HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (10.6.12)

3 Oct

HINT:

If Turntable For One were a movie this week, it would be “To Kvetch A Thief;” if Turntable For One were a musical based on a movie, it would be “Kvetch Me If You Can;” if Turntable For One were a book, it would be “Kvetcher In The Rye;” and if Turntable For One were a fishing show (or a Jets receiver), it would be “Kvetch and Release.” But Turntable For One is an hour of jazz vocals. So what will I be playing this Saturday night?

16 Sep

Check your ego and superego at the door; this week’s show was all about the id — you mean, Kim Kardashian’s new book, The 7 Habits of Highly Over-rated People?  No, it’s about a dozen musical answers to the eternal question, “What do you want?” (This playlist has been updated because I made changes during the show. )
