Mon. 6/15/09 9:29am From: Joe Steele

"I have a feeling things are going to happen here." will be my first comment on each show I comment on from now on.

Very astute, Peggy.

Mon. 6/15/09 9:31am From: Adrian in London

And the hits just keep on coming. That Soundcarriers track was great, and this (BC) is from the best album of the year so far.

Mon. 6/15/09 9:35am From: PMD

What did you do to that poor blind lady?

Mon. 6/15/09 9:39am From: bw

what did I do??? I was the victim!

Mon. 6/15/09 9:41am From: annie

PMD- you rock!

Mon. 6/15/09 9:45am From: Parq

Don Simon panel: I'm guessing that's not a cross he's holding.

Mon. 6/15/09 9:49am From: Joe Steele

Nobody will know it's her? Really?

sigh...

Mon. 6/15/09 9:52am From: PMD

Everyone knows that blind ladies are always right...
Just kidding. You should have beat the crap out of her with her cane...

Mon. 6/15/09 9:53am From: PMD

Won't she trip on that red costume it's so long?

Mon. 6/15/09 10:00am From: Joe Steele

Damn right I'm excited!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:00am From: annie

ah, yes, but does the staircase really frighten him?

Mon. 6/15/09 10:00am From: Parq

That's the up-side of cell phones, Ben. 20 yrs ago, you would have had to find a phone booth and then wait a couple of days to connect with the guy. Of course, the down-side is listening to self-centered nits babbling on and on as you try to walk to work.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:05am From: Joe Steele

Quit facebooking while you're on the job, BW.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:07am From: bw

did you all get your facebook names?

some bastard took bwalker!!!! Iwoke up hungover and all I got was bee.walker56898

Mon. 6/15/09 10:08am From: annie

he should really cut his fingernails.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:08am From: dc pat

ixneh on the acebookfeh

Mon. 6/15/09 10:09am From: annie

bw, i think i like my name; no username for me. radicalmom is in bad enough trouble on other sites, leave alone FB..

Mon. 6/15/09 10:10am From: Joe Steele

I'm the only me on the planet, so not much trouble.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:11am From: Joe Steele

Lady in reddddddddd, is choked into sleep.

By some creep.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:14am From: John Dillinger

Maybe she'll step out with me...go t' the pictures or somethin'.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:16am From: bw

I actually have a few frens who stayed in and up to get those facebook letters!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:18am From: Joe Steele

In hindsight, I supposed I missed the money making opportunity of getting a celebrity name and selling it back to them.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:21am From: annie

now that's devotion bw. and on the bones note, there: i'd love to see a compilation of all the films etc, that have the theme of someone locked up. sound bytes mix.. start the epic with one story and weave through each one, like a ribbon of images.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:23am From: dc pat

god am I glad I have no idea what you're talking about re: facebook.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:24am From: annie

pat, better off......

Mon. 6/15/09 10:25am From: dc pat

on the other hand, MySpace is comin back! Whoa yeah!!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:26am From: Joe Steele

Hey the twitter is where it's at.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:27am From: annie

pat, i gave up myspace due to a virus, were they down? i haven't been there in ages. check my account, you'll see... 'splain, lucy, were they having problems?

Mon. 6/15/09 10:30am From: Cecile

Sad news - Chris Knox from the Tall Dwarfs, Toy Love and solo had a massive stroke over the weekend. Last reports was that he was starting to do a little better.

And the Bats are my friend on MySpace. I'm sure that means I can stay at their place when I visit NZ, right?

Mon. 6/15/09 10:34am From: krebstar

Bembeya Jazz national is out of site -- please give some info on this on at the break!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:35am From: bw

Im gonna be in Copenhagen and Paris for the next few weeks - where are my facebook wfmu folks there? maybe I should just goto the record store ken did his show live from?

Mon. 6/15/09 10:36am From: annie

make sure you bring a corn weenie and say it.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:37am From: Cecile

really, really!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:37am From: annie

then you get a discount!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:39am From: jimmy jezz

Europe, I was there once. It's over-rated, if you ask me. The people all talk funny.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:41am From: Joe Steele

Doesn't that booksotre have a card they punch everytime you do a broadcast from there? 5th one gets you a free copy of "Catcher in the Rye" or something.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:46am From: Parq

Jimmy, did you notice that too? And there are places, like something called Ireland, where people drive wrong to boot.

Mon. 6/15/09 10:48am From: Gizmo Duck

Play The Kinks

Mon. 6/15/09 10:50am From: Sébastien - Paris

For sure you will get a discount! and also be more than welcome

Mon. 6/15/09 10:52am From: bw

thanks Sébastien - I can't wait to stop by

Mon. 6/15/09 10:52am From: Eileen

We may drive on the wrong side of the road however we don't invade your cities in tartan trousers claiming that all of our ancestors "hail from here" :)

Mon. 6/15/09 10:52am From: Cecile

bw, can you plave some Chris Knox or Tall Dwarfs?

thanks...

Mon. 6/15/09 10:53am From: Sébastien - Paris

When do you go there? Some nice shows soon!

Mon. 6/15/09 10:55am From: bw

I am in copenhagen from the 22nd to the 29th and paris fromthe 29th to the 5th

Mon. 6/15/09 10:56am From: bw

Mon. 6/15/09 10:57am From: Cecile

Mon. 6/15/09 10:58am From: Cecile

Or we bleed love off fork songs

Mon. 6/15/09 10:59am From: PMD

Was in a meeting.
Re: FB names, I got my full name. Guess not too many Poles doing FB

Mon. 6/15/09 11:02am From: LizGig

Kirsty MacColl says 'In these shoes? I don't think so!'

Mon. 6/15/09 11:06am From: karao

robot monkey!!!

Mon. 6/15/09 11:11am From: Parq

Liz, did MacColl do that song too? I saw a stunning semi-live (live vox, taped instruments) version by Camile O'Sullivan that totally sold me on her.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:12am From: Scarlett O'Hara

And ruin a perfect dress?

Mon. 6/15/09 11:13am From: still b/p

Seven Year Itchfluence.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:14am From: Parq

@Eileen, 10:52: are you trying to tell me you don't think it's cute when I burst into your local pub with a kelly-green "Kiss Me I'm Irish" sweatshirt and holler "Schlitz, dude"?

Mon. 6/15/09 11:14am From: PMD

Oh, I like this Pterdactyl

Mon. 6/15/09 11:17am From: LizGig

So far as I know, Kirsty MacColl wrote it. It was on her last album, Tropical Brainstorm. Fun album.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:18am From: Eileen

Tell me where you can get a good Schlitz in Dublin and I'll be there!

Mon. 6/15/09 11:21am From: jimmy jezz

Hey this Walker Kid is playing some pretty good music - nice to here some music from a real city like philly.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:24am From: dc pat

don't blame me because all my ancestors hail from there...

Mon. 6/15/09 11:24am From: Parq

I don't understand what this singer is saying. Must be from Europe.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:24am From: annie

i think the lady in red should just take up ventriloquism. the hell with the get-up, and the bother to find a closet in which to change.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:25am From: The Log Lady

The comic panel for The Sapphires is broken, boo.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:28am From: Adrian in London

I always think that when trying to surrepticiously creep around a house at night,a bright read costume is the best disguise.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:29am From: Moody Blues

Red is grey, and yellow white.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:30am From: still b/p

"This increase of materials featuring brutality and violence is being offered to any child who has the 10-cent purchase price."
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8580/kefauver.html

Mon. 6/15/09 11:31am From: Joe Steele

When you're the sole guest in a house of maybe 3 people, no disguise will seem particularly smart.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:31am From: annie

i live for this moment, the liz-benjamen interaction

Mon. 6/15/09 11:34am From: jimmy jezz

Enough with the Europe, already - shouldn't they be plugging the morning show?

Mon. 6/15/09 11:34am From: krebstar

Jersey boy in Berlin listening whilst I work...

Mon. 6/15/09 11:35am From: Sébastien - Paris

Where and when are you going to DJ?

Mon. 6/15/09 11:36am From: ken

hey -- let us know about some french cartoonists while you're there. us american cartoonists want to know...

Mon. 6/15/09 11:39am From: Parq

I was in Paris in '00, but I remember that the comics scene there was as vibrant as the music scene. So yes, I second the request for Paris 'toonist info.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:42am From: konstantin

i lost my wallet while biking in brooklyn on saturday night and a guy named benjamin found it, googled my name, found my email, and met me to return it a few minutes later. how coincidental.

Mon. 6/15/09 11:45am From: Laughing Idiotically

HA-HA I say, twice!

Mon. 6/15/09 11:47am From: Violet

A-A-AGH!

Mon. 6/15/09 11:47am From: dc pat

nice touch with the Peanuts-style stars and circly lines over the Lady in Red

Mon. 6/15/09 11:48am From: annie
