This clarinet piece is amazing.

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.

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

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.

Did you just threaten to slap Bethany's mom? That's kinda... off.

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! ;)

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.

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.

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!

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

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....

hey slug, me too. And some of the ugliest too!

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!

I'm a bit skeptical of these pan-flute sounding bits...tell you the truth.

Just for the record, "Weird" was intended as a high compliment. Weird=wonderful.
Sun. 2/17/08 11:47pm
From:
Ike
Hooray for weird!

Excellent music, both weird and pretty.
Each show brings revelations.
Thanks.

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...)

What's your last talk-over music?
Mon. 2/18/08 2:58am
From:
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.
