Wed. 8/19/09 12:10pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Wed. 8/19/09 12:17pm annie:

hhmm.. i knew this would happen, i really have to get outside and get some garden work done.. and i am sucked in to radio-nation..ah. well... i can wait.. nice tunes maria!

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

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

Wed. 8/19/09 12:22pm 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 esch oder anarchie!:

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

Wed. 8/19/09 12:25pm 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 bryce:

BLAVORTSKY!

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

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

FRAU BLUCHER!!

Off to a meeting. See yous later.

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

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

hold on, its the door

Wed. 8/19/09 12:31pm 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 mark:

hello maria

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

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

Wed. 8/19/09 12:41pm 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 jeremy the listener:

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

Wed. 8/19/09 12:48pm 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 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 boris:

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

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

my doorbell IS that one

Wed. 8/19/09 12:59pm 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 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 AnAnonymousParty:

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

Wed. 8/19/09 1:00pm 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 boris:

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

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

How about "Like"

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

music that melts my ears

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

owwww I like this Textile stuff.

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

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

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

"scaring the coworkers"
sounds good!!

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

this tune RULES!!

Wed. 8/19/09 1:38pm 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 boris:

dv/nova was real nice last night after the rain

Wed. 8/19/09 1:46pm 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 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 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 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 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 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 Daevid:

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

Wed. 8/19/09 2:20pm 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 no one in particular:

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

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

Yeah!

Wed. 8/19/09 2:33pm 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 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 annie:

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

Wed. 8/19/09 2:39pm 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 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 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 Denise in Washington, DC:

I third annie's comment, Maria.

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

\i/
;>)
/I\

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

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

Wed. 8/19/09 2:53pm 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?
