Diddley!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:01pm From: Jøe Steele

First, boo ya.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:01pm From: Jøe Steele

Oh now I just feel silly.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:02pm From: gerardo

hola, liz!

nice start ;)

hi everyone! (hi pearly)

no way to assert "firsts" here, js...

Mon. 4/13/09 12:03pm From: Carmichael

This doesn't sound like Bo Diddley.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:05pm From: Carmichael

This does sound like Bo Diddley.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:05pm From: Liz B.

Sorry everyone, couldn't resist. It will go a little further downhill before we come back up again!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:05pm From: Pearly Sweets

Oh you saucy minx! This is bringing up my day!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:06pm From: Pearly Sweets

Aloha, Gerardo!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:06pm From: Carmichael

Now I'm intrigued.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:08pm From: Jøe Steele

Do your worst.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:08pm From: Joe

How bout something from Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle"

Mon. 4/13/09 12:08pm From: gerardo

you've read "me mind", liz :D

and then the powers talk about plagiarism... idiots!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:08pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:09pm From: Joe

No, wait... "Paid tha Cost to Be that Boss"

Because the dog paid the cost. And now he's the boss. Of dogs.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:10pm From: Carmichael

Gotta have the shave-and-a-haircut beat.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:11pm From: Sean Daily

Is anyone else's Web stream skipping?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:12pm From: Carmichael

My WMP is clear as a bell.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:13pm From: still b/p

WMP = White Man's Privilege?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:13pm From: Joe

World Monkey Population

Mon. 4/13/09 12:14pm From: Pearly Sweets

The playlist and the chat is going in and out of lag, but the audio is fine for me and my Willie Mays Pitch

Mon. 4/13/09 12:14pm From: gerardo

"i want candy" versions?, i love this one

(preparing some new material to send soon ;))

Mon. 4/13/09 12:15pm From: Walter Mitty

Perfection!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:16pm From: Jay from Scotland

Sublime

Mon. 4/13/09 12:18pm From: BSI

Wicked Marmoset Plasma.
obviously.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:18pm From: Cecile

I'm missing something.

Long may Eddie Grant wave. Up to about Electric Avenue. Which I still like.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:18pm From: Walter Mondale's priest

When malcontents post, wise men parry.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:20pm From: Joe

Well, without Electric Avenue, where wouldst one rock down to?

And then, from whence to take it higher?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:20pm From: gerardo

is this Tafo track from the 50s, 60s? - gorgeous!

(cecile! :D)

Mon. 4/13/09 12:21pm From: Liz B.

The Tafo track is from 1976, from a film called "Aj Da Badmash"

Mon. 4/13/09 12:22pm From: Ike

I have to agree with Cecile on that one.

And no skipping here. AAC+ is sounding great on Foobar. And Foobar crushes the lame-o Warbly Mush Plank.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:23pm From: Cecile

I have been listening to the beta player because WIMP is being a bit of a bastage these days..

A little bit buggy, but the sound is amazing.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:24pm From: Cecile

that's exactly right, Joe.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:25pm From: Joe

Mariposa means "butterfly" but, I found out recently, is also a slur.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:27pm From: Carmichael

Agreed about the Wonderful Mongolian Pedestrian.

But you gotta understand,
I'm just a workin' for the Man.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:27pm From: Liz B.

Never heard of mariposa as a slur, maybe you are thinking "maricon"?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:27pm From: gerardo

thanx, liz! ;) - you can never derive recording dates from that kind of material

in this song's case, the allusion is literal, joe

great song! - r u dancing, cecile?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:27pm From: Joe

Nope. Definitely a slur. Means the same thing, however.

Don't ask me how I found out.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:28pm From: Jøe Steele

Holy crap, this is freaking awesome.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:28pm From: Carmichael

Butterfly, as in "one who is not faithful".

Mon. 4/13/09 12:29pm From: Cecile

Or likes Mariah Carey a lot.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:30pm From: BSI

According to my high-school spanish teacher, 'mariposa' would be a butterfly, but also a term of certain abuse towards male humans who prefer the romantic company of other male humans. ... one of the few things retained in the memory from school...

oh, and thursday was plastic square pizza day.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:30pm From: ted

liz, is this oorutaichi album out in the US?? haven't been able to find hard copies of his stuff anywhere!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:31pm From: gerardo

"maricón" is a strong word for gay males, literally meaning "poco hombre"

your assertion is right,. carm, but I insist, in the case of the song it was literal

your comment reminded me of ken's last marathon performance, cecile...

Mon. 4/13/09 12:33pm From: Liz B.

Apparently the Oorutaichi CD can be purchased at Other Music and/or CD Baby.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:33pm From: gerardo

i c

the usage of "mariposa" BSI mentions is common in central america countries ;)

Mon. 4/13/09 12:34pm From: Liz B.

Thanks for the slang lessons, Gerardo!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:35pm From: Cecile

lmao, gerardo! Don't tell me he did "vision of love"!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:35pm From: Joe

Needs some reclamation - it's such a fun word to say. Wonderful cadence.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:35pm From: zoot

Golly gosh, I can't believe that Prince Rama of Ayodha would rip off Bo Diddley the way he did on that last cut.
A clever and subversive set, Ms. B

Mon. 4/13/09 12:37pm From: Carmichael

That very 1st track sounded more like King Khan or Mojo Nixon.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:41pm From: Animal Planet

WMP = When Mariposas Pounce!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:47pm From: gerardo

anytime, liz! ;)

yes, cecile, ken sang 'vision of love', and i presume he was wearing some boobs that finally fell down or something (talking about maricones...) btw, when will those videos be on the blog, liz?

Mon. 4/13/09 12:52pm From: Liz B.

Yes, I hope those vids from the Marathon Finale will be up soon. Though I'm not so sure you want visions of Ken from that night!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:54pm From: dc pat

WHOA! Nice song title!

Mon. 4/13/09 12:55pm From: gerardo

a couple of girl friends of mine are regulars at a krsna temple here, and they say there are some jam moments when the guys playing instruments start mixing chants and mantras with their folk rhythms. that would explain the diddley -prince rama liaison ;)

long live plunderphonics!

and yes, liz, i want to see ken, and you with keili, and bethany, and brownyn and every hoof & mouther there! (i would've love watching bronwyn during her "pledge drive" trance! :D)

Mon. 4/13/09 12:57pm From: Lisa

Great show Liz! I can actually listen in real time this week! K is loving Japan - wants to move.

Mon. 4/13/09 12:59pm From: Liz B.

Hey Lisa, good to hear from you and glad that Keili is having a blast in Japan!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:02pm From: dc pat

thee oh sees have such a killer guit sound...

Mon. 4/13/09 1:10pm From: Carmichael

Now we're talking. Something about Thai/Viet pop that just grabs me.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:13pm From: gerardo

carm.. i've learned it's no use having expectations on 'fmu's playlists. this sense of permanent surprise is a plus no other station in the world has! :D

Mon. 4/13/09 1:17pm From: Carmichael

Gerardo, the name of my new band will be Permanent Surprise.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:19pm From: gerardo

cool, carm! - wanna hear that

Mon. 4/13/09 1:19pm From: dc pat

does anybody else fined boingboing.net and their obsession w/ star wars-type crap a little too cute and fekkin annoying?

Mon. 4/13/09 1:22pm From: chris

Yeah, there's an Alvin and the Chipmunks vibe I can live without.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:24pm From: postmanpaul

i trust you liz. i'm happy to walk beside you thru this musical maze.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:25pm From: gerardo

i'm with u, p²

Mon. 4/13/09 1:26pm From: gerardo

liz, do u have "elevar la producción" around, to mix it with MIS pals?

Mon. 4/13/09 1:27pm From: chris

That's not to say the show isn't sounding great. It is.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:30pm From: detroitdave

WOW, this sucks...........Hi Liz and all!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:32pm From: dc pat

alright, guess it's just me then...sometimes it seems like "Xeni" and the gang need to grow up some

Mon. 4/13/09 1:34pm From: Carmichael

Popcorn.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:36pm From: gerardo

hi, d²

more candies, liz? ;)

so it's disco time starting...

Mon. 4/13/09 1:37pm From: Liz B.

I think this is the most discolicious song I have planned for the show today...

Mon. 4/13/09 1:38pm From: gerardo

yep - it's sexy and sensuous...

Mon. 4/13/09 1:41pm From: Marshall Stacks

Grandmaster Liz B. on the wheels of steel!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:41pm From: detroitdave

Hi Gerardo, so Liz..........you PLANNED disco for the show today?? Hmmm, strange days indeed!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:43pm From: Liz B.

I'm no disco-hater. Last week I had an unplanned space disco escapade, to boot!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:45pm From: Pearly Sweets

Space disco escapade was wonderful! This song makes me think of the propellerheads, a group I haven't thought about for at least 10 years.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:46pm From: gerardo

yeah, great time indeed! - everybody dancin' around... "corn weenies on the ceiling"...

Mon. 4/13/09 1:47pm From: Pearly Sweets

I saw a pretty gnarly accident on the way to lunch (which made the lunch part go away) so I need more fun in my diet to take away the imagery!

Mon. 4/13/09 1:48pm From: Pearly Sweets

Also I have a question I've asked a few times, but no one has been able to provide an answer. So I'll see if this group knows. Is the first OCS album worth trying to track down?

Mon. 4/13/09 1:50pm From: Cecile

what is OCS? Or is it OhSees

Mon. 4/13/09 1:53pm From: Pearly Sweets

OCS was the Ohsees before the were the ohsees. Their first four (five?) album

Mon. 4/13/09 1:55pm From: GP

Afternoon y'all.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:55pm From: Pearly Sweets

It sounded like John doing folk music mixed with noise dirges. 2,3,& 4 are all pretty great. 5 was when they started going towards the current Thee Oh Sees sound. Then Sucks Blood came out which was the first one under The Ohsees... for like two albums? Then it changed to Thee Oh Sees.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:55pm From: Cecile

I have my tickets in MN. You don't have to like them. I like them enough for both of us, Liz. And probably this entire board.

Mon. 4/13/09 1:59pm From: Pearly Sweets

I wish the meatmen and dead milkmen would play together and just do versions of the "milkmen/meatmen stomp" for the entire show.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:00pm From: Cecile

Rachid Taha is stunning live. He is so great.
Soooooo great.
He is an Algerian sex machine - his own words!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:01pm From: dc pat

did you just say the Meatmen? holy crap...

Mon. 4/13/09 2:01pm From: gerardo

oh, my!, is rachid james brown prodigal son or sth?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:03pm From: Liz B.

Yeah, the Meatmen!!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:03pm From: Pearly Sweets

Tesco Vee finally came out of hiding a few years back. There is a good interview with him at markprindle.com from a year or so ago.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:04pm From: Cecile

I don't know.
But as they might say in New Zealand, he is viry sixy.
And the band never lets up!

War of the Superbikes!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:08pm From: Cecile

Is scalping the guru the same thing as going gunning for the Buddha?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:14pm From: detroitdave

Now THIS set has much better appeal.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:26pm From: detroitdave

YAY....... Cheater Slicks!!!!!!!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:26pm From: Pearly Sweets

I want to live in a city that affords me an alliteration with my name. But there aren't many good "R" cities around.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:26pm From: Sean Daily

They say, Cecile, that when you find the Buddha, kill the Buddha.

Who says that? Why, those bastards who hate Buddha, of course.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:29pm From: Cecile

Lousy Buddhaphobes.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:29pm From: dc pat

Sweets: tell me about it...

Mon. 4/13/09 2:29pm From: detroitdave

So to clarify Sean,......do we hafta hate him before we go gunnin fer im?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:35pm From: Blingy Buddah

Don't be a hata yo

Peace, out and all dat.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:35pm From: Cecile

I think you kill him out of love. Like some kind of spiritual Lifetime movie.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:36pm From: Most Dangerous Game dude

we love you, so you must die.

Get runnin'

Mon. 4/13/09 2:37pm From: Pearly Sweets

Black Randy!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:38pm From: Pearly Sweets

This song should always be followed by PacMan Fever. Any version of it.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:39pm From: detroitdave

Actually I don't hate Buddah........he's one of the more popular incense burners. Sets are gettin lovable Liz!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:39pm From: jt

I slept in a monks tune

Mon. 4/13/09 2:39pm From: Douchey Promoter Guy

Tuxedomoon will draw 400 people.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:39pm From: GP

2nd vote for Pacman Fever!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:41pm From: Black Randy

I think you should book The Mentors, they're great.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:41pm From: Douchy Promoter Guy

what about the Go-Gos?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:43pm From: Pearly Sweets

I would have loved to see the go gos on the same bill as the mentors.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:45pm From: Cecile

My favorite comment board in-jokes:

1. Ray Manazarek
2. Please Call Stella
3. Black Randy phone call with the promoter
4. AIG
5. Cupcake Dog.
6. Budgie

Mon. 4/13/09 2:47pm From: Pearly Sweets

Now is that in order of enjoyment or no order?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:48pm From: dc pat

hey, I missed out on 1 and 2...

Mon. 4/13/09 2:48pm From: gerardo

wow - lunch time activates the playlist to the most!...

i was asking myself the same question, cecile...

Mon. 4/13/09 2:48pm From: Cecile

No order, really.

You call this food?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:50pm From: Cecile

dc pat, kenny ran this horrible, self-serving interview from Ray Manarek about 3 weeks ago. It was astonishingly narcisstic and quite hilarious.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:51pm From: Cecile

And he had this recording of a phone script to teach English that started with "Please call Stella" and the rest of the piece was the things she would bring which were all completely random.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:53pm From: gerardo

no, i was literal - i left the desk around 20 minutes, in order to have lunch ;)

i liked that manzarek stuff, and i was surprised that kenny played john oswald's o'hell - considering that oswald's no "doors fan" whatsoever...

Mon. 4/13/09 2:53pm From: detroitdave

z z z
z z z z
z z z z z z

Mon. 4/13/09 2:53pm From: Carmichael

And he's been posting ever since. We can't get rid of the bastard.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:54pm From: Pearly Sweets

I kinda want a cupcake for dinner.

Mon. 4/13/09 2:55pm From: dc pat

oh, yeah, Manzarek-talk about douchey... I still like the doors though...thanks for keeping me up on the jokes..

Mon. 4/13/09 2:55pm From: Cecile

that's right!
Him and those leather pants and the Central Park apartment and "I want to see Jim Morrison dead"

Mon. 4/13/09 2:56pm From: Pearly Sweets

Liz, do you have a favorite accuplaylist in-joke?

Mon. 4/13/09 2:57pm From: Carmichael

And incessant drivel about "those jazz cats".

Mon. 4/13/09 2:59pm From: Liz B.

You guys MUST listen to Irene's show today... John Goodman is actually here!!!

Mon. 4/13/09 2:59pm From: gerardo

but, as a storyteller, manzarek sounds great

i think it's like blaming the beatles for being egomaniacal at interviews...

Mon. 4/13/09 3:00pm From: Ike

Willie Nelson is great!

Mon. 4/13/09 3:00pm From: gerardo

so it's "the" john goodman! - i'll stay tooned, then

Mon. 4/13/09 3:01pm From: Pearly Sweets

Manzarek has a good voice, I'll agree with that, but it only adds to how big of a douche he sounds with what he is saying. And I make fun of the Beatles interviews just as much.
