Listener comments!
	2:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The sun is shining and I have a cup of tea - all is good with the world! Hello, my dear Modernists :-)
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go! :-)
	3:00pm Domenic: The robot DJ is gone! Time to come out Munchkin Modarnists!
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:00 Hooray! Hello, lovely Dom! :-) There's no place like home ... there's no place like home ... There's no place like home ;-)
	3:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Today's Sheena Robot DJ will be played by the Tinman ;-)
	3:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also, Happy Birthday to Brian Eno! <3
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:00 How are you doing today, my lovely? :-)
	3:02pm David (in London): Is this a grooving area? Can I come in and groove? Evening GG and assembled Mod Squad.
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:02 This is ALWAYS a grooving area ;-) Hello, dear David! :-)
	3:03pm Domenic: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:02 OK, just working...
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Right - I am officially retiring "Modernists" in favour of "Mod Squad" :-)
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:03 I'll put a cardboard cutout of you in place and you can sneak out for a quick drink with us instead :-)
	3:04pm David (in London): Excellent, thanks. Hey Domenic.
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:04 Complete with fabulous shag carpeting :-)
	3:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I wasn't sure if this music would work with the text ... and then I realised that it works perfectly :-)
	3:06pm SPECIAL K: Awesome. Just re-watched the 1939 Oz. TCM said the musical was based on the book. I was going to read it. Thanks!
	3:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I loooooove this period of Eno's career. Such glorious music <3
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ SPECIAL K @3:06 Hello, my lovely!! And ... in the book the shoes are silver BUT because MGM wanted to show off their technicolour skills they changed them to red ;-)
	3:08pm Nick K: I love you Georgie
	3:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Years ago, I saw the most brilliant card in a shop in Brighton. Dorothy was doing a catwalk in her iconic outfit, and two queens in the front row were commenting "Red shoes ... with gingham? Bitch, PLEASE!" Lol
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Nick K @3:08 Hello, lovely! :-) Sending YOU love, too <3
	3:09pm Nick K: Sorry for misspelling
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Nick K @3:09 Oh, I wouldn't worry - I've been called Gregory Girl in the past ;-)
	3:10pm David (in London): ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:09 Hey there Gory Girl.
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:10 LOL!!! Now THAT one is new! :-)
	3:11pm David (in London): ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:07 Red shoes are the bomb. See also, err, The Red Shoes!
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:11 I love that movie - it's bonkers and beautiful :-)
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Bit like me ;-) Lol
	3:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The last time I saw "The Red Shoes" was on a Christmas Eve after I'd finished prepping all the veg for the next day. Wonderful afternoon :-)
	3:13pm Domenic: I recently picked up Meco's "The Wizard of Oz" from 1978. Electro-Disco. Apparently it was very popular! Listed are musicians from the Milky Way AND Cormar galaxy. www.discogs.com...
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Gosh, this music is lovely <3
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:13 Disco, you say? That's on my list then! ;-)
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:13 German disco as well!
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There have been many occasions when I've lost my footing and landed flat on the floor. LOL
	3:17pm WM: One interpretation is that WO is an allegory about the gold standard. Maintaining the gold standard was a controversial issue in late 19th Century American politics. “Thou shalt not crucify mankind on a cross of gold” was the cry of Democratic Presidential candidate William Jennings Bryant. One scheme was to expand the money supply by monetizing silver. Thus, the yellow brick road is the gold standard; Dorothy’s silver slipper (they were changed to ruby in the film) is monetizing silver; the Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryant; the Emerald City is (of course) money; the Wicked Witch of the East is New York bankers, etc. Several writers have elaborated this theory. See “Political interpretations of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz” on Wikipedia. Also: https://www.familyjewelers.com/blog/2022/Oct/27/wizard-oz-story-about-dangers-gold-standard/
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've reached that point in the year when the sun sets later and higher, and hits the windows opposite at a precise angle so it shines right into my eyes in the middle of this show. Lol
	3:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:17 WOAH!!! I did not know this! Thank you for sharing the link - I will definitely read that after the show <3 What a fascinating insight <3 How are you, my lovely? :-)
	3:18pm Herb: Hello
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Herb @3:18 HERB!!! Hello, my lovely! :-) How are you this fine day? <3
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:17 The WoO is one of my daughter's favourite movies - I'm going to send her this link, too :-)
	3:21pm Herb: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:19 Good - killing time at work with HWM!
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Herb @3:21 I shall sneak you some sandwiches then ;-)
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Herb @3:21 It was lovely to see you on the Zoom call, by the way :-) I always have so much fun on those :-)
	3:22pm Feldy: Hello, Georgy!
	3:22pm Domenic: My phone knows what I'm listening too... a post came up on Facebook just now...."Best Brian Eco Songs 20 essential tracks"...
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @3:22 Hello, dear and lovely Adam! :-) <3
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:22 Naughty phone spying on you! Lol
	3:23pm David (in London): ↳ Feldy @3:22 Hey Adam.
	3:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have to say that even the munchkins would tower over me ;-)
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It interests me that Glinda in the book is an older lady. Perhaps MGM wanted a more glamorous Good Witch?
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Not that older ladies can't be glamorous, mind you :-)
	3:29pm David (in London): Joan Collins was just about to give you a hard stare just then..!
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I also HIGHLY recommend Todrick Hall's "Straight Outta Oz" album which is truly stunning <3
	3:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:29 I would never ever cross Our Joan! Lol
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Best bookmark ever ;-) m.media-amazon.com...
	3:32pm Mr Fab: GG! haven't been able to comment but am on lunch break now. OH how I used to fill my earholes with hours of Eno back in the daze. Great to hear these bits again, no one ever plays this side of Eno on the radio much.
	3:33pm WM: Another interpretation of WoO is John Boorman’s nutty movie Zardoz (1974). It’s a very odd science fiction / fantasy dystopia in which it turns out that the new god is based on Wizard of Oz (zard - oz).
	3:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:32 Hello, my lovely!! I haven't listened to Eno in ages and I regret that because the music is just SO good :-)
	3:33pm SUPER SPECIAL K: WOW! Silver. That would have been weird even back then.
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:33 Wait wait wait ... Why have I never realised that before?? That is one awful yet fab movie, tho. Lol
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ SUPER SPECIAL K @3:33 I mean, I wouldn't say no to silver glitter shoes :-)
	3:34pm David (in London): Plus Sean Connery with ponytail and red mankini. Once you see that, you can't unsee it.
	3:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:34 It is genuinely burned into my retinas for all eternity ;-)
	3:36pm Nick K: I’d like to eat some mushroom caps with you and just talk about life Georgy
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You're not in Kansas any more! Ba da boom ;-)
	3:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Nick K @3:36 Now THERE'S an invitation! :-)
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Unfamiliar Winds (Leeks Hills)" by "Brian Eno" I think all of us of a certain age have experienced "unfamiliar winds" from time to time. Lol
	3:38pm Nick K: Whenever you want 😉
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Nick K @3:38 :-)
	3:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:33 radio DJs play his "Baby's On Fire"/David Byrne/etc rockin stuff, which is of course, utter genius as well, but you don't hear his ambient music very often - maybe considered too low-key for radio.
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:38 I once fell asleep and had a fabulous nap whilst listening to "Another Green World". Lovely stuff :-)
	3:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is meant to be complimentary rather than derogatory but this is perfect bath time music. With a nice glass of wine and some candles. Utter bliss <3
	3:40pm David (in London): ↳ Mr Fab @3:38 Jeremiah might have played it on his amazing Sunrise Lamentations show?
	3:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @3:38 Oh, heck yeah! i keep an ever-growing playlist of "Another Green World"-ish type stuff. Ambient on the more pop/song side.
	3:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:40 I would be most interested in a playlist of that :-)
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The City of Emeralds - NOT "Elizabeth Duke" for my UK listeners ;-)
	3:43pm WM: “One awful yet fab movie” - great description of Zardoz. Boorman’s earlier movie Deliverance was a big success, so he got a free hand to write and direct his next film as he pleased. Sean Connery turned down lots of money to continue as James Bond to star in Z. It’s a nutty vanity project but it does have great cinematography by Geoffery Unsworth (who shot Kubrick’s 2001) and Charlotte Rampling is very beautiful.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:43 He turned down Bond money for this?? I bet he regretted that ;-)
	3:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The sun is almost finished setting outside and there's a lovely pink hue to the outskirts of the sky, This music goes with that beautifully :-)
	3:47pm Feldy: ↳ David (in London) @3:23 Hi David!
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Above Chiangmai" by "Brian Eno" Ah. Thailand. I was wondering about that :-)
	3:51pm WM: Yes! The story is that he afraid of being type cast. Things worked out well for him in the end. Pauline Kael wrote a interesting and funny review of Zardoz in her book Reeling. “Sean Connery in a loincloth as the only virile man in an elitist commune of the future, dominated by hyper-intellectual immoral women.”
	3:52pm Mr Fab: the Winkies = Wizard of Oz characters the Winkies = Eno's live backing band Coincidence?!?
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:51 I mean, Sean Connery in a loin cloth is about as Bond as it gets strangely enough ;-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track to go! Next week's Modernists .... Bernie Taupin! :-) And this Friday's Flange is Bill Bruford's birthday so expect Yes and King Crimson in abundance :-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:52 What? I love it when that happens! :-)
	3:54pm WM: “ZARDOZ is a glittering cultural trash pile, and probably the most gloriously fatuous movie since THE OSCAR"
	3:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:54 Sheena needs a show called The Glittering Cultural Trash Pile :-)
	3:56pm Domenic: I just placed a library reserve for Zardoz. Massachusetts has three! thanks all!
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:56 Excellent news! :-)
	3:57pm WM: Good idea. Thanks for another great show.
	3:57pm David (in London): Thanks GG,
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:57 You're most welcome, my lovely! <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:57 Thank you, dear David! <3
	3:58pm Mr Fab: Dennis Hopper also had free reign after the smash success of "easy Rider," so he made the "The Last Movie," perhaps as self-indulgent and wonderfully bonkers as "Zardoz."
	3:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Another Green World" by "Brian Eno" "Arena", we knew you well <3
	3:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:58 I still will never get that time back. God, that movie .....!
	4:00pm WM: @Mr. Fab: be careful what you wish you might get it
	4:00pm Feldy: Thanks, GG!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that, as they say, is that! See you all on Friday! :-)
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @4:00 Thank you, dear Adam! <3
	4:01pm Mr Fab: this was sooo nice, thanks much GG.

May 15, 2024: Hi-Waisted Modernists #276 - Lions & Tigers & Bears

On today's Hi-Waisted Modernists with DJ GeorgyGirl, The Blue-Haired Hippie, I'm trying a little something different. It is the birthday of L. Frank Baum, so I'll be reading from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" ... AND it's Brian Eno's birthday so the music comes from a selection of his ambient pieces ranging from "Music For Films" through to "Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks". We're off to see a very chilled wizard.

	3:43pm WM: “One awful yet fab movie” - great description of Zardoz. Boorman’s earlier movie Deliverance was a big success, so he got a free hand to write and direct his next film as he pleased. Sean Connery turned down lots of money to continue as James Bond to star in Z. It’s a nutty vanity project but it does have great cinematography by Geoffery Unsworth (who shot Kubrick’s 2001) and Charlotte Rampling is very beautiful.
	3:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:43 He turned down Bond money for this?? I bet he regretted that ;-)
	3:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The sun is almost finished setting outside and there's a lovely pink hue to the outskirts of the sky, This music goes with that beautifully :-)
	3:47pm Feldy: ↳ David (in London) @3:23 Hi David!
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Above Chiangmai" by "Brian Eno" Ah. Thailand. I was wondering about that :-)
	3:51pm WM: Yes! The story is that he afraid of being type cast. Things worked out well for him in the end. Pauline Kael wrote a interesting and funny review of Zardoz in her book Reeling. “Sean Connery in a loincloth as the only virile man in an elitist commune of the future, dominated by hyper-intellectual immoral women.”
	3:52pm Mr Fab: the Winkies = Wizard of Oz characters the Winkies = Eno's live backing band Coincidence?!?
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:51 I mean, Sean Connery in a loin cloth is about as Bond as it gets strangely enough ;-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track to go! Next week's Modernists .... Bernie Taupin! :-) And this Friday's Flange is Bill Bruford's birthday so expect Yes and King Crimson in abundance :-)
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:52 What? I love it when that happens! :-)
	3:54pm WM: “ZARDOZ is a glittering cultural trash pile, and probably the most gloriously fatuous movie since THE OSCAR"
	3:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:54 Sheena needs a show called The Glittering Cultural Trash Pile :-)
	3:56pm Domenic: I just placed a library reserve for Zardoz. Massachusetts has three! thanks all!
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Domenic @3:56 Excellent news! :-)
	3:57pm WM: Good idea. Thanks for another great show.
	3:57pm David (in London): Thanks GG,
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WM @3:57 You're most welcome, my lovely! <3
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David (in London) @3:57 Thank you, dear David! <3
	3:58pm Mr Fab: Dennis Hopper also had free reign after the smash success of "easy Rider," so he made the "The Last Movie," perhaps as self-indulgent and wonderfully bonkers as "Zardoz."
	3:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Another Green World" by "Brian Eno" "Arena", we knew you well <3
	3:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @3:58 I still will never get that time back. God, that movie .....!
	4:00pm WM: @Mr. Fab: be careful what you wish you might get it
	4:00pm Feldy: Thanks, GG!
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that, as they say, is that! See you all on Friday! :-)
	4:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Feldy @4:00 Thank you, dear Adam! <3
	4:01pm Mr Fab: this was sooo nice, thanks much GG.
