Fri. 3/7/08 3:19am From: (mta) Tony

Geez! Alright already!

Fri. 3/7/08 3:21am From: Hatch

Tony, thank you for being our one and only commenter this evening. And thanks for the pledge too, of course.

sorry i cant donate, my first pledge put me in debt

Fri. 3/7/08 3:24am From: Hatch

As long as you pledged Mark, we consider you a friend.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:42am From: (mta) Tony

You're welcome, guys... it's my pleasure to be part of the magic. Yes, I started listening since '67 when fmu went free form with Vin Scelsa. I was 14 years old. Thank you for your kind words about me. I do what I can for the greatest station in the world.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:42am From: Andy C (UK)

Sorry - going to find something else to listen to - listen to WFMU for music not chat!

Fri. 3/7/08 3:44am From: (mta) Tony

Yeah, Andy, why don't you do that. Perhaps you should pick out a good archived show to listen to, instead. Don't forget to pledge anyway.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:45am From: Hatch

Boo.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:45am From: Hatch

Don't make us send Tony over there on a boat to beat you up.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:47am From: (mta) Tony

My bags are packed and will be happy to meet Andy in Picadilly for a shootout.

Fri. 3/7/08 3:52am From: (mta) Tony

Damn! I forgot about the airport metal detectors. Guess an old-fashioned bout would have to suffice. C'mon Andy, get with the program and show some understanding and consideration!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:05am From: Hatch

That's alright Tony, you can just pummel him with your fists.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:07am From: Ike

Perhaps that's why Hatch said "boat" not "plane." See, Hatch had it all thought out. In any case, Andy has meted out a sad punishment upon himself simply by switching off FMU.

Hatch, your phrasing is confusing there. You don't "get in the running" for a premium CD. It's guaranteed to anybody who pledges $75 or more during this show. Even a sad phone slave like me knows that. I'm sad I can't scrape together an additional pledge for this show. So many great shows to pledge for! Damn my budget.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:07am From: marion-Frenchie

yeah for chattin'!!! even when they speak, WFMU DJs rock you!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:09am From: Hatch

How bout you get in the running, Ike... for some fisticuffs. With MTA Tony.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:14am From: (mta) Tony

You're right, Ike, I should have paid better attention to Hatch's instruction. Guess I got carried away when my vision saw only RED. And you're right again when you say Andy only hurt himself. Surely he knows not what he said. No need for fisticuffs between us as we're on the same side! Hey Marion, get into it with us! Say something French...

Fri. 3/7/08 4:17am From: marion-Frenchie

Je peux pas!!!! désolée, je n'avais qu'un seul pledge dans ma poche! pourtant c'est pas l'envie qui me manque avec toutes les goodies à gagner =)

Fri. 3/7/08 4:19am From: marion-Frenchie

that's what happens when you write in another language on WFMU... the computer won't read the accents. so 1st word is desolee, second is a , add little ccents on the Es and on the A you get what I wanted to say

Fri. 3/7/08 4:20am From: Hatch

If only one of us spoke French...

Fri. 3/7/08 4:20am From: mark

avez vous une grande concumbre dans la maison?

Fri. 3/7/08 4:23am From: Rob W

Hey folks, I've noticed a few web listeners upset about the chatting during our fund shows but friends, if we don't pitch, we won't get pledges, and if we don't get pledges, we're out of business. Hopefully you'll agree our pitching is more fun and lively than on other non-commercial broadcasting outlets. And 50 weeks of the year most of us, um, do let the music do the talking!

So get behind Daniel and Hatch, leading the vanguard of WFMU's youth wing! It's especially nice to pledge to new djs, to overnight shows, when the phones aren't nearly as busy as during the day. Until recently FMU was careening towards a dj-geriatric abyss but now some really great younger djs have stepped up, and this means FMU can march proudly onward into the future. This is a great time to show your support for the next generation. Pledge via this page, or call 1-800-989-9368.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:23am From: Hatch

Oui, avec Daniel Blumin. Parlez vous 1-800-989-9368?

Fri. 3/7/08 4:29am From: (mta) Tony

Marion, here's my translation:
You poor soul...
Desolate ass, why don't you pledge without my pooch or else you will envy me much with many goodies to gag you with. Hope you got a giggle. Je comprende nada. Vousez Vous Avec Moi C'est Soir is about all I remember from from High School but I love hearing the language spoken. It's beautiful.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:29am From: marion-Frenchie

et bien, vous parlez FranCais finalement!!!! no I don't have a big cucumber in my house...

Fri. 3/7/08 4:31am From: marion-Frenchie

And tony, you've tried, but the translation is not quite right...I did get a giggle out out it though hee hee hee

Fri. 3/7/08 4:37am From: (mta) Tony

That's great, Marion, just having fun tonight. Can I ask where you are? I know I should remember from your previous posts, but I'm not even sure of your sex. You can call me just a dumb NYC guy, as if you didn't know.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:39am From: Hatch

No sex talk during the Blumin show.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:42am From: Hatch

Next prize: the terrific Summer Records Anthology CD. Some great late 70s/early 80s reggae, recorded in Canada.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:42am From: (mta) Tony

Yeah, the East Village, I got it. I used to go to the Fillmore East back in the day, as well as the Electric Circus among other places down there. God, I was only a kid. No sex talk, just wondering if you were male or female, like the name, "Carol" being either way. No biggie and don't freak, Daniel!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:44am From: Hatch

Sorry Tony, just pulling your leg.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:45am From: marion-Frenchie

My sex seem to be troubling you, my name isn't really helping an English speaker to guess it though. Marion is a girl name indeed, and I'm in Rennes, France. I don't usually call people dumb;) rest assure!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:49am From: (mta) Tony

Glad to hear that, Hatch, thanx for straightening me out. Going to bed now 'cause I gotta wake up early as I promised Hot Rod I would support her during her show as well so I gotta catch a few winks now to be up when she's on in just a little over an hour! Thanks and I hope you reach your Marathon goal this morning. Peace, Tony

Fri. 3/7/08 4:50am From: Hatch

Sleep well, Tony.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:51am From: marion-Frenchie

Can I add, that Tony deserves sleep, he's been pledging on every show I've listened to. you guys should play a lullaby for him!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:53am From: chris in london

great tunes right now

Fri. 3/7/08 4:53am From: mark

j'habite dans ma maison avec une tomato, zut alors!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:56am From: marion-Frenchie

ahahahahahah
c'est bon les tomates! j'en ai fait poussé dans mon appartement l'année dernière, je me suis régalée!
Great show guys!!! I love Fridays, I always start them in good spirits thanks to you, and Hot Rod.

Fri. 3/7/08 4:57am From: marion-Frenchie

F*** I won't write in French any more!

Fri. 3/7/08 4:58am From: (mta) Tony

Hi Marion, thanx for writing back. No, your name wasn't "troubleing" me, I was just interested. I have an uncle Marion so I know the name can be used either way, like "Carol" can. I was just wondering. Rennes must be beautiful. I've been throughout France's wine producing districts, to all the great chateaux (I'm not sure of the plural spelling) but unfortunately I missed Rennes. Thanks for supporting America's greatest radio station. I think you're a new listener (correct me if I'm wrong) and if so, you've entered a wonderful world of music. Make sure you tune into "Trouble's" show as she plays a LOT of GREAT and CLASSIC French songs I know you'd enjoy, in case you aren't aware of that already. Peace, Tony P.S. Thanks for not calling me a jerk

Fri. 3/7/08 5:07am From: marion-Frenchie

What!!! You're still up! Time to go to beddie now!
Glad you liked French wine testing! I never went on such a trip, cause I can never find someone who will drive me around!
Thanx for the hint about Trouble's show, I did listen to it before and it was good, yeah i'm a new listener, I discovered WFMU through a friend last year. and I sure do realize what great world I've entered! I used to listen to a similar radio when I was a teenager in my home town, but they started to talk too much about health and other youth related social matters to keep getting their grants... Too bad there isn't a public supported radio spirit in France, cause with our government, all the public cultural services are starting to crumble!

Fri. 3/7/08 5:14am From: dj - Copenhagen, Denmark

you've been spinning some AWESOME tunes Daniel, good work :)

Fri. 3/7/08 5:19am From: vigfus - NY

Good stuff again tonight!

Fri. 3/7/08 5:32am From: Hatch

Last chance for the Richard Youngs CD... we're also offering the 2 CD reissue of Joy Division's "Still" to a lucky pledger. Call 1-800-989-9368.

Fri. 3/7/08 8:24am From: D. Blumin
