Nope. Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge. They now broadcast on FM, but had to give those wonderfully rare “WLSU” call letters when the FCC gave them the green light to go on the air – as “KLSU” (even though technically, LSU Baton Rouge is east of the Mississippi River and could have kept them according to the old rules for call letter assignment – but I guess there was somebody else already broadcasting as WLSU).

Did you go to DePaul by any chance? I went to that school and also had a lame school station that only broadcast to the dorms and cafeteria. I wanted to work at the station, but the wind went outta my sails when I realized that even a big music freak like me was probably not going to listen in.

Harry Nilsson was one of the reasons I showed up as a student DJ (an otherwise uncompensated gig on a college “radio station” that was only broadcast in the college’s dormitories over the 60Hz carrier wave in the power supply). Late, late at night when the fascists in the Office of Student Affairs went home to screw their mothers, we’d play classics like “You’re Breakin’ My Heart,” “Take 64″ and “The Flying Saucer Song.” And when we got busted, we’d break new DJs in by requesting the same songs… we ain’t goin’ to heaven, I know….

Nice work my brother. I think this is one of your most realistically “vintage” efforts to date. Good to hear those warm sounds (coming through these computer speakers).

another fine vocal pete. your voice is developing in fine fashion. this weekly work seems to be paying off.
you sound like rufus wainwright sometimes – except less broadway/judy garland. and you don’t slur (phonologically, of course) as much as he does. perhaps you need to injure your mouth or just drink alot more to get that nice slur effect?

this is one of my favorite songs. man, i love nilsson. the thing i like about this cover is that there are some very nilsson-y elements, but you’ve also taken it to town with your own vibe.
