Tue. 12/20/11 3:06am
Julie:
Gremlins! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:07am
Marmalade kitty:
Aha, I thought so! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:08am
Andrew:
Hi Julie, fred & Marmalade Kitty ^_^ wow, I heard this & thought it was someone else, her voice sounds so much like...someone from the 80s, i forget who. Also i thought that was Dum dum's Cristmas mewtal song, good start to the show! ^_^ Will the dwarf be on during the first break? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:09am
Marmalade kitty:
Am i the only one who loves "Black Christmas" 1974 "horror " with Margot Kidder | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:10am
Julie:
great cast in that movie! Andrea Martin from SCTV | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:11am
Julie:
The dwarf is bound and gagged my own special way to celebrate. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:12am
fred:
Good morning MK and Andrew | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:12am
Julie:
last year I did a whole Xmas set, this year I've just mixed it in, so don't get confused trying to figure out how a song is Christmasy :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:12am
Julie:
And hi Andrew! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:13am
Laurie:
Hey Julie!!!!!!!! Stopping in to say hi!!! xoxo Oh yay! I missed Carol of the Bells. That is my most hated Christmas Carol---unless it's done by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Otherwise, it makes me anxious. Curious to see what you have lined up for us tonight. :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:15am
Julie:
Laurie it was a metal version. And hi! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:15am
Marmalade kitty:
Good morning everyone! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:16am
Laurie:
Was it? Aw rats. I have to go listen to it in the archives then. You rock. Should've known that you wouldn't torture me. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:17am
Julie:
Any "real" christmas carols are not traditional versions, though I do have one tucked away that I may finish with. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:19am
Andrew:
Well, i was thinking this Godless track was a reference to the over commercialization of Christmas ^_^ Good song! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:22am
Laurie:
Feeling especially dark tonight, Julie? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:23am
fred:
@Andrew: over-commercialized? I didn't realize there anything non-commercial about Xmas. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:23am
Julie:
I like to keep the Xmas shows dark | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:27am
Laurie:
This current song playing reminds me of the soundtrack from Legend by Tangerine Dream. I used to paint to that soundtrack all the time in college. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:27am
Julie:
This is kind of mellow for them/her. And usually there are vocals | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:30am
Laurie:
Unfortunately, have to go, but I'm glad I got to stop in and visit for a bit. Hugs to you, Julie xo | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:31am
Julie:
Goodnight Laurie, have a nice Christmas! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:32am
Marmalade kitty:
any sign of the cd I posted, Julie? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:34am
Julie:
No, sorry MK :( | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:34am

Tue. 12/20/11 3:35am
Howard in PDX:
So happy to hear KRISTEEN YOUNG! And so happy to have found your show, Julie. I'm used to hearing you between Fabio and Clay, but I only recently realized you have your own show and how fantastic it is. I never miss it now, I LOVE it. Thank you! xo | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:35am
Julie:
hi there Howard! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:35am
siggi:
myself | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:35am
Julie:
wow Howard, thank you! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:38am
Howard in PDX:
I now blame you for the stack of CDs I still haven't listened to. There is only so much time, and I wanna listen to your show. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:38am
Julie:
ah that's an epidemic howard | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:39am
Marmalade kitty:
Julie, It's probably held up in the Christmas post. Hope you get it | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:40am

Tue. 12/20/11 3:52am

Haven't heard this Bee Gees track. Reminds me a bit of the start of Ruby Tuesday. I like it. Hi Dr Van Dee & Howard & siggi & bruce ^_^ | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:54am
Marmalade kitty:
just checked that Pink Floyd song, i'd never heard it.. Nick mason singing apparently? 1975 BBC radio broadcast.. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:54am
Julie:
Yep that was Nick. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:04am
Marmalade kitty:
Unreleased Pink Floyd material: pinkfloydhyperbase.dk/unreleased/index.html | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:05am
Julie:
You think Syd would have done a whole song about Figgy pudding or some such thing | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:06am
Marmalade kitty:
surely! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:07am
Andrew:
wow, I love this unwoman track. Never heard of them before. & the Emilie simon track. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:11am
Julie:
Y'all better be dancing | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:15am
Marmalade kitty:
Talking heads Duran Duran Depeche mode and Human League all in one???? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:16am
Julie:
@MK good band, isn't it? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:19am
Andrew:
I thought that was David Byrne singing at the start of that song. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:20am
Julie:
@Andrew I thought the same thing! Will have to look into him/them more | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:24am
Marmalade kitty:
just done a google image search for cave girl.. lol :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:28am
Dr Van Dee:
Cave girl as in the british TV show? I used to watch it constantly when I was at university... | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:29am
Andrew:
woohoo inkubus sukkubus ^_^ I love them, have listened to the live set so many times now. cave girl? I just looked & there's some weird images...one looks like a cartoon costume. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:37am
Julie:
That reminds me, I've done a little "greatest hits of live" on the FMA, I don't think it's featured, but search for Julieb on there you may find it | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:38am
Andrew:
hehe, doors christmas songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERS-P1xQLn8 | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:39am
Marmalade kitty:
I never saw the TV show, was it good :) I'm loving the Bunnymen! Been listening to them alot lately | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:40am
Julie:
Is that the Mario Cantone bit? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:40am
Julie:
Moody Blues did a whole Christmas album, but it's recent and not that great. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:42am
Marmalade kitty:
Riders on a sleigh! lol! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:43am
Dr Van Dee:
The TV show was appalling, it was notable only for the girls in skimpy cavewoman costumes. Amazing that the BBC ever commissioned it actually... | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:43am
Julie:
Do you really need more than that, Dr. Van Dee? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:45am
Dr Van Dee:
No, that's all I need. I actually have a DVD of it somewhere... | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:45am
Marmalade kitty:
Thats hilarious, Andrew!! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:46am
Julie:
I must see this | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:46am
Julie:
I assume it was on the coattails of the Raquel film | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:47am
jamesie:
Lou was OK then, in fact I admired him | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:47am
Matt from Springfield:
Hi Julie! LOVE this one, have you ever played it before? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:48am
Julie:
@Jamesie oh yes, great stuff. @Matt yes I have | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:48am
Julie:
and good morning to both of you, Matt & Jamesie (not wanting anyone to storm off this week) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:49am
fred:
Wouldn't "the gift" be more in tune with the season? Not a criticism by any means there, Julie, the thought just crossed my mind. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:50am
Julie:
@Fred didn't consider it, I just wanted to hear that one | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:51am
jamesie:
:) high there Julie xx | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:51am
Marmalade kitty:
genius simplistic VU | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:52am
fred:
@Julie: best reason there is | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:55am
fred:
OK, I'm outta here. For real. At the end of this track. Before the next one makes me even later. Thanks Julie! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:56am
Julie:
Goodnight Fred! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:56am
Marmalade kitty:
see ya, fred! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:56am
Matt from Springfield:
Oooh, NICE Mazzy Star! See ya later fred! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:58am
fred:
I'm off to work, not sleep. My boss should buy me an android so I can listen on my commute. That's the only way I'll check in earlier on Tuesdays. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:00am
Julie:
Yeah I was just about to correct that. Thanks for taking the time to come by. Merry Christmas! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:03am
Van in Dallas:
I think I'm still dreaming, but going back to sleep just to be sure. Wanted to say HI Julie and Dark Night listeners before I do though. Happy day to you all! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:04am
Andrew:
aw, missed a heap because my computer crashed (plus i was writing a huge email that is gone now O_Q) last I heard was Venus in furs..... cya fred | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:04am
Julie:
Hi Van! Bye Van! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:05am
Van in Dallas:
Archive, hear I come (in a few hours)! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:05am
Julie:
Aw Andrew you missed the BEST STUFF EVER, right guys? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:07am
Matt from Springfield:
Yeah! But, how convenient that the Archive computers are always more dependable than our personal ones! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:08am
Matt from Springfield:
You should have played this right after "You're Lost Little Girl", the chords sound the same. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:08am
Marmalade kitty:
Le Martien heavy breathing in right speaker! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:09am
Julie:
Yeah I guess I missed that. I love the sound of that Francoise song | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:10am
Matt from Springfield:
I'm looking up All About Eve's history--if this is '89, this is probably right before Marty Willson-Piper joined the lineup. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:10am
Marmalade kitty:
Matt, you type very swiftly :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:11am
Andrew:
are they Australian? he's from The Church | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:11am
Julie:
no, English | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:12am
Matt from Springfield:
Ha ha, touch typing, Kitty! :) Type as you think, think-typing, that's the next innovation we need! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:12am
Julie:
I type much faster than I write by hand | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:13am
Marmalade kitty:
Its a good skill! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:14am
Matt from Springfield:
@MK: Also, Internet tabs for browsing--for serial browsers like me, it's one of the best innovations in recent years. Look up anything or go back and forth between sites--without even switching windows! Mah-vellous! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:17am
Matt from Springfield:
Nice Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:19am
Andrew:
heh...except when you have 30 or so tabs open & chrome doesn't save them like it should (which is what just happened to me, grr) a long search of the history to get them back. I also type faster that I write by hand & I cant touch type. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:20am
Matt from Springfield:
@Andrew: Marty is in fact English (Liverpudlian!), he didn't move to Australia until he was an adult. I love AAE and The Church though, they're great! Firefox! Cures (most) ills! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:24am
Matt from Springfield:
Oh my dear Persephone Oh my dear Persephone... | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:24am
Julie:
I gave up on FF, kept crashing on me | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:25am
Julie:
I played that one...ages ago | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:26am
Marmalade kitty:
It's mid morning UK. have to do some Christmaas shopping! Ideally, I would avoid the xmas rat race in town, but I'm never clever enough to shop early!? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:27am
Julie:
@MK me either! I'm not done! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:31am
Marmalade kitty:
socks ties chocolates perfume scarfs..!!!!! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:31am
Andrew:
or when the computer resets itself right after you type the last comment... O_Q i was using FF which worked fine for me & then i changed to chrome, which was ok at first. sighhhhh | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:32am
T-Zero:
Morning... overslept | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:32am
Julie:
Good morning, T zero! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:33am
Matt from Springfield:
I fortunately don't have much shopping left to do--I was focused enough to get everything from Best Buy (a big-box retailer) all in one go, so I don't need to go back there! <credit card dent!> | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:33am
Marmalade kitty:
..& scarves! Wakey wakey TZ :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:34am
Andrew:
Hi T-zero & Matt I have about 1/4 of my christmas shopping done. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:35am
Matt from Springfield:
@MK: Lovely gifts all! :) I should've asked for a scarf, I don't have one! I'm usually warm enough, but they look so cool I want one just for the fashion (Tom Baker y'know!) :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:36am
T-Zero:
Fortunately, my family made the decision years ago to stop buying gifts, except for the children in the family. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:37am
Marmalade kitty:
My mum knits 'em ;) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:38am
Andrew:
That'd be a huge scarf ^_^ What exactly is coldwave? I've got some I downloaded, I l;ike it, dunno why it's called coldwave though. oh yeh? I know a few people who've done that T-zero. It's a hassle buying presents i reckon. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:39am
Matt from Springfield:
Coldwave to greet the upcoming Solstice!! YES YOU CAN, Julie!! Do it! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:39am
Julie:
nah I like this song too much! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:40am
Matt from Springfield:
@TZ: I think most families evolve to that point--we still get each other a couple items to open as adults, but really it's hard to buy for people anyway once they reach a certain age. @MK: That's cool! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:41am
Andrew:
wow, I wondered who the cover was & then i saw the name & thought, uh....either that was a weird version they did or wrong speed ^_^ One thing though, I've bought records & they had no speed written anywhere, so I don't know if I'm actually listneing at the right speed. They are mostly instrumentals. I love this song too ^_^ such a happy song | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:43am
Matt from Springfield:
Really I like this song too--but how funny that sounded! @Julie: Tell your sisters how you played that one too fast on the radio! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:44am
Julie:
oh wow you remember that story, don't you | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:45am
Matt from Springfield:
Oooh, Wassailing! Faith & the Muse does this GREAT! Like the Classical choir pieces WETA airs (or used to anyway) around Christmastime! @Julie: You've previously mentioned your long history with Jeremiah the Bullfrog! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:49am
T-Zero:
LOL At first I thought they were saying potatoes of love... I was like, whaaa? | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:51am
Matt from Springfield:
@TZ: Kartoffeln der Liebe! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:52am
Julie:
mmm potatoes | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:53am
Matt from Springfield:
Wow...something else!! :D | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:54am
Matt from Springfield:
Bluesy! "T.T. Top"! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:54am
Andrew:
yehhhh t-rex!!! I love this one. | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:55am
Julie:
Okay coming up the best christmas song of all time :D Thanks for listening, and happy hanukah/solstice/festivus/christmas! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:56am
Marmalade kitty:
Is it uncool to like "the police"? *I've been listening a lot... lately* :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:56am
Andrew:
awww, over already! O_Q great show tonight Julie. Hope you have a great christmas too! ^_^ | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:57am
Julie:
@MK I like them! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:57am
Matt from Springfield:
Ah, Christmas Spectorpop--that's still a great album: Darlene Love, The Ronettes, and a creepy spoken outro from Mr. Spector! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:58am
Marmalade kitty:
Have a Merry Christmas everybody! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:59am
Matt from Springfield:
@MK: As do I! Indulge your tastes! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:59am
Andrew:
merry christmas! ^_^ hope you all have a good christmas. see you next week! ^_^ | |
Tue. 12/20/11 5:59am
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks Julie for a great Christmas show! Goodbye everyone! Happy Christmas to all! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 6:01am
T-Zero:
Merry Christmas.... Happy Hanukkah | |
Tue. 12/20/11 12:12pm
Van in Dallas:
Alright! Time for the magic of WFMU archive to bring this wonderful new installation of Dark Night of the Soul to my ears! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 12:40pm
Van in Dallas:
Astute observation by Laurie, I think about the Void Vision sounding like Legend of TG. Love that album! And they will be live? wonderful! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 1:09pm
Van in Dallas:
KATE! :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 2:10pm
other david:
Tuning in via the archives and feeling thoroughly Gothmas-like! Mazzy Star's - Bells Ring was bothering me, I've never heard the acoustic version before and it reminded me of something else... something I couldnt place.. then it hit me like a ton of bricks: The guitar & strings are a total knock off of U2's - All I Want Is You! Colour me shocked and horrified :P Happy Christmas Julie & all you lovely commenters! | |
Tue. 12/20/11 3:49pm
Van in Dallas:
Hey that Three Dog Night sounded pretty cool on Chipmunk speed :) | |
Tue. 12/20/11 4:07pm
Van in Dallas:
Very nice show, many thank you's Julie! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that stuff to you and all listeners! | |
