Ahh, the ineffable Mr. W filling in for Mr. F. Looking forward to this set list - always enigmatic. Back to you Bob.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:09am From: BSI

Aieeee!
iTunes is refusing to stream! This does not bode well! Not on a friggin' WEDNESDAY!!!
I'm descending into MADNESS!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo..........

Wed. 9/30/09 9:13am From: Jack

Winamp is not streaming either; very unusual...
"ICY 401 Service Unavailable"...

Wed. 9/30/09 9:16am From: bobw

i guess that you'll have to listen via your iphone!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:17am From: JJZ

Yeah, I confirm that the MP3 stream seems to be down. Flash stream works though.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:17am From: BSI

hm... the 32k MP3 stream works but not my blessed 128k. But I can get 128s from other stations..... so are there gremlins at work at FMU?

Panic is setting in. 32k is like cheap methodone!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:20am From: jan

was our leader's absence planned- did I miss an announcement saying so? where is Ken?

Wed. 9/30/09 9:20am From: Cecile

Hey, Bob, all!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:20am From: dc pat

despite what the experts say, low-fi is still cool. Stop complaining..

Wed. 9/30/09 9:21am From: still b/p

And Real Player, which I use to listen to the 128k MP3 stream all da time, is starting with a message that claims it "cannot play this kind of document"...then it plays anyway, only to quit after a few seconds or a minute.
Wednesday is fritz day, hey what a treat,
Wednesday is fritz day, up and down the street...

Wed. 9/30/09 9:22am From: Janet H

Hi Fill-in for Ken....but where is Ken?

Wed. 9/30/09 9:23am From: bobw

there was a problem with the 128 stream. i fixed it. actually, doron fixed it - i just did what he told me to do!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:23am From: Cecile

Oh, jeez.
I used to email correspond with someone in the Laurels. Back when you had to pay for AOL time. That takes me back.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:24am From: BSI

yes. no disrespect intended to the great Bob W. All fill-ins are welcome in the house of the lord. Or something.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:25am From: dc pat

Hey Bob W., how about some Dead Moon or Pierced Arrows?

Wed. 9/30/09 9:25am From: Janet H

is there going to be a new 7sd today?

Wed. 9/30/09 9:27am From: Cecile

Maybe take a peek at the 7sd page? They are good at updating.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:28am From: bobw

i have no idea where ken is. i don't ask questions - i just salute and say, "yes sir!" when he asks me to fill in. there is no notation on my log to indicate any change in 7SD programming today. nothing on the homepage or special programs page.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:29am From: dc pat

...or Heiner Goebbels, this is excellent.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:30am From: Janet H

just checked.... next live show is next week

Wed. 9/30/09 9:32am From: BSI

I smell a conspiracy!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:33am From: north guinea hills

goebbel's 80's stuff (like much stuff avanty gardy) was rather cheesy, but i must admit this is really great.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:33am From: north guinea hills

(like much avant gardy 80's stuff, i must clarify)

Wed. 9/30/09 9:41am From: Cecile

bobw, your show is exquisitely programmed.
Might you be able to squeeze some Original Sins, Bro JT, etc into the mix? thanks

Wed. 9/30/09 9:42am From: dc pat

I second Cecile's request...along with my 9:25 request...

Wed. 9/30/09 9:45am From: Cecile

I need to hear the Robert Griffin 1960s US Senate jingle:
"Youth and Experience!"

Wed. 9/30/09 9:46am From: Cecile

dude, this Kochalka guy is like a cross between Hampton Grease Band and Atom and His Package

Wed. 9/30/09 9:50am From: bobw

ah, requests, requests... it can be really tough to make 'em happen, if i have to go to the main library to find 'em... unless i put on a 10 minute track, or risk dead air.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:51am From: Cecile

Do whatever you can or san't and we'll still be digging the show.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:52am From: Cecile

can't

Wed. 9/30/09 9:54am From: Cecile

THANK YOU

Wed. 9/30/09 9:55am From: dc pat

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wed. 9/30/09 9:56am From: Mac

Skippy sends his regards.

Wed. 9/30/09 9:59am From: anne

morning! doooooooooom...

Wed. 9/30/09 10:01am From: Dr. Octogon

Earth People, I am in the closet

Wed. 9/30/09 10:06am From: north guinea hills

nice one, kool keith above (lultz)

Wed. 9/30/09 10:09am From: Gerald Fnord

It's weird: I am the mildest of men, but every time I see or hear any 'creative' production from Mr Kochalka, I wish fervently to strangle him. Probably unfair, the cutesy-ness is probably as Darwin made him and has been reinforced by some young woman or man.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:14am From: Cecile

I know. I like both Atom and the Hampton Grease Band, Just not together. It's sort of like pouring Ripple into a great Cabernet.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:16am From: Cecile

Although the HGB is more like a peyote spritzer, and Atom is more like a drinkable California table wine on the discout table of the wine shop. I need to work on my analogies.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:17am From: BSI

aah, it's a perfect day for a peyote spritzer on the deck...

Wed. 9/30/09 10:19am From: bobw

i've been a JKS super fan for a long, long time. his american elf website is pretty amusing. btw, in addition to his music and his comics, he's a very talented painter. i've seen some of his "serious" work - very impressive.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:24am From: Cecile

that's cool. To each their own.
And I will check out his paintings.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:29am From: Janet H

chillin here with my coffee

Wed. 9/30/09 10:36am From: Lizardner Dave

Hi Bob - Any chance of hearing your old theme music given that the puck drops this week?

Wed. 9/30/09 10:41am From: bobw

the next song, after the break, is gunna be a looooong, very cool french-african jam. during which i'll go get some of the delicious coffee that lizberg made! i'll look for a hockey oriented song! habs vs leafs tomorrow!!! go HABS go!

Wed. 9/30/09 10:43am From: Cecile

bobw are you from Mont Royal originally?

Wed. 9/30/09 10:50am From: mb

lulz at Doc. Oct.

Wed. 9/30/09 10:57am From: Janet H

if i keep this playlist open...i keep getting pop-ups of this playlist.....very weird!

Wed. 9/30/09 10:58am From: Cecile

Bob, great show, off to a boring meeting.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:04am From: bobw

i'm not from hochelaga, but i do love the place! and i proudly wear a "westmount" jersey when i play hockey! there's going to be a montreal oriented shop opening up in brooklyn soon that plans on featuring fairmount bagels! imported directly from the mile end! in fact, i think that's what the place is to be called, "mile end."

Wed. 9/30/09 11:07am From: apc

only on WFMU will you hear a swing from Dalienst to Cheap Trick!...love it!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:12am From: BSI

True 'nuff, apc.
Of course now the Cheap Trick track has put me in the mood for a dose of Sensational Alex Harvey Band.....

Wed. 9/30/09 11:14am From: Lizardner Dave

Wow, first Timmy's comes to NYC and soon Montreal bagels in Brooklyn? Wonders will never cease....add the poutine craze that's happening in some pubs and restaurants and I don't even have to make the 6 hour drive anymore unless I want to see the Habs or the Als. (And no, I'm not a Montrealer either but I'm a multiple-times-a-year visitor since 1990).

Wed. 9/30/09 11:15am From: apc

BSI....SAHB indeed....Midnight Moses man!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:15am From: Matt S

Bob W + Spirit Varnish! Seacoast NH represent!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:16am From: frenchee

blasted 128 K itunes has a buzz! I guess it's due to theJersey blackout?

I'm gritting my teeth and staying tuned for Bob W fill-in.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:18am From: dc pat

hate hockey but love der duestche Musik, ja!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:18am From: Listener Dave from NH

I brought back bagels from Fairmount the last time I was up in Montreal. I wasn't blown away by them, but I was spoiled by growing up minutes from Sonny's Bagels in South Orange, NJ (which is where everyone really should be getting them from).

Wed. 9/30/09 11:19am From: doug in DC

The first Octoberfest beers actually show up July 31st. That's when most of the German breweries ship them.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:20am From: Lizardner Dave

Thanks Bob!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:28am From: bobw

matt s.? i think i know who matt s. might be! hey matt!

Wed. 9/30/09 11:29am From: Ike

Frenchee, yeah, I think the blackout dropped all kinds of gremlins into everything. The AAC+ stream is still crackly. Fortunately the Ogg stream sounds great.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:48am From: doron

will take a look at that ike. Thought we fixed that.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:48am From: Matt S

Nelories?? Wow man, that's spectacular.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:49am From: apc

Hearing Vic...HNIC theme....make me think of Canadian chanteuse Mary Margaret O'Hara! Any kickin around?

Wed. 9/30/09 11:56am From: Ike

Thanks Doron! Yeah I think it was OK yesterday but I guess it came back.

Wed. 9/30/09 11:58am From: bobw

bye till next time, radio pals! thanks for tuning in!
