TD's sounding really good. Any news about Knox?

Thu. 6/18/09 3:06pm esch oder anarchie!:

Love tall Dwarves but saw Know live once and hated him. What's up with that?

Thu. 6/18/09 3:07pm Marshall Stacks:

Thanks for the nice Dwarvish opener, Wm.!

Thu. 6/18/09 3:08pm Jed:

Rise, William, Rise!

Thu. 6/18/09 3:09pm esch oder anarchie!:

Ouch! -- I retract the neg on Knox. Hope he's recovering and comes back to play more shows to prove my earlier self a clueless doofus.

Thu. 6/18/09 3:22pm Wendy del Formaggio:

*tap tap* is this thing on?

Thu. 6/18/09 3:28pm Wm.:

What're you trying to say, Wendy? Do I sound awkward on mic?? Too sober, I guess....

Thu. 6/18/09 3:31pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Oy vey, Wm. No such thing! I had tried to post a comment before and it never appeared. I bet I hit "cancel" instead of "post" and that's why, so I was simply testing the equipment.
You need some cheese.

Thu. 6/18/09 3:32pm Wm.:

But I AM awkward...terribly awkward UM ERR AH

Thu. 6/18/09 3:35pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Well I must be awkwarder (highly likely) because I didn't notice. DURRRR...

Thu. 6/18/09 3:37pm Wm.:

I DO need cheese! And some VERY moldy rye bread.

Thu. 6/18/09 3:38pm Wm.:

...so I can be more awkwarderer

Thu. 6/18/09 3:40pm Ralph Kramden:

homina-homina-homina-homina...

Thu. 6/18/09 3:42pm esch oder anarchie!:

What is this, some kinda twofer?

Thu. 6/18/09 3:43pm just a guy in a chair in a cube:

Awkwarder sounds like it shouldn't be a word, but it apparently is. It's an adjective but I feel like it would be a good a title, like "I am The Awkwarder! Feel my wrath and look around self consciously!"

Thu. 6/18/09 3:44pm Wm.:

It's a 15-fer.

Thu. 6/18/09 3:44pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Cheese I got, maybe 4 or 5 kinds in the house right now. But I'm one of those weirdos who actually throws away her moldy bread. Can't help you there.
But if it's acid you want...
Just kidding. i wish.

Thu. 6/18/09 3:45pm BSI:

ABSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

Thu. 6/18/09 3:46pm Jed:

DARK TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thu. 6/18/09 3:57pm Jed:

Akitsa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thu. 6/18/09 3:58pm SF spike:

Tuning in from my corporate salt mine. Now I'm officially bummed I skipped Absu - damn my crazy landlady to the bottomless pits of hell!

Thu. 6/18/09 4:00pm Jed (The Other Kind):

Thu. 6/18/09 4:03pm Wm.:

Hey Spikey Mike...it was great seeing you! Thanks for hanging out.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:04pm Jed:

Hi Wm

Thu. 6/18/09 4:06pm paulc:

my flatmate thinks Akitsa are shite...I don't think much either..all the best from UK!

Thu. 6/18/09 4:07pm Ike:

Although my constitution is not steely enough for any black metal today, you have to love labels with names like Christhunt Productions and Nuclear War Now! Heh.

Mmm, cheese. What kinds?

Thu. 6/18/09 4:07pm Jed:

my flatmate is dead because he insulted Little River Band

Thu. 6/18/09 4:10pm paulc:

play little river band, keep jed from killing flatmates. it can get expensive living on your own...little river band..who??

Thu. 6/18/09 4:13pm tramshed:

I am looking forward to the summer schedule.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:13pm Wm.:

The day I play LRB is the day I blow all the guys in Akitsa--maybe tomorrow.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:14pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Ike, I have some raw-milk cheddar made from the milk of cows grazing in Hunterdon County (NJ); the cheese itselfy is made in Berks Co., PA. Then I have some plain ol' fresh chevre from The Cheese Guy Co. (freebie I got at work), very good. I have some Italian Grana Padano Riserva for grating etc. Nevat (sheep) made by Josep Cuixart in Spain. Vallee d'Aspe Brebis (Ossau-Iraty) from the French Pyrenees. And some Cabot Clothbound Cheddar aged in the cellars at Jasper Hill (VT). I think that's it.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:15pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Wm., make sure you get some pictures.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:16pm tramshed:

Holy shit, I love this Diamatregon stuffs, is it still purchasable?

Thu. 6/18/09 4:19pm Wm.:

the Diamatregon is a new CD

Thu. 6/18/09 4:20pm tramshed:

Nice, thank you.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:20pm tramshed:

Also, woot, 420

Thu. 6/18/09 4:22pm BearJaw:

High!

Thu. 6/18/09 4:24pm Art Smass:

This music will kill any rye mold exposed to it on contact. (Ergot, you got?)

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:25pm Jed:

that's funny because they asked about your oral talent

Thu. 6/18/09 4:32pm Jed:

Little River Band did an LP of metal in 1978, very rare, they cover NIB.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:40pm Jed:

Pink Floyd is named after LRB's miniature pony

Thu. 6/18/09 4:41pm doug from dc:

That LRB album had the metal version of Lady, right?

Thu. 6/18/09 4:42pm Jed:

Little River band is an anagram of Blander Liver Tit

Thu. 6/18/09 4:44pm Jed:

Wm hates me because my cell phone plays "Reminiscing"

Thu. 6/18/09 4:46pm Wm.:

Yeah Jed, THAT'S why.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:54pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Jed, I'm sure that's the one and only reason.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:56pm doug from dc:

Excellent track from Robedoor and the album title sounds appropriate, too.

Thu. 6/18/09 4:57pm jutty:

i liked that

Thu. 6/18/09 4:57pm Ike:

I agree with Doug from DC.

Wendy, those cheeses sound great. What's the Nevat like?

Thu. 6/18/09 4:58pm Wm.:

Robedoor are amazing...I only hope they will visit WFMU soon...hopefully on my show.

Thu. 6/18/09 5:00pm Wm.:

More info on Robedoor .. you can buy their stuff from fusetron sound, and others:

Thu. 6/18/09 5:01pm slugluv1313:

hello Mr. Wm. Berger!!!!!! how lovely to hear you on WFMU again! i am stuck home sick on this dreary day (altho'-i-kinda-like-dismal-days) and what you have been playing sure helps me to feel better!

even tho' i am bummed that Mr. FABIO will not be on, i AM happy to hear that you will be having a regular show in the summer too, woo hoo!

Thu. 6/18/09 5:03pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Yeah, I'm submitting another vote for Robedoor. And this Sylvester Anfang II is pretty kickass, too. perfect soundtrack for the day.

Ike, I only bring home great cheese! nevat looks sort of like a big cloud of a cheese, prob about 3 kilos or so. Fluffy white outside (that would be penicillium candidum, aka "bloomy rind"), inside is fairly soft but a little flaky, too. just beneath the rind sometimes it has a creamy texture. it tastes on the mild side, earthy, mushroomy, a little grassy from the sheep milk and the bloomy rind.

Thu. 6/18/09 5:04pm Wm.:

Wendy, I just drooled all over the console....

Thu. 6/18/09 5:04pm doug from dc:

thanks Wm., I'm checking out the not not fun site. I sometimes play cello through massive distortion/amplification, and when I heard about Robedoor doing this, I started to check out whatever I could find in the FMU archives, youtube, etc.

Thu. 6/18/09 5:07pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Oh gee, Wm., I'm so "sorry."

Thu. 6/18/09 5:22pm Chris:

Whoever is doing vocals in this Corrupted track should get a medal!

Thu. 6/18/09 5:22pm Marshall Stacks:

Is it Amanda?

Thu. 6/18/09 5:25pm Peteski:

whatever happened to Bill?

Thu. 6/18/09 5:25pm Wm.:

Corrupted, from Japan:

Thu. 6/18/09 5:28pm whitewayersky:

current song is awesome. instrumental.

who is it?

Thu. 6/18/09 5:29pm Jed:

Wm - do you hate me because I made you listen to Tourettes?

Thu. 6/18/09 5:31pm Wm.:

That song was by Wildildlife...not an instrumental, just from a crap cassette

Thu. 6/18/09 5:31pm whitewatersky:

oh, i see....
Wildildlife ?

Tourettes - their singer was jumping on stage with Hard-Ons for Suck n Swallow every show for a while there back about 6 years ago. we used to watch em seems like every month back then

Thu. 6/18/09 5:31pm doug from dc:

checking out now. this was an awesome show and i'm looking forward to hearing you in your new timeslot.

Thu. 6/18/09 5:31pm Wm.:

Jed, I hate you because you're beautiful.

Thu. 6/18/09 5:33pm Jed:
