|
Sat. 1/1/11 3:52am

Yep. We run our programming schedules on EST, so I'm in 2 time zones at once! It's always an adventure to exist in vampire hours.... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 3:53am
Steve:
Who didn't Dylan influence? | |
|

|
Sat. 1/1/11 3:56am

|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:08am
Mike:
You should definitely toast the Hopper! He died while I was in Portugal. 'Twas all over the news. Dennis Hopper certainly lived a full, interesting life! Cheers! | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:12am
pingarina:
meeoww. Hey, are you from the DelMarVa orbit? Just curious. Love the show, man | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:14am
Mike:
Say Bill, I just realized we have 3 special dates this year: today 1/1/11, 11/1/11, and of course the goocher 11/11/11... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:15am
Bill Mac:
Hoppers is a career that totally eluded me.... and he never stooped to franchisey levels a la Fokkers | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:17am
michael:
Happy new year Bill from Germany..., crazy pictures in the playlist... ! 50`s or 40`s i`m not shure ? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:18am
Bill Mac:
Nah, I hail from South Jersey actually... forgot there was a tri-fecta of dates made entirely of ones | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:19am
Bill Mac:
Michael!!!! my assistant is hanging pics whilst I wail... happy belated new year to you and the family! | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:20am
pingarina:
Ok, I was close. The accent 'n all | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:22am
pingarina:
Why'd Dennis Hopper's career elude youse? Not your cup a tea? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:23am
Bill Mac:
Close for sure, most north easterners sound the same but they all have there distinct dialects | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:27am
Bill Mac:
Hopper was a 1/2 generation older than me, so I missed all the hippie-cycle stuff when it originally came out. I do like him in movies I have seen him in. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:30am
Mike:
"Heineken?!? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!" - Dennis Hopper from David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" | |

This show is very good in my opinion. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:34am
Madi H:
I recommend Out Of The Blue, Hopper movie w/ Linda Manz. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:34am
Bill Mac:
Glad you were quoting Mike... I had two Heiney's tonite... I thought you were psychic... and a little foul mouthed too! I did see Blue Velvet, deserves a revisit | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:36am
Mike:
Who says I'm not psychic or foul-mouthed, Bill? :-) | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:38am
pingarina:
Well said. I was also a bébé when he was at the peak of his wave. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:40am
Madi H:
Out of the Blue Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgR_LUmf4vs Thought I'd reinforce my approval of all of the above. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:41am
Mike:
;-) sorry Bill!! I'm totally joking! Just being silly! I just dig the banter at this hour. WFMU shows always make me feel like I'm right there with ya! | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:43am
Bill Mac:
Likewise Man! when the talk is flowing just right this time o night it makes the entire radio experience more satisfying for me. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:43am

A top 40 show in an alternate universe | |

Bill Mac:
Tommy Roe had a few good ones back when dinosaurs walked the earth... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:49am
Mike:
Tommy Roe vs. Wade was a good one, too. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:51am
Bill Mac:
I feel a rimshot coming on... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:52am
cherrypicker:
There is some pop music that i find unlistenable, and I get sick before I get to the good tracks. Since he used songwriters, maybe I can find the good Tommy Roe ones that way. (rimshot) | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:53am
pingarina:
whoo, is it hot in here, or is it just me? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:53am
Mike:
Tommy Roe your boat ashore... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:54am
Psychic2:
I'm guessing pingarina is hot. another rimshot | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:56am
Bill Mac:
There's a lot of chaff on the old iPod, Took awhile for me to find these and hang them together... is it hot or what? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:56am
Mike:
There's your psychic, Bill! I mean, that's his name even!!! (No hatin' here, Psychic2. Just funnin' on an earlier joke) | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 4:56am
pingarina:
ouaf! maybe just too much champagne and caviar | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:03am
Psychic Heiniemeister:
What's all this I hear about Pabsts, which you can't even pronounce. Then I'm hearing about champagne, which everyone knows makes one bilious. My spidey sense says we all will get out of our chairs and dance around for this song. I'm never wrong. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:05am
pingarina:
::sigh:: I always wanted one of them giant-size Champagne coupes to play in. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:06am
Bill Mac:
I fell out of one of them once... no picnic | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:09am
Trevor Jones:
New to WFMU. Grateful forever for your bringing me Amen Dunes via the live session through the FMA. Just got your app on but the stream keeps skipping... arghhh! Howlin' Wolf cut off and on in his prime... What gives? Lovin' the show though!! | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:11am
Gratuitous Advicemeister:
Trevor can download the archives. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:13am
Bill Mac:
Morning Trev.... Icheck some of the other streaming options, might be one that's more compatible with your computer... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:15am
Larry:
Are you compatible, Bill???? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:15am
Bill Mac:
Oh you have the app for iPhone.... yeah, not sure about how to handle that. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:16am
Bill Mac:
Should I be covering something Larry? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:16am
Trevor Jones:
Not sure what you mean GA. I'm listening live on Iphone 4 in dear old blighty. I'm a brit listner - at 10.13am. It's flipping like a skippin record. Maybe i should try streaming at a lower quality - 32 instead of 128. I'll give it a go. Your skipping sounds is better than most any other anyhow. Cheery New Year to you all. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:18am
Larry:
You're covering everything, Bill. I just hope you're not naked in the booth there. 2 heinekens?? Yes, maybe you are. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:21am
pingarina:
So what? Long as he don't catch cold | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:21am
Steve:
Ray Collins makes my day, along with the nifty rhythm section | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:22am
pingarina:
Never got Frank Z..... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:22am
Bill Mac:
Thanks so much for shifting the conversation away from my drunken nakedness... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:24am
Larry:
See!!! I told you so! The dj is naked. Get the shotgun out, we're goin' a huntin' | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:24am
Bill Mac:
FZ is definitely an acquired taste, but wasn't he part of the typical teenage stoner uniform back in the 70s? | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:24am
Trevor Jones:
Last time I heard 'Im not satisfied' on radio was some 15 years ago. On John Peel show here in UK. Nice reminder... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:26am
Trevor Jones:
Nancy Sinatra. That calls for some Lee Hazlewood, surely... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:26am
Bill Mac:
Most of his early stuff was fairly consistent.... in the 80s the material got pretty sterile | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:27am
pingarina:
yeah. just not my uniform. he was a fave with the really, deeply weird boys | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:28am
Bill Mac:
Hmmmm.... we debated on whether on not to play a Sinatra/Hazlewood tune tonight.... let's see... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:28am
pingarina:
not that I didn't secretly love those boys... ya know | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:29am
Trevor Jones:
Some Velvet Morning... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:30am
Bill Mac:
just a bunch of idiots with zappa cache.... didn't work for most of us.... snif... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:32am
Steve:
Here is a live Zaapa show from 1967. Part of my admiration is that rock was a way to make some commentary on the extemes of the time. http://snipurl.com/zappastockholm1967 (84 MB) | |
|

pingarina:
Army jacket-wearin, jew-fro-ed, super-smart boychicks. I was just too shy. And a punk rocker | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:34am
Bill Mac:
Oh so you liked the cool geeks.... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:35am
pingarina:
::shudder: yeth | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:35am
Bill Mac:
Thanks for the Zappa post Steve... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:36am
Bill Mac:
I KNEW those guys!!! | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:38am
Trevor Jones:
Awww. Thanks for that. First time online with WFMU and you play my suggestion. Hazlewood - no other like him. Regarding Zappa, I always preferred it whe he Shut up and played his guitar.... | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:40am
Steve:
I swear I could be a romantic with enough Brenda Lee songs | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:41am
Bill Mac:
I don't hafta be coaxed too hard to get some Lee Hazlewood on... post 70s material would generally include 3 gems per album in my opinion. | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:42am
Bill Mac:
I wish the Paris Sisters had more songs about pie | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:43am
pingarina:
I wish I had me some pie | |
|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:47am

|
Sat. 1/1/11 5:51am
Bill Mac:

Happy new decade and stuff. The Best Coast sends much love to WFMU land and Zzzzzero Hour. Keep it rocking in the new year. The music stays on, I go sleep now... | |
