Nice mood... Getting ready to go out, will be listening in the car, very mid 20th century of me...

Wed. 7/15/09 12:12pm BSI:

That Blues Control tune has been getting some fair exposure on FMU, and it gets better each time, somehow...... mas groovy.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:13pm Carmichael:

Hi Maria. Hi listeners.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:21pm Maria:

Hello Listeners

Wed. 7/15/09 12:23pm Dum Dum Guy from the Gates of Dawn:

Hello Maria!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:26pm Carmichael:

Flutes Rule!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:30pm Dave B in NYC:

Greets from NYC FMULanders!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:31pm doug in dc:

This playlist rules. I wanna track down some music from these Fonal Finns.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:32pm Dan B:

Delia Derbyshire? She's one of the people responsible for the haunting Doctor Who Theme.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:34pm Vicki:

yes, it was a British SciFi series. And many of those doing the music were from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (including Delia)

Wed. 7/15/09 12:35pm christine:

perfect wake and bake

Wed. 7/15/09 12:37pm CC:

I believe those weren't flutes, but mellotron from King Crimson chopped up.

Wed. 7/15/09 12:37pm Dan B:

Just curious if that's Vicki from Do or DIY chiming in. :-)

Wed. 7/15/09 12:38pm Vicki:

yesh

Wed. 7/15/09 12:40pm Dan B:

Ah, nice to meet you! I just started listening to Maria's show and your show this summer. i really like what I hear from both of you!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:41pm Vicki:

thanks - hope you can tune in later

Wed. 7/15/09 12:43pm Maria:

Thanks Vicki-- so much good stuff came out of that, it seems

Wed. 7/15/09 12:46pm Vicki:

it's worth checking out their album "BBC RAdiophonic Music" by the Radiophonic Workshop - I think it could be in the fmu mp3 library

Wed. 7/15/09 12:50pm Carmichael:

Well, OK. Mellotrons Rule!!

Wed. 7/15/09 12:52pm fishmonkeystew:

Hey Vicki, I'm going to be spending a week in London and a week in Scotland (around Edinburgh) starting at the end of October. Do you have any suggestions for weird and wacky places to visit?

Wed. 7/15/09 12:56pm Vicki:

for London - I recommend the Southbank Centre, Barbican, a Thames Boat trip, a trip to Hampton Court and Richmond/Richmond Park... er... see old London/Thames at Wapping, take the bus instead of the tube, and if you're around London for 5th November then it's Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes) all over the UK and you should go to Sussex (a county)... do a Google.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:17pm Vicki:

well that certainly shut you up

Wed. 7/15/09 1:26pm fishmonkeystew:

hehehe, I'm at work and trying to stay focused-sort of. Thanks for the sweet suggestions. And as it happens, I will be in London on Nov. 5th, leaving on the 6th. And that sounds like a blast. You rock, Vicki.

Off to google.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:26pm matt:

Does that mean Judith Chalmers is hosting tonight's Do or DIY?

Wed. 7/15/09 1:26pm Stanley:

Fishmonkeystew - I can give you a few good tips for Edinburgh, the wonderful city I call home. If you're still listening and interested I'll leave my email with Maria.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:29pm fishmonkeystew:

Stanley, that would be awesome! This whole trip started out for a friend's wedding at Gosfield Hall and developed into a 2 week jaunt. I thought that if I'm going (my first time) I better make it worth while.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:31pm Vicki:

Gosfield in Essex?
Concerning Bonfire Night - look up Lewes Bonfire Night. Early train journey/ticket buying recommended.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:32pm Parq:

Miss M- I am straightening up at home this PM, and not near the puter, but I wanted to pop in and say the show is superb, as always. So nice to have you on the air in the afternoon again.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:36pm fishmonkeystew:

Vicki- yep, Gosfield in Essex. Looks like a pretty impressive place, and we've got a room booked the night of the wedding.


Maria, thanks for the killer show. Good stuff.

Wed. 7/15/09 1:37pm Internet Addict:

Sleeping in the gutter, in front of the Starbucks, waiting for the coffee and the free wireless....

Timely article on a 'cure' for computer addiction in yesterday's Guardian:

Fishmonkey - cool! I have left my email with Maria if you want to drop her a line. I'm sure she won't mind. Get in touch - always willing to help a fellow FMU addict.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:05pm fishmonkeystew:

Thanks, Stanley. This trip is quickly looking like it is going to be the best yet. I can't wait.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:18pm Brian Sanders:

Hey Mr Stew, If you are in London visit Greenwich SW London the line where time is measured. You can also visit the Camera Obscura there. A wonderful device. Predates the camera. Great views of London.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:28pm fishmonkeystew:

Aw, yeah, the Camera Obscura! I'm so there! You guys rule! I knew that my fellow FMUers would have some good suggestions.

None of this is helping me concentrate on work. hehehe.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:31pm Brian S:

Oops. Make that SE London by Docklands Light Railway. Sterns in Warren Steet for any World music you may need. A walk along the South Bank & a ride on the London Eye. Enjoy.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:41pm Porky Pig:

Stop mocking me!

Wed. 7/15/09 2:45pm BSI:

So I turn my back for a minute (okay an hour or so) and missed another Moebius & Plank track from Rastakraut Pasta... this happened yesterday as well! There is no gawd!

Wed. 7/15/09 2:47pm Parq:

At the risk of sounding like a suck-up, and with apologies to ZCR, I like Miss Maria's H&M version better.

Wed. 7/15/09 2:48pm Maria:
