D, meaning Acadamy on 18th Street?

Thu. 4/9/09 12:22pm From: stingy d

Thu. 4/9/09 12:22pm From: Bad R☺nald

Damn! I'm still looking for it...

I think Acadamy is now on 12th Street.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:23pm From: stingy d

Thu. 4/9/09 12:24pm From: stingy d

Thu. 4/9/09 12:25pm From: stingy d

this is totally leading into diamanda galas by the way.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:26pm From: Parq

Does anybody know - is the Acadamy in the East Village related to the one on 18th St? D, sorry, I had a bear of a day yesterday, I must not have been looking up when you wandered by.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:28pm From: Carmichael

Stingy, get "Cornology", the compendium of all Bonzos albums, plus some single Neil Innes & Viv Stanshall solo stuff.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:28pm From: stingy d

it's cool parq. and yes they are the same.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:28pm From: Bad R☺nald

Thu. 4/9/09 12:39pm From: Carmichael

Stingy, do you mean Marilyn Wilson? I haven't listened to them since Surfin' Down the Swanee River.

Thu. 4/9/09 12:40pm From: annie

Thu. 4/9/09 12:46pm From: Happy Listener

Thu. 4/9/09 12:47pm From: Happy Listener

Thu. 4/9/09 12:47pm From: Cecile

Hunting Tigerse by the Bonzo's is mine and my husband's special song

Thu. 4/9/09 12:49pm From: Happy Listener

I'm just doing the shimmy that's all!

Thu. 4/9/09 1:07pm From: stingy d

yes carmichael, the same... sorry for the de-lay-de-lay-de-lay

Thu. 4/9/09 1:08pm From: Parq

'Cile, what a lovely choice for "your song". A bunkmate of mine in camp in 1970 told me about the Bonzos and "Hunting Tigers", probably my first step on a long road that led me to WFMU.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:10pm From: stingy d

my first step toward wanting a different set of musical values was ol dirty bastard. but i'm a young'n

Thu. 4/9/09 1:10pm From: ?

when a man loves uhhhh wommunn,, aaaaauua augg yyyyaaaarr arrra uhhhu uh

Thu. 4/9/09 1:11pm From: Cecile

I think so. The first song we ever danced to was "nights in white satin", but we rejected it in favor of "Tigers". We sang it (and still sing it) on car trips.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:23pm From: stingy d

hufffff... here comes another long day

Thu. 4/9/09 1:29pm From: annie

ok, what'd i miss?.......... hhmm. ok. hi all.

You missed the Strangulated Beatoffs, Annie.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:34pm From: Cecile

pyrolator? Is that the band from German in the 80s?

Thu. 4/9/09 1:35pm From: Cecile

Germany

Thu. 4/9/09 1:39pm From: north guinea hills

How could you not know about Twin Peaks? Even my gf, who is in her mid-20s and from Mexico loves Twin Peaks. Then again, she's a David Lynch fiend.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:40pm From: Cecile

ngh, I don't can't even get wound up about that anymore. It doesn't even seem like there's any kind of common pop culture anymore- just little cults and fandoms...

Thu. 4/9/09 1:40pm From: annie

charm..... i'm bummed. totally...

Thu. 4/9/09 1:41pm From: annie

ok, folks, gonna hoof it to another exciting episode of 1001 nights..

Thu. 4/9/09 1:47pm From: Kevin in BayRidge

Parq & Cecile,
Sad thang is... I bonded with the Bonzo's right on commercial FM (WPLJ circa early 70's) compliments of Scelsa & company.

Different frakkin woild!
Viva FMU for filling an ancient void!!!

Thu. 4/9/09 1:48pm From: stingy d

wfmu keeping the cult in culture. otherwise i guess its monolithture

"Front loader you know my need is urgent. Front loader I've got all my detergent!" - N. Innes

Thu. 4/9/09 1:53pm From: Cecile

Kevin in BR, i hear you.

I grew up with crappy AM in the 70s, but they would still let the hippies play prog, AOR deep tracks (usually better than the singles) and punk records at night. Had a huge influence on me.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:57pm From: Carmichael

I will always love Twin Peaks. In fact, I saw Blue Velvet for the umpteenth time last night. The lines are almost as good as those you'll find in Heathers or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Thu. 4/9/09 1:58pm From: BSI

oh sweet baby monkey god, thankies for the vitamin-like drone here...

Thu. 4/9/09 2:01pm From: stingy d

i'm a baby and i remember watching twin peaks as a little dude. just resting my eyes. and i've been through many a twin peaks marathon.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:01pm From: Carmichael

As for crappy radio, I'll never forget the set I heard on KROY as a 10 year old (and a foreigner):

Smokey Robinson, "Tears of a Clown"
Sammy Davis, Jr., "I Gotta Be Me"
Sgt. Barry Sadler, "The Ballad of the Green Berets"

After that experience, I vowed to stay up late and surf the night-time AM waves for faraway exotic music, instead of the local crap. I found XPRS just across the Mexican border.

That was my first alternative music experience.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:01pm From: Ike

This is like a creepier, homemade take on the Johnny Cash remix by Apparat, and it sounds almost like it's straight out of the wonderful Twin Peaks.

Cecile, thanks for spelling 70s correctly. As for the Bonzos, well, they're just stuck getting spell-raped forever I guess.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:03pm From: Cecile

so you heard it, you heard it, you heard it on the X, Carm?

Thu. 4/9/09 2:03pm From: Carmichael

Ike, thank you for your never-ending apostrophe vigilance and your service to our language.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:04pm From: stingy d

ike, trstu em yuo aer teh olny spel-rapist out there

Thu. 4/9/09 2:04pm From: Carmichael

That is EXACTLY right, Cecile!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:05pm From: lolcat

stingee i liek ur speling

Thu. 4/9/09 2:05pm From: Cecile

Nice, Carm!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:06pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:07pm From: Cecile

I think only you and I like that Glands of External Secretion record, Scott.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:12pm From: Cecile

I think Odessa is possibly the strangest record made by a major rock band that doesn't descend into complete contract-voiding noise. I need to pick this one up

Thu. 4/9/09 2:13pm From: Sean Daily

"Edison" is probably the best piece of non-commercial commercial music I've ever heard.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:14pm From: stingy d

i've always hesitated on getting odessa. maybe i should???

Thu. 4/9/09 2:15pm From: G.

did broadcast/transmitter just crash to white noise? or is it my equipment here at home?

Thu. 4/9/09 2:15pm From: Cecile

Yeah. Exactly.

Me, too, stinge.

I think I have buy it now because every time someone plays a track, I go "WTF?" But in a good way.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:16pm From: Ike

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, are you fixing the dog whistle on 91.1?! Are you fixing it? Huh? Huh? Oh boy! I AM EXCITED! I will be able to listen on a Walkman again!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:17pm From: G.

it came back for two seconds, then white noise again

Thu. 4/9/09 2:17pm From: Ike

That is, assuming all goes well. If that's what you're actually doing.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:17pm From: Cecile

"I got a rubber, he's my new frown?"

Thu. 4/9/09 2:18pm From: G.

you're back lol

Thu. 4/9/09 2:20pm From: Ike

Hey G., did they fix the stereo dog whistle? I can't get the air signal here at work so I can't check.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:20pm From: C

is there a little howlin wolf comp out or something? i've heard him played a bunch this week and would love to pick something up. i was only able to buy a couple of 7" after a show but want more!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:26pm From: G.

not sure; i'm a ways from the transmitter, so sometimes when listening over-air i hear fuzz and glitches come and go at some times of day -- someone else could probably comment better on sound issues??

Thu. 4/9/09 2:26pm From: Sean Daily

This Little Howlin' Wolf rocks in too many ways to count.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:27pm From: Glenn L

C, there are two comps of old LHW 7"'s available thru Here See/ True Vine. I think that's what the label is called.
It's the Nautical Almanac people. Really really great stuff!
Especially - vol. 1

Thu. 4/9/09 2:32pm From: C

Awesome! Thanks, Glenn.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:32pm From: stingy d

ike, spell zarawuhtssictluy

Thu. 4/9/09 2:33pm From: Glenn L

You got it, C. Enjoy!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:34pm From: Cecile

good work, Glenn!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:37pm From: Glenn L

Thanks, Cecile. I had a great time.
Thee oh Sees are currently rocking my world.
I think I have a NEW favorite band.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:40pm From: Cecile

Isn't that great when it happens?
Every time I think I get too jaded to follow music, there's alway someone new or undiscovered or unfamiliar that gets my interest piqued again

Thu. 4/9/09 2:41pm From: Kevin in BayRidge

Cecile,
Being a teenager with "a taste for the bizarre"-FZ, in the Metro NY area, just as FM had a short greening period worked out ok. As long as FMU finally came to the rescue!... Otherwise,who the hell knows what would have happened!!!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:42pm From: Cecile

YESYESYES!
Yes, I have a secret fondness for Billy Squier.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:43pm From: Cecile

a friend of mine would always pick out "everybody wants one" for his punk rock friends in the 80s. When they'd go "dude, that song rocks.! It sounds familiar." Then he would drop the bomb.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:43pm From: dc pat

SCOTT!! CUT IT OUT! I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!

Thu. 4/9/09 2:44pm From: Doug from DC

He's "stroking" our pop sensibilities.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:44pm From: Ike

<grumble>

Thu. 4/9/09 2:45pm From: Cecile

I know Kevin.

I know I quote FotC a lot here, but I read in an interview where FotC's Jemaine Clement saying something like, "when i was little I didn't think I liked music. Turned out I had never heard any good music."

that was a lot of our experiences here, I gather.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:46pm From: Cecile

thanks for throwing a bone to us ex-heshers, Scott.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:47pm From: Scott

Good ol' reliable Ike.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:47pm From: Pearly Sweets

Unga Bunga... 2 hour and fifty minute meeting... I am done with you! Second long ass meeting this week.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:48pm From: dc pat

Ho jeeze...now I REALLY can't concentrate. This visitations/BB song kills me. Puts me somewhere in the vicinity of a movie like Lilith and For a Few Dollars More....

Thu. 4/9/09 2:49pm From: Doug from DC

Oh, I'm psyched. Just secured a ticket to see Throbbing Gristle on Thursday, and got two days off work to do it.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:51pm From: dc pat

this is my favorite song on Earth right now.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:52pm From: Elton John & Neil Sedaka

Big...Biiiig...
Blood...Bloooood...

Thu. 4/9/09 2:53pm From: Scott

me too pat, kinda makes me wanna die and go with it.

Thu. 4/9/09 2:54pm From: dc pat

Scott: Exactly! so, where do I get that again? Do I have to send a telegram to Big Blood or something?

Thu. 4/9/09 2:54pm From: Parq

Is Kev from BR still here? I started listening to PLJ just a couple of *months* before they went playlist. I switched to 'NEW-FM, who by 1979 were running the naked blonde commercial I mentioned during Trouble's show. Then it was college radio, and ultimately, WFMU all the way. (Sorry, Freiwilliger, I know you don't like overly effusive fans, but what can I say?)

Thu. 4/9/09 2:57pm From: scott

pat, yeah, i think so. you can email em thru their myspace
http://www.myspace.com/bigblood24

Thu. 4/9/09 2:58pm From: Cecile

this grouper track was beautiful

Thu. 4/9/09 2:59pm From: dc pat

ok, right, they're "friends" of mine...

Thu. 4/9/09 2:59pm From: Ike

Am I *that* reliable? Would you have thought I'd like Trent's show? I have cheesy mainstream guilty pleasures, but nobody at FMU ever hits on them except for Trent. Does reliable also mean predictable? That's troubling. I need to bury my ego under a damn fine slice of cherry pie, dammit.

Thu. 4/9/09 3:00pm From: Sean Daily

Yeth! THCREAM, my loverly! THCREAM FOR YOUR LIFE! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Thu. 4/9/09 8:06pm From: billyjam
