Playlist for Bryce - August 1, 2008

Fridays Noon - 3pm on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Fri. 8/1/08 12:24pm Scott:

Fri. 8/1/08 12:41pm Ike:

Today, my job (almost) makes me want to die, but this music makes me want to live.

Fri. 8/1/08 12:41pm R. P.:

It's appropriate that some music considered "cutting edge" today sounds like music made hundreds of years ago in Burma.

Fri. 8/1/08 12:58pm Andrew:

The Jew's Harp in my throat is greatly appreciative.

Fri. 8/1/08 1:03pm Hugo:

But there seems to be a little confusion about the area of residence of the Murung. I have to agree with the poster on the WFMU blog that if they reside in the forest hills close to Burma, then that would have to be in the East/South East, most likely in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Sorry folks, it's the old Asia hand peeking through here ...

the music's thrilling, though - Bryce sure knows how to find 'em ...

Fri. 8/1/08 1:13pm bryce:

hugo's on it! these guys are tibeto-burmesey for sure. bengal got all britishly drawed up around them, paving the way for future evil: unending bengladeshi resettlement asshattery. hooray for men.

Fri. 8/1/08 1:28pm alan:

dude- peruvian flutes sound like that too

Fri. 8/1/08 1:34pm alan:

i think they travel across the pacific-- i want to know more about that comunication between asia and south american music-- some words of quechua are the same in chinese-- if you have some more information please let me know

Fri. 8/1/08 1:44pm Ken from Hyde Park:

Drummed message seems pretty soft (not very loud). I can barely hear it. Is it going to suddenly louden up and scare my co-workers?

Fri. 8/1/08 1:47pm bryce:

depends. what continent are you on?

Fri. 8/1/08 1:51pm alan:

i am from Peru- and i am here now

Fri. 8/1/08 1:58pm alan:

Fri. 8/1/08 2:29pm Steve:

Fri. 8/1/08 2:32pm Hugo:

This last set of Central African pygmies music is nothing less than astounding. I've never heard anything like it. Mind-bending!

Fri. 8/1/08 2:34pm Nick:

oh it's mind bending all right

Fri. 8/1/08 2:36pm Steve:

Bryce,
If it weren't for you, your show and WFMU I'd have to waste my time in reality and that would trully suck. Thank you.

Fri. 8/1/08 2:39pm Nick:

WFMU is my reality whats wrong with that. no one judges me here. hoo ooh ooowww yteaaah

Fri. 8/1/08 2:42pm Bad Ronald:

No mind to bend here but I did bend my Wookie!!!

Fri. 8/1/08 2:43pm Nick:

Fri. 8/1/08 2:46pm lily:
