can the whole song be had for either love or money?
they don't seem to have it at itunes store for 99 cents so i guess i'm prepared to break down and buy a cd if that's what it takes.
could you point me to which one though, please?

loving your show more than ever. keep up great work!

Subject: RE: a new fan
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003

Hello,

This past Saturday I tuned into your program for the first time.  It was
halfway through the new Rufus Wainwright song that caught my ear.  I was
thrilled because I had not purchased the CD yet.  When the song was over I
left the dial just where it sat and for what could have been an awful 40
minute, traffic filled ride on the Belt Parkway, I heard some of the best
radio programming ever.  It was such a good program that I actually embraced
the idea of circling the blocks, looking for a parking spot.  When you gave
the set list, I frantically scribbled down names I was unfamiliar with:
Damien Rice, Mojave 3, etc.  The following day, I went to Tower Records and
bought them all.

I thought I had discovered a secret when I stumbled onto your program, but
when I searched on google, I immediately realized that I am just one of
many, many New Yorkers who are blessed to have you steering us through an
otherwise desperate sea of bad music.

So, I just wanted to say thank you for such a fantastic radio program.
I look forward to many more Saturdays tuning in,
and am wistful that I have missed so many...

Best,

Hi,

I heard the 13th of September show in the car, but
didn't make it home to tape it, and it was great.  I'd
like to get a copy of the show to send to my dad in
florida, he's a big fan of both warren zevon and
johnny cash. Could you please let me know how.

Thanks,
Rachel

Peter,

I've listened to and taped your show for 4 years. I love it. I just moved to
San Francisco and really miss the show. Although I can listen to wbai live
on the web I always miss your show because of the time change.

On wfmu I can listen to old programs in Real One Player - do you have shows
I can access from the web so I can listen to them at my leisure?

I couldn't find it on your website but possibly it is lurking in a corner...

I do hope so because I really love your show.

Thank you!!!

Peter,
I was gone for the summer traveling mostly through France and Spain with a few weeks in northern Michigan.
Coming back here to this crazy place (mostly referring to our political situation and just the rudeness,
aggresssion and stupidity that seemed so much to be lacking in Europe) is often difficult enough when I usually leave for the summer,
but turning on your show made me realize another reason to continue living here.
Kind of like the songwriter you had on today singing about the reasons not to check out.
 

Thanks,
Jeff

Dear Peter,

You’re great at what you do.  Please keep doing it.

I have been a WBAI person on and off since 1979 as my
fortune, my address with respect to the transmitter,
and station politics, have waxed and waned.  Most
recently in my weekly Saturday sojourns in North
Jersey, I was thrilled by your anti-war mixes this
past spring during the hideous misadventures of the
Bush Regime.

The fire of old was upon the airwaves!

Needless to say, current technology being what it is,
I immediately grabbed the mobile during the begathon
and re-subscribed via the premium of your shows.

You are somewhat, to radio-archivist-sound-art what
Richard Thompson is to folk-rock guitar: a genius at
what he does, who is appreciated by a
relatively “small” number of people, who harbor an
ambivalence toward their hero, in that, they want him
to have greater recognition, and yet simultaneously
fear that conventional “success” might disrupt
and “ruin” the current productive wonder!

Nonetheless, may you enjoy whatever “success” that is
appropriate for your purposes!

I particularly enjoyed your work circa 1984, at the
time of the ascendancy of Reagan-speak...

Tom McNevin

BTW: You have undoubtedly noticed that there have been
an astonishing number of “famous” people who have
checked out this year, most it seems, in the past 4
months.  From Buddy Ebsen, to Leni Riefenstahl and
Edward Teller, who truly bring the 20th Century to an
end, from Gregory Peck to Strom Thurmond, not to
mention those of the last 3 days.   I guess you have
your work cut out for you as it’s going to be one hell
of a Short Cut this year!

Thank you again for playing my track 'The Preacher & The Devil' - I listened to your show yesterday and loved it.
Especially the sound collages - all of that stuff worked really well.
And the set of 'Godwacker' 'The Preacher & The Devil' and 'You Gotta Serve Somebody' came across beautifully (in my opinion)
- each track complimented the other in provactive ways.
The "Saints & Devils" CD project is, on one level, a way for me to navigate and dig into religious iconography and modes of worship.
It's a deep well, and I've enjoyed and been inspired by hearing my tracks programmed
in a variety of creative ways by DJs here in the states as well as overseas.

There's a link to WBAI on my website now.  Thanks again.

Hi Peter.
Just a note to let you know that since you received your Wah Wah Willie cd, 'Cinema',
it has been playlisted on about 35 major city FM stations across the USA and Canada.
This without any hype, no video, only music.
In the last 3 weeks 7 of the tracks have featured in prime time on AT&T Cable TV in California.
The upshot of this is that it was the confidence we gained from sending the disc to you,
and you playing a cut, in New York, that gave us the spirit to contact others.
So, cheers to you, and a "Thank You Bigger Than Texas"
for being so open to music from an unknown artist from underneath the planet.

Best wishes from the southern ocean,
Dennis Nattrass.

Hi Peter,

I have listened to you show during the war conflict with Iraq for the first time and today I listened to it again when you were playing the Argentinean album with the nice tango music as well as the interview to the Argentinean fellow...How does the Argentinean fellow relate to the album?

I am from your Uruguay, where tango is part of the culture just as it is in Argentina.  Uruguay has very good tango singers. Carlos Gardel spent a great part of his life in Uruguay and there are those who argue that he was born in Uruguay also.

I´ll start I listening to your show more often from now on. I have been unemployed for a long time but as soon as I start working I´ll make sure I give my pledge to WBAI, which I started to listen to again during the Iraq conflict after a long time.
I believe and support its work and beliefs.

Hi Peter,

Peter,

I am a listener from the WBAI/FM: Steve Post/Larry Josephson era; although it really seems like just a few weeks ago.
Actually lost touch for some time, probably due to the fact that your show schedule changed, only to find you, again,
as I was turning onto to West 45th Street, NYC, about 18 months ago.
You were not "on mike," but the music on FM/99.5 that Saturday afternoon was distinctive.
But, enough about history.

Ry Cooder and, I believe, his son Jacquim, went to Cuba several years ago and rediscovered an honest,
unadulterabed form of music.  To my mind it's almost like listening to the late Hank Williams.  You connect immediately.
You forgive the marginal selections, but make no mistakes, it's not processed, not produced, not formated to 3 or 4 minutes for air-play.
 It just is what it is - great music.

Ferrer was actually born at a dance in 1927 in Santiago, Cuba.
Together with Ruben Gonzalez, both of these senior citizens have something that you can learn and can't buy...

Good morning.

From someone who has been listening for years, thank you.
All Mixed Up is the best thing ever to come across the airwaves.
I have recently found your web site and was thrilled to see all the
information laid out so well.
I see that some of the "short cuts" CD's are available for sale, but for
the life of me, I can not figure out how to purchase them.
It's likely right in front of me, but I can't see it!
Can you please tell me how to buy "shortcuts" CD's?
Thanks.

Peter,

I've been a devotee of your show since the 80's and I now listen via the internet in Tampa.

You pretty much decide just about everything new that I listen to.

Without you I'd have no Cornershop, no Lemon Jelly, no De Phazz and who knows what else.

Thanks,

Dear Mixed up,

I was just driving home, starving and with a headache and I was tuned
in to your show and then you played the jazz version of Smells Like
Teen Spirit.  I was fascinated and I had to keep listening so you'd
announce who played it.  I wanted to stop for a bite but I didn't
because I didn't want to miss the announcement.  I was happy when you
said that Bad Plus played it, and even happier when you said they
were playing at the Village Vanguard and even happier when you said
you had tickets for Thursday and even happier when you gave your
e-mail address. ..

Sincerely yours,

Jay Bernstein

....that you picked my novel, The Ringer, as one of your best books of 2002.
I can't tell you how much that means to me.

I would love to thank you in my regular voice ..

Hi Peter,

I was driving South on the NYS Thruway when I flipped
the channels and heard "It's You" coming out of and
into the Columbia News Conference stuff and it was
mezmorizing.  I wondered whose music it was and I was
hoping the DJ would tell us.  And you did! Thank you.
I'd heard of Sigur Ross but never had heard their
music before. Now, I'd love to see them live at Radio
City.  (It's rare when you can see a band you don't
know much about, but like one song.)  Whether or not I
get the tickets, thank you for turning me on to Sigur
Ross and providing me with a great car listening
experience - the fog I was driving through helped.
Thanks.

Hello Peter!

Peter,

In your "free time" you might want to offer a seminar on how one can blend "Public Affairs" and "Arts"
and how one links to the previous and leads into the following program without compromising the substance of one's own unique offering.
You do it in Shortcuts and the first fifteen minutes or so of yesterday's show was an excellent example...

Cerene

Hi... Yesterday I was listening to WPKN and you played a song called something like "Paging Mr. Sharkey"..
Would you provide suggestions as to how  I might get a copy of this?  And who is the artist...etc.
  Really enjoyed your program..
Please let me know when you are on this or any other station I can tune in on from Weston, CT.

  Thanks,
D. Doran 

Peter --

   A friend alerted me to your site (we share a Nixon obsession). You
should add Jefferson Airplane's excellent "Mexico" to your list of Nixon
songs--it's about Nixon's 1970 crackdown on dope smuggling.

Dear Peter,

Listening, as opposed to watching, was really refreshing. I enjoyed visualizing the images,
exercising my imagination while reflecting on the past year. Also the combination of music and speaking
was so effective in illustrating the dramatic events of 2002, covering all aspects and bringing back vivid memories.
It is obvious that a tremendous amount of thought, work and effort went into the production, it is evident in it's quality...
My teacher was on the ball when he had my class listen to your program, It's something none of us would have otherwise
been exposed to but everyone seemed entertained, The room was silent as we listened to the collage of sound...
and the room is very rarely silent. Good luck on next year's version,

Hello Peter,

I moved to Westfield, New Jersey from Dallas, Texas a week ago after graduating from college
and was fortunate enough to stumble across your radio program yesterday evening.  What a great playlist--and no commercials!
Anyway, I wasn't able to find the pipeline website you spoke of, so I thought I'd email you.
Yesterday you said you had tickets for a Morcheeba concert on Wednesday night in the city.
I've been listening to them for about 7 years now and missed them the one time they came to Texas.
Is there any chance you have 2 extra tickets that you'd be willing to spare for a poor college student and his girlfriend who completely LOVE this group?  Their cover of "Summertime" with Hubert Laws is amazing, by the way.
If there's any way you could get that on the air this time of year, your listeners would probably eat it up...
 Well, thanks so much for your time.  I look forward to listening to the station on a regular basis now and hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Evan Thompson

I like your show.
It's smooth   &  comfortable
and yet stimulating at the same time.
I guess the selections
represent the selector.

Thank you.

Hey Pete,

I wondered if you had any information on  the song you played today (6/29)
at 5:10pm. I assume that it was the first or second song played on your show today.
The lyrics were in Italian I guess, a male vocalist, and it repeated the words "cambio" a few times.
(Hint:) the song immediately following began with the lyrics  " Thankyou for the flowers..."

I would really appreciate if you could tell me the name of the song and/or artist.

Most of all, thankyou so much for playing such fabulously wonderful and different music.
I always look forward to your show.

until i was flipping through the stations on saturday afternoon when i came
across your station and heard "the maxwell implosion." I'll be picking up my
copy tomorrow but if i did hear correctly this group is performing in the
metro area. I can't find a listing of them anywhere. Will they be playing the
metro area? I would appreciate your help with this matter.
Thank you.

Continue playing the music that stops people from changing that station. 

Hi Peter:

Really enjoyed the Benny Goodman stuff last week.  I bought the Tom Waits new CDs and am listening to those.
They are not as tuneful as his last few releases.  I may have to give them a few listens.
Actually I only listened to Blood Money, maybe Alice is completely different.
I am looking for that type of music for a project I'm doing and it was very inspirational to the look of the edited film segment I want to do...

Hope you are well.
Keep up those good tunes.

Peter,

I always enjoy your program and the wide variety of music that you play.
I particularly enjoyed last Saturday's program on NY theater.

There's one current off-Broadway musical I wished you had covered in your program: "The Last 5 Years",
which has the best new score
I've heard in a long time.  A demo of the composer Jason Robert Brown singing one of the shows songs is on the music page of the shows website (www.lastfiveyears.com), and the original cast album is coming out on April 16th.
I highly recommend the show, which is almost continuous music.
The gorgeous arrangements are played by a great six-piece band that is heavy on strings
(guitar, violin, cello, bass) and that is led by the composer on piano.

(I have no connection with the show, other than as a fan!)

Peter...

You RULE!
No question about it (now don't get a swelled head):
the best picks anywhere, the most creative, eclectic mixes and...
the nicest, kewlest person behind it all.

I cannot tell you how many people I have turned on to your show
who agree and are so grateful to have discovered it...
and the opportunity to be exposed to music they will never hear on the rest of the bland, banal airwaves...

We love you!
We need you!

Junk Food by Patty Larkin (in a Four Bitchin' Babes album)
Butter by Megan McDonough
Potato by Cheryl Wheeler
Toast by The Q-Tips (this is a very obscure song by an obscure band, an

them.  I heard it in high school, long, long ago)

What a fun project (and a great time waster).

(And, you do a great job laying out the case for supporting WBAI/Pacifica).
I've been listening to Sat's show today, on tape- I still have trouble getting used to you being on Saturdays/afternoons,
but at least I remembered to get the VCR humming this week.
 I don't know how long this marathon will last, but if you're still pitching next Saturday, I have a song to offer.
"We Need Some Money" a mid 80's Go Go song by Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers.
It's a soulful,rhythmic, call & response song that stands on it's own, but would be perfect during fund raising...

Peter, this is great news for a loyal fan in California. Mondays at 7:00 AM
was too early! Hey by the way I was listening to a tape of the Lennon
tribute you put together after his death. What a great piece. It has really
held up well. You know this December will be the 20th anniversary of his
death. I made a CD of the show in case you want  a copy.

YOU ARE THE BEST.
You are a musicologist par excellance.
I'm glad you have moved to Saturdays.
Much more appropriate spot for your show.
Keep up the great programming.

Hello Peter -

I loved your show yesterday. It accompanied me while I did my housework.
You played a song in the first set that you later referred to as "hypnotic."
I wonder if you could tell me which artist/song that was?
It was, I believe, a love song? It may have been Nicola Conte, The Avalanches or E'MIJ?

Thanks,

Elizabeth 

Dear Peter,

Just another listener/fan,
letting you know how wonderful it is
to have you back on the air!
Peace,

Judy

Caught some of the show today.
Had fun with the song from "Ghost/Baliwood".
Keep up the great work!

Live well, age well, be well,

   Hi...my name is Jennifer and this was the first time I ever heard your show on WBAI.
I really enjoyed it! I'll be tuning in every week from now on!
   Also, I missed the website addresses for your show and for the radio station.
I would love to read more about your show and the station.
I especially liked hearing the songs from the Sun Tribute CD and McCartney's latest,
as well as the Pete Townshend, of course.
Thanks for reading this, and for all the great music you provide!

I seem to have lost touch with the most important radio waves on FM.
 I've tuned into your Monday show now 5 years...10
to 12 on Monday's, without fail, which set  my week up  'on the good foot'.
You see I record your shows so I can listen during the week at work and
home. Now with this shuffling at the station I hope you can shed some light
on your future schedule, if you even know? I miss "All Mixed Up"...your show
plays an important role in many of our daily lives...you're that soothing
musical 'note' we enjoy listening to...

Hope all is well home, and please drop a line when you have a second to
spare...

A faithful listener...

Hi Peter,
 We didn't get a chance to talk much after your program, but I
wanted to say that I and my guests thoroughly enjoyed it.
The whole scene
reminded me of the old Free Music Store days in the Church at 62nd St...

 Thanks for all that you do.  In touch soon.
respectfully,
Chuck Rosina

Dear Peter,
It was really a lovely experience at the Museum yesterday, and I thank you so
much for including me.  It was great to be able to put a face with your oh so
soothing voice.
We meant to get back for the last group, but a screening room swallowed us up.
Truly, the Howard Fishman Group did the trick...
Fondly,
Antonia Polizzi 

Peter-

Have to say the last two shows of yours are remarkable
collages of sounds, ideas, concepts. Your layering of
all this and more has really been quite something for
me to listen to. I really believe, as an artist, most
of our ongoing work is practice for the BIG ones-
the masterpieces.

Since the bombings, your voice and orchestration for
radio, have been some of the greatest and most
meaningful witnessing of the tragedies that have come
to us through media.

thanks so much-
M'liz

Dearest Sweet Peter,

We figured out how to tape your show from the internet!!!
Thanks for all of your support of our music.

What an excellent show. Great music, your great voice. Such nice things
you said too about our new album "Comfort for the Traveler" and our
promo diary/booklet.

We just don't have shows like yours in Chicago...it's too bad.

Talk to you soon and later,
JinJa & Grant, aka Utah Carol

I had NO idea he said that! I've played it for people and they weren't
aware of that either.

That said, I have two questions.

1. When/where did he give this speech?
2. Who does the background music that you put behind that
speech?

Thanx,

Hi Peter,

I haven't heard you in a while... great show. I always want a tape of it...
I'm interested in a copy of the "Say It Loud..." music you talked about today
(10/13/01)...I hope I am one of the 10!
Keep on playing...
Thanks...Jasmine 

Pete,
Your show today was great...and especially Dirty Water, that song with
the reverb/vibrato/twangy guitar by that husband/wife or brother/sister
duo, Judy and ? ?.
The last hour of your second war and peace mix was masterful...it's
really powerful to have all of the chauvinistic American war/"defense"/foreign
policy justifications of the last fifty years trotted out seriatim.
Needless to say, I enjoyed the show today.
Paul

 Been listening to "AMU" since the late '70's, early '80's
when I was driving a truck on Saturday afternoons.
Lost touch when you moved to Mondays but was
 able to get the 20th Century Shortcuts during a BAI pledge drive.
 I'm a big fan of your work. I am a video editor by profession and am blown
 away by your timing and by your technical skills.
 I would like to order "Shortcuts 25th Anniversary Collection, 1972-1997"...
 Thanks,
Ken Blais

Hi, I've heard a variety of your "shortcuts" on WPKN in Bridgeport, CT.
( I called them and they sent me this site, which is very cool)
They are very innovative and moving.
