Tue. 1/27/09 9:09am From: Bad Ronald

Excellent set thus far Mr. Sigal!

Tue. 1/27/09 9:09am From: Jason

i think youre right raf. i am trying to picture an oatmeal stick

Tue. 1/27/09 9:11am From: annie

when did the station get its fix yesterday?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:12am From: Jason

what do you mean "get its fix"?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:13am From: annie

there was no feed, no music. silence.. ken said something about the dns...?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:14am From: paulthepostman

'pminsussex' is me not paying attention; 'pminsussex' is my pass word to my amex plutonium account, silly me.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:14am From: Glenn L

The online signal returned around 3 - 3:30pm.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:15am From: annie

i missed it... tried almost til then, then stopped.. silly me. PTP, you copying and pasting wantonly again?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:16am From: Jason

ah i thought you were talking about something else...the website was on and off, but mostly on, from ~11am on

Tue. 1/27/09 9:16am From: SmokinJ

Hmmm...Never lost the stream even for a minute yesterday..

Tue. 1/27/09 9:17am From: annie

hhmmm......... got nothing at all almost all day. even the website wouldn't come up. oh well, here you are.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:17am From: stingy d

jason sigal! its perb dunny

Tue. 1/27/09 9:18am From: SmokinJ

Website WAS down; all streams UP :)

Tue. 1/27/09 9:18am From: pminsussex

SmokinJ - you not poota dependent?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:18am From: Jason

yeah smokin j, i think the stream worked if you had it in itunes, but our site itself was down

Tue. 1/27/09 9:20am From: stingy d

you know what'simpossible to get a copy of? bloodclot gangsta youth

Tue. 1/27/09 9:20am From: still b/p

Home page says restoration was 4-ish. I got in/on midday. Strange and mysterious for a while to do without a need-filler that's so easy & reliable ordinarily, "Where it at?! I wanna wanna hear it!". An eerie lacka/wanna.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:20am From: SmokinJ

ITunes? God forbid! Listened all day with Winamp and other assorted software. No problema..

Tue. 1/27/09 9:20am From: sub

your show is making me late for work

Tue. 1/27/09 9:21am From: owen

yeah. i had the link to the stream already up in winamp and it was fine all day.

god. listen to us all... it's as if there was a great collective trauma or something yesterday,

Tue. 1/27/09 9:21am From: Jason

by itunes, i meant some sorta software...who hates the itunes? i just started using songbird, anybody try that?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:23am From: paulthepostman

Technical Dept: no notooons or unrealplayer reception yesterday, ah-um.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:23am From: SmokinJ

Songbird isn't bad. Sort of an open source clone of JRiver Media Center.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:25am From: paulthepostman

Jason - I started using BBB radio 4.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:27am From: paulthepostman

...got nothing there either until I tried BBC radio 4!

Tue. 1/27/09 9:31am From: Parq

I am one of those guys who has to use WMP at work, and it was out all day. Thank Dog I had some old FMU podcasts available or I would have gone through withdrawal. Let's hear it for the stream team, who must have really earned their stripes yesterday.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:33am From: stingy d

i hate when i finally find something on bloodclot gangster youth and its in some type german icelandic gunky language the only words i understand are "Me shot pussyhole people fi fun! Who wan test me?" i understand that well and good.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:33am From: annie

i guess i was so annoyed at winamp and the website disappearing, it didn't even dawn on me to try itunes... .. i'm embarrassed.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:35am From: Bad Ronald

Ha ha "stream team". Makes me think of water sports...

Tue. 1/27/09 9:39am From: paulthepostman

BR you are incontinently incorrigible!

Tue. 1/27/09 9:40am From: paulthepostman

Annie, don't be embarrassed.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:42am From: Bad Ronald

Sorry, I miss you guys...

Tue. 1/27/09 9:42am From: Parq

Has anybody taken Ike up on his suggestion to try Foobar at work. I'd have given it a go yesterday except I was swamped with - oh, the embarrassment - actual work.

Tue. 1/27/09 9:49am From: paulthepostman

Jason - is Ghislain Poirier in that loop?

Tue. 1/27/09 9:49am From: annie

BR- we miss you too, good to see your old silly self here. when i have an idle moment , i guess i'll try foobar; i have this routine that has very little space for variation.. habits are weird. . guess i'm afraid of missing something if i try a new program or music server; even one song ..

Tue. 1/27/09 10:09am From: stingy d

time to get out of bed sleepy head

you've been somewhere ronald?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:10am From: paulthepostman

I forgot to wash my feet before getting into Imaam Bey's Mosque.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:12am From: Bad Ronald

Not really Stingy, just swamped as well...

BTW - I dug your "Feel Good" piece!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:13am From: Panda123

Hi Jason! did I miss the powerpop portion of the show?
Love,
Panda

Tue. 1/27/09 10:14am From: Liz B.

Is this bagpipe number dedicated to Doron?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:14am From: stingy d

oh cool, thanks ron.

yximalloo is where it's at!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:17am From: Ken

The problem yesterday would've affected every person differently - DNS servers were bouncing up and down non-stop from 830am to 4pm. So it all depended on which one your own ISP was looking at.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:17am From: Ken

Hey Paul the Postman - where you at in Sussex County?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:18am From: Cecile

bah, now i have Web, but no soundz.

I will keep trying.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:19am From: Ken

Cecile - email me off-playlist and I will try to help you out. ken at wfmu dot org

Tue. 1/27/09 10:21am From: GP

Morning all....Parq, I'm listening in with Foobar as I type this, sounds good so far.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:22am From: still b/p

Another fine radio/computer simul-sound combo was going on in this room: Yximalloo and Andy Williams doing Canadian Sunset. Hmmmoo..currents of secret strange power created.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:26am From: Parq

Thanks for the update, Ken. I have barely a vague idea what all that means, but hey . . .

Tue. 1/27/09 10:26am From: stingy d

what's a book worth reading?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:27am From: stingy d

also...
what's the difference between a pick pocket and a peeping tom?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:28am From: Ken

I just read "John Lennon: A Life" and "Brainwash" and I loved both of them.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:29am From: stingy d

what's brainwash?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:29am From: annie

i loved "this house of sky" by ivan doig. loved it...

Tue. 1/27/09 10:29am From: Anatoly

cripes stingy, a pick pocket lifts your wallet and a peeping tom watches you take a shower.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:30am From: stingy d

close...
a pickpocket snatches watches.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:30am From: stingy d

somehow i feel like that joke works better face to face

Tue. 1/27/09 10:31am From: Bad Ronald

I like it!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:31am From: Ken

Brainwash by Dominic Streafeild, it's a history of brainwashing experiments, by US, Canadian and British military and psychiatric institutions.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:32am From: Anatoly

D'oh!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:33am From: annie

ken i heard that the twins experiments continued in brazil. and some community was created due to that.. just a passing bit of news i saw.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:33am From: stingy d

i told that joke to a porn star and she didn't get it.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:35am From: Bad Ronald

Well, they're not known for having good head...

Tue. 1/27/09 10:35am From: GP

Stingy. Its kind of an older book but I just read:
Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing by Ted Conover. About a journalist who gets a job as a corrections officer at Sing Sing prison just so he could see it from an insiders perspective. Pretty good stuff.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:36am From: GP

Annie,
That is true, I saw that as a news story the other day. They had a photo of about 100 sets of twins as a group photo.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:36am From: still b/p

BR: Should one even say "Rim shot", given the direction of discussion...?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:38am From: paulthepostman

Ken - Brighton UK. Sandwiched between verdant undulating inland downs and very wet sea with octopus and giant man-eating sharks and lemon and lime flavoured jellyfishes and yellow submarines.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:38am From: Parq

Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book" just won the annual Newbery Award. It's targetted at old kids, but his stuff is always a great read.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:38am From: Bad Ronald

Quite apropos...

Tue. 1/27/09 10:39am From: annie

GP-boy does that make me feel better that i am actually perceiving reality and not embedded in a dream!...oh wait, maybe it's the other way around. ..

Tue. 1/27/09 10:39am From: stingy d

i like cranky perverts, but i don't want to read any more bukowski...

Tue. 1/27/09 10:39am From: stingy d

you're perceiving a dream and embedded in reality?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:40am From: Doug from DC

There's "The Counterlife" by Phillip Roth, if you're looking for a novel. Martin Amis once called it the greatest postmodern novel at a reading I attended, and it's definitely a contender.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:41am From: Parq

Crisp's "The Naked Civil Servant" is good libertine crumudgeon stuff.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:41am From: annie

oh read henry miller,stingy!! i actually have moments when i'm not sure if a memory is a dream i had or a time and event from my past.. my brain is changing it's relationship with reality.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:42am From: stingy d

as long as you guys get along it's ok annie

Tue. 1/27/09 10:44am From: GP

Want a reality swap? I have about 500 PDF files to rename, all manually...arrgh. Although if that is the least of my problems, at least I still have work to do.....<knocks on wooden desk>

Tue. 1/27/09 10:44am From: Doug in DC

Yeah, Annie, either of the Tropics or Black Spring.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:44am From: annie

i guess if i were embedded in a safe place, it would be okay. now and then it is very disconcerting.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:45am From: Cecile

stingy - I like Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.
Great photos, nice brief narratives.

Yay, back among the living. I had a balky WMP.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:47am From: stingy d

i think henry miller is my guy. thanks for the help everybody... i hate going into book stores aimlessly. and i will probably go to the strand, and being aimless in there is like trying to induce a panic attack.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:47am From: annie

GP_ i'd love to help you, that kind of stuff is right up my alley. and douig, henry miller could do no bad writing in my opinion..

Tue. 1/27/09 10:48am From: annie

colossus of marrousi ,stingy, is great!!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:50am From: GP

Thanks Annie, as you can tell by my comments I'm not really "focused" on my work right now, but I'll get back to it in a minute...or maybe the minute after that..or maybe when my boss is standing in my doorway.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:51am From: stingy d

he isn't going to make a whole slew of hoity toity references throughout is he?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:51am From: Raf

Polvo. Crazy.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:52am From: stingy d

http://tinyurl.com/hang-in-there-GP

Tue. 1/27/09 10:53am From: annie

stingy, colossus of maroussi is all about greece. it is astounding and a wonderful read, non fiction. and really check out "this house of sky" by ivan doig. memoir of a boy who grew up sheep ranching the the mid-west..

Tue. 1/27/09 10:53am From: paulthepostman

Doug from DC Book Club! - Thanks for the "The Counterlife" mention, I have only read Portnoy's Complaint, (at the tender age of 15). Enjoyed it under the bed sheets!

Tue. 1/27/09 10:55am From: stingy d

alright let's go eat a bagel together.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:55am From: Doug from DC

I started with Tropic of Capricorn, which is backwards in the order of Tropics, but I think it worked better that way. Stingy - he had a way of making any references anti-hoity-toity.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:55am From: Cecile

is this a Fall record, or just lots of Fall samples?

and how come the Fall aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Tue. 1/27/09 10:56am From: annie

word up stingy. if i were near there i would take you up on that.

Tue. 1/27/09 10:58am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:00am From: GP

Ha Ha Stingy....that was good...sorrta like a "missed" stage dive..I'm reminded of that scene in School of Rock where Jack Black does a face plant!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:01am From: Cecile

thanks, jason, I now NEED that record.

MES keeps reinventing himself in a way I like.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:08am From: GP

Does anyone out there have that video game Rock Band?
We have it for the PS2...for the kids of course!...My question is how do you turn up the drum sounds? I'd like to hear more of the drum rather than the sticks hitting the drum pads.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:08am From: fishmonkeystew

Anyone know where to pick up a digital delay/sampler pedal for guitar/bass, cheap? Or an echoplex?

Good morning All!!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:10am From: c

make this noise stop. it is too early for this.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:11am From: GP

Jason,

THanks for this Jarrod Fowler..this sounds like my office!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:11am From: GP

In fact I though my headphones were off for a minute!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:13am From: Doug in DC

I was going to say "oh, no, this song will be in my head all day."

Tue. 1/27/09 11:15am From: Raf

Regarding the digital delay, I'd try musicgoround.com.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:16am From: Cecile

After the cars cover yesterday on Irene's show, and this, I now beseech artists to stop covering 70s Top 40 hits.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:17am From: Cecile

Thin Lizzy deep tracks are another matter entirely.

Does this band have something to do with Coal Chamber...

Tue. 1/27/09 11:19am From: paulthepostman

This could be the next xmas hit in the UK.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:20am From: JJZ

That Baker Street cover was fun.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:20am From: GP

Jason , thanks for this Carnival of Coal...too funny...never though Gerry Raffert had it in him.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:20am From: ?

that last cut totally ripped off the riff from some '80s rock song, can't think of the name...

Tue. 1/27/09 11:21am From: GP

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty

Tue. 1/27/09 11:22am From: Patrick

Is that the way Baker Street ends? It sounds cut off. It was the same way on Brian's marathon premium last year.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:23am From: Sean Daily

This Skulls song has possibly the best title since "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through the Goal Posts of Life" and "Knee My Spirit in the Groin With Your Love, O Lord".

Tue. 1/27/09 11:23am From: stingy d

i left. but i came back. and now i'm here to tell you that i have the "soft and dri" theme song stuck in my head.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:24am From: Jason

i guess the carnival of coal was supposed to cut off? that's the only way i know it

Tue. 1/27/09 11:26am From: stingy d

soft and driiii
woooo0000OOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Tue. 1/27/09 11:28am From: stingy d

also i decided to mop the floor. so i have to wait to have a bagel now. you're still invited.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:32am From: annie

ok stingy, i'll tell you what... i'll let you know when i'm approaching city limits, then we can bagel it..

Tue. 1/27/09 11:33am From: Raf

I think there's one strange Japanese track per episode of Talk's Cheap and I always really dig it.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:33am From: The Log Lady

I'm having a vanilla yogurt, but I'd rather have a bagel.

Jason, what was the website for the Dublab thingy?

Tue. 1/27/09 11:35am From: Jason

intoinfinity.org

Tue. 1/27/09 11:37am From: The Log Lady

Gracias! Mucho coolness! There goes any productivity for the rest of the day...

Tue. 1/27/09 11:44am From: Dominick

Ouch! Pekka has left - right polarity reversal.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:45am From: still b/p

I've had the beginning of Kung Fu Fighting stuck in my head for weeks. Oh-whoa-ho-hohhhhh...
Even if we could trade earworms, like industrial carbon credits, not sure I'd swap mine for Soft and Dri.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:56am From: fishmonkeystew

Thanks, Raf! Sweet site.

Tue. 1/27/09 11:59am From: fishmonkeystew

Hey Raf! I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
