Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Tue. 9/18/12 3:26pm

jt:
my favorite part about that SCG track is that every time i here it, i think the girl is from a "mic in trac" recording | |
Tue. 9/18/12 3:38pm
Honey Water:
MFS sounds like Minister of Foreign Services or the like -- and you're in the right region for such a title. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 3:40pm
Honey Water:
You could be the MFS stationed in London and minister to MK. ;) | |

Hey there MfS. BT, did you go see ZZ? Were you a sharp dressed man? | |

BT:
It was amazing. |
Tue. 9/18/12 3:48pm
Honey Water:
Either I occasionally heard purring sounds during BT's talkover or my Squeezebox is coming to life. [Ooops, sorry about that, MFS -- a quick relocation up to Manchester then] | |

bennett4senate:
I really want to know the story about how ZZ ended up covering a Lil' Keke track... are ZZ from Houston as well? Or is this some weird old classic I don't know? | |

Yep, ZZ Top is from Houston. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 3:53pm
jmr3:
They are indeed from Houston. That's why they sound so humid. They're not from Dallas, that's for sure. | |

too bad record donations are just for cool eclectic records. I've got some lame boring records that I'd like to get rid of...sorry Donna Summer and The Police - I'm looking in your direction. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:26pm
Matt from Springfield:
Wow x2! #1: A cover of The Beatles "Girl" from Rubber Soul--never heard one before! #2: NOH MERCY covering The Beatles "Girl"!! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:26pm
BSI:
@Mike East: Even those can sound OK at 16RPM with tasteful applications of tremolo & reverb added for color... | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:27pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hey Mike. I believe the donated records will be sold at the fair, and profits donated to FMU. Isn't that how it goes BT? | |

These tracks are righteous BT. Jason Forrest is rocking my world | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:35pm
Matt from Springfield:
@HW: The word "facetiously" is the longest English word with all the vowels, in their alphabetical order. That would have: orderly vowel syndrome. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:37pm
DCE:
boy the server sucks today, all the words are just a smear | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:37pm

@Matt: And Automobile Insurance is a phrase that has aeiou twice and twice only. [Will be interesting if anyone commenting gets that timely reference] | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:39pm

whoa Matt! stop being facetious! | |

Loren:
hey listeners, BT... nothing better than picking up the headphones with someone singing about robot children! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:40pm
BSI:
god, this Robot Children track is ace. It would seem to DEMAND a Jobs For America track to follow it! But then, this here is wonderful as well. Do carry on... | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:40pm
Honey Water:
@Loren: At least robot children will not be eaten by Barry Louis Polisar. | |

pretty out of control... nice. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:47pm

from that to an acoustically strummed Gsus chord...Brian makes the world go round. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:47pm
Matt from Springfield:
If the Ectoplasm Girls wanted to make a video out of this, it would have to be anime--no way to do this without anime. Speaking of which, 70s sounding Japanese chanteuse! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:48pm
DCE:
think she was influenced by Joni Mitchell? | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:49pm
Stanley:
@Matt: There's this guy, walking down the street and he sees a signwriter working on a sign for a Fish and Chips shop. He notices something amiss and says to the signwriter "the spaces between the words "fish" and "and" and "and" and chips are not right! Ha ha - a sentence with five "ands" in a row. (I'll get my coat) | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:49pm

seasons in the sun is the most depressing song ever...I agree. | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:53pm
Matt from Springfield:
@DCE: The vocal is nice singer-songwriter, but the country-ish tone was probably influenced by Joni, and/or Patti Dahlstrom, like somewhere in between. And that was Gsus? I love suspended chords! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 4:53pm
paul:
rod mckuen wrote the english lyrics, the terry jacks version is pretty tame lyrically compared to the original french lyrics by jacques brel | |

Ah, that was the "Seasons In The Sun" B-side! Jacques Brel wrote, Rod McKuen translated the English lyrics in the early 60s. @Stanley: And and and and and have a great day! Take care DCE too! | |

mark from VT:
pretty good show today and I happened to be inside to hear the show this afternoon. cause of the crazy weather. I went up stairs, took off my new wfmu biker shirt, and put on the BT t-shirt. Now in the kitchen and the shirt can continue to get food stains on it. | |

Slop that thing up! |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:42pm
Lucas:
BT: Great!!! Moon Duo will play in your show!!!! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:45pm
Matt from Springfield:
Oh, I remember another DJ mentioning that "unmentionable" album title! Sounds like a good album. @mark: Your other shirts are so much cleaner too, I bet! The BT shirt is like a magnet and attracts all the other stains! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:46pm
Lucas:
I don't even use my terre t apron!! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:48pm
Ed Gein:
That gives me an idea... | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:49pm
Lucas:
once someone spilled red wine on my WF MU tshir and I was very upset and then sad | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:50pm
Matt from Springfield:
BBJr friggin' RAWKS! Woooohooooooo! | |
Tue. 9/18/12 5:53pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Terre's Cherries" apron can be used to present food to guests, while the BT t-shirt gets the stains while actually working on the food! @Lucas: That would make me sad, since I couldn't wear it to shows anymore without getting the stain out. But you can still wear it around the house. It's a metaphor for WFMU--the world throws what it will at it, but WFMU keeps moving along! | |

Phil in Cali:
"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" is a great little film. The end-of-the-world movie for chicks! And I loved it. | |

This is so awful that I find it difficult to turn off. | |
