Wed. 8/13/08 9:04am Bruce:

Morning! Great song!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:05am Vicki - DO or DIY:

I'm on the internets - both live in this box, but also pre-recorded in Sunny London.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:07am Vicki - DO or DIY:

lots of rude words to mangle in this song

Wed. 8/13/08 9:08am Ken:

Hello all! Thanks to Vicki for covering for me this morning! Is this Queen cover really Blanketship? I have joined a kiteboarding cult in Napeague, NY.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:09am Vicki - DO or DIY:

morning Ken - it's The Oath, from the fabulous Dynamite in a Laser Beam Queen covers album...

Wed. 8/13/08 9:09am Ghengis Jung:

Vicki - I'm glad you're here and everything to fill in for Ken, because I love your work and everything and but so I'm wondering if you might have access to Larry, because, well, it's Wednesday, and I miss Larry.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:10am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Larry's in the lake with Ken

Wed. 8/13/08 9:11am Ken:

Larry and I will be doing a water-bound remote broadcast next week.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:12am Ghengis Jung:

Wed. 8/13/08 9:14am Copydex Wales:

**Excited!!***

Wed. 8/13/08 9:15am Negator:

Vicki, good morning. We should get stupid with 'The Bad Restaurant Boogie'. Love that song!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:16am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Oh acgually (I'll keep that typo) Ken, yes - the second track was Blanketship - he did it for the Blanketship session on DO or DIY a few weeks back, isn't it fantastic?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:17am Vicki - DO or DIY:

morning Copydex Wales, are you a subdivision of Copydex UK?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:18am Vicki - DO or DIY:

morning Negator, I'm not allowed to play my own music (because fmu is thankfully non-commercial) - I am only allowed to ruin other peoples music

Wed. 8/13/08 9:19am Copydex Wales:

Copydex UK is bloated and fake. I am the gluey truth!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:20am Mike Harding:

I'm just off to the dentist now...

Wed. 8/13/08 9:20am jan:

Vicki: after more than 30 years of listening to WFMU, I am mostly down to listening only on Wednesdays to the 2 Kens and Irwin. You are the only replacement for ken worth a damn! I wish I could remember to listen to your evening show, but I am mostly on to other media at that time. Please come to DAYTIME WFMU- your programming is brilliant!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:21am Mike Harding:

I agree with jan!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:21am Vicki - DO or DIY:

morning Jan - you could always subscribe to the DO or DIY podcast?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:21am Copydex Wales:

Hear here. Do Or Di-Daytime for real!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:22am Vicki - DO or DIY:

maybe I'll get to do some more daytime fill ins. Hey, talking and typing at the same time! And eating a quiche!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:23am jan:

could do as you suggest- I have an iPod, but never tried it for t podcast
I love radio- you turn it on and listen! And we americans love your accent.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:24am Vicki - DO or DIY:

you can subscribe with literally one click on the wfmu podcast page - so long as you have itunes... it's very clever

Wed. 8/13/08 9:25am jan:

quiche! you just lost me- what kind of bourgeous meal is that!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:25am Keith:

Vicki- I usually don't listen to WFMU live at this hour, but because you are gifting the airwaves, I am hear.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:27am Vicki - DO or DIY:

well thank you.

My quiche cost a pound from the supermarket and tastes of nothing

Wed. 8/13/08 9:28am Dickdong (UK):

How very nice to hear an English accent on WFMU. on a reasonably pleasant afternoon here in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:30am Vicki - DO or DIY:

slightly overcast in London. Anyone else having weather?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:30am Copydex Wales:

It's PS3-ing it down with non-stop RAIN in Wales. National dish...

Wed. 8/13/08 9:33am dei xhrist:

Yeay, mashup morning! This is the first sunny day since Sunday morning. I've had a dehumidifier running in my basement all summer. NH USA

Wed. 8/13/08 9:35am axlotl:

Sunny morning in Brooklyn. Perfect for a bike ride over the Manhattan Bridge. Unfortunately I cannot pick the station up over the air but i's been a great show so far.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:35am Lizardner Dave:

It's great to hear Vicki as part of the "Power Wednesday" lineup. Looking forward to the first (?) Trans-Atlantiic Transitional Moment. and 12n ET - 5p London time.

Weather here. It's raining in NC USA! We're having a gay 'ole time!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:38am dei x:

"I have nothing to say, but I have a fine voice to say it in" - Nihilist Spasm Band, Festival Musique Actuelle, Victoriaville, Canada, whatever year it was I got arrested at the border.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:40am Vicki - DO or DIY:

The Nihilist Spasm Band are amazing - they've been doing this since the 1960s

Wed. 8/13/08 9:40am JJZ:

I always like Oleg Kostrow's work.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:41am Vicki - DO or DIY:

I don't know how his music can sound Russian but it does. Yes, I know he's Russian. But how does a sample arist sound Russian?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:42am wagdog:

Ok, I'm supposed to be working. You're making it too darn hard to concentrate!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:44am Vicki - DO or DIY:

yes, I'm having the same problem

Wed. 8/13/08 9:44am Listener Dave from NH:

He could sound Russian by sampling Yakov Smirnoff maybe?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:45am Vicki - DO or DIY:

yes, or by drinking it

Wed. 8/13/08 9:47am Ken:

Logging off now... next week I will be live form my rowboat and the week after that, it's the return of David Suisman! Bye everybody!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:48am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Wed. 8/13/08 9:49am jan:

Oh, I always thought that you were in NYC or at least NJ. This is coming from the UK? WoW

my brain exists in both locations, I am omnipresent. I am always in wfmu world

Wed. 8/13/08 9:50am (NWA) Nigels W/ Attitude:

Mad skillz! I'll never think of gangster rap the same way again!!!

Wed. 8/13/08 9:51am weiterso:

in a rowboat to china?

Wed. 8/13/08 9:52am dei x:

I wish you could play RIAA's "My Mississippi" but the FCC rejects my request.

Wed. 8/13/08 9:54am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Is the FCC the sister pop group to RIAA? Yes, I've not got that one lined up, but will play another time, if somewhat mangled. Great to get to play all this stuff on daytime fmu

Wed. 8/13/08 9:54am stingy d:

YOU ARE ALL WEARING THOSE FURRY BOOTS
EXCEPT FOR THOSE OF YOU WEARING THE RUBBER BOOTS YOUR HEELS DISGUST MY SENSIBILITIES
GOOODBYYYYYYEEEE CRUEL RADIO

Wed. 8/13/08 9:55am Bad Ronald:

Um OK

Wed. 8/13/08 9:57am dei x:

oh if this is a call for completely hatstand comments I am definitely up that tree

Wed. 8/13/08 10:02am GP:

Good morning..for a sec I thought my BBC player was back working again...Nice to hear you VIcki, will have to try to catch some of your stuff on the archives....

Wed. 8/13/08 10:03am R. P.:

Von Sudenfed always sounds like a German cough medicine to me.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:04am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Morning! I'm guessing lots of Europeans are listening too? No I'm not on your BBC player, anyway fmu has far better audio archives!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:05am gumby:

Shouldn't this be credited to the Skapremes?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:06am Vicki - DO or DIY:

actually I've no idea who it is

Wed. 8/13/08 10:08am ritmutituki:

well, this is my first time on these pages, but certainly it's not gonna be last -- zgotta blame kenny goldsmith for getting lost in here; BTW, Vicky is great!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:08am gumby:

Whoever did it it worked. A little piece of Detroit Island style.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:08am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Rank Sinatra who I'm playing now will be doing a special on my show on the 25th

Wed. 8/13/08 10:10am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:11am Dickdong:

What are you doing to my Celestions?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:12am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:13am paul:

MALADROIT!!!!!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:13am jan:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:19am Vicki - DO or DIY:

yes, it's amazing

Wed. 8/13/08 10:21am Suffolk Annie:

Yes, I've had to turn this bit down a bit cos it's waking up all the other old ladies who live near me! GOODEE!!!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:21am rimtutituki:

reminds me of Kids on TV (from Toronto)

Wed. 8/13/08 10:24am Nick:

your playlist hurts my eyes

Wed. 8/13/08 10:24am Steve:

This is retarded. Pure retarded.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:25am Vicki - DO or DIY:

avant-retarded

Wed. 8/13/08 10:25am Steve:

Yeah Nick, my eye bleeds are balling.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:26am Mike Harding:

teeth are ok! but i need a nightguard to protect against grinding

Wed. 8/13/08 10:26am Nick:

the playlist hurts my eyes and the music hurts my ears but i love it all the same

Wed. 8/13/08 10:27am Vicki - DO or DIY:

in theory pink, purple and brown should be nice though

Wed. 8/13/08 10:27am Lizardner Dave:

I think it has to be "avant-developmentally disabled" here in the hyper-sensitive, steroid-worshiping USA.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:29am JJZ:

USA! USA! USA!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:30am Vicki - DO or DIY:

People Like USa

Wed. 8/13/08 10:35am GP:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:35am Vicki - DO or DIY:

I'm an artiste

Wed. 8/13/08 10:36am xangoir:

sorry I'm a fraulein just a little shady just a little shady!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:36am gumby:

I think we've so politically corrected to avant otherly enabled now.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:36am Mickey Mephistopheles:

Vicki! Yay!
Thank you for being my alarm clock today.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:37am Chris Knight:

Hi Vicki, from sunny (and early in the AM) California. Glad to finally catch your show streaming.

Hey, that sounds like Blonk!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:39am GP:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:39am elvie:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:39am Vicki - DO or DIY:

yesh

Wed. 8/13/08 10:40am Parq:

Just as I love the way Billy Jam pronounces marathon as "mahrthon", I similarly enjoy the way Miss V pronounces dot-org as "do'org".

Wed. 8/13/08 10:40am JP:

Good to hear you rockin' the Gummiboll..

Wed. 8/13/08 10:40am Mike Harding:

Hello Sweden!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:44am annie:

Wed. 8/13/08 10:45am Jimi Hendrix:

Have you ever been to Electric Ladyland?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:46am jettepaque:

Are you going for the wfmu playlist length record? I think you might just about manage it

Wed. 8/13/08 10:46am Vicki - DO or DIY:

what is the record?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:46am Dionne Warwick & Burt Bacharach:

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:47am jettepaque:

the record? you're the dj, you ought to know what the records are.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:47am Chris Knight:

Yes. (Take Moffett Field Blvd west, 101 s 30mi to San Jose.)

Wed. 8/13/08 10:47am Olivia Newton john:

Have you ever been mellow?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:47am dei x:

Vicki is just cruising on her recent feature interview in Wire magazine (plug plug). Note: she does not have a face like an iPod or a computer speaker.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:48am jettepaque:

oh i see! quite long, but this is shaping up to be a weighty tome

Wed. 8/13/08 10:48am Rod Stewart:

Do you think I'm sexy?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:51am Lizardner Dave:

Is that Zatumba?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:51am Vicki - DO or DIY:

why of course, with the muppets

Wed. 8/13/08 10:51am R. P.:

Cookie! I want cookie!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:52am Lizardner Dave:

I noticed the math questions are much harder this morning. Must be the better education system they have in Britain.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:52am GP:

Long Playlists = More of Vicki telling us what she played = GOOD!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:52am Vicki - DO or DIY:

enthralling I know

Wed. 8/13/08 10:52am GP:

Lizrdner, I think they are in metric or something

Wed. 8/13/08 10:53am Mike Harding:

Let's here it for my teeth!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:53am Chris Knight:

Hey Vicki, tell us about how you first came across the Muppet Show?

Wed. 8/13/08 10:53am Ghengis Jung:

OMG! KEN'S IN THE LAKE?!

Wed. 8/13/08 10:54am Vicki - DO or DIY:

on the telly in about 1975 I think.

Wed. 8/13/08 10:55am annie:

cape cod... recently..

Wed. 8/13/08 10:56am Chris Knight:

Vicki, that explains EVERYTHING. Muwhhahahahah. Growing up with the Muppets...

Wed. 8/13/08 10:57am Vicki - DO or DIY:

it pretty much explains something yes

Wed. 8/13/08 10:58am north guinea hills:

even though i'm temporarily blinded, i love the color scheme on the comments page.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:00am Vicki - DO or DIY:

i could change the colour scheme only i may lock myself out or soemthing bad

Wed. 8/13/08 11:02am north guinea hills:

the color reminds me of a my bloody valentine valentine sent to me on valentine's day.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:04am Chris Knight:

It's beautiful, don't change a thing. Unless you can make it flash.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:04am Vicki - DO or DIY:

I can make it flash in the song after this one...

Wed. 8/13/08 11:05am Vicki - DO or DIY:

so what's the playlist comments record? We're on 141 at the moment

Wed. 8/13/08 11:06am gumby:

Rank Sinatra certainly is.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:07am Lizardner Dave:

You might have a shot. I think the SSD where Andy had to pay Andrea a nickel for every comment got close to 200.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:07am Steve:

it's been flashing here for like at least an hour now. That's not you doing that Vicki?

Wed. 8/13/08 11:07am Vicki - DO or DIY:

There you go Chris... Flash, ARGGHHHHH!

Wed. 8/13/08 11:08am Ghengis Jung:

Wed. 8/13/08 11:11am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Wed. 8/13/08 11:11am Chris Knight:

Annie, listen at work, I am! (Ok, maybe not working all that hard...It's friggin' 8:10am here.)

Mike Harding, flash us some of those teeth.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:11am north guinea hills:

i like the harper's bizarre version of simon smith and his dancing bear.

#152

Wed. 8/13/08 11:12am Vicki - DO or DIY:

come on then, let's go - we've 49 to go - one a minute will do it!

Wed. 8/13/08 11:12am GP:

Vicki,
Just saw your PLUs site, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.
I really should be working but now I have a permanent afterimage of a purple,pink, and burgundy screen burned into me retinas...nothing will ever look the same again...

Wed. 8/13/08 11:12am Parq:

Oh man, I LOVE the Muppets' version of "Simon Smith". Together!

Wed. 8/13/08 11:13am annie:

'twould be so easy......if the speakers went downstairs and to my truck.. thence to the highway.. i'll be late.. so be it.. when will they make it easy to get any station on your car radio. funny, i'm only about two hours northwest of jersey

Wed. 8/13/08 11:15am Mike Harding:

|_| |_| |_|

Wed. 8/13/08 11:15am Mike Harding:

those are 3 of my flashing teeth

Wed. 8/13/08 11:16am dei x:

This whole show has been sing-a-long... that's what puts the "retard" next to the "avant". Evolutionary and progressive music, still finding the ole' standards appealing. I bet Cage wasn't above humming Girl From Ipanema.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:17am Mike Harding:

I know these guys. They are funny

Wed. 8/13/08 11:18am Copydex Wales:

Give it up for Bill Bargefott & Tony Gage!

Wed. 8/13/08 11:18am Chris Knight:

"It's just amazing how out there people can be." You said it, Scooter.

Vicki, I assume this show will become part of the Do or DIY podcast feed, no? Or Ken's podcast? Or both?

Mike, nice teeth, although a bit red...Flashy!

Wed. 8/13/08 11:18am Vicki - DO or DIY:

John Cage was full of humour

(We're on 163 comments)

Wed. 8/13/08 11:19am dei x:

well now I'm running out of smarm

Wed. 8/13/08 11:19am annie:

i'm losing my mind; i really thought you had a show in provincetown.. wow. and it's been fmu all along..?? i listen to many stations..

Wed. 8/13/08 11:19am Chris Knight:

Shh shh, quiet everybody...don't want to distract the DJ while she's talking...

Wed. 8/13/08 11:21am GP:

Wed. 8/13/08 11:23am Chris Knight:

Wed. 8/13/08 11:25am Vicki - DO or DIY:

Wed. 8/13/08 11:32am Mike Harding:

Yeth

Why does my brain waste so many cells storing memories of this stuff with such annoying fidelity?

Wed. 8/13/08 11:38am Chris Knight:

Jettepaque, they have pills for that (sadly, they do!)

Wed. 8/13/08 11:39am Ike:

Didn't they use this ELO song in a really terrible episode of Doctor Who in 2006? Filmed in Wales, naturally.

So, was Maladroit the Beastie Boys/Huey Lewis/sped-up Britney mash-up?

Wed. 8/13/08 11:39am Vicki - DO or DIY:

I was in Ireland in 1973 when ELO released "Roll Over". By the time I got back stateside, it was on the radio. All of 17, I felt so ahead of the curve.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:42am Mr. I knows Boogie:

That's how Babelfish translated Ja Herr Ich Kann Boogie.

Wed. 8/13/08 11:42am jettepaque:
