Another one from the complaints dept... my (Mac, 128k) stream seems to be having some problems, is it my connection or is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Mon. 9/8/08 10:38am Sara:

Thanks Jon, mine seems to have calmed down as soon as I posted that comment... Shamed into good behaviour I suppose.

Mon. 9/8/08 10:48am Parq:

Hi, gang. Joining the party at half-time after suffering through a gratifyingly rare office breakfast. Disappointed that there's no comic on the playlist, but psyched that I didn't miss the SJs.

Mon. 9/8/08 10:50am parq:

sorry bout the comics parq

Mon. 9/8/08 10:56am tamara:

Mon. 9/8/08 11:06am Jason:

Really enjoying the show and this Silver Jews set is sounding real classic -- Trains Across the Sea is one of my all time favorite songs

Mon. 9/8/08 11:08am Parq:

Sounds great, but may I be so bold as to suggest a wee bit more gain on the front vocal mike?

Mon. 9/8/08 11:10am bw:

parq

it was recorded yesterday

Mon. 9/8/08 11:11am Glenn L:

You just keep listening to that "front" vocal mike
Parq. It'll get louder.

Mon. 9/8/08 11:12am ange:

"half hours on earth, what are they worth? I don't know."

half hours of live Silver Jews on WFMU - Valuable!

Mon. 9/8/08 11:12am Parq:

Glenn, as long as the music stays like this, I can deal just fine with whatever the mix is.

Mon. 9/8/08 11:13am bw:

one hour!!

Mon. 9/8/08 11:14am bw:

sorry my host mic is low here.. but only for 2 minutes...

Mon. 9/8/08 11:17am Glenn L:

Thanks Parq!
Davids mic really does get louder.
