Helloooooo Liz and Liz' Listeners! | |

I saw some guys doing some weird drugs in a parking lot this weekend. I wonder if they were the bath salts. They would snort something and then pound their fists on their heads. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:13am
DCE:
man do I love this track! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:15am

This really is great. I never felt so relaxed on a Monday morning. | |

Hi everyone, wakey wakey! |

Mon. 8/13/12 9:20am
B23:
B23 here! My morning has been pretty crappy so far so I'm ready to slide into some great music | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:31am
Cheri Pi:
this is sick Liz Berg! Hi 23ness! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:33am
B23:
Oy, no sooner did I sit down in my office chair did I get a call from a customer with serious network issues and I have to go on site. Heh, the customer is 3 minutes from my house... no fun music for B23 this morning. You all are going to have to get through this without me. :-( | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:36am
Cheri Pi:
Damn you B23. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:36am
cobra dan:
Is it saying get your bath salts? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:38am
Cheri Pi:
God, I wonder what happened to Ken the other night. I didn't read his obit in the NYT so he must have survived. | |
|
|
♥
Mon. 8/13/12 9:43am
Liz B.:
Ken survived, he said the experience was pleasantly speedy, but he did take the lower end of the "recommended dosage." |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 9:44am
still b/p:
Didn't I see him in some of the earliest photos from the Curiosity rover? Great set so far to push and bounce along this Mondayne. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:01am
Sam:
Ken proved that bath salts are not only safe, but enjoyable. What a great public service. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:04am
Cheri Pi:
Ken glorified bath salts and dispelled cannibalistic "bad press" Win/Win | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:07am
DCE:
he has served humanity in a great capacity. | |

Liz B.:
Anyone catch the closing ceremony last night? Most of what I saw was a snoozefest, but I did like the Pet Shop Boys' get-ups. |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:22am
Cecile:
I am too. I just have a typography class for work. But still, first time since '89 I've been in a college classroom | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:23am
Berg:
greetings - glad I tuned in, getting the needed energy to finish off this first day of my last week at work! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:25am
dcp:
waited all night for the Who and then they said, ok, we're done. But we'll be back in an hour with the Who. I went to bed. Snoozefest is right. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:25am
Berg:
@LizB I was most moved by that part of the show with Kate Bush's music, even in her absentia.. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:26am
dcp:
Eric Idle was the best--can't believe he actually sang "Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it..." | |
|
|
♥
Mon. 8/13/12 10:28am
Liz B.:
Ha ha, oh yeah dcp, they were ready and bleeped the shit outta Mr. Idle. That kinda talk is no big deal on UK TV. |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:28am
Cecile:
I loved it. It was so over the top. And I kind of choked up watching all the athletes singing along to Wonderwall. The Brazilian number was also great. And the Spice Girls. And Jessie J. The only thing I really didn't like was Tinie Tempah. I don't think he has any rap chops. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:28am
Berg:
the price of the ticket to the ceremony was EUR1800 btw.. I was happy in front of my telly.. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:28am
Cecile:
And Annie Lennox was awesome as well. And Eric Idle! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:29am
joe:
'ello folks. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:29am
dcp:
yeah I guess the Limeys are more advanced than us when it comes to cussin' | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:29am
joe:
Liz I enjoyed securities lightbulb hats. I missed Pet Shop Boys and Madness which I was kind of bummed about. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:30am
Cecile:
Madness were superb. The place went INSANE. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:31am
jt:
yeah, it was scary how the crowd knew the madness lyrics like it was happy birthday | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:32am
dcp:
I liked that MSoTT piece. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:33am
joe:
Cecile glad to hear they got such a good reception. I'm sure it will pop up on line somewhere. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:35am
Cecile:
Wish You were Here really choked us up. I'm trying to figure out who was in the Brazilian number. Pele, of course, and Marisa Monte and a Brazilian supermodel, but there was a rapper who I swear was doing a part from an old Chico Science song! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:37am
dcp:
I thought most of it was embarrassingly over the top. I like that my kids got to see that John Lennon bit though. Imagine is still an intensely powerful song. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:37am
doca:
it was bnegão, i guess, former member of planet hemp (which was one of the great rap groups from 90's brazil). | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:39am
doca:
and if it was "maracatu atômico", it is from jorge mautner re-recorded later by chico science. an amazing song. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:39am
Cecile:
I'm talking about the guy in the poncho with lights. Is that bnegao? The press seems to be identifying him as the guy in the red outfit with the broom. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:40am
Cecile:
It was! It was!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:40am
BenG:
The whole thing was in the spirit of fun. It probably wasn't perfect in anybody's mind. They threw the kitchen sink at it. My hat's off to them. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:40am
joe:
Although I am starting to wonder if there is anything Brian May and Roger Taylor will say no to. :) | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:40am
Cecile:
I know it from Chico Science. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:41am
Cecile:
I wish they would say no to Paul Rogers and hire Adam Lambert if they're going to carry on. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:41am
doca:
no no, the one in lights is bnegão, the other is a street sweeper who is known to work after the samba "schools" passes through the avenue on the rio carnival. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:42am
Carmichael:
Good morning Liz, hi everyone. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:42am
Cecile:
BenG, it was OTT and whimsical and kind of nuts. Also the giant transparent octopus was as the Brits say, brilliant | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:42am
Carmichael:
Good morning Liz, hi everyone. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:42am
doca:
i found it strange that they're in a huge crisis and they have a lot of different ethnic groups over the entire uk, but the ceremonies were all very "british culture"-centered. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:43am
Cecile:
Oh, great, thanks doca. Fantastic. I will have to check him out, I was blown away by him. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:44am
joe:
I have a feeling Adam Lambert was not included due to his not being English. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:44am
doca:
yeah, you should check marcelo d2 an planet hemp too. they all make an excellent brazillian-tinged rap. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:45am
Cecile:
I know, joe, but I'm thinking of the future of Queen. Which I don't normally, but hey, the magic of Brian May. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:45am
Cheri Pi:
"when I'm rushing on my rounds"made me burst out in giggles. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:45am
Cecile:
I will do that, doca. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:46am
dcp:
well, I guess you sort have to leave your good taste at the door for these things... | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:46am
doca:
who was the woman who sang with queen? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:46am
Cecile:
oooh, FMA has bnegao music! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:47am
joe:
May still has his chops with out a doubt his playing was pretty damn impressive last night. I still think maybe they missed the boat with George Michael | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:48am
Cecile:
Jessie J, she's an upcoming UK pop star. She's even starting to get big in the States as well. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:48am
joe:
Jessie J...Not A Fan | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:49am
Cecile:
I think Freedom is still way too personal a song for George. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:49am
dcp:
jeeze, am I the only one on earth that can't stand Queen? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:49am
Cecile:
I thought she was OK. At least she wasn't autotuned. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:49am
doca:
thanks cecile, i haven't find it great, but as i've never saw her before i didn't know who it was | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:50am
Carmichael:
You mean no one liked George Michael?!? :-) I had to look up Take That; no idea wtf they were .... | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:50am
Cecile:
dcp, I take Queen in tiny, tiny doses. One or two songs at a time, it's the best stuff in the world. More than that, I feel like throwing up - it's so rich and OTT. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:50am
doca:
@dcp: me too, i found out that the most impressive consequence of the olympics was to transform "don't stop me now" into the new "we are the champions". | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:51am
joe:
@dcp personally not a huge Queen fan. I like May's guitar playing but out side of maybe an albums worth of material no not a big fan at all. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:51am
Cecile:
Robbie Williams's first band! Big everywhere but in the US. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:52am
Carmichael:
Pat, I loved the old Queen, but Paul Rodgers can take a long jump off a short pier, IMHO. Probably the worst choice ever to replace Mercury. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:52am
dcp:
ok, thanks, just checking... | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:53am
Cecile:
He's like the anti-Freddy, Carm. Why not Will Young from Pop Idol and Groove Armada or Adam Lambert? | |

this is new Redd Kross?? | |
|

♥
Mon. 8/13/12 10:57am
Liz B.:
Yep, new Red Kross! |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:57am
will:
Who unearthed Redd Kross and made them sound like the Cave Dogs?? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:58am
Cecile:
wow, doca. So now the name of the album "a lama a caos" is a tribute to lautner! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 10:59am
joe:
@Will Wow did you just invoke a Cave Dogs refrence :) | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:00am
dcp:
cool, new Redd Kross, new Mission of Burma. what else? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:00am
Cheri Pi:
god this is good. MoB never cease to amaze me | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:01am
dcp:
yeah, that was good, dang. Might have to go see them. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:01am
Cecile:
I always learn something new here, and today is a huge day! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:02am
dcp:
MoB coming to DC 9/8 all you DCers | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:02am
doca:
@Cecile: yeah, he's a big inspiration for the mangue beat scene in the 90's and i guess mautner was one of the few who combined the sound from northeastern brazil with psychedelia. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:03am
doca:
personnally i like him more than tom zé. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:05am
Carmichael:
My comments are not updating. Anyone else having that problem? | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:05am
Cecile:
I will have to check him out. thanks doca, I'll be busy for a while. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:07am
Cecile:
Carm, put it in basic mode. Fancy mode isn't working right now. Look at the top of the comments panel. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:07am
joe:
@Carmichael yes I am to I have to manually refresh. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:07am
doca:
@Cecile: yeah me too, but later i can translate the song's lyrics if you want! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:08am
Cecile:
he didn't even need to sing. He should have just held up cue cards. Everyone was belting it out. | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:09am
Cecile:
thanks, doca! | |
|
Mon. 8/13/12 11:12am
Cheri Pi:
you're so lucky DC-ers!!! | |

Mon. 8/13/12 11:12am

Like my wife said Gallagher sounded like he was trying impersonate himself from 1995 instead of just signing the song. | |
|

I speak as a Brit - I thought the closing ceremony was dreadful. Not a patch on the opening ceremony. | |

MOB did or is doing a free show in NY. I don't remember the date as I know it was a day I could not go. | |

MoB is circling around Ohio...but not getting in quite close enough. | |

It was on the 3rd I thought it might have passed already. | |

Mon. 8/13/12 11:19am
Berg:
While there was an intro for Rio, there wasn't even a word about the upcoming 2012 Summer Paralympics, starting on Aug 29 of this year on the very same location.. I guess nobody will stay up late to watch those.. | |

Mon. 8/13/12 11:20am

I most certainly did Joe. Best power pop band of the 80s (or was it the 90s?) | |

Officer Pupp:
Lizzington OTM, last night's was awful, awful, awful. Nothing about it could touch the eccentric genius of the opening ceremony. | |

Yes! Oblitum! Liz thank you for playing this track :-) | |

@Will I think it was the 90's. I was exposed them first by seeing them the Dead Milkmen. Very much enjoyed them. | |

Keep in mind if you were watching on NBC you were getting an edited version of what actually took place and to be honest I think NBC did a horrible job covering both cerimonies. | |

God bless WFMU for breaking the spell of mesmerism known as VH1 Classic and its parade of terrible flashback 80s hair-metal videos. I was in need of an intervention there... | |
