Listener comments!

Fri. 5/23/08 9:08am From: Parq

Does anyone else find that the closing notes of Hatikva never sound quite right without the opening notes of Jujus following them?

Fri. 5/23/08 9:14am From: spaniel

hello Doug and world. what a glorious AM. enjoying this opening set.

i agree parq, high horn to low bass sounds nice.

Fri. 5/23/08 9:26am From: Listener Dave from NH

A little dub to get my Friday started? Don't mind if I do.

Fri. 5/23/08 9:27am From: dc pat

just what I wanted to hear today--caveman reggae

Fri. 5/23/08 9:32am From: Bad Ronald

Give the summer some!

Fri. 5/23/08 9:46am From: Swami

Get the blood pumpin'! Thats it. I'm leavin work early!

Fri. 5/23/08 9:52am From: Parq

Then, Swami, head for the Knitting Fact and dig on Billy, Ken, Clay and the gang. Wish I could, but I'm stuck on a full day today.

Fri. 5/23/08 9:54am From: GUMBY

Samba Pa' TI - The ability to convey season and nature, breeze and waves through simply vibrating the air. Absolutely awe inspiring.

Fri. 5/23/08 10:03am From: Paul Sherratt

Caught part of a French tv documentary on the Coney Island finale, the other day. ( Bitter ) sweet.

PS. Here's to the Mammoth Merenghi !

Fri. 5/23/08 10:04am From: Zach in Philly

"Over the Waves" and "William Tell Overture, Finale" have struck the summer chord in me. Normally, this is a season I dread, but these sounds remind me of what I do in fact dig about the all too warm months.
Parq, right on about the closing and opening tracks! It's a segue supreme.

Fri. 5/23/08 10:08am From: Doug

I want this Lemarque thing to be playing anytime I'm walking somewhere. Can that be arranged?

Fri. 5/23/08 10:09am From: marionfrenchie

boy! I want to go downtown right away and hop on one of the wood horses!

Fri. 5/23/08 10:09am From: Paul Sherratt

Tati lives !

Fri. 5/23/08 10:11am From: dead corporate eyes

Nice color scheme today. Looks a bit autumnal but well-executed.

Fri. 5/23/08 10:19am From: -Sen

I'm just enjoying the music, thank you!

Fri. 5/23/08 10:28am From: Zach in Philly

Wow & Woah Nelly! Bobby Lumpkin & the Kapers have nailed it! Are they from Bakersfield by any chance?

Fri. 5/23/08 10:33am From: frenchee

wow, very metaphysical this morning, Doug!

But it doesn't necessarily mean you consider your conscience a separate entity--after all, your heart is part of you and plenty of people say, "My heart is bothering me."...

Fri. 5/23/08 10:36am From: Hugo

Oops, didn't catch the Lemarque. From which part of the movie is it? Well, I'll find out in due course.

Playtime is wonderful (as are the four other Tatis)

Fri. 5/23/08 10:39am From: Doug

Frenchee,
You make a fine point. I will let my brain know (later, when it wakes up from its nap).

Fri. 5/23/08 10:42am From: GUMBY

Doug enlightening as always. Never thought about actual people playing at the carousel. It must have been sweltering in wool uniforms, like a battlefield more than a carnival.

Fri. 5/23/08 10:43am From: Paul Sherratt

Hugo,

Never mind all that stuff in the big galleries and museums.
I've seen Mon. Hulot's tennis racket on display in Bexhill on Sea !

Give The Summer Some ! ( Ronald, B. )

And this fab David Murray has fetched the dog, Jim, in from the garden.

Fri. 5/23/08 10:46am From: Doug Ypsilantis

Sen is that you old friend?

Fri. 5/23/08 10:46am From: Bog

Hi Doug,
seem to me there is a "t" in "chant pour une nouvelle afrique du sud" "song for a new south africa"
great tune
greetings from Toulouse ...

Fri. 5/23/08 10:51am From: Doug

Bog,
I'm sure you are right. I just continued the typo I found here: http://tinyurl.com/46fmub

Fri. 5/23/08 11:03am From: north guinea hills

wow, i don't think i've heard doug play tony oxley before. i must now have been paying attentions

Fri. 5/23/08 11:06am From: Hugo

AH, Karin Krog! Very much appreciated (but you knew that)

Fri. 5/23/08 11:08am From: Sean Daily

Ah, I know the weekend's coming when I hear you, Doug. Very nice.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:11am From: kent goldings

Hey, is anyone else having trouble with the Windows 20 k stream? Mine has been shutting down repeatedly this morning.

Thanks for all the awesome tunes this morning, Doug. Nothing says summer like free jazz!

Fri. 5/23/08 11:12am From: north guinea hills

my realplayer stream wasn't working, so i had to use windows media

Fri. 5/23/08 11:14am From: Parq

Yes, Kent, I'm having the same problem. It's aggravating because I don't even like WMP all that much, but I'm not allowed to install any new audio software on my work puter.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:15am From: Swami

My connect had been cutting out for milliseconds, but is fine now . . . similar issuewith Windows/Real Player

Fri. 5/23/08 11:15am From: marionfrenchie

VLC is one the the best ways to go, rarely bugs with steaming, and FREE

Fri. 5/23/08 11:16am From: stev

The realplayer stream has been working OK for me this morning.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:17am From: marionfrenchie

ahah, just read over my comment, and realized I spelled streaming into STEAMing. Ain't that soooooooo funny?
Aaha

Fri. 5/23/08 11:19am From: kent goldings

Thanks guys. Yeah, I have the same issue as some others around here - I'm at work and can only listen to the Windows stream... or should I say steam, marionfrenchie?

Fri. 5/23/08 11:19am From: Paul Sherratt

marionfrenchie,

No, this morning , it should definitely be ... steaming

Fri. 5/23/08 11:22am From: marionfrenchie

psheeeeeeeeee tfuuupsheeeeee clac psheeeeeeeeee
steaming it shall be!

Fri. 5/23/08 11:24am From: fishmonkeystew

A steaming pile of VLC for the win! I too am a fan of VLC for both audio AND video.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:32am From: Parq

I've been thinking about Audiology for home. Any opinions?

Fri. 5/23/08 11:34am From: Swami

Audiologists who pay home visits? I have a couple of referals for the Long Island area.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:45am From: north guinea hills

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh floating down the river on a tortoise listening to fahey, it doesn't get any better...!

Fri. 5/23/08 11:49am From: Hugo

Ah, Jesse Winchester! Beautiful vibe to those early ones, particularly the first.

Fri. 5/23/08 11:53am From: Madison Listener

Hey, the most recent song is at the end of the list, but the page refreshes to the top! That's not right.

Fri. 5/23/08 12:02pm From: Ike

There MUST be some way to hack into work computers that prevent you from installing software on them, and force them to accept VLC or Winamp, or whatever. I hate being treated like a potential terrorist in my workplace. Fortunately they put Winamp on this computer, but I'm still being treated like a risk factor more than a human being, because I can't install FlashMute or other useful programs that would help me do my job more efficiently.

Fri. 5/23/08 12:03pm From: Paul Sherratt

From: Parq

Does anyone else find that the closing notes of Hatikva never sound quite right without the opening notes of Jujus following them?


Parq, I'm quite sure that I used to !

Doug, that closing Dorothy Carter song definitely fulfils the criteria of " always leave them wanting more "

Fri. 5/23/08 12:04pm From: marionfrenchie

boy, I'm beating my wfmu record: been listening non-stop for 9 hours! Woow! Friday DJs rocked my day, and it's not even finished yet!

Fri. 5/23/08 10:41pm From: mike tp 15x
