  Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm fishmonkeystew:

The reverb makes my head feel cavernous. Well, that and the skunk.
  Fri. 5/16/08 3:06pm 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 Barney:

Existence is a mere figment of your imagination.
  Fri. 5/16/08 3:20pm 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 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 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 Barney:

Special Ed?

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

  Fri. 5/16/08 3:53pm 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 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 Barney:

Joe Torre's not half the wrestler Don Zimmer is.
  Fri. 5/16/08 3:57pm dc pat:

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

  Fri. 5/16/08 4:00pm 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 north guinea hills:

  Fri. 5/16/08 4:04pm kr:

re: tea; my steady diet of coffee jack daniels & guiness seems to be workling fine.
  Fri. 5/16/08 4:06pm dc pat:

  Fri. 5/16/08 4:32pm 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 north guinea hills:

  Fri. 5/16/08 5:45pm 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.

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 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!
