Hey, Chad, bring mama another Chardonnay!

Mon. 8/4/08 12:39pm From: ronnie

Mon. 8/4/08 12:41pm From: Jeff M

And here I thought I was the only one being forgotten. My girlfriend got a package in the mail a couple of weeks ago, so I guess progress must be being made.

Mon. 8/4/08 12:45pm From: Bad Ronald

Frozen margaritas no salt - Monica you rule - I had a couple at the Sombrero Friday night myself...

Mon. 8/4/08 12:48pm From: Carmichael

If you can make it out to California, Monica, I'd be glad to hoist a flagon or two with ya on my dime.

Aaah, what the heck? Same goes for all of yous!

Mon. 8/4/08 12:51pm From: monica

Mon. 8/4/08 12:54pm From: Jeff M

Hey, yaay! A few years ago, I had trouble finding the Nutley Brass's "Ramones Songbook" album -- all that was easy to get was Fiend Club Lounge. But now the Ramones Songbook is right there on Amazon. I'm gonna get me one.

As for the margaritas -- I make some darned tasty ones, just ask Ken. But I just don't believe in the frozen thing. Ice-cold, yes, but over rocks.

Mon. 8/4/08 12:57pm From: Carmichael

NANCY!! LEE!! YESSSS!!!!

Mon. 8/4/08 12:59pm From: Parq

Miss Monica! Tuned in just in time to hear the hula, digging Lee 'n' Nancy now. You're just the antidote for my back-to-work re-entry stress.

Mon. 8/4/08 12:59pm From: phil

Hah, nice pick, Summer Wine, haven't heard that one in ages. RIP Lee

Mon. 8/4/08 1:01pm From: Carmichael

The Ramones with the Longines Symphonette?!?

Mon. 8/4/08 1:03pm From: Jeff M

I love the genre-names people come up with (even though for the purist they're probably as annoying as the neighborhood names real estate agents come up with) -- but I see Lee Hazlewood associated with "Cowboy Psychedelia" or "Saccharine Underground", both of which are kind of cool phrases. I remember seeing "Cowpunk" used for The Beat Farmers...

Mon. 8/4/08 1:10pm From: ?

Yeah, i never really took to all those genre labels, i got enough problems keeping my collection in A-Z order ya know.

Mmm, now where did that pitcher go?!?!?

Mon. 8/4/08 1:11pm From: Greg from Detroit

Monica, this show is awesome! I'm ready for you to be back on the regular schedule.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:20pm From: gumby

I too am an unfan of all the niche digger labels assigned to music these days. That's why I like FMU they leap from Carousel band music to avante hillbillie jazz. Er, did I just genreflect there? I apologize to all.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:24pm From: Carmichael

Whenever I hear the Three Suns, I have a strange desire to rollerskate.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:26pm From: monica

hi carmichael ~ party at your place??? we're ALL comin. get out ye olde blender and load up on limes..

Mon. 8/4/08 1:28pm From: chadsey

yo jeff from my vague recollection of that evening, i think it was more like bring mama 10 chardon-hheeeyyyyy's. miss MO and i were definitely feeling not-a-thing.
(contemplates mischief) let's aviate.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:28pm From: Jeff M

Yah, I remember I was at the Record Fair a few years back, and had found some really miscellaneous cool stuff I wanted to hear (a Tom Jones record I'd never seen before, something by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers, Dylan Thomas declaiming some of his poetry) and a friend-of-a-friend who fancied himself a "serious collector" informed me kind of dismissively that I could be a proper record collector if I'd only manage to concentrate on a single genre...

Mon. 8/4/08 1:30pm From: Ike

Phil, "mojitos" does not have an apostrophe! You have angered the apostrophe gods. And the mojito gods. Watch out: Angry flying apostrophes and feral 160-proof mojitos may swarm and attack you at any moment. It may sound fun, but getting the glass shards out is difficult.

I'm not even sure how to parse "chardonhhheeeyyyyys" but I doubt the apostrophe could be correct. But I love "genreflect."

Mon. 8/4/08 1:31pm From: Jeff M

I've got lemons *and* limes. They'll go bad if I don't turn 'em into drinks soon. A little after three? Bring that radio lady, and we'll all listen to Ken and giggle.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:36pm From: Carmichael

OK, well I'm in for it now, I guess. From what I'm reading, you guys are party SAVAGES! Just don't trash the place.

Tiome to re-wire the Waring ....

Mon. 8/4/08 1:38pm From: phil

Geeze Louise, now i'm ticking off the gods of punctuation, oh well..tell Sweet Sjofn the Spellcheker the next round is on me, i'll even buy her something with an umbrella in it!

Mon. 8/4/08 1:39pm From: Jeff M

(Er, that last was aimed at Chad -- the Aviation is a tasty refreshing cherry-tinged lemon-and-gin drink, which I think he was invoking.)

Mon. 8/4/08 1:40pm From: gumby

Ike, does coming up with a funny word allow me to abuse a little apostrophe now?

Mon. 8/4/08 1:42pm From: Jeff M

If you ever see this expression:

...you know there's trouble a-brewin'. Just saying.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:42pm From: gumby

If the word apostrophe had an apostroph'e that would be cool, wouldn't it? It would be so French or something.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:43pm From: chadsey

jeff, down for this afternoon? say about 5? i might even be able to round up slack and his homemade raspberry gin.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:44pm From: M V C

One thing your going to have to be aware of: the *entire internet* is an affront to the apostrophe God's.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:46pm From: monica

A little known, but not surprising fact aqbout the WFMU staff: there is a disproportiately HIGH number of copy editors up in this piece!!! Spellcheck THIS!!

Mon. 8/4/08 1:47pm From: Jeff M

Oh, there goes the afternoon. The Jersey City Bomber and his raspberry infusion of confusion?

Gee, is it rude to monopolize Monica's playlist for party planning?

Mon. 8/4/08 1:48pm From: efd

[is partying in the sunshine]

Mon. 8/4/08 1:49pm From: Sean Daily

Listening to "Sunshine, Partytime", I'm reminded of all the reasons I hate disco.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:49pm From: efd

well, actually, i'm at work looking at the sunshine from my office window.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:50pm From: Jeff M

Sean-- Don't challenge her!

Mon. 8/4/08 1:50pm From: doron

so great to hear this song!

Mon. 8/4/08 1:54pm From: chadsey

jeff your're right, now we've got a sorry on our soiree for forgetting to ask MO. MO, you joining the mens this afternoon?

Mon. 8/4/08 1:55pm From: Sean Daily

I must, Jeff M. It is... my destiny.

(No it's not!)

It's NOT? Well, hell with it, then.

Mon. 8/4/08 1:58pm From: monica

hey folks ~ party plan away!! efd, chadsey, doron, sean d, m, gumbey - come AWN in! r.i.p. arthur weinstein, btw...

Mon. 8/4/08 2:08pm From: gumby

Aaaaandy! What is it Aunt Bee. Andy, You cut out that holerin' right now!

Mon. 8/4/08 2:08pm From: phil

Wow, i can't really see Aunt Bee approving of that type of singing in the house. (but i bet Otis dug it something fierce!)

Mon. 8/4/08 2:15pm From: Swami

Hell-a good show today. (Or s that "Heck-a"?)
And if Mrs. Mojito wants to let Monica have a drink of an articulated beverage, so be it.

Mon. 8/4/08 2:18pm From: Jeff M

Okay, we've got Chad, maybe Slack... Doron, Monica, y'all coming? Just a few blocks from that funny little radio station. Margaritas, Aerodromes, and Ken over the horn speakers.

Mon. 8/4/08 2:22pm From: tyler

why so little info online about Mag and the Suspects? can you give us the scoop?

Mon. 8/4/08 2:24pm From: sugarwolf

ewww, gin.

Monica, loved the Charo you played the other day. Soooo bummed I missed her performances a few years ago at the Dutchess Co Fair

Mon. 8/4/08 2:27pm From: Charo

Gin makes me feel all gutchy, gutchy!

Mon. 8/4/08 2:32pm From: Randy in NC

Hurrahs was one of my favorite clubs.

Mon. 8/4/08 2:38pm From: Jeff M

Had a friend whose sincerely raw little rock combo often appeared at the Continental. What are these jams, and why must they so often be kicked out?

Mon. 8/4/08 2:42pm From: Jeff M

Gin is Good. One of the problems with Kids Today is that they're afraid of gin (or indeed, often of anything but vodka.) Buncha soulless vodka vampires you see at parties so often now. Botanicals, man, botanicals!

Mon. 8/4/08 2:44pm From: chadsey

sloe & low, that is the tempo

Mon. 8/4/08 2:48pm From: gumby

What's the word?
Thunderbird!!!

Mon. 8/4/08 2:48pm From: sugarwolf

the only time I ever threw up from drinking was after drinking gin.

mother's ruin indeed

Mon. 8/4/08 2:52pm From: RSM!

Hey you kid! Old RSM! Tune in! Sigh!

Mon. 8/4/08 2:56pm From: monica

hey RSM!!! Met a bunch o yo fans the other day - Ariel Pink & crew...
Big shout out to everyone who tuned in today - may the margs flow freely for evermore. Who's doin' the guac? Mwah!! Monica
