That's more personal info than anybody cares for this early, dogboy... Ah, I was wondering if you were gonna play a version of this, Meg...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:21am From: Meghan

it's always a question of WHICH version.... there are sooooo many! I could have done a show of just that song...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:22am From: Chuck

I know! Amazing isn't it... Can't believe you're playing JD!!!

Thu. 7/23/09 6:30am From: Chuck

Ironic that you're doing this show on such a cloudy day... No accounting for the weather though...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:31am From: Meghan

Well, let's just hope it works and pulls out the sun! Stupid weather...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:32am From: dogboy

You'll never guess who called me last week, Meghan...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:41am From: dogboy

Thu. 7/23/09 6:42am From: Meghan

Oh God.... who called! Gossip.... love it.....

Thu. 7/23/09 6:43am From: Chuck

Audrey Flack!!! She's got work for me!

Thu. 7/23/09 6:45am From: Meghan

OMG..... scary! she still has money to make work? Just make sure she doesn't beat you with a stick like she did with Jay!

Thu. 7/23/09 6:47am From: Chuck

On the phone it sounds like she's mellowed cuz she's getting old... I'll be able to handle her...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:48am From: Meghan

Nice... I still love that story about Jay though... it makes me giggle just thinking about it. He totally deserves to be whacked with the stick....

Thu. 7/23/09 6:50am From: Chuck

Yeah! Him and his buddy Keropian... HA HA!

Thu. 7/23/09 6:55am From: Chuck

I will have to go to LI to get Audrey's piece though... I may have to make it a point to take a spin through NJ since I'm down that way... I'll let you know when...

Thu. 7/23/09 6:56am From: Meghan

Definitely! That would be great!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:03am From: Chuck

Haven't seen my nephew and sisters in a while either... They are in East Rutherford and Garfield..

Thu. 7/23/09 7:04am From: messica

good song, yay sonic youth!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:08am From: Chuck

Were you gonna do "Always the Sun" by the Stranglers? 80s, baby! Gotta do Bullet Lavolta for a Boston show...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:10am From: Meghan

Yep, I am trying to find some Bullet Lavolta.... we had it on cassette, but Jeff gave away all our cassettes since we had nothing to play them on....

Thu. 7/23/09 7:12am From: Chuck

I've got a couple of their songs... I'll zap them over to you...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:15am From: Meghan

That would be great..... I am gonna look here too, hopefully I will find something!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:24am From: Chuck

Whoa! What's up with the machinery?

Thu. 7/23/09 7:24am From: Meghan

??? why what you hear?

Thu. 7/23/09 7:28am From: Chuck

Skipping! Could be the audio stream though... There are 3 Bullet Lavolta songs being transmitted to you right now, which may also be the cause...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:28am From: Meghan

That must be why.... it wasn't doing it here...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:34am From: Chuck

You have Bullet Lavolta in your email inbox now... And no more skipping, OMG that's annoying!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:36am From: Jeff

Great show today, but it's lonely without B-man. I really hope this brings the sun out, since Chris is on his way over for an epic ride today.

By the way, Yellow Mustard Rulez, it's been more than 15 years since you took German, the other Bullet Lavolta album I was looking for was "The Gun didn't Know I was Loaded", and I haven't heard any skipping here.

Thu. 7/23/09 7:36am From: Meghan

thanks Chuck! no more skipping!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:37am From: Meghan

Ladies and Gentlemen.... Jeff is awake and catching us all up! Thanks Jeff! Bosco is sleeping... it's so cute

Thu. 7/23/09 7:39am From: wha?

I've been meaning to say, this reminds me of KBC Radio. Anyone out there remember KBC on WFMU?

Thu. 7/23/09 7:40am From: Jeff

Hey, I've been awake since 5:30. I've just been enjoying lying in bed on this beautiful morning.

Thu. 7/23/09 7:41am From: Chuck

Morning Jeff! Yeah, some stuff is hard to find these days.. Especially on CD...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:46am From: Meghan

You mean Bitslap with KBC, correct? I see the archives and they are recent, but I don't see when it's on.....

Thu. 7/23/09 7:48am From: Jeff

Here it comes... I can feel it! I thought we might get it with Keep On THe Sunny Side, but that's too obvious. THis is way better!

Thu. 7/23/09 7:49am From: Meghan

Just a twofer today.... I had so many last week, i figure i would give you all a break! hehe

Thu. 7/23/09 7:50am From: Jeff

Doh! you fooled me.

Thu. 7/23/09 7:51am From: Chuck

Can't have everything, Jeff...

Thu. 7/23/09 7:54am From: Chuck

Ha! I've heard this version before on VKR... Terrific!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:01am From: wha?

Huh. I wonder if it's the same KBC.
The KBC I was thinking of hasn't been on since mid-nineties. But I see the recent archives you're talking about. I also can't tell when the show is from the schedule.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:04am From: Meghan

Yeah i am not sure either.... i was trying to see if anything else popped up from it too. I am curious to what you are talking about though! Let me know if you find it! send me a link- underwater@wfmu.org

Thu. 7/23/09 8:05am From: Chuck

Ah, another song on the list that I totally zoned on and forgot to send you... Seems you're doing well without my input though...

Thu. 7/23/09 8:06am From: wha?

What kind of Boston bands are you looking for?

Two that come to mind are Babaloo and the Velcro Peasants. No reason for you to have heard of the 'Peasants, though. I'd be really surprised if you found a VP CD in the record library.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:06am From: Meghan

hehe, thanks Chuck! There are so many songs.... really had to pick out what I wanted...

Thu. 7/23/09 8:08am From: Meghan

Looking for any Boston Based bands really. I will look for those two. You might be amazed at what I can find sometimes. Hell, I am amazed at what I find!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:10am From: Chuck

Just as well... My list had over 250 songs on it! Talk about decision overload!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:11am From: Meghan

HA! Yup!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:16am From: Chuck

It gets scarier! My initial list had over 630 songs... I chopped it down by excluding the words Sundown and Sunrise for starters...

Thu. 7/23/09 8:17am From: wha?

Great idea for a theme, by the way. You have a million bands to choose from. Of course, you might go crazy trying to choose.

The KBC Radio show appeared to be well-established when I started listening in '94. He also played on a theme most weeks. I vaguely remember some of the themes being pretty off-the-wall. The holiday themed shows were pretty memorable. I'd like to say it was a staple of my WFMU diet, though I didn't get to listen every week.

Then one day the show was just gone. I think archived playlists hung around for a few years (though maybe I'm wishfully mis-remembering this), but now there doesn't seem to be any evidence of the show from that time. I might have an old LCD with a program schedule packed away somewhere. (I've moved 4 times since then.)

Thu. 7/23/09 8:18am From: Ken From Hyde Park

These theme shows are cool. I just made the connection ... The show's title says theme park and each week has a theme. Clever. If you wanted to spice things up a bit today, I guess there's "Flight of Icarus" by Iron Maiden.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:19am From: Meghan

Hmmm, I am going to investigate now.... I am extremely curious....

Wow, If I threw in songs about flying up to the sun and my wings melting.... hehe. Glad to see you Ken!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:21am From: pauldepiperssoninberlin

danke thank you fur for playing spielen luna. nice, very nice.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:22am From: Meghan

Ich Liebe Luna! Und Galaxy 500

Thu. 7/23/09 8:24am From: ec

Cheers for the Felt song a few minutes ago - one of the most underrated bands ever.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:25am From: PMD

Hi - listening in at work (in early). Love your shows!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:26am From: Meghan

i originally picked up that album because of Primitive Painters... and fell in love with the album. They really are wonderful. Morning PMD! Glad you joined us!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:34am From: pauldepiperssoninberlin

only now do i see the sun theme going on. im still drunk from the night before. would sun ra be classed as acceptable. the flaming lips - felt good to burn but dont listen zu mich. great choices

Thu. 7/23/09 8:34am From: soapdish

Late to the party. you looking to do a boston show?

Thu. 7/23/09 8:35am From: Chuck

Cool! Robyn's always fun... Did you get to check him out in person when he was there at FMU?

Thu. 7/23/09 8:35am From: Meghan

Yep! Next week, all Boston based bands! you got requests?!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:36am From: ?

How about Boston?

Thu. 7/23/09 8:36am From: ec

How about some Boston!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:36am From: Meghan

I wish I did, but i had met him in Chicago outside the venue after seeing him. it was great. It was for the Respect album

Thu. 7/23/09 8:38am From: Meghan

Yep, Boston is a Boston band.... let's think of some others too....

Thu. 7/23/09 8:39am From: Chuck

Yes, I remember you've told me your Robyn tale...

Thu. 7/23/09 8:44am From: PMD

I don't know Boston bands, sorry, but found this on the web. Help some poor starving artist by playing their music...

Thu. 7/23/09 8:45am From: ?

Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer are from Boston. So are the Pixies.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:45am From: Meghan

Awwww nice, I will check that out! Gonna do my good deed and help some bands out!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:45am From: Maria

Mission of Burma please!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:46am From: Chuck

Meghan (and I for that matter) are full blown Pixies fans... She'll be playing them guaranteed!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:47am From: Meghan

The biggest problem with the Pixies is PICKING a song! SOOOO hard! What album? They are all too good! And don't worry, Mission of Burma is on the list as well.....

Thu. 7/23/09 8:50am From: ec

Are the Modern Lovers from Boston, or somewhere else in MA?

Thu. 7/23/09 8:50am From: Chuck

My first response would be Debaser cuz it was the first song I ever heard by them... And they BLEW ME AWAY!

Thu. 7/23/09 8:53am From: Dropkick Murphys

Yeah, we're from Boston.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:54am From: JJZ

Good ol' Sunshine Days.

Thu. 7/23/09 8:55am From: PMD

BRADY BUNCH!
Oh, oh, way too late, but you should have played Pebbles and Bam Bam singing 'let the sun shine in, face it with a grin, open up your heart and let the sun shine in"

Thu. 7/23/09 8:56am From: Parq

I'll be on vacation and sleeping late next week, but a Boston show wouldn't be complete without Dogzilla's "Lunch With Ed".

Thu. 7/23/09 8:56am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn
