Thanks for listening, y'all...and thanks for the kind words! It's still a work in progress - this is the first week I tried using the liners. It's getting there....

I can use more liners from people! Requests too!

Oh, and this was the first show I recorded. It'll be posted on a website within a week or so (http://www.radiocosmosis.com).

Thanks again!

I'm so embarrased that I haven't listened to your show yet, cosmos. But once you have them available for download, I will certainly listen to all of them on my iPod. It's just hard being around a computer when your show airs (either that or on the Friday airings I'm at work and can't listen)

In any case, I'd like to request "Pain In My Heart" by Otis Redding

I'm in the same position as Blue...and I doubt if I'll ever own an Ipod! I'm hoping you'll have it avaialble in some sort of techno-peasant friendly windows media accessible type format, but I realize that may not be doable.

Anyhow, as regards a request, how about...

Thanks BWAP! I just picked up the Fire/Fury set last month through Amazon Marketplace (it's out of print). The set is a lot of fun!

I just wanted to pass on that Spooky and I caught some of the show while getting ready to leave to our weekend in Chattanooga. We came in a bit before the Buck Owens live at Carnegie Hall and probably caught the next 45 minutes. Nice selection of music.

Thanks, Sir Cosmos. Just be glad I didn't suggest something really cheesy. (You might have gotten "Me Japanese Boy, I Love You")

Actually bobster, I was worried that you would request "Jeans On".

I think that a great cheesy (in the best possible way) song to play, and you can count this as an official request from moi, would be Buck Owens' "Made in Japan".

This week's show will be a special one, as I'll be airing my interview with Sananda Maitreya.

Not sure what youngsters mean with your newfangled expressions like "oh snap", El Vez, but criminy, Mr. Cosmosis, that's almost enough to jusitfy the purchase of an IPOD right there...now that's what music radio is supposed to be!

Okay, since EV started it, I'm feeling unreasonabl now, so I have to get in there with a real challenge (and one I won't fault you for ignoring for, among other reasons, you might not have an appropriate version on hand!)....Anyhow, how about just about any version you can find of the song variously known as "Tango Ballad", "The Procurer's Ballad" and even "Knocking Shop Ballad" from "Threepenny Opera."

Anyhow, it's the tango from "Threepenny Opera" which basically recounts domestic (un)happiness in a rather nasty bordello (though perhaps not in the bowledrized Marc Blitzstein translation). My personal favorite version of the duet features Raul Julia and Ellen Greene from a Joe Papp production in the seventies...think it's completely and utterly out of print....There's a pretty good German one from the 1950s with Lotte Lenye and (?) that will at least get you around any censorship issues (it's pretty strong stuff, or not, depending on the translation). There's also a punked up English production that I have slightly mixed feelings about.

Or if that's hard, how about any version of "The Ballad/Saga of Jenny" from "Lady in the Dark"? (Julie Andrews actually recorded an outstanding version of this for the movie "Star", which I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding... :twisted: )

Or how about "Mack the Knife" :D

Lyle Lovett does a nice version of Mac the Knife on his songs from the movies album.

Nice to see Lindsay Buckingham in there Cosmos - all his solo albums are really great , especially the DW Suite from his Go Insane record which was written for Dennis Wilson. Another great show.

Things are still sorta primitive. I have to record these shows onto cassette and then transfer them to CD. I hope to have them recorded and in the webmaster's hands in a few days.
