Mon. 3/9/09 12:05pm From: Pearly Sweets

Boogaloo time!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:05pm From: annie ...

great tee!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:07pm From: Cecile

great tee-shirt!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:07pm From: Carmichael

Hi Liz! Play some money-pledgin' music!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:07pm From: Kenzo

I couldn't wait to hear your show today so I listened yesterday. I will be pledging in support of a Future Archives page. If we make the goal this year, I tell you, anything is possible. I will start by going back in time to tell my earlier self about this idea.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:08pm From: Sean Daily

Eighth comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:09pm From: dc pat

THIS SONG RULES! Her voice is nuts!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:09pm From: Sara

if Yara Family isn't money-pledgin' music, I don't know what is

Mon. 3/9/09 12:10pm From: Ike

DC Pat, you asked about Burmese restaurants in the D.C. area. Check out Mandalay in Silver Spring. Or, if it's still there, Myanmar Rest. in Falls Church. Also, Google Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide, which is an amazing resource.

Kenzo, when back in time, be careful not to accidentally kill your own grandfather visiting the 21st century in his own time machine before going back to his own time to have a family.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:11pm From: annie

ike, that made me dizzy

Mon. 3/9/09 12:12pm From: Carmichael

Ya! We're gettin' the full Southeast Asian music fest today. Some Sri Lanka Rock would complete the circle.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:13pm From: trent

HEY GUYS COME ON give Liz your $$ u know u want it. and you want this fucking awesome DENGUE FEVER disc !!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:14pm From: Jorge

awesome track by Dengue Fever, By the way Liz Olivier from Barbes told me that these guys will be touring Peru very soon, dammed i wish i was on my potatoland now.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:16pm From: dc pat

Ike: oh, you mean in the suburbs...that means I'll have to get into a car and drive...Thanks, I'll look into Mandalay

HOLY Crap! I've been sick with fever over the last couple days and woke up with the words "Dengue Fever" in my head this morning--couldn't figure out why. Now makes sense.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:18pm From: Sean Daily

Oh, you'd know if you had dengue fever, dc pat. I believe "dengue" translates to something along the lines of "breaking bones", it's that painful.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:18pm From: Hugo

I believe I've got it. A window table at the Foreign Correspondents Club in downtown Phnom Penh, overlooking the river, that's life in the tropics!

http://www.fcccambodia.com/phnom_penh/

Mon. 3/9/09 12:18pm From: Ike

Also, Kenzo, if you go back in time, be sure to tape all of William Berger's and Crowe's and Margaret's shows from the '90s and put them up in the archives.

Hmmm, now I want to try a Cambodian restaurant.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:19pm From: Kenzo

dc pat: It's because your future self pledged and won the Dengue Fever prize which changed your life in profoundly positive ways but you realized you never would have done it if you hadn't gone back in time to tell your past self to pledge to get in the running, so you went back and told yourself, and accidentally gave yourself a futuristic strain of disease in the process. Everyone, pledge $ to WFMU so we can help save dc pat and the world.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:19pm From: frenchee

Hi Trent, I just pledged!

I love this NUMOUW or whatever it's called...

Mon. 3/9/09 12:20pm From: still b/p

Wack to the future.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:20pm From: dc pat

Yeah Sean, I'm not complaining--just noting the coincidence.

Al-fuckin-right Kenzo, I'll pledge...again...

Mon. 3/9/09 12:20pm From: mb

This Numuw brought much joy to my workday all year. Time to pay. Thanks Liz Bee.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:21pm From: Parq

If anyone can do it, Kenzo can. And after a while, we'll all be wondering why all the radio stations don't do it. The other stations will, of course, remain clueless.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:21pm From: trent

cool thanks frenchee!!! i think it's pronounced QM-LZ9PN-R

Mon. 3/9/09 12:21pm From: Parq

I would totally have bought that shirt if I'd seen it last summer.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:22pm From: annie

now THIS is cleaning out the mudroom music!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:22pm From: frenchee

I had a dream last week that I traveled back in time via an elevator.
You could select the time you wanted by pressing the elevator buttons.
I chose 1955 first, then 1968. Was that Kenzo I saw in 1968??

Mon. 3/9/09 12:23pm From: Parq

Annie, most of us at work are cleaning out the mudroom in one sense or another.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:24pm From: annie

ooohhh, i love metaphor.. it jump-starts my brain..be sure to wear the extra tall muck boots parq!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:25pm From: Pearly Sweets

Liz is turning Kenny G on us.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:28pm From: JoeSteele

Ah jeez, I want that shirt. Here I go again.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:30pm From: Jorge

ok Jean Pierre Massiera is on my top listening list nowadays so here we go too

Mon. 3/9/09 12:33pm From: postmanpaul

WFMU TUNED ME ON!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:33pm From: trent

this song rules am i right guys?

Mon. 3/9/09 12:34pm From: Jorge

the Barracuda track ? yeah it fuzzzing rules

Mon. 3/9/09 12:34pm From: Carmichael

Possibly.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:35pm From: Kenzo

If you pledge now, then go back in time and pledge again...it'll be just like the loopy Locked Groove LP you'll get for making a $30.42/month pledge!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:35pm From: Liz B.

Thanks for the pledges, everybody! Keep on bringing the green, TONS of great prizes today!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:47pm From: bw

my fav neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooo
ooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:51pm From: bw

I AM A BORING GROWN UP- hah
just pledged for that -

Mon. 3/9/09 12:51pm From: dc pat

oh. so I guess I don't have dngue fever....

Okay, Ike and other NYCers--the dc pats are coming up to New Yawk in couple of weeks, where should we eat? Manhattan, Lil' Italy, veggie?

Mon. 3/9/09 12:55pm From: Jorge

did they already give the Massiera record ? haha

Mon. 3/9/09 12:57pm From: Cecile

My least favorite SY song. But thanks to SY for being so generous.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:58pm From: Joshua K

Would love to keep listening but I have work tonight and need sleep. Bummers.

Mon. 3/9/09 12:58pm From: trent

yes jorge. i'm sorry that we couldn't deliver the prize into your hot hands! next time!!

Mon. 3/9/09 12:59pm From: dc pat

I gotta say, SY is not aging well with me. I still like the old noisy stuff, but...

Mon. 3/9/09 1:00pm From: Jorge

no probs trent, is always an honor just to pledge, thanks for answering

Mon. 3/9/09 1:00pm From: Cecile

I like their weird mid-90s records that nobody liked. I think Washing Maching and A Thousand Leaves are really underrated.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:00pm From: Pearly Sweets

Yeah. I feel the same way about SY. But on the right day, with the right ears on....

Mon. 3/9/09 1:00pm From: G

Ooo, the Mag Fields' hommage CD to the Jesus and Mary Chain...!

Mon. 3/9/09 1:02pm From: Cecile

specially Washing Machine Cecile, i love that record and was my first SY show in Tampa lol, supporting Pearl Jam ...that was weird actually

Mon. 3/9/09 1:02pm From: Joshua K

Washing machine is still my favorite sonic youth song ever even though my favorite album has always been daydream nation

Mon. 3/9/09 1:03pm From: trent

oh man there are so many good prizes up right now. i think i'm just going to steal them and take them home instead of letting you guys have them. cool?

Mon. 3/9/09 1:04pm From: dc pat

I just think Death Valley 69 kills everything else.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:05pm From: sAndy

dang, that magnetic fields had radass producin'

Mon. 3/9/09 1:05pm From: Jorge

hahaha cecile have a stunt here....im sorry cecile that what's me on the sonic youth tampa washing machine post

Mon. 3/9/09 1:05pm From: Cecile

Yes, and the single on Iridescence with Lydia Lunch is the primo version.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:05pm From: JoeSteele

Did you know there was a lizberg.com and it's totally not you?

Mon. 3/9/09 1:06pm From: Cecile

washing machine is hilarious.
It's a total Patti Smith parody, it's just like her stage raps.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:06pm From: dc pat

Right on Cecile. *holding hand up for high 5* ..................... Don't leave me hangin'...

Mon. 3/9/09 1:08pm From: JoeSteele

Mario is the man.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:08pm From: Cecile

*high-five*

Mon. 3/9/09 1:10pm From: dc pat

thanks C.

Not to sound like Ike or anything but, Liz thanks for saying "whole other" instead of "whole nuther"

Mon. 3/9/09 1:11pm From: annie

saw a great doc last night "abel raised cain" fun fun fun

Mon. 3/9/09 1:15pm From: annie

see i thought that the reverb would go up each time a pledge came in... therefore by the end of your show we would barely be able to hear you.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:17pm From: gerardo

hola a todos! :)

wow, it seems that time's a-changin' (the show started earlier, according to chilean time)

Mon. 3/9/09 1:19pm From: JoeSteele

We silly Americans all set our clocks ahead over the weekend.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:20pm From: annie

silly americans, it all started with germany though. called it"war time"

Mon. 3/9/09 1:21pm From: JoeSteele

That sounds cooler. It's War Time baby!

Mon. 3/9/09 1:21pm From: Parq

DC pat, if you want local restaurant tips, you're gonna have to get a whole lot more specific about neighborhood preferences, price range, cuisine preferences. I hardly ever eat out and I could name a couple dozen places city wide without trying hard.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:22pm From: gerardo

saturday 14, midnite is the time for "war time" here ;)

liz, is it my impression or you've just impersonated yoko ono? . if so, combine some reverb, delay and echo - that will become "liz berg/plastic bergy band"

Mon. 3/9/09 1:25pm From: dc pat

Start namin' Parq--I'm looking at midtown and little Italy. Just fishing for favorite gems. I don't care about cuisine, as long as it's good. We're veggies but any restaurant has veggie items.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:25pm From: Ike

Parq is right. But, two important points: Little Italy = tourist trap = avoid. And if you like Thai then you must go to Sripraphai in Woodside, Queens. It's a revelation. (Although down there, Thai Square in Arlington is perhaps equally good.)

Mon. 3/9/09 1:27pm From: dc pat

yeah, I know about lil' Italy, but we're going to be down there anyway. I just mean near there. We ain't getting out to Queens I know.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:29pm From: Ike

You're missing out. Queens is fascinating and has the best food in NYC.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:29pm From: dc pat

thanks for Thai Square, I'll check 'er out. Sorry I'll stop dominating comments...just slip me a name if you have one...

Mon. 3/9/09 1:30pm From: dc pat

Ike , I know! It's amazing there. Was up there 2 years ago.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:30pm From: Pearly Sweets

I like the republic in union square. Great noodles. I also like "the burger joint", which is seriously hidden in the le parker meridien.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:30pm From: annie

hey pat it's all about domination here,

Mon. 3/9/09 1:31pm From: Kenzo

For vegetarian, I especially recommend Angelica Kitchen (E. 12th betw. 1st & 2nd Aves.), and Souen (macrobiotic, also serves fish), E. 13th betw. 5th Ave. & University Pl.). Both have delicious and especially healthy food, both have been around a few decades.

Midtown and good vegetarian food don't mix.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:31pm From: Pearly Sweets

The burger joint is even hidden on the le parker meridien website. I like to think that it is the owner's third cousin and he won a bet or something. Still great food.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:32pm From: gerardo

(out to lunch - be back soon ;) )

Mon. 3/9/09 1:33pm From: Ike

Buddha Bodai on Mott St. has really good vegan food, and I'm not even vegan or vegetarian.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:34pm From: Jon-paul

"What is this a nuclear Saturday or sumthin?"

Mon. 3/9/09 1:34pm From: dc pat

Thanks Kenzo, I hit Angelica's and Candle Cafe last time. Ike: Thanks for BB, never been there.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:35pm From: Dave

Wow! Where can I find this Cyndi Lauper 8 bit version of "The Goonies are Good Enough?"

And the video is spectacular with the 80's WWF Superstars.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:35pm From: nasok

chinatown, my chinatown
DIM SUM best time to go is around 1130, never past 1
GOLDEN BRIDGE you can see the bridge! and they have things besides pork at the fry table.
NICE GREEN BO try the shanghai cold dishes like kau fu and bamboo shoots
LITTLE LADS crazy vegan buffet in basement of marble building on broadway near wall st. run by seventh day adventists. full of "onanistic shut-ins". but very good.
DOYERS VIETNAMESE underground (literally) vietnamese palce, all fresh
i could go on...

Mon. 3/9/09 1:36pm From: Pearly Sweets

Dave, though the actual 8-bit might require a download. The Advantage released a version on one of their 5RC albums.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:37pm From: Parq

Theater district (not sure what part of midtown, so throwing it out) has a fine Irish pub, Playwright Tavern on 49th twixt Broadway and Seventh (around the corner from where Mama Mia is playing) and John's Pizza, very good vegetarian possibilities, beautiful interior (former historic church) on 45th twixt BW and 8th, down the street from the Nokia concert hall and Schubert Alley. For dessert in the theater district, on 46th off Shub Alley, Junior's Cheesecake, yeah it's a tourist trap but you know you want to.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:39pm From: Dave

Thanx Pearly Sweets!

Mon. 3/9/09 1:43pm From: dc pat

Holy SHIT! Walk away for one second! I'm going to have to pause the auto-update..

Mon. 3/9/09 1:43pm From: Parq

If you've got your heart set on Little Italy, Florio's on Grand off Mulberry doesn't suck.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:44pm From: dc pat

not really "heart set" just going to be there -- tenement museum

Mon. 3/9/09 1:49pm From: dc pat

thanks commenters. Liz, reverb is good

Mon. 3/9/09 1:50pm From: Golden Sours

You should reverb the songs too. Everything needs reverb.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:51pm From: Kenzo

I think Little Lads Basket closed a couple of years ago. I haven't been to Buddha Bodai but I think it's yet another glutenous mock meat Asian place. The city's becoming awash in those. I think someone went back in time and told everyone to make more.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:51pm From: Carmichael

Jesus Christ, I'm hungry now ....

Mon. 3/9/09 1:55pm From: Hugo

Speaking of Thai, one of my fave places is the Sala Rim Naam restaurant at the Oriental in Bangkok. Whenever we had visitors, we would have a drink or two at the Verandah, take the hotel boat across the river and have dinner at the Sala Rim Naam, usually on the outside terrace. Recommended if you are in the area. Bangkok also boasts one of the largest outdoor restaurants anywhere. Waiters use roller skates to get around!

http://www.mandarinoriental.com/bangkok/

Mon. 3/9/09 1:55pm From: dc pat

mmmmm....fake meat...

Mon. 3/9/09 1:57pm From: Cecile

I love vegan Asian (even though I'm an omnivore) and I love the Vivian Girls.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:58pm From: Carmichael

Also, as a strange coincidence yesterday my iPod spit out a song called "Daylight Savings Time" by Sandie Edmonds. It came off a collection called Kiwi Gold, Vol 4.

It was awful, and I enjoyed it very much.

Mon. 3/9/09 1:59pm From: trent

hey you guys can we get a what's up for taht great transition liz did out of lixie mountain boys into this song? and maybe a $5000 pledge?

Mon. 3/9/09 1:59pm From: dc pat

52's! Nice, Liz!

Mon. 3/9/09 1:59pm From: Cecile

whee! B-52s!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:00pm From: Parq

Big doings just outside my office door, so turning it up cautiously, but turning it up for the Vivs and the B-Fifs, you bet.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:01pm From: JoeSteele

My screwy radio will only pick up FMU if I keep my hand planted firmly on top of it.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:02pm From: Cecile

I bought Ken.
Now if you can throw in some kind of enormous incentive, I might think about pledging again.

It has be really big. Bigger than a damn booze cruise.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:02pm From: dc pat

now play the Boredoms 52 boredom

Mon. 3/9/09 2:03pm From: Cecile

Nah, I didn't think so...

Mon. 3/9/09 2:03pm From: Ike

Hugo, I loved Bangkok, but I don't think I ate at ANY "real" restaurants b/c there are so many great food stalls and street joints *everywhere*. Ahhh, street som tum!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:04pm From: nate

BERG IS THE WORD!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:04pm From: Cecile

We have a place that serves some of the tom sum here now as appetizers.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:06pm From: Cecile

Yay, janice! Minnesota in the house!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:07pm From: Golden Sours

Oot oot oot oot oot

Mon. 3/9/09 2:08pm From: Parq

Liz's bro digs this kind of music? I'm jealous; my sis thinks "Fantasia" is too avant garde.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:08pm From: bw

my guicciiii comes from canal street

Mon. 3/9/09 2:09pm From: Cecile

bohwt cohwt gohwt sloat

Mon. 3/9/09 2:09pm From: Golden Sours

I hope it is space age love song covered

Mon. 3/9/09 2:10pm From: Golden Sours

Drats and darns

Mon. 3/9/09 2:12pm From: trent

this song is awesome

Mon. 3/9/09 2:15pm From: Golden Sours

Keep it skipping and add more reverb!!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:16pm From: Carmichael

Damn, I missed Fred Schneider ... >:(

You should hear him sing Lime in the Coconut. It's a thing of beauty.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:22pm From: nasok

i don't know about basket, but the little lads bakery was in the basement of 120 broadway when i went there a week ago. $5 for a heaping plate and soup.
bodhai buddha has the most heart-stopping veggie dim sum out there. the "snails" are deep-fried mushrooms the size of your fist. i took fam there for t-day b'fast and they could hardly get down the tofurkey later in the day...

Mon. 3/9/09 2:23pm From: JoeSteele

I dig the Mario progression.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:23pm From: Anhelo

that indang pariaman song is the most sublime thing ever <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mon. 3/9/09 2:28pm From: Kenzo

Awesome, thanks for the Little Lads tip. Wish it had been there when I worked right there. Let's all have a food party on Liz's playlist.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:30pm From: bw

leader of the pack

Mon. 3/9/09 2:30pm From: gerardo

i'm back - just in time for the food party! ;)

Mon. 3/9/09 2:30pm From: gerardo

we luv wwwwwwfffffmmmmmuuuuuuu.....

Mon. 3/9/09 2:31pm From: jon

fabulous! more reverb! broadcast into forever!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:32pm From: GP

Just got a new audio card, chip, thingy, do dad, whatever, for my work PC, the other one went out and I had to get our IT guys to fixit...was suffering FMU withdrawl especially after donating....the possibilities of not hearing FMU again....shudder.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:33pm From: gerardo

(cecile, where are you?; jorge, ¿cómo andamos?; sebastián, anda por ahí, cumpa?...)

i go for trent/liz berg/plastic bergy band!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:33pm From: SmallyBiggs

You really do scare my co-workers off, lol! But I love WFMU, thats why I pledged :)

Mon. 3/9/09 2:33pm From: JoeSteele

Times New Viking! Very nice.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:34pm From: annie

gp- thought you dropped out of sight forever!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:36pm From: GP

No, you still have to put up with me ; ) Just a bit temporarily technically challenged.
The day after I donated, my sound card went out...an omen perhaps, but methinks it could not handle the AWESOMENESS of FMU!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:36pm From: gerardo

JoeSteele: I spent my whole teens doing what you do to listen to 'fmu with the local radios i loved - none of them survived in terms of their original concept

Mon. 3/9/09 2:38pm From: JoeSteele

It's just this crappy WalMart radio in my office. The one at home does just fine.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:41pm From: still b/p

GP's sound card experienced la petit mort....'cuz, you know...well, WFMU, hey...

Mon. 3/9/09 2:42pm From: Mr. Two-Arms

This is a fantastic cover!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:42pm From: gerardo

i see..

in my case, it was mostly poor signal due to poor transmitter power

Mon. 3/9/09 2:42pm From: Jeff M

My, that's squonky.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:44pm From: still b/p

Mah baby does the squonky skronky.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:44pm From: Parq

This Psych HS track is one of my faves from the FMA disc. And yes, Liz, you're right, and I think that's why it's a fave.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:46pm From: gerardo

(vicki: we're still waiting for your reply... ;) )

Mon. 3/9/09 2:52pm From: dc pat

you have to bleep out "like to come"???

Mon. 3/9/09 2:54pm From: Liz B.

Sadly, the FCC considers that kind of stuff obscene.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:58pm From: dc pat

pathetic...thanks for playing though.

Mon. 3/9/09 2:59pm From: dc pat

WE INVENTED PUNK ROCK!!!! EAT IT, ENGLAND!

Mon. 3/9/09 2:59pm From: JoeSteele

I love the end, "England steals all the credit and thats how it goes."

Mon. 3/9/09 3:01pm From: postmanpaul

i'm not getting involved.

Mon. 3/9/09 3:02pm From: dan in oakland
