agh, am I evil for not liking Jonathan Richman after the Modern Lovers?

Mon. 1/5/09 12:05pm From: Jorge

Hey Liz, ears like radars since now, salutes from Barcelona, is nice to tune in again

Mon. 1/5/09 12:06pm From: Cecile

how did that mall show go? Unfortunately, I had to miss it.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:08pm From: Liz B.

Hi everyone! The mall show went great!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:10pm From: Cecile

I loved the concept so much.
I should really get it out of the archives.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:14pm From: Liz B.

Ben and I talked to a bunch of kids skipping school, St. Nick the Bard scared toddlers, and we had a $5 shop-off. I still can't believe we did it!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:17pm From: Cecile

who won the shop off?

Agh, you put Nick into the mix? oh, dear.

that sounds awesome.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:18pm From: Liz B.

The shop-off was very close, but I think the winner was volunteer Brian, who picked up a Jesus toast stamp.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:20pm From: Cecile

NICE! I should fly out to the next one - I am the ninja of budget shopping...

Great, WFMU, you got me interested in another incredibly rare record...

Mon. 1/5/09 12:21pm From: jorge

coolhaven sounds like the better beatles into a sparks tribute album

Mon. 1/5/09 12:24pm From: marty mcsorley

Happy new year liz,
man the mall was never the hang out when we ditched school. i think i was more in the under the bridge crowd. (prob getting toasted and looking for jesus) what's wrong w/ these kids today?

Mon. 1/5/09 12:27pm From: Liz B.

I was in the toasted with Jesus crowd, too, Marty, we NEVER went to the mall when we were ditching school!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:27pm From: Ike

This Parts & Labor album is really excellent.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:28pm From: Cecile

me and a friend always just went to the sub shop and ordered something delicious but horrible. then we looked at records.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:32pm From: jorge

Mon. 1/5/09 12:32pm From: risky!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:41pm From: fishmonkeystew

Mon. 1/5/09 12:43pm From: cosmic

Mon. 1/5/09 12:46pm From: Cecile

*hen-pecking board*

Mon. 1/5/09 12:48pm From: Nick the Bard

I only made ONE kid cry, all the rest of them either ran right up me or didn't know what the hell was going on.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:50pm From: Cecile

well, thanks Nick for setting that straight.

Santa scared me as a kid, so one incident is pretty damn good.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:50pm From: Liz B.

You're right, Nick, you were an EXCELLENT santa! Only the parents were afraid!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:54pm From: cosmic

at least you made one cry, if you were trying to, you could consider that 1 point!

Mon. 1/5/09 12:58pm From: Nick the Bard

One mother just plopped her one year old on my lap, then made her older kid stand next to me and got a picture.

The first kid that showed up was all excited, but her mother HATED me. They even came by again later and it was still the case. I think that kid if gonna grow up to be awesome.

If theres another mall remote, I'll do it again, even if it's in the summer.

Mon. 1/5/09 12:58pm From: paulthepostman

Hi guys and girls, doods, roosters and schnooster poosters.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:00pm From: cosmic

hello paul, i came by! well nearly. i got as close as polegate.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:00pm From: risky!

Nick your lloving this whole mall santa thing way too much.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:02pm From: annie

cosmic, i hope you waved in his general direction

Mon. 1/5/09 1:04pm From: marty mcsorley

easter is a few months. . . . . nick the bard becomes nick the bunny!

Mon. 1/5/09 1:06pm From: oyente timoteo

Liz, Liz, LIZ! ¡Amiguita! Muchas gracias para "En Primavera." Prospero nuevo año a todos.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:06pm From: Cecile

'FMU needs an animal mascot with some kind of accompanying costume, preferably with a large head.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:07pm From: Cecile

how about the "earworm"

Mon. 1/5/09 1:08pm From: Nick the Bard

I have a bunny costume in mind in general, so, I'll do it.

And risky, if you saw me at the record fair, you'd know this is more of a "getting to wear crappy costumes in public" thing than anything

Mon. 1/5/09 1:08pm From: Liz B.

!Oye Timoteo! Ojala que 2009 va mejor que 2008.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:10pm From: Cecile

nice!

I was Snowball, the Prange's Department Store Christmas Dog once, for an afternoon. Loved it. But then the other Snowball got better and they didn't need me for that. *sniff*

Mon. 1/5/09 1:12pm From: annie

i was a clown at a summer fair one year and had a nice paint job on my face. i saw one of my students from school and went over to him to say hello. he ran away!! very funny..

Mon. 1/5/09 1:14pm From: paulthepostman

Hey! Annie, Cosmic and Cecile it's bloody freezing hereandthereabouts.
Annie - Hope your firewood is dry.
Cosmic - Did you go wild in Polegate?!
Cecile - Lots of respect and good '09 wishes to you sir.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:14pm From: cosmic

you know what, annie.. i think i did. hard to say as i like to drink when on the train.

i like this downstairs song

Mon. 1/5/09 1:14pm From: Cecile

he was right to run, Annie. Clowns scare me, too. My mom put me in a clown suit one year, and I refused to put makeup on my face. LOL!

Later I learned I was allergic to all that stuff, but I think it was funny that I was so adamant about it without knowing it.

the singer on Religious Knives sounds like the Triffids dude or Kim Salmon

Mon. 1/5/09 1:15pm From: jorge

i was a frozen santa at a flaming lips show here in Barcelona it was hilarious, next to me were fellas from sonic youth and the boredoms jumping and dancing like maniacs.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:16pm From: Cecile

sir?!?!?!
PTP...I am un girl
but thank you for the kind wishes.

Jorge! what an experience that must have been. Awesome.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:16pm From: Cecile

and it's bloody freezing here, too.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:17pm From: annie

yeah, this track rocks.. PTP, the wood is inside and stacked and dry.. when bob is here, he likes to cut wood and burn it right away.. it's all wet and takes forever.. now i can use dry wood again.. cecile, i told the kid about it later and he was so cute, he hugged me.. it was sweet

Mon. 1/5/09 1:17pm From: cosmic

i didnt stop mate. i got met at the station and took into the farmland of sussex and a beach in kent. i got dropped back at polegate a few days after xmas and i was still in the wind of it all, if you get my meaning, so in a way i did.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:18pm From: Jorge

yeah cecile was kinda of an amazing nightmare i almost get burned with all the parafernalia, well here is not as bloody as in the states but its cold too, i also was michael jackson when i was 6 years old but thats another psychedelic trip lol

Mon. 1/5/09 1:21pm From: cosmic

im studying for an essay on symbolism, and the song which caught my attention was by the religeous knives! hmmm

Mon. 1/5/09 1:22pm From: cosmic

think id better learn how to spell religious, then

Mon. 1/5/09 1:24pm From: Nick the Bard

My brother and three other kids had to perform "Beat It" dressed like Michael Jackson in a preschool talent show. That was around '86 though, so that was before the whole creepy falling apart stuff.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:27pm From: jorge

i performed thriller with a bunch of creepy little kids backing me up, yeah jackson at 86 was a big deal, i beg to do the moonwalk on stage but my teachers said NOOO, still hate her for that

Mon. 1/5/09 1:27pm From: annie

i still question why my class voted me, a short small-framed person, to play the role of christmas yet-to-come for our school xmas play..

Mon. 1/5/09 1:28pm From: Nick the Bard

Actually, it was the pre-graduation ceremony talent show to be more exact.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:34pm From: Cecile

wow...you guys had cool schools.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:36pm From: paulthepostman

Cecile, Ha! Cor Biimey O'Reilly.... my apologies, I am so clumsy socially.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:37pm From: HotRod

Good afternoon, Liz!!!

Mon. 1/5/09 1:42pm From: Nick the Bard

I graduated from the same preschool (base in a raquet club of all places), and I got sing "apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie", bleh. We did get it on video though, back in 1984, so everyone thought my dad was a professional camera guy taping it.

Even that age I couldn't sing the song "normal" (I was ending a lot fo the lines as questions, and the kid I was singing it with was emphasising every "pie").

Mon. 1/5/09 1:44pm From: Jorge

Liz, talking about southamerican and potatoland, i think you would like to check out an LP by the new juggler sound called trouble childs, 60s psychedellic mellow pop record from a lima-potatoland band. They ended being We All together

Mon. 1/5/09 1:47pm From: still puzzled

My buddies and I discussed -- but didn't execute -- a plan to be the intermission entertainment at the high school school musical, in monk robes(?), lip-synching to a playlist that included (mid-70s)Aerosmith and Roxy Music and a couple of unrecollected others. Thank god for lost momentum in the talk and not walking the double-odd walk.

Mon. 1/5/09 1:47pm From: carlos icaza

liz! wishing a great 2009 and listening to your fantastic show
greetings from mexico city.
new juggler sound is reissued on the vampisoul compilation back to peru, by the way..

Mon. 1/5/09 1:48pm From: Jorge

yeah carlos i have that record too, but you have to check out that LP is pretty good shit, Electro Harmonix from Spain editing

Mon. 1/5/09 1:50pm From: frenchee

wow! st. nick the bard....positively terrorizing!
I was a santa's helper six zillion years ago...vinyl go-go boots and John Denver's X-mas album all day long.

Mon. 1/5/09 2:02pm From: Liz B.

Thanks for the suggestions, Jorge and Carlos, I love We All Together, so this will be cool to check out! Happy 2009 to everyone!

Mon. 1/5/09 2:03pm From: Cecile

still puzzled - slow that down to a crawl, and dim the stage, and I think that was the Sunn0)))) show I saw

Jorge, potatoland! LOL!
i will have to tell my friend that, her first husband was Peruvian.

Nice, frenchee!

Mon. 1/5/09 2:03pm From: Jonas Brothers

Mon. 1/5/09 2:10pm From: Cecile

Oh, cool! that's hilarious.

Mon. 1/5/09 2:11pm From: Cecile

Mon. 1/5/09 2:13pm From: Jorge

thats what i was about to say, i was waiting for like a cornelius meets stockahusen re-mix of "Words" but this is too much isn´t it?

Mon. 1/5/09 2:15pm From: Cecile

yeah, but only because we'll never see a remix of "no one walks in LA" by Danger Mouse

Mon. 1/5/09 2:16pm From: Liz B.

This Missing Persons was from Essex UK, different band, same name, both great.

Mon. 1/5/09 2:17pm From: Jorge

Mon. 1/5/09 2:18pm From: Cecile

Mon. 1/5/09 2:20pm From: dc pat
