Morning Meg! Wow, you haven't started a show with some hillbilly stuff in a while. Nice!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:06am From: Meghan

Morning Chuck! Yeah, figured I would go back to the basics again!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:08am From: jeff p

good morning all! only which i could listen... these servers are loud!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:09am From: minnie the moocha

hi meg how bout johnny cash

Thu. 8/27/09 6:09am From: Meghan

Morning Jeff! Loud servers huh? The output here isn't loud, so it's gotta be your end!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:10am From: Chuck

Terrific! I've got a boxed set of the Monroe Bros. and some Ernest Tubb. Turn it up, Jeff P! You can't get this stuff too loud...

Thu. 8/27/09 6:11am From: Meghan

Morning Minnie! I don't have any Johnny doing a song about midnight! Amazing huh? You'd think I would have something! I am sure he has to have done something, just don't have it here with me! Sorry!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:25am From: Chuck

Well this one by Patsy was a MUST PLAY!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:25am From: DBinNYC

Morning Meg! Hope that stuff reached you last week...

Thu. 8/27/09 6:26am From: Joshua K

WFMU needs to invest in some dissinfectant. DJs keep gettin sick.

Thu. 8/27/09 6:27am From: Chuck

Ah, kids... Little buckets of disease...

Thu. 8/27/09 6:30am From: Joshua K

Everyone talking into the same disease infected mic.

Thu. 8/27/09 6:30am From: Meghan

Morning DB and Joshua! I got the stuff you sent DB, thanks!
And yes Josh, I wipe down the studio VERY WELL after my shows! Lysol ever surface I touch! And speak into as well!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:34am From: Chuck

Hum, I'd have thought you'd go with the live version of "Midnight Rambler". So many choices! You got the songs I sent last week, didn't you?

Thu. 8/27/09 6:37am From: Meghan

The live version is 9 minutes long.... so I figured go with the shorter version, so I can throw another song in! The list for midnight? or other? I been running around like crazy this past week with another wedding. Remind me again!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:38am From: Chuck

The school songs for next week. The Greyhounds and Graham Parker.

Thu. 8/27/09 6:39am From: Joshua K

There are to songs by The Jam with midnight right in the title. Did either make the cut?

Thu. 8/27/09 6:40am From: Joshua K

Well I guess in the midnight hour doesn't count as much. There are tons of covers of that. You could probably do a whole show with just that song.

Thu. 8/27/09 6:41am From: Meghan

I got them chuck! Looked in my inbox! And I do have both Jam songs, but unfortunately neither made the cut. One is a cover which there are a million versions of and the other wasn't, but just didn't make it.... I had to cut some stuff i didn't want to... it makes me sad. But on the upside, I have enough songs for another show!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:45am From: Chuck

Cool! Couldn't do a classic rock set without this song. Have you decided on a theme for after the Doctor show?

Thu. 8/27/09 6:48am From: Meghan

I have it down as a Pirate theme, since I think it's Talk like a Pirate day around there..... either that or a Sea theme...

Thu. 8/27/09 6:50am From: DBinNYC

AVAST!

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

Thu. 8/27/09 6:51am From: Chuck

Hum, don't know how many Pirate oriented songs are out there... A Sea theme will probably give you more options...

Thu. 8/27/09 6:53am From: Meghan

hehe... exactly DB! Yeah we shall see Chuck... haven't pulled much yet for it, so that is why I have the other as a back up!

Thu. 8/27/09 6:54am From: DBinNYC

Thu. 8/27/09 6:56am From: Meghan

The last week of September is women's names as a theme....

Thu. 8/27/09 6:57am From: Chuck

Thu. 8/27/09 7:25am From: David

Midnight at the Oasis went to #6 in 1974. It was downright inescapable. MM did much better work, the old story.

Thu. 8/27/09 7:25am From: Jeff

Good morning all. Great show this morning, as usual.

Thu. 8/27/09 7:26am From: Meghan

Morning David and Jeff! Isn't it always the way where the worst song gets lots of airplay! I hated Radiohead for a long time because of the song Creep.

Did somebody lock you in the server room?

Thu. 8/27/09 7:32am From: Meghan

Woohoo! Was saving the RAWK for you!

Thu. 8/27/09 7:33am From: DBinNYC

Otto's shrunken head used to host "Pirate-oake" nights where participants were encouraged to sing the songs in their best pirate dialect. Maybe they have some board recordings...

Thu. 8/27/09 7:34am From: jeff p

Thu. 8/27/09 7:35am From: Meghan

Thu. 8/27/09 7:47am From: jeff p

"pleaded" always sounds wrong for me. I always thought it was "pled"

Thu. 8/27/09 7:48am From: karen

Loving your Midnight Blues...keep it going...Looking forward to the PIRATE KING (G&S)

Thu. 8/27/09 7:49am From: Jeff P

Typing sucks when your hand is as large as a grapefruit.... but this RAWKS! I loved the blues set, too..... and everything this morning.

Thu. 8/27/09 7:59am From: Meghan

Ummmm.... if swelling hasn't gone down, you need to go to doctor. I know you hate it, but bee stings aren't something to mess with.... right everyone?

Thu. 8/27/09 8:00am From: jeff p

lol wut?

Thu. 8/27/09 8:01am From: Meghan

Jeff got stung by a bee and his hand and arms are swollen....

Thu. 8/27/09 8:01am From: Chuck

True! You know what anapheletic shock is, Jeff. Take care of that!

Thu. 8/27/09 8:03am From: Meghan

Oh and Jeff P, I know what you mean about pleaded vs. pled. I had a boss that said the plural of shrimp is shrimps... which always sounded wrong to me as well! But dictionary says both are accepted...

Thu. 8/27/09 8:03am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Get thee to a doctor for thine sting of the bee. If you have a CVS near you they have these great "minute clinics" where you can get checked out right pronto and get the prescription you need in no time flat. If you must exercise only self-help, which I do not recommend, Benadryl is an antihistamine that may reduce the swelling and allergic reaction.

Thu. 8/27/09 8:03am From: Jeff

The reaction hasn't spread, the pain is gone, and the swelling can take days to go away. No fear of shock at this point..... I'm off to pop some more pills.

Thu. 8/27/09 8:04am From: Meghan

awwww poor thing.... as long as the pain is gone!

Thu. 8/27/09 8:08am From: Jeff P

the runaways! nice! hope you're feeling better, jeff. I pleaded to meghan to get some shrimps for you but she said no.

Thu. 8/27/09 8:10am From: PKNY

Will DJ Shadow's "Midnight in a Perfect World" be making an appearance this morning? *crosses fingers*

Thu. 8/27/09 8:12am From: Meghan

yeah that sentence sounds awful! Morning PKNY! You can uncross those fingers cause the DID make the cut!

Thu. 8/27/09 8:15am From: Meghan

favorite past tense word is Shat. Even better is that the Pogues use it in one of their songs- I been sat on and shat on and raped and abused....

Thu. 8/27/09 8:19am From: Chuck

Wonder where PG is this morning... ? and the Mysterians is one of his all time favorite bands...

Thu. 8/27/09 8:19am From: Meghan

I thought he would love this set too! wonder where he is as well!

Thu. 8/27/09 8:21am From: Chuck

Spoke to him last night and reminded him too... Though his dad passed away recently at the age of 94, so he's a bit out of sorts...

Thu. 8/27/09 8:22am From: Meghan

Thu. 8/27/09 8:22am From: jeff p

Thu. 8/27/09 8:36am From: Meghan
