Mon. 7/27/09 6:12am Vicki:

Mon. 7/27/09 6:18am Tom [G] in Dub:

Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Mon. 7/27/09 6:19am mike:

Smart Tom! The day just got a whole lot better.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:22am marion:

new to this show. was plastering the hole in the wall. came back to the computer to see what was that sudden change of atmosphere in the house all about.
fun stuff you're playing here.
good morning.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:25am mike:

Thanks, Marion. Good morning to you too. I will try to think of something plaster-appropriate to play shortly!

Mon. 7/27/09 6:29am Vicki:

How about the White Stripes. Probably not Whitehouse though, eh Mike?

Mon. 7/27/09 6:31am marion:

yeah, or something perseverance-enhancing.
plaster got hard too fast, got to start all over again.
glad my tidbits give you a DJ challenge.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:32am mike:

NEVER CHALLENGE THE DJ, VICKI

Mon. 7/27/09 6:34am mike:

Nobody here wants to hear "Plaster Caster", I'm going to assume. I know I don't!

Mon. 7/27/09 6:34am Vicki:

The Green Door then :)

Mon. 7/27/09 6:38am Tom [G] in Dub:

I've done a lot of plastering, I'll handle this. Marion, can you see the red button that says "Balance Underride"? Good. Now don't press that whatever else happens. Now you're going to need some duct tape to close the alligator's mouth and some 10WD40 for the carburator. Got it? Good. Now slowly tilt your head back making sure you don't spill any grenadine on your shirt. Then just turn the wheel towards justice and sit back and wait for a strong westerly wind.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:48am marion:

Brenda Khan! now you sold me!
guess i'll be tuning in on monday mornings now
;)

Mon. 7/27/09 6:50am mike:

So the lesson here: The dual powers of plastering tips and obscure 80s anti-folk artists = proven audience building technique. ONWARD.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:56am Joshua K:

I thought for a second this boss hog song was a devo cover before the vocals started.

Mon. 7/27/09 6:58am Tom [G] in Dub:

@ Marion: What a relief! I haven't plastered since OJ was big.

Mon. 7/27/09 8:01am marion:

plastering done, room clean, hello painter's tape!
loving this monday morning soundtrack !

Mon. 7/27/09 8:34am Tom [G] in Dub:

Dude, you are on fire! And in spite of that, the pain, the screaming, you manage to consistently, even relentlessly, raise the bar. I'm not kidding, that Deano made me move in my swivel chair. I usually go the whole week without moving. They don't really encourage us to move.

Mon. 7/27/09 8:36am Irwin:

Woooo-wooooooo!!!! First comment after 8:36!

Mon. 7/27/09 8:40am mike:

Thanks, Tom. Would you believe that this is the first radio show I've ever done which I am NOT prepared for with my massive arsenal of swivelchair songs?

Also, Irwin: I played that record you gave me five years ago at the top of the show. Why did you give me that again?

Mon. 7/27/09 8:47am Irwin:

Girl Hunt Ballet -- because of it's noir aura. Score for terrific Astaire & Cyd Charisse choreography in the film Band Wagon.

Mon. 7/27/09 8:49am mike:

Ahh, yes. Now I remember. Speaking of noir auras, did you ever read that Pelecanos book I gave you?

Mon. 7/27/09 8:51am Irwin:

Actually the occasion I gave it to you was the FMU rec fair. We each decided to buy the other a recommended album. I gave you that MGM collection, and five years later you gave me the BellRays' Grand Fury.

Mon. 7/27/09 8:55am Irwin:

The Pelecanos book is on my nightstand, as yet unread. Got out of the habit of reading before bedtime. Now I just collapse with exhaustion and put the brain to sleep.
