Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

haha + nope ++ i don't understand what it is actually... ++ our election was last year and the conservative freak john howard was voted out, thank god !!

From:
marc
in order to pick the presidential candidates, from our two political parties, to face off in november, there is a nominating process. tomorrow almost half the country--24 states vote in that process. thats why its called "Super Tuesday."
Mon. 2/4/08 11:56pm
From:
mark g
thanks ! here there is only one candidate from each party who runs for prime minister... it's a 2 horse race from the beginning of campaigning... whoa sound like a huge day tomorrow... good luck !
Tue. 2/5/08 12:01am
From:
marc
if my count is correct, at the start of this race in january there were more than 10 --if my memory is good.
Tue. 2/5/08 12:03am
From:
marc
now there's 2 democrats and 3 republicans
Tue. 2/5/08 12:09am
From:
mark g
will it be close?
and who is from which party... obama is ___ ?
hilary is ___ ?
and who and what's the other ?
there is some coverage here but not loads...
Tue. 2/5/08 12:11am
From:

never heard of "five fingers of death."
Tue. 2/5/08 12:20am
From:
?
THANKS !
another difference is that voting is compulsory here... you get fined 50 bucks if you don't show up (of course it's very important to vote and you'd be crazy not to)
we've has a Labor federal government since last year, after 10 years of ultra-conservative rule... phewy... everything cheerier now :)
Tue. 2/5/08 12:23am
From:
marc
it should be compulsory here as well with a fine for those who dont vote. id be in favor of that
Tue. 2/5/08 12:25am

"five fingers of death" aka "Tian Xia di yi quan"

DJ does nice show, writes about it, you listen and watch and write comments. Squirrels work behind the scenes. Magic.

I kind of like the PL and MSG concept being live, but I don't like the fact the pages are refreshing (should be coded to just refresh cells)

yes, excellet show efd ! i listen in from AUS frequently too :) PEAZ X

Holy heck, that is some serious studio-mic-fu: the clipping of your final consonants is the only clue, other than your telling us, that oh yeah it's actual real live winter out there. My tells would be somethings more like groans and whines.
Out here in Berkeley, CA, over the last 24hrs we've had 5 very personable Obama volunteers call to encourage us to vote - which vote is in fact going to be for their candidate, with pipe dreams of an /Edwards ticket - and several rounds of Duelling Clinton Auto-Dialers. My answering machine is filled with half-pitches and transfer-click-bleeps. I can't wait for the morning, when the calls, and the governor's larcenous casino development schemes, will fade from culture-gone-wrong outrage to cocktail-chatter guffaw.

thanks Kenzo, that's a much better explanation than i would have given!
clcradio, you are getting the info straight from the horse's (or programmer's) mouth!
Tue. 2/5/08 12:49am
From:

Squirrels! They *are* plenty crafty, if camera shy.

Vox sounds 5x5! OH, the playlist "squirrel" programmer, I C. I can fix the refresh code, though, and page code so they work without using frames - if you want, no charge, if you like. (for me, things work better not in frames). Our station uses audiorealm and L365 nano servers for "now playing" info in auto-mode, but your thing is cool for live!

I like this song, "Your DJ speaks" (haha)

Do you like Foamy Squirrel adventures?

I found the KenzoDB page!

From:

clc, I wouldn't be so quick to second-guess our database wizard... we went through a number of iterations with the live comments, and for a number of reasons the version you're looking at is what works best for us here at FMU, frames and all.

I think everyone got too comfortable...

there's still 5 minutes to go!

i heart fancey. maybe even more than destroyer. though I don't have to choose on that, right?
Tue. 2/5/08 1:45am
From:
efd
no, i think there's room for both fancey and destroyer, and then some.
