I'm an American that just moved to the island of Jersey in January. This island rocks. It's beautiful, peaceful, a really tranquil place to live. You can drive by an amazing farmland and then run into spectacular coastline five minutes later. I lived in manhattan for 14 years before this, and the island of Jersey is definitely a welcome change of pace after 14 years of Manhattan.

Fri. 10/2/09 9:31am From: Wade

LOVES VELOFAX!

Fri. 10/2/09 9:35am From: Parq

Do Jersey cows listen to Frankie Valli and say "fuggedaboudit"?

Fri. 10/2/09 9:41am From: Baba

I think that's "cryogenics."

Fri. 10/2/09 9:47am From: dragonflyshards

Billyjams, methinks a live broadcast of you milking a cow would fit in nicely with Michael Shelly's show.

Fri. 10/2/09 9:47am From: fishmonkeystew

Um, did anyone else just lose the stream?

Fri. 10/2/09 9:47am From: annie

I highly recommend one of these :: -- http://www.magnumdynalab.com/x_sr100.htm on your FM antenna outputs.... but for any other "streaming" problems I do not recommend .....

Fri. 10/2/09 10:01am From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

Working for me too, but VLC asked me for a username and password. I hit cancel and the stream stayed up anyway. Ahhhhh. Much better.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:22am From: Cecile

You know, a crown dependency sounds like a better deal than a American protectorate or territory.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:25am From: GP

Good afternoon/morning Mr. Jam - Great to hear you on the radio again and also to learn about some Channel Island history. - Hurry back soon to FMU we miss you.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:31am From: fishmonkeystew

MS Player stream is working again, for the rest of you who are stuck using it at work, like me.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:40am From: Carmichael

Well well, Hiya Billy!!

Fri. 10/2/09 10:40am From: Ken

Fri. 10/2/09 10:50am From: David Lee Roth

BILLY! at 32kps!

Fri. 10/2/09 10:52am From: fishmonkeystew

Go SKA!

Fri. 10/2/09 10:55am From: Cecile

I think it was because the writers and programmers were so gun-ho on people in the US not "getting" ska. When pretty much anyone who saw a ska show or heard the Specials or Desmond Dekker was hooked

Fri. 10/2/09 10:55am From: Cecile

yay Natty Bo!

Fri. 10/2/09 10:56am From: Jenn

Shout out from NYC.
Beautiful accapella voice.
You've got to ska ska ska!
Love the accent.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:56am From: nasok

ska was huge in local american scenes, but without commercial radio support it never attained true culture-wide acceptance. if i remember correctly it was when clear channel started buying everything up and turning all radio stations into classic rock format. early 90s?

Fri. 10/2/09 10:58am From: [-__-]

i beeive he might be referring to Ska's popularity in the 60's in England, etc

Fri. 10/2/09 10:59am From: Cecile

I think the current youth see it as a big niche, like Goth. And it's certainly worked its way into a lot of rock music.

And I myself was talking about ska in the US in the late 70s.

Fri. 10/2/09 10:59am From: Ike

Great to hear you back on the air again, Billy! BTW, way back at 9:07, I was listening on FM and the background/bed music sounded good and I could hear the vocals fine even before you turned them up and killed the bed.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:00am From: Parq

I don't remember first-wave ska getting played in the US. By the time second wave broke in '79, Peter Tosh, Johhny Nash and Desmond Dekker all had top-40 hits -- Dekker's in the 60s.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:02am From: GP

Ha ha. I though for a second you said the "Blancmange" film festival...had to go back up and look at the real name.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:02am From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

nuffin like the Tea and a Biccy

Fri. 10/2/09 11:05am From: Cecile

Britfilm:
Ealing Studio Films!

And what's up with Bill Forsythe? He hasn't made a good film in 20 years.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:05am From: Ike

Tea! Tea! Tea!

Fri. 10/2/09 11:06am From: Tom ( The Bactrian Support Network )

.... But I'll pass on those Jellied eels ty ....

Fri. 10/2/09 11:07am From: Jenn

Cucumber sandwiches?

Fri. 10/2/09 11:08am From: Cecile

I do like a good eel roll at the sushi bar

Fri. 10/2/09 11:10am From: Cecile

YAY Billy Jam singing!

Fri. 10/2/09 11:11am From: Jenn

YAY! Thanks for mentioning KOOKUMBER sandwiches Billy!

Save me one.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:21am From: Jenn

Prodigy! Lovely song Isaac.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:22am From: GP

A round of Marmite for everyone!

Fri. 10/2/09 11:23am From: GP

Fri. 10/2/09 11:24am From: Cecile

Is that Ray Jay?

Fri. 10/2/09 11:34am From: Parq

I'm with him -- "Some/Hot" is a killer.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:35am From: Carew

How come everybody from Jersey has an English sounding accent?

Fri. 10/2/09 11:36am From: Cecile

Parq, I love that movie.
And the curator is awesome!
I have friends who are knowledgeable Marilyn fans such as he.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:38am From: north guinea hills

Do any people in Jersey still speak Jèrriais? Curious.

(yes, i did history in university)

Fri. 10/2/09 11:48am From: Cecile

AH! I can now jack my body with impunity again! Thanks for the techno, Billy

Fri. 10/2/09 11:48am From: Ike

It's definitely not quitus.com, that's a parked ad page owned by my evil employers or a competitor. And quietus.com isn't working for me either. Anyway, nice techno.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:52am From: Ken From Hyde Park

Can Jersey residents enter the Olympics under their own flag? On a related note, Chicago was eliminated from the 2016 vote.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:53am From: BSI

Sorry comrades, I'm a bit late to the party.
are we having stream issues again?
shall I take the TINY BLACK PILL that will end all my pain?

Fri. 10/2/09 11:53am From: Cecile

YAY Donald Glaude!

Fri. 10/2/09 11:54am From: Ike

Oh, and Xanthe has a beautiful voice.

Fri. 10/2/09 11:58am From: GP
