Listener comments!

♥ 11:45am doctorjazz:

"hitchin' a ride..."

♥ 11:53am Amanda:

Pretty swank way to travel if you ask me

♥ 12:00pm listener james from westwood:

As I mentioned in D:Oville, that cat is Ram Tough.

♥ 12:02pm Mike East:

Ram on...

12:03pm P-90:

Hi Amanda! Going for 48 hours straight with no famous/beloved musician deaths. Woo-hoo!

♥ 12:04pm Amanda:

SHHHH NOT SO LOUD!

♥ 12:05pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Amanda. Happy Birthday!

♥ 12:07pm Amanda:

This cat's favorite group is Rammstein and his favorite album is RAM.

Hi everybody, welcome! Thanks Ken HP! It was on Monday.

♥ 12:07pm Uncle Michael:

Ram Jam

♥ 12:08pm Jeff Golick:

Jesus, @P-90, don't you believe in the evil eye??

♥ 12:09pm Jeff Golick:

His favorite hip hop artist/tagger is Rammellzee.

♥ 12:10pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I'll bet his favorite movie character is Rambo.

♥ 12:11pm listener james from westwood:

Or Mola Ram from the second Indy film.

♥ 12:11pm listener james from westwood:

That Rachel Sweet track was a treat!

♥ 12:15pm Jeff Golick:

Amanda, with D:O Radio moving to Sundays after next week, there was request for the Scenario to run from 9am-2pm. Just saying.

♥ 12:17pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Three hours of Simpsons Time each Wednesday morning would be good.

♥ 12:18pm Amanda:

"Suggestion noted."

12:19pm MONEYBAG$:

This sounds like my copy of this record

♥ 12:22pm Uncle Michael:

@Jeff G...WHAAAAAAT?

♥ 12:24pm Amanda:

@LJfW, glad you like the Rachel Sweet! That was a favorite opener of mine when I used to DJ at the Ding Dong Lounge.

♥ 12:24pm Jeff Golick:

Just remembering the 30 Rock thing, the Black Crusaders, a secret group said to include Gordon from Sesame Street.

♥ 12:25pm Uncle Michael:

Suddenly I need some Baccardi.

12:25pm P-90:

Happiest of Belated Birthdays, Ms. Amanda!
And: wouldn't it be easier to just expand The Scenario to 12-3 PM? Much more sensible.

♥ 12:25pm Jeff Golick:

@UM: Yes, I got a job. It is a 9-5 type of deal. Thus: D:O Radio to Sunday mornings.

♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael:

Wow...congrats and good luck. What time Sundays?

♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael:

Amanda...did you find this track hard to find. You don't have the RECORD, do you??

♥ 12:28pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks. 9am!

♥ 12:31pm listener james from westwood:

I might still have the Monsters Sesame Street album at my dad's. It is quite likely in monstrous condition.

12:32pm ndbob:

afternoon Amanda and everyone!

12:34pm Polyus:

Amanda - you've probably seen this before, but in case you haven't. . .an Instagram site devoted to Simpsons tattoos:www.instagram.com...

♥ 12:34pm listener james from westwood:

Your voice was not unheard last week, thanks to Kurt.

12:35pm Polyus:

Serious deep referencess in there, I'm kind of in awe of some of those peoples' devotion.

12:35pm ndbob:

@Jeff congrats!

♥ 12:36pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @ndbob!

♥ 12:36pm Uncle Michael:

Glenn and Jackson cowrote it.

♥ 12:41pm Amanda:

Ah, well, then I guess I might play it. We'll see. I wrote a short story about "Take It Easy" actually. But it is hard to get stories published that have lyrics in them, so it was a quixotic pursuit.

♥ 12:43pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Jeff - Congrats on joining the taxpayer rolls.

♥ 12:48pm Nate K.:

This Tom Rush is hitting the spot right now.

♥ 12:51pm doctorjazz:

Power Pop! Like this Paul Collins Beat track.

12:52pm Dominick:

loving the set

12:55pm Dean:

@Jeff G.: Congratulations to you on the new gig. This puts a new spin on my family's Sunday mornings...

@Amanda: Hard to publish stories with lyrics due to copyright restrictions?

♥ 12:55pm Amanda:

@Polyus, thanks for sharing! I follow that account, and I agree -- it's amazing. My life has seriously improved like 2% or so since I found it.

♥ 12:56pm Amanda:

@Dean Exactly. Publishers won't touch it.

12:56pm Jeff g.:

Thx @KenHP! I am also loving this set.

1:00pm Jeff g.:

Is it the *fourth* album that should always be double live?

1:00pm Dean:

Publishers are risk averse idiots. Granted, reproducing an entire song poses a problem, but I'd bet a stanza or so would be fair use. The problem is that the threat of a suit, even one that isn't well-founded, is enough to scare them. And thus the norms that really drive the behaviors of artists and business people--as opposed to the law--are shifted toward risk aversion, and nobody wants to buck them. Of course, you could try to get permission.

1:03pm Jeff g.:

Thanks, Dean.

♥ 1:06pm Nate K.:

This Nude Party jam is cool.

♥ 1:06pm doctorjazz:

It's especially weird now that you can download or search any lyric out there on line!

1:06pm Dean:

You're welcome, Jeff g., unless you're a publisher, and you were being sarcastic, and I've offended you, in which case I'm sorry for painting all publishers as risk averse idiots with one sweep of a broad brush.

You could also parody the lyric, Amanda, which might very well undermine the whole point of quoting it in the first place. I am reminded of a cartoon my kids watch in which a character appears, Jason Wiebler, who sings a song, "Sweety, Sweety." I had to explain to them that the character was a parody of Justin Bieber.

1:07pm Dean:

And if you think being my kid and being explained to several times a day approaches child abuse, you're probably right.

1:08pm Jeff g.:

I'm to be an editor, Dean, as risk averse as they come! No offense taken whatsoever.

♥ 1:09pm listener james from westwood:

You've got to be a Stephen King or someone on his level before publishers lay out coin on song permissions for your work. It's almost easier to make up a fake song to quote from (which he did in "The Stand," I guess, but he still could've told his pub. he wanted half of "Hard Day's Night" and they'd likely have run off w/ check in hand).

1:10pm Dean:

Editors are rigorous and demanding, but not necessarily risk averse. You know, "il miglior fabbro" and all..

♥ 1:10pm Amanda:

I actually have come to find it a bit obnoxious when people quote song lyrics too much, because they're usually referencing a song that the reader is meant to know anyway. Musicians do it in their memoirs and it can be hilariously self-aggrandizing.

♥ 1:11pm listener james from westwood:

Editors are often bold. Their corporate bosses, and the lawyers they retain, are often somewhere on the scale from skittish to craven.

1:12pm Jeff g.:

Pynchon's made up lyrics are pretty good </lit-snobbery>

♥ 1:15pm listener james from westwood:

At my final full-time job, colleagues of mine and I received training on how to use a new video camera, purchased so we could ask conference attendees innocuous questions about the nursing profession and record their responses for use on the magazine's website. THEN we were shown the release form we had to have respondents sign. Two sides of a legal-sized sheet covered w/ fine print invoking all manner of illusory legal horrors. The report back from the conference was that lots of nurses were interested in chatting, but none of them did so upon seeing this Faustian fucking contract.

1:15pm Jeff g.:

Ok gotta run. Sorry to miss Simpsons Time™, Amanda, but there's always THE PODCAST.

Thanks!

♥ 1:16pm Amanda:

Thanks for listening, Jeff!!!

♥ 1:17pm listener james from westwood:

Novelty tracks like this shouldn't be so damned catchy. (See also the Hampster Dance.)

♥ 1:18pm Nate K.:

I see your point, Dean. But if you quote Henley and Frey without permission and then they come along after the story is published and say, "Oh, hey, that'll cost you $10,000 and there's nothing you can do about it." Are you being a risk-averse idiot or just not wanting to get fucked by the Eagles?

♥ 1:18pm Amanda:

I don't think you understand, James. Li'l Bub WROTE AND PERFORMED this.

♥ 1:21pm Nate K.:

Additionally, I think there are ways around writing about pop music in fiction without directly quoting lyrics. George Pelecanos does it a lot. If they're being used for more than just window dressing (which it sounds like might have been the case with your story Amanda), you can always go with fair use, too.

♥ 1:23pm listener james from westwood:

At your respective leisures, one of the greatest smash cuts in the Simpsons, from this ep: twitter.com...

♥ 1:27pm listener james from westwood:

"Hey, Willie, catch the football!"

1:27pm northguineahills:

Ha, I love that one james!

1:28pm northguineahills:

"Ahhh, watch out, Nelson is in the house!"

♥ 1:28pm listener james from westwood:

Nobody likes Milhouse, and nobody's gay for Moleman.

ngh: www.youtube.com...

♥ 1:31pm listener james from westwood:

Bart: "Aaaah! Lisa, run! It's Nelson, and he's IN OUR HOUSE!!"

1:31pm steve:

Bomb The Indians
And Take Their Casinos

♥ 1:32pm Nate K.:

Guts… and black stuff… and about 50 Slim Jims!!!!

1:32pm Dean:

I *might* be misrepresenting the law with respect to lyrics (as opposed to any other genre of the written word), but fair use permits quoting portions of Henley & Frey for the purpose of commenting on nature of the comment--criticism, instruction, parody, approval, etc.--and in terms of the nature of the commenting text--non-fiction, fiction, tabular data, etc. Thus, if I were emperor, even a fictional short story that quotes one or two stanzas of a well-known Eagles tune to depict a character's reverie respecting those lyrics would easily satisfy fair use.

♥ 1:33pm listener james from westwood:

"We're slawin' him up good!"

1:34pm Dean:

Ack. My comment on commenting barfed. Should read, "...for the purpose of commenting on those lyrics. I mean 'commenting' in the broadest sense, in terms of both the nature of the comment..."

♥ 1:39pm doctorjazz:

www.newyorker.com...

a bit of humor...

1:40pm steve:

what a great episode. curious - can anyone name an episode after season 10 that handles relationships as perfectly as this one?

1:47pm Dean:

Den-i-e-ce, isn't it?

1:48pm Dean:

Performing rights! Pay up!

♥ 1:49pm listener james from westwood:

Simpsons Time AND a story excerpt! These are fine days!

1:50pm steve:

yay

1:50pm P-90:

Excellent! Is the story (or excerpts) posted anywhere?

1:52pm northguineahills:

Fine stuff! Thanks for another great show!

♥ 1:53pm Nate K.:

@Dean, I would have a similar decree.

♥ 1:56pm Amanda:

@Dean, yes, I fixed it

@steve -- I'd vote for "The Way We Was" as my fav from *before* then, but I can't really think of a post-s10 one that's that good. I do kind of love "Dumbbell Indemnity" and Moe's failed romance with the flower lady.

♥ 1:56pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Smell ya later!

1:57pm ndbob:

excellent show Amanda!

♥ 1:59pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Amanda! (goes into kitchen, drops carrot into frying pan)

1:59pm P-90:

Thanks, Amanda!

♥ 2:01pm Nate K.:

Great show.

2:02pm steve:

good times as always Amanda!

♥ 2:02pm Amanda:

Bye everybody, and thank you for listening!
