Listener comments!

  9:41pm
batgirl:

hiya bethany,,whuts cookin?? great show so far, did you have a groooooooovy weekend?? i did,,i was groooooooooooooovin all weekend!!!!!!!=)=)=)
  9:43pm
EH:

This clarinet piece is amazing.
  9:45pm
bethany:

Not so much grooving from this girl over the weekend, but it was restful. To take your question about cooking (absurdly) literally: tonight I ate a fine frozen meal of Indian food produced by Amy's Organics - Mataar Paneer, chickpeas & rice. Later: peach yogurt.
  10:04pm
Jon:

I don't think it's that weird either, but sometimes it is. It's great either way, in my opinion.
  10:05pm
Parq:

In this case, the definition of "weird" is "not suitable for Planet Walmart". The back of my hand to those who complain about the lack of "pretty" music. I for one say this show is a source for some of the prettiest sounds this side of sunspots.
  10:10pm
EH:

Did you just threaten to slap Bethany's mom? That's kinda... off.
  10:21pm
bethany:

I don't think my mom shops at Wal-Mart so she's excluded from the rage of pretty music. But really, I'm the first to understand what she means and I talk no offense. I'm flattered and she (and anyone else) tune in at all! ;)
  10:30pm
Parq:

Oh, was the "pretty" comment from your mom? I sorry. I was in the kitchen, so I didn't catch the whole sentence. I thought you were quoting a random commenter. Your mom is excluded from my ire, natch.
  10:39pm
bethany:

No offense taken. Again - If someone tunes in long enough to say "that's weird, I think I'll go listen to some pretty music instead" then I'm satisfied with that!

Also: this song by The Moglass is pretty much as close as it would get to having a "theme song" for this show. One of my favorites, I think I play it every fiscal quarter.
  10:48pm
Kyle:

4 minute warning!!
  10:52pm
bethany:

I got disc 2 for Xmas!! Discbox!!! Lucky me. Wondered if you'd pop yo, Kyle!
  10:55pm
Kyle:

I, unfortunately have not gotten my hands on the discbox... I am slacking. But I am getting ready to save up for when they play here in August!
  11:00pm
bethany:

Haven't seen that tour schedule yet. When? Where?
  11:01pm
rona:

hi stephanie. almost good show. do you lissen to the beatles much?
  11:02pm
slugluv1313:

i agree with Parq!

some of THEE most prettiest music i have ever heard has been right here on Bethany's show!
  11:06pm
Kyle:

http://www.radiohead.com/tourdates/

They will probably play at MSG...date isn't certain yet. I need to get tickets when they go on sale, I cannot miss them
  11:07pm
Aaron:

Are there any plans to have singer/songwriter Becca Stevens on your show? Her myspace page says that she will be on the show tonight, but this doesn't seem likely, given that it is 11:06 already.

Your show is consistently quite good, BTW....
  11:08pm
ranjit:

hey slug, me too. And some of the ugliest too!
  11:10pm
bethany:

The talented Ms. Stevens and band will be on the program March 16, a date closer to her debut CD release at Barbes on March 19. Mark your calendars!
  11:35pm
slugluv1313:

oh, goshers, i think that it is ALL beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11:37pm
bethany:

I'm a bit skeptical of these pan-flute sounding bits...tell you the truth.
  11:44pm
Pete:

Just for the record, "Weird" was intended as a high compliment. Weird=wonderful.
  11:47pm
Ike:

Hooray for weird!
  11:51pm
FJ Torres:

Excellent music, both weird and pretty.
Each show brings revelations.
Thanks.
  11:53pm
bethany:

Oh - Pete! I think that more than anything we were all in need of a long tangential semiotic thread. I think we all understand the concepts of weird and pretty in the larger sense...I've never known message boards like this to convey context. (tiny hommage to McLuhan...)
  11:59pm
Willy Voet:

What's your last talk-over music?
  2:58am
bethany:

The last talk-over piece is by Mark Mothersbaugh from the The Royal Tenenbaums score. It's called "Lindbergh Palace Hotel Suite" I believe.
  4:49am
ike:

where is weird
  10:58am
Here:

perhaps if the ike gentleman likes this show he is as hutch says perhaps not without good side.i empathise
  11:15am
are we not men?:

cut the pinko good vibrations we"re giving citations.i bet they live on welfare perhaps many more! this wmfu station is nothing but intresting and people love it. what 21 century phenonena is this. just stick to air that make cry for states
  11:19am
b.lugosi:

do you mean like tom petty?
  11:42am
prussian blue:

i think he means us folks
  12:21pm
fred semiotic:

here comes everyone
  3:07pm
P.S. Mueller:

The title is appropriate and the music certainly accomplishes the goal. Wonderful.
