  Mon. 9/8/08 10:32am Sara:

Another one from the complaints dept... my (Mac, 128k) stream seems to be having some problems, is it my connection or is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:33am jon:

yes it was saudade... never heard of 'em before but I liked it.
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:34am jon:

  Mon. 9/8/08 10:37am pinky:

Can't wait for Silver Jews!! Am in London and they are going to get me through the Monday afternoon blues!!!
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:38am Sara:

Thanks Jon, mine seems to have calmed down as soon as I posted that comment... Shamed into good behaviour I suppose.
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:48am Parq:

Hi, gang. Joining the party at half-time after suffering through a gratifyingly rare office breakfast. Disappointed that there's no comic on the playlist, but psyched that I didn't miss the SJs.
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:50am parq:

sorry bout the comics parq

promise promise next week!
  Mon. 9/8/08 10:56am tamara:

  Mon. 9/8/08 11:06am Jason:

Really enjoying the show and this Silver Jews set is sounding real classic -- Trains Across the Sea is one of my all time favorite songs
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:08am Parq:

Sounds great, but may I be so bold as to suggest a wee bit more gain on the front vocal mike?
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:10am bw:

parq

it was recorded yesterday
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:11am Glenn L:

You just keep listening to that "front" vocal mike
Parq. It'll get louder.
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:12am ange:

"half hours on earth, what are they worth? I don't know."

half hours of live Silver Jews on WFMU - Valuable!
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:12am Parq:

Glenn, as long as the music stays like this, I can deal just fine with whatever the mix is.
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:13am bw:

one hour!!
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:14am bw:

sorry my host mic is low here.. but only for 2 minutes...
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:17am Glenn L:

Thanks Parq!
Davids mic really does get louder.
  Mon. 9/8/08 11:17am Gautam:
