Peter:

Good show this morning (as always). "America Is Waiting" was a great choice for the times.
Three questions: What was that urban jazz piece you played early on?
Also, any clue on how to obtain the Moby B-Sides without having to dig up the pricey 2000 "Play/Play" set?
(I already have "Play"--the marketing of the B-Sides was obnoxious.)
Finally, what was that Eno et al ambient collection you mentioned toward the show's end?
Thanks!

Hiya!

Love your page! I have an intense interest in American food songs from
the ragtime era. My significant other is a ragtime pianist and also a
collector of sheet music, piano rolls and records of that era.

We have compiled a CD of "food rags," including such wonderful titles as
"Mo'lasses," "Chicken Pranks," "Good Gravy," "Cheese and Crackers," and
"More Candy," etc.

You might like to visit our page at MP3.com:

To see a complete list of contents of this CD, here's the link:

<http://chooser.mp3.com/cgi-bin/cd_chooser/cd_chooser.cgi?cd_id=26554&srclk=ll>

We have also scanned and completely restored the covers of 13 amazing
pieces of sheet music from the ragtime era featuring dancing and
otherwise interesting food. Please let me know if you're interested in
more information.

Kindest RAGards,

Hey, Peter --

Heather Eatman here ... Long time, no speak! How's it going?

I've got some good stuff going on: I signed a new record deal a few
weeks ago with Eminent Records, an indie out of Nashville, and am
working on a new record with producer, Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo,
Sleater-Kinney, Freedy Johnston). The record is scheduled to come out in
April, 2001 ... I'm really excited about it!

Meanwhile, a friend of mine said he heard something that led him to
believe that I might be on a live WBAI compilation CD. I don't know if
there's any truth to this rumor, but. if so, I'd love to get a copy. So
let me know!

Hope you're well!
Take care,
Heather

Hi, I must say that I was very impressed by your website on food songs.
I was looking for a particular song about bananas that I could not find,
but thought that I'd ask you just in case you could tell me where else to look or something.
The song that I want is sung in Italian and goes somewhat like this:

   "L'unica frutta della mond, e la banana, e la banana, l'unica frutta della mond e la banana dell'amor"

Anyways, if you know of it, or know of somewhere I might find it, please tell me.
I was in Italy this summer and am dying to let my friends listen to the song.

Thanks...

i've got a band coming to nyc on oct. 23 - tipsy. have you heard of them?
they are on asphodel records. they are a modern retro-lounge type band.
influenced by all the old 50s-60s greats and way ahead of most of the
modern pretenders. if you're not familiar with tipsy i'd be happy to send
you a copy of their last album, which, by the way, was a huge success.

they're playing nyc for the c.m.j. convention. i would love for dave (the
mastermind of tipsy) to come on your show and preview some tracks from
their forthcoming album, due in early 2001. you could really get the jump
on things!

let me know if you are interested or if you would like a press kit, c.d.,

Great show today, 9/29.  When South America calls, I always answer, too.
That was a well-deserved mention in the Voice.  I saw it over the weekend.
But, what happened to Delphine?  I wasn't able to listen for a couple of

Well, it's great to have you on more than once a week, but I'd be interested

I was first aware of Shortcuts here in CT from the WPKN broadcasts they
carried and until recently, was not online or hip to the fact you came
from WBAI. Your editing is intricate and incisive and in the best
creative sense, an outlet to telling the Truth when slant and spin

Dear Peter/Folks-at-All-Mixed-Up:

Hi! I am such a big fan of yours and have been for a lot of years.
I appreciate your show colossally and all the work that goes into it.
I think I last called you after the Tom Waits concert in NYC
to tell you I met Lou Reed there...

Anyway, I have an urgent question for you. I am getting married in December in NYC
and we are looking desperately for a ZYDECO band to play. Do you know
of any that are locally-based or sort of local? They don't have to be a
'wedding band' in fact I'd prefer if they weren't, and they don't have to
play any standards whatsoever. Just grindy, happy Zydeco.

We would also be open to a band that was very funky/groovy/dancy
if you know any that fit that bill.
Zydeco is our first choice but we will also consider any funky lineup...

Thanks-

Jaymie + Jiro

Dear Mr. Bochan...
I want to thank you once again for your outstanding show.
I moved to New York from Chicago twelve years ago
with very high expectations for New York radio.  Considering all the
fantastic music that has come out of here, I had visions of a
transcendent experience along the lines of the girl whose "life was
saved by rock'n'roll" in the Velvet Underground song.  Needless to say,
I was sorely disappointed by the limited playlists of all the major
stations.  But four years ago I discovered WBAI, and I must say you and
Delphine Blue have restored my faith in New York Radio.

Thanks again,

but we plan to expand it shortly.  By the way your website is very cool.
Anyway, my wife and I had a rare opportunity to sleep late on Monday,
and we set the alarm to All Mixed Up.  We were kind of still half asleep
when the show started, but when I finally opened my eyes, I noticed my
wife who is a voracious sleeper and a tough audience still had her eyes
closed, but she had a big smile on her face.  I'm not sure if it was the

Dear Peter,
    I'll try to keep this brief. I'm sure you get tons of email!!!
    I am a long-term listener/fan of you BAI Show...it's been like a trusted friend
getting me through the years of tough times. I did a 3 year stint (sentence?!)
as a delivery driver in North Jersey, and
I looked forward to your shows on Monday mornings --
My delivery van was my home and sanctuary. I was so into radio that I used to
leave a portable tape player on when I left the van so
as not to miss anything. I can't say enough about the
quality and depth of your program over the years. I
recently uncovered some old cassette mixes that I did
years ago,and I was really impressed with the impact
of mixing songs and words. It is definitely an
artform,and you raise it to it's highest level.
    I just wanted to first THANK YOU for your
contributions to my own personal soundtrack over the years!
Rock on! ...please accept this
email as a heartfelt thank you to you. I wish you well
going forward at BAI and elsewhere.
For me, it really is about the heart .... you've got that and it
certainly comes through in your shows. Bottom line,I
think, is you have the love and fascination with the
music that I feel within myself. I definitely fell in
love with sound at an early age.... that's what I
hear and relate to in you.

Mr. Bochan,
    I've been searching for "A Shortcut Through L.A." for several years...since 1992, to be exact,
when it was reviewed in Dave Marsh's newsletter, "Rock and Rap Confidential".
I'm not certain if it was a separate CD commemorating the L.A. riots,
or a single track on the "Shortcut Through 1992" CD.
If it's a separate disc, and still available, I would love to buy it
Could you tell me how much it costs, and how I can pay for it?

Hi Peter,

We met in New Orleans at the community radio conference and you gave me a
cd of 'through the 20th century.'

I would like to run it on my Remarkable Radio spot...
I would like to run it on the 21 of this month, so
if you could get back to me really soon, I would appreciate it.
Also, any background material for a promo would be great.

Thanks,

Peter,

I am a HUGE Meat Puppets fan, and there is a particular item in their
discography -Radio Meat!- that I have been on the lookout for, to no avail.
I know it was released as a promo cassette on London records, but I haven't
been able to track one down.  I was wondering if you offer it in some form.
I found your site via a search, and being from Massachusetts, I know hardly
anything about your show or how (or if) you offer copies of past shows.
Assuming you can provide copies of this particular show by the Meat Puppets,
I was wondering what format (cassette, CD) you can offer it in, and how much
you would charge.  A cassette copy would certainly be cool enough, but if
you could burn it to a CD-R, I could provide the CD-R to save on the cost.
This is all just speculation here, so I would greatly appreciate it if you
could get back to me and tell me how things work.  One last thing -maybe you
could tell me how long the show runs -whenever I saw the cassette, side 1
had the Meat Puppets spinning records, and side 2 had them playing live on
the air, and there were a lot of songs played.  Also, maybe a comment on
overall sound quality.  Thanks a lot for staying with me here, and I
genuinely appreciate your response.

your shows and put a song from that show on a mix I was making.  I just came
across it again while going through my old tapes.  The only problem is I have
no idea who does the song, nor do I know the exact name.  The song is in sort
of a reggae style.  And the chorus goes:
"Talking 'bout the big monkey man..
He's not lying, he's not lying (come on baby)
Talking 'bout the big monkey man"

If you could help me with the artist and title of the song it would be much
appreciated.

 "A Shortcut through the 20th Century"

Peter,
in a way, the two styles are pretty close, and yet, on closer inspection
(listening to the "20th Century" twice), the production on the last hour is
subtly different. It is more concise (it would seem to HAVE to be!), with
more of a flow. I like the old style, but those shows didn't have the sense
of importance that I felt from the last one. I was truly, honestly moved. The
music beds were just right, as well as the songs from the early part of the
Century. Not to brag, but I'm an American History major, and also have an ear
for voices. I even know who the announcer is, although his last name escapes
me (Bill ??, from WNEW-AM). I also thought your mix of regular voices really
provided perspective. Was one of the voices your mom, talking about going to
the dance?

In a nutshell, I thought your production was a feast for my ears, as well as
my mind.
And I'm not just blowin' smoke...

hope this gave you a p.o.v., however, in my case, it's like preaching to the
choir.

So, Peter, Congratulations!

Giant work, my man.  I listened all week to 'BAI from 9p on to catch
your work.  Wonderful!  And I know you were under the gun with scant
resources for those early years.  AND with, I assume, an added pressure
from Democracy Now! for a version of your show to air before you could
air it or, at least, air it in sequence with the first ten hours.  That
would have given you another 10 hours or so to work on that summary
episode...  Anyway, I heard it all, and thank you once more.

There's just one little thing...

Will there be a Shortcut Through 1999?

I know 'BAI and Pacifica are looking for premium versions of at least
your eleventh hour for next month.  Since you like to tweak these
things, I assume you will be working on that, at least, for them.

In all your spare time, however, (!), I was wondering whether you might
be working on a 1999 or perhaps already had one in your back pocket.

If so, or if you ever think to fashion one, please let me know.  I am,
as ever, always in the market for your shortcuts and would like to add
such an one to my ninties collection.

Keep pluggin' and, Thanks.

 But seriously, you played one song that i really liked--i think it's
called "the senator's daughter", and i was wondering who the artist is
so i can run out and purchase all of their albums and study the words
and lyrics until i can lip sync flawlessly to all of their songs.  it
would make my drive time so much more enjoyable.  please update your

Hi Peter,

   1) How do I go about ordering some of your Shortcuts on CD, and

    2) Do you know if there is a way I can record your show from the

Peter,
first, let me reiterate: the first installmentwas "aces". I've been a
listener/fan of your show for longer than I can remember. am looking forward
to the next 9 hours.

oh yeah, we sorta know each other. I'm Frank O'Toole, and have been on the
air, at WFMU, for over 20 years. I don't expect that you'd remember, but we
played softball against each other, a number of times, in the early 80's. I
last spoke with you, by phone, on the 30th anniversary of JFK's death. You
played "Warmth of the Sun", and I was amazed that you were aware of the
song's connection to the event.

regardless, I love your work.

Dear Peter,

My name is Elaine, and we have been in touch a few times over the past number
of years, but usually over the phone...  Me and Scott Harris used to call and
pester you for a copy of the year end "Short Cut" and we have stirred up alot
of enthusiasm and expectation again  this year...

So, the point is, all of us would be really excited to know if you will be
able to make arrangements with us (me?) to air the program on our air waves
over the New Year.  I know you are probably very busy working on it,
polishing it to the beautiful and lustrous thing it is meant to be, but if
you could email back to me and let me know what I can do to make this happen
for all the loyal short cuts fans, I would appreciate it soooo much...

Thanks, Peter,

Dear Peter,

I'm sorry I haven't got your phone number, cos I heard some sound that's
sensational, and which you ought to get on the 11-noon hour on AMU.
Tuesday night I heard Joe Gallant's Illuminati play at the Wetlands.
I wish you could've been there.
This is the most exciting new sound I've heard in such a long time ~ years!

....Peter I hope you'll consider having Joe and his group up to play a whole
hour as soon as you can (like next Monday!).  They're that good.  The
sound's like a sort of jazz blues fusion.  The music is deeply sexual,
really hot.  I think Gallant's put together a real major achievement.  I
hope you'll have Illuminati up to play live for an hour.  I think this
spaceship's gonna take off in a big way.  He's also got this fantastic
singer who's name I think is Theresea Wilson, and her voice and the
group are perfecto supreme.

Give me a call and lemme talk to you about it?  It's a big group, 17
players, but I know you could easily put it together; plus Joe's got
some techie assistants of his own.  Best sound I've heard in ages,
Peter.  Now you got to do your magic and get it out to the northeast!  I
hope you do, you should...
And a question::::::::::
Is it correct to say that the proper title this new year's eve is,
"A Shortcut through the 20th Century" by Peter Bochan....

How about getting NRBQ up on the show? They must be out promoting their great new album.

I write software and am putting together a shareware CD with Macromedia Director to introduce my product. Director allows you to mix audio and visuals to make a really nice package. BTW, I am using their 30 day trial version www.macromedia.com. I want to mix in some audio that I want to sample. Do I have to ask the artists if I can use their music? I will probably be making around 3000 CDs.

11:30 or 11:35 or so... it was muzak back around 1970 or perhaps even
earlier.... an organ playing the melody.... what else can I tell you?  I

Hi Peter:

I don't if it is possible, however, when I was listening to the program on
August 30th, as you know it was a collection of music from the 1900s and up,
well I would like to know the name of one of those songs.  It seemed to be an
instrumental with the featured instrument seeming to be an organ.  The song,
I think, was the second song after the Twin Peaks theme-unfortunately, I
can't think of any other information to give you to help you tell me the
name.  If it's at all possible for you to figure out the song without going
through a lot of trouble, I would really appreciate it.

By the way and as usual that was a fantastic program-I heard so many songs
and could have heard some more, but loved it nevertheless.  Just to hear
Puttin' On the Ritz was enough for me.  Keep up the great work.

Peter,

I've just listened to your show (20th Century Master Blend) the way most
people probably listen to it, after already being at work for a couple of
hours, much more awake than I normally am when tuning in.  But, I don't think
that's why I enjoyed it so much.

I think it's because you are in-f**king-credible.

It's as if you've made melon balls from only the juiciest centers of hundreds
of melons.  Angelo Badalamenti, Al Jarreau, PM Dawn, Echo, Follow Your Bliss
(one of my faves), the best recording of Satin Doll ever, and I believe I
even heard Trini Lopez and the Isley Brothers(?).  I've got to have a tape of
this.  In fact, I've got to have a copy for my sister, who will squeal with
delight from start to finish (she's a squealer).

After 2 hours of this excruciating clip-tease, I'm left with blue balls.

Keep it up.  You've kept mine up.

Stop me before I innuendo again,

in studio. This was from 10:30 a.m.-11 a.m. and was primarily one guy
and his guitar  He had one song, the first I heard, around 10:30, where
he was sort of telling a story and I think the chorus had the words in

I'm new at this so please forgive any weirdness. The song was on the top
fifty I think. It was like "Windmills of your Mind" in that it is phases of
thought and mentions water or rain and the phrase "tick-tock.".. in it . It
was also sung by Frank Sinatra. It is not Aqua de  Beber. Any way of finding
this?

Hello there! I really like your show, and would like to know why we are
not allowed the pleasure of listening to YOU two mornings (or more!) a
week, instead of that too-chatty (blonde?) DJ who's on Thursdays and
Fridays...  (ok, I got that off my chest.)

You operate at a higher level, in every way. Thank you Peter Bochan, for
playing sounds that I could never have imagined!

To: mixedup@pipeline.com

Hi Peter.  I was just looking at your web site.  (I want one like it.)
Anyway, we were wondering if you got your hands on the Mummery disc - LP
title:"Recordio," Howling Giraffe Records.  I noticed you're playing quite a
lot of Fountains Of Wayne, and some other fun pop bands... So, logically you
should love Mummery. . .

We'd like some love from WBAI, Peter.  :)

Mr. Bochan,
I have just moved to Houston from NYC in order to design spaceships for
NASA. As I have been listening to you for the last 12 years or so, through
WPKN and WBAI, I trust that you will continue to follow me around. I hope so
because, at least on first glance, Houston has no great radio stations. Is
All Mixed Up streamed live on the internet anywhere?

Dear Peter,
I really enjoy your show and I was confronted with a challenge.  Hopefully,
you can help...  Do you know who the artist is that is featured in the
Lincoln car adverts?  The song is "Home on the Range".  Please inform me if
you do know.  I really appreciate your time.  Thank you.

Dear Peter,
    Read your Elvis List today; I'm speechless!  I know many of them, but am
curious about a dozen or so.  I must have "Angel" by the Eurythmics, but I'll
check; I never realized it was about Elvis (if I have it).
I like Big Audio Dynamite and have "The Globe" cd, but don't know the song you mention.
I'm curious about Robbie Robertson's "American Roulette."
I like him (and have one cd of his).
I must check out the David Byrne (I like Talking Heads).
     I try to keep the Nixon connection out of consciousness.  I did like
that Elvis defended his manner of dress when Nixon commented on it (with a
remark like "I dress for my business; you dress for yours.")

It's high time I penned a letter of appreciation for your genius, Peter.  I moved here from Chicago a year and a bit ago, and found your show by accident, thereafter, I would schedule visits to my client in Westchester Co. just to have you in the car to myself.  Too many times, I'd want to ring my radio-snob friends back home to let them hear you, but cell service costing what it does, I thought better of it.  Too reasonable, that.  But growing up around decent listener-supported radio (and an occasional good commercial station), my passion is further fueled by your incredible vision (?), and, of course, the bar has been sufficiently raised.

I'll be looking for your playlist for today, 6/28/99, as it prompted me, finally, to applaud you and thank you for hours of appreciation for your wit and creativity.  For all the mediocrity, there is a bright light for me on NY radio.  Truly celestial work.  Thank you thank you thank you!

Always loved Albanians--as spirited and passionate (and sometimes inebriated) as we Lithuanians.

yours,
Alicia

All I can say is hallelujah! Your show came in loud and clear with the exception
of a few "net congestion" hiccups which is par for the course. Only problem is
I'll have to get up at 7:00 every Monday to start a tape but I'll have to admit
it made my day today, thanks! So is there a chance you or WBAI will archive the
shows? By the way you should consider a few more plugs for donations on you show
from your new global audience.

Don't you love Internert Radio, it reminds me of the time I discovered short
wave radio and all the exotic places I could tune in. Have you checked out
Earthtuner.com, they have a neat application and database of streaming stations?
I think there is going to be a whole new wave of web only radio and TV stations,
should be interesting.

Your fan,

Andrew

To: mixedup@pipeline.com

Dear Peter,
    I thought I would finally introduce myself.  I don't listen to the radio,
I confess, but with every visit to my dentist, Marvin... he plays me a
tape of your show, and has finally given me copies of your August, 97 and 98
Elvis shows since he knows I'm the number one Elvis fan in New York City who
is not connected with the music or broadcasting industries (I hasten to add).
 He loves the fact that I can sit there and say, "That's an outtake of "A
Mess of Blues" from 1960."
     I will also tell you that I am a Ph.D. in English, and a
psychotherapist, practicing here in the city, and have every Elvis LP and 45
(except for one, "All Shook Up"), and CD, etc.  I have been thrilled by the
last decade's reissues on BMG and the wonderful restoration that Ernst
Jorgensen has done.
To have discovered "Danny," for instance, from "King Creole," was thrilling.
     I am also a big Leonard Cohen fan and until Marvin played me your show I
had never heard 'Elvis' Rolls Royce,"  which I treasure; I have been hunting
down a copy of that Was(Not Was) CD, "Are You Okay," with no success.  So I
finally thought it was time to introduce myself and to thank you.  I don't
think I have ever had a conversation about Elvis with someone who knows the
music as much as I, though some fan from Brownsville, TX somehow found me
online, so if you would ever like to compare favorite recordings ("Stay Away"
and "Goin Home" from Stay Away Joe are up there, and Elvis and Ann Margret
singing "You're the Boss" must get on to one of your shows), I'd be delighted.
Sincerely,
Stuart Glucksman

Hi Bochan, I found your site by fortunate accident. It looks great. I grew up
in NY listening to WBAI. Been in Memphis for a number of years, Always
listen/support WEVL (We Volunteer- The Volunteer State,etc.) the best
listener-supported station I ever heard (always comparing things to my
formative years listening to WBAI) The comparison is made only for the music
component as very little political, news, or news comment is heard on WEVL.
Is there a way for me to hear your program? Several years ago I heard this
story. There is a wonderful blues show on WEVL called Captain Pete's Blues
Cruise. One night Capt. Pete talked about how he had requests from far away
listeners to hear his show. One such listener (not worried about cost or
convinced of the value) was Stevie Ray Vaughn. Vaughn loved the loved this
blues show so much he would call Memphis on the night of the show and have a
friend place his phone next to the  radio for a few  hours while Vaughn
listened whether he was in Texas or California....Anyway, the reading about
your plans for Klaven and McCourt interviews makes me miss being there and listening.
Someday I'll return.
Thanks for an informative page.

Dear Peter,

'Spose it's time I wrote and told you how very much I appreciate your sharing
yourself and your music every week.  I try my best to be around a radio
Monday mornings, but usually just catch bits and pieces.  Nevertheless, your
sensibliities come through loud and clear and the show  is a special gift
each week.

More and more, the music and arts on BAI are what I tune in for, being a
white girl and all that.  I try to subscribe at a time that makes clear to
the manageement that we share more than politics- we share a culture and
that's what I want to hear on the station.  And you are a very important part
of that.

So, this was my first visit to your web site.  I have very limited computer
capacities and most often, I leave sites before they load etc.  However, your
site was a joy--well organized in lots of quick appearing chunks.  I could
cruise without frustration (how often in life can one say  that?).

So thanks alot and please don't stop.

Warmly,

Chonyi Glassman

Hey Pete
I have listened to you for many years but I think my brother has to be
your biggest fan.  His radio is glued to 99.5 all the time.  He takes
monday off and listens to every minute of your show.  I loved the show
on monday 6/14/99 The cellist was cool, but the randy Newman interview
and the selection of his music you played was the most fascinating time
I have ever spent listening to the radio.  KUDOS to you...
peace out...

Hi Peter,

Very cool page. Liked it. Matthew  left us a lovely voice mail to let us
know WBAI did get our CD and that it's being passed on to you. He said you
sometimes take a chance on new, unknown music and that gives us hope because
we definitely fit that category. Matthew also referred to you as a "pop
maven", which gives us more hope since we do consider ourselves pop. So,
thanks for checking us out. Talk with you soon.

Hi Peter,

Dean Friedman here. You may recall my '77 hit 'Ariel', about a
vegetarian Jewish girl from New Jersey who was "...standing by the
waterfall in Paramus Park, collecting quarters for the FRIENDS OF BAI!"
I'd venture to say it was the first and only TOP 40 single that mentions
a Pacifica radio station in the lyric.

Anyway, I'm writing to say that I have a brand new album coming out
entitled 'Songs for Grownups' (my first in over a decade) and will be
performing a NYC concert on June 12th at the Merkin Concert Hall in NYC
(212-501-3330), to mark its US release...

 All the best.
