cafe Noir in time for the show. but I will get on it again for next week.
Sarah Francis

Henry + The Invisibles is a one-man-phunk-band out of San Antonio and one of my favorite things ever. His live shows are unlike anything else I have seen and he engages the audience to where everyone is dancing the whole night! I’d love to see him get some recognition up in the Dallas area and I’d love to see him book shows here! The website is http://WWW.henryinvisible.com
Kyle K

Paul I’m lovin’ the show! Hey next week I’d enjoy hearing Buckethead’s Shadow Between The Sky from said album if you can make it fit. Thanks!
Chad Rueffer

Quite sated with Mr. Cage..thank you
- Paul Slavens
  
  excellent.
  thanks for all the great suggestions, keep em coming, this blog will still be here all week.
  cheers.

Thom

More?
How about, ‘Hymn To Her’ from The Pretenders
or ‘Misty Blue’ from Ella Fitzgerald
Thom

PJ Harvey is a great idea, but so is Nick Cave, so how about the duet, ‘Henry Lee’?
Thom

lol,night Paul
Mark Scruggs

Hey Paul, great show tonight, and as I write, Miles … thanks. But I started with hearing John Cage – where else could I hear that music (followed by Miles) – so I go back and remember Stockhausen – I know that would be out there but a bit of the godfather of the electronic would be a treat.

I was at Rounderrecords YouTube channel and found a well done song:
Kathleen Edwards – ‘Change The Sheets’

I’ve just started listening to your show but I’m already a BIG fan! Here is a song by a not very well known band that I absolutely love. It’s Doorways by Radical Face

I just realized that Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is on Monday, January 16, 2012. Is it too late to request a MLK song? My favorite song about MLK is “Beautiful Fool” by Don Henry off his “Wild in the Backyard” CD from the early 90’s. Below is a link of the song and lyrics. I can’t find on the internet a copy that you can purchase. It seems the only versions of his song I’m finding are live versions of the song. The album version is the best.

Paul,
It’s been a while since you’ve played The Jazz Butcher. You should play a little something off Bloody Nonsense. Fabulous Album.
Regards,
James
