Don't we pay for everything from now on with...change?

Mon. 12/8/08 9:34am From: dc pat

that's what I heard some guy was charging for his condo in Dupont Circle.

Mon. 12/8/08 9:35am From: dc pat

oh yeah, economic slump...maybe I should lower my rates...

Mon. 12/8/08 9:35am From: annie

MEKONS!

Mon. 12/8/08 9:43am From: bzul

Ten degrees for my bike ride this morning, but the posters are pushing temps to the feeevah zone.

Mon. 12/8/08 9:45am From: dc pat

I have these booty things that go over my bike shoes but they make my feet look huge--like a duck. So my feet were cold this morning.

Mon. 12/8/08 9:45am From: annie

i feel your pain pat... everytime i pick up a damn paper... bad enough regarding the research i'm involved in. just had a "discussion" with SO about big box stores and how they rob economy from local shops.. but it's okay cause the food is cheap.. crappy defense to be sure..

Mon. 12/8/08 9:46am From: Matthew

I want more of those surreal "theory of everything" podcasts you did years ago ... like the series where you talk with the guy from DC who keeps claiming wild conspiracy related parties he's been to.

Great set so far, btw.

Mon. 12/8/08 9:46am From: JCityJensen

Awesome Buck Ownes - thanks benjamen!

Mon. 12/8/08 9:57am From: sahak

haha

Mon. 12/8/08 10:03am From: Bad Ronald

Chilly morn e'ryone! Love the femme fatale theme of the movie posters. Too bad the artwork for the "teeth" poster doesn't match the motif!

Mon. 12/8/08 10:04am From: dc pat

I just wonder if the economic shite we're having is going to shake up things enough to bring back small, local shops, or kill off everything but online shops, or just solidify the position of the big box stores.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:04am From: GP

Good morning all. Benjamin, Did you get some money for the new Manhattan tower? If you have already covered this earlier...disregard..in late today...had to drive the school bus.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:06am From: sahak

matt.com thata a trippy website check it out peoples!!!!!

Mon. 12/8/08 10:13am From: dc pat

I want to see all these movies.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:14am From: Nick the Bard

::shakes fist in the direction of the mall::

Mon. 12/8/08 10:25am From: Ike

Is anyone else hearing a high-pitched buzz on the FM signal lately? Not on the webcast, just on FM. I mainly hear it when using headphones, but not on other statinos, just FMU, so I don't think it's that particular Walkman.

DC Pat, to answer your question: sales at Walmart are up.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:28am From: annie

oh, pat. i pray for the first and a return to really local economy.. no avocadoes in winter... seasonal fare only... hard choices, but safe and economically austere..

Mon. 12/8/08 10:30am From: t-bone

i don't think hefner played before tuxedomoon - was that mistake?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:31am From: bw

it was just an instrumental loop there t-bone..

set break intbetween those two tracks

Mon. 12/8/08 10:32am From: ?

who did the instrumental?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:34am From: mike

who does the singer from crazy dreams band sound like...it's killing me all i know is it's someone my dad listens to

Mon. 12/8/08 10:36am From: bw

its something called KRACKOO

Mon. 12/8/08 10:37am From: C

mike. it's lexie mountain. you've got a cool dad

Mon. 12/8/08 10:40am From: bw

that crazy dreams song had a gary numan riff in it.. which one?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:44am From: Ike

This show is amazing!

Annie, don't get me started on avocados. Why so expensive? Is there still U.S. avocado farmer protectionism driving up the cost? If so, then why? Shouldn't NAFTA put a stop to that? If not then why do we get stuck with the drawbacks of these trade agreements, but none of the benefits? And sure, as long as we aren't using renewable energy, we should return to a local economy with seasonal fare. But ideally we'd have 100% solar-powered trucks bringing us 35-cent avocados from Mexico in the winter.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:45am From: bw

i figured it out... 30secs left to guess!

Mon. 12/8/08 10:46am From: bw

well.. maybe its just similar.. now I have to play the damn song

Mon. 12/8/08 10:47am From: treadstone

The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:50am From: Mac

Bit of a "Magazine " flavor here, eh?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:50am From: fishmonkeystew

mmmmmm, avocados! And asparagus. Tasty yet expensive veggies.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:54am From: annie

wow, where to start? .........
tha obama thing has been fermenting since the erection, oh i mean the election. some grass-roots thing, they apparently accuse him of being foreign-born.. avocadoes!!! ahhh, wondrous foodstuff. ike, your comments. agri-business will hold the prices up most of the time as long as they can.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:56am From: annie

earlier this spring, we went through a very bad "organic" avocado spurt of fruits that went bad and black within 48 hours of delivery.. threw out four cases of avoes and then stopped buying them. they cost about a dollar and most of them are grown in mexico..

Mon. 12/8/08 10:56am From: Doug from DC

If you live near any of the asian market chains, vegetables are unbelievably cheap there. Including cheap avocados, and bags or basil for only a buck fifty.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:57am From: GP

mmmm. Melamine!

Mon. 12/8/08 10:58am From: Bruce

I lived in a Chicago neighborhood and got my veggies really cheap. No such luck here in D.C. I wouldn't mind, but I have bad luck choosing quality avocadoes.

Mon. 12/8/08 10:58am From: annie

word doug, many people actually drive to albany to shop the asian markets and ethnic stores. the delivery systems are so much more efficient .. have to admit it, food is cheaper in big cities, but at what cost to the environment in the long run..?

Mon. 12/8/08 10:59am From: annie

and i'll take organic malamine anyday... ;)

Mon. 12/8/08 11:06am From: GP

mmmmm.Free range Malamine!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:08am From: cb

The combination of the music and the posters is nearly too hot to handle. You are overloading my circuits bw!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:11am From: annie

did you see the video "free range humans" ?

Mon. 12/8/08 11:13am From: Josh

Yeah! Miami rock!!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:14am From: GP

No Annie..sounds like Soylent Green

Mon. 12/8/08 11:15am From: stingy d

hey all youclassic dudes i'm sitting here on my fwench bones... not on you aemrcanbones.... go to the knitting factory tonight at 8 and donate a coat. and listen to comedy and music.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:19am From: annie

http://www.youtube.com/user/stefbot

he has a series, but "free range humans" is good. although, it's all relative to your comfort zone....

Mon. 12/8/08 11:20am From: stingy d

guy in a cage does ten strips of acid... david cross, marnie stern, despot nick diamonds (from islads) and possibly andrew wk with after party at santos paarty house

Mon. 12/8/08 11:22am From: stingy d

Mon. 12/8/08 11:26am From: annie

Mon. 12/8/08 11:29am From: stingy d

zing zap! well if you go have fun... i'm gonna try not to take too much more kolonopin... also free pbr btw 7-9

Mon. 12/8/08 11:29am From: annie

ok, so far: gloria graham and "brute force"... those win.. gloria graham is my all-time fave actress "and loretta young".

Mon. 12/8/08 11:30am From: Ted

I just looked at TCM's website and "Brute Force" is on this month's schedule. Also, tomorrow night's guest programmer is Frank Miller!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:31am From: Ted

Oops, that's Wednesday that Frank Miller is on.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:34am From: dc pat

TCM is the ONLY thing I watch on TV. I don't care what's on--s'long as it's black and white.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:34am From: Santa Bard

I'll sit around the station if need be. I'm not letting this Santa costume go to waste...

Mon. 12/8/08 11:34am From: Ike

Yeah the Asian markets have really cheap fruits and veggies but sometimes the quality is low. Particularly the tasteless cardboard Chinese garlic. I want good strong local garlic for less than $4 or $5/lb. Some farmers in Union Square want $10/lb! Eek!

Stingy, I can't understand a thing you're saying. Are you on Klonopin RIGHT NOW? That would explain the illegible posts. Or did you simply never pay attention in English class?

Mon. 12/8/08 11:36am From: annie

ike, that's outrageous, the price for garlic.. that's exploitation... for shame!!! you can easily find it for 7 or less upstate... time to grow your own, eh?

Mon. 12/8/08 11:38am From: stingy d

i am current;y under the imfluence of klonopin and lalso i am a high school dro p ut so its a doubl ewhamy

Mon. 12/8/08 11:39am From: stingy d

and wine, and percorcet actually there was a eprceocet inthere

Mon. 12/8/08 11:40am From: stingy d

but thats not the point the point is that there is a show worth attending at the knitting factory toinght and i am invitingyou

Mon. 12/8/08 11:42am From: Ike

Isn't growing garlic pretty hard? Also I live in an apt., so no back yard. Actually I live in NJ (work in NYC) but no farmer's markets within easy reach in NJ.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:42am From: annie...

it's easy.. you might even be able to get away with planting some even now...

Mon. 12/8/08 11:45am From: Bad Ronald

I understood free PBRs btwn 7&9 at the knitting factory tonight!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:46am From: Doug in DC

Stingy, you need some adderall to bring yrself back up now.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:46am From: dc pat

that's the only way I'd drink PBR

Mon. 12/8/08 11:47am From: stingy d

adderall?! nah, i just tke a nap soon, until its time ot go.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:50am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:52am From: Bad Ronald

Did you finally get the Vermont Country Store to give you the ax Stingy?

Mon. 12/8/08 11:55am From: Mon. Dane

He tempted them with ripe tracks!
He hit them hard with mesmerizing negativity WITHOUT SHAME!
Helpless listerns couldn't deny the attraction...couldn't resist the DJ stalking the daytime danger-zone...a man whose true mistress was an untamed muscal appetite, a guy who carnked up the heat on the coldest days with free-form lawlessness!
...Tearing away the prim dress of drab playlists, determined to leave nothing out of his wide-open conceptual embrace!
...Driven in his unbridled pursuit of a theory, andt this was a theory of....EVERYTHING!!!

This was " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !"

Mon. 12/8/08 11:56am From: not even close to sean daily

woo hoo!

Mon. 12/8/08 11:56am From: stingy d

nah i took a feww days off currently

Mon. 12/8/08 11:57am From: Bruce

Jonathan!!!!!!!!!!!! My day is complete.

Mon. 12/8/08 11:57am From: Bad Ronald

Well alright. Seems like you're maximizing the downtime!

Wed. 12/10/08 12:11am From: tammy

So have you ever wanted to try to make your facebook page unique? It's pretty hard considering you can't change colours of your background or text. I decided to do some research and see if I could add some cool pictures or something to make my profile stand out,than I came across a site www.hypster.com that let you make a free account and add music players to your facebook page! not only that but you can change the colours to! so not only will your new facebook profile be playing one of your favourite songs but it will be your favourite colour or colours! please take a look! And if you don't have facebook, this site's codes also work for myspace, bebo, piczo etc. take a look at www.hypster.com
