Good greetings Steinski Masses!
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:08pm listener james from westwood:

i think there were a couple of "sleeper" snippets in there!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

Dug it! (Doug it)
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:17pm Ricardo Montalban:

Funny. I just watched Sleeper again for the first time in like 20 years.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:18pm kat330:

What a new take on a classic! Hi, everyone -- here, but lunching.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:18pm kat330:

"Sleeper" is one of my favorite early Allen's.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:19pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi (again) Ricardo and kat330!
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:20pm kat330:

Abuse of DJ powers! :)
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:20pm kat330:

[from the snippet, I meant]
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:21pm Doug Schulkind:

When it comes to Steinski, I think you must mean DJ superpowers, kat330!
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:23pm kat330:

Won't argue with that. Hope it's understood I was referring to the "Play Lena for Me" anecdote.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:24pm kat330:

A little "Phantom of the Opera" riff mixed in with Walk the Line.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:27pm Alex in Illinois:

Just when I think I have heard everythng by James Brown, or all his basic grooves, a curious D.J. finds another treasure. Only on either college or indiependent Radio!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:27pm Doug Schulkind:

No sound source is off-limits for the mighty Steinski.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:28pm kat330:

Ha! Steinski practicing safe DJ sex!
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:29pm joe:

I have been dying to watch Sleeper for like the last two months now. Haven't seen it since I was a kid and hoping it is even funnier now then it was then.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:31pm listener james from westwood:

it was a couldn't-miss-it film for me as a kid. channel 11 in the nyc area seemed to play it fairly often. take the money and run, too.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:32pm kat330:

@joe: Don't go with expectations too high. At least I find second viewings of comedies I enjoyed when very young don't always hold up so well. I think you'll get the minimum Kermode measure of six laughs, though. :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:33pm Doug Schulkind:

@Alex
Steinski is pals with Harry Weinger, the producer of oodles of James Brown reissues (i.e., the man with his fingers in the vaults)

@Joe
Sleep totally holds up. As does Bananas and Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex...
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:33pm kat330:

@LJfW: "I have a nub"?

the ginsberg & cohen robot tailors still kill me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV2N4KSh3x4
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:34pm kat330:

"No, that's `gun'."
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:35pm listener james from westwood:

lol kat330: "abt naturally."
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:35pm kat330:

Humor us copy editors can especially appreciate. :)
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:37pm kat330:

Or rather "we" -- hey, I'm retired.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:37pm listener james from westwood:

indeed. especially this copy editor, who happens to have sub-virgil-starkwell handwriting. :D
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:38pm kat330:

Me, too. My 6th grade teacher more than recommended I take typing class as soon as it was offered.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:38pm listener james from westwood:

can't thank my mom enough for nudging me in the direction of woody allen as a kid. permanently shaped my sense of the absurd. she also gave me his 3 collections of short stories and his standup records. invaluable.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:39pm listener james from westwood:

it's sometimes a handicap (the writing) when i get on-paper proofreading jobs. no joke, i sometimes compose longer queries on scratch paper for practice.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:40pm Van in DC:

Late! Hi

@LJFW
Woody's stand-up bit about the moose on the hood of his car — hysterical.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:41pm kat330:

When I write personal thank-you notes and letters, I tend to just give up and print. At least it's legible then.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:42pm kat330:

And Needleman.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:44pm northguineahills:

Alright, it's the afternoon, so I can turn my subs on. The drops, damn!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Hiphop humor is the best humor.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:45pm northguineahills:

I was forced to type all of my papers since the third grade since my penmanship was so atrocious.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:45pm listener james from westwood:

"The moose—mingled. Did pretty well. Scored."
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:45pm kat330:

This would pair well with Dr. Bootygrabber -- a fave of Station Mg. Ken.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:46pm listener james from westwood:

I do regret the passing of the art of handwritten letters, but in my case it was a mercy killing. But I do own a Mad-Men era Smith-Corona!
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:46pm kat330:

Booty grabbing could lead to booty clap.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:47pm joe:

@kat330 yeah I get what you are saying there. Ive had that problem with a few of M. Brookes movies.
@Listener James you and I seem to be cut from the same cloth in our introduction to the movie. :)
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:47pm listener james from westwood:

I sent a letter to my congressman that I'd typed on it. Can only imagine what the reaction on the other side was. Considering I was talking about a 21st-century topic (online gaming), it made for a weird techno-blend.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:50pm listener james from westwood:

@kat330: If you were also give the 2,000 Year Old Man records by a parent and then intro'd to Monty Python on Channel 13 in 6th grade, I'm gonna speculate on our possible consanguinity. :D
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:51pm Van in DC:

Was that Steinski reading that?
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:52pm Doug Schulkind:

You ever meet my cousin? He's an ex-con, sanguine ninny.

@Van
No, that was Jim Marshall, otherwise known as "The Hound" and WFMU's most widely known DJ of the late 1980s to mid-1990s.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:53pm kat330:

We had possession for a few months of this typewriter while Philo made a short film of Shriek: http://bit.ly/MnGoSZ Forget the year of it, but 30s-40s or earlier I believe.
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:54pm Van in DC:

Wow, I thought it sounded a little like Steinski but with some really good effects going on :)
  Fri. 8/3/12 12:55pm kat330:

All my humor roots are from self-discovery or friend recommendation. While my dad was an original hoot, I didn't live with him and, besides, all his time was at the radio station, not the movies. My mother, well...let's just say she was German.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:56pm Doug Schulkind:

The Hound has a superlative music blog:

  Fri. 8/3/12 12:56pm kat330:

Oh, and my paternal grandmother was another original humorist. Very funny old lady. :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 12:57pm Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
I shortened your URL and the wrapping issue in the comments went poof!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:00pm kat330:

Sorrrrry. :( I'll stop posting them.
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:00pm joe:

Doug what are we going to do when the Steinski runs out? Do you have a back up plan :)
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:01pm kat330:

Thanks, Steinski, and thanks, Doug! Have a fine weekend everyone!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:02pm listener james from westwood:

i keep forgetting to go to bitly for comment shortening. they recently redid their site and it's less user friendly, so it's less of a fave now. but tinyurl is quite usable.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 1:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@Joe
Take a nap one hour earlier.
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:03pm listener james from westwood:

always a fun spin, doug. thanks, and enjoy the weekend, all!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:03pm Van in DC:

Yep, thanks!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:03pm northguineahills:

Had fun Doug, Have a great weekend!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:03pm listener james from westwood:

oh, those day-glo tapes from the smoke shop.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 1:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Bitly did screw things up. But the also appear to have fixed their mess. You can now enter the URL and get a copy of the shortened version in one click again.
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:05pm listener james from westwood:

thanks, doug; glad it wasn't just me.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 8/3/12 1:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Have a marvy weekend everyone. More great radio coming up on the stream next week, kicking off with a new show from Destination Out — D:O Radio, at noon on Monday.

Cheerio!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:06pm kat330:

Don't forget to watch the Mars Curiosity landing!! :>
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:06pm Van in DC:

Oooh! Any Liz Phair coming up on the stream? Maybe some Rod? :)

Byyyyyeee!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:07pm listener james from westwood:

did i wave at the signoff from "sleeper"? you bet i did.
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:07pm kat330:

@Van: You dawwwwg!
  Fri. 8/3/12 1:08pm Van in DC:

:)
  Tue. 8/7/12 1:36pm Chris:

Here's a tidbit: the writer Pat Conroy (Great Santini, Prince of Tides) has asked Marshall [Chapman] to sing her version of "I Walk the Line" at his funeral. BTW -- that song is from her 1978 album JADED VIRGIN. Thanks, guys!
