Thu. 11/5/09 9:06am From: Cecile

Aw, poor trouble.

I hate both the Yankees and the Red Sox. But my last favorite baseball team was the '74 As, so there you go.

Feel better!

Thu. 11/5/09 9:08am From: matheus

good god!
this is the best erik satie i've ever heard.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:10am From: Cecile

ITA matheus
who is the pianist?

Thu. 11/5/09 9:10am From: Adrian in London

Greetings Trouble, and to all. There'sa nice piece on the Erik Satie Museum here: http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/anne-on-the-move-a-weekend-in-honfleur-france/?scp=3&sq=erik%20satie&st=cse

Thu. 11/5/09 9:18am From: Cecile

that looks magical!

Thu. 11/5/09 9:18am From: trouble

good morning all. almost didn't include the good part. Not so much for the phillies loss but our new nj governor, ick!

Thu. 11/5/09 9:20am From: v k

can anyone cite a corzine accomplishment? i'm not a fan of new NJ gov, but feel it is time to give someone else a chance

Thu. 11/5/09 9:22am From: Adrian in London

Cecile, if you like that then the little Jean Cocteau museum in Menton is one of the best places I've ever visited. It's tiny and beautiful. There's going to be a large centre built nearby, and quite rightly, but the little fort is so perfect it'd be a shame if it were no longer used.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:24am From: Cecile

I'd love to get to France. And that sounds lovely, too.
I have to start re-adjusting my priorities. Travel more.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:25am From: Trapper

I second Miss Trouble's 'ICK'

Thu. 11/5/09 9:30am From: Lou

ditto on "ick"

can i add maine to the ick list

Thu. 11/5/09 9:31am From: BSI

just quietly lurking here in the Belly of the Beast.
.....this Murcof dealie is the sweetness....

Thu. 11/5/09 9:32am From: Amanda

Phillies & Yankees-quit yer whining. Better luck next year.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:38am From: PMD

Yay! I could so use this big blood. Thank you! Hi Trouble. Hi all.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:38am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Schools are funded by local property taxes in Virginia. I thought that was the way it is done everywhere.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:39am From: matheus

I can't believe this a Can cover.
I never knew people made Can covers.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:39am From: Ψ-Ns

That is why so many old people from NJ move to Florida - no property taxes

Thu. 11/5/09 9:39am From: em

this vitamin c track does have restorative powers.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:40am From: Cecile

Same here, DDG.
Who were the pianists on the Satie piece, Trouble?

Nothing wrong with Republican governors as long as they're just fiscally conservative and not trying to legislate your bedroom behavior.

Which, sadly, is less and less common these days.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:41am From: Cecile

Pawlenty here in MN is unfortunately one of the latter. And extremely capricious with the programs he wants to cut.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:41am From: BSI

Ah, the big blood........ this is so much better than anything on the 'Sacrilege' Can remix compilation...

Thu. 11/5/09 9:42am From: thecleef

Healthy Can interpretation=Sick!

Thu. 11/5/09 9:42am From: Adrian in London

Camille, we here in Europe have always been sneery about the tiny number of Americans who have passports, but then someone pointed out to me that you only get one week's holiday per year or something stupid like that. Insane.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:45am From: Cecile

that's it exactly.
I get about four or so now that I've been at a public agency for years. But it gets eaten up taking care of sick parents and visiting family at Christmas. I have the time, just not really the $ to travel these days. I want to change that.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:49am From: em

don't some european countries give their citizens a stipend/allowance for holiday/travel (essentially a rebate from the income tax)? i seem to remember my friend in the netherlands getting a couple thou delivered from the govt to the bank account slated for holiday expenses.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:57am From: trouble

the pianists on the satie were dominique merlet & jean-pierre armengaud

Thu. 11/5/09 9:58am From: Adrian in London

That certainly doesn't happen here, Em. On the Monocle magazine podcast they said how Japan tried to kick-start the economy recently by giving everyone 1,500 yen (I think). Canny travel agents were then advertising holidays for, you guessed it, 1,500 yen.

Thu. 11/5/09 9:59am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2008/10/20/debunking-passport-myth/

Thu. 11/5/09 10:02am From: Cecile

thank you, trouble!
I will have to look up other recordings by them

Thu. 11/5/09 10:04am From: Adrian in London

And we have so many countries around us that we need passports for.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:04am From: Cecile

good point, DDG. I also want to travel more around the US and Canada as well.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:05am From: trouble

on the fabulous occasions I have had to live in europe I was constantly gobsmacked by how quickly you can float from one culture to another. 6 hours travel can drive you through three countries, whereas 6 hours from NYC is pittsburgh...

Thu. 11/5/09 10:07am From: matheus

anymore Can covers, Trouble?

Thu. 11/5/09 10:08am From: north guinea hills

I read jon savage's "The Creation of Youth 1876-1946" in which that compilation companioned. Awesome read, recommended.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:11am From: Cecile

There is much to like about Pittsburgh.
Similiar culture in some ways, but many differences.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:11am From: Cecile

and hee, it must be said. Dick Hyman. hee.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:14am From: Bad Ronald

I repeat Dick Hyman!!!

Thu. 11/5/09 10:14am From: PMD

No offense, but FMU has had 1 day marathons before (last year for sure). Maybe it should just be made 'annual'? I'm not offended and will give money...but still, maybe it should be assumed there will be shortfalls?

Thu. 11/5/09 10:15am From: em

last year's was a one minute marathon, no?

Thu. 11/5/09 10:17am From: Cecile

we are 12, Bad Ron.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:18am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, I am forever sitting in the corner w/a dunce cap on!

Thu. 11/5/09 10:19am From: trouble

last year we did not have a one day marathon. and yes the shortfalls are are a part of life, such as last years' marathon not meeting it's goal. a goal that runs the station on the most minimal shoestring budget. REMEMBER everyone of your beloved dj's sits here week after week without pay. Unlike every other radio station....

Thu. 11/5/09 10:26am From: dale

i give to wfmu and poughkeepsie's wvkr because they are volunteer staffed. djs on the other 'public' stations on the ny dial collect a salary - no soup for them!

Thu. 11/5/09 10:28am From: pierre

Hello, thank you for this program.
I'm listening to you from France... and i appreciate your francophily.
don't forget Katerine, Brigitte Fontaine, Dominique A or The Little Rabbits.
Kiss

Thu. 11/5/09 10:29am From: Cecile

I don't mind if DJs get paid places. But I'd also like those stations to be more adventurous with their ideas.
I have no problems donating. I wish I were rich enough to just write a check so you could say "the marathon is cancelled!"

Thu. 11/5/09 10:30am From: Carmichael

Good morning Trouble and people of popularity.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:31am From: trouble

merci bien pierre! oui moi j'aime katerine, brigitte f, dominique A et the little rabbits. dommage, ces cd's est chez moi aujourd'hui...

Thu. 11/5/09 10:34am From: Adrian in London

I received the new Benjamin Biolay album (on triple vinyl!) yesterday. It's not called La Superbe for nothing.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:37am From: Carmichael

Wow, I haven't heard Dick Hyman in ages. And I still haven't, since I tuned in late. Is he on the Ohm compilation? I'll have to pull that out again tonite.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:38am From: dale

cecile, you hit it on the head. so many stations want your money so they can bring you npr - i can get npr on 5 or 6 stations now from ny and jersey. plus if you listen to 'fuv in ny, well you'll hear the same songs for the next 6 months.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:39am From: Carmichael

Speaking of vinyl, I'm ready to get into vinyl-ripping mode. Can anyone recommend a good software to accomplish this?

Good = free or cheap

Thu. 11/5/09 10:41am From: Bad Ronald

Get audacity and feed your amp into your soundcard.

Hee Hee pull out the Dick Hyman...

Thu. 11/5/09 10:42am From: Cecile

ROFL, bad ron. Stop!

Thu. 11/5/09 10:43am From: Adrian in London

If you've got a Mac just create a file in Garageband and stick a 3.5 jack from your turntable into your input on your Mac. Play, record and export as mp3.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:45am From: Cecile

OH, cool.
I have garage band.
Hrm. think about this.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:47am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

I think that is quite enough about Dick Hyman and his organ.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:47am From: Adrian in London

Don't forget to change the input selection in Garageband preferences, otherwise you have 20 minutes of yourself wandering around the room, and coughing or whatever.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:50am From: pierre

an interesting thing, you should like and maybe know... It's Prince Miiaou. I just discovered her.

kiss

Thu. 11/5/09 10:50am From: Parq

Adrian, what you're suggesting could be a monster WFMU heavy-airplay item.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:50am From: PMD

Sorry to be so late coming back. I love FMU. And I greatly appreciate all the DJs and volunteers. But maybe FMU should rethink the 'one 2 week marathon a year' concept so it's not quite so shoestring. Or would that reduce people's willingness to give during those 2 weeks? I don't know. I'll stop spouting now.

Thu. 11/5/09 10:56am From: trs

I think you can have a second fundraising period w/o interrupting regularly scheduled radio w/ a marathon. Eg. A 'Silent Marathon'

Me, I'd always give more to the off-marathon one.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:01am From: Adrian in London

PMD, yeah, I was going to say that!

Let's face it, there's never a good tie for a marathon. We've all got other things that we have to spend money on, butit's grat that we aren't being hassled for cash every day like on some, say, West Coast US college-based stations.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:02am From: Carmichael

Thanks Adrian, but no Mac here. Regular ol' PC w/soundcard.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:03am From: trs

Name one double or triple or repeating on-air station you listen to and support each time.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:04am From: arnaldo

Non-existing-God bless you, Trouble! Your taste in music is worth more than what our three-term-aberration spent to get himself re-elected

Thu. 11/5/09 11:04am From: trs

repeating 'marathons' that is

One's ok.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:05am From: Adrian in London

Carmichael: in that case I haven't got a clue.

Trouble, that Vitoire Scott track was a killer!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:07am From: patrick

hey trouble long time no listen!! sorry we did not make it to NYC last week. hope things are well. i have been installing all week, ill send you shots at the end of the day.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:07am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

I gave twice this year. Once in the spring, and then again about a month ago in response to a mailing saying that FMU missed me and noticed I had not donated for a while. I thought it odd, but fell for the trap, but that's just me.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:08am From: PMD

I like the idea of a silent marathon. As a second one. But how do you beg and plead then? How provide updates on how the fundraising is going?

Thu. 11/5/09 11:12am From: trs

-web site
-opt-in mailing list
-in the list of station announcements for a show - i.e. once a show, not every moment you get
-tied in w/ the record fair
- _______

Thu. 11/5/09 11:12am From: dale

fmu could have a bake sale or a car wash or bachelor(ette) auction or a tricky tray (whatever that is) or bingo or plan a bank robbery or sidle up to jersey's politically corrupt teat or ...

Thu. 11/5/09 11:13am From: trs

promo tied in w/ the record fair --not updates

Thu. 11/5/09 11:14am From: trouble

i would actually love to knit dog sweaters for small dogs! i love to do that. i just made a cable knit for a fab chi wow wow

Thu. 11/5/09 11:15am From: patrick

we may have dropped the ball on one, but at least we did not elect a character from a McDonalds cartoon Governor...

Thu. 11/5/09 11:15am From: Ghost of Rickey Medlocke

The end of this mum song sounds like Renaldo and the Loaf - which always gets me a little excited that I'm hearing Renaldo and the Loaf

Thu. 11/5/09 11:17am From: paul

skygreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen hallelujah!!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:17am From: Cecile

trouble, my doggie friends are not into coats, but I have crocheted this bone toy, "Mr femur" to great results!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:17am From: Carmichael

I prefer my dogs to wear berets. Or at least a trendy bandanna 'round their neck.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:19am From: dale

@trouble - have you seen stuffed magazine? it's a ton of spun fun.

http://www.stampington.com/html/stuffed_s09.html#inside

Thu. 11/5/09 11:21am From: PMD

Yes, money greases the wheels. :-)

Thu. 11/5/09 11:23am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Since I already gave twice this year, for the one day marathon I will personally send Trouble a Shift key to replace the one missing from her keyboard.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:23am From: trouble

thanks dale, that looks fab!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:28am From: Cecile

She's doing a show GWW. Surely you must know how busy you get.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:28am From: arnaldo

Now you did it! 70's style samba funk? Who's this Marcio Local guy? Never heard of him

Thu. 11/5/09 11:29am From: ?

ever since I got this Marcio Local disc I have had difficulty taking it out of the player . . .

Thu. 11/5/09 11:30am From: Cecile

it's pretty great.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:31am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Cetacea creepiness.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:32am From: Jennique

Wow Trouble, I feel like I am on an international flight around the world. So many languages. Lovin' it!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:33am From: Carmichael

Marcio Local is on the Luaka Bop 3" of music series of CDs.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:33am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Cetus amuckness.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:35am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Beluga bloviator.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:37am From: Jennique

Oh boy, I love this song.
"Oh woman, I WANNA GO SURFING!"
(Preferably somewhere warm, thank you)

Thu. 11/5/09 11:39am From: Cecile

so no surfing Mavericks in a super thick wetsuit for you Jennique?

Thu. 11/5/09 11:41am From: Adrian in London

'moom'

Thu. 11/5/09 11:41am From: Shannon

moom!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:42am From: Jennique

Although I am from San Jose, California - I prefer body surfing the calm waves of Waikiki. (But a wetsuit would be a good idea for my blindingly white skin)

Thu. 11/5/09 11:43am From: Marshall Stacks

I'm about 30 miles south of Mavericks, 2 miles from the nearest rollercoaster, and loved that The Drums track.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:44am From: paul

this is heaven

Thu. 11/5/09 11:45am From: v k

what paul said

Thu. 11/5/09 11:46am From: Cecile

I would like to surf anywhere, even though I am old. I love the ocean and the water.
And I know from blindingly white skin. Thank god for 100+ waterproof sunscreen.

Marshall, everytime I see a pic of Mavericks it's both frightening and beautiful.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:49am From: Carmichael

I'm right smack in the middle between Lake Tahoe and The Napa Valley. I surfed the Pacific as a kid, but now I'm old and slow. And wiser.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:49am From: Spencer

Just came across this band last week. Love the album, and this song especially.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:50am From: Marshall Stacks

For most of us, myself included, a photo will have to do - and will more than suffice.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:50am From: Jennique

I live on the east coast now, but I will always think the west coast has the most beautiful beaches. Can't help it. Santa Cruz and Natural Bridge(s) beach is my all time favorite.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:51am From: Cecile

I could still do some body surfing at Bondi Beach again if I had the chance, though. Was down there for a year as a kid. LOVED the ocean.

This VCR is a really nice tune!

Thu. 11/5/09 11:53am From: PMD

Hey Carmichael - I'm thinking of moving to your neck of the woods from DC area...

Thu. 11/5/09 11:53am From: Jennique

Spent a lot of time in the Pacific as a youngster. Will hopefully someday retire there and wear a muu-muu like Mrs. Roper on Three's Company and sell shell art.

Or not.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:55am From: Marshall Stacks

Jennique, on behalf of all of us here in Santa Cruz, I thank you. :-)

Speaking of Natural Bridges, it occurs to me that the monarch butterflies are due to arrive there soon on their annual migration. I always try to visit a few times to see them.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:57am From: Jennique

Oh yes, the monarchs! I forgot! They would cover whole tree trunks as I recall. Were you able to see Natural Bridges when it was two bridges? Makes me sad that only one stands, but at least it was the ocean that dragged it down.

Thu. 11/5/09 11:58am From: Ike

Belatedly: Someone wanted to know one thing that Corzine accomplished. I don't like him a lot, but: children's health insurance. Eliminated dual-office holding. Killed death penalty (admittedly wasn't being used). Gun control. Installed solar panels.

Now we have a hard-right social conservative friend of W. who wants to cut taxes for the rich. Bleh.

Thu. 11/5/09 12:01pm From: Carmichael

NO kidding, PMD??

Thu. 11/5/09 12:01pm From: Jennique

Chris Christie. Who names their kid CHRIS when their last name is CHRISTIE?

Bleh.
