I greet you this morning with a barbaric yawp.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:04am From: C

That Clay morning show was awesome. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard so early in the morning.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:06am From: jonathan

clay reminded me of david sedaris.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:08am From: Hatch

I wish he was on before me every Tuesday.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:16am From: Monster

Morning all. I'm still here :P

Tue. 6/10/08 9:19am From: Parq

These JB remixes are somethin' else altogether. I just wish he could have heard them.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:33am From: Doug

I'll be back later, I'm going to go deliver some bottled hot water to babies.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:33am From: Drew

I'm in love with Lil Wayne.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:35am From: Parq

We'll need a contractor to manufacture bottles strong enough to hold hot water. Of course, the obvious choice is Haliburten . . .

Tue. 6/10/08 9:36am From: Listener Dave from NH

The closest I can come to parsing that McCain-ism is that you heat milk to give to babies so that it's warm. That isn't very close, mind you.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:36am From: g

Hatch: woodCARVER Steiner . . . (but who's counting?)

Did you hear about the new Herzog docu about the antarctic? Sounds awesome.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:37am From: Hatch

Drew, AMERICA is in love with Lil Wayne.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:47am From: jonathan

when does the new herzog come out?

Tue. 6/10/08 9:49am From: Hatch

It starts tomorrow at Film Forum in New York. And I think it will air on the Discovery Channel later in the year.

Tue. 6/10/08 9:53am From: ?

got it on the netflix queue . . . sounds like it's in the vein of Herzog's "overwhelming and collective murder" view of nature

and netflix says the ski jumper one is "Sculptor" Steiner, but I've seen it titled different ways . ..

Tue. 6/10/08 10:00am From: Lang

what was your breakfast Hatch?

Tue. 6/10/08 10:05am From: Barney

1 hunter and 7 hunters?

Tue. 6/10/08 10:06am From: ?

i heard "one soldier and seven soldiers"

Tue. 6/10/08 10:06am From: Bad Ronald

Love this Breeders track!!!

Tue. 6/10/08 10:07am From: Cecile

Dang, only Kim Deal could do that baseline as well as the Aerosmith dude.

Tue. 6/10/08 10:08am From: Lang

Hatch I think your love of Aerosmith is so endearing!!!

Tue. 6/10/08 10:09am From: Hatch

The Aerosmith dude has a name (Tom Hamilton).

Tue. 6/10/08 10:11am From: C++

NOT WIRE, MBV, Hatch

Tue. 6/10/08 10:11am From: Cecile

I know, but I kept wanting to call him Brad Whitford, and I knew THAT was wrong.

Tue. 6/10/08 10:12am From: Cecile

Geez, gimme a break. The espresso hasn't kicked in yet, and I'm damn old. ;D

Tue. 6/10/08 10:13am From: Hatch

Brad Whitford is the rhythm guitarist. The one who wears a shirt.

Tue. 6/10/08 10:14am From: Hatch

Apologies Cecile! Just being playful.

Tue. 6/10/08 10:15am From: Cecile

I know. LOL! I like the banter. Had to give you grief...

Tue. 6/10/08 10:39am From: Hendrik

YES YES Ignatz! Say hello to Bram from all belgian people

Tue. 6/10/08 11:01am From: Mongo

Hatch - It's 95 degrees in the shade here on the Upper East Side play play some more feel good music - How about suicidal tendencies?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:12am From: g

can't believe I never heard Alex Chilton before--that rocked

Tue. 6/10/08 11:13am From: Hatch

Big Star?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:15am From: Matt

Is the rest of Thank You Friends as awesome?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:16am From: g

apparently they are a big, glaring, gaping, chasm in my listening experience--I must have missed the memo.

where do I start?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:22am From: Matt

G,

There is a CD with their first 2 records (#1 Record and Radio City) that is a good place to start.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:24am From: kwhitehead

Hatch: I live in Connecticut. I apologize for droopy Joe. He's a real embarassment. I worked for Ned, but we couldn't make much of a dent in the land of steady habits.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:25am From: Parq

"Sleazy" - you know. Leaves pork rib bones lying around. Plays his giant radio too damn loud. Walks funny. That kinda thing.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:25am From: $200K/yr. is rich?

you obviously have not been pricing Maserati's lately. believe me, $200K a year does not go as far as you think.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:29am From: Hatch

I hope you're kidding. $200k a year is twice the average household income for an American with a doctorate degree, and it's more than 99% of the rest of the population makes. How ridiculously rich do you have to be to be considered rich?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:29am From: Bad Ronald

Yeah, try living on 200k/yr. with a huge monkey on your back!

Tue. 6/10/08 11:31am From: Hatch

Right. You can only afford a new sports car once every 4 or 5 years. Truly rich people can buy one every couple of months.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:35am From: Parq

Ah, America. There are people making $2 million a year who will tell you with a straight face that they're not rich because they can't live as well as people they know making $50 million a year.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:37am From: Henry David Thoreau

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:38am From: rich in spirit

Who needs money when we have WFMU?

Tue. 6/10/08 11:38am From: Ike

I think that was a satirical post, Hatch. Plus, he spelled "Maseratis" incorrectly. Apostrophe abuse!

Seriously, our crazed consumerist fantasyland aims to brainwash everyone into spending ALL the money they have, and then some. Or else you're supposedly not doing enough for the economy. So, even some $200k earners think they don't have enough.

As for me, I'll be rich if I can vanquish the scourge of apostrophe abuse. You can't make something plural using an apostrophe, people!

Tue. 6/10/08 11:40am From: kwhitehead

Gah! Now I know where Stephen Merritt got his shtick from.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:42am From: mike

pretty amazing sequence going on here. ditto on the stephen merritt comment but man that was a great song

Tue. 6/10/08 11:43am From: GUMBY

We took our economic incentive check & went to Jamaica. I wasn't clear on who'se economy I was supposed to stimulate's. So I picked a sunny one.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:44am From: Hatch

I still didn't get my check, dammit! I need it, too. I'm broke as broke can be.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:46am From: GUMBY

It wasn't a real check. (If there is such a thing). It was an electronic deposit.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:48am From: Ike

Gumby, if you were abusing apostrophes in an attempt to get me riled up, well, it worked. Damn.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:49am From: Cecile

I got mine, we bought Ikea cabinets. No more stuff on the floor...

Tue. 6/10/08 11:50am From: Bad Ronald

never got mine...

Tue. 6/10/08 11:50am From: GUMBY

Sorry Ike, I just couldn't help myself's.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:50am From: Jt

The simple thing is, it is not how rich you are, it is how rich you feel.
Rich people Multi millionaires will "feel poor" if they are not adding to their income if they are losing money etc. Oh, poor them! Hatch cut up yer credit cards! that is the worst kind of debt!

Tue. 6/10/08 11:53am From: jeanine

Haven't gotten my check yet either. Apparently if you owed taxes when you filed this year, even if that money got taken out of your account via direct deposit, you get a paper check for some reason. I don't know about you, but I need that money like, yesterday.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:55am From: Hatch

That makes sense. I owed lots and lots, hence me being broke. That's what you get for being honest and reporting your freelance income.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:55am From: Doug

I bought 200 techno records and a Bosphorus Turk 22" ride with my bribe check. I am very pleased to have stimulated the economies of Turkey and Craigslist.

Tue. 6/10/08 11:57am From: Parq

We got our check a month ago. We bought the maid a new uniform.

Tue. 6/10/08 12:00pm From: hendrik

bye hatch great show today!

Tue. 6/10/08 12:00pm From: jeanine

To make myself feel less whiny, I'm perusing the Failed States Index... things are (much) worse in Haiti, Sierra Leone, and Burundi, just to name a few..
