Hi Pseu. Good soundtrack for a rainy Friday night.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:17pm From: andyw

perfect soundtrack to my post lawn mowing, drinking a beer while watching the sun set upon the bluffs and river in the country in minnesota. thanks pseu!

Fri. 8/15/08 8:19pm From: andyw

wait- rick springfield? make that almost perfect soundtrack. hey, i just read an interview with him where he talked about drinking cobra blood. damn.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:21pm From: john

I'm sorry, beg to differ. That Rick Springfield track rawked. And rolled. Made me glad I didn't go out yet. And now probably won't til 11.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:23pm From: Tommy

I'm with John on this one.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:24pm From: dagwood

Shazzam. Terrific set Pseu. Shout out to Andy W in MN if it is former/guest WFMU DJ. If not, hey out there.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:25pm From: andyw

oh i loved hearing rick, i might groan a bit about it but i bet it's the song that stays in my head for days. it's already stuck there.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:25pm From: Ike

SPOON! This is their classic ode to an evil record company scumbag (if I remember correctly).

Fri. 8/15/08 8:28pm From: andyw

Thanks Dagwood, it's me- I will be hopefully doing a few shows in September too. Shazzam is a great word! & Pseu is one of my very favorite dj's...Heart! When I was in school, a common topic amongst guys was which Heart sister was the favorite.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:30pm From: Tommy

Heart, Journey, & Cheap Trick tour! ROCK

Fri. 8/15/08 8:30pm From: Bones

just tuned it... heart? heart?! wtf is going on?!

Fri. 8/15/08 8:32pm From: john

someone just invited me to see that tour on sunday. I have to admit i asked what time the trick were coming on to time my arrival (and departure), but I must say I dug that heart song!

Fri. 8/15/08 8:36pm From: Tommy

Pseu it's Lmao Laughing my a** off.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:39pm From: roger

he meant ( Lmao)-meant laughing my ass off

Fri. 8/15/08 8:43pm From: mikey g.

I had lunch with Ron Lafitte once at Bliss, the not particularly good vegan restaurant in Williamsburg. He was handed a copy of that Spoon cd during the course of the lunch.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:45pm From: roger

speaking of la fitte I have a word for you BIGFOOT---and i'm not talking about that thing on end of leg-----real-BIGFOOT has been discovered

Fri. 8/15/08 8:46pm From: andyw

ed ball, the guy behind teenage filmstars and the times (and an early member of tv personalities) is one of the nicest people in the world, if you feel like finding him he's on myspace too.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:48pm From: john

Couldn't agree more about Ed Ball, and one of the most talented in our little world. And the early Times records helped me re-discover 3 minute guitar pop songs in the early 80s.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:51pm From: Tommy

Can anyone suggest a good karaoke spot in Manhattan?

Fri. 8/15/08 8:55pm From: john

You're right, Pseu--harpsichord rock rules! And if anyone disses the Carpenters prepare for a beatdown. Just saying.

Fri. 8/15/08 8:55pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Oh Pseu, thanks for playing The Carpenters! I love this song, as well as all their others...

Fri. 8/15/08 8:58pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

I'm with you, John. Carpenters Posse REPRESENT!

Fri. 8/15/08 8:59pm From: john

Church!

Fri. 8/15/08 9:10pm From: mary

The LIncoln Center website said that the Rhys Chatham outdoor show would not go on if rained... and it has been storming here in downtown NYC from 6pm until about 1/2 an hour ago. I did not go presuming it was rained out.It was thundering with lightning at 7pm. So, they are doing it???How?ARGHhhhh.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:12pm From: pseu

mary....lincoln? rule #1
don't believe everything i say

Fri. 8/15/08 9:15pm From: Ike

Didn't Bryce or Doug or somebody say that they were moving it indoors? I'm missing it in either case because I'm preparing for a hardcore hike tomorrow on Devil's Path n the Catskills. I may be insane.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:22pm From: john

What I said about harpsichord rock? Ditto for flute and trumpet pop.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:52pm From: Ike

As a Jerseyan I am TOTALLY down with renaming Brooklyn "Cat Food Tin." That's AWESOME.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:53pm From: Joe R

No, I never tire of hearing the name Brooklyn.
Jersey is jealous.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:55pm From: Battle Creek, Michigan

New code-name for Brooklyn: Gondwanaland.

Fri. 8/15/08 9:56pm From: mike c

Amen Pseu!

Fri. 8/15/08 10:06pm From: mike c

Ha! I thought I was the only one that listened to this

Fri. 8/15/08 10:12pm From: m

just got my big box o' swag last week, pseu, and your premium is by far the most ...perverted

<3

Fri. 8/15/08 10:22pm From: Ithaca NY

Ohmygod...The Perfect Disaster....I've been hunting for Evil Eye by that band for 10+ years....Unreal....

Fri. 8/15/08 10:26pm From: Jim

That Von Hayes track reminded me of Rick Springfield. And that means it was awesome.

Fri. 8/15/08 10:32pm From: john

Ditto on Perfect Disaster, got to dig up those CDs before I head out west for an extended stay. Phil Parfitt's next band, the brilliantly-titled Oedipussy, was also great.

And this sure beats another roundup of my dating misadventures! (Note I gave you a few weeks' respite).

Fri. 8/15/08 10:40pm From: pseu

no, it's fine -- what happens on these dates anyhow?

Fri. 8/15/08 10:46pm From: john

Really quite astoundingly little, but even though there are no details to speak of, and I'm too disgustingly well brought up to discuss it if there were, I'll fill you in on a different medium. This time I just feel stupid. And 3 minute pop songs make it all go away anyway.

Fri. 8/15/08 11:00pm From: Ike

I thought it went without saying that the Olive Garden is slimy crap. Go to Sichuan #1 in Cedar Grove instead. It's amazing. Essex County rules.

Fri. 8/15/08 11:02pm From: Ike

Oops I meant Chengdu 1.
