Ugh... I missed this one. My favorite Denise Williams, hands down. Mark, that Brick record is such a good Funk record. Grew up listening to that one. That Gabriels record is FANTASTIC. Saw them live here in So.California not too long ago; maybe about 18 to 20 months ago. There was such a fantastic Reggae scene in the UK early on wasn't there? That's one thing the West Coast of the U.S. lacks is a good Reggae scene. I'd be interested in that Gendel-Wilkes record. Always good to see you two jibber jabber intelligently about records. Cheers to you both! TONE

Great stuff as always. Merger has been on my radar for a while now. It has a very nice jazziness and very uk sound. Walter heath is a lovely one to, I've been waiting patiently in the hope one might turn up over here. All the best.

[@omniversal7]

Hi Laurence - the Walter Heath turned up on ebay when I refreshed the page searching for an affordable copy - complete fluke .....

[@spinningreek2247]

Missed you boys. Nice selection for me to explore. I love that Garcia record obviously. Mare of Easttown is set in Delaware County where I live. My niece was an extra in one of the episodes. Great little series

[@drrhythmn]

Hi Stavros - it's good to be back - I think we might finally get to meet up for real next time - I must watch Mare of Eastown!

[@omniversal7]

Hey Stavros. Way back in the 80s I think we once crossed into the north end of the County on the way to or from Philadelphia. Need to have a proper look! Hope you're very well

[@XjunkieNL]

Hi John and Mark. Can you image this is already 18 months going on? Secretly hoping you guys where able to meet again. Recently got the Gabriels EP. Intriguing record/music. Catch you guys on the radio :) Cheers. /Paul

[@drrhythmn]

Cheers Paul - I was intrigued to see what the Gabriels band looked like too - you can see them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PFapJ8YqiNfqc - and thanks for tuning into this and the radio too!

[@XjunkieNL]

@@drrhythmn Thanks for the link, Mark. Hadn't seen it yet. Much more polished as expected. /Paul

Ok

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Chaps. I thoroughly enjoyed Mare Of Easttown. Great story and an acting masterclass. Best thing I’ve seen on the idiot lantern for a while. I heard Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes being interviewed on the Gilles Peterson show a month or so ago and thought that the Music For Saxofone & Bass Guitar album sounded really interesting. I think you’ve played some tracks on your show too, Mark? Will pick up the album at some point. Cheers. John

[@drrhythmn]

I love the sound that those guys are currently exploring - groove and glitch in equal measures - with great playing too - yes - I have been playing a fair bit of music that they are involved in (as has John!)

[@omniversal7]

Crazily saving up the last episode of Mare of Easttown. Don't want it to end ....

[@Paneeks1960]

Wonderful to see the best longtime duo in the VC. Hi Mark Hi John. That National Information Society has been written down. Have seen the Max Roach / Anthony Braxton before. Anything with Braxton that I have heard so far I liked. I just spun Five Compositions on Black Saint and it was great. I never had an original Track Records pressing of Who's Next. I showed the three record set in my last video. Two of the albums are on Track and the other is on Decca. A nicely packaged edition. www.discogs.com/The-Who-Whos-Next/release/1592365 Another superb video guys. I am very thankful that you both continue to do these videos. You always remind me on how great the VC was in the early years. I am continually inspired by the artists/albums that you show. Enjoy the rest of the weekend~ Rob/Boston

[@drrhythmn]

Always appreciate your positive and encouraging vibes Rob - I hope you are doing ok?

[@omniversal7]

Hi Rob - The Roach/Braxton albums are great fun. I think you'll enjoy them. Hope you're very well.

[@Localbandography]

Mark check out more of Joshua Abrams’ stuff on the Eremite Records label. All of it is good. Always great to see the Hat Hut doubles. Solid session again gentlemen.

[@drrhythmn]

Thanks for the recommendation - just been listening to a great tune of his called Geranium

[@Ed-Topo-108]

Hope you can both do a show (radio too) non - remotely next month. Interested to hear that Sam Gendel. Pretty sure he’s the player in Clown Core! (Probably with Louis Cole)

[@drrhythmn]

Thanks for introducing me to Clown Core Ed! Sounds like they might be another guise for KNOWER? Certainly that sounds like Louis Cole on the drums for them - I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Sam Gendel connection there too!

[@omniversal7]

Thanks Ed. Clown Core sound a bit like the return of Mr Bungle. No bad thing!

[@Ed-Topo-108]

@@omniversal7 yes! Not a big fan of clowns but Louis Cole (?) is an outstanding drummer.. original style too.

[@omniversal7]

@@Ed-Topo-108 Yep - I evidently had an unhappy encounter with a clown when I was about 5. Probably explains a lot!

[@Ed-Topo-108]

@@omniversal7 😂 when I used to get the tube at Green Park daily there was a sad clown busker playing guitar & harmonica. Used to scare the hell out of me!
