Wed. 8/19/09 12:19pm From: maria

Annie! put the speakers out the window- best of both worlds

Wed. 8/19/09 12:22pm From: Carmichael

Annie, with all the gardening you do, your place should like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Denise, that Tiny Tim song has been described as "Mr. Ed at a piano bar." That's why I like it so much.

Maria, this is the mellowest stuff I've ever heard. My blood pressure is down around 11 right now.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:24pm From: esch oder anarchie!

Is "Die listening Leuten" something like "Die Bart Die" (= the Bart, the)?

Wed. 8/19/09 12:25pm From: annie

carm, t'were it so. mostly i am weeding and wading through mud. today i am pulling any potatoes i might have left from the blight we had. the only thing that's happy out there are the carrots.. .. pretty sad year for this region,

Wed. 8/19/09 12:27pm From: bryce

Wed. 8/19/09 12:27pm From: annie

Wed. 8/19/09 12:28pm From: Carmichael

Wed. 8/19/09 12:28pm From: annie

Wed. 8/19/09 12:29pm From: clueless in MI

hold on, its the door

Wed. 8/19/09 12:31pm From: still b/p

dei x -- I'm going to Frantasia for the first time. Friend of mine lives in festival town and performs self-taught throat singing in Friday line-up. Can only imagine what else I'll hear.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:35pm From: mark

hello maria

Wed. 8/19/09 12:38pm From: mark

i'm currently growing some cress on some damp kitchen roll

Wed. 8/19/09 12:41pm From: jamesie

I am cooking chicken stuffed in gorgonzola warpped in bacon. Its Effric who wants us to eat the food combining diet. I cant eat cress tonight.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:44pm From: jeremy the listener

naked biker chicks in the desert meeting up with aliens? awesome.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:48pm From: still b/p

"naked biker chicks in the desert meeting up with aliens"
GNFAB? No, but a good movie pitch or good take on a Rorschach blot.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:50pm From: dc pat

I've got 35 tomatoes on 3 plants in pots on my deck. The cat birds have stopped attacking them. My cat has started eating (killing anyway) rats again.

Wed. 8/19/09 12:54pm From: boris

anyone from dc here who saw Love at the velvet lounge last night?

Wed. 8/19/09 12:59pm From: clueless

my doorbell IS that one

Wed. 8/19/09 12:59pm From: dc pat

ho jeeze, Love? What ever Love is now breaks my "half rule" -- if over half of the band is either dead or not in the band anymore, it's a different band.

Wed. 8/19/09 1:00pm From: amy

I was wondering the same. Especially after reading that article in the Post detailing how badly the tour is going.

Wed. 8/19/09 1:00pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Modern doorbells can be programmed to play individual .mp3 files keyed to the button presser's fingerprint.

Wed. 8/19/09 1:00pm From: dc pat

not that Johnny Echols isn't cool, but...let's call it "the Johnny Echols Four" or something

Wed. 8/19/09 1:02pm From: boris

i agree with the half rule. esp now that arthur lee isn't with them anymore.

Wed. 8/19/09 1:05pm From: dummy

How about "Like"

Wed. 8/19/09 1:10pm From: boris

music that melts my ears

Wed. 8/19/09 1:10pm From: jon

owwww I like this Textile stuff.

Wed. 8/19/09 1:11pm From: dc pat

the half rule is tricky because some members add up to more than one member...

Wed. 8/19/09 1:35pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

"scaring the coworkers"
sounds good!!

Wed. 8/19/09 1:38pm From: dc pat

this tune RULES!!

Wed. 8/19/09 1:38pm From: annie

pat, you rock!! imagine all the tomato sauce you will be consuming this coming year!! have just now harvested about 5 pounds of fingerlings.. should be thrice as much.. and the other potatoes i planted have rotted.. i'm sad.. yet!!! i am here and listening to maria! and plan to pour myself a nice cold ice glass of water into which i will combine absinthe!! perfect for the humidity today!

Wed. 8/19/09 1:39pm From: boris

dv/nova was real nice last night after the rain

Wed. 8/19/09 1:46pm From: annie

our rain came through last night during the last five minutes of a pretty good movie on hulu.. stupid puter shut off three times..

Wed. 8/19/09 1:50pm From: dc pat

right on, annie. I prefer to eat them right off the vine but might be too much to handle..absinthe, eh??

Wed. 8/19/09 1:52pm From: annie

yes absinthe, there ia a brewery right near me.. she makes the best... google "meadow of love" or "walton waters" my fave is meadow of love. she uses diff herbs for each.. just wonderful!

Wed. 8/19/09 1:59pm From: Parq

Enjoying local brewing is getting to be one of the best reasons to travel. We went out of our way to sample local micro-brews and wines when we were on out trip this summer.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:06pm From: annie

long ago, back in the late 70s, when i was living in eugene. there was a great beer called "henry weinhart's private reserve" it was fantastic.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:11pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

For Patrick Hand's next trick, he is going to promote a tour of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:19pm From: Daevid

Really dug the Gui Boratto stuff. Now trying to track down the vinyl!

Wed. 8/19/09 2:20pm From: Carmichael

re: Boris @ 12:54, who is touring as Love? 3 of them are dead. Are Eliott Easton and Jerry Corbetta sittin' in?

Wed. 8/19/09 2:22pm From: Carmichael

Parq, I did the same thing. The Great Basin Brewing Co. in Reno has an IPA that's to die for.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:24pm From: doug from DC

Carm: arrgh, I missed the Love gig last night. My sched is thrown off since I went out of town and took Monday off. Love, in this incarnation, is original guitarist Johnny Echols, w/Baby Lemonade, who backed Arthur Lee in 1994, backing Echols on this tour.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:24pm From: annie

oh, carm. just thought you'd want to know cecile is taking a couple days off.. she might be around ..

Wed. 8/19/09 2:27pm From: no one in particular

@annie: weinhart's was still available in frisco as late as the 90s. I agree, it's a fine brew, not as good as Sleeman No. 20 Ale tho'

Wed. 8/19/09 2:28pm From: doug from DC

Gui is pronounced like ghee, the shortening from India. It was great to hear the Boratto tracks while walking around town at lunch. Digging the new WFMU iPhone app.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:29pm From: annie

i was pleasantly surprised to see that it had reached as far east as denver.. we have a small deli in oneonta that specializes in those micro brews.. an amazing collection.. i love beer, miss it badly,

Wed. 8/19/09 2:29pm From: Carmichael

OK Annie. I thought I would harass Ken in her absence.

Doug, I don't know how to feel about that Love incarnation. I'd say it's a real stretch, honestly.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:30pm From: no one in particular

...wonders what places Maria visited while in Montreal (I used to live there)

Wed. 8/19/09 2:32pm From: Whooo!

Yeah!

Wed. 8/19/09 2:33pm From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Re Love: Is that like Ringo Starr going on the Road and calling himself The Beatles?

Wed. 8/19/09 2:35pm From: Carmichael

Annie, Henry Weinhard's used to be pretty darn good, until they sold out to Pabst around 1980. Sadly, they're just another Miller brand these days.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:37pm From: annie

that would 'splain why they hit denver.. :(

Wed. 8/19/09 2:39pm From: maria

NOIP-- I went for a wedding sothat was most of the activity, also riding our bicycles around the Mont Royal neighborhood, and down to the waterfront. NICE city!

Wed. 8/19/09 2:41pm From: doug from DC

According to the guy putting on the show, "Love" was supposed to play songs from the first three albums "in a suitably rocking manner." But it does sound like a tribute band.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:45pm From: annie

maria, who do i have to shell out the payola to in order to keep you on this time slot??

Wed. 8/19/09 2:47pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I third annie's comment, Maria.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:49pm From: maria

\i/

Wed. 8/19/09 2:50pm From: annie

hmm.. looks like we have to feed the kitty... ok.

Wed. 8/19/09 2:53pm From: Parq

Dum, "Ringo" analogy is perfect. What if Joey Covington got himself a fairly decent guitar-bass pair and went out on the road calling it Hot Tuna?
