I really like that Mr. Giant Man song. The bass really rocks towards the end. Maybe you should consider making it your theme song. Just a thought.

I always rock out to Mr. Giant Man. Love it.
Which Scream is this? Not the hardcore band for sure.

Huh. I always miss the first half hour of Strength Through Failure because I rip off the headphones as soon as the first few notes of Mr. Giant Man come on, and then I forget to put them on again.

I'll admit, it took me a while to embrace Giant Man... Mostly because it became a horrendous ear-worm. Once that damn song gets into the bloodstream, it's hard to shake. But we're cool now, mister Giant Man and me...

The Kinks' "Apeman" does that to me.

Someone needs to do a chart of FMU shows sorted in order of longest opening and closing tracks.
Fabio and TerreT are probably tied for the longest opener, while Benjamin Walker probably has the closing honors in the bag.

Inner Ear Detour is pretty long.

The late John Narucki used to have Zappa's "Willie the Pimp" as his opener. He preceded Irwin, who, our ol' pal later revealed, is a major Zappa hater. Irwin says that Narucki would force him to cue it up every week, greatly enjoying the discomfort it caused. To ice the cake, he had it on a cassette.

Inner Ear or Joe B -- which has the most splices?
Thu. 9/3/09 4:00pm
From:
fabio
Yeah, it was a pretty beat cassette too, so it sounded really shitty. I loved that about it.... He was quite a character Narucki...

Fabio, do you have any Plastic People of the Universe there?? Just reading a book about Prague that pinged me memory banks.

a very liberating experience, singing along with this in the ofc...
Thu. 9/3/09 4:36pm
From:

Yeah, that'd liberate me from my employment.

the music i used to play in my office exempted me from the no-headphones-policy.

I've gotten used to funny looks from co-workers who wander into my office.

I work for the federal gov't, so, although i get to listen wfmu (although i'm not supposed to stream, but i'm friendly w/ the IT dept), the suckiness of the job almost balances it.
Thu. 9/3/09 5:21pm
From:
annie
yes!!!! yess!!!!!

ahhhhhh FEDERAL gov! (i work for gov't. -- if i remember correctly, WFMU is one of the "blocked sites"!!!) (The Vitamin Shoppe is ALSO blocked but . . . Victoria's Secret is NOT!!!)

Coincidentally, I also work for the govt. -- state, in my instance. I've been here for decades and have enough seniority to secure a decent sized office. My strangely Orwelian work puter has many blocked sites, but FMU is not on their radar.

Another guv worker here. No access probolems at all.
I think Cecile is also in gubmint.

Private industry, computer hardware and software developer. Nothing ever blocked, sometimes much to my co-worker's dismay.
