And lo, my eyes opened to the light; it was Hot Rod, with a sword of blazing fire and an aura of musical malice.

Morning all!

Fri. 4/4/08 6:13am From: (mta) Tony

I can't read a thing...
with this color scheme!
Please change it back to anything else!

Fri. 4/4/08 6:26am From: marionfrenchie

hello!
what's the animation? dancers? Love it!

Fri. 4/4/08 6:58am From: HotRod

HEY RYAN!!! I LOVE IT!!! :)

You're totally right, (mta) Tony. Refresh and see what you think of the text color now.

Fri. 4/4/08 7:03am From: HotRod

Hi marionfrenchie! Dancers? I guess you can call them that...

Fri. 4/4/08 7:05am From: Ryan

Dancing? I thought it was a man's head getting taught a serious lesson about gravity.

Fri. 4/4/08 7:08am From: marionfrenchie

I don't know, I find it very gracious...maybe cause of the speed, or the repetition...
good music HotRod! thanks!

Fri. 4/4/08 7:15am From: london chris (one of them..)

hi HR, went to see Wildbirds & Peacedrums after hearing them on your show last week. A-MAZING show, and a really nice intimate venue. So - thanks! Highly recommended to one and all..

Fri. 4/4/08 7:17am From: HotRod

Wow! That's amazing, Chris!

Has anyone else gone to any good shows recently?

Fri. 4/4/08 7:26am From: yenvalmar

god damn its hard to find this live comment thing- thats probably why i never bothered before. but since i was ordered. i am working very late/early in seattle and the beatz are keeping me alive.

Fri. 4/4/08 7:28am From: marionfrenchie

welcome to the live comment club Yenvalmar, where everything can happen!
no a lot of good shows around here I can mention :( HotRod...

Fri. 4/4/08 7:30am From: yenvalmar

they need to put a button right on the main page that says COMMENT ON THE LIVE SHOW. or would that make it too accessible?

Fri. 4/4/08 7:31am From: listener jeremy

i saw kid koala here in DC a few months back. sweet show. also saw russian circles very recently. good stuff

Fri. 4/4/08 7:32am From: yenvalmar

i found this by googling hot rods playlist then going through to the current date, as i wasted a good 5 minutes of my precious time trying to find it thru the real fmu page. the lengths i go to support this station

Fri. 4/4/08 7:33am From: HotRod

Yes! Welcome Yenvalmar!!!

Going to the main WFMU homepage and clicking on SEE THE PLAYLIST is just that. That allows you to comment on the show that's currently airing, assuming the DJ enables commenting.

Fri. 4/4/08 7:36am From: yenvalmar

aha! well, speaking for dumbasses everywhere thats not INCREDIBLY intuitive but then since when does FMU pander to the lowest common denominator. now im in the club, pity those uneducated louts in the great unwashed!

Fri. 4/4/08 7:36am From: HotRod

Hey Jeremy!!!

Who else is out there??? Reveal yourselves!!!

Fri. 4/4/08 7:37am From: listener jeremy

late night parking in seattle $10
chinese food $13
two cokes and a bag of cheetos $2.50

spending five minutes to find hotrods playlist... priceless

Fri. 4/4/08 7:38am From: HotRod

Where are you from, yenvalmar?

Fri. 4/4/08 7:39am From: HotRod

Jeremy! You're the best! Hahaha!!!

Fri. 4/4/08 7:41am From: yenvalmar

originally baltimore.. i found out about fmu visiting friends in ny back in the day, then the web thing came along so i listen online all the time for the past several years..

thats pretty much how it is, yeah, very nice mise en scene there jeremy. cold pizza tonight tho.

Fri. 4/4/08 7:55am From: marionfrenchie

pizza! yeah! I'm making my own tonight, and it's gonna be good!!!

Fri. 4/4/08 7:59am From: listener jeremy

no pizza for me. tonight, i'm going to bbq some chicken that's been marinating for a few days. and then throw it on a salad. hopefully the wood i had set aside in the grill isn't soaked with all the rain we've gotten... but it probably is.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:03am From: london chris (the same one)

mmm, bbq.. we had literally about two days of summer last year, so I'm hoping for a ton of bbqs this time round! may your wood be dry. (...?)

Fri. 4/4/08 8:07am From: Ryan

Calamari tempura: the tastiest of fried snacks?

Also, where everyone is from? We have a lonely comment board today. ='(

Fri. 4/4/08 8:07am From: Ryan

No wonder, my browser stopped refreshing! >.<

Fri. 4/4/08 8:08am From: listener jeremy

thanks. the bbq i have is not propane. in addition to charcoal, i like have wood in there for flavor and hey it's free. and easily accessible .works well, as long as it's dry!

Fri. 4/4/08 8:12am From: listener jeremy

fried calamari i would definately have in the top five. might be second only to a fried onion (some places have it as the bloomin onion) there are other names for it, and all of them are seriously unhealthy, but oh so good.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:13am From: Ryan

It would definitely accompany some fine barbecued chicken and perhaps a brownish ale. What sort of glaze are you using with your chicken, because this meal calls for some mushrooms, at least in my mind.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:16am From: listener jeremy

this is going to be more of a light meal - the chicken is marinating in a lemon and herbs marinade. will go great with a salad (of which some fresh mushrooms may very well find a home, per your fine recommendation.) beer? anything dark, anytime. that's my general rule of thumb.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:18am From: listener jeremy

i'm cooking chicken breasts btw, not wings or thighs. the wings were last week

Fri. 4/4/08 8:20am From: listener jeremy

anyone else going to bbq tonight now? :-p

Fri. 4/4/08 8:21am From: Ryan

Ahh, I spose that is less of what I was thinking. Still sounds very tasty. You may want to fry your mushrooms a bit less than mine as well.

And as far as dark beers go, may I recommend Great Lake Black Out Ale. Its as dark as they come and one bottle with have your wont for alcohol sated.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:22am From: Ryan

I would, but working 10-7 usually means I pack two lunches. =\

Fri. 4/4/08 8:23am From: catpatz

am going to try and grill up some burgers while making sangria----hopefully the sun will stay out a few more hours

Fri. 4/4/08 8:27am From: HotRod

Any vegetarians out there?

Fri. 4/4/08 8:30am From: Ryan

I try to eat organically wherever I can, but my love for fried cephalopods is to great to be stifled by leafy things.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:31am From: listener jeremy

cephalopods... had to look that one up. learn something new every day

Fri. 4/4/08 8:37am From: Ryan

I will say that vegetarians got lasagna right though. I prefer vegetarian lasagna to just about every other pasta existing today.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:41am From: listener jeremy

the is qualifies as the longest song i've heard the entire month

Fri. 4/4/08 8:43am From: marionfrenchie

I just ate lunch, and you are exiting my papillae with all the kitchen talk... I'm gonna have to snack again! what a bad influence!

Fri. 4/4/08 8:44am From: Ryan

We Try. ;)

Fri. 4/4/08 8:48am From: HotRod

Damn right we got lasagna right! The only animals I eat are from the sea, but as far as cephalopods go...I would NEVER eat a cuttlefish. Such amazing beings!!! I'm trying to find a video link to an amazing documentary (Kings of Camouflage) about this three-hearted creature. See you all next week!!!

Fri. 4/4/08 8:50am From: listener jeremy

you still got 10 minutes!!! where you going? we're not listening to JM, are we??

Fri. 4/4/08 8:51am From: Ryan

"The heavens split,
Three Kings proclaim
Farewell, HotRod
We'll meet again!"

Later.

Fri. 4/4/08 8:51am From: marionfrenchie

thanks for rocking my lunch! and my snack ;)
glad radio action made you feel better!
