Hi Mr. Walker- good morning!--I was reading that "Among the Truthers" book--it's frustrating when the author keeps mentioning that there is a "grain of truth" to the conspiracies | |

Nice to have you around again Benjamin, hope you're well. And see.... we are all still here! And excuse me, but is there anyone else here who cups their hands behind their ears for increased stereo reception sensation; it's a different feel to headphones... kind of like it's coming out of a sea shell :") | |

"Morning Ben and all, @PMPaul, I used to have a big, poly road traffic cone, and put a tweeter in the open top. I'd lay the thing on it's side, & lay flat on my back, & inch my head into the cone. That was an increased reception sensation! | |

Ha! Jennique, I have stopped feeling self-conscious...if you tuck your elbows in, so they almost touch each other, it can look like you are simply resting or thinking. With cauliflower ears. | |

I'm not sure if there is a simple answer to that question Harold. Stand in the corridor outside of class. | |

this show is one of those times where I begin to get cloudy in the head due to all the music out there I don't know about. I can't possibly deal with it all. the dreams are remarkable!! | |

ahhh i recognise this bed music from TMI | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:30am
Mike East:
Got busy for minute, bw, but with regard to your "rough" 9/11 show, I thought it was good especially considering you were out of your element doing a "live" version of the show. That said, your pre-recorded shows are great, especially your recent "Man Without a Country" Series, which I particularly enjoyed. | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:30am
Maria T:
Good show! Glad I tuned in. | |

Mon. 9/19/11 11:30am

What's the bed music? | |

Mon. 9/19/11 11:33am

is "Kollywood" a typo or is that a subset of Bollywood.... holy crap this Charlie McAlister tune is AMAZING. | |

Mon. 9/19/11 11:33am

BW's pre-recorded work is art. The live show was interesting but a completely different beast. | |

Wow. I work at the American Museum of Natural History. I will DEFINITELY pass this along to my colleagues. | |

Ike:
Nifty show BW! @DCPat, Kollywood is the Tamil version of Bollywood. I'm not sure why it's not called Tollywood though. At first I thought it had to be Kannadian/Karnatakan Bollywood, but I guess not. | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:38am
Ike:
Or not according to Wikipedia anyway. But it could just be a conspiracy to hide the truth about Karnatakan movies from us, because Karnatakan movies are actually filled with thermite. | |

Because Kodambakka is the center of the Tamil film industry. | |

@BW, did you at least fall out of bed because you were playfully tussling with a girl? If not, then you should lie and say you were. | |
