Friday the 13th by Thelonious Monk and everybody else

January 13, 2012 4:10 PM

For Friday the 13th of January, WFMU DJ Kurt Gottschalk played about 20 different versions of Thelonious Monk's Friday the 13th, including quite a few sent in by his listeners. Here's the playlist and 3 hour mp3 stream (below the blinky picture of Monk), including listeners' comments. Good luck!

Holy Shit does this look good. Thanks for posting it, I know what I'll be listening to while getting ready and pre-drinking before my friend's Friday the 13th party tonight.

is it ok if I hope that the artist 'Cortex Bomb' turns out to be the dubstep pseudonym of our very own cortex?

WFMU has made the occasional attempt to suck but they're just not good at that sort of thing

I'm glad to see that most of you are waiting to post your comments until you've had a chance to listen to all three hours. Admirable restraint!

I'm thinking that this would be a old mefi music challenge for Friday, April 13...

A good challenge. Not old.
