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 From: jon

Mon. 9/8/08 10:38am From: 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 From: 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 From: parq

sorry bout the comics parq

Mon. 9/8/08 10:56am From: tamara

Mon. 9/8/08 11:06am From: 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 From: 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 From: bw

parq

it was recorded yesterday

Mon. 9/8/08 11:11am From: Glenn L

You just keep listening to that "front" vocal mike
Parq. It'll get louder.

Mon. 9/8/08 11:12am From: 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 From: 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 From: bw

one hour!!

Mon. 9/8/08 11:14am From: bw

sorry my host mic is low here.. but only for 2 minutes...

Mon. 9/8/08 11:17am From: Glenn L

Thanks Parq!
Davids mic really does get louder.
