A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

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! | |

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 | |

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
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 9:40am
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

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

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
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
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
trouble:
the pianists on the satie were dominique merlet & jean-pierre armengaud | |
|
Thu. 11/5/09 9:58am
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. | |

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

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... | |

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

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
em:
last year's was a one minute marathon, no? | |
|
Thu. 11/5/09 10:17am

Bad Ronald:
Yes, I am forever sitting in the corner w/a dunce cap on! | |
|
Thu. 11/5/09 10:19am
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
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! | |

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
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

Good morning Trouble and people of popularity. | |

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

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
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
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 | |

Get audacity and feed your amp into your soundcard. Hee Hee pull out the Dick Hyman... | |

Thu. 11/5/09 10:43am
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
Cecile:
OH, cool. I have garage band. Hrm. think about this. | |
|
Thu. 11/5/09 10:47am
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
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. | |

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

Parq:
Adrian, what you're suggesting could be a monster WFMU heavy-airplay item. | |
|
Thu. 11/5/09 10:50am
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
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
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
Carmichael:
Thanks Adrian, but no Mac here. Regular ol' PC w/soundcard. | |

repeating 'marathons' that is One's ok. | |

Thu. 11/5/09 11:07am
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
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? | |

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! | |

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
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. | |

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. | |
