Billy Jam:
For this special Irish edition of Put The Needle On The Record I will be joined by Ireland's premiere punk-poet Jinx Lennon - down from Dundalk - as we wander the streets of Dublin's city centre playing music sets and stopping at various points along the way - starting off in Parnell Square near the Garden Of Remembrance and ending up in a pub over on the South Side of the City Centre - with a stop at All City (store and label HQ) in the Temple Bar district just over the Halfpenny Bridge (so named coz it used to cost half a penny toll to cross the River Liffey over this historic pedestrian bridge) - at least that's the plan. Jinx will do some spoken word pieces, and to chat about music and life and in the current post-Celtic Tiger (aka Septic Tiger) Ireland. Our main man here in Dublin - Tall Paul Lowe is also here helping out with this remote behind the scenes doing playlist/comments monitoring. | |

Billy Tech Jam:
What makes this particular broadcast unique is that it is being done exclusively via a prototype of the forthcoming iLine app - kind of like the TieLine unit that we normally use for WFMU remotes (like the one last week in Dusseldorf, or the one Ken and Andy will do next week in Upright Citizens Brigade in Manhattan or the Primavera Festival in Barcelona remote in May that the station will do). This one is an all wireless/battery operated broadcast - giving us freedom of mobility - done thanks to a prototype of the new iLine app (based on the traditional, albeit now archaic, TieLine technology) and is being done on only an iPhone utilizing the iLine and a few other apps including the Tap DJ app to play the mp3s off of. They should sound clear so long as our phone signal (thanks to Eirecom for their help with this) remains steady. But still the mic and some parts may be a little rough and ready sounding , esp since we have no real time monitor of the live signal. So Amanda, who is back in the WFMU studios doing board-op, if you can post comments on the accuplaylist (which we can see and access obviously) to let us know if the levels or anything are off .Thanks. Tall Paul, who is here also, will monitor the comments and playlist & pics. | |

Linguistically relevant, though not geographically: At Bike Week in Laconia, NH, a few years ago, I saw a t-shirt among the thousands for sale that said something close to this: "Fuck off you fucking fucker." Wondered who would buy it and wear it. A short time later, I saw someone in the crowd wearing it -- a girl who looked not older than 15-16, who seemed to be with her family. | |

I just remarked to a co-worker about how ya see the infamous "Fuck You, You Fucking Fuck" T-shirt sold in some parts of NYC like on St. Marks Pl., alongside other shirts that make light of New Yorkers' supposed profane tendencies, but nobody ever seems to buy it and wear it. | |

There are ongoing discussions among American performers of Irish plays and writers I work with about whether the ever-present "feck" and "feckin'" is just a slightly reduced-impact alt. pronunciation for fuck, or it's an entirely different term, of different derivation, that just happens to work out as the equivalent in usage. Who's got the final feckin' word on it? | |

THANK-YOUs To Jinx Lennon and the people & the sounds from the streets of Dublin. To Tall Paul for being producer Irish-side. Thanks to Jimmy Penguin and Nozl Recordings and Vince Mackmahon crew for all the new music. Also thanks to Ri Ra and Captain Moonlight for their new tracks. Thanks to OB at All City store/record label. Thanks to the designers of the iLine App to allow us to test out their prototype today which enabled us to broadcast as we wandered round the streets of the Irish capital. Special thanks to Eirecom for their assistance in getting and maintaining our signal for the past 3 hours. Thanks to the folks at WFMU including Bryce and Andy & Frangry, Amanda for board-op'ing, Scott Williams for tech support, Liz Berg for online promotion support, Ken Freedman for his never ending support, and you the WFMU listener for tuning in. Next week April 8th I will be back in the WFMU Jersey City studios when my guests will be artist AZEEM and author DAN CHARNAS and the topic will be "How golden was the golden age of hip-hop?" In two weeks time, April 15th, I will take the show back out on the road - but not too far afield - over to Brooklyn New York to the studios of hip-hip label Modern Shark.
