uh-oh trouble in jamie's paradise... great comic..

Mon. 11/17/08 9:36am From: GP

That fake orange dye-job has altered stepmoms brain.....RUN!

Mon. 11/17/08 9:40am From: fishmonkeystew

UCONN (Storrs, CT) has a pretty decent FMU-like station (WHUS). Used to be my fav. But WFMU has stolen my heart.

Mon. 11/17/08 9:41am From: annie

it would be wonderful to see the TMNT original comic series...

Mon. 11/17/08 9:43am From: annie

pop linguistics quiz: is there such a word as "schlub"?

Mon. 11/17/08 9:44am From: yazzwho

Ben, What was the bed music you just used between the benoit pioulard track and this song?

Mon. 11/17/08 9:50am From: bw

that track was world standard!

Mon. 11/17/08 9:50am From: hey

come on cora, have a heart.

Mon. 11/17/08 9:51am From: GP

It would have been even better if Cora blew some smoke into Jamies face.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:01am From: stingy d

these bird names are pretty swell

Mon. 11/17/08 10:02am From: stingy d

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeenjmin waaalkerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mon. 11/17/08 10:05am From: stingy d

huge gary wilson fan... i gotta get this record any idea if it is on vinyl?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:08am From: stingy d

also this stuff sounds infinitely better than the stuff for the stones throw record... i'll be quiet now.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:16am From: joce

hi ben - listening & chilling out for awhile before heading back to class...this is much more fun though :)

Mon. 11/17/08 10:16am From: Cecile

hola. My weekend was so crappy, I'm happy to be at work today.

Benj., enjoying the mellow vibe.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:18am From: annie

cecile, good to see you, sorry about your weekend, we will cheer you up!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:18am From: Cecile

thanks! stupid minor ailments ended up in a clusterf**k of grossness.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:19am From: bw

I had a ruff weekend too.. so tired this morning almost felt like I could fall asleep while riding my bike to thePath train.. which I missed of course..

Mon. 11/17/08 10:20am From: Cecile

that's TAHRD as my western PA mom would say. Good thing you made it in one piece!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:21am From: annie

sorry to say i have nothing ill to proclaim. i just have a truck full of vinyl i'm emptying slowly.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:22am From: Bad Ronald

Where'd you get all the Vinyl Annie? Record Fair?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:23am From: dc pat

Ah, western PA.. I put some time in there, PGH. Nice place to visit...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:24am From: annie

uh, oh she's pregnant!!

ronald, it's my personal collection. i'm moving it to my new place. still have another truckload to go.. and fmu is getting my 78s

Mon. 11/17/08 10:24am From: GP

Annie, How many records are in a "truckload"?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:25am From: Bad Ronald

Well all right!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:26am From: annie

hehe, about 25 to 30 liquor store boxes..

Mon. 11/17/08 10:27am From: Cecile

Nice!
I should donate some to them too...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:27am From: stingy d

annie- i'll take it!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:28am From: GP

W O W !.......hopefully you did not have to drink all of that to get those boxes......BTW, what kind of turntable do you have....and have you ever tried one of those USB convertors?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:28am From: stingy d

that's what i say as soon as i walk into a prosepctive new home...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:31am From: annie

stingy, you serious? i'm sending them down the weekend after turkey day. i admit i am a wino, i have a 50-year old turntable still works great! there's one here and we are going to convert them to cd and load them into the computer. i'm seriously thinking of doing another radio show, this time over the internet

Mon. 11/17/08 10:33am From: PodSean

Saw Herman Dune with Jolie Holland in Nashville on the 7th. Those guys are great.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:35am From: GP

Sounds good Annie.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:35am From: Bad Ronald

Wow, Jamie goes to some great lengths...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:36am From: annie

i think jolie holland has a new cd, she seesm to be doing the circuit now.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:36am From: Doug in DC

Annie - anyone with that many records *should* have a radio show. I've got mine back recently, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:37am From: stingy d

what would it take to get them?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:37am From: PodSean

She does. It's a trip. The Living and the Dead. Marc Ribot is on a few tracks.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:37am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, vinyl makes the world go round!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:38am From: annie

yeah doug, i love spinning records. my cd collection is extensive too, lost about 30 or so in a recent move.. big bummer. and stingy i can give ben my email..

Mon. 11/17/08 10:40am From: Doug in DC

I've lost a few in moves, too. Always ones I ended up missing a lot. The ones that got away...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:41am From: Bad Ronald

Are you unloading your vinyl Annie?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:42am From: annie

yup, i feel your pain. i once had a whole tote full of cds stolen out of my living room.. i slowly replaced them as time went by, got a knock on the door a couple years later and it was a friend of my son who had found it in a basement and knew right away it was mine... i was stoked! and the funny thing is that i only repeated three cds in replacing them.. well, ronald some of it yes.. and the 78s are up for grabs.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:43am From: stingy d

yea i think thats what i'm wondering too ronald.. seems much too good to be true, and i am not understadnign somethign.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:45am From: annie

i attempted to donate the 78s a couple years ago to fmu and got a resounding no, recently i asked again and it was yes. so i am sending them down with a friend to be picked up.. i live upstate..

Mon. 11/17/08 10:46am From: Bad Ronald

I'm definitely interested. Maybe we can work something out.
I gave my email to BW if you're interested...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:47am From: bw

seriously folks.. I can't recommend the Eggleston video at the Whitney.. one of the most amazing things I have ever seen

Mon. 11/17/08 10:47am From: Bad Ronald

Stingy, you want 78s too?

Mon. 11/17/08 10:47am From: annie

wonderful.... and i can get you my phone number, we can hash it out.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:48am From: stingy d

no... i'm the guy that's alwasy confused though.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:50am From: Bad Ronald

Cool, just wanted to make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:50am From: annie

i'm tempted to come down myself and meet you guys at fmu..

Mon. 11/17/08 10:53am From: Cecile

honest to goodness, if I weren't taking my hub to Quebec during record fair next year, I'd say "let's have a record fair meetup!"

Mon. 11/17/08 10:54am From: GP

Road trip...road trip!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:55am From: annie

yeah, way cool

Mon. 11/17/08 10:55am From: Cecile

Or maybe one of those awesome free 'FMU shows next summer...

Mon. 11/17/08 10:56am From: GP

BW,
It sounded ok on the Windows streamer.

Mon. 11/17/08 10:57am From: Bad Ronald

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Mon. 11/17/08 10:59am From: GP

Recipe for disaster:

Take one misogynistic loner stir in a hot babysitter mix with other persons kids

Mon. 11/17/08 10:59am From: Cecile

that sounds like the next Judd Apatow film.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:00am From: yazzwho

Canton = Ohio pronounce "Cant Uhn" not "Cant Ahn" No?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:00am From: stingy d

http://tinyurl.com/psychadelicawheel

Mon. 11/17/08 11:04am From: GP

yazz.
Yea it is Canton Mississippi that he is talking about and is pronounced like the town in Ohio and we even have one in Texas.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:05am From: bw

Mon. 11/17/08 11:05am From: poppa bmore

Mon. 11/17/08 11:06am From: annie

Mon. 11/17/08 11:06am From: GP

BW,
You got it!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:08am From: GP

Wait a sec...isn't Jamie still married?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:09am From: Bad Ronald

No, that was a scam...

Mon. 11/17/08 11:10am From: Cecile

The midwest and European names:

Milan Mi, and OH: MY-lan (not Meehlan)
Canton MI and OH: Can-TIN (not CAN-ton)
Toledo, Oh: TOE-lee-do (not TOE-lathe-oh)

who's Jamie?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:10am From: annie

the comic on the playlist cecile..

Mon. 11/17/08 11:10am From: GP

10-4 Bad Ron..phew...glad that is cleared up.. I had to go back and reread that part!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:10am From: Bad Ronald

The dude in the comic.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:11am From: Cecile

oh, correction (TOE-lathed-oh)

Mon. 11/17/08 11:11am From: GP

toe - latte - OH?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:12am From: Cecile

OH, got it.
I was still mixed up about Cora - I was wondering why evyeone was talking shit about Tom Cora.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:14am From: yazzwho

Jeez - talk about shooting from the lip. And I really OUGHT to know things like the fact that there is more than one Canton. NOW that I know more about Eggleston, I really should know. I live in Nashville fer cryin out loud. Where Lafayette is pronounced Lah-fi-ette. No reason Canton is any different. But I lived in NY/NJ for 47 years and my strangled english is pure joisy.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:16am From: bw

at least you can talk my fren!!!

I butcher all languages everytime I turn on the mic .. but its fun!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:22am From: Cecile

I think if you mangle the language with a pure heart, no one faults you.
We were in Montreal a while back, and would greet store clerks with a happy Midwestern "Bon-JOOR", and the clerks would smile and say "'Allo!"

they just knew...

Mon. 11/17/08 11:22am From: annie

hey stingy, you want to give me your email and we can play with vinyl, too?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:24am From: bw

thats what I do in Montreal!!!

I say BONJOOR and then Hello - so they see at least I try

Mon. 11/17/08 11:25am From: stingy d

hey annie - it sounds like neverending happiness. but if it is 78's i am going to bow out and we can have fun later when i give out free maple candies.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:27am From: annie

word, stingy; i also have alot of 70's and pop vinyl i do not want..

Mon. 11/17/08 11:30am From: GP

mmm.pop vinyl...wished I lived closer Annie. I would take you up on that offer as well.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:31am From: annie

i'll tell you what i'll do.. once i get it all in one place and catalogued, i put a shout out. i know a great shipper who will do me right for sending em..

Mon. 11/17/08 11:35am From: north guinea hills

being at work sucks......

looking forward to a 3 hour lunch break....

Mon. 11/17/08 11:36am From: Bad Ronald

Wow Annie, Parq was right, you are a prize!

Did you get my email address?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:37am From: Cecile

DHL was the worst shipping company.
It seemed like they just booted the packages off the truck while the truck was moving.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:37am From: annie

i just checked.. not yet did you send? i think ben will do it after his show.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:39am From: Bad Ronald

No, I do not have yours but I did send it to bw via the playlist. I'll sit tight. Thanks!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:40am From: annie

ok, i just reposted it for ben..

Mon. 11/17/08 11:43am From: stingy d

here is my email for annie too, to continue the annie dialogue... we are making the dj do all the work.. hope you don't mind walkman.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:44am From: Bad Ronald

Cool me too. Yeah thanks Benjamen!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:45am From: Jody

Nice show today, Bwalk!

Mon. 11/17/08 11:46am From: stingy d

is the syrup cibo matto's little sisters?

Mon. 11/17/08 11:48am From: annie

hopefully this will work out for fmu overall, cause i can just give em what's left for the next record show.

Mon. 11/17/08 11:51am From: north guinea hills

holy smith, i'm still alive, thanks to you benjamen. sorry, i'll probably miss liz's show b/c of my much needed 3 hour lunch break....

Mon. 11/17/08 11:59am From: Bad Ronald

Oh no your signature sign-off!

Mon. 11/17/08 12:00pm From: bzul

Download/refresh too much...a real connection killer. Comic crossin' me up like a crapgame under a streetlight with a stutter, while the tune train is tossin' me off every fifteeen seconds at Quit City. Music and dark poignant story just out of reach, like a swell sandwich sitting a yard away from a sucker with a 32-inch reach. Full of hate -- for all playlists, and I want to hurt them as bad as they've hurt me.
