Fri. 5/16/08 3:05pm From: Johnny Doobs

9 days and no coffee. I started drinking this stuff called water. Nice, but no buzz.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm From: fishmonkeystew

The reverb makes my head feel cavernous. Well, that and the skunk.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm From: Jessica

We're all very busy posting links to your show to our Digg and Facebook and whatnot accounts. Which seems extra super anachronistic, @ this here gateway to the weekend.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm From: Barney

1989 I wasn't half the hippie I thought I was.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm From: Parq

I still dig the way Bill pronounces it "mahrr-thon".

Fri. 5/16/08 3:07pm From: Bad Ronald

Do he have stink foot?

Fri. 5/16/08 3:07pm From: mother earth

yes yes god blesssssss

Fri. 5/16/08 3:07pm From: Jessica

What Parq said. Also how he makes "on the air" sound better than water, buzzwise.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:15pm From: ALF of Hip Hop Slam

It's OT for me today! $$$$ LaterZzz!

Fri. 5/16/08 3:18pm From: fishmonkeystew

Existence is a mere figment of your imagination.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:20pm From: Droll

1989?! What a banner year! I hope Kool Moe Dee's "The Don" or "I Go To Work" makes it into your tribute.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:22pm From: anne

i am home sick and lovin' this!!!!!!!!! thanks so much...

if you do ever get to 1994 on one of your shows, can you please play warren g's regulate? i am hankering for that song for some reason. was on some random mixed tape of mine way back when.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:23pm From: north guinea hills

god, i hated 1989,.... not the music or the culture, but just 8th grade in general...... (and top 40 radio)

Fri. 5/16/08 3:24pm From: Barney

Special Ed?

(operation ivy?)

Fri. 5/16/08 3:29pm From: clyde Stubblefield

That Stevie Winwood hook was dope in that 3rd bass track

Fri. 5/16/08 3:33pm From: fishmonkeystew

Fri. 5/16/08 3:40pm From: djspiderman

Fri. 5/16/08 3:53pm From: Barney

Special Ed!

Green tea could keep your prostate from getting too funky.
the effects of Tea appear to be uncertain.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:54pm From: Johnny Doobs

I'm sure Joe Yorre is quite the tough guy, but if he ain't got milk and sugar in that cup of tea, he ain't my buddy. By the way, is Joe Torre a wrestler?

Fri. 5/16/08 3:56pm From: Barney

Joe Torre's not half the wrestler Don Zimmer is.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:57pm From: dc pat

screw tea and lite beer. BLACK COFFEE. and RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT.

Fri. 5/16/08 3:57pm From: Ismael

Torre started drinking it on his doc's advice after surgery for prostate cancer. he managed the Yanks for, like, ever.

Fri. 5/16/08 4:00pm From: kr

dr or lawyer, I'll never be.
life of a drifter,

Fri. 5/16/08 4:00pm From: TepidRod

hi BIllyJam this is Hot Rod's mom - Like my daughter you play too much beat oriented music. Dont get me wrong I like your shows and also $mall Change and Noah but Pat Duncan is my ninja

Fri. 5/16/08 4:00pm From: Johnny Doobs

I know squat about baseball, we play hurling around these parts. Hurlers who drink Barry's tea = zero prostate stress.

Fri. 5/16/08 4:01pm From: north guinea hills

thanks to taxes, i'm borrowing $$$ this weekend to drink shitty beer.... why do i work 9-5.?

Fri. 5/16/08 4:03pm From: Ismael

Fri. 5/16/08 4:04pm From: kr

re: tea; my steady diet of coffee jack daniels & guiness seems to be workling fine.

Fri. 5/16/08 4:06pm From: dc pat

Joe Strummer's training regimen for marathons: do nothing for 2 weeks before race, then drink 10 beers the night before.

FMU has a lil' something for eveyone. After all, there are only two kinds of music: GOOD & BAD.

Fri. 5/16/08 4:32pm From: karabos

Great sample: "You can't dance fast enough for me, do you understand?" Was this part of the track?

Fri. 5/16/08 4:40pm From: north guinea hills

damn, 1989 house music, shit!!!!! (didn't discover it until the 90's, so i don't associate it that lemon curd year.....)

Fri. 5/16/08 5:45pm From: Droll

Thanks for reminding me I lent my Digital Underground Sex Packets CD to someone in '89, but I can't remember who anymore. I was over the loss until you refreshed my memory about the coolness of that classic.

Fri. 5/16/08 5:53pm From: ALF of Hip Hop Slam

DAMN! I'm just checking out the playlist! I gotta listen to this show later. It brought back some memories from when I was in high school during that time. Happy day early b-day to me! :-) LaterZzz!

Tue. 5/20/08 11:54pm From: Dawgisht

Hell yeah Billlaaaaaay... like ALF said, this is the shit that kept me somewhat sane thru high school. Used to bring my tapes to class and read the liner notes.

I'll bet you've still got the video for that APG track in the vault... it was shot at either Eastmont or MacArthur/Broadway Mall if I remember right... and only place it ever showed was on Soul Beat (RIP).

Seeya next month!
