Office-ionados and City Slackers,

Reach for your plastic and get out your ackers,

Forgo the bijou bistro and wanton whisky slappers,

And make that pledge to fmu,

Caus they're all that really matters.

Mon. 3/2/09 3:37pm From: Ike

Mark, do they still put cabbage in absolutely everything in Russia? I visited in 1996 and '97. Food was awful! They even put cabbage on the pizza -- UNDER the cheese so that we couldn't pick it off. не хорошо!

Mon. 3/2/09 3:52pm From: stingy d

you cud sonnet dem dodo brains. i'ma say to them how is there problems are. dey gonna feel dumb dumbed. open dem ass pockicks!!

Mon. 3/2/09 3:53pm From: Mark

Ike. I think you must have been unlucky with the cabbage thing. Even in 96 things were a long way from the Soviet times of grim eating (if you eat out at least, though maybe home coocking retains more of those old fashioned styles). Maybe you were far from the big western Russian cities, or eating in with locals a lot. But still things have moved on a lot more since 96/97, so now pizzas, and much else, are just like in any western country, and all over the place, and all kinds, and tasty and delivered quick and hot and supermarkets and restaurants provide much of what you'd be used to in the US, or wherever. Though it's still not as totally saturated with stuff and full of all the very little comforts and pleasures of the west. Even a lot of eating places are better here than in the west, because they try to do things in their own individual and cool way, so a 'boho' cafe has its own chefs and dishes, which can be really nice and exotic, instead of the generic fare of developed countries. Lots of young, cool places in Moscow and St.Petersburg these days, basically booming and growing since about 2000 (even loads of western bands are getting here these days) so cabbage no longer a necessity. Wholly avoidable. Скажи нет капусте!

Mon. 3/2/09 3:54pm From: Kenneth

Is there anywhere to see the tracklist for this year's Premium CD? Already great to see Alessi's Ark on it.

Mon. 3/2/09 3:54pm From: stingy d

Mon. 3/2/09 3:56pm From: postmanpaul

cabbages accepted.

Mon. 3/2/09 3:57pm From: stingy d

you heard the man! pop them cabbages gold tooth!

Mon. 3/2/09 4:00pm From: Glenn L

Stingy d's linguistics have really gone freeform!

Mon. 3/2/09 4:03pm From: Malcolm

I liked the Alessi's Ark track.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:03pm From: stingy d

i just spell it like it is.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:08pm From: postmanpaul

irene - how nice to catch alessi again. fond memories of that show. is not she lovely?

Mon. 3/2/09 4:18pm From: Cecile

I hate to be all "asky", but Irene, do you have a recording of that beautiful cover of "Row Fisherman Row" I think I Micah Blue Smaldone did?

Mon. 3/2/09 4:18pm From: stingy d

falconberry... some name huh pigs? pledge a pledge.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:20pm From: fine tune

Dana Falconberry tune - a real treat

Mon. 3/2/09 4:24pm From: Carmichael

Cecile, make Ken ask her, he he he ......

Mon. 3/2/09 4:30pm From: Cecile

Like he's going to listen to me. I just own him.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:31pm From: marathon veteran

Kenneth, since no one else is answering your question, I'll step up to the plate. I've never seen a list like you're asking about. This is one of the advantages of not making your CD selections until the marathon is over. Everybody plays a couple of tracks from his or her premium, and a year hardly goes by when I don't decide that something sounds more interesting (or less) than it did on paper.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:31pm From: stingy d

night people need adoption. them fellers need parents.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:33pm From: Michele

Thanks Irene for your great show! It's the first time I listen to it, but from now on I'll keep on tuning in to your show. Great music! Love it!
Michele (Antwerp - Belgium)

Mon. 3/2/09 4:33pm From: Parq

I can't believe no one's adopted Spazz yet. Wish I had a spare room . . .

Mon. 3/2/09 4:34pm From: stingy d

i hereby adopt night people and rename them dave thoreau and andy perlich.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:35pm From: Carmichael

Michele, isn't it getting to be past your bedtime way over there? Just wondering.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:36pm From: stingy d

dave is now related to big bank hank david, and andy's new brother is max.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:39pm From: Carmichael

If I was a night person, I would adopt Mr. Fine Wine. Not enough dubloons to go around, unfortunately.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:43pm From: stingy d

irene, if i'm not mistaken you had lacrymosa and alessi's ark on your show the same day, no? i like lacrymosa more betta, she exudes many fewer elf-blood vibes. thats important to me.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:44pm From: Kenneth

Thanks mv, I may just do that as I'm torn between a couple of them (Irene's and Pseu's) this year.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:52pm From: Carmichael

Great choice of music, you two. I really like this stuff. Reminds me of good 'ol Davey Graham.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:54pm From: tejo

hi Irene...a wonderful show....!!...would be wonderful if you could play one of our latest CD s Monkey Zoo fomr the band Hookerman....cheers ..***

Mon. 3/2/09 4:55pm From: Carmichael

Scott Walker sings some wonderful Jacques Brel. Or wonderfully sings Jacques Brel.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:56pm From: stingy d

if anyone gives out the scott walker record that has his cover of "no regrets" can i call dibs? unless it's a walker brothers record. in wich case i got dibs on THAT one.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:59pm From: Carmichael

Hay Zeus Stingy, do you and I actually have something in common? I'm all goofy in the head over Walker/Brothers.

Mon. 3/2/09 4:59pm From: stingy d

its tough to berate when this softy music gets played. how about you play that sun o))) record you promised at the start of the show, huh?

Mon. 3/2/09 5:00pm From: stingy d

oh, yes definitely carmike. i'm big on them walkers.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:07pm From: Carmichael

If a Scott Walker tune is offered somewhere in that mess o' records, I'll re-pledge.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:10pm From: stingy d

i have not received my confimration email... is that an issue?

Mon. 3/2/09 5:11pm From: Cecile

Stingy, I want that Walker Bros record, too.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:12pm From: Carmichael

You too? Ya! Glad to see a world full of Scott Walker fans.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:12pm From: stingy d

alright thats three people, i bet you guys could start a wfmu biddign war auction jam, if someone puts up a walker (brothers) record.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:12pm From: marathon veteran

Stingy, if you pledge on line, they're computer generated. If you pledge by phone, they have to be hand processed.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:14pm From: stingy d

hey vet. yea i pledged online... a while back.... maybe 2 hours ago.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:17pm From: C

Hope you got to check out Lambchop on the current tour. It was really unforgettable.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:18pm From: stingy d

well... i'm gonna go see if i know anyone who is hungry. thanks for the discourse everyone... i'll try to do some more berating later on. bye!

Mon. 3/2/09 5:19pm From: mar vet

Hmm, not sure. My unofficial advice: if you haven't gotten it by the end of this shift, shoot Joe McGasko an email from the link on the homepage.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:21pm From: Cecile

don't forget the harangueing, either, stingy!

Mon. 3/2/09 5:22pm From: Parq

Sigh. As a 50-something geezer, I can't help but be amused by kids who think 20 is old.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:26pm From: Carmichael

I was old the 1st time I heard this song.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:27pm From: stingy d

thanks marathonian, you bet cecile, i'm 10 yeals ode. adios chumachos

Mon. 3/2/09 5:27pm From: Olaf

stingy: I pledged online too, and Gmail qualified the receipt as spam. So check your spam folder.

Mon. 3/2/09 5:30pm From: stingy d
