Hi Peoples

Mon. 9/29/08 3:44pm From: jim frm b-burg

Yes! Actually, I am listening frm upstate NY right now, otherwise it would be big cat country music only.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:07pm From: north guinea hills

damn, i missed "victor jara's hands". i'm a huge fan of victor jara and how he was executed, kills my soul. he was executed in a stadium (after pinochet's coup) in santiago, chile and asked to recant his political views. he refused, so they dragged them onto a stage w/ a guitar, and chopped off his hands, and made him try to play the guitar. again, he was asked to recant. he refusted. they cut out his tongue and he died there w/ his guitar still strapped to his body.

to all you folkie pretenders out there, this nuevo cancion folkie (who phil ochs tracked down in better times), walked the walk and talked the talk......

Mon. 9/29/08 4:08pm From: stingy d

by the way... i'm sensitive.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:08pm From: north guinea hills

i apologize for my poor punctuation.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:09pm From: stingy d

by the way... i'm case-sensitive

Mon. 9/29/08 4:11pm From: GP

Mon. 9/29/08 4:18pm From: sebastian in santiago

hi ngh.
victor jara is a major figure in our famelic cultural landscape. i still get the chills when i hear el derecho de vivir en paz. still, the story about his death seems to have been slightly exaggerated. i mean he was tortured and beaten and they broke his fingers once they know who he was, but the chopping-off part appears to be more myth than anything else. still, they did shoot him many, many times, which shows that particular violence was inflicted upon him.
why? sadly, because he stood out. because he thought. you can't imagine the what it was to grow up in this cultural wasteland during the eighties.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:22pm From: north guinea hills

my account comes from a phil ochs bio..... which i can't cite until i get home and find the book.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:23pm From: Harvey

HOLY SHIT!! I cannot believe this orchestral version of Aphex Twin exists. My mind has been blown.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:25pm From: Parq

NGH, I had also always heard that his hands were smashed and he was shot. I first learned about him from the Arlo song and from the reference to him in the second verse of Holly Near's "It Could Have Been Me." And yes, regardless of the details, what happened to him was a singular black mark on the repudation of the Pinochet government, a regime that had black marks too numerous to count.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:26pm From: john

I just noticed that you played Lonely Financial Zone. Got that right.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:26pm From: Parq

for "repudation ", read "reputation"

Mon. 9/29/08 4:28pm From: GP

What is happening on Wall Street now? Any rioting? This is one krazy day hombres...

Mon. 9/29/08 4:29pm From: stingy d

Dow's closed down 777 points... 7 percent. Methinks someone's trying to tell us something.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:31pm From: Sean Daily

And NASDAQ's down over 9 points, almost 200 points. NASDAQ just does NOT move that much in one day.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:31pm From: GP

Sevens are usually lucky, although at one time I looked today the market was, no kidding, at 666.66! Now that is scary.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:32pm From: GP

I meant down 666.66

Mon. 9/29/08 4:33pm From: Sean Daily

It was the ee-vill stock market, GP... EE-VILL I SAY!

But you already knew that...

Mon. 9/29/08 4:41pm From: GP

Maria, this Sky Flowers is nice and calming

Mon. 9/29/08 4:41pm From: you know

Mon. 9/29/08 4:42pm From: Parq

I wonder if it's still possible to get in as an additional investor in Ken's network of mattresses. And Scott, think of all the listeners who will be available as volunteers after they've lost their jobs (or should I say, we've lost ours).

Mon. 9/29/08 4:42pm From: plinky

does wfmu stay on air solely through listener donations?

Mon. 9/29/08 4:43pm From: Harvey

Yeah, this sky flowers is beautiful

Mon. 9/29/08 4:43pm From: Parq

Mon. 9/29/08 4:50pm From: stingy d

theys kinda similar

Mon. 9/29/08 4:52pm From: sebastian in santiago

hey ngh, you know our latin american folk movement of the 60s-70s did incorporate much vernacular music, but it was heavily influenced by the likes of bb dylan and joan baez, etc... then nueva trova (silvio rodriguez mostly) kind of fed us up with its baroque arrangements and "flowery" lyrics and LA folk music was kind of heretic for fifteen years... until the new american folkish singers that i believe you are denouncing started strumming the wooden guitar once again. predictably, new folk singers "who always liked victor jara, violeta parra and atahualpa yupanqui, but could listen to my bloody valentine as well", sprouted like mushrooms after rain.
not that i have anything against folk music. my thing is strictly against opportunism. well. what do i know.

Mon. 9/29/08 4:52pm From: GP

I'm not familiar with the folks being played, but today's show has been great -- moody and ethereal. (Q- use "ethereal" in a sentence. A- "I ethereal for breakfast every morning.") Keep it going thru the home stretch, Miss M.

Mon. 9/29/08 5:37pm From: Sean Daily
