Where do elephants come from? What\u2019s up? These are questions we ask ourselves but not usually out loud for fear of being labeled a person with unanswerable questions. But in Hearty\u2019s world, all questions are asked and then quickly forgotten as Hearty attempts to trick people into loving themselves and others through the art of confusion.Hearty White lives and doesn\u2019t work in Lexington, KY, birthplace of Richard Hell. His radio non-career spans decades. He loves you in theory.https:\/\/wfmu.org\/playlists\/HA"},{"startTime":{"@attributes":{"msec":""}},"title":"Comment:Dina Kelberman has created “Half Full, 2016”a series of animated GIFs depicting 'optimism' using found images of water situations"},{"startTime":{"@attributes":{"msec":""}},"title":"Comment:12.30pm Jason Willett and MC Schmidt - Optimism Showwillett and derek & clivewillett & schmidtbert kaempfert: watusi trumpetswillett, schmidt {bobby mcferrin}willett edit: happy talkwillett {bobby mcferrin} {ornette coleman} schmidtwillett & schmidt {mike curb congregation)mr. tap toesublime elevator musicjason willett is an American musician, known largely for his work with experimental rock groups including Half Japanese, Can Openers, Pleasant Livers, X-Ray Eyes, The Dramatics, The Jaunties, The Attitude Robots, Leprechaun Catering and many more.

So people can be outwardly very happy when they're privately very sad, hence a happy themed mix that sounds miserable. You can't be happy by just stating that you are over and over. It's not meant to be a massive downer as I'm an optimistic person just that you can't force happiness or fake it, just be grateful when it comes and to make the most of it.The mix is called Sadtimism which I don't think is a word anyone's used before. I thought of sadimism too but it's too close to sadism and I wouldn't want to give the wrong impression.Osymyso has been doing his thing since the early 1990's, lots of sampling, sound collage and daft beats. His career highlights are now so long ago it's embarrassing to mention them, he's currently in the process of seeking out a new career highlight to talk about. Due to work commitments osymsyo is in an effective hibernation, some would be mistaken for thinking he's stopped producing idiotic music but some fresh recordings will emerge sooner or later and he's hoping you'll stumble across them one day as you bounce around inside the internet.https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/osymyso"},{"startTime":{"@attributes":{"msec":""}},"title":"Comment:Dina Kelberman has created “Half Full, 2016”a series of animated GIFs depicting 'optimism' using found images of water situations"},{"startTime":{"@attributes":{"msec":""}},"title":"Comment:1.30pm Nick the Bard - OptimizedA (bad) Transformers fan-fic based around the delivery of a single line from the episode 'Divide and Conquer'.\u00a0 A line delivery I could never stand, even as a kid.\u00a0 Who had the episode on VHS.\u00a0 As one of only two Transformers tapes owned.\u00a0 That got watched over and over and over.\u00a0Nick the Bard started with WFMU in 2005, bringing along and leaving a mark with his own brand of stupid.\u00a0 He lives somewhere in the suburbs of New Jersey with his cat Barry, collecting action figures and instructional VHS tapes.\u00a0 Some have claimed him to be a wizard, others one of the few people that should be wearing a fez.http:\/\/wfmu.org\/playlists\/NB"},{"startTime":{"@attributes":{"msec":""}},"title":"Comment:2pm-3pm John Kilduff with Let\u2019s Paint TV live from Monty HallMr Let's Paint (John Kilduff) does it all!
