Thursdays 9am - Noon on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

Whoa Dale
Invaded Cambodia without telling anyone.....prolonged the war so he could end it in time for it to be used for his re election, Created a White House Enemies List that included normal law abiding citizens ( who disagreed with him ). Nixon should have gone to jail. And Bush will pre pardon all his cronies before leaving office Both administrations are criminal

Thu. 1/15/09 9:54am From: still b/p

tx scott -- I kept feeling like I wuz jumping all jinxy doomface off the inaugural podium even before the bunting was hung by noting that some missteps are surely coming, and I don't have much confidence that the political and social culture can be much reoriented. Aretha makes me wanna believe, though!

Thu. 1/15/09 10:33am From: still b/p

I did like that last song, but evidently pitch is not the Shaggs' Own Thing.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:34am From: Mooose

At least there's only ONE thing wrong.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:39am From: 55bbrr

I'd love to hear the Shagg's version of 'America', I Feel Pretty', 'Gee Officer Krupke', etc.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:42am From: erella

Hi! so sweet to hear Robert Wyatt's voice! Yours too. I haven't been able to hear you in too long and this is a wonderful welcome. Thank you

I agree with Erella..so nice to have some trouble with my 2nd cup of Coffee...

My husband has worked with him (as a radio plugger ) in England and says he's one of the nicest/genuine people he has ever encountered.
keep it going Ms. Trouble

Thu. 1/15/09 10:48am From: dale

re: trouble's mention of hobbies - I just got a sewing machine to try quilting (if only I could sew some food or fuel for the furnace with it). Anyone else have new hobbies/interests in aught nine?

Thu. 1/15/09 10:49am From: www.erella.net

Jennie, what is a radio plugger?

Thu. 1/15/09 10:50am From: annie

• The Coca-Cola Co. is unveiling a new global ad campaign around the theme “Open Happiness,” replacing ‘The Coke Side of Life.” It is hoped, according to the Wall Street Journal, that it will “appeal to consumers' longing for comfort and optimism at a time when the weakening economy is sapping soft-drink sales.”
i feel better already..

Thu. 1/15/09 10:50am From: trouble

of course annie, 20 $ is just grand! AND HELLO Erella! i hope this means you are well!

Thu. 1/15/09 10:50am From: Mooose

Thu. 1/15/09 10:52am From: Doug in DC

Strange coincidence, a friend and I were talking about Sylvia Plath last night.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:52am From: GP

My sister got a membership in our local blacksmith guild/club as a CHristams gift...so I guess that is my new hobby.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:53am From: GP

Trouble. i rally liked hearing Sylvia..in fact I believe that is the first time I have heard her voice..She sounds a bit like she is from Wales but I know she is Yankee.

Dale..good book...I have no anvil yet or anything, but it has always been an interest.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:58am From: jim gallagher

What a pleasant treat to hear Sylvia Plath on air. Ariel would be lovely to hear too.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:59am From: dale

Salvay rekkid hunting has dried up for me. too many Firestone Xmas albums and copies of 'The Button Down Mind...'Annie, we got a Husqvarna Quilter on ebay. It blows the doors off the old black straight stitch Singer we have.

Thu. 1/15/09 10:59am From: trouble

i am so thrilled that you are all talking about making things with your hands.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:01am From: annie

dale, i lovemy old singer... i have a young friend who sews silk scarves, and her machine is sexy as hell. my singer has many attachments, which goes against my buddhist princiales ;)

Thu. 1/15/09 11:01am From: Erella

Yes Trouble, I am way better. This time last year I had an inoperable brain tumour and now I can take my good health for granted just like everyone else. (Just kidding) I am not as strong as I was, but I will be. I Have no tumour.

As for John Peel and Wyatt. That sounds great. Have you guys heard the story about how Billy Bragg got his "big break" by bringing Peel a sandwich or something? I love stories like those.

I love the talk of Singers and Billy bragg and wyatt all at the same time. Trouble, you bring it out of us.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:03am From: dale

remember Red's closing line? "Good night, and may God bless...." For extra credit who said "Leave the latchstring out and the dogs tied up. I'm coming home"?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:06am From: Erella

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Bragg
Here it is:
Hearing DJ John Peel mention on-air that he was hungry, Bragg rushed to the BBC with a mushroom biryani, so Peel played a song from Life's a Riot, although at the wrong speed (since the 12" LP was, unconventionally, cut to play at 45rpm).[8] Peel insisted he would have played the song even without the biryani, and he later played it at the correct speed.
It wasn't a sandwich, it was a biryani.

....and thank you for that dedication, Trouble.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:08am From: erella

did Glenn Campbell say that?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:08am From: Bob

Dear Trouble,

You charaterization of the Lillie Ledbedder act was not quite accurate. Perhaps a lawyer or labor activist responded earlier, but gender-based pay discrimination is already illegal. The LL act is to overturn a procedural ruling of the Bush Supreme Court which says that the time limit for filing legal action claiming gender pay discrimination (I think it is two years, but I'm not sure) is from the time the pay discrimination started. Usually, pay violations are considered a continuing violation that recurs with every pay check. So when LL filed her original suit, she could go retroactive for two years from the date she filed the suit. In her case, since she did not discover that she was being discriminated against for more than the time limit in the law after the discrimination began, the Court threw out her suit.

The act, if passed by Congress, will re-affirm that pay discrimination is a contiuing violation.

Apologies for the typos and the delay in commenting. I'm trying to get out of the house and everyone knows how difficult that can be.

BTW, I find it amusing and interesting coincidental that GWB's last day in office in the national holiday for MLK's birthday. You can be sure that GWB's birthday will never be a national holiday.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:08am From: dale

10 points to Erella! I hope you use our points wisely....

Thu. 1/15/09 11:09am From: annie

"i'd like to teach the world to sing" is way up there along with "it's a small world after all" that can evoke small tearfulness from mine eyes.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:18am From: trouble

bob, i appreciate your clarification of the fine points of the lilly ledbetter bill. But if women can not file a grievance at any time then the equality of pay is not guaranteed.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:19am From: WWW.Erella.net

Hey I love seeing the Marvin Gaye coke commercial. That is good on that page. I will use the points as well as I can.

Have you seen the Harry Nilsson movie the Point, Dale?

Here is a bit of joy for your amusement.
This is really funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G8jeVrzJ9U
I just saw this today. It is Johnny cash doing an elvis impression.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:20am From: dale

this appears to be a progessive group of folks, so here's an online petition to have Obama appoint a Secretary to the Arts. It seems legit:

Thu. 1/15/09 11:22am From: Chris

Hey what was that song that wasn't garland green yet after musee mechanique, sounded like Tim Buckley with dulcimer noise etc

Thu. 1/15/09 11:22am From: www.Erella.net

It would be nice to have a secretary for the Arts but really, do you think a petition would make Obama consider such an idea? I don't know if these things really do anything other than con us into thinking that we have a voice.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:24am From: annie

dale, i will counter that with this:
http://www.organicconsumers.org/vilsack.cfm

if he is nominated, which seems likely, unfortunately, the future of our food safety is even more in question. and as an aside www.change.gov is great way to voice yourself too

Thu. 1/15/09 11:24am From: dale

i haven't seen the point in years. it was always on televsion in the early 70s but disappeared from consciousness. I'll see if i can order it at blockbuster.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:25am From: Erella

Sorry to sound discouraging there. It would be a fantastic idea, And maybe that is the gift that Obama has given Americans, it is the concept of hope and imagination. Obama is the first american politician I can imagine in an art gallery or buying a cd for his own pleasure.
I think that is monumentally significant.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:25am From: annie

trouble, thanks for the soap-box forum today, i've been pretty active in this field a long time and am feeling very frustrated..

i could see Bush in one of those galleries with the bronzes of cowboys and western paintings. But it would be great fun to follow him around Dia.

Once I was at this Zen center, and I asked them what the point of it all was, and they sat me down and had me watch that movie, no joke.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:30am From: annie

chris, it makes total sense eh?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:31am From: Sean Daily

Chris: That sounds like something a Zen Buddhist would do.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:31am From: annie

my favorite response to alot of that questioning and stress is the table-slap.

I just watched a CBC-TV documentary (I live in toronto, Canada) about plastic. They made a scary point:
The guy asked you to think about every bit of plastic you've ever seen in your lifetime (they showed images of coffee cups and hair dryers and bad old computers and phones and 60's chairs...)
They then told us that every bit of that plastic is still here on earth.
Then they said that plastic is looking more like food and food is looking more like plastic. It was fascinating to see how little pellets of plastic looks like plankton and the fish eat it, and there are islands the size of england in the ocean, made of discarded plastic.
Very sobering dcc.

Annie, more power to you and your movement.

They said, "The point is nil, son."

Yesterday I listened to the show when you interviewed Barbara Morgenstern, great interview. You played camouflage again today. I was wondering, are the lyrics a haiku?

erella, if you are interested i blog at OCA as radicalmom

Thu. 1/15/09 11:34am From: erella

Bart, is that you?
Chris,
I love that comment and the thought of watching The Point in a Zen Centre.

Annie, OCA?
Ontario College of Art?

This is awesome!

Thu. 1/15/09 11:35am From: erella

Nice to meet you all.
This is fun, trouble. Thank you for this.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:35am From: Ted from Baltimore

Damn, Trouble, so much music I have to get after listening to your show this morning. And um, does "shite" count as cursing in a different language in FCC-land?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:36am From: GP

Get em Annie...
I like that quote Erella: "Then they said that plastic is looking more like food and food is looking more like plastic."

i take my recycling to the transfer station (dump) every other weekend and we have a 50 gallon rubbermaid can full of HDPE, styrofoam and tin, mostly from food packaging. and we eat no processed food either. The paper pile gets smaller, though, since the Times jacked up the price to a dollar and a half. erella, any good memories of Tiny Talent Time or Party Game?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:38am From: dale

sorry - if it's in a tin, it's processed somehow...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:39am From: annie

erella, it's a pleasure to have your voice here in the sandbox

Thu. 1/15/09 11:40am From: Sean Daily

Ted from Baltimore: Of course "shite" doesn't count, Ted! I mean, why not? None that the FCC's morality corps does make sense; why should that?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:41am From: annie

trouble!!! i forgot to tell you. joe mcgasko has bird vinyl i sent down there. ask him and see if you will be able to wrest it from him. i did put your name on the list next to the name if the album.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:42am From: Cecile

cooooooooooooooooooooold. too coooooooooooooooooooooooold.

If dave is from MN, it's -20 without windchill.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:44am From: Ellen

Trouble- listening from the Museum of Natural History in NYC where you would have a hay day with all the drawers of stuffed bird specimens. Some are very very old. You would like...although I'm a fan of the alive sort...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:46am From: Erella

Haha Dale, yes I remember them both (perhaps a bit too much). Scary.

Toronto has a pretty green Mayor. Our compost gets picked up at our houses every week and the curbside recycling program is super advanced.
Now there is a new bylaw that all stores have to charge extra for plastic bags. It all helps.
When I go to visit my friends in Michigan and see no mandated recycle programs I find it surprising and kind of retro. "Oh, look a No Smoking section in the family restaurant".

Yergh but it is soooooo cold here today. A million below zero, at least.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:48am From: dale

Trouble, "Never Marry a Railroad Man" is a great SB song, too...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:48am From: annie

erella i have fond memories of Garbagio's in eugene. waaaayyy ahead of their time.. and people actually enjoyed washing cans to be in the loop on recycling.. we have gotten way too lazy..

Thu. 1/15/09 11:48am From: Ellen

I wish we had compost pick-up in NYC! No one has backyards...it only makes sense!

Thu. 1/15/09 11:48am From: trouble

i was under the understanding that if it wasn't U.S. english it was ok. hope that didn't bother...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:49am From: Cecile

Erella, Michigan does have a very good bottle deposit program. I bought myself many mac 'n' cheese dinners with the beer bottles lying around when I was a tad.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:49am From: PMD

I hear your love buzz. So sorry I missed this morning! Darn work... And can;t keep up with the comments... But I'll go back and read.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:50am From: GP

Ellen..did you ever read those crime novels by Doug Preston and Lincoln Childs? A bunch of their scenarios take place in the Museum of Natural History...pretty good, entertaining reads. One of the authors used to work there or something.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:50am From: Ellen

Yes...Nirvana cover...sweet hahahha

Thu. 1/15/09 11:51am From: trouble

I love the birds at the natl history museum

Thu. 1/15/09 11:51am From: Ellen

GP- no, I haven't, but I found the book, "Bankers, Bones and Beetles" about the museum to be really interesting. It's a very mysterious place to work for sure. Magical!

Thu. 1/15/09 11:52am From: kent goldings

trouble,
i've heard 'feck' on billy jam's show, so i think 'shite' is okay...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:53am From: GP

I love to visit...the history and the architecture is amazing. Check out those books if you get a chance. THey have a whole series involving Agent Pendergast chracter as an FBI agent.

Take care.all.off to a meeting now

Thu. 1/15/09 11:54am From: Lou

awesome show as usual

sending you some red sox love

Thu. 1/15/09 11:54am From: Ellen

Trouble- Me too....

The first time I got a tour of the ornithology department ( I work in entomology), there was a man doing some water color paintings of some of the stuffed birds- like for book illustrations or something. They were so beautiful. He made them look so alive...

Thu. 1/15/09 11:54am From: jk

love buzz isn't a nirvana cover, that's the original.

this is a great version of nonono. love the show

Thu. 1/15/09 11:54am From: dale

ellen, i've started seeing electric undercounter composters (look like a little dishwasher). The good is no smelly garbage and compost. The bad is it uses electricity - most likely coal fired around here.

Thu. 1/15/09 11:55am From: pinky aoki

Fab!! dig one more 60's Dutch garage track please,"Russian spy and I" by THE HUNTERS!!

Thu. 1/15/09 11:57am From: annie

trouble, thanks for the fabulous show today...welcome back erella

Thu. 1/15/09 11:57am From: Ellen

Thanks, Dale. I think I know the kind you're talking about. I still think the city should invest in public compost pick up. I think those composters cost a couple hundred bucks and I just don't know what you'd even do with it without a backyard, ya know?

Thu. 1/15/09 11:58am From: Ted from Baltimore

"Feck" always reminds me of David Sedaris's story about finding the poorly edited porn novel when he was a kid

Thu. 1/15/09 11:58am From: Ike

I love that Passion Pit song and the JAMs (a.k.a. the KLF, which stands for Kopyright Liberation Front). I don't know why they abbreviated Justified Ancients of Mu Mu as "JAMs" but they did, apparently. What wankers. But great ones.

Thu. 1/15/09 4:13pm From: mike tp

hi trubbs really fine show patrick macgoohan of the show prisonerhas passed.
