Joe Steele:
Buenos Lunes. | |

Mon. 5/18/09 9:05am
annie:
be forewarned, i am banging the drum this week for an equal-time tribute to utah phillips. greatly underappreciated, yet very vital and important part of our cultural history | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:07am
annie:
.........just sayin.... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:09am

go annie go!!!! | |

Mon. 5/18/09 9:12am
annie:
i'll try hard not to be overly annoying, striving towards cloyingly sweet | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:16am
Parq:
Yesterday at noon, was in one of those upstate small towns taken over by the artsy set. It's one of those towns that still have noon whistles. I was reminded of that Robert Klein bit about how sirens otherwise meant a nuclear attack, and he used to wonder, what if they bombed at noon? The "fifth column" reference got me musing. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:18am
bw:
I heard a siren test the other day and thought a similar thing we live in different times now | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:19am
annie:
funny, that, parq. i was in walton for the day and around two oclock the fire horn blew an alarm three separate times.. 5-1-1. made me wonder what the code was.. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:21am
dc pat:
yeah, stardust! way to start the week... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:21am
BSI:
sirens, eh? I read something last week about NORAD doing late-night test-flights & aerial manoevers over DC soon, so we've got our paranoia underwear out of the fridge & ready for action...... Bring on the Black Airships of the Apocalypse! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:22am
dc pat:
in Glover Park in DC sometimes I hear this low moan of a "siren" over toward Georgetown. I have no idea what it is and it freaks me out. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:23am
dc pat:
cool BSI... did you ever see/hear a "stealth" bomber flying over our fair colony? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:25am
BSI:
DCP: not so far, praise Allah. ... All the 'stealth bombers' I need are waiting for me at Ben's Chili Bowl... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:25am
annie:
growing up on long island, there was an airport or something near us and on some nights a sweeping searchlight would splay across the sky over and over. it scared the bejeebers out of me... took me a long to to not be afraid of that. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:26am
dc pat:
funny thing is, those motherfuckers are loud and scary....not very stealthy | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:27am
Joe Steele:
Ah yes, the cruel, totalitarian justice of Stardust. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:28am
Joe Steele:
I grew up across the street from a prison. Sirens meant escape. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:28am
Cecile:
mornin' all. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:28am
Chad:
Anyone else hear a siren in South WIliamsburg/Bed-Stuy a few times a wek? I always thought it was a lunch whistle or something but now I think it sounds too crazy for that. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:32am
cornertavern:
This is an awesome solo version of this song. wow. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:32am
Parq:
Okay, I'm stumped - someone remind me who had the 70s hit with this "Borderline" song. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:32am
BSI:
Approx. age 5, we had an apartment just a few doors down from a civil defense air-raid-type siren which did regular tests -- Being that close, was fascinating as a kid to listen to the thing wind all the way down, that last descent to barely-audible, almost sub-bass silence... Oddly beautiful noise. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:34am
Cecile:
Madonna, parq | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:35am
Devin:
Mernin' ya'll's | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:36am
annie:
well, i saw "the soloist"..... i could not stop the tears, it was awful and beautiful.... and i mean that in the best of ways... the music was incredible. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:37am
Parq:
No way, really? Yep, I just looked it up. Sorry I doubted you, but I would have bet money that was a mid-70s song. Ah, my mushy memory. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:38am
Parq:
McGinty and White are doing a webcast on East Village Radio tonight. Just a plug, I'm a fan of Joe's. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:40am
Cecile:
Her first record, and get into the groove had her best songs on it. After that, not so much. That's just me, though. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:42am
annie:
i admired madonna for her gutsy music for a long time, not so much now. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:43am
dc pat:
before we get to far into this may I just say that Madonna has absolutely no meaning to me at all...I just do not care about her or her music...that's it. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:44am
bw:
i remember bein on the school bus in the 7th grade and some kids had madona in playboy - there was something really scarey about how this dude was into the pictures.. and I just didn't think they were so hot! I got called GAY!!! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:44am
annie:
those stupid costumes, though..... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:45am
Parq:
I mostly dug Madonna for her personal independence -- she was the only female popstar I knew of who wasn't being controlled by a "producer" or "manager" who was actually her boyfriend or husband. And I gotta admit, her "Blonde Ambition" persona was totally hot. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:45am
Bad Ronald:
I liked her dunce-cap brassiere. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:47am
karao:
morning all, morning bw! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:48am
BSI:
bw: I had a similar experience, but the mag in question was High Society, w/Jodie Foster pictorial (1981ish?).. It was like watching feral demons fighting over a kill... Somehow I wasn't impressed, which spells social DOOM for a 7th grader! Explains everything! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:50am
PMD:
Morning! Nice music! now I'm back to work. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:51am
annie:
parq, word up.. i loved "vogue". she continually redefined herself. "who's that girl", her early movies, etc... she just had fun with music and her liberating talent. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:53am
zoot:
Gosh, for me it was Lily Langtry in a penny dreadful. She sure did have a well-turned ankle. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:56am
dc pat:
yeah but can't you say the same thing about some one like Wendy O. Williams? at least she was interesting. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:57am
dc pat:
or better yet the amazing Ari Up. In my mind, she's WAY more important than Madonna. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 9:59am
BSI:
VIVA TRASH HUMPER! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:01am
Cecile:
I think you can find inspiration in all kind of things. I mean I revere Mark E. Smith, Steve Lacy and Ronnie James Dio | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:03am
holland oats:
this is quite mad you know | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:04am
Parq:
Zoot, pictures of Lilly, Lilly oh Lilly! Pat, wasn't there a boyfriend behind Wendy O? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:06am
Cecile:
I think it's interesting that men getting assistance from women is nothing to wriite about, but if a man helps out a woman in her career however innocently or not, it instantly negates whatever talent she may have. Help is help. we all get help. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:07am
Cecile:
rant over. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:08am
bw:
MIA??? what to think about this? http://twitter.com/_M_I_A_ | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:11am
dc pat:
Parq: Don' t know about that--I just think if we're talking inspiring, revolutionary women, who gives a shit about Madonna? Her music blows. Oh yeah, M.I.A, now there's a rockin woman! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:13am
dc pat:
wow, M.I.A. is an Orioles fan?? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:14am
annie:
thank god for comic-book science!! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:18am
bw:
1030 we gonna talk to the dude who put this together http://flavorpill.com/newyork/events/2009/5/20/steve-mcqueen any steve Mcqueen fans out there? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:19am
dc pat:
oh yeah, McQueen rules. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:22am
BSI:
Steve McQueen was the schnizzit. Whatever that means. Hell, even Love With A Perfect Stranger was decent, despite the lack of car chases and mutually assured destruction... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:22am
bw:
whoops - better link here: http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/mcqueen.html | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:29am
Parq:
'Cile, getting help is one thing, being controlled is another. It irks me when a female popstar is marketed as a tough, think-for-herself role model for pre-teen girls, and the truth is that she can't have breakfast without her "producer" getting up from his side of the bed to tell her what to order. And when a woman controls a man to that degree, it *is* big news, the obvious example being Nancy Reagan. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:30am
Parq:
Answering rant over. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:31am
annie:
i love the comments section :) | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:34am
Cecile:
The first part I agree with you. M*** C*** is way more honest than Avril Lavigne. (I don't like either of their music, but that's neither here nor there.) The second part, hmmmm, it's a lot more prevalent, just less publicized than you think. Rebuttal with qualifications over. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:37am
cornertavern:
@Parq re: the "grrl" female pop star that can't order breakfast for herself... I'll coin a term for it: "bland ambition" pun interjection over... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:38am
trish:
Portrayal of women in media is just as errant as portrayal as men in media. It's the portrayal that betrays the individual, whoever they are? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 10:40am
trish:
er, 'portrayal OF men' | |
|

Mon. 5/18/09 10:55am

stardust is kind of a dick | |

Mon. 5/18/09 10:55am

their myspace page is in Japanese. They're playing w/ Deerhoof somewhere at some point--that should be good... | |

Carmichael:
The loyal youth of the country all seem so happy .... | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:07am
Parq:
Ben, thanks so much for the "Stardust" series, in which each new plot is more preposterous than the last. And what is it with this guy and flinging unprotected bad guys into outer space? DC and Marvel superheros never engaged in mass slaughter. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:09am
Carmichael:
Cecile, I just read that the FOTC are playing UC Berkeley next month. Are they on tour? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:09am

2 weeks from now my guest will be Paul Karasik who put TWO stardust books together! | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:11am
Cecile:
Oh, yes. Saw them in Minneapolis about 2 weeks ago. Just amazing. The venue security/ushers? not so much | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:12am
Joe Steele:
He's sending children into battle!? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:13am

he is SUCH a tool. | |

Then I must go see them. And I shall beware of evil ushers. | |

Stardust:
*causes Cecile and Joe to rise helplessly into the air* | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:18am
Cecile:
there's a lot of interplay, and dry humor, and they tweak the songs a lot. THey also usually have someone comically fantastic opening for them. We saw Eugene Mirman who was so damn funny we were exhausted by the third joke. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:18am
Devin:
Urichipangoon's buddy, Oorutaichi, was on Liz Bergs show a couple months ago. Good stuff. | |

Cecile:
me and joe are our own gang | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:22am
Joe Steele:
We probably couldn't even assemble peacefully against Stardust's Stalin-esqe tactics. He'd turn us into space worms and feed us to the flaming superhawks from Jupiter. | |

I wou7ld pee myself if I saw a bunch of blond american boys comin my way with superpowers!!! | |

RW:
Is that Urichipangoon track from a specific album? Loved it. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:27am
Cecile:
giving a blitzkrieg indeed And Joe, the cruelest part is that being spaceworms, we couldn't give the finger to our raptor devourer at the last minute, like the little mouse does on the tee shirt. | |

the cd is called GIANT CLUB | |

Say what! I need to see this t-shirt, Cecile. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:29am
Parq:
Ben, re 11:11 post -- I think I'm going to have to take that morning off and stay home to listen to that show. And I gotta hip my comic-book-maven daughter to this whole thing. 'Cile, I'm psyched, I won the FOTC 1st-season dvd from DJ Trouble last 'thon. | |

Mon. 5/18/09 11:31am

Jeez, has anyone ever done a body count for a Stardust adventure? | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:32am

The claymation Coraline was amazing. | |

Flaming Superhawks from Jupiter = GNFA 12-member a capella hillbilly bop mob in mylar neckties. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:38am
Parq:
As Ben is pointing out, they kind of insulted the auidence by adding a "boy saves the day for the hapless girl" ending. Other than that, I dug it, but not nearly as much as Wall-E or Ratatouile, or (my fave Pixar) Monstsers Inc. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:38am
Cecile:
actually the movie Coraline scared the crap out of the under 8s in the audience. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:39am
Ike:
Yeah, the Coraline movie was astonishingly good. Adapting it into a play seems like a bizarre idea though. | |

speaking of swag.... have they all gone out? i await a cd from trouble's show.. | |

Bill W:
I'm pretty sure no one involved with the Coraline musical sees it going to Broadway, but I'd love to see The Garbage Fondler musical. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:41am
Cecile:
Gaiman actually said they added a friend for Coraline because Coraline doing it on screen by herself was not as good visual storytelling. He was completely fine with it. | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:42am
bw:
well - I think she could have done the story without the lame boy add on but other than that I did like the movie | |
|
Mon. 5/18/09 11:43am

I liked him, but YMMV. And there was a huge Michigan in-joke in there which I appreciated. | |

Ike:
The boy didn't save the day, did he? I don't remember that. He seemed fairly incidental overall. But maybe another cat in his place would've been better. Any movie can always use more cats. Parq, do you like the Iron Giant and Miyazaki films like Spirited Away and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? Brilliant stuff. | |

Cecile:
Well also partly most little boys want a boy in the movie or they will not go see it. ITA with more cats. In face, I want to be that cat. Ike I like those movies, except for Nausicaa and that's only because I haven't seen it. | |
