Meghan:
Good Morning (afternoon for you!) Andy! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:04am
Chuck:
Morning! It was possible I would miss today's show. Just got back from another LI trip about 3 hours ago. No sleep. So, Andy, no need to shout at me, I've been up since yesterday. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:05am
Andy in Berlin:
sorry, couldn't resist | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:06am
Chuck:
Haven't been awake for over 24 hours in years. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:07am
Meghan:
hehe..... Chuck you should have just crashed at my place! Been on the air with me! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:08am
Chuck:
Would have loved to! After over 12 hours of work don't know how much good I've been. I like to bring music too. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:09am
Meghan:
You wouldn't have had to do anything.... just drink coffee and talk on air.... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:10am
Dave B:
Hail Hail, the gang's all here! I only wen't to sleep about 3 hours ago. In the middle of a SOX audit at work. Thanks Martha Stewart. Your creative email editing made this all possible | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:11am
Chuck:
What's the most fun about doing the show? Playing the music!!! I always come well armed when I guest at VKR. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:13am
Meghan:
Yeah, but you must remember, I have a tight theme to stick to.... and time restraint! Hey there Dave! Chuck and I have dealt with Martha before.... she is a pain! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:14am
Chuck:
Especially when she's got a film crew with her, Meg. hehe... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:15am
Meghan:
yep! she regulates what they eat! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:15am
Chuck:
Do you have the footage of when we were on her show, Meghan? I lent my copy to a friend and she lost the tape. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:20am
Dave B:
heh. it's her and Enron and other creative book keeping practices that brought about Sarbanes Oxley act that make my life hell every three months. But I digress, and will use the next 2.5 hours to get that out of my mind. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:21am
Meghan:
I don't unfortunately. It was on the Tallix website, but now that is gone.... I just remember them saying to me... Splash BIG! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:23am
Chuck:
Yes, I remember! Duh, that is NOT how it's done people! All for the sake of "drama". Preposterous! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:23am
Dave B:
On a lighter note - tis album (Look Sharp) classic. Start to finish | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:24am
Andy in Berlin:
I just had a big forehead-slapping moment - it never occurred to me to mention Sammy Davis singing What Kind Of Fool Am I. Hopefully you were thinking faster than me and included that in the cheese section. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:25am
Chuck:
You couldn't be more correct, Dave! Not a bad song on it, as I like to say. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:26am
Meghan:
Andy lots of head slapping.... I didn't! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:27am
Dave B:
Sammy is one cool cat, Andy. And I mean it! And I never heard The House of Love. Vocalist kinda reminded me of Simple Minds. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:29am
Meghan:
Oh really? I was totally in LOVE with them in the late 80's. Picked up a lot of their stuff when I was in Germany! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:33am
Dave B:
if that song was a good example, then I can understand why. Will seek out more. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:35am
Meghan:
I can zip them up for you.... no worries | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:39am
Dave B:
W00T! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:43am
Chuck:
Going past Spring directly to Summer has happened before, Meg. Just a few years ago, in fact. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:44am
Dave B:
Last weekend up on Lake George the 'skeeters were out. FREAKIN 'SKEETERS, and it's only April. Peepers were out peeping away too! WtF?!? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:46am
Meghan:
wow.... that sucks! No relief from those nasty things... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:46am
Chuck:
I think all the rain before the warm spell helped wake up the parasites, Dave. We all HATE 'em! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:49am
Dave B:
oh, and my brother's house has an invasion swarm of Ladybird bugs too... Like that "Brood X" cicada awakening a few years ago. Thousands of little red w/black spot blips crawling all over the walls... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:51am
Chuck:
Got quite a few of those here as well, Dave. I'm waiting for the Japanese beetle invasion beginning of June. They are EVERYWHERE the past 2 years! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:52am
Meghan:
Ladybird? never heard of them | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:53am
Chuck:
Could be time for bug theme soon, Meghan! Dave means Lady Bugs, but with their official name. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:55am

|
Thu. 4/8/10 6:58am
Dave B:

Thu. 4/8/10 7:01am
Chuck:
Woah! Sheep for Father's Day? You've got a sarcastic streak a mile wide, Meg! HA! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:02am

|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:03am
herr perkins:
fool me once shame on ..... you? but fool me can't get fooled again! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:03am
Andy in Berlin:
Sheep for Fathers Day - what am I missing here? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:03am
kath:
maybe ya can squeeze it in! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:03am
Chuck:
Gotta pop out to release the pooches I'm watching. Back soon... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:04am
Meghan:
ohhh brew fest! sweet! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:04am
Dave B:
that shoulda been "greets" not "grets" - hit me up direct on that Kath. I think the prospect of grilled pork confused me... Chuck - when you mentioned Japanese Beetle Invasion, I thought of those "Group Sound" bands from the 60's like the Jaguars etc. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:06am
Dave B:
For the crew fest: Use the code Thrill10 to get the discounted advanced entry pass which includes early admittance and transport to and from the island | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:07am
kath:
aye, gothca, check your FB inbox- sent ya an invite over the break. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:08am
kath:
'grets I got a plenty. I'll happily take those greets tho! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:09am
Dave B:
Man am I spazzing out with the typing today. "Crew fest" = "Brew fest" sheesh. I'm gonna kick back, listen and caffinate a little | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:11am
kath:
and not like ya don't have that second chance to make corrections either, he he. The math quiz has got me flummoxed this am! I thought that was the Japanese Beetle invasion was that also. Oh, Meg, you played the Bush-Blunder! Beauty!!! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:12am
Meghan:
It was too perfect before this song... I had to! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:14am
kath:
oh this is sweet. I have over thirty minutes of uninterrupted listening and coffee sipping time ahead, before I have to roll. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:16am
Dave B:
I've got my fingers crossed for Foghat! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:17am
Parq:
On the bus. Hi, gang. Those Obama sound bites just aren't the same, are they? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:17am
Meghan:
ha! I had over 12 hours of music.... and I still forgot stuff in the lineup! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:19am
Dave B:
what up Parq more on the Japanese GS invasion, for those interested: http://www.thevideobeat.com/group-sounds-gs-60s-japanese-garage-rock.htm | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:20am
Meghan:
Morning Parq! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:28am
kath:
So is Zappa like Rush, theoretically?? I guess it's my masculine side that loves both! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:30am
Dave B:
We'll need Jeff to judge that. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:31am
Meghan:
I know more women that like Zappa over Rush | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:33am
Chuck:
Back. Wish I understood why Rush ends up a topic of every UWTP show. Much as I love them. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:35am
kath:
sorry - it was the Zappa question really, but yeah, I am to blame! Oh gosh, Bob & Ray! Haven't heard them in ages!!! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:36am
Dave B:
think of Rush as Meghan's "Amanda" for the moment. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:37am
Chuck:
"Amanda", Dave??? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:37am
Meghan:
Oh god no.... please don't compare Amanda and Rush.... they ar3 BOTH bad! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:38am
Meghan:
During the marathon, if you were doing work in the prize closet, and Irwin's show was on, you thought Amanda was behind the boxes! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:38am
Dave B:
Check out Irwin's show (Wednesday afternoon) and his Marathon premium. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:40am
Dave B:
Amanda has caused a number of coffee nasal douchings at work. It's so horrible, its great! My colleagues think I'm strange | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:41am
Chuck:
So she's some kind of crap-tastic pop artist? Glad I didn't know about her. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:41am
Parq:
I'm with Chuck; I can't believe we're back to Rush *again*. Say, I wish I'd thought of Mr T's "Be Somebody Or Be Somebody's Fool". Although, now that I think of it, that was the album title, and I don't know if there was a track with that name. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:41am
Meghan:
Dave you are strange.... hehe Chuck, think coffee smoking throaty voice screaming child from Alabama | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:42am
Dave B:
a 10 yr old kid doing "Musique concrete" | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:43am
Chuck:
Still not ringing a bell. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I'll never pay any attention to that kind of stuff. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:45am
Dave B:
OK - changing gears then... Decca Originals - The Freakbeat Scene and The Mod Scene collections. I'll guess you have them Chuck? If not let me know. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:47am
Chuck:
I'll let you know, Dave! I've got so much I sometimes forget what I have. It's that Rapid Share thing... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:48am
herr perkins:
rules are good | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:49am
kath:
Dave, I am putting together my 'spring collection'. If you have anything that you think I may like that fits the bill, send, send, send... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:50am
Meghan:
Danke Herr Perkins! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:51am
kath:
Time to wake the child; bye guys, have a great week! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:53am
Chuck:
Ta, Kath! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:53am
Charcutero:
Hi Meghan! Sooooo Where's Def Leppard's Foolin? ;) | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 7:56am
Meghan:
Morning Char! You are the second person to ask! I didn't even THINK of that one! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:02am
Chuck:
Having too much is good! Having to decide what to cut is bad. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:04am
Parq:
Not for nothing, but "Chain of Fools" could have been a part of your "best bass lines" show. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:07am
Meghan:
Well Chuck, since I don't have a unlimited time radio show... so there is always cuts! And Chain of Fools STILL could be part of the bass lines show! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:09am
Chuck:
I know, I know, Meg. It is painful though. And I think you'll find more than a couple of soul songs with terrific bass lines! When's the vote up? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:12am
Meghan:
I worked all weekend, so I never got to post up the finalists.... I will try to get that out this week..... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:16am
Chuck:
Should be okay. You haven't nailed down the date of the bass theme after all. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:16am
Andy in Berlin:
is this bass line thing based on voting on the facebook page or are you going to do a bass line show and we can choose from that? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:18am
Parq:
@Chuck, 8:09: You said it! How 'bout Stevie W's "I Was Made to Love Her"? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:19am
Dave B:
Can you provide a link for the Garage Punk post? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:22am
Andy in Berlin:
Forehead slapping moment part 2: She's A Fool by Leslie Gore | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:23am
elwyn:
Wow. You had potentially5 Arethra songs but there's no token Rush song. I'm impressed. :-) | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:23am
Meghan:
HAD that one Andy! just didn't make the cut.... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:23am
Chuck:
Sorry, stepped out of the room for a moment. Who is your query directed at, Dave? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:24am
Andy in Berlin:
Bad enough that I forgot it, but you gonged it?! Sheesh! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:26am
Dave B:
Oh, didn't think of that. I was wandering about, and heard Ms. Meghan mention some other link over on GaragePunk.com for the bass line thing-a-ma-bob... I'm hoping some of my classic disco suggestions made the cut. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:26am
Meghan:
it happens.... i know! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:26am
elwyn:
PS Dang! I always get home too late to hear the 90s/00s set. I'm glad a few from my list made it! PPS I first heard of WFMU from Yo La Tengo fandom | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:26am
Meghan:
Every suggestion made the cut.... now you have to bring it to the final 10 for YOU | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:27am
Andy in Berlin:
Just for that - - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CLd1h8N0g8&feature=related Just goes to show it CAN happen in this workaday world of ours | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:27am
Dave B:
heh. This is gonna be fun. Morning Elwyn. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:28am
Meghan:

Thu. 4/8/10 8:29am
Barry:
Fools Gold....The Stone Roses..... | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:30am
Chuck:
I'm willing to bet Meghan is on top of that one, Barry. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:30am
Meghan:
oh it's coming Barry... no worries! Can't miss out on that one! http://garagepunk.ning.com/ | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:31am

hi meghan, nice show; you're no april fool! lovely springtime weather here on the uk south coast. bring on the roses! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:32am
elwyn:
Hey gang. It's 10:30 pm here and I'm having dinner. :-) Does the prominence of fools in 50s and 60s song indicate that people were more foolish back then? Of course, George W Bush outdoes them all! | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:32am
Dave B:
Thanks Meghan! I'll take an educated guess that the Korean pop group "Wonder Girls" doing "This Fool" didn't make it this time, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfF_XP8v4QE | |

Regarding weird news of the day: "Welfare mothers make better lovers" - Neil Young That's something Paul should consider when choosing his next significant other. | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:35am
Meghan:
Doesn't fit in this set.... I had another Clover's song, but didn't make the cut.... You missed that one Jeff! | |

Steve May:
Hi from London! Lovely show but PLEASE don't buy into the foolish Daily Mail's ridiculous unrepresentative right wing rants re. welfare mothers etc. It's a horrible, horrible news rag! (OK rant over) x | |

As your adopter, can I ask the radio show gods for more Shatner content? | |
|
Thu. 4/8/10 8:42am
Meghan:
HA! Well that is why it's the News of the WEIRD Steve! Julie, I actually HAD that song in my mess of songs... just didn't make the cut HA! I don't have any Shatner actually.... | |
