Tue. 1/29/08 9:07am From: lonnie

jesus hatch, this don covay song is almost too epic for this time of the day

Tue. 1/29/08 9:07am From: Hatch

South Carolina got it right! What do you New Hampshirites have to say for yourselves, eh?

Tue. 1/29/08 9:15am From: dei x

if it doesn't happen in my state, it's not important.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:17am From: Hatch

Fair enough.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:20am From: dei x

I am thrilled to see Romney sliding. I just went on to the CNN site - http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/states/south.carolina.html and there's one of those bizarre ads for "clean coal". ....yeah. Coal: the other limited resource.

make yourself happy and see the movie 'Helvetica' : http://www.helveticafilm.com/

Tue. 1/29/08 9:33am From: Hatch

I've heard some things about Helvetica. Lots of great documentaries lately... Billy The Kid and Please Vote For Me are especially good.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:40am From: lonnie

finally saw the king of kong. that's a good documentart

Tue. 1/29/08 9:44am From: Cecile

I am reading "Thunderstruck" by Erik Hansen. Spoiler: Gugliemo Marconi is kind of an asshole. Can I say asshole here?

Tue. 1/29/08 9:44am From: Hatch

Sure. Asshole, asshole asshole.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:45am From: lonnie

oh, and by the way hatch, i saw juno recently and couldn't agree with your assessment more. it's bad news when the main character is so unlikable and every word spoken sounds like a first-time writer hell bent on sounding clever.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:50am From: Cecile

I haven't seen Juno, but I will have a warm spot for Diablo cause she threw some nice writing assignments my way when she was arts editor at City Pages in Minneapolis.

Tue. 1/29/08 9:51am From: Héctor

Hey Elmore James!
Maybe some Howlin Wolf or Muddy?

Tue. 1/29/08 9:52am From: Cecile

An acquaintance of mine back in the day used to announce Elmore on his blues show this way: "It's Elmore James! Doctor at the blues hospital! Elmore James!"

Tue. 1/29/08 9:54am From: PD

I'm looking forward to Persepolis. Not a documentary, but still interesting.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:32am From: dei x

I read the books and visited the web site of the movie. It looks like it was animated by some extra credit animators for the Simpsons. Stubby Bart fingers amid swooping fields of black.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:50am From: Cecile

Oh, ye, Gods. What is this love affair with Journey all of a sudden?

Tue. 1/29/08 10:51am From: JJZ

I feel cheated by a lack of Journey!

Tue. 1/29/08 10:51am From: Parq

Another vote for Helvetica; an unexpectedly interesting stort about a way-esoteric subject. Notably, Helv. is not among the 9 billion fonts that come standard with computers.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:52am From: JJZ

Helvetica was decent. Had a nice view of both sides. And it was interesting to see people really into fonts.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:53am From: Cecile

I'd love to see that movie, Helvetica. I spent enough time learning lettering back in the day to have a fondness for the fonts.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:53am From: michael

that last set was incredible!!

Tue. 1/29/08 10:54am From: PD

Just the Journey back music made me smile. And my brow was furrowed before that. So YAY journey!

Tue. 1/29/08 10:55am From: chris barany

Helvetica is actually required viewing at the place of my work. i had to cancel a squash game this thursday for the screening. that said,
i'm excited to see this film

Tue. 1/29/08 10:55am From: JJZ

I'll give you that, but it still felt a bit bait and switchy.

Tue. 1/29/08 10:57am From: barbarella

hiya hatch,,,how ya been??? did you see any movies this weekend??? i saw MEET THE SPARTANS,,it was pretty funny but stupid at times,,what do you like to do in your spare time?? snything groooooooooovy?????

Tue. 1/29/08 10:59am From: Hatch

Thanks, Michael.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:01am From: north guinea hills

oh wow, buell kazee. a preacher man who had to give up preaching to play the banjo, as his church frowned on making music.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:02am From: jw

Nice Kazee selection. This was the first song I heard by him. Really haunting.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:04am From: ted

earlier in the program you said that NOW had some sort of screed about Ted Kennedy betraying Billary but all I could find was a one or two paragraphs congratulating Kennedy and Obama. Did they change it?

Tue. 1/29/08 11:08am From: Hatch

The NY state chapter put out an incredibly inflammatory statement that said Ted Kennedy "can't or won't handle the prospect of a woman president." The city chapter and the national office have since put out statements to try and calm things down. Here's the original:

Tue. 1/29/08 11:08am From: Cecile

Yes.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:12am From: Rococo Pagoda

Testify!

Tue. 1/29/08 11:12am From: ted

WOW NOW!

Tue. 1/29/08 11:13am From: Tom

New Carla Bozulich?

Tue. 1/29/08 11:15am From: Cecile

I saw her do this live last year as a duet with Chris Corsano I think. It was pretty great.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:15am From: Hatch

Yes indeed. Bozulich is pretty fiesty these days.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:15am From: Rococo Pagoda

Yep. Not being released until March 11th. She's using Evangelista as her band name now.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:16am From: Tom

Sounds really fanstastic, but then I thought the Evangelista CD was out of this world, too.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:19am From: north guinea hills

i'm going to chime in w/ the chorus's of, THIS IS CARLA BOZULICH!!!! This is BRILLIANT!!!

Tue. 1/29/08 11:22am From: Dickdong (UK)

What's got into you today? It's ALL amazing!
Do the NY state chapter not see the man at Hillary's shoulder? - and - are they blind to the woman behind Obama? This is sexism at its worst.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:23am From: Hatch

What's gotten in to me today? Like I said earlier... programmable grind and brew coffee machine. Giving me a new lease on life.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:25am From: Carmichael

Just to insert some unbridled and generally-aimed anger here, DON'T play any more Journey!! Or any band that LOOKS like Journey! I get enough of that crap from JT & Giggles and the wacky morning zoo crew.

Wow. That was better than a primal scream. Keep up the good work, Hatch.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:32am From: Cecile

Man, this Cat Power song feels a little too Toni Childs for me.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:32am From: Leanmeat

Woohoo Cat Power!

Tue. 1/29/08 11:32am From: Ike H

It's like Carla Bozulich kicked my ass all up and down the street, and I liked it.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:34am From: PD

Sounded like "hatchback with you"

Tue. 1/29/08 11:41am From: dei x

I would call for the tickets, but I don't think I'd be able to make the show. I'm too old to drive 500 miles round trip in one day, even if it were my own gig. Guess I'm not hardcore anymore!

Tue. 1/29/08 11:55am From: Carmichael

Hey Hatch, Heather Jones did Branches Low on the Bearded Ladies comp. Lights did Rainy Day.

Tue. 1/29/08 11:56am From: Hatch

Eh? Not according to the liner notes I have. "Branches Low" is definitely a Lights song...

Tue. 1/29/08 12:01pm From: Carmichael

I was going by AllMusic's credits. If you have it in front of you, then you got the drop on me.

Tue. 1/29/08 4:45pm From: mike njtp
