Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, March 28 2007 (9:30 PM – 11:00 PM), at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“Our album review is Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes—containing plenty of latitude changes itself, as we detour past class songs, our first CDs, Roger Clyne, broken iPods, hidden tracks, and pirate jokes. Guest appearance by Smooth Jazz 98.7.”
Larry, proprietor of Zodiac Racquet Club, offered, on the Friday prior to our recording (our so-called “monthly” poker night), to set up a special and secluded spot for us this time. He assured us it would be quiet, but as you can tell it was not. I swear the Smooth Jazz sounds must be so constant the Zodiac staff have become immune. But, as Colonel Tigh would have pointed out, “It’s in the FRAKKING SHIP!”
We were in a room neighboring the salon. Larry promised us a table and chairs, but these turned out to be a kind of end table and an assortment of bar stools and chair parts. Scott, in fact, reclined on a seatback resting on the floor, while I stood by the doorway. Behind me was the salon area, but about the only remaining fixture was a black sink. I was tempted to turn on the tap, for some aural evidence, but Mike warned me we had been told not to run the water. The sink was not connected anymore and turning it on would probably send water gushing into the racquet court below. This felt like even more of an incentive, but I restrained myself.
And thus, with the stage set, let us proceed with the show notes:
