Listener comments!

  9:19pm
12539:

(Listening politely)
  9:21pm
PB:

Hearing John Cale earlier in the set got me to thinking. What other Welsh rock musicians or bands have there been? I can't think of any off the top of my head but I'll bet there are some listeners out there who can.
  9:21pm
G:

wow, such commenting politesse last week. what could account for it? sub rosa saltpetre? anyhow, hoping for a repeat...
  9:22pm
G:

neil finn, one of NZ's best
  9:24pm
Destroit:

Alan Parsons Project is great, and thank you for playing "time". What a great song. Oh, and hello psue and everyone. I'm in the mood for this show.
  9:25pm
some other guy:

Dang, that cheap star track just about did me in right off the bat. Usually only Irwin can do that to me. And then Alan Parsons? Rough stuff ;). Please take this in the context of this being my favorite show.
  9:27pm
some other guy:

@PB I guess I'll be the one to point out Super Furry Animals.
  9:30pm
Davice:

I think Pseu is hooked!
  9:32pm
P-90:

I always like Camera Obscura. That singer has a way with the Leslie Gore type of echo. Their arrangements are cool. On youTube there's a video of them doing that "French Navy" song from last year with a single trumpet player replacing all the strings, etc.
Also: don't forget that Eric Burden for The Animals is Welsh.
  9:32pm
Secret Squirrel:

New listeners? Well, you have the perfect lead-in from Downtown Soulville... THE BEST THEME SONG ON WFMU.
  9:33pm
CBK:

Hello Pseu. great show tonight.
  9:33pm
G:

jersey's got the densest population per square mile of any US state. you can afford the loss. that many fewer cars on route one.
  9:34pm
12539:

CD Baby says Track 5 of Cheap Star's Speaking Like An Elephant is titled "Shell."
  9:35pm
P-90:

"Hi" to Pseu too, Goddamitt! And Merry goddamn Christmas and THANK YOU for last week's X-mas spectacular!
  9:36pm
?:

danke, 12539.
  9:36pm
PB:

Eric Burdon is Welsh? Didn't know that, I thought he was from northern England. The Animals had some great tunes.
  9:36pm
other david, damnit:

Enjoying the show
  9:36pm
Mike Sin:

Just thinking... There are great visual stereotypes for all parts of the USA, but what I always found most interesting in my travels is that a lot of the "New Yorkers" who complain about "bridge and tunnel folks from Jersey" have often just arrived in NYC 18 months ago via trains and planes. Much of New Jersey is loaded with older ex-New Yorkers who just wanted to buy real estate they could afford.
  9:37pm
slazenger:

Pseu is really the child catcher from chitty chity bang bang, and now that we are tuned in, BAM> she locks the door,,,,,,,
  9:38pm
G:

quoth wikipedia re eris burdon:

born 11 May 1941 at Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, England
  9:38pm
G:

eric, ugh
  9:38pm
PB:

That's OK, I live in lower Westchester and people who live in NYC (particularly Manhattan) think that I live "upstate".
  9:39pm
slazenger:

I SMELL NEW LISTENERS!!!!
  9:39pm
G:

they don't shower that often
  9:40pm
P-90:

@M. Sin: Alot of those older New Yorkers actually bought real estate in Jersey because people were fleeing the city in droves in the 60's and 70's.
  9:40pm
pseu:

hello Mike Sin....
  9:41pm
PB:

Eric (Clapton), ugh. Eric (Burdon), had a handful of good tunes with the Animals.
  9:44pm
slazenger:

Love this 'sour' song
  9:45pm
tony:

Time to break out the H&O for all the Big Kids
  9:46pm
Mike Sin:

@P-90 -- Oh yes, that was case with my family bolting outta the Bronx 40 years ago. For the lawns and the schools. But it still holds now -- Manhattan is closed shop to the even the upper middle class.
@Pseu -- Hello! I always enjoy all your shows.. either live or on archive.
  9:52pm
glenn:

p 90. nice pickup.
  9:53pm
Destroit:

Haha. Pseu gets mad when I bring up H&O.
  9:54pm
G:

no cage rattling, you kids
  9:55pm
Mike Sin:

re: Major Labels
Did they ever put out a second LP? This one's almost five years old now, huh?
  9:56pm
pseu:

I'd guess, based on Mike Viola's busy career that maybe it's on the back burner??
  9:58pm
Destroit:

Mike Viola last week was spectacular.
  9:59pm
Randy in NC:

Back in the mid 1980's when I lived on 2nd St in Bklyn, there was this woman Annie, who must have been in her 80's that I would chat with. She was always talking wistfully about "the country" and "upstate" where she was originally from. One day I asked her where upstate it was and she said The Bronx!
  9:59pm
pSpellcheque:

I go out for wine and snacks and miss John Cale. Can't wait for this year to end.
  10:03pm
jeff:

please play anything by the red aunts......thanx
  10:03pm
slazenger:

yeaah, baby!
  10:04pm
glenn:

deranged robotic balding murderers. pseu says that like it's a bad thing.
  10:06pm
Destroit:

Gotcha, G. :)
  10:06pm
john:

Yeah, we've spent the week here with serial stomach viruses. Freakin' laff riot, lemme tell you.
  10:07pm
other david, damnit:

glenn, there's no accounting for taste
  10:08pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Hey Pseu!
Got any Fools and Horses?
  10:15pm
other david, damnit:

i like this cargoe track muchly, it be apt
  10:15pm
Mike Sin:

I didn't discover Cargoe until that "Thank You Friends" Ardent comp from a few years ago featured the glorious "Feel Alright." It made me investigate the one LP they released back in the day... Very cool that you possess the original vinyl.
  10:16pm
eastvanhalen:

I got my supporter swag this week, which was a bit o' sunshine in a holiday otherwise spent in bed sick. Achoo, and a happy new year to everyone.
  10:18pm
P-90:

@eastvanhalen: God bleth you
  10:19pm
other david, damnit:

Some Rollerskate Skinny would be just perfect now :)
  10:23pm
eastvanhalen:

@P-90 *Sniffle* Thanks.
  10:24pm
other david, damnit:

huzzah pugwash :)
  10:28pm
Mike Sin:

So, I'm just lazin' around tonight heating up almond milk and loading it up with Frangelico and completely enjoying this show... especially this quirky Komeda track.
  10:28pm
Destroit:

+5 on the komeda track
  10:29pm
Jeffersonic/Jervix:

One great track after another! Thank you, Pseu!
  10:33pm
P-90:

This set is lifting my spirits in spite of myself.
  10:34pm
other david, damnit:

P-90 ditto!
  10:34pm
G:

"Imagine That" released July 2011...
  10:35pm
eastvanhalen:

Cherry NyQuil and Andrew Gold FTW.
  10:37pm
Destroit:

Oh my. Frangelico and warm almond milk. Sounds just awful yet interesting in the same breath. Keep movin pseu, good stuff
  10:38pm
P-90:

Gotta try that Frangelico & almond milk. Maybe add some Cherry NyQuil? A new traditional cocktail for the weird week between Christmas and New Years?
  10:39pm
PB:

What is Frangelico?
  10:41pm
G:

hazelnut liqueur
  10:42pm
Mike Sin:

Folks -- the warm almond milk + Frangelico is deliciously aweome in the winter time. That mixture of almonds and hazlenuts is something quite cozy. I'm heading back to the stove....
  10:46pm
G:

wikipedia: In the movie The Love Guru the character played by Stephen Colbert mentions he had a recent addiction to Frangelico.
  10:47pm
Destroit:

Thanks for the Sunday's song. Great.
  10:48pm
P-90:

Even though I now know that S. Colbert is in it, I STILL have no desire to see that particular flick...
  10:52pm
GRC:

Great show
  10:53pm
Destroit:

@ mr thirsty: made me laugh
  10:57pm
Joe E:

Are you playing this song because it's absurdist, or because you really like it?
  10:58pm
other david, damnit:

GIVE US HELL, PSEU!
  10:58pm
eastvanhalen:

Oh wow, I didn't know that Andrew Gold died this year.
  10:58pm
Skirkie:

Didja know Tom Hanks tweeted about yous guys today?
  10:59pm
I X Key!:

Good morning, awesome show!
  10:59pm
Destroit:

  11:02pm
other david, damnit:

He *must* be the man behind the Krampus movie
  11:02pm
Rob from Maryland:

P-90:

Pseu choking on "special announcements" LOL
  11:07pm
glenn:

  11:12pm
Droll:

@suea: I assure you the lady with the sharp pointy thing in one hand and a 45 (rpm) in the other means business on both hands.
  11:19pm
Trey Monkeystasio:

I wish I was out at Phish right now
  11:20pm
suea:

glenn. seriously, no. she just seems angry. i wondered if this is always or just for New Years. Maybe she is drinking gin. IDK! I never listened before.
  11:22pm
glenn:

i'd rather hear earnest snarkiness than the fake vanilla bullshit that passes for repartee on most radio stations.
  11:24pm
P-90:

@suea: Surly? Our hostess is in one of her sparkliest moods! Remember, this signal does originate in New Joisey.
  11:24pm
glenn:

plus pseu plays awesome fuckin' tunes.
  11:24pm
Schwaab:

Thanks for all the hooks and stuff, pusoo!
  11:24pm
suea:

yikes glenn. stay off the gin!
  11:25pm
Skirkie:

I think the modifiers you're looking for are, "sassy." Or possibly "sultry."
  11:25pm
eastvanhalen:

He's not drinking gin. I've been feeding everyone NyQuil since six, except for that dude who persists in drinking Frangelico.
  11:26pm
glenn:

i don't drink.
  11:26pm
other david, damnit:

what the.. what
  11:30pm
Trey Monkeystasio:

I also wish I was out at The New Deal, who are playing the post Phish show at Highline Ballroom, and who's Dan Kurtz is one half of Dragonette who are awesome. Does anyone have any acid? Seriously. Get at me dawg
  11:31pm
eastvanhalen:

The last time I heard this song was at the last Canucks game I went to. Hockey music is really curious.
  11:32pm
Schwaab:

Relation to MIA?
  11:32pm
glenn:

Super rad Lindsey choice tonight!
  11:34pm

Rob from Maryland:

I am having a happy ABBA new year, thanks!
  11:36pm
eastvanhalen:

Ok, so the ABBA thing: can I admit that SOS will, in all circumstances, make me dance around the living room? ABBA 2012! (Take that, Rush.)
  11:37pm
glenn:

abba's great. not everything has to be sun ra and john coltrane all the time.
