Wed. 9/16/09 12:46pm dc pat:

I thought it was just 'sex'

Wed. 9/16/09 12:53pm Carmichael:

Synchro is more Devo than Devo themselves.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:05pm Cecile:

Wed. 9/16/09 1:25pm Cecile:

Wed. 9/16/09 1:28pm Carmichael:

Wed. 9/16/09 1:29pm maria:

;>)

Wed. 9/16/09 1:31pm Cecile:

you are TEH AWESOME
Nah, I've been on a jag since I heard Bret McKenzie's (FOTC) side project The Video Kid - very Scritti-ish. Also, the Yaz prompted that as well...!

Wed. 9/16/09 1:31pm Meghan:

Wed. 9/16/09 1:32pm dc ЮДt:

Wed. 9/16/09 1:33pm Cecile:

she is the best!

Wed. 9/16/09 1:37pm clueless in MI:

Beetles go to Bali

Wed. 9/16/09 1:38pm Carmichael:

BTW, I heard Simply Red yesterday after about 20 years. It was a time warp, like this Indo-Beatles tune.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:40pm Cecile:

Carm, I actually was able to download The Valentine Brothers' original Money$ Too Tight to Mention for free after some digging . great tune

Wed. 9/16/09 1:42pm annie:

it's interesting not actually interacting with the comments. i've been doing some work and haven't really been able to interject . but i love watching the comments anyway, and have all morning.. hello maria!!

Wed. 9/16/09 1:44pm Maria:

oh Cec= that's a cool find. hey all hey annie

Wed. 9/16/09 1:45pm Cecile:

I heard it twice on Detroit funk radio in the 80s and was never able to find a 12" or anything, and I looked for years. Thank you, Interwebs!

Wed. 9/16/09 1:45pm Carmichael:

Fshshsaaaww! That's the song I heard, Cecile. It was on some NPR style radio station as a break between financial stuff. Wow.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:45pm Cecile:

hiya, annie!

Wed. 9/16/09 1:47pm Carmichael:

Hi Annie. Don't forget to try my BBQ corn recipe I posted a few weeks back. And buy some floss, too.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:49pm Cecile:

I want to talk crap about "Red", but anyone who picks a Valentine Brothers song to cover gets a pass in my book.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:51pm annie:

right now, i'm actually playing... looking for a rye cracker recipe with no wheat.. maybe oat is ok..

Wed. 9/16/09 1:52pm Carmichael:

I hear ya. For a while, I was into them, the Communards and a few others. But I lost interest.

Wed. 9/16/09 1:58pm Cecile:

annie, you should be able to make pure rye crackers - have you tried looking up hardtack? There's also a Scandinavian name for it which eludes me.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:00pm Monetta:

I'm really enjoying the show today. Thanks!

Wed. 9/16/09 2:02pm annie:

great, i knew there was a name for it.. thanks cecile..... cool found one, thanks!! .

Wed. 9/16/09 2:03pm Cecile:

I grew up eating so much hardtack. LOVE it.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:04pm Monetta:

Also, just an FYI, the 13th item on your playlist is actually artist: Scenic, track: The Kelso Run.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:05pm dc pat:

I thought you had to be a pirate or 19th century sokdier to eat hardtack..

Wed. 9/16/09 2:06pm dc pat:

sokdier is Swedish for soldier.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:07pm annie:

aarrggh,,, i have pirate in me blood, too, don't ya know.. fred avery, famous pirate.. (or so i was told)...

Wed. 9/16/09 2:07pm ?:

ya

Wed. 9/16/09 2:07pm Cecile:

That or living in the Northern US among a large Scandinavian population.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:11pm dc pat:

we just have scoundrels in our family history..Irish castaways, hoodlums...I aim to change all that...

Wed. 9/16/09 2:14pm dc pat:

wait a minute annie--you don't mean Henry Avery do you?? He was a big shot and never got captured/killed

Wed. 9/16/09 2:17pm annie:

well, honestly not sure, i just googled frederick avery and got all sorts of responses and diff first names too.. so it might have been him.. i forget... it was long ago kitchen table dinner talk.. but we bragged on it enough.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:20pm dc pat:

well that's some cool lineage. Despite all the killin folks activity, the 17th century pirates were some of the most democratic/egalitarian people in history.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:22pm annie:

i have the geneology around somewhere, but we go way back to the mayflower, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's true

Wed. 9/16/09 2:25pm Cecile:

didn't pirates also invent barbeque?

Wed. 9/16/09 2:29pm dc pat:

is there anything they didn't invent?

Wed. 9/16/09 2:31pm clueless:

hygene?

Wed. 9/16/09 2:33pm annie:

body-piercing..?

Wed. 9/16/09 2:44pm doug in DC:

Pirates invented death metal. Note the similarity in vocal stylings. Aaaargh!

Wed. 9/16/09 2:46pm dc pat:

I thought dogs invented death metal..

Wed. 9/16/09 2:48pm Cecile:

No, parrots. Or the cookie monster.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:51pm Captain Kidd:

Leave me muther oot of this, ye hear!! arrgh

Wed. 9/16/09 2:52pm doug in DC:

No way, parrots are just imitators. They picked it up from the pirates.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:54pm Metal Pirate:

Aaargh! Avast Satan!

Wed. 9/16/09 2:55pm Parq:

Annie, they pierced a lot of bodies, mostly with swords, cutlasses and daggers.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:55pm Parq:

However, I think we can agree that they didn't invent free-form radio.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:56pm clueless in MI:

another Weds w/ Maria and as good if not better than last weeks.This could be habit forming

Wed. 9/16/09 2:57pm annie:

true parq, but that's cause they didn't have needles and ice! :0

Wed. 9/16/09 2:57pm Cecile:

oh man, I love this song.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:58pm dc pat:

same here, Cecile. 52's are great.

Wed. 9/16/09 2:59pm dc pat:

ricky wilson is one of the most influential guitarists no one cares about.

Wed. 9/16/09 3:01pm doug in DC:

Parq: haven't you heard of pirate radio?

Tue. 9/22/09 11:40am Pete in Columbus:
