Welcome back Tony! Great fill-in from Rich last week, but you were missed. | |
|

Morning Tony! Been up waiting for you, hope that isn't too creepy... | |

tonyc:
Hey there, listener James and Jeremy! Jeremy: Does that mean you go back to sleep right after my show? |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:06pm
Major Tom:
Major Tom to Tony Caulter, Come in TC, Great show last week for our Rich, hoping for some good stuff from you now | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:07pm

I can hear you Major Tom.... |

By the by, F. Steel is from Mexico and Falafel Avantgarde is from Israel. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:12pm
Major Tom:
Falafel avantgarde, is there experimental hummus with it! | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:15pm
tonyc:
No, but there is some microtonal pita for anybody that wants it. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:17pm
Manuel:
Hola Tony, hola everybody, hola drogas! | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:18pm
tonyc:
Hola, Manuel! |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:18pm
Major Tom:
mixed it yourself? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:18pm
kat330:
I falafel I'm so tardy to the party, and it's a pita I missed the opening appetizers. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:18pm
tonyc:
Yessum. |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:19pm
tonyc:
Yessum on the mix, that is. Greetings, Great Kat! |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:20pm
Van in DC:
Late but crab sandwich was calling :) Hi Tony and peoples. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:20pm
kat330:
Hi, Tony! Perhaps you could hummus the opening selections so I can ketchup? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:21pm
kat330:
This is a great party mix you're serving up, btw. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:22pm
tonyc:
Thanks, Kat. I'd hum the opening part of the show for you, but I'm fresh out of reverb. |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:24pm
tonyc:
Hey Van! (Tardy greetings....) |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:25pm
Major Tom:
A few more spicy delights:- Hot Burrito #1 - The Flying Burrito Brothers Life Is A Minestrone - 10cc Mean Mr. Mustard - The Beatles | |

Ricardo Montalban:
Hey, Tony! Was late for work, due to an eye appointment. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:28pm
tonyc:
Hey Rich! Hope you've still got both your eyes! Thanks again for last week's great fill-in. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:28pm
Major Tom:
what you have now sounds a whole lot better than the real player archives that I am digging into at the moment. They really sound muffled compared to your present system? Anything I can do to make them sound better? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:29pm
Ricardo Montalban:
Was loads o' fun! Thanks again for letting me house-sit your radio show. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:29pm
kat330:
Many of us are dragging in fashionably late for our DJ's return party! Say, Tony, how was your vacation in Tacoma and beyond? | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:32pm
tonyc:
Major Tom: You mean older archives that are only in real player? Nothing much can be done about their crappy sound, I'm afraid. Kat33o: Tacoma was mega hot -- could barely walk the streets without wilting, but excellent for vinyl: bought loads of (cheap) LPs. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:34pm
kat330:
Turn the sound down and this will provide nice visuals for the current (and probably future) tuneage here: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120806.html | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:34pm
tonyc:
Kat330: Oh wait: the answer I gave you was for Yakima! Takoma was a month ago. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:36pm
Major Tom:
so its not just my pc sound card then, its the overall sound quality of real player's compression etc. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:37pm
listener james from westwood:
@ricardo: is today eye-doctor tuesday? i've got a date with the eye chart later this afternoon. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:37pm
tonyc:
Yep, real audio is quite compressed. The station couldn't wait to drop it, once something better came along. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:39pm
kat330:
That's right -- actually couldn't remember the last WA city mentioned. I have friends who live outside Portland in Warren. A place big enough for a donkey [Don Quixote] and several goats. Visited them and your very fair city in '98. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:41pm
tonyc:
Hope you eye-doctor people have better luck than I did with my last attempt to purchase new specs: The store lost my frames, then went out of business in the middle of fitting new frames with lenses. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:42pm
kat330:
I wonder if the "NO NAMES" aka is an anagram for The Attackers? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:42pm
Doug S.:
Soon we'll all be going to the iDoctor, which will constitute coughing into our keyboards and waiting for a diagnosis. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:42pm
Ricardo Montalban:
I keep breaking my glasses and now they're almost entirely made of super glue. Time for some new specs. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:43pm
tonyc:
Hey there iDoug! |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:44pm
Ricardo Montalban:
Glad to hear Tacoma was fruitful, record-wise. Was it mainly thrift store picking, or was it actual record stores? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:44pm
listener james from westwood:
geez, tony, that's like one of those bridal/prom dress stories, where the owner of the shop lams it or goes bust before delivering the goods. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:45pm
kat330:
@Rich: Yeah, I seem to have many mishaps with my spectacles as well, so I just buy the cheapest I can to start with. Last December I got two very happy-with pairs for $99. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:46pm
tonyc:
@ Ricardo M: Actually, it was Yakima that was fruitful -- appropriate since it's a fruit-growing center. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:46pm
Major Tom:
Tony, I once walked across 1 of the Five Bridges the Nice are refering to in the Album title - the 5 bridges that connect Newcastle UK to Gateshead. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:47pm
Ricardo Montalban:
Kat330: me too! I am also thinking of buying backup specs from those Chinese 39 dollar glasses sites. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:47pm
northguineahills:
Been listening the whole time while cooking & watching soccer/football. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:47pm
tonyc:
Listener James: I've got a nice set of specs now -- but I plan to never buy another pair. Major Tom: interesting! Had no idea what 5 Bridges referred to. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:48pm
kat330:
I imagine they have Dr. Bizer your way? Just about as cheap at $50/pair including a free exam (a special for the holidays). But they were very limited in the frames incl. in the sale, of course. Just got lucky. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:49pm
Ike:
Primitive method sounds A-OK to me. Good show! | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:49pm
tonyc:
Greetings, northguineahills! |

Tue. 8/7/12 12:49pm
kat330:
Whatcha cookin' NGH? :) | |

tonyc:
This Arik Einstein is a cover of a Churchill's song -- I'll be playing the original next. The Churchill's are actually backing Einstein, so in a way it's not a cover, but a rerecording. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 12:59pm
Van in DC:
Hmm. I saw Almost Einstein live recently. No relation :) | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:01pm
tonyc:
And then there's Forever Einstein, who aren't too shabby either. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:02pm
northguineahills:
Just refried beans, w/ epazote, jalapenos, onions, ajices dulces (chiles), scrambled egg, and queso cotija. However, I just realized i'm out of tortillas, so, I'll have to make due. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:03pm
kat330:
Und ein Steinski auf GTDR, also. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:05pm
kat330:
@ngh: "Just"?! Sounds as good as Van's fancy-shmancy crab sandwich. But I trump you all with my organic garden-fresh, homegrown tomato slices, part of a whole wheat BLT. :) | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:06pm
tonyc:
Nice yoklar, kat. No Derdiyoklars, please. Derdiyoklat Ikilisi are from Turkey, by the way. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:10pm
Van in DC:
Nothing fancy Kat, just a Kaiser roll thingy with crab and some other stuff in the middle :) | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:11pm
northguineahills:
The only thing ready in my garden is the spearmint, dill, mustard greens. just finished at 4'x11"x11" plant box for my fire escape. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:12pm
kat330:
You lost me, Tony. THought a translation would help, but it doesn't "The No Problems" or just "polls" for yoklar? @Van: And, yes, I guess you're near the best place to get crabs. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:13pm
tonyc:
Hope no one shorts out their computers what with all this salsa, mustard, and mayonnaise dripping everywhere. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:14pm
kat330:
Well, I can't brag much about this year's garden -- drought-ridden -- but the herb container bed is out of control. Wish I could send all of youse a handful of fresh thyme -- HUGE this summer. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:14pm
tonyc:
@ kat330: No dirty (derdi) jokes (yoklars), please. I lost myself... |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:16pm
kat330:
Ah, OK, I sort of thought you were going for the homophones. But why the nix on derdi? Limericks are my specialty! :) | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:24pm
northguineahills:
Thyme would be nice, I'm not growing any this year. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:26pm
tonyc:
"No Thyme" -- isn't that a song by the Guess Who? Or am I thinking of "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and No Thyme"? |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:28pm
Van in DC:
Oh hey was that Stephen Hawking just before...? :) | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:30pm
kat330:
What's funny about that Rabbit track is, just a couple of hours earlier, I recorded a robot-themed limerick using a robot voice -- my own, however, not manipulated. :) | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:30pm
tonyc:
Stephen Hawking, a rabbit, and a wooden Indian walked into a bar.... |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:31pm
tonyc:
In case you're wondering, that's Satie's "Gnossiennes" poking through the mist.... |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:31pm
kat330:
Well, ngh, et al, you're welcome to come on by here in Knob Knee and grab a fistful of my thyme. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:33pm
kat330:
[However, I have no thyme for sergeants.] | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:38pm
tonyc:
Just pepper for sergeants? |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:39pm
northguineahills:
ha, thanks kat! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:41pm
kat330:
Just sage advice: Ain't gonna study war no more. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:45pm
tonyc:
This set has achieved 100% Canadian content. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:51pm
Major Tom:
who is playing bass on this track? | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:53pm
tonyc:
Iung is -- plus everything else, via the miracle of overdubbing. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:54pm
kat330:
Melodica, too, yes? | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:56pm
tonyc:
Melodica, si. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:56pm
Major Tom:
is anyone else having problems with listener comments - they are not renewing automatically but I am having to keep renewing the whole page to get the most recent comments? | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 1:58pm
tonyc:
There's always a bit of delay for me -- but no more than usual today. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:02pm
kat330:
Tom, there was a Major problem with comments on Friday and yesterday, but so far today seems OK. But I have a habit of refreshing a lot even if unnecessary. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:02pm
Van in DC:
My comments seem to be behaving okay | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:03pm
Ricardo Montalban:
Works fine for me, too. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:04pm
tonyc:
Of course, there could be hundreds of posts we're not seeing. Think of how witty they all are. |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:05pm
tonyc:
Who's eating chips during my show? |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:05pm
northguineahills:
Henry Gwiazda reminds me of Steve Fisk. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:08pm
tonyc:
Somehow missed the Fisk train -- never had anything of his. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:19pm
conrad:
Comments have been buggy for me too Major Tom - like you, I have to manually refesh. I was almost gonna post something about how no-one's commenting today, until I refereshed and a wave of new comments came cascading doing my screen. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:20pm
conrad:
I meant 'cascading DOWN my screen.' | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:21pm
tonyc:
Your post is in the post. |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:21pm
tonyc:
Hey, Conrad.... |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:23pm
Doug S.:
I just double-checked all the settings on Tony's playlist set-up and the commenting feature is fine. Last week we had some rather long URLs entered into Comments which caused a wrapping problem, but all is copacetic here. Of course, I had to post this comment next week just to get it to show up now... | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:26pm
tonyc:
Well, I actually did this show last year -- I used some really heavy delay, so it's only becoming audible now. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:28pm
kat330:
An over-abundance of thyme, I tell you. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:28pm
tonyc:
A thyme warp? |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:29pm
kat330:
And yet it's only seven minutes to pique our Curiosity on Mars! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:30pm
Doug S.:
By weird happenstance, I am adding a lovely Jaap Blonk collection to my hard drive just now. This track seems utterly, eerily appropriate. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:31pm
northguineahills:
All of Steve Fisk's stuff I have was on SST recs, oddly enough. Really digging this Slavenski. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:31pm
tonyc:
There's probably something wrong with me, but I couldn't care less about Mars or the moon. I do care about Jaap Blonk, though. |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:32pm
tonyc:
@ northguineahills: Glad you like the Slavenski! He's sort of like a Yugoslavian Bartok. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:33pm
kat330:
Well, as a Kat I can't help but be curious. AND I, too, quite enjoy the Slavenski (just as it ended for me). | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:33pm
kat330:
Yes, Bartok, whom I adore. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:37pm
tonyc:
Not trying to discourage Mars fever -- just find myself paying no attention. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:38pm
kat330:
This Aerial Tarts might be suggesting why it's a good idea to care about Mars. May be needed for colonization at the rate we're destroying our marbled blue bowling ball. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:38pm
tonyc:
Not having a TV (just a monitor) is part of my Mars obliviousness, I'm sure. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:39pm
conrad:
hey Tony! The off-the-record chatter in the science world is that there was life on Mars at one point, and they rushed Curiosity up so soon after the Mars Rovers a few years ago to clinch the evidence. So the discovery of real live (fossilized) Martians might make you Mars-indifferent folks into maybe Martian-curious. (Which sounds like a personal ad of the future.) | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:41pm
tonyc:
I'd date a Martian -- at least based on some of the sci-fi movies I've seen. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:42pm
Doug Schulkind:
GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... Two more fine broadcasts are coming your way this evening on the Drummer Stream: Give the Drummer Some (6-7pm, Eastern) live from Studio P (Pittsburgh) and Kaminsky Kamoutsky with Jesse (7-9pm) live from Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. When Tony's show ends (sadly it has to) make sure to carbo load sufficiently before returning catch more great radio. See you at 6! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:46pm
Major Tom:
another problem is that the comments no longer fit the space provided. I have to cut down on the playlist screen to get al the comments in the space. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:46pm
kat330:
@conrad & tony: THIS is a cool Mars discovery IMO: http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/ap120718.html | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:47pm
Major Tom:
Doug , whats the concept for your 6pm show? | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:48pm
Van in DC:
I love the APOD. And Curiosity. And Martians. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:49pm
Van in DC:
Thanks Tony! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:49pm
kat330:
And crabs. :) Haven't heard much from my blood-brother, LJfW today, but Van, I think you are one, too. Lots of bros and sis' in the FMU family I've curiously discovered. | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:49pm
tonyc:
Re playlist comments problems: Maybe we need the Spiders from Mars to get rid of some of the bugs. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:50pm
kat330:
Virtually, Tony, today's program has been an edible moveable feast! My ears say "yummy!" and thanks! | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:50pm
tonyc:
You're welcome, Van and Kat -- but don't go away yet -- there's another 10 minutes of music. |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:51pm
northguineahills:
I was wondering why Curiosity came together so quickly, at least in terms of usual NASA project timelines. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:51pm
listener james from westwood:
kind of you to say, kat! been wrapping my head around writing ahead of a deadline this afternoon, so i've been uncomfortably mum. :) | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:52pm
Van in DC:
Spiders! From Mars! Ha! And I had just posted this pic earlier on the twitter :) http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/536600_454174941281819_1184009155_n.jpg | |

Ooops, Van, the marginf*ck is back thanks to that. At least it comes at the tail end. | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:57pm
kat330:
Ta-ta, everyone! May your margins always be justified! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:58pm
Van in DC:
sorry... :( I thought the long URL issue had been fixed... guess I need to learn to use that tinyurl thingy | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:58pm
Van in DC:
Byyyyye all, see ya in the past tonight Doug from the future! | |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:59pm

i like my politics like i like my documents: left aligned. | |

Thanks tony, awesome set! | |

|
Tue. 8/7/12 2:59pm

Sayonara, everyone. Thanks for listening and see you next week..... |
|
Tue. 8/7/12 3:00pm
listener james from westwood:
thanks a tidy ton for the fine show, tony! may miss the six-o-clock show if my ophthalmologist is as late as he usually is. i'll listen by braille if he dilates my eyes. :) | |
|
|
Tue. 8/7/12 3:01pm

Thanks, Mr. N. G. Hills! |
