The lazy calm at the week's start. A few live performances included, but mainly music with an ear tilted toward string-driven things.

  Mon. 12/22/08 3:45pm GP:

Good tidings to thee Paul the Postman.

  Mon. 12/22/08 3:45pm paulthepostman:

  Mon. 12/22/08 3:46pm annie:

only if you are the fool are you apart. otherwise you are a part
  Mon. 12/22/08 3:49pm Ken:

I liked the Greater Antilles Sampler. That is where I first heard Nick Drake and Fripp/Eno back in 1980
  Mon. 12/22/08 3:50pm annie:

sarah she could use a break, maybe she ran out of laudanum.
  Mon. 12/22/08 3:52pm Irene:

Same here! In the town of Morristown, NJ we had one small record shop-- Greymat Music. If they didn't stock it I didn't hear about it. I didn't have a lot of resources like magazines at hand (And the internet was just a gleam in someone's eye). The store buyer had good taste-- I found out about Pearls Before Swine, and a lot of Brit-Folk from them.
  Mon. 12/22/08 3:56pm Shannon:

Oh I love this - what's playing now. I hope this is Artisokka...
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:01pm paulthepostman:

ANNIE, YES, ha, morris men, sorry ...no but I cut a fine swath cavorting from the beer tent betwixt tent pegs and sober folks with a fine head of froth swaying precariously in a pint of fine ale being careful to draw the attention of the fine morris men ladys as I do so. Even if I say so myself.
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:10pm annie:

great days, those, eh PTP?
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:13pm paulthepostman:

The best annie.
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:14pm Thomas Truax:

Hi Irene,
Enjoying the show on line here in London, England. Perfect antidote to holiday insanity on Camden streets. It's night time here. Happy holidays to you!!

Those bones swashing around in the bowls of the Titanic are spoooooky, Irene
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:16pm annie:

  Mon. 12/22/08 4:26pm paulthepostman:

WHY does table football night have to fall on the first day of each week at about this time?
Always a pleasure to be on your musical wavelength however brief Irene.
Everyone, do something {special} this magical time of year, even if it just a small thing.
  Mon. 12/22/08 4:28pm annie:

  Mon. 12/22/08 4:30pm paulthepostman:

  Mon. 12/22/08 5:58pm Parq:

"Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who could take a wonderful station like WFMU and turn it into a problem." I love how the dialog in that show is obviously spliced together from separate takes of a few words each.
  Mon. 12/22/08 5:59pm annie:

where did you hear that parq?
  Mon. 12/22/08 6:00pm Shannon:

Peace to you too, I! Thanks for the Christmas wishes and always-excellent tunes. *hugs*
  Mon. 12/22/08 6:03pm Parq:

Annie, are you still reading? Just listen to the thing. The edits - physical cuts in analog tape - are obvious.
