Disco breakfast.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:08am Monster:

Mornin Hatchy

Tue. 6/24/08 9:20am jonathan:

lil wayne is a maniac.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:21am Bad Ronald:

Mornin!

Tue. 6/24/08 9:23am lil wayne:

That was no dream, pal.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:41am north guinea hills:

man, 25 cents for chewable morphine!!!, man, those were the days!

Tue. 6/24/08 9:44am Hatch:

I don't think Ron Franklin was alive in those days. The CD is brand new, and he doesn't look a day above 19 years old.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:49am chris:

Almost nobody was alive in those days. The Harrison act was passed in 1914.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:51am jonathan:

i want my beer and morphine!

Tue. 6/24/08 9:53am dc pat:

I want chewable beer.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:55am dc pat:

Please don't call those m*therf*ckers DC Republicans. There is really no such thing. About 95% of DC residents are Democrats.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:57am Hatch:

Apologies Pat. That 5% is a really loathsome bunch, though.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:59am dc pat:

Well, what I mean is they aren't "DCers". Republicans move to town and never really live here, never register to vote here, just abuse the crap out of the place and then leave when they're done. BUT, you're right on about Rove's idiotic musings.

Tue. 6/24/08 9:59am Cecile:

Goodbye all for now.
They blocked WMPlayer at my work, and I have to figure out how to work around it.

Sigh.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:02am dc pat:

sorry Cecile. Good luck and see you around.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:04am Barney:

Souled American did some version of the 25c morphine/15c beer song (which I assumed must be an actual old-timey one) under the title "Soldier's Joy".

Tue. 6/24/08 10:05am Chris:

Cecile. That was often done (back when i was a cube monkey) by filename extension. See if some other software will play one of the other streams.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:08am R. P.:

Cecile, it may also be based on bandwidth. When our network got downgraded they blocked my 128K stream, but I can still listen with the 20K Realaudio stream. It sucks, but it's better than nothing.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:12am chris:

Was it this song? http://lcweb2.loc.gov/afc/afccc/soldiersjoy/

Tue. 6/24/08 10:13am Cecile:

we are working frantically on this...

Tue. 6/24/08 10:15am Hatch:

Old timey music by Al Gore's dad? I won't be able to resist playing that one.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:17am Chris:

I know! It even has its own dance!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:20am Kent:

This spacey noise piece is amazing! You've made my day.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:20am Dan:

Hey I like this one a lot, but can you play something kinda dumb.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:21am Hatch:

That album sounds pretty sweet all the way through.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:26am Barney:

Looks like you can sing just about any lyrics you like to "Soldier's Joy":
http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=1425

The second entry has the whisky/beer/morphine line. Should lead to some interesting dancing.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:26am James:

al gore senior

Tue. 6/24/08 10:27am dlroth:

play some van halen

Tue. 6/24/08 10:27am jim:

dumb!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:27am patrick:

something dumb please

Tue. 6/24/08 10:27am jcityFiteStyle:

play some david lee roth over al gore

Tue. 6/24/08 10:28am Kent:

As long as he doesn't talk, let's hear it!!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:28am dc pat:

That's a hard one. I'll go with "dumb"

Tue. 6/24/08 10:28am Chris:

I gotta vote for al gore's dad. That might be dumb after all and then you get two birds/one stone.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:28am big wayne:

play some lil wayne

Tue. 6/24/08 10:28am bluestate225:

dumb please

Tue. 6/24/08 10:29am William:

Al Gore Sr.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:29am Listener Dave from NH:

Something dumb so I can feel smart, if only for a little while.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:29am dumb:

yeah for me

Tue. 6/24/08 10:29am GUMBY:

Al Senior!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:30am Ike:

I vote for fiddle music. There are all kinds of dumb music. What kind of dumb music? And why is somebody always trolling here in favor of dumb music? Van Halen sucks.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:30am R. P.:

Fiddling Gore

Tue. 6/24/08 10:31am GUMBY:

Wait, Al Senior with Clinton sax mash-up

Tue. 6/24/08 10:31am william X:

What was the funk drone thingy? Ashram sumthin????
need to know --
DUMB !!! and heavy!!!!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:33am jcityFiteStyle:

you'd like Blue Marble on Atlantic and Bond! the ice cream sodas are awesome!


or in Jcity you've got Torico on 1st and Erie - homemade ice cream!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:35am Bad Ronald:

Didn't Nick Lowe pen the Bay City Rollers Tune?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:35am R. P.:

Got a ticket to the Bay City Rollers...

Tue. 6/24/08 10:35am Ike:

R.P., the 32k AAC+ stream sounds waaaaaay better than the Real stream. Cecile, I bet there's some way to listen through a proxy. Hmmmmm. Any ideas? If nothing else, I bet you can at least listen to the pop-up player archives, or are all your browser noises muted too?

Hatch, you could toss off a brief negative review of the ice cream joint on Chowhound or Citysearch or something. When somebody rips me off, I spread the word so that other people are aware of it.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:37am Hatch:

I have been meaning to go to Blue Marble. It's gotta be better than Sweet Melissa Cremerie, that's for sure. Me, I love the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, and also the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory but mostly just for the view.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:39am chris:

Wow. DLR singing about iggy pop. (at least i always figured that's who this song was about)

Tue. 6/24/08 10:39am jonathan:

thanks for the VH.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:39am d:

blue marble is crazy overpriced + tiny portions sadly. not bad ice cream though

Tue. 6/24/08 10:40am Ken t:

David Lee Roth already sounds like a burnout!!! What year is this recording from?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:40am R. P.:

Talk about eateries, they're planning to open a place in DC that features ramen noodle soup for $10 a bowl! The food police have figured out a way to make ramen upscale. I'm going back to brown-bagging it.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:40am Dan:

Van Halen is pretty good, Ike.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:41am Ike:

No it isn't. In fact, this is so incredibly dumb that it's threatening to melt the remnants of my brain. I'm going to see what WOXY.com is playing. Sorry.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:42am Hatch:

It's from 1977 I believe.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:42am Dan:

Oh come on, they don't play anything nearly as cool. This is why I love FMU!!!!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:43am Hatch:

To be fair, the ramen at Momofuku in NYC is about $15 and it's definitely well worth it. Big portions, tons of pork, and utterly delicious.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:44am dc pat:

Yeah, I don't see $10 as that much if it's really good. Although I had a bowl of noodles for about $7 the other day and it SUCKED toes.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:44am Listener Dave from NH:

David Lee Roth is the one that looks like the Cryptkeeper, right?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:46am food police:

you need to go to the dollar dumpling place on elridge - incredible pork sandwiches too

Tue. 6/24/08 10:47am R. P.:

OK, maybe I'll give the gourmet raman a chance.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:48am Hatch:

If Ike thought Van Halen was dumb, he's gonna love this next one...

Tue. 6/24/08 10:48am GUMBY:

Ramen is God's way of saying -
"You're poor"

Tue. 6/24/08 10:48am herr noiser:

speaking of big, dumb, and unashamed rock: anyone know where I can locate a copy of that recent reissue by French band Soggy? seems to be sold out everywhere! mon dieu!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:49am Bad Ronald:

not at $15 a pop...

Tue. 6/24/08 10:49am GUMBY:

If you look up secular rockuledge in the dictionary there's a picture of this song.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:50am Bad Ronald:

Nice Hatch, diggin this Dumb Ass set!!!!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:51am dc pat:

Can I change my vote to Al Gore's dad?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:52am Matt:

As long as we're getting dumb how about some Dictators?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:52am Ike:

Yeah, I tried coming back because "Downer-Rock Genocide" is such a great title, but then I got hit by the Judas. Yikes. That's what I get for complaining, right? Heh. Anyway, WOXY was just playing Johnny Cash.

Food Police, I love that dumpling joint, although the one further down at 46 Eldridge is even better.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:52am PKNY:

Judas f-in Priest, baby! This is bringing back fond memories of juvenile delinquency and $8 cases of beer.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:53am Dan:

Dumb or not, Priest had some good hooks.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:53am Hatch:

Dictators? That's too dumb, even for me.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:54am dc pat:

we use to buy Rock 'n' Roll beer for $5/case. I still can't believe that..

Tue. 6/24/08 10:54am ?:

now we're talking.........Priest!!!!!!! yowzaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:54am Bad Ronald:

Wottabout some Pink Fairies?

Tue. 6/24/08 10:55am herr noiser:

I have 7 different version of the new Lil Wayne I'd trade for this Soggy album...

Tue. 6/24/08 10:56am Hatch:

Unfortunately Ronald, this set does have to end at some point.

Tue. 6/24/08 10:58am Bad Ronald:

Noooooooooo!!

Thanks for the dose of dumb anyway!

Tue. 6/24/08 10:58am dlroth:

thanks for the rotate - need to hear that al gore with my ramens

Tue. 6/24/08 10:58am Dan:

The Soggy album covers look like buff Carrot Top meets Weird Al.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:05am Barney:

Dub hero with a twiddly-knob box controller?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:10am Hatch:

That's an even better idea, sir.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:13am wii:

Tue. 6/24/08 11:16am north guinea hills:

i'm still waiting for triangle hero, or to steal from the onion, sousaphone hero

Tue. 6/24/08 11:17am Barney:

How about Plug-in-the-DAT Hero?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:20am Bad Ronald:

Kazoo Hero?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:27am maggie:

whammy bar!

Tue. 6/24/08 11:28am Matt:

Noise artist hero?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:29am Bad Ronald:

John Cage Hero!!!

Tue. 6/24/08 11:32am north guinea hills:

meta-guitar hero, you get to control an interface that controls an interface of someone playing guitar hero.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:36am Dan:

Dildo Hero. You control a dildo.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:36am north guinea hills:

and let's not forget groupie hero.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:37am Bad Ronald:

teledildonics

Tue. 6/24/08 11:37am Listener Mike in California:

(correction to on-air announcement): K Records is not located in Portland, OR, it's located in Olympia, WA.

Lovin' the music this morning!

Tue. 6/24/08 11:39am Hatch:

Of course Mike... I am an idiot.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:40am Hatch:

You know what game would be really, really easy?

Freeform Radio Hero.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:41am Listener Dave from NH:

For those of you going blue with the Guitar Hero knock-offs, arcade game makers are way ahead of you - if you're at home or somewhere where people won't raise eyebrows at you ogling pictures of a video game where you poke people in the butt with your finger, Google for "Boong-Ga Boong-Ga."

Tue. 6/24/08 11:49am jonathan:

what did you want to know about providence? i didn't catch that.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:50am kwhitehead:

Take te Fung Wha bus.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:50am jonathan:

oh, cheap gas? not in providence.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:50am Dan:

Where is it?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:52am ?:

gasbuddy.com

Tue. 6/24/08 11:53am kwhitehead:

That's the Chinatown bus, btw.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:53am jeanine:

Gas is by far the cheapest in Jersey. Everywhere else on the way to new england, and in new england, is much more expensive.. you have to get kind of far into Jersey to get significantly cheaper prices but even then, you're still talking $3.50ish.

Tue. 6/24/08 11:54am Mik:

somewhere around New Haven maybe?

Tue. 6/24/08 11:59am dave:

in england its about £^ a gallon and shell last year recorded the biggest profit of any company in the uk in history

ahem!

Tue. 6/24/08 11:59am dave:

6 that is

Tue. 6/24/08 12:00pm dlroth:

thanks for another great morning hatch!

Tue. 6/24/08 12:01pm maggi:

unfortunately, new jersey isn't on the way between brooklyn and boston :) Maybe you could just bring a jug back with you?
