Listener comments!

  9:17am
About to Change:

Enough! More music!!
  9:18am
Bad Ronald:

Good Morning Benjamen
  9:19am
bw:

good morning!
  9:24am
chris:

I think "About to Change" is looking for a different sort of station. I found your evocation of your morning ride down the bowery quite poignant.
  9:29am
Bad Ronald:

There are a couple of broken images on the list can you please fix?

Thanks!
  9:30am
hh:

Is anyone else unable to access the Windows Media stream this morning? I just emailed the Stream Team about it. Unfortunately, I only have access to that one stream at work, so it means I'm missing what looks like a great show!
  9:30am
paula:

i just posted on last week's playlist, damn. good morning bwalker! nice morning music.
  9:33am
Bad Ronald:

Tx!!
  9:35am
jonathan:

finally got the stream working. good stuff!
  9:36am
Liz B.:

Ok, did some duct-tape triage on the Windows stream and now it's back. Thanks for the heads-up, hh!
  9:38am
hh:

Yes!! Thanks so much Liz B.!
  9:44am
GUMBY:

Love the bronze glow of the mud/construction site. Body paint however, is just one thing I never will get.
  9:47am
chris:

Easy to say for someone who is naturally crayon green.
  9:48am
GUMBY:

What can I say, I eats me spinach!
  9:50am
Bad Ronald:

Boobs and Gentrification make for quite a combo!!
  9:51am
dj:

what is this talk over music, Benjamen ?

pretty awesome... great show.
  9:52am
dj:

aaah Wishmountain .. i'll look it up!
  9:56am
GUMBY:

Asbury Park here at the New Jersey shore is a fascinating study in the condos as the only form of revitalization argument promulgated by the powers that be. I guess Coney Island is a similar situation.
  10:02am
fishmonkeystew:

Well now, what a fine way to start a Monday. Thanks Ben.
  10:05am
molerat:

`That Williamsburg poster just says it all, really. ugh.
  10:06am
nh_dave:

Yea for monday morning nudity!
  10:06am
paula:

Benjamen went to Coney Island looking for boobs, that is clear
  10:09am
Parq:

And he found 'em. Benjamin, why not have Mermaid Parades during the week? With the construction workers ogling the boobs, you could drive the building materials away in Mack trucks without anyone noticing.
  10:11am
GUMBY:

Ah the juxtaposition of time. The condos go up, the boobs droop down.
  10:12am
~L:

Those photos are amazing, especially the Winehouser! Do you have more?
  10:15am
bw:

all the photos are filched from flickr
I promise to put credits and links to where credits and links are due in a bit later this afternoon
  10:17am
ko:

i'm making boob-shaped signs for the meeting now!
  10:17am
paula:

boobs are good, being a mammal is a noteworthy distinction. All those women were inviting you to look, with all those feathers and shit. and what is wrong with being a pervert, anyway?
  10:24am
bw:

what about beach books? time to change it up now.. what is everyone reading this summer?
  10:26am
GUMBY:

I'm finally gonna read "100 Years of Solitude"
  10:29am
GUMBY:

Anybody know of anyone who writes good poetry about beaches or surfing. The last couple of years I have reread Walt Whitman on the beach and that was good, but I need something else. Any suggestions?
  10:30am
Paula:

Chatwin's In Patagonia
  10:31am
ko:

i saw someone reading "the plague" by camus on the beach last week
  10:33am
paula:

Benjamen what are you reading?
  10:34am
Parq:

I just finished "The Truth", Terry Pratchet's Discworld take on newspapers (all FMUers are encouraged to read "Soul Music", his Discworld take on rock n roll). I'm in the middle of the newest by David Sedaris, and my vacation read-on-the-plane book is going to be Huck Finn.
  10:36am
ange:

reading The Elementary Particles by Michel Houellebecq

totally sick of seeing every subway rider with the new Sedaris, holding up the cover like an insider's handshake
  10:36am
dc pat:

Think I'm going with Melville this year--ships, crazy people, waves..
  10:36am
bw:

i just started Ed PArk's new book personal days

its great
  10:38am
GUMBY:

Huck Finn, The Old Man and The Sea and the poem Corson's Inlet are three of my absolute favorite water related peices of literature. Heart of Darkness ain't too shabby either.
  10:38am
dc pat:

re-reading Joy of Man's Desiring right now--beautiful book.
  10:39am
GUMBY:

Qwee-Queg (sp?) rules!
  10:44am
Drew:

I'm going to get fired if you keep posting juggs.
  10:45am
dc pat:

You can pull the comments frame over to cover up the boobs.
  10:48am
GUMBY:

The Joy of Man's Desiring looks good dc I'm going to check that out. When I went to check that out they suggested The Man Who Planted Trees which is a great short read. Also The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau has some great little secret awakening moments in it.
  10:48am
SueB:

i just saw mother night on TV so i am re-reading
  10:49am
Cecile:

thanks, dcp

I am lo-brow, so am digging Harlan Coben these days - his sports agent PI series. Has the best one-liners.
  10:55am
esch oder anarchie!:

If you haven't tried WG Sebald, that's a meditative mindblower -- try Vertigo or Rings of Saturn.
  10:58am
fishmonkeystew:

I just finished The Terror by David Brin. Excellent read. I'm reading Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum (written in 1900). The freakin' guy ran away from home and joined the crew of a ship at age 12!! WTF?
  10:59am
GUMBY:

Anybody ever read some book called On the Road by some guy, Kerowho or something? I hear it's pretty good.
  11:00am
Cecile:

My husband loves David Brin books.

Is that Sailing Around the World book easily available? That sounds very cool.
  11:02am
Cecile:

Gumby, I think it was Jack Kero-rock.
He was on the Flintstones or something.
  11:03am
fishmonkeystew:

I'm pretty sure that Sailing Alone Around the World is easily available (I think it used to be required reading), but I found my copy at this very cool restaurant in CT where they give you 3 free books of your choice every time you eat there.
  11:04am
bw:

yes!
I used to stop there at that book place on many boston - nyc trips
  11:05am
Cecile:

Niiiiiiiiiice.

Wow. I heard cops from Whiskey in the jar and My Sweet Lord in the last 30 seconds on this song.
  11:06am
dc pat:

anybody reading any good books by women?
  11:07am
GUMBY:

Thanks Cecile,
Love that place fms. Feed the mind and you feed the soul, but be very careful with those "alone in the great outdoors" books and films. I saw My Side of the Mountain when I was 10 or so and now I am addicted to outdoor activities. Tough to keep ahead of the ticks.
  11:07am
Cecile:

Someone recommended me a book by the late hard-boiled writer Craig Rice (yes a woman). i have to get to it, but the folks at Uncle Edgar's said it was a gimme.
  11:08am
jonathan:

cruddy by lynda barry.
  11:09am
ZAX:

Gelbart is a genius, thanks!!
  11:11am
GUMBY:

Great set Benjamen!
  11:13am
fishmonkeystew:

That restaurant is called Traveller's Restaurant and is about 5 miles from my home. Great place to go for lunch on rainy Sundays. Their basement bookstore has some real gems.
  11:15am
frenchee:

I just finished LOVING FRANK by Nancy Horan, a fictionalization of the affair (1909-1914) bet. Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It's women's fiction but not vapid at all. Big scandal, early 20th century feminists, the hard choices a woman had to make, it was very very good.
Plus, there's a tragedy.
But I'll say no more cause it's a major spoiler.
  11:15am
Cecile:

that sounds awesome, frenchee.
  11:18am
Ike:

I might read certain books this summer in a futile attempt to *impress* a particular woman -- does that count? Anyway, I'm enjoying "Spin" by Robert Charles Wilson. Later maybe I'll check out Haruki Murakami, Kobo Abe, and Gary Shteyngart. I strongly recommend Audrey Niffenegger.

Great show!
  11:20am
GUMBY:

Seems from what I have read about them, Mark Twain & FLW left us some great art, but were maybe not their own best medicine.
  11:22am
frenchee:

Hey, Cecile, right back at ya about CRAIG RICE, who I had never heard of. I googled her and I'm already hooked. For new noir by women, I heartily rec. Megan Abbott--she's noir and brutal and all woman, bay-bee!
she edited an anthology Hell of a Woman: An Anthology of Female Noir that I would definitely recommend.
Ike, you sound like you're on the right track with your reading list.
THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE is a very good read.
  11:23am
Parq:

Yikes, totally pw3nd, dc pat. Just looked over my bookcase and found practically no titles by women. Gonna have to see to that.

Ike, it counts, as long as you really read them.
  11:23am
GUMBY:

Ike in this day and age the fact that you are actually reading a book to impress someone is probably chivalrous.
  11:25am
bw:

lots of great suggestions here
especially the woman authors.
  11:25am
fishmonkeystew:

I recently read Honor Thy Father by Lesley Glaister. Sort of odd thriller type novel. Light reading, very entertaining.
  11:27am
Flakey Foont:

Right now I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein which is fantastic, but I really recommend The Bird Artist by Howard Norman. An easy and quick read, but completely engrossing and utterly satisfying. Also totally unheard of for some reason.

Last book I really enjoyed by a woman was Miranda July's short story collection, No One Belongs Here More Than You.
  11:28am
GUMBY:

alas, my bookshelf is also woefully malecentric. However, Mary Oliver is definately one of my favorite poets. Anybody have any outdoor type female author suggestions?
  11:29am
esch oder anarchie!:

Summer reading?
Judith Hermann: Summerhouse, Later.
Magical realism in '90s Berlin.
  11:31am
Bad Ronald:

Does Tennessee Williams count?
  11:32am
Bad Ronald:

Mongolian Cluster Fuck
  11:34am
Parq:

Gum, every fan of NYS's Adirondack region knows of "Woodswoman" by Anne Labastille. And unrelated to the outdoors, but the similarity of the name brings her to mind, the work of Anne Lamott is noteworthy, espec. "Traveling Mercies".
  11:35am
dc pat:

I read Bird Artist. It was great. Truly love Flannery O'Connor, also Tennessee Williams, Faulkner...all that Southern stuff.
  11:37am
Ike:

Gumby, besides "The Time Traveler's Wife," which is one of my favorite books *ever*, I also recommend the Beggars trilogy by Nancy Kress.

Chivalrous? Really? Wow. We'll see if I actually DO get around to reading them. But I haven't really even met this person so it's tilting into windmills -- which is something I do a lot. This Kelley Stoltz song says it all.
  11:43am
GUMBY:

Alright now I have TTTW , Woodswoman & Travelling Mercies on my list. Thanks everyone, maybe there is hope for me to unlock my mind yet. Ike windmills are making a big comeback. Parq the Adirondacks are my heaven, thanks.
  11:43am
frenchee:

Ike, I hear Brad Pitt's production company snapped up film rights to TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE....hope *he* won't star, he's all wrong. But for the wife, I pick Lauren Ambrose.
  11:49am
bw:

sorry if the boobs got anyone in toruble in office land
hey - for next week - everyone take a picture of your office space or cube and send it to me
bwalker@gmail.com
  11:52am
Cecile:

ay ay, Benjamin!
  5:54pm
Energumeno Garcia:

Amigo Ben!
These pictures prove that America is yearning to have a place were they can let loose and forget all their inhibitions
  5:55pm
Energumeno Garcia:

you gringos want really bad to have your own Rio Carnival
  5:56pm
Energumeno Garcia:

how much artistic these "Mermaid" boobs were than the drunken ones fetching beads in Mardi Grass
  2:39am
Rocky Lewycky:

I threw away my entire music collection this May. 30 gigs of edited music for the sake of throwing away something I love and something that is healthy. What will replace this? Will it be of equal importance? Give me equal joy? BW- you're like the first piece of bread for me after coming off a fast. Bread that taste better baked than not! Fight for boobs you New Yorkies!! Fight for boobs!
