You could probably get about 15 punk songs in a set! They're all so short... but cool!

Thu. 9/3/09 6:35am From: Meghan

Brian Turner did a 7" show where I think he played something like 72 songs in 3 hours...

Thu. 9/3/09 6:36am From: Chuck

Ha! "So what do you want to hear, Innagodadavita, or 30 Ramones song"... Ha!

Thu. 9/3/09 6:40am From: Meghan

Thu. 9/3/09 6:41am From: Chuck

Cool... My band used to play this song...

Thu. 9/3/09 6:43am From: Chuck

They passed and will move ahead to the end of the show... hehe

Thu. 9/3/09 6:48am From: DBinNYC

Thu. 9/3/09 6:58am From: Ken From Hyde Park

Hi...remember the cat theme show and The Cat Came Back was unavailable? I was on vacation visiting my dear mother last week and I heard something familiar on the TV. My kids had the Noggin channel on and there was a kid-friendly version of that song. What a ripper! The guys at Google tell me Laurie Berkner was the artist.

Thu. 9/3/09 6:59am From: Meghan

Morning Ken! There are a bunch of versions of that song.... I remember one that had a cartoon that was really funny! Hmmmm I found it recently too.... lemme find that...

Thu. 9/3/09 7:00am From: Chuck

Woah! Is a threefer about to happen?!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:01am From: Meghan

Thu. 9/3/09 7:04am From: Arthur, The Bitter Old Man

I know it probably to late, but how about "Dirty Old Man" by The Fugs? "Hanging out at the school yard gate, looking up every dress I can"

Thu. 9/3/09 7:05am From: Meghan

hehe... morning Bitter Arthur! Can we change that to dirty old man too while we are at it? No Fugs.... sorry!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:09am From: Chuck

Thu. 9/3/09 7:30am From: mr. miraculous

Thu. 9/3/09 7:33am From: miraculous

"take home-a diploma," that's some next level sh*t

Thu. 9/3/09 7:33am From: Meghan

Good Morning Parq! Glad you could join us!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:34am From: Parq

Hah! I had a feeling this Alice was gonna be the first track I heard whenI tuned in.

Thu. 9/3/09 7:34am From: miraculous

dazed and confused rules

Thu. 9/3/09 7:35am From: Meghan

hehe..... you been cheating Parq? Get the teacher's notes ahead of time?

Thu. 9/3/09 7:37am From: Chuck

Maybe Parq went dumpster diving for the mimeograph of the test like in "Animal House"! Ha!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:38am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Morning all! Meghan remember, blessed are the cheese makers.

Thu. 9/3/09 7:39am From: Meghan

Dum Dum! I was getting worried! Glad you made it!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:47am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

My high school had a designated smoking area. That just about sums up how old I am. Ha!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:49am From: Meghan

Mine DID, but got rid of it my sophomore year... it was by the woodshop and autobody shop.... before they got rid of BOTH of those.

Thu. 9/3/09 7:54am From: Chuck

Rock 'n' Roll High School, great song, horrible film! Film could turn into a cult classic though...

Thu. 9/3/09 7:55am From: DBinNYC

thanks for the 'suckers track!

Thu. 9/3/09 7:55am From: stingy d

yes yes yes! i just want my taco bell too !!!!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:00am From: Meghan

Morning Stingy!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:02am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Noah's cool. A year or two ago I was wearing my WFMU shirt in a Whole Foods in Arlington, VA and I was stopped by a fellow stocking the meat shelf who asked me if I ever listened to Noah on WFMU. Turns out he was a friend of Noah. True story. It is a small world and WFMU is everywhere.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:03am From: Meghan

Wow! that is crazy! It's such a small world! And yes, he is a super nice guy!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:05am From: Chuck

I once ran into a guy that one of my sisters dated in high school in the train station in Friedburg, Germany! The planet is smaller than you think!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:07am From: Meghan

Wow! that is SMALL! I wander around NYC and always wonder if I will run into someone and don't.... go to Puerto Rico installing a sculpture for Tom Otterness and run into an old Tallix employee on vacation....

Thu. 9/3/09 8:07am From: stingy d

hi meghan! and yea i also have some loose ties to noah. some friends of mine used to share an aprtment with him. in fort greene.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:11am From: stingy d

and lastly i wish you could play the ol dirty bastard song about school. it's perhaps a little too dirty.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:13am From: Meghan

Well, having one of the Wu Tang was a good replacement....

Thu. 9/3/09 8:14am From: stingy d

no complaints outta me! whats up tho: i'm drinking coffee, and the biscuits are baking!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:17am From: stingy d

MY DOG IS HOLDING THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!!!!!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:18am From: Chuck

Thu. 9/3/09 8:23am From: Meghan

Thu. 9/3/09 8:28am From: jeff p

B,S,W,D! Nice!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:31am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkel
Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground
Sister Ray - Velvet Underground
Sally Can't Dance - The Velvet Underground
Janie Jones - The Clash

Thu. 9/3/09 8:32am From: jeff p

867-5309
hey paula
zach and sarah (ben foldes)

Thu. 9/3/09 8:33am From: Meghan

That is what makes it a good theme.... I can always go back to it and do it again and again and again.....

Thu. 9/3/09 8:35am From: Bad Ronald

Don't forget Nick Lowe's "Marie Provost"

Thu. 9/3/09 8:36am From: Meghan

I will write all these down! Want to make sure your stuff gets played!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:37am From: Chuck

I think I'm gonna bow out of the women's name theme... I know that you'll come up with so many songs that it'll become overhelming! Don't need to add my confusion to making decisions...

Thu. 9/3/09 8:37am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

What would be a true challenge and take this show to the next level would be a theme in which all of the songs have the same title, whether it actually be the same song or a different song with the same title. Kenny G would weep openly that he did not think of it first.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:38am From: B. Gates

You don't need to write them down - just copy and paste!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:39am From: Meghan

Actually Dum Dum.... I DO have a show coming up that is like that.... It's all songs about Stagger Lee.....

Thu. 9/3/09 8:40am From: Chuck

Hey! I have the Just Can't Get Enough collection, all 15 volumes. God I love that stuff!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:40am From: Meghan

and Mr Gates.... i have a notebook of songs... so copy paste won't work too well for me.... fancy technology man.... hehe

Thu. 9/3/09 8:41am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Very cool. You are way ahead of me, as usual.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:42am From: Meghan

I have plans and plans and plans.... it's bad.... number theme where I try to make each track match the song.... like number one has to have One in it.... Trying to pull a show together of songs about each state.... stuff like that...

Thu. 9/3/09 8:45am From: jeff p

"Furniture"

Thu. 9/3/09 8:45am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

How about a show based upon the playing times of the songs? Each song exactly one second longer than the song that precedes it. Too esoteric?

Thu. 9/3/09 8:47am From: Meghan

Now that is some Kenny G stuff there! Like the last recording period for the RIAA where he didn't have to record the name of any song under 30 seconds... so he played all his one second, two second, three second, etc. songs

Thu. 9/3/09 8:47am From: jeff p

"88 lines about 44 women" by The Nails

Thu. 9/3/09 8:48am From: meghan

now does that fall under 88 or 44..... hehe.... the Nails are great

Thu. 9/3/09 8:48am From: miraculous

the song length idea is strong

Thu. 9/3/09 8:50am From: Chuck

Take it easy folks! Let's not bombard the woman with too many new things when there are still shows in the works!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:50am From: jeff p

I was thinking your "girls" list

Thu. 9/3/09 8:50am From: jeff p

It's too late, chuck! The floodgates are open!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:51am From: Meghan

hehe.... thanks everyone! Yeah, let's worry about me being ABLE to do more shows first! Only so many left until the fall schedule!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:52am From: Meghan

Oh true jeff! All the women's names in there.... good suggestion!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:52am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

If he doesn't play ball, I'll get Ken's home phone number and set the robo-caller on overdrive. The man will get no sleep, I promise you that.

Thu. 9/3/09 8:53am From: messica

sweet show dude!

Thu. 9/3/09 8:55am From: jeff p

isn't "women's names" two words?

Thu. 9/3/09 8:57am From: Meghan

hehe... Thanks Everyone!

Sun. 9/6/09 12:29am From: Ben

It might be a little late, but here are a few ideas for your doctor show.
*The Who--Doctor Doctor
*The Thompson Twins--Doctor Doctor (different song from the Who)
*The Beatles--Doctor Robert
*Steve Martin--Dentist (from Little Shop of Horrors)
*The Velvet Underground--Lady Godiva's Operation
*Steely Dan--Doctor Wu
You're doing great. I hope you're on the fall schedule.
