Thu. 7/30/09 6:10am From: Chuck

Guten Morgan!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:11am From: Meghan

Guten Morgan Chuck!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:12am From: Chuck

I was wondering if The Throwing Muses were from Boston?

Thu. 7/30/09 6:13am From: Eric

I'm going to school in Boston in the fall. This will pump me up!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:13am From: Meghan

ACTUALLY they aren't... they are from Rhode Island.... which is unfortunate

Thu. 7/30/09 6:14am From: Meghan

Morning Eric.... going to BU? or BC or one of the other million schools up there

Thu. 7/30/09 6:16am From: Eric

Yes, BU, for communications. It will be my first time on the east coast!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:17am From: Meghan

Let me guess.... Warren Towers! Or the old HoJo's in Kenmore! You'll have a blast no matter

Thu. 7/30/09 6:17am From: Chuck

OK, I just wasn't sure... Unfortunate for this show only, still a great group no matter where they're from...

Thu. 7/30/09 6:19am From: Eric

I'll actually have my own off-campus deal since I'll be a grad student--even more fun??

Thu. 7/30/09 6:19am From: Chuck

My buddy Tom, who still lives in Boston went to BU... Got his masters in art from there...

Thu. 7/30/09 6:20am From: Meghan

Oh nice! Sweet deal! Have a blast no matter... it's fun

Thu. 7/30/09 6:23am From: Eric

Thanks and thanks for the show--couldn't have been more appropriate for me.

Thu. 7/30/09 6:27am From: Chuck

Morning Jeff! Is the "woofer" in attendance? If so, "ARF", Bosco!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:28am From: Meghan

No Bosco today.... we were lugging in a lot of vinyl to the studio....

Thu. 7/30/09 6:29am From: Chuck

This song makes me feel like someone dropped some mushrooms in my coffee...

Thu. 7/30/09 6:31am From: Meghan

join the club.....I pre warned you all!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:34am From: Chuck

Of course, I have this song in my collection too... I feel sooo stoned now!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:36am From: Eric

If the Muses don't count, does that also rule out Belly?

Thu. 7/30/09 6:37am From: Meghan

hehe.... welcome to the 60's/70's set....

Thu. 7/30/09 6:37am From: Meghan

Well.... it doesn't! They got together in Boston... so they DO count... funny eh?

Thu. 7/30/09 6:39am From: Chuck

Cool! Where are you fitting Belly in?

Thu. 7/30/09 6:42am From: Eric

I'm betting they got bumped for the Breeders...if the Breeders count.

Thu. 7/30/09 6:44am From: Chuck

I'd say they do... Meghan, what do you think?

Thu. 7/30/09 6:45am From: Meghan

You shall all see......

Thu. 7/30/09 6:47am From: Chuck

Ah, now we get mysterious!

Thu. 7/30/09 6:52am From: Meghan

Not mysterious... I am just trying to see for the end... sorry for the delay, lots of cueing going on.... hehe

Thu. 7/30/09 6:54am From: Chuck

That can happen with a truck load of vinyl... Been there...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:00am From: Meghan

Yep, that set and the upcoming hardcore set both are like that....

Thu. 7/30/09 7:04am From: Chuck

Reminds me that it's been a long time since I've been to Boston to see Tom & Scott... I should plan a trip just so Scott can have fun dyeing my hair purple again...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:05am From: Meghan

You should go up there soon... She always gives you good new music too...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:07am From: ?

Fingers crossed for one of the many Juliana Hatfield-related projects. Were there a lot of instances of having to just pick just one out of a lot of related bands?

Thu. 7/30/09 7:07am From: Chuck

Yes, she does! She's the one who hooked us up with Le Tigre! I should have asked if she had any ideas for this show... Doubtless there are new Boston artists she knows of that the rest of country is, as yet unaware...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:09am From: Eric

Oops, question mark was me.

Thu. 7/30/09 7:21am From: Chuck

Memory check... Were The Dickies from Boston? I can't remember now... It's too early in the day...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:22am From: Meghan

I actually don't have any Blake Babies or Julianna Hatfield.... sorry! Not sure about the Dickies Chuck...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:24am From: Chuck

Had I known I'd have sent you some Julianna, got 'em...

Thu. 7/30/09 7:25am From: Meghan

Awww, well next time, i feel like I could totally do another show of this....

Thu. 7/30/09 7:26am From: Chuck

Gotta love a theme that keeps on giving!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:32am From: Ken From Hyde Park

I heard you announce a couple of requests from me. Thanks, but I don't remember sending requests this week. I was just upstairs making sandwiches for lunch.

Thu. 7/30/09 7:32am From: David

Don't forget the Dogmatics!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:32am From: Chuck

Make some noise kids!!!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:37am From: Meghan

Oh wow Ken.... must have been another Ken.... wonder which one...now i have to check....

Thu. 7/30/09 7:46am From: Chuck

Well, anyone that isn't awake now needs to be buried... Thanks for the "Wakey, wakey!" Jeff!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:50am From: Meghan

I got Dogzilla coming up... but no Dogmatics... I will keep an eye out for them. I am missing a bunch of Boston music, so now I will have a little more time for research. Keep them coming!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:54am From: Jeff P

meghan! tom lehrer! nice!

Thu. 7/30/09 7:54am From: Eric

Maybe some Galaxie 500? Well, in another more appropriate set, maybe.

Thu. 7/30/09 7:56am From: jim

anybody remember Officer May? that would take me back to the collegiate years....

Thu. 7/30/09 7:56am From: Meghan

Hey Jeff! Of course Tom Lehrer! Too fun! And dontcha worry Eric, I ALWAYS play Galaxy 500....

Thu. 7/30/09 7:59am From: Meghan

I don't remember that at all..... what time period Jim? I will have to look it up..

Thu. 7/30/09 8:04am From: jim

late nineties-early naughties. they were on Ace Fu I think.

Thu. 7/30/09 8:04am From: Chuck

Any versions of "Dirty Water" in the line up?

Thu. 7/30/09 8:04am From: Meghan

Hells no! The Standells were from CA!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:05am From: jimbo

HOLY SHIT Bim Skala Bim?!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:07am From: David

Link to legendary Kenmore Square music club/dive the Rat: http://www.geocities.com/uridfm/r/rat1.htm. There was a 2-LP set with Boston bands back in the 80s

Thu. 7/30/09 8:07am From: Chuck

I didn't imply the Standells! There are many versions of that song... Prehaps an actual Boston group did the song, which is about Boston... Also your mic is too low...

Thu. 7/30/09 8:08am From: jim

but what would Mr. Butch play?

Thu. 7/30/09 8:08am From: David

PS. Rat is long gone, of course

Thu. 7/30/09 8:11am From: Chuck

Meg, I can barely hear you over your field recording... Turn up please...

Thu. 7/30/09 8:13am From: Meghan

Ohhh sorry!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:14am From: Chuck

Now I don't even know what the "News of the Weird" story was.... Couldn't hear it..

Thu. 7/30/09 8:15am From: Meghan

awww damn! I even turned it down too! look it up! http://newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html Last story!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:16am From: jeff p

Enema Man!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:17am From: Meghan

Exactly! Enemas of EVERYTHING!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:18am From: Jeff P

you're gonna have to face it - you're addicted to enemas.

Thu. 7/30/09 8:21am From: Meghan

Okay, Jeff and I are wondering if anyone remembers this song, if you didn't live in Boston....

Thu. 7/30/09 8:22am From: Eric

Does Mary Lou Lord still play the subway or did that end a long time ago?

Thu. 7/30/09 8:22am From: Chuck

Gotcha, I'll check it out later... Let's not get to fixated on bodily orifaces people... There's plenty of time left in the show...

Thu. 7/30/09 8:23am From: Meghan

I would have guessed it stopped, but it's been a while since i have rode the T

Thu. 7/30/09 8:24am From: Eric

Shoot. I think I missed out.

Thu. 7/30/09 8:25am From: David

Not sure about Mary Lou Lord. I used to see Mr. Airplane Man playing in Harvard Square about 8 or 9 years ago. Fun

Thu. 7/30/09 8:26am From: Chuck

Wow! I don't think I've ever heard this song and I'm LOVING it!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:27am From: ?

yeah, that's a good one

Thu. 7/30/09 8:27am From: Meghan

There was the crazy Jesus guy in the stop that transfered to the Red Line (Park maybe?) He had an amp and sang.... Also the creepy conductor on the Green Line.....

Yes Chuck, i LOVE the Cavedogs. We are now in all the stuff I listened to all the time

Thu. 7/30/09 8:30am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

The Underwater Theme Park has quickly become one of my favorite shows on WFMU. Another great turn at the whel, Meghan!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:30am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

wheel. d'oh.

Thu. 7/30/09 8:31am From: Chuck

Jeez, Meg! Why didn't you introduce me to these guys either? I feel left out now...

Thu. 7/30/09 8:32am From: Meghan

Awww Thanks Dum Dum! Sorry Chuck! consider yourself introduced!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:36am From: Lou

Awesome...haven't heard Gigolo Aunts in forever!

Thu. 7/30/09 8:36am From: Chuck
