Mon. 7/20/09 10:20am From: Lawrence Welk

Why is the bloody-handed superdude so bubbly?

Mon. 7/20/09 10:22am From: Cecile

It's been the best song title for over 40 yrs...

Mon. 7/20/09 10:22am From: Joe Steele

Plus the bubbles look like eyes. I guess it's some sort of super power.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:22am From: trirsh

Mon. 7/20/09 10:27am From: still b/p

Wait...that jacket, those bubbles. Oh, my god! He's...John Phillip Sudza!

Mon. 7/20/09 10:28am From: Cecile

I liked the crimso cover.
Could we get Crimson doing a Crimson song? Like Great Deceiver?

Mon. 7/20/09 10:28am From: Joe Steele

His brutality and lack of due process remind me of Stardust.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:29am From: BSI

I'd vote for him.

...I'd vote for him TWICE if he promised to never wash the gloves.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:29am From: bw

Mon. 7/20/09 10:36am From: bloody dude at podium

Mon. 7/20/09 10:47am From: Cecile

I did! I needed it.
I'll probably put some cute vay-cay photos on my blog. I know, it's so 2003. I'll let you know when I do. Ate well, had many good visits.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:47am From: innocent listener

ben yer a downer

Mon. 7/20/09 10:51am From: Carmichael

Good to hear you're tanned, rested and ready. It'll be my turn in a few weeks.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:52am From: bw

downer! time to take uppers I guess!

Mon. 7/20/09 10:53am From: bloody dude at podium

Mon. 7/20/09 10:53am From: John Horus

You have no conception of what I can really do.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:54am From: Cecile

not tanned, but the other stuff.
It was nice.
where are you going Carm?

Mon. 7/20/09 10:56am From: Carmichael

Spend a few days in/at Lake Tahoe, head to Reno, and then catch the King Tut exhibit in San Francisco. Should be fun.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:57am From: annie

carm, it sounds great!!! driving each time?

Mon. 7/20/09 10:58am From: Cecile

wow, that sounds amazing. Some year I want to go to Tahoe, not to gamble, just for sightseeing.
And I do want to go to Reno, just to get my picture taken at the biggest little city sign, cause I am a huge Reno 911! fan.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:58am From: Cecile

nice! I just know her from Soulful Dress.

Mon. 7/20/09 10:59am From: Carmichael

Yep, driving. I only live about 100 miles from any of those places, so it's easy.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:00am From: annie

wonderful!!!! driving is da bomb for vacations... IMHO.. :)

Mon. 7/20/09 11:01am From: Carmichael

My sister's family settled in Reno, and I think they're getting a little tired of the notoriety. It is a good show, though.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:04am From: annie

my half-sister lives there, she's a honcho for gannett. been living there for years.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:09am From: annie

Mon. 7/20/09 11:11am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/20/09 11:11am From: Carmichael

It's not just for breakfast anymore.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:12am From: dolly dimple

it's never too early for pie. or too late.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:12am From: John Horus

Don't judge me. Just accept that I do this for my love of pie.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:13am From: Parq

Carm, I saw the King Tut show in Philly a couple of years ago. Plan to take a good leisurely time going through it. B/t/w, I am going to Nova Scotia next week; anybody got tips?

Mon. 7/20/09 11:13am From: Carmichael

bw, I really like this Dungen. It has the nice 70s Gothic British Mystic Country Rock feel to it.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:14am From: stingy diane

Mon. 7/20/09 11:14am From: nimi

Mon. 7/20/09 11:15am From: Carmichael

Thanks Parq, I just may hunker down there for a good long while. I missed the last tour and have been kicking myself ever since. I'm an ancient Egyptaholic.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:15am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/20/09 11:16am From: drooler

Mon. 7/20/09 11:17am From: nimi

hair today, pie tomorrow

Mon. 7/20/09 11:19am From: Mr. Two-Arms

if you are on a PC (not sure about macs) you can hold down Ctrl while using the scroll wheel to zoom in a bit. it makes reading the strip a bit easier

Mon. 7/20/09 11:19am From: esch oder anarchie!

Comic easy to read on my pc. Tell Ken to stop living life through his i-phone.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:19am From: annie

to ken: i made the effort and squinted... well worth it, mr man!

Mon. 7/20/09 11:19am From: trirsh

So are clams on the eastern shore.

No kidney. No mince. No possum or squirrel.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:23am From: Parq

Wait, wait, is that the end of the excerpt? Don't we get to see what happens next?

Mon. 7/20/09 11:24am From: Carmichael

Mon. 7/20/09 11:30am From: Parq

@Trish: Metro Halifax, then Cape Breton, then the eastern end of the Bay of Fundy.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:30am From: nimi

mmm... all this talk of strawberry rhubarb blonds with clams has made me horn, I mean hungry. choices, choices.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:32am From: "Refer Madness" article in NYT Sun. Style Section

any one else read it? thoughts?

Mon. 7/20/09 11:32am From: annie

parq, all i can think of is: the music!! the dancing.... yumm!!!! oh and the food, too.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:33am From: annie

remake, mr mad?

Mon. 7/20/09 11:36am From: trirsh

http://www.chezchristophe.ca/en/restaurantgallery.html

Tiny home restaurant with the best seafood chowder arguably in the province. In the town of Grosses Coques..

Mon. 7/20/09 11:41am From: trirsh

Halifax? Propeller beer brewed in the north end on Gottingen is great beer-- especially the ESB. Mm. Cousins, the diner on Agricola, has great deep fried clams - if you can stand them. Decent beaches and swimming within ~20 min driving distance to the city -- all worth a visit.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:45am From: trirsh

Decent local rag for misc current in Hfx : http://www.thecoast.ca

Mon. 7/20/09 11:48am From: trirish

and another perspective : http://halifaxlocals.com

Mon. 7/20/09 11:49am From: Parq

@Trish: All noted. Many thanks.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:53am From: PMD

Hi all - happy Monday and thanks for the show BW... alas been in and out of my office so will have to catch again on archives.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:53am From: still b/p

Parq - RIP 'BCN, eh? Funny how so many quotes confirmed the decline and dimishing appeal since the glory days.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:54am From: Cecile

I would have requested Halifax by the Hampton Grease Band, but you need to have a good half hour for that one.

wh'appen BCN?

Mon. 7/20/09 11:55am From: trish

Have fun. Water's cold this time of year. Warmer along the Northumberland Strait, where there's also lots of jellyfish (tiny, cute, sting-y)
Most of the touristy spots are terrible.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:56am From: G

BCN changed from classic rock to sports talk

Mon. 7/20/09 11:58am From: trish

exceptions-- Kejimkujik Nat'l Park -- backwoods
and even the 'touristy' beaches are pretty wonderful all over

Mon. 7/20/09 11:58am From: Cecile

oh, boy.
Well, some of those sports DJs have better bumper music than most commercial stations. Still.

Mon. 7/20/09 11:59am From: Parq

It's over for what we used to call progressive rock on commercial radio. Really, it's been over for a long time, but the last bits of foundation are crumbling. I haven't turned on my radio tuner (which can't pick up FMU) in months.

Mon. 7/20/09 12:01pm From: Cecile

I think it can be reinvented, but it has to get bad enough that someone will takea chance.

Mon. 7/20/09 12:03pm From: still b/p

Article in today's Globe about young music seekers sure as hell not seeking/expecting new stuff in broadcast. Radio, shmadio.

Mon. 7/20/09 12:12pm From: Ike

Boston still has some decent non-commercial stations, doesn't it? That's where you expect/seek new stuff.

Good show!
