the fog is still in my head...let's keep it that way for awhile. good morning! | |

Liz B.:
Don't worry, DCE, I'll keep it foggy for a bit! Welcome Cheri and anyone else out there who may be too foggy to chime in yet! |

this is great | |

Foggy, with patches of clarity. I have a feeling that in the fog and after it lifts we're on some kind of musical odyssey. Thanks Liz. | |

I thought "thusdar" might be some kind of nickname for Liz. Why not? | |
|

sort of a Viking name...join Odin and Thor, Liz! | |

I thought Thusdar is brother of Sun Ra. | |

Ha ha, I kinda like "Thusdar!" For some reason, I always need to wade into Monday cautiously... can't just jump in the deep end and get it over with. |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 9:23am
northguineahills:
I thought Thusdar was a cousin of the Thundercats. | |

Mmm... birthday cake! I made birthday cake crepes once! | |

"Another Cigarette..." reminded me of the mole cartoon soundtracks. | |

Someone left a copy of "O: The Oprah Magazine" here in the studio. Such a great megalomaniac move... create a magazine named after yourself and every issue has you on the cover! |

Mon. 4/23/12 10:17am
Liz B.:
I'd like to think that if I were a billionaire, I'd just buy an island somewhere and chill instead of bothering to pose for the cover of the magazine named after me every month. |
|

megalomaniacs are never satisfied | |

Look at Rupert Murdoch, as the Beatles might say, "a mean old man", throwing his mean ass children to the wolves. The guy will do anything for a headline. | |

Was it Jonesy and X-Ray who left the Oprah magazine? | |

Oprah is on an island somewhere. It's been a hologram for years now. | |

jeeze I dunno LizB, if I were a billionaire I think I'd create a magazine about me too. dc pat fancy or something... | |

Jennique:
If I were a billionaire I'd make a theme park after myself, sorta like Dollywood, only with way weirder rides. | |
|
|
♥
Mon. 4/23/12 10:25am
Liz B.:
Ha ha, good point, Skirkie! You're probably right! The mag doesn't have a subscription sticker on it, so I will never know the true owner. We can all speculate, though. |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:26am
Dead Corporate Eyes:
dc pat, I'd subscribe to that! | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:26am

If Oprah was just a mega lo mein-iac instead, she'd still never be satisfied, but at least it would only be a burden for her lunch companions. | |

My money's on BRYCE as the O-planter. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:29am
Caryn:
Maybe Ken is boning up on Oprah to prepare for a fundraising plea? Being able to say "I really liked the latest issue of O" and quoting specific articles will help him butter up Oprah. Best way to loosen the purse strings. If you're a billionaire, why settle for an island? I say a hollowed-out volcano base or underwater base of operations like a Bond villain would be way cooler. | |
|
|
♥
Mon. 4/23/12 10:32am
Liz B.:
Good points, Jennique and Caryn... a theme park or a hollowed-out volcano are far better ways to waste one's billions! |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:34am
Caryn:
I think I'd avoid a theme park, because those are just law suits waiting to happen. Unless you only use the park yourself, of course. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:35am
Skirkie:
Pumice comes from volcanoes, incidentally. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:40am
Jennique:
If anyone wanted to sue me about my theme park, I'd just settle out of court and build them their own theme park and let the country be overrun by theme parks. | |

Express yourself! 26 ways to tell your story and share it with the world |

That magazine probably has some subliminal messages that can be read by black light or some such method. | |

Oprah talks to an American Idol (Steve Tyler written inside of a heart with an arrow through it) |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:46am
Caryn:
Liz, is one of the 26 ways to express yourself to the world "become a billionaire and then publish a magazine named after yourself"? | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:48am
Caryn:
I also suspect "have your own talkshow", "recommend your fave books via your own book club" and "have your own tv network" are part of the 26 ways. | |

Spiritualized are on Fat Possum? Weird. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:53am
Caryn:
I don't know if I'd become a supervillain if I was a billionaire, but I'd certainly take some style tips as far as lairs are concerned. Maybe a leisurely "gentleman thief" (or whatever the female equivalent is) lifestyle might be nice? I suspect I might go the Diabolik route: cool mountain lair, hot supermodel lover who never wears underwear, a fleet of black and white sportscars, a round, revolving bed covered in money... | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:55am
Skirkie:
...have the bed money changed every week. Make sure the old money is thrown away. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:56am
suea:
is that the issue with not one but TWO Oprahs on it? I saw it in the market today. you know, there is an article in there that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. or so it says on cover. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 10:57am
Caryn:
That's what laundering money is for, Skirkie! As a billionaire, the old money will easily be recycled by buying some more sportscars. Fresh money will take its place. | |

yeah, I like the mountain lair but the Thunderball-style underwater-city-kind-of-thang would be cool too. Have have more than one supermodel...many, many supermodels. And everybody has to wear togas all the time. Beer comes out of all the golden faucets...what else? | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:04am
Skirkie:
Hells no. If I'm a crazy billionaire I'm not re-using filthy bed money. It gets tossed in the volcano. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:06am
Caryn:
@dc pat: I think you mean "The Spy Who Loved Me"-style underwater city? "Thunderball" just had underwater fighting and the shark pool. | |

@dcp: will there be a dog park & at least one place to get a curry? | |

"The Spy Who Loves Me"s villain, Stromberg, was originally supposed to be Goldfinger's brother. I guess that would've made him Fishfinger? | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:13am
BSI:
Good news on the curry. And this isn't a dog. He's an ugly dwarf cripple person. Seriously. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:14am

Oprah's got a fold-in in the back of the magazine right? Where the answer is always Oprah, I bet. | |

@dcp: Diana Rigg in the Avengers? Amen times infinity. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:17am

Well, honestly, if Bond was ever going to get married, of course he would marry Emma Peel! Totally logical! I think that's my fave Bond movie. | |

100% pure dc pat:
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to put my foot down with the dog issue. I know a lot of FMU commenters like dogs, but the only dogs allowed in my underwater mansion are guard dogs with wetsuits and aqualungs...no jet packs for them. You just can't trust 'em. | |

Good morning everyone. Good looking setlist there, Liz. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:22am
Caryn:
Yeah, but at least Bond gets his revenge! I like that both "Diamonds Are Forever" and "For Your Eyes Only" carry over the idea of a vengeful Bond out to get Blofeld. | |

Morning Liz and peoples of radioland! That Oprah magazine has been floating around the station for a while; I think I read the Steven Tyler interview in the DJ bathroom last week. It wasn't particularly interesting. | |

Went to Barcade this weekend and this song is giving me flashbacks. Centipede and Joust were my high score games. | |

last year I went on a genre quest, read Red Harvest, then watched Yojimbo followed by Fist Full of Dollars. I recommend it to everyone. Eyooo, that Opera mag was in the DJ bathroom?? | |

haha! "Opera", meant Oprah | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:40am

Of course, that is the next step in her quest to rule all media: an Oprah opera. | |

I've seen the other titles, what's "Red Harvest"? | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:46am
100% pure dc pat:
ngh: supposedly, (though now I'm seeing that this is disputed) Kurosawa based Yojimbo on that Hammett private eye novel. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:47am
Caryn:
Kurosawa said Yojimbo was more based on Hammett's "The Glass Key", but I think if you read both, it would be a good basis for watching the movies. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:49am
Caryn:
Of course, if you read "The Glass Key", you would then also have to watch the film versions. And "Miller's Crossing". | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:49am
100% pure dc pat:
great Caryn, thanks a lot! Why didn't you tell me that last year?? | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:49am
Bolondgomba:
maybe you'll despise the idea of watching anything after the trip with the book. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:50am
100% pure dc pat:
not if we're talking Kurosawa and Leone. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:51am
Caryn:
Well, personally I feel that "Red Harvest" is closer to "Yojimbo" than "The Glass Key" is, and heck, there's lots of debate about the movie issue, so I don't think you made a mistake by reading it, dc pat. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:51am
Mike East:
speaking of books into movies - I watched the Fincher version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on Saturday, now I have to read the book to figure out which film was more faithful. I preferred the Swedish version. Good morning everyone (have i said that yet?) | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:52am
Bolondgomba:
aha, of course, it can happen the other way around to | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:53am
Caryn:
When I headed up the university film club, I'd set up nights showing 3 movie versions of the same story or on the same theme, so these discussions are all too familiar to me. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:54am
Bolondgomba:
after I read the Quiet American from Greene I wasn't particularly interested in a cinematographic adaptation. | |

100% pure dc pat:
yes, the Stupid Punk Rock has arrived! | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:55am
Caryn:
@Mike East: I'd try to track down the tv series version of the Swedish film to get the most "faithful" adaptation, if that is the main criterion. 3 hours per book. | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:57am
Bolondgomba:
and than again, The Third Man was quite a trip without knowing that Greene wrote it | |
|
Mon. 4/23/12 11:58am
