Thu. 10/15/09 6:06am From: Pieter

Thu. 10/15/09 6:07am From: Meghan

Good Morning Pieter!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:09am From: Chuck

Pretty start to a grim theme... Nice!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:10am From: Meghan

Yeah these country singers just LOVE murder....

Thu. 10/15/09 6:12am From: Chuck

Don't quite get your title... Is there a typo? "The call it Murder" doesn't make much sense...

Thu. 10/15/09 6:14am From: Meghan

Hmmmm, will have to fix that later..... it's They

Thu. 10/15/09 6:14am From: Dave B in NYC

REDRUM!!!!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:15am From: Joshua K

Its supposed to be "They call it Mordor" and its all J. R. R. Tolkien themed songs.

Thu. 10/15/09 6:15am From: Meghan

LOL, morning Dave and Josh

Thu. 10/15/09 6:17am From: Chuck

Ah, I can hear Anita in the back... Love her...

Thu. 10/15/09 6:25am From: Chuck

Will Husker Du's "Diane" be making an appearence?

Thu. 10/15/09 6:27am From: Meghan

Unfortunately no.... but there are so many murder songs, I will have to visit this theme again

Thu. 10/15/09 6:29am From: Chuck

Ha! And you're always worried about running out of stuff to play... As if!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:30am From: Meghan

It will happen....

Thu. 10/15/09 6:30am From: Joshua K

Please tell me you have "murder she wrote" queued up. heh

Thu. 10/15/09 6:32am From: Meghan

Oh Josh i totally did, but I had to get rid of it cause I had too many songs..... damn! That sucks!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:36am From: Dave B in NYC

Mosh it up, Selecter!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:42am From: Joshua K

Murder was the case... thats the other track that popped in my mind. Hell yes.

Thu. 10/15/09 6:43am From: Meghan

There you go Joshua... made it up to you!

Thu. 10/15/09 6:46am From: Andy in Berlin

Hi Meghan,
Does Gary Gilmore's Eyes by the Adverts count? Or is that just killing?

Thu. 10/15/09 6:50am From: Meghan

Well, I was adding killing, since that is technically murdering.... and Hello Andy! hehe that should have been first...

Thu. 10/15/09 6:52am From: Chuck

This show is killer...

Thu. 10/15/09 6:52am From: Joshua K

Theres that surf rock ghost riders in the sky track i really like but its instrumental.

Thu. 10/15/09 6:55am From: Meghan

who does it?

Thu. 10/15/09 6:58am From: Joshua K

The Ramrods, 1960 recording

Thu. 10/15/09 6:59am From: Meghan

It's worth looking up! A great song, so why not

Thu. 10/15/09 7:00am From: Joshua K

Looks like theres another one a band called The Scorpions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6adu0sHetQ

also I saw this on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Alfred-Hitchcocks-Presents-Stories-Monsters/dp/B0028SVQF0/

Thu. 10/15/09 7:04am From: Chuck

There's got to be hundreds of versions of "Ghost Riders"... I was thinking "Ghost Dancing" by Simple Minds for one...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:18am From: Joshua K

Have you done a show with the topic being "cheese"

Thu. 10/15/09 7:19am From: Meghan

cheese being the food or the bad music that I love so much?

Thu. 10/15/09 7:22am From: Chuck

Don't think you'd find too many songs about the food... But, a an all Cheez show is certainly a theme you may wish to explore... hehe...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:22am From: Joshua K

The food :) Yum

Thu. 10/15/09 7:25am From: Meghan

I do have a food theme, but I don't know if there are any cheese songs..... As for my CHEEZE... well, that will be my record fair search. I have a good record fair feeling this year!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:28am From: Andy in Berlin

I hope this means you're going to play Elvis singing Frankie and Johnny.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:29am From: Chuck

Ouch, Tom is almost painful... He's killing me anyway...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:30am From: Meghan

Awww man, I'm not.... damn it. Next is some other 70's cheese....

Thu. 10/15/09 7:33am From: Chuck

Good God, Meg! Where'd you dig this up! Haven't heard it since it was a new song... Oh, you're listing is reversed as well...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:33am From: Parq

Speaking of cheese ...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:34am From: Andy in Berlin

then shouldn't you play The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia to make up for it

OMG! You just did!!!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:35am From: ?

i love the idea of a murderer sitting in the jail cell...thinking...maybe I should write a song...
Blitzen trapper's "Black river killer is the creepiest contemporary murder song out there" thanks Meghan...u remind me why i love murder songs...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:35am From: Meghan

hehe.... I do it just to get a song in Parq's head for the rest of the day.....

Yay, I keep making up for my mistakes! Talent, pure talent....(more like luck)

Thu. 10/15/09 7:36am From: Meghan

Ohhhh, I don't know Blitzen Trapper's song.... I am going to have to look it up...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:36am From: RZ

Johnny Cash is always good for some killin' songs..."Delia's Gone" perhaps?

Thu. 10/15/09 7:37am From: Andy in Berlin

Or Folsom Prison

Thu. 10/15/09 7:38am From: jennie

Blitzen trapper...yeh.."eyes sewed shut" is a phrase within the song...now that gets your attention!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:38am From: Parq

Oh swell, thanks. It occurs to me that, back in the day, I never paid enough attention to this song to know what it was about. I wasn't missing anything.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:38am From: Joshua K

Killer Tofu song from the cartoon Doug

Thu. 10/15/09 7:41am From: Parq

@Joshua: I eat my sugar cereal, but it makes my teeth bacterial.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:41am From: Joshua K

I don't know where that fits in, its about tofu thats killer but did it actually kill anyone?

Thu. 10/15/09 7:42am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Ralph Stanley has one of the greatest voices of all time. Glad I made it in for this. Morning all!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:43am From: Meghan

Morning Dum Dum! Glad you made it for the Stanley Bros.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:44am From: Chuck

I think Dylan learned to sing from the Stanley's... Listen to his early stuff, you'll see the similarity...

Thu. 10/15/09 7:44am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

You got the Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes in that bag of yours? It would go well right now.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:45am From: Andy in Berlin

Meghan, you HAVE(!!!) to play "you can't chop your mother up in massachusetts" by the Chad Mitchell Trio. Also known as Lizzie Bordon.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:47am From: Meghan

I had a hard time finding Violent Femmes... amazingly enough. I am on the top floor of the building Andy, can't run to the second floor to find it.... I am putting it on my list for the next murder show.... You all are throwing out awesome requests, keep it up!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:49am From: Chuck

I can only assume that The Clash is going to be on at some point in the show... Yes?

Thu. 10/15/09 7:50am From: Meghan

yep, they made the cut

Thu. 10/15/09 7:52am From: Andy in Berlin

I can't keep it up unfortunately - I have to get to work. If it's any consolation, you're making it very difficult.

Thu. 10/15/09 7:52am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Pizza Tapes. Yea!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:53am From: Meghan

awww... well i am glad I am making it difficult! There is always the archives!

Thu. 10/15/09 7:57am From: Andy in Berlin

of course but I can't put in my 2 cents after the fact

Thu. 10/15/09 7:59am From: Chuck

Actually you can, Andy... There's still a comments section on the archive page... But, not in real time, unfortunately...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:00am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

face it. your a deadhead but just can't admit it to yourself or others. a self-hating deadhead, if you will.

Thu. 10/15/09 8:01am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Ha!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:02am From: Andy in Berlin

Before I disappear, here is the original recording of Lizzie Bordon on a YouTube clip from the New Faces movie. An ax murder hoedown!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qim5xxf4-2Y
can you play it from that?

Thu. 10/15/09 8:03am From: Meghan

Thanks Andy! Still holding on eh? (pulls out the ball and shackle)

Thu. 10/15/09 8:06am From: fred

anyone else having trouble with the AAC+ stream? Then again it could very well be iTunes being temperamental. Anyway, the 32k mp3 stream works fine, so all is well

Thu. 10/15/09 8:06am From: Andy in Berlin

Actually this one makes me think you could do a whole Shady Grove show (a la Staggerlee). And please stop rattling the chain!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:08am From: Meghan

I could! There are a lot of versions of this song... Plus it is a great song. Did everyone enjoy the Stagger Lee show? Had a hard time reading how it went over....

Thu. 10/15/09 8:11am From: jennie

oh uh...a hint of a dead jam at the end there...hmmmm

Thu. 10/15/09 8:12am From: Meghan

Well, I do know that Jerry Garcia did a blue grass version of Shady Grove.... but that is a bluegrass version... on Pizza Tapes as well

Thu. 10/15/09 8:13am From: jeff p

ugh... soo... sleepy.....

Thu. 10/15/09 8:14am From: ?

redeemed...amy...wow...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:14am From: Meghan

Wakey Wakey Jeff! Wakey Wakey!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:15am From: jeff p

you gonna play "kill the poor" by the Dead kennedys?

Thu. 10/15/09 8:16am From: Meghan

You know... that one did cross my mind... but alas... no.... sadly

Thu. 10/15/09 8:16am From: mess

i was just going to suggest that!!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:17am From: Meghan

wow, we must be sleepy.... you were too tired to type all of Messica....

Thu. 10/15/09 8:18am From: jeff p

"murder by numbers" by the police

Thu. 10/15/09 8:19am From: Meghan

Yep, that made it

Thu. 10/15/09 8:19am From: Chuck

I beat you to that request 2 weeks ago, Jeff P...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:19am From: jeff p

i think it's important to suggest songs well after hte list is made up rather than in advance like you request

Thu. 10/15/09 8:20am From: Meghan

lol..... nice Jeff and yes, chuck did request that one a bit ago.... in person actually!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:23am From: jeff p

jackson says hi, btw

Thu. 10/15/09 8:23am From: Andy in Berlin

I was about to turn off the "radio" when that Hot Dog song came on. You're really gonna have to stop this!

That being said, how about a show of laughing songs?

Now I'm gotta go for sure!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:26am From: jeff p

oh, nice tom waits choice! I'm not a big fan but i did like this album

Thu. 10/15/09 8:26am From: Meghan

Let's see if we can get Andy to stay until the end of the show.....


Awww Jackson! The cutest tripod ever!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:27am From: rick

Well, you also could fit "Small Change" in here because "Small Change got rained on with his own .38"

Thu. 10/15/09 8:27am From: jeff p

that's going to be his halloween costume

Thu. 10/15/09 8:28am From: Meghan

That could fit in a gun theme too.....

Thu. 10/15/09 8:30am From: Chuck

Meg, are you familiar with Eric Anderson at all?

Thu. 10/15/09 8:31am From: Meghan

No I don't think so.... but maybe I know a song and not the name...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:34am From: Chuck

"Thirsty Boots" is probably the most played song by him... Make an effort to get a hold of some of his stuff... He's one of those terrific singer/songwriters that never get their due...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:34am From: Parq

Isn't it almost cheating to play something from this Cave album? It's almost like the album is called "Hey Megan, Play Me On Your Murder Show".

Thu. 10/15/09 8:36am From: Meghan

Someone even said to me, is it cheating to play the entire album! You all knew I HAD to play Nick Cave! I had the hardest time picking a song.....

Thu. 10/15/09 8:36am From: Chuck

Meghan, cheat? Couldn't happen with a Nick Cave record... LOL!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:36am From: Parq

Hey, here's a good one for next time -- Laura Cantrel's version of "Lee Harvey Was A Friend of Mine".

Thu. 10/15/09 8:37am From: Meghan

I wonder if I play the most Nick Cave here at the station..... Oh good one! I will have to!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:40am From: Murder, Suicide

Ode to Billie Joe...

Thu. 10/15/09 8:42am From: Chuck

Yay! Sandinista is one of the best records ever!

Thu. 10/15/09 8:50am From: jeff p

this song always makes me think of the tv show dexter

Sat. 10/17/09 9:41pm From: Ben

I always sympathize with Lord Donald when I hear "Matty Groves." I mean, he was pretty courteous for a guy who came home from work to find this dumb kid banging his wife.
