DCE:

|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:06pm
BSI:
Sweet mystical kidney pie! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:07pm
LuLu:
..do you guys understand that one minute Jim Price show? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:08pm
ac/dc pat:
yes we do. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:08pm

Bonsoir Scott ! Bonsoir listeners ! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:08pm
steve:
whats not to understand? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:09pm
Cecile:
It's just a little compressed slice of weirdness that makes me smile. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:10pm
LuLu:
who is he & why does he show up for a one-minute show? did he win something & that was his prize? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:11pm
ac/dc pat:
somethings just can't be explained...like feedback. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:12pm
BSI:
I deeply regret missing the Jim Price show today. Was stuck in the middle of that LSD lecture that Bob Purse posted to the FMU blog & lost all track of time... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:12pm
LuLu:
I bet feedback can be explained. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:13pm
don:
Jim Price is a long-time presence at FMU. This is just a little thing he does. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:14pm
ac/dc pat:
well technically, yes, but why do we love it? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:14pm
steve:
i think Jim Price had a regular hours long show on fmu a couple of years ago? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:14pm
DCE:
scientifically, yes, but why it speaks to your brain and heart, probably not, LuLu | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:15pm
Karen in Sleepy Hollow:
Oh hells yeah, love the Staple Singers! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:16pm
DCE:
excuse me. I'll be in the CAN for the next half hour. | |

Scott W:
S'up yall! Jim Price has been around here for years, he's done a ton of pretty brilliant things, most recently The Price is Beans, w. Vanilla Bean, around '97 or so |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:17pm
BSI:
Man, I'm just now dipping a toe into the material on the LOST TAPES collection, and jeepers dang. What treasures. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:17pm
Mike East:
For an explanation of feedback, see this tweet from WFMU earlier today: Here's What Happens When a Man Covered in Microphones Walks Into a Room Covered With Speakers: youtu.be/q81NVYWnx1w | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:19pm
DCE:
Mike, can't wait to see that when I get home. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:21pm
the glowing one:
lost tapes has a lot of filler material in my opinion, but I like the mooney tracks, those proper songs. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:21pm
Tom L.:
Damn you WFMU! You play this new CAN album (three cd set) and I'm forced to purchase it. Thanks for draining my bank account, you hipster radio dj. Ugh. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:21pm
paula pc:
this Can is kicking me, not the other way around...this is quite a first set, Scott -- all FEROCIOUS cuts in their own ways... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:21pm
Mike East:
The room's not covered with as many speakers as I expected, but the sound is exactly what I expected...beautiful. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:22pm
Cheri Pi:
Tom L. that's my conundrum at the moment too. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:23pm
H.J.I.:
Is Damo on this sampler? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:24pm
andymorphic:
good thing its not on vinyl | |
|
|
♥
Mon. 6/25/12 3:24pm
Scott W:
this is Damo, tho Mooney's in here too. no filler on the sampler! haven't heard the full box yet |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:24pm
BSI:
@andymorphic: it very definitely would be mine by now, if it was... I may have to break my new-CD fast for this one. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:25pm
jeff:
Weird! i just turned off disc 3 of the lost tapes box & put on fmu. Synchronicity! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:25pm
the glowing one:
>no filler on the sampler! >haven't heard the full box yet oh just you wait until you've finished it... >:) | |

ac/dc pat:
Mike: that is not only cool as hell but funny as hell too! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:26pm
Van in DC:
Oh hi Scott! Just making it in from being lost in the Jim Price show! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:27pm
Lucifer:
hell is neither cool nor funny | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:27pm
ac/dc pat:
Scott W, you should play the extreme feedback guy on the air. Luci: should have said "as heck" | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:28pm
Lucifer:
you should also eat your peas at dinner tonight | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:28pm
Van in DC:
Ha! Should have turned the sound down a little at work before checking out feedback guy! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:30pm
DCE:
having fun tapping my feet to this one | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:36pm
LuLu:
ok, thanks for the Jim Price information! I guess it makes sense now. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:38pm
Carmichael:
Hey there, Scott. Hi everyone. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:40pm
prediction:
German Oak will inspire modern indie rockers to live and record in WWII bunkers. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:42pm
Carmichael:
Getting my fill of minimalist Kraut rock today, between this set and Liz's show. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:43pm
Waka Jawaka:
Happy Monday y'all | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:43pm
the glowing one:
German Oak had such inspiring songs like "Swastika Rising" or the lovely "Shadows Of War: a) Rain Of Destruction b) V1 To London". Or just like prediction predicted "Down In The Bunker"... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:50pm
Carmichael:
Mac's really playing the room! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:53pm
Looms:
Agreed, Mac sounded like some kind of hybrid of Robert Smith and Jamie Stewart. Hi all! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:53pm
BSI:
HA! I keep hearing 'em sing DON'T GET THE SCURVY... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:53pm
DCE:
come on and suck a lemon, don't get the scurvy | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:55pm
Waka Jawaka:
That was that Mac?! Awesome! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 3:57pm
LuLu:
Scott sounds like Pepe Le Pew! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:01pm
Carmichael:
Blue Oyster Cult was the band that sang Don't Get the Scurvy. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:03pm
Cecile:
Carm, that was Don't Fear the Scurvy. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:04pm
DCE:
this is like a lullaby | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:09pm
J & D:
Won't come back from Dead Man Scurve...! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:15pm
northguineahills:
That was a great Chris Forsyth track.... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:17pm
Danne D:
This is sorta like a foreign version of Daniesln Famile - Kinda Sorta | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:19pm
Danne D:
(Danielson Famile) Anyway, Ugh, Scott plays the Mac version of Sylvia's Mother when I step away from office *sigh* | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:25pm
BSI:
This Crutchfield piece is so disturbingly satisfying for reasons I can't comprehend... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:27pm
Danne D:
What's awesome about Scott (and so many FMU DJ's) is that they'll often be inspired by the audience/comments but not in a manner that is that conventional "Hey can you play this record" type of mechanical/transactional deal. It's a special thing :) | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:29pm
Gjorgji:
No, Nothing, Never is playing for the second time today. Amazing. Must be sunny in New Jersey.. cheers from Skopje, Macedonia | |

Scott W:
It was, Gjorgji - it just went really dark again! oh, look, now the buckets of rain |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:33pm
Carmichael:
I thought this was Martha Davis at 1st listen. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:34pm
big fan:
Hi Scott! Can you play Freebird? (Backwards, and at 16 RPM?) | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:36pm
Gjorgji:
perfect radio Monday | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:36pm
steve:
is it raining IN the studio?? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:37pm
Michele:
Great show today, really awesome. Nice timing with the rain sounds at the same time the thunderstorm is hitting in real life. Makes me happy. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:38pm
KP:
Blue skies on LI. Guess on way once again. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:41pm
Danne D:
There should be more albums named after Kenzo :) | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 4:43pm
Danne D:
Every DJ is now named Jesse, Scott. | |

Merry Half-Christmas, everyone! | |

Always wanted to try haggis, will do so some day,... | |

Rainy Days and Tonguedays. | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:01pm
Cecile:
ha reminds me of the movie Brave and the kids not eating their haggis. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:04pm
KP:
Bon jour to you and your haggis. | |

how was it Cecile? | |

Karen's sounding a bit, uh ... *husky* ...... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:06pm
KP:
Absolutely pouring. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:06pm
BSI:
fairly epic, this. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:07pm
Cecile:
I liked it a lot, even though there was Mumford and Sons penned songs in it. A little patchy in spots, but overall really beautiful looking and the princess is a great heroine. I may be biased becaus I love Kelly McDonald, the Scottish actress who voices her. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:07pm
steve:
suns already back out in brooklyn! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:12pm
TrollFace:
No problem with Troll, beautiful! Thanks. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:13pm
Mike East:
cool. I will likely take the kids next week on vacation | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:15pm
paul b:
Something about your playing a song called Blue Skies triggered half a memory that there used to be someone named Penalope Blue Sky who sang songs but I can't recall more. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:16pm
pierre:
if you like pepper, meat, and oats, then Haggis is for you, and you, and you… i'm associating this with a 12 years Laphroaig, and with Scott's show, i'm in heaven ! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:18pm
Cecile:
Mike East, Madagascar 3 is also insane and pretty hysterical. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:20pm
Stanley:
Pierre - you certainly know how to live. I'm reaching for the malt now, thanks to you. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:20pm
BSI:
Laphroaig. Good call. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:21pm
Mike East:
ah cool. Thanks, Cecile. Gotta have rainy day plans at the beach. Personally I'd rather see Prometheus, but I think the 10 kids (btwn nieces, nephews, and my own) outnumber me. | |

Hello Scott and all the listeners. | |

this bed music sounds like someone's getting married - it's so great. | |

tim from champaign:
What's the story about Fabio and the band? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:29pm
BSI:
Compelled to make hooting commentary of praise whenever Expo 70 is played. To encourage the behavior is continued, y'see... | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:32pm
Scott W:
Tim, which band is that now? |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:32pm

Oww!! This Expo '70's great!! Hi Scott!! Hi all! | |

Hey Bas! Great to meet you en espana! |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:35pm
Bas, NL:
Hi Scott! Man, it was so great to finally meet 'The Voice'! What a fiesta it all was!! | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:36pm
northguineahills:
Always need a moon raga. .... I thought that Ergo Phizmiz et al sounded vaguely familiar.... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:36pm
tim from champaign:
The band that got Fabio suspended due to FCC issues. | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:37pm

oops, you already responded. Thanks for the info! | |

@paul b - couldn't find anything under Penelope Blue Sky but found this movie :) http://www.blueskymedia.net/movie/penelope | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:39pm
Carmichael:
You can't even be a pottymouth on freeform radio?!? The Supreme Court just gave the FCC a smackdown, too. Man, they can go suck it. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:40pm
Stanley:
Good night Pierre. I'm only one hour behind you, so will be hitting the sheets soon m'self. | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:40pm

Hey Richard :) Hey Bas :) One of these years we gotta get you guys stateside :) | |

Saludos Carmichael. | |

Mon. 6/25/12 5:51pm
paul b:
Danne D: Yeah this is bugging me, can't get the brain gears to go round on this. I had a college house mate who was in a band called Velocity Girl (same as the Black Tamborine crowd) -- Penelope and her band were favorites of his/them. They were either a Lancaster or Boston Band | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:55pm
Bas, NL:
@Danne D.. It's inevitable we'll one day all have to come over! I'm looking forward to that! ;) | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:55pm
Cecile:
I remember Velocity Girl - they had a couple of good singles. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:56pm
northguineahills:
Yep, I still have a Velocity Girl tee-shirt.... | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:56pm
Carmichael:
Quick archive check: Sarah Kirkland Snider had an album called Penelope. Could that be it? | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:57pm
Stanley:
Aw! This Alice Cohen is brilliant. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:58pm
Carmichael:
And of course my favorite female voice, Penelope Houston. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 5:59pm
Carmichael:
Thanks, Scott! | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 6:02pm
Cecile:
Penelope was also an Aussie band during that time. | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 6:05pm
Danne D:
(@paul b - I remember Velocity Girl - I bought one of their CDs :) ) | |
|
Mon. 6/25/12 7:18pm
paul b:
Pushed the gears thru a half turn and have determined it involves a band from Providence called Honeybunch and their song "Hey Blue Sky" which is about ... | |
