Greets from the melting cauldron formerly known as Portland. It's 106 today. That's 41 in your language.

Tweeting

Wed. 7/29/09 7:05pm From: Vicki

Wed. 7/29/09 7:05pm From: Martín E.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:05pm From: Vicki

hello Tweeters!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:06pm From: vince

.... do you really get a tan from standing in the English rain?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:07pm From: Bad Ronald

No, but you can get a bustle in your hedgerow.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:08pm From: Vicki

trying to think of a witty response to that question...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:08pm From: irene

anything like a topary?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:08pm From: martinibomb

@ charles I hear ya. it is very hot here today. hotter than I can remember. muppet chickens are helping me deal

Wed. 7/29/09 7:09pm From: vince

you could say, "Only walrus's do." ... or, is it wal-ri?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:09pm From: irene

emil richards!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:09pm From: Vicki

lots of people in comments tonight, that's very nice.

yesh Irene.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:12pm From: pfapfap

I don't usually get to listen live, always happy when I do! Tho' that ruins the surprise of the podcast...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:13pm From: vince

Yeah, I haven;t listened live in a while.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:13pm From: Ken From Hyde Park

The Pac Man song is cool.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:14pm From: Vicki

it's better for me for people to be saying hello, or i think i'm sitting here on my own

Wed. 7/29/09 7:16pm From: vince

I should hope you have a healthy amount of pod-cast subscribers...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:16pm From: Phil R

Betcha got friends all over the world - even if you don't know it...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:18pm From: Vicki

I think it is one ofthe most downloaded fmu podcasts

the thing about doing a radio show etc though is most people assume that you get lots of people getting in touch but they don't, so is nice when people come in and say they're listening - I'm sure it's the same for many at fmu

Wed. 7/29/09 7:19pm From: hello

what else would you rather be sitting on?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:20pm From: pfapfap

So are DJ Speaks comments done live?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:21pm From: Vicki

although it's also fine not to hear from people...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:21pm From: Vicki

the show is uploaded but i'm obviously here now

Wed. 7/29/09 7:21pm From: hah

!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:24pm From: Ike

Hi! I'm listening! Good stuff!

I hope I don't get hit by lightning on my way home.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:25pm From: pfapfap

Walking around with Do or DIY on headphones is one of the best ways to enjoy any summer afternoon. You can have normal conversations with people on the street while insanity plays in your head. Also, the sun shines brighter.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:26pm From: Vicki

when driving in the car I often think "I bet no one ever played this song down this road before"

Wed. 7/29/09 7:27pm From: Martín E.

like listenign to God Saves the Queen by Los Punkrockers...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:28pm From: martinibomb

vicki- i'm curious about the avant retard. I personally think we have reclaimed the word retard and it does not refer to a mentally disabled person. However some people get very angry when they hear it. I know the special Olympics has been working on PSA series to tell people it's wrong to use the word retard. Have you had anyone give you a hard time about using that word?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:28pm From: Vicki

outside Buckingham Palace, yes

Wed. 7/29/09 7:28pm From: Phil

Exactly. I often enjoy the surreal soundtrack in the most ordinary and unsuspecting locations

Wed. 7/29/09 7:29pm From: Martín E.

oh, This is serius talk now...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:30pm From: Vicki

retard means a lot of things - I'm not referring to disabled people, I'm referring to the meaning "backwards". So avant retard just means forward-backwards. So, it's "present".

Wed. 7/29/09 7:30pm From: vince

I think, in terms of 'music', you can get away with using the word retard

Wed. 7/29/09 7:30pm From: pfapfap

I thought it was 'avant-retarde'?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:31pm From: vince

you could have 'avant-alegro', too.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:31pm From: Martín E.

A yes, its french

Wed. 7/29/09 7:31pm From: Stephen Hawking

Ev'rybody chill or I'm gonna get mental!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:32pm From: Vicki

wxactly - both are french.
avant and retard.

oh! playlist...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:32pm From: Vicki

e

Wed. 7/29/09 7:32pm From: Vicki

oh we're all nice

Wed. 7/29/09 7:33pm From: Martín E.

I love Nurse with wound!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:33pm From: Stephen Hawking

tanx

Wed. 7/29/09 7:33pm From: vince

Didn't know Stephen Hawking was a 'PLU-ker'!!!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:34pm From: Vicki

avant-alegro doesn't rhyme with avant-garde so it's not a pun

Wed. 7/29/09 7:34pm From: Stephen Hawking

prolly dunno wut I smell like too but it's cool.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:35pm From: Martín E.

Thats very clever, I feel dumb never having noticed that it was a pun.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:35pm From: vince

me, too!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:36pm From: Vicki

that was the whole point, that it was a pun :)

Wed. 7/29/09 7:37pm From: Phil

I'm really liking the ToToM...

Wed. 7/29/09 7:37pm From: vince

That reminds me of that Python scketch....

Wed. 7/29/09 7:38pm From: Vicki

which sketch?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:38pm From: Martín E.

well you should have told us it was a pun! haha.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:39pm From: Dinsdale

Sarcasm rules.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:40pm From: vince

the one where Palin goes, "Oh, not a pun, what's the one that's makes a different word when you say it backwards?" And Clesse says, "A palindrone?"

Wed. 7/29/09 7:42pm From: Dead

Parrot

Wed. 7/29/09 7:42pm From: Vicki

did you's see William Shatner performing Sarah Palin's speech?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:42pm From: martinibomb

shatner! doing Palin!!!! wtf

Wed. 7/29/09 7:43pm From: vince

was it worth it???

Wed. 7/29/09 7:44pm From: Vicki

I thought it was a great - it's on youtube

Wed. 7/29/09 7:44pm From: vince

Wed. 7/29/09 7:44pm From: Vicki

Wed. 7/29/09 7:45pm From: Phil

will have to look for that

Wed. 7/29/09 7:45pm From: vince

cool.... did he do it to music?

Wed. 7/29/09 7:47pm From: Vicki

to be honest I don't recall - but he did it sort of beat poet style. a curious mix of things that shouldn't happen together

Wed. 7/29/09 7:47pm From: Martín E.

Drillbits heart of glass is my favorite. I think my favorite set ever was when you played that and then Los Punkrockers.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:48pm From: Mr Fab

yes, Vince, The Shat had a cool jazz backing to give it that Beat feel.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:48pm From: vince

That's Shatner for you.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:48pm From: Vicki

hello Mr Fab
The Shat indeed.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:49pm From: martinibomb

maybe it's time for a remix shater/palin contest for next week

Wed. 7/29/09 7:49pm From: vince

Mr. Fab.... of RIAA..... pleased to type to you! Big fan, thanks to Vicki, of course!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:51pm From: Vicki

was it just me or did it just go silent a couple of times then?
maybe fmu got struck by lightning

Wed. 7/29/09 7:52pm From: Martín E.

sounds solid over here, i think it was just you.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:52pm From: Phil

fine thru the net..

Wed. 7/29/09 7:52pm From: Vicki

Wed. 7/29/09 7:52pm From: Mr Fab

Thanks, vince. He he, only WFMU makes me feel like star.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:52pm From: vince

No silence here....

Wed. 7/29/09 7:53pm From: Vicki

Wed. 7/29/09 7:54pm From: Vicki

Wed. 7/29/09 7:54pm From: Martín E.

First I thought you meant silence because no one had written anything for about 1 minute.

Wed. 7/29/09 7:54pm From: vince

You're BOTH heroes to me!!

Wed. 7/29/09 7:54pm From: irene
