Thu. 11/19/09 6:03am Meghan:

Thu. 11/19/09 6:05am Joshua K:

Happy Thanksgiving

Thu. 11/19/09 6:05am Chuck:

Busy, busy, busy... I was looking over the playlist /comments for last week and I aactually was in CT for the past 9 days... Wierd!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:06am Meghan:

hehe... i am having a little turkey now actually... and cranberry sauce!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:06am Meghan:

wow... that is funny!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:09am Chuck:

Yay, Billie! Love this old stuff... It's like watching a really good old movie...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:09am Joshua K:

I have to think of something good to bring to thanksgiving next week. I saw a recipe for sweet tamales but i dont have all the cookware to assemble that in time.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:10am Meghan:

It is... I used to have a job that played her all the time....

Thu. 11/19/09 6:12am Dave B:

Coffee's a brewing. I need a cup to cry into

Thu. 11/19/09 6:12am Meghan:

mmmm, sweet tamales sounds really good.....

awww Dave... hehe

Thu. 11/19/09 6:13am Gibby in Manchester:

This is a great theme; if we get 'Cry A While' by Bob Dylan, 'Don't Cry' by J Dilla or 'I'll Cry' by Reigning Sound then this day is officially a slam dunk.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:13am Chuck:

Try some Asian spring rolls, Joshua... Easy to make, minimal cookware needed, and super delicious!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:15am Meghan:

The cry theme was kind of out of control... i didn't even get the songs on that I wanted.... and I am the one that puts it together! HA!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:16am Joshua K:

My stepmom is known for her Vietnamese summer rolls. I need come up with my own signature holiday dish. Now I am gettin hungry again, maybe i will cry.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:16am Gibby in Manchester:

Maybe we need 'Cryin' 2: Still Cryin'.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:17am Dave B:

I need to get me more stuff from this era. Sweet melancholy!
(note to self - library @ Lincoln Center this weekend)

Thu. 11/19/09 6:17am Meghan:

hehe... without a doubt! It will happen!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:17am Joshua K:

Hmm jamaican sweet potato pudding, that sounds good.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:19am Chuck:

Yeah, Joshua, now you're talkin'..Anything that's different than the traditional stuff everyone makes is a good idea!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:20am Dave B:

spatzel with bacon bits - thats my signature dish!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:21am Chuck:

Anything with bacon in it is awesome!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:23am Joshua K:

I saw something about mexican hotdogs when I was searching... hotdogs wrapped in bacon

Thu. 11/19/09 6:23am Chuck:

Damn! I just thought of "There's a Tear in My Beer" by Hank Williams...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:26am Dave B:

"I'd eat my own foot if it were wrapped in bacon, and cooked in butter" - Peter Griffin

Thu. 11/19/09 6:26am Joshua K:

"Keep My Skillet Good and Greasy "!!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:26am Meghan:

Best Album title ever......

Thu. 11/19/09 6:27am Chuck:

Yeah, that is karmic! A food theme should be coming up soon, Meg...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:28am Meghan:

You know.... i was thinking the same thing.... the after thanksgiving show....

Thu. 11/19/09 6:28am Joshua K:

I hope it has cheesy songs about cheese, maybe by richard cheese

Thu. 11/19/09 6:29am Meghan:

That would be the bestest thing ever....

Thu. 11/19/09 6:30am Joshua K:

Richard Cheese has a cover of Kelis - Milkshake

Thu. 11/19/09 6:30am Dave B:

you could break up the sets as courses

Thu. 11/19/09 6:31am Meghan:

ohhh I love it! keep it going!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:31am Joshua K:

Hes got a cover of Chop Suey as well

Thu. 11/19/09 6:32am Gibby in Manchester:

You guys have forced my hand; laptop in the kitchen, making something to eat. I hope you're all very happy!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:33am Chuck:

I've got one for ya... "Cherry Muffin Time" by (get this) Spit Baby... Desert course...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:34am Dave B:

Start a food show with 1: Cocktails - Scotchin' With Soda - Nat King Cole etc...
2: Appetizers - Let's Throw Shimp - Allan Holdsworth

You get the idea...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:35am Meghan:

That could be breakfast as well....

I am there with you Gibby... I am going to be starving soon!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:35am Joshua K:

It's Martini Time - Rev Horton Heat

Thu. 11/19/09 6:35am Chuck:

Go easy on the salt, Gibby... Your tears for this show will supply the salt... hehe...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:37am Meghan:

Oh a drinking theme is a show in itself.... and been thought of as well.... New Years perhaps?

Thu. 11/19/09 6:37am Chuck:

Ah, Hank makes it anyway... Sweet...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:37am Dave B:

Main Course - Latex Solar Beef - Zappa

Thu. 11/19/09 6:39am Meghan:

hmmm need to write these all down.....

Thu. 11/19/09 6:40am Dave B:

In 2006 or 2007 (I think) Rex did a complete show on boozing songs. I was so impressed I ripped and burned the stream. 3 CDs of boozin!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:40am Chuck:

"Eat Steak" by Rev. Horton Heat... A song you introduced me to...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:41am Meghan:

Not that difficult if you think about it.... lots of songs about boozing it up....

Ah yes, love the "Eat Steak" Song....

Thu. 11/19/09 6:41am annie:

this is all sooooo sad... how did the pledge drive go? i have to call today, emergency yesterday.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:41am Dave B:

meant to add - it was Fools Paradise's New Years Eve show, very apropos..

Thu. 11/19/09 6:41am Joshua K:

Scott Williams used to have a podcasted segment where him and some other DJs would sit around and drink and review beers. I miss that.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:43am Dave B:

I remember that show!

Preacher Porkchop - KMD

Thu. 11/19/09 6:44am Chuck:

Howard Jones' "Aliens Ate My Buick" is my funniest album title...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:48am annie:

i just became a fan! yay! i've grown accustomed to your show meghan and am actually remembering to make it a habit..

Thu. 11/19/09 6:49am Chuck:

Smell The Bacon - Madball
Bacon Fat - Frank Zappa

Thu. 11/19/09 6:51am Meghan:

Do i have to do an all Bacon show?!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:52am annie:

wonderful, i'm still gonna call.. this station deserves support.. yes bacon!! and next week is wwoz's attempt to do an all food music week.

Thu. 11/19/09 6:52am Chuck:

Na, Meghan... Our arteries would harden before the show was over... HA!

Thu. 11/19/09 6:54am davice:

Bacon or taylor ham

Thu. 11/19/09 6:54am Gibby:

Matthew Herbert did a record called Plat Du Jour, which is all about the food industry; all the samples are from food consumption and food manufacture and have titles like 'The Truncated Life Of A Modern Industrialised Chicken' or 'White Bread, Brown Bread'. Bit political perhaps. Maybe that show will make us talk about crying instead?

Thu. 11/19/09 6:55am Meghan:

ahhh the inspirations from show to show.... I would love to hear that album...

Thu. 11/19/09 6:57am Joshua K:

How about: "Warm as Toast" -Russ Veers
"Pancake"-The Panasonics
"Wafflestompin' Mama"-Ray Campi
For starters...

Thu. 11/19/09 7:02am Chuck:

Ah, also "Post Toastee" by Tommy Bolin for the cereal lovers...

Thu. 11/19/09 7:03am Dave B:

Sorry - more Zappa:
St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast

Thu. 11/19/09 7:03am ?:

Banana Puddin' by Southern Culture on the Skids

Thu. 11/19/09 7:04am Joshua K:

Ooops my name disappeared

Thu. 11/19/09 7:05am Gibby:

I'm going to go and do some work and leave this on in the background; my sole suggestion for next week would be 'Spinning Cotton Candy In A Shack' by Black Moth Super Rainbow. Awesome show so far Meghan. In a bit.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:05am Meghan:

Thanks Gibby!

Thu. 11/19/09 7:06am Dave B:

and one last Zappa track, consider this a side dish

Call Any Vegetable

Thu. 11/19/09 7:07am Chuck:

Does cotton candy qualify as an actual food?

Thu. 11/19/09 7:07am Dave B:

Did that Kenneth Ruffin track end a little too quick? Sorry bout that. Might have gotten mangled / been a partial file.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:07am annie:

you could fill a whole hour on the "jelly-roll" theme..

Thu. 11/19/09 7:09am Dave B:

Bacon theme - you need to start @ the source

The first half could be about pigs
then Farmers, and the final set...

BACON!!!!!

Thu. 11/19/09 7:09am Joshua K:

Hasn't someone done a whole show or set on popcorn songs like james brown pop corn and all the copycat tracks

Anyone have any green eggs and ham?

Thu. 11/19/09 7:11am Joshua K:

Green Eggs and Swine by 3rd Bass

Thu. 11/19/09 7:11am Meghan:

From what I heard, Kenny G posted up on the blog the many versions of the song Popcorn....

Thu. 11/19/09 7:11am Joshua K:

I think it was an LCD article at some point but maybe I read it in the blog.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:12am Chuck:

"String Bean Mama" - Smiling Bill Carlisle
"Beans, Beans, Beans" - Lightnin' Hopkins
"Snap Bean" - Li'l Brian and the Zydeco Travelers (just cuz you've never played any zydeco to my knowledge)

Thu. 11/19/09 7:21am Meghan:

That was part of the problem.. I couldn't even find that.... I just found a quick little blurb of it.. Oh well... What I really need is that Gogi Grant song- "Down Here on the Ground"

Thu. 11/19/09 7:22am Davice:

Which H & J song - I have the CD in front of me

Thu. 11/19/09 7:22am Meghan:

I've Got Tears In My Ears From Lying On My Back In Bed While I Cry Over You

Thu. 11/19/09 7:24am Davice:

Thu. 11/19/09 7:25am Davice:

Not to worry - I have a friend at Nassau Library Systems. She might be able to locate it.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:35am Meghan:

Zap away.... since i will be a bit wacky with travel and all....

Thu. 11/19/09 7:36am Joshua K:

The entire Viva! La Woman album by Cibo Matto is food songs so take your pick.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:36am Chuck:

Do you need all the songs I mentioned? If so zapping will commence ASAP...

Thu. 11/19/09 7:37am Parq:

Damn, I overslept. Missed some great sounds and also some fine conversation. Wail on, blues lady, I gotta make coffee.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:38am Joshua K:

I was gonna leave here soon and go food shopping but now I am so hungry I think thats a bad idea.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:38am Meghan:

Very true.... sugar water.... beef jerky... artichoke....

Thu. 11/19/09 7:39am meghan:

commence zapping Chuck! And yes, food shopping when hungry is a bad bad idea! And Yay Parq is here!

Thu. 11/19/09 7:39am Davice:

Red Red Wine - UB40 and Supermarket by Fred Gillen Jr.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:46am Chuck:

Think I'll have to look over the comments to remember all the songs I mentioned! Don't have your Gmail handy... I've been using my Linux OS to get to the internet cuz Internet Explorer is screwed up... Must wait til I can switch back to the stupid Windows OS....

Thu. 11/19/09 7:49am Joshua K:

Make it Windows 7 and use google chrome instead of internet exploder.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:49am Meghan:

No worries Chuck.... the underwater@wfmu.org goes to that gmail acct....

Thu. 11/19/09 7:51am Chuck:

Okee doke... I'll be sending packages of 3 songs... Wrapped in bacon, of course... Ha!

Thu. 11/19/09 7:53am Dirty Old Man:

Hi Megan: I'm cryin'; stuck in here in S.C., with the Columbia Blues again. Can't get out; it rains everyother day. See you next week.

Thu. 11/19/09 7:59am Chuck:

First package is on it's way... The bean songs...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:00am Meghan:

D.O.M- That sucks.... see you next week!

Thanks Chuck!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:02am Chuck:

A guilty pleasure! I just love Lesley Gore, as cheezy as she was at times! hehe...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:03am Parq:

An answer song! Rockin'.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:11am Chuck:

Package two is on it's way... I'll have to get the rest to you later... Got some stuff to do today...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:13am rb:

Swinging show! Greetings from St Andrews, Scotland!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:14am Parq:

Fine cheese set! Like camabert.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:17am Dave B:

The Rogues - Hollerin for Haggis

Thu. 11/19/09 8:18am Chuck:

Is that the spelling? I wondered... Not that I really would consider that food anyway... Ha!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:18am Meghan:

Hey there RB! Glad to see Scotland checking in! As you can tell, my comments are on a food theme now... hehe

Thu. 11/19/09 8:18am annie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrNLm0w0mDs

haggis

Thu. 11/19/09 8:19am rb:

haggis is obviously too easy...try "cullen skink"! :c)

Thu. 11/19/09 8:20am Chuck:

Skink as in the lizard?! Strange indeed!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:21am Gibby:

As far as I know there is no song for Cullen Skink (great soup though) but there is one for Stovies.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:22am rb:

@Chuck: smoked fish actually...we're not blessed with a climate that supports many lizards.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:25am Chuck:

Whatever it's called there I can get down with some smoked fish! Sounds yummy!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:27am Dave B:

So Meghan - are you seriously putting together a food show?

@rb - so long as it is NOTHING like the Scandanavian "lutefish", I'll try anything smoked, with or without bacon.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:28am Dave B:

Damn you Wikipedia! The Lutefish entry shows a nice plate garnished with - whatelse - BACON!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:29am Michael:

Loving the garage set!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:29am Meghan:

Lutefisk is not smoked.... it's LYE.... *shudders* And yes, I am totally doing food as next live show!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:29am Chuck:

@ Dave B - Scandanavian Gravlax is great, even though it's not smoked...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:29am Michael:

Now I'm awake!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:31am Meghan:

It's a fun set.... i can't stop moving around! I have so many more too....no time to do them! Next Crying show!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:31am Chuck:

A cuckle from the past, Meg... Remember the Laura Gunch bacon episode... HA!!!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:31am Dave B:

cool. I'll get to workin on some tasty morsels for ya.

oh - there's an idea "Tasty" by the Good Rats!

@chuck - so long as Gravlax isn't cooked with LYE, I'm game!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:31am Meghan:

hehe.... bacon bacon bacon... I smell BACON!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:32am Dave B:

i can't read!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:34am Chuck:

Lye?!?! Revolting!!! No, Gravlax is just salt cured slamon with garlic and lots of fresh dill... Ummm, on a nice piece of brown bread and really good mustard....

Thu. 11/19/09 8:37am nondairykramer:

Lye? Fish? What's not to like?

Thu. 11/19/09 8:38am Gibby:

Great choice. John Lever, who played drums on this, lives around the corner from me.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:38am Chuck:

Can't see eating something that's used to make soap... It's just not right!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:39am Adrian in London:

I love the addition of 'UK' on bands' names.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:40am Meghan:

I am a HUGE Chameleons fan... I searched long and hard for this on vinyl for a while....

hehe... me too... Mission UK, Chameleons UK... hmmm, who else...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:40am Andy in Berlin:

I just got back from the dentist to find you only have 21 minutes to get Johnnie Ray in there. How could you do a crying show and not play "Cry" by the man known as "Mr. Emotion", "The Nabob of Sob", and "The Prince of Wails",

Thu. 11/19/09 8:40am Meghan:

Oh Charlatans UK....

Thu. 11/19/09 8:40am Chuck:

Usually done for legal reasons though.... Charlatans UK...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:41am Gibby:

Massive Attack rejected the idea of being Massive Attack UK and just opted for Massive. Their name change, I believe, was for reasons pertaining to counter-terrorism measures.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:42am Meghan:

Andy! I was worried you wouldn't make it! Here, since you didn't think I would play Nick Cave *giggles*

Thu. 11/19/09 8:42am Dave B:

Good thing UK didn't need to do that, would have been redundant, or they might have gotten mistaken for an Inuit band.

Not that there's anything wrong with Inuit music.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:43am Parq:

Damn, I missed the garage set too! At least I made it back for the modern rock set. Have a lovely TG, Miss Megs. J'regret, I will not be up early enough to hear the pre-rec show in real time.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:44am Andy in Berlin:

I never doubted you but just making sure. And now that I think of it, where is Little Anthony and the Imperials, Tears On My Pillow? You need a little choking and wailing here before you go.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:44am Meghan:

Awww Thanks Parq! Well in the midst of Turkey Coma, you can listen to the archive!

Thu. 11/19/09 8:45am Chuck:

Let the triptaphan do it's thing, kids...

Thu. 11/19/09 8:52am Stuart Troutman:

I never understood why Stone Roses were such a big deal in the UK.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:52am Adrian in London:

Suede became The London Suede for the States. Gibby, Massive Attack: "the group then confusingly changed their name to simply “Massive” to avoid any implication of approval for the U.N.’s policy towards Iraq" Source: the internet

Thu. 11/19/09 8:53am Stuart Troutman:

lemme guess: trendy videos?

Thu. 11/19/09 8:55am Meghan:

Their videos weren't that great and they weren't that cute, but I did like their music....

Thu. 11/19/09 8:57am Andy in Berlin:

It's probably too late but this is a whole cheese set all by itself.

Thu. 11/19/09 8:58am Adrian in London UK:

It was a cultural thing, a kick against grunge. Although to me it sounded like a terrible version of Herman's Hermits. Baggy jeans, for God's sake

Thu. 11/19/09 8:58am Dave B:

HAPPY TURKEY ALL!
