Rocket 88, great!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:13am From: meghan

Hey there Hector! Glad you like it

Sun. 12/21/08 6:27am From: paulthepostman

Wow Meghan, you're not slow at the lights are you! Your playlist is ahead of us, will we ever catch up?!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:30am From: paulthepostman

...bowie always crashing in the same car maybe?

Sun. 12/21/08 6:31am From: meghan

ha.... remember 7 sec delay

I thought of bowie... but a little slow... for my playlist... hehe

Sun. 12/21/08 6:32am From: paulthepostman

...nothin' wrong, mind, with what's goin' down, nothin' at all!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:33am From: Anne

incrdedible guitarplaying by the reverend horton heat!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:33am From: paulthepostman

hehe

Sun. 12/21/08 6:34am From: meghan

hehe

Sun. 12/21/08 6:36am From: paulthepostman

hoho

Sun. 12/21/08 6:42am From: Anne

Yo, the Golden Earring! I'm from Holland! the first live band I ever saw!
sniff..
(why do they make those math questions so difficult..?)

Sun. 12/21/08 6:43am From: Meghan

Nice... glad you are listening Anne! and i agree... math is not happening for me either!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:46am From: Anne

love the station, love the music! internet radio rocks!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:47am From: Rob W

I wonder if Golden Earring likes frites with curry sauce, brown bars and spicy Indonesian takeout as much as I do? P.S. - I can help with the math if necessary.

Sun. 12/21/08 6:48am From: molerat

Nice, energetic Sunday morning set.

Might not fit the straight-up rock mood, but Three Johns' "King Car," maybe?

Sun. 12/21/08 6:49am From: Rob W

PS - Meghan, do you know the song by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Make Me Smile - ? We have it on vinyl at FMU! Kinda would fit in here - but don't let me influence you...

Sun. 12/21/08 6:50am From: Anne

it;s just the numbers above 100 that make me sweat..

Sun. 12/21/08 6:50am From: jeff

How about "cars and girls" by the DICTATORS ??

Sun. 12/21/08 6:52am From: Anne

Ah! make me smile.. brilliant song!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:52am From: Rob W

Re: My request: I forgot - gotta keep to car songs. Save my suggestion for another glammy set! As for numbers over 100, well that's not bad. You know there are a few traditional societies around that count this way: 1, 2, MANY - as in, 2 is as far as they go! So you could do worse...

Sun. 12/21/08 6:55am From: cosmic

meghan, how about motor city is burning by the mc5?? huh?

morning evereybody!

Sun. 12/21/08 6:56am From: Mutt

"Small Car" by the legendary Marvin Pontiac (John Lurie).

Sun. 12/21/08 6:57am From: Anne

OK, so it's carsongs. I'm in love with my car by Queen?
and euh Meghan, it's 1 PM right here in Amsterdam, Holland, so I'm already halfway the day. As a matter of fact, I'm kinda halfway my life as well.. (knock, knock)

Sun. 12/21/08 7:02am From: Meghan

Man... where were all of you last night when i was having a space out on car songs! Thanks for the requests.... I'll see what i can do.... can't guarentee.. but will put them in the NEXT car show!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:05am From: tombom

swervedriver has a load of car songs. and a train song, as well!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:08am From: cosmic

yeah buzzcocks!! dont look at this link then meghan http://www.catechnologies.com/blog/carsongs.html

Sun. 12/21/08 7:13am From: Meghan

I actually looked at that link last night... so many songs... had to pull it together in about a couple hours... but thanks!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:14am From: john

The daily double would have been Blue Thunder by Galaxie 500, a car song by a band named for a car. Just sayin'.

Sun. 12/21/08 7:16am From: Meghan

Oh i looked at it too.... i LOVE Galaxie 500! i have that song with the sax and without...i figured that was a stretch...

Sun. 12/21/08 7:19am From: Mutt

"Middle of the Road" by the Pretenders- a great driving tune. "Mercury" by David Lindley.

Sun. 12/21/08 7:19am From: john

No stretch at all, it's about Dean's car! Although to be sure, every rock song with sax is a stretch. I like the sax-free version, which may say something about me. Or not.

Sun. 12/21/08 7:21am From: cosmic

i think youre doing a great job!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:21am From: Meghan

ha.... i just was obsessed with them. I got singles and what not. Read Dean's book? Reall good.

Thanks Cosmic!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:25am From: john

I mean, it's no Dodge Veg-O-Matic, but then what is? I like it a lot! I was a big fan too, and I did read the book, and Damon and Naomi's reaction to it. I'm on their side.

And yes, fun show, wish I hadn't just tuned in ten minutes ago!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:26am From: Meghan

ahhh that is the joy of the archives.... to relive the madness

Sun. 12/21/08 7:29am From: tombom

help me, what was their reaction to it

Sun. 12/21/08 7:30am From: cosmic

no thank you! theres something more magical when its happening right now though. even if it is lunchtime here!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:31am From: tombom

ride? awesome. i'm not sure if it's about cars though, if you get my meaning !!!!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:32am From: meghan

hehe... yeah neither was the violent femmes either....if you catch my drift...

Sun. 12/21/08 7:36am From: john

Kitchens of Distinction! You're pillaging my record collection!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:41am From: tokindaddy

great show this morning, meghan, been listening since 5am, and I haven't heard one I didnt like

Sun. 12/21/08 7:41am From: Meghan

HA! actually pillaging MINE! but glad you have similar taste!

Sun. 12/21/08 7:45am From: john

I don't know--Drivin' Sister? Under My Wheels? I thought I heard noise down the hall a few hours ago...now if you were playing the Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin version of Ford Mustang, I'd be contacting law enforcement...

Sun. 12/21/08 8:03am From: tombom

did i hear you right? a themed show on... bells?

Sun. 12/21/08 8:04am From: Meghan

Yep.... songs with bells in them... songs with bells in the title....

Sun. 12/21/08 8:08am From: john

Ah, I was hoping you'd come to the Best. Rock. Song. Ever. and there you go!

Sun. 12/21/08 8:09am From: tombom

wow, pretty esoteric. swirlies-bell, cardiacs-bell clinks/bell stink, the who-bell boy, mazzy star- bells ring, jethro tull-ring out solistice bells, olivia tremor control-tropical bells. there's a few. also this song is good.

Sun. 12/21/08 8:10am From: Meghan

hehe... all in due time John... all in due time

Sun. 12/21/08 8:11am From: Meghan

ohhh thanks Tombom... I will note all those! and try to find them!

Sun. 12/21/08 8:14am From: john

Nah, you just nailed that one, unless you were talking about Tom Robinson's 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Still all begins and ends with Roadrunner for me!

Suggestions for the next show are at present rattling about in the caverns of my mind.

Sun. 12/21/08 8:14am From: Komack

Sounds like a good show so far

Sun. 12/21/08 8:14am From: john

Unless of course you meant "Chevy Van." Cos that's all right with me.

Sun. 12/21/08 8:15am From: Meghan

KOMACK!!! hello!

Ahh John... looked at that one too! Get out of my MIND!

Sun. 12/21/08 8:17am From: Komack

this time zone difference is killin me!
you got some good songs on there

Sun. 12/21/08 8:21am From: - B

Dickies 'Manny, Moe, and Jack?'

Sun. 12/21/08 8:25am From: john

Well, there's the Flamin' Groovies Teenage Head, but that's another one of those that's only nominally about cars. Another daily double, The Barracudas' "I Want My Woodie Back." Don't be filthy, kids.

Dammit, I was thinking about GTO! Now it's your turn to get out MY mind!

Sun. 12/21/08 8:28am From: Komack

ROFL! sounds like me after a few bottles of wine

Sun. 12/21/08 8:36am From: john

I swear to you I was just typing Car Song too, but I was thinking Elizabeth Mitchell's kiddie version. I'm pretty sure my brain waves are being monitored through the fillings in my teeth. Where's that lead hat?

Oh, and my absolute last thought (promise) because requests are annoying--Johnny Cash's One Piece At A Time.

Sun. 12/21/08 8:39am From: Meghan

only got a few more minutes... so i have it planned out... but haven't seen the next dj yet... so if i go over.. ALL REQUESTS! HA!

Sun. 12/21/08 8:57am From: Komack

Great Show! See Ya later
