HINT:

I said we’re going back to basics, this week on Turntable For One.

We’ll be crying and moaning and wailing,

’cause that’s my idea of fun!

PLAYLIST FOR “ANTHROPOMORPHISM” (10.13.12)

13 Oct

This week, as another in a series of uncalled for public services, I tried to warn you about a musical danger which is as rampant as it is clever – Anthropomorphism in the Great American Songbook. Don’t try to thank me — just doing my job. Okay, I changed my mind. Go ahead, try to thank me.

Here’s the playlist of the examples I chose.

Talk to you next week.

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?

PLAYLIST FOR “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” (9.15.12)

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. )

Next Wednesday, a new clue for next week’s show. 

Talk to you next week.
