Mon. 10/26/09 9:22am From: Kristoffer

thnx for great show!
that confusion/information diagram is so spot on - where does it originate from?

Mon. 10/26/09 9:22am From: postmanpaul

annie - thanks for reminding me i've got some!!! been otherwise distracted recently! they're fine thanks, tom is less than a year away from attending university already, jack will be out of his ivory tower in 6 months and ready to take on the world. and my darling daughter jo is in the thick of it, fortunately busy. how are yours my dear?

Mon. 10/26/09 9:25am From: bw

all the diagrams come from the internets! Crumb didn't like me much.. mostly the ladies were captivating his attention but we talked some!

Mon. 10/26/09 9:27am From: annie

is jo still interested in the stage? i hope so.. so much fun and a great way to express oneself. my kiddo is doing well. he is ekeing by in san diego; finally moved in to his own studio apt near the beach. he is happy; writing a new screenplay, sending out video clips of his work, looking for jobs.. he is finally rid of the "loose change" albatross, that has kept him so occupied these last seven year. his latest projects are intriguing.. if you do youtube, i can link you to his channel..

Mon. 10/26/09 9:29am From: annie

bw, crumb does prefer the ladies, to be sure.

Mon. 10/26/09 9:31am From: postmanpaul

must return to the office annie, pooo - pleased to hear your boy is also in the thick of it too, i'll speak to you soon about his channel!

Mon. 10/26/09 9:53am From: bw

okok last one I promise!

Mon. 10/26/09 9:55am From: dc pat

man, for some reason it's good to hear Gary Numan right now. All I've been listening to all weekend is Dean Carter--guy was a genius.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:08am From: Listener James from Westwood

Oh, you were far from cranky yesterday a.m. And I think you were a lot more awake than some of our early-arriving guests. Even a pretty fall Sun morning in NYC can be a cruel mistress after a fun Sat nite. But that's why we have caffeine. And records for the buyin'. Excellent to have worked with you, and have a fine rest of the show! —James

Mon. 10/26/09 10:23am From: bw

I posted the video from the Synth documentary

Mon. 10/26/09 10:27am From: dc pat

THIS IS FREAKIN ME OUT, MAN!

Mon. 10/26/09 10:34am From: GP

BW, Good Morning...oh man the link to the Significant Objects site..how did you know that I needed more distractions in my life?

Mon. 10/26/09 10:50am From: GP

LOL... one of my coworkers said that it sounds like Scooby saying "Hot Tub"..or "Rot Rub"..instead of "Hot stuff".

Apologies to Ruk Chua Nirundon.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:53am From: trs

thank you gp -- 'hot stuff' ! The long distant familiar, but I don't recognize/remember the words..

Mon. 10/26/09 10:55am From: GP

TRS: Donna Summer ..disco era.It si weird because I just heard the song at Sat. night at some bar where they had a cover band playing mostly 70's hitz.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:56am From: PMD

Aw, I've missed so much! Hope all are well.

Mon. 10/26/09 10:58am From: trs

Back when she was queen.

Mon. 10/26/09 11:05am From: Carmichael

Good morning, Bee Dub and friends.

Mon. 10/26/09 11:11am From: Carmichael

BW, R Crumb lived down the road from me for many years, until he packed it in for Paris (I believe). I infrequently shared a glass of wine with him and listened to selections from his MASSIVE collection of 78s. Those were the days.

Mon. 10/26/09 11:14am From: BW

Carmichael, yea, I heard he is a record collecting fiend to an almost unhealthy level, but VERY knowledgeable about the old 78's.

Read some stuff about him online..he has a rather <ahem> interesting relationship with his wife.

Nice interview Mr. Walker!

Mon. 10/26/09 11:15am From: Josh Glenn

Thanks for having me on, Ben! And all you R Crumb fans -- we have some cartoonists/comics writers who've contributed to the Significant Objects experiments, including Ben Katchor, Dean Haspiel, and Annie Nocenti. Also, last week, we ran three cartoon stories written by students at James Sturm's Center for Cartoon Studies.

Mon. 10/26/09 11:16am From: bw

wow wow Charmichael - that sounds pretty amazingly amazing


he still is at the rekord thing.. I tried to get him interested in coming to the show if he comes back to nyc (the whole Genesis will go up at the Zwirner Gallery - all 200 pages - in feb)

Mon. 10/26/09 11:42am From: Eric

Thank you, mind-openers at wfmu! The more obscure the better, I love it. Significant objects site: cool!

new devotee from the Netherlands

Mon. 10/26/09 11:47am From: GP

Welcome Eric!

Mon. 10/26/09 11:47am From: Parq

If you will recall, it was via a mutual interest in old 78s that Art Crumb first got to know Harvey Pekar. At least, that's the way it's portrayed in the movie version of Pekar's autobio.

Thanks for playing La Banda's!

Just one small correction: the name of the track played during the show is Videla's Jam, not Waitin'.

Best, Jose.

Tue. 11/3/09 12:18pm From: LA BANDA´S
