Wed. 1/6/10 12:14pm maria:

morning/afternoon/evenin, all

Wed. 1/6/10 12:17pm annie:

yeah, i am too; it's been a pretty active last few weeks. what started out as a short week-long visit for christmas has extended. i'm helping out in the distillery and running errands, etc. but boy i miss my home and isa misses her woods..

Wed. 1/6/10 12:29pm dc apt:

jeeze, I miss your home and woods...I'm getting sick of (sh)city life...

Wed. 1/6/10 12:31pm Cecile:

Where is the playing with the cat toys and the coughing up hairballs?

Wed. 1/6/10 12:31pm Carmichael:

Distillery, did you say Annie????? My interest is piqued!

Wed. 1/6/10 12:32pm north guinea hills:

Ahhh, Maria is having one of THOSE NY mornings. Ouch! (I hate those).

Wed. 1/6/10 12:33pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Hey folks -- here and listening, but also working, so I probably won't be able to participate in the discussion. Please insert a few clever and/or snarky comments on my behalf.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:34pm dc apt:

...and the clawing my hand for no reason.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:35pm Cecile:

You haz trains,and many routes.
We still have a palty two lines here in Mpls.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:36pm Cecile:

and the chasing invisible mice. And climbing on their human's face in the AM.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:38pm dc apt:

and the waking me up at 4AM to go out for a pee, dammit.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:42pm annie:

this, carm and an article in the nytimes, has really blown the top off of her business.. people calling from all over. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/23/dining/23absi.html

Wed. 1/6/10 12:50pm steve j:

cou cou Maria, from Steve in France.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:52pm maria:

Staayyyyyyeeeevvve!!! Salut! ca va

Wed. 1/6/10 12:55pm dc apt:

Abner Jay is the greatest.

Wed. 1/6/10 12:56pm steve j:

thought I'd give you a listen today. it's snowin here in the hills and your radio show is just the ticket.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:01pm dc apt:

pretty cool annie.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:05pm annie:

yeah apt, i'm pretty happy for her. she worked hard to get here.. and the brew itself is damn good.. no need for sugar ... and all her herbs are organic and grown by people she knows, including myself

Wed. 1/6/10 1:10pm v k:

howdie Maria - ur show has my boat afloat

Wed. 1/6/10 1:11pm Bad Ronald:

Absinthe makes the mind grow farther...
Great show Maria thanks!

Wed. 1/6/10 1:12pm Cecile:

Annie, are you sure you don't want to be part of that? Her business sounds very special...

Wed. 1/6/10 1:18pm dc apt:

jeeze, Abner Jay and Joe Spence in one show. That sounds like a good place to start 2010.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:18pm Cecile:

I'm sure you've thought that out to death, though.

Thanks for the Joseph Spence, Maria!

Wed. 1/6/10 1:23pm annie:

i have mixed feelings, actually cecile.. yes, i have and i still struggle with what the hell i am going to do now.. staying here is ok, but i really have to pay my own way and i'm not.. and i yearn for a place where what i do makes a contribution

Wed. 1/6/10 1:28pm Cecile:

I think helpring with a great, unique artisanal product is a cool contribution.

And I imagine you've given a lot in your life. It's not such a horrible thing to let the wheel of karma let you accept some gifts.

But then again, if it were me, I'd probably be restless too. I can't believe I've been in the same town or job for os long.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:33pm annie:

it's funny, she will be doing well enough by spring to pay me, but this is getting old, sleeping on the couch and i don't have any of my books here with me.. isa misses her woods.. blah blah blah

Wed. 1/6/10 1:36pm Cecile:

Yeah, you want to be home.
Hrm. Maybe getting out of town IS the answer.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:36pm Matthew in Stroud, UK:

Never thought I'd enjoy Black Sabbath. Just had to look this track up - sounds very modern!

Wed. 1/6/10 1:37pm annie:

i'm thinking yeah...

Wed. 1/6/10 1:38pm Cecile:

I first heard this done by Guns 'n' Roses. Thought it was their song! Nice surprise.

Wed. 1/6/10 1:42pm annie:

maria, this has been a great show.. really.. just the ticket...(and thanks for letting me loose some steam)

Wed. 1/6/10 1:54pm maria:

anytime honey & thanks

Wed. 1/6/10 1:55pm Looms:

Hello Maria!
You don't wanna know what's on 91.1 fm and 90.1 fm in my area ; maybe someday we'll be able to listen to wfmu in our cars through the internet but in the meanwhile, it's a domestic pleasure.
Best wishes for 2010 from France!

Wed. 1/6/10 1:59pm LizGig:

Hi Maria - happy new year! love the bee song

Wed. 1/6/10 2:02pm annie:

looms, i hear there is actually some technology in the works for that; makes me want to go out and get a new car just to drive and hear my favorite stations anytime anywhere!

Wed. 1/6/10 2:03pm dc apt:

sounds like they're saying "I got a baked bean"

Wed. 1/6/10 2:06pm LizGig:

Squarepusher!

Wed. 1/6/10 2:07pm LizGig:

Maria, I have not yet told you this year that you're my favourite DJ ever.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:09pm mria:

aawwwrrrrrr gee shucks yer
too kind

Wed. 1/6/10 2:19pm Mo:

This "Motown Meltdown" -- it is awesome.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:20pm Matthew in Stroud, UK:

This is such great music to sit at my desk and work to! Really lovely sequence. The Blanketship track is something I'll have to chase up, and I'll have to listen to the archive for the Joseph Spence track that I missed. And the Bohannon... But it's getting near suppertime at the end of a long day ... must go and stick curry in oven.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:24pm Cecile:

How is that Larry Levan disc? I've been curious about it.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:28pm andrew:

is this not "paradise" by change?

Wed. 1/6/10 2:28pm Helpful Link:

motown meltdown is still available for free from Gigante Sound:

Wed. 1/6/10 2:30pm Cecile:

Wed. 1/6/10 2:30pm maria:

Wed. 1/6/10 2:31pm andrew:

Wed. 1/6/10 2:32pm Mo:

Wed. 1/6/10 2:33pm trs:

Thanks for the music.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:34pm Bad Ronald:

Thanks helpful, I am Melted!

Wed. 1/6/10 2:35pm annie:

where are the good speakers when you want them?

Wed. 1/6/10 2:35pm James Earl Jones:

I'm right over here.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:36pm Cecile:

We need to start a Soul Train line on the internets.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:39pm AnAnonymousParty:

Poppin bass, check. waka-cho-waka guitar, check. Yep, it's gettin' funky in here.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:42pm Cecile:

I haven't heard the verb "sexilate" in quite a while.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:43pm annie:

cecile, did you see the eternal moonwalk on youtube right after mj passed?? it is soo cool. i'm sure something like that can be put together

Wed. 1/6/10 2:45pm Cecile:

I should see that. That sounds awesome.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:48pm annie:

i'll try to find it and send it your way via email.

Wed. 1/6/10 2:50pm annie:

awesome, here it is pretty easy to google too
http://www.eternalmoonwalk.com/

Wed. 1/6/10 2:53pm annie:

it's easy to watch against maria's music too...

Wed. 1/6/10 2:56pm Cecile:

that is awesome, annie!

Wed. 1/6/10 2:58pm north guinea hills:

I'm not sure how I've missed this version from Third World.... haha

Wed. 1/13/10 1:32pm Henry:

Oh Ms. Maria! Third World is taking me back to my high school job at Disc Records at the mall in Cleveland Heights. A scant few years before I met you. Formative stuff. Now you just have to play What You Won't Do For Love to make the reverie complete. Plus many bong hits. Hope you're well. Henry T
