Thu. 1/28/10 6:02am Chuck:

Morning! Swing yer partner...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:03am Meghan:

Morning!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:05am Chuck:

Sorry, I zoned out on sending you songs for this week. I had a cold for a good portion of last week and it's thrown me off....

Thu. 1/28/10 6:08am Meghan:

I overwhelmed myself with this theme! That and trying to correct a bunch of iTunes crap as well....

Thu. 1/28/10 6:09am Chuck:

Correct? Mislablings or something? I get that with downloaded songs...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:10am Dave B:

gooood morning! And a dosey d'od yer pard'ner

Thu. 1/28/10 6:11am Meghan:

No, the library says it's not there though it is.... so all the ! signs have to be refound... it's wicked annoying....

Morning Dave!!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:11am Dave B:

d'od?

meant D'OH!

D'OH!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:12am Chuck:

HowwwwwDEE, Dave!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:14am Dave B:

howdee Chuck and Miss Meghan.

The grey exclamation of death. a true P.I.T.A.

Thu. 1/28/10 6:15am Chuck:

Did you move stuff around, Meg? Only way I know that can happen... I know you didn't delete anything...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:15am Meghan:

hehe... it truly is! That and I was getting a little OCD about it too. I have a ton! Stupid exclamation mark....

Thu. 1/28/10 6:17am Meghan:

Nope, it just does it. I have no clue why. Maybe if my external hard drive gets unplugged by accident... no clue. It's just a bastard

Thu. 1/28/10 6:18am Chuck:

Mmm chitlins... *gag*

Well, as long as the problem gets fixed....

Thu. 1/28/10 6:20am Dave B:

That'll do it!

It'll usually happen if/when iTunes is set to store music externally and is quit without the drive being available. It'll revert to the internal drive...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:21am Dave B:

monumental instrumentals!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:29am Chuck:

Speaking of annoying... Just discovered the rubber level in a mold I poured yesterday dropped below the spout... Have to mix a stinkin' 1/2 lb. to top off and wait to open... GRRRR!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:30am Meghan:

Ugh.... no leakage though right?

Thu. 1/28/10 6:32am Chuck:

No, fortunately... Some of that yesterday, too many screw holes in the mounting board... Time to retire that board.

Thu. 1/28/10 6:39am Chuck:

Cool! You could probably do a whole show of just ethnic insturmentals... I'm diggin' it!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:41am Meghan:

I am itching to do an all African show. Since being at the station, I have totally fallen in love with African music from the 70's

Thu. 1/28/10 6:44am Maestroso:

G'morning Meghan!
Intrumentals! I've been looking forward to this episode.

Thu. 1/28/10 6:48am Meghan:

Good Morning Maestroso! Well, I hope I do well by your standards!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:49am Parq:

Hi, Miss M. Ade, as in Sunni, is pronounced "AH-day", not "Aid". I got to see him live a couple of times in the 80s. Spectacular show.

Thu. 1/28/10 6:50am Meghan:

Ahhh Thanks Parq! My first time on the air, I had to announce Ethiopian names... I know I was messing those up left and right! Thanks for the tip!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:50am Andy in Berlin:

Hi Meghan,
this song reminds me I should have suggested the theme from Merry Christmas Mister Lawrence by Rioichi Sakamoto. oh well...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:52am Meghan:

Hello there Andy! I will add it to my list of things to look for! This theme will of course get played again!

Thu. 1/28/10 6:54am Maestroso:

Saltarello! Nice. Lots of stuff like this from the Dufay Collective.

Thu. 1/28/10 6:55am Dave B:

Wanted to ask the gang here... what are some of your favorite online resources/wiki/databases for searching out music info?

Thu. 1/28/10 6:58am Meghan:

If I am looking for labels or the such, I go to allmusic. Other than that google, google blog search, etc. There are some GREAT blogs that have rare stuff as MP3's...

Thu. 1/28/10 6:58am Chuck:

I generally just go to AllMusic... Their database if far from complete though... I don't find what I'm looking for sometimes...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:00am Parq:

Dave, FMU correspondent Resident Clinton did a great, massive two-part omnibus post on great music blogs. Here's the link for part two, which itself has a link to part one. Enjoy!

http://tinyurl.com/mptruff

Thu. 1/28/10 7:02am Dave B:

I knew I could count on this community. Thanks all!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:03am Chuck:

Yeah, it's the rare/obscure that's difficult to dig up info on...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:03am Andy in Berlin:

Boy SOMEbody's been listening to a lot of Steve Reich...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:06am Dave B:

indeed chuck... indeed.

It is Reich-y, and I thought it was he. Reich turned me on to listening to gamelan music.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:07am Chuck:

I'll have to remember to send you some Steve Morse for the next instrumental edition, Meghan... Wicked great guitar player!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:08am Meghan:

Hmmmm, I have never listened to Steve Reich.... but if it is like this.... I just may have to START! This is one of the many reasons you all rock! Keeping me on my toes and expanding musical library!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:11am Chuck:

I've got Reich's "The Desert Music" on vinyl... I'll record it and send it out to you...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:12am Meghan:

Oh Chuck, I uploaded Felt for you..... it's on Mediafire. I'll send you the link!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:13am Chuck:

Thanks, Meg! Looking forward to hearing the whole LP!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:15am claire:

bowie and whoever!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:16am Dave B:

I've got a few tracks from "Reich Remixed" and I'll drop that up.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:19am Meghan:

Lots of Love for Bowie! Will have to now find the best one!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:21am jen:

I like your show!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:22am Meghan:

Thanks Jen!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:23am Dave B:

Bowie and Cher - Young Americans...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z9b0GFRz9g

Thu. 1/28/10 7:23am Meghan:

I think that was the same one Andy requested last week! That may have to be the one.... It's a long medley though!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:29am Chuck:

Hope everyones got thier sunglasses on in the smokey jazz bar... It's almost a requirement... hehe...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:30am Billy Jam:

morning Meghan - finally up early enough (NYC time) on a Thursday morn to catch your show live. Nice!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:30am Dave B:

skoodlee ah, wah wah wah...

Hotlips Hoolihan.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:30am Chuck:

Ah! A Mingus a-mung-us!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:31am Meghan:

Morning Billy! You on the West Coast still? You are traveling everywhere lately!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:33am Dave B:

Bowie and Marianne Faithful -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zonxzIDNvgE

Thu. 1/28/10 7:37am Parq:

Turning it up!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:38am Parq:

What the heck is cheesy about Classical Gas??

Thu. 1/28/10 7:38am Meghan:

Ha! This is Parq's RAWK set.... hehe

Thu. 1/28/10 7:39am Meghan:

Nothing is fully cheesy about it.... that is just the category it had to fall in!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:40am Parq:

Megs, have you ever seen the film to accompany CG (decades before "videos")? It's a montage of classical art, blinking from one to another at an incredibly fast rate. I remember being fascinated by it.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:41am Dave B:

IMHO - something like THIS (taste o'honey) is a TUNE, as it will be stuck in my head ALL DAY!

That's the difference between instrumentals and tunes.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:44am Meghan:

Hmmm, I have seen an art on that morphs... but i am not sure if I have seen the one you mention.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:44am Dave B:

HA!

And the "Benny Hillifier" for your entertainment. Put this song to your favoritre YouTube videos!

http://bennyhillifier.com/

Thu. 1/28/10 7:45am Chuck:

I'd classify a tune as something with a dissernable melody... Instumentals don't necessarily have one, like in a lot of avante garde jazz...

Thu. 1/28/10 7:48am Dave B:

@parq - sounds sort of like Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" VHS/VCD...

I screwed up a TV by leaving it on its side, just so I could enjoy that piece. This was back in the CRT days, and it got all gauss'd up. The rainbow in the corner never went away

Thu. 1/28/10 7:48am Katherine:

Hey all...definitely the most accessible show for me so far, especially in the morning!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:49am Billy Jam:

no back on the East Coast now so will be in the WFMU studios tomorrow live doing the radio show with contestants from the Hip-Hop Karaoke Championships among the guests joining me on air. Should be a bit of fun....>>>speaking of which I like your show Meghan and will make a point of tuning in more regularly....bye for now!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:49am Meghan:

Good Morning Katherine!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:50am Katherine:

Holy memories of roller skating rinks!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:51am Dave B:

ha... check the video I posted on the UWTP facebook page! Wickedly pungent cheese!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:54am michael:

wow! that Little Red Monkey was fabulous! I'd love to have a whole cd of that.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi....Do you have room for Surfing With The Alien from Joe Satriani? I saw him open for Stevie Ray Vaughn on Pier 62 (?) back in the 80's. One of the handful of big concerts I've attended.

Thu. 1/28/10 7:57am Parq:

Turning it up even more!

Thu. 1/28/10 7:59am Dave B:

push it to 11

Thu. 1/28/10 8:01am Parq:

Gotta step out for a bit. Hate to think what I'm gonna miss.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:01am PKNY:

Walked into work, got hit with the MGs and the Meters...now *that's* a way to start a day!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:03am Meghan:

Ken, just looked on our system up here and no song! Not near the library (on second floor and I am on 4th!) I'll put it in the list of next time! There will be a next time!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:04am jeff p:

dang it, I missed yakety sax and green onions!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:05am Meghan:

Awwww... I saved the "Rawk" set for you .... and you didn't miss your requests!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:05am Dave B:

thanks for getting this one on Miss Meghan!
;-)

Thu. 1/28/10 8:07am Meghan:

Had to! It fit so well! Hell, so did the others... just had to make dumb cuts somewhere... ugh!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:08am gumby:

I may just have to say Meaghan that this is the perfect set.. If I didn't already have all these songs I would immediately go and get them. Thanks for funkifyin' my mornin'

Thu. 1/28/10 8:09am gumby:

Sorry for the misspell there Meghan.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:10am Meghan:

You always need a good dose of Funk and Soul in your morning! Get's you moving! and if it doesn't.... then there is something seriously wrong with you!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:11am PKNY:

Apache! I might start windmilling in my office right now!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:12am jeff p:

YEAH! I feel like growing some pork shop sideburns!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:12am Chuck:

What's the head count for listeners today, Meg? Seems to be quite a few folks here... Yay!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:13am Meghan:

As of right now.....129

Thu. 1/28/10 8:18am Chuck:

Cool! And I think that's supposed to be Mutton chop sideburns, Jeff...... But, if you prefer pork then go for it.....

Thu. 1/28/10 8:18am Gjorgji:

we are starting the research.. great idea!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:20am Steve:

iirc, Ken played a one-word song yesterday ... "Groovy" by The Groovers

Thu. 1/28/10 8:21am Dave B:

Would "Soul Finger" count?

and FUGAZI! sweet!, my downstairs neighbor must LOVE me by now...

eph 'em!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:22am Meghan:

Oh nice..... starting the list! Keep them coming!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:23am Meghan:

Soul Finger was one that I was kinda thinking.... Yeah, two words....meh! I'll give some wiggle room!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:24am jeff p:

wipeout!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:25am Parq:

Back. God, how I remember blasting "Frankenstein" on the AM radio in my mom's car when I was in high school.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:26am gumby:

"Fried Kneckbones & some Homefries " is not one word, but it is one sweet thought!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:26am Andy in Berlin:

I just got back from the laundromat so I'm listening on delay. Nice work playing "Patrica"! Arguably a bad move not playing "Baby Elephant Walk" though. I see you played Apache but are you going to go all the way with Telstar and Penetration, Walk Don't Run etc? Can't decide it's a must or too worn out. Let's see. I'm listening to the past but watching the playlist.
P.S. I hate Frankenstein, but will defend to the death you're right to play it.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:27am Meghan:

WB Parq! What did you miss that you regret? Also, looking for one word or Phrase songs that they say one thing in the entire song....

Thu. 1/28/10 8:29am Stannerlee:

I love Frankenstein and I'll defend to the death your right to defend it to the death

Thu. 1/28/10 8:29am PKNY:

And thanks for playing Kiss!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:29am Chuck:

Sorry for the shameless plug of someone else's show, Meg, but....
I recommend that everyone give a listen to "The Orphanage of Rock & Roll" tonite at 6 on WVKR... That's www.wvkr.org for those of you not in the Mid-Hudson valley... Peter Clark does a great show of obscure/lost R&R and has one of the coolest radio voices to boot!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:31am Parq:

I juuust missed "Apache". Oh well. Trying to think of a good. non-obvious one-worder.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:32am Meghan:

it killed me to not play Baby Elephant Walk... I also had a great Quincy Jones song as well.

Be obvious! Sometimes those ARE the ones you miss!

I also played the Fried Neckbones song for my Breakfast theme... correct?

Thu. 1/28/10 8:32am Andy in Berlin:

I'm now up to Yakity Sax and am regretting that you didn't play "Pop Corn" or "The Typewriter".

And a one worder? "Raunchy"

Thu. 1/28/10 8:35am Jen in Balto:

Love you, Meghan!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:38am Chuck:

One word? "Intensify" by !!!...

Thu. 1/28/10 8:39am fishmonkeystew:

Surf's up!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:39am trent:

FUCK YES FUCK YES I LOVE THIS SONG ESP ON A SNOWY DAY

Thu. 1/28/10 8:42am jeff p:

Dang, i forgot "oscillate wildly" by the smiths

Thu. 1/28/10 8:43am Meghan:

I totally did too! That was the song I thought of in the shower this morning too!

Chuck, I think Intensify has more lyrics in it....though it is a great song...

Thu. 1/28/10 8:45am Dave B:

if there IS wiggle room, "Mildred Pierce" by Sonic Youth

Thu. 1/28/10 8:46am Andy in Berlin:

I think we missed "Cry For A Shadow" by the Beatles.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:47am Chuck:

Ooops... What are parameters for one worders again? I'm bouncing around a bit and may not have caught them...

Thu. 1/28/10 8:48am Dave B:

and this is a stretch -
"A Love Supreme" - Coltrane

Thu. 1/28/10 8:48am Meghan:

Like the Song Tequila, they yell it randomly once in the song.... or of the sort....

Thu. 1/28/10 8:49am Dave B:

do explitives count?

Thu. 1/28/10 8:50am Andy in Berlin:

Many James Brown songs could qualify then

Thu. 1/28/10 8:51am StevieD:

Another one for next time -- Surfing the Wild Gowanus by Simon and the Bar Sinisters.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:51am Meghan:

Oops! my bad! Had 2 things playing at once! Hit the wrong one!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:52am Meghan:

Dave, give me an example....

Thu. 1/28/10 8:52am Chuck:

Ok, gotcha! "Pennsylvania 6-5000" by Glen Miller...

Thu. 1/28/10 8:53am Parq:

@Dave B, I toyed with requesting "ALS" for this show.

Thu. 1/28/10 8:53am Meghan:

oh nice one Chuck!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:54am Dave B:

I know I have some track that's an instrumental where the only thing said is "shit" when the drummer screws up...

I gotta dig and think of it...

Thu. 1/28/10 8:56am Dave B:

@Parq... nice!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:57am Maestroso:

Great show Meghan!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:57am Andy in Berlin:

StevieD's suggestion made me think of Takeshi Terauchi and Bunnies which made me think of their record "let's go classic" which made me think what about doing a show of songs stolen from classical music. It's Now Or Never by Elvis (O Solo Mio) or Lover's Concerto, or "Night" by Jackie Wilson (from the opera Samson and Delila) or "Whiter Shade of Pale" fer god's sake!

Thu. 1/28/10 8:59am Meghan:

Thanks all! you Rock!

Thu. 1/28/10 11:36am Jeb:

Thanks for the play, Meghan. We are humbled by the artists that accompanied us within the set.

Thu. 1/28/10 12:00pm Dave:

Yes, thanks for playing Evil Farm Children...we are in very good company in that set...thanks a bunch!!!!

Thu. 1/28/10 2:33pm Jeb:

Oh, and for the record, the Evil Farm Children song is actually called Knuckle Duster. However, you can call it whatever you want, since you played it. Cheers.

Mon. 2/1/10 5:54pm Meghan:

GAH! My bad! I have it down as Duster too.... This is the issues with typing that early in the morning!
