Thu. 4/30/09 1:38pm From: GP

DJ Trent Turned me on to that one Ceci

Thu. 4/30/09 1:39pm From: Cecile

it's very cool
My sisters had that album, but it's been over, well, a very long time since I heard it.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:40pm From: GP

Just reading about Absinthe..has anyone tried it?

Thu. 4/30/09 1:41pm From: Cecile

my friend was making it for a while during the time it was illegal.
I prefer ouzo, better for washing down greek food.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:41pm From: stingy d

yea dab some synth in there!

Thu. 4/30/09 1:42pm From: maria

absinutely not

Thu. 4/30/09 1:42pm From: dc pat

GP: I did. You don't need it, so don't eat it. It made me sick and I hallucinated slightly.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:43pm From: ronnie!

rock on grrlfriend!

Thu. 4/30/09 1:44pm From: GP

Stingy..Absynth..either a new band or an exercise machine.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:44pm From: BSI

The best absinthe still isn't distributed here in the States. Kubler is alright, but there's better out there if you're willing to do an expensive int'l web order.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:44pm From: just a guy

@GP I had a bottle a few years back. ORderd it from the internets and it came in a box with "unsolicited gift" written on it. Not sure if it was illegal at the time (6 years ago I think?) or just illegal to sell it over borders or whatever.

It tasted pretty good. I dropped some sugar into it as i guess you're supposed to. Didn't seem to do more than make me drunk though.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:46pm From: Steve

Try it with about 6-to-1 water and a sugar cube, it's pretty nice that way. Good stuff is pricey though ...

Thu. 4/30/09 1:46pm From: dc pat

could have been my tendency to over-do everything...

Thu. 4/30/09 1:46pm From: GP

Yea, this is one that is imported here now:

I don't know, it just looks interesting.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:47pm From: david from littltemiddle ks

Last flu season The Hutchinson News,the newspaper from the "town"where i "live" actually published a whole 1/2 page, sunday front, showing the proper procedure on how to propely wash your hands.......yes,,,, wash your hands,,,,,,,LearnnewthingsfromKs.[we do have 1 credit though our library does have a copy of "The Art and Music of WFMU"]thanks 2 some weirdo patron]

Thu. 4/30/09 1:47pm From: BSI

The Absinthe Duplais (verte) is marvelous stuff. Gotta do it properly (the whole dilution ritual, etc) and it's delicious. See here:
http://www.absinthe.de/

Thu. 4/30/09 1:49pm From: GP

LOL Maria...this muffler thing is hilarious...

Thu. 4/30/09 1:51pm From: just a guy

Is Fabio's Muffler the reason WFMU is soliciting car donations?

I love this big bloody blondie cover.

Thu. 4/30/09 1:53pm From: What!

A colleague flagged me down in the hallway and told me that it sounded like someone was screaming in my office. It was the Stock, Hausen and Walkman track. Thanks for that!

Thu. 4/30/09 1:54pm From: Parq

Luv this BB version of "Glass", but I just have to note, the original line is "It's just no good you treating me like dead wood", not "you teasing me like you do."

Thu. 4/30/09 1:56pm From: james gallagher

Ah - I though I heard Big Blood from my computer speakers. Never heard this one before. Love the weirdness!

Glenn, is that it? I always thought it was "on love's poor Jewish guy".

Thu. 4/30/09 2:06pm From: Glenn L

Do you think that's a Chris Stein reference, Parq?

Thu. 4/30/09 2:07pm From: trent

I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASN'T HERE FOR YOU PLAYING VISITORS. I GOT A BIKE!!!! ONLY ONE SPEED. IT'S CALLED "FREE SPIRIT"

Thu. 4/30/09 2:08pm From: maria

YAY Bike!!!!! Ok BIKE#1 let's go Bikeeee

Thu. 4/30/09 2:09pm From: Parq

Glenn, what about that guy who got dicked out of being in the band when they got back together ten or so years ago. No wait, didn't he have an Italian name? Your theory might just hit the nail on the head. And it's yours, too!

Thu. 4/30/09 2:11pm From: Luisa

Maria! Your back on! Yeah! COME OUT DANCING TONIGHT!

Thu. 4/30/09 2:11pm From: GP

Trent, is that an old school bike?I think Free Spirit used to be a Sears brand....built like a tank.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:14pm From: trent

GP - yes, it's pretty old school. the guy said it has these steel seams that make it sturdy. it looks like it might be sears. but it is awesome and light.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:15pm From: Glenn L

It would explain why Chris Stein got so sick, Parq, but I think the Blondie member who was not brought on for the reunion was (guitarist?) Frank Infante.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:15pm From: GP

Cool, enjoy riding around. I'm looking for one myself.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:16pm From: Steve

Just tuned in. LIke what I'm hearing.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:17pm From: trent

Just tuned in. LIke what I'm hearing.

GP - if you're in the city this place Brooklyn Board and Bike on Vanderbilt and Dean is awesome and pretty reasonable.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:41pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Terry, WL are my initials. I didn't think I was *that* scary! haha.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:42pm From: stingy d

riding a bike in nyc is tons of fun! it sucks getting hit by cars, but i've had worse.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:44pm From: Terry

The non-audio WL: oh noes! I'm sure your current version is non-scary.

Thu. 4/30/09 2:46pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Terry, I guess it depends who you ask :-D
