Yay! It has been a while! |

Thu. 7/5/12 6:18am
Caryn:
A free and breezy day to all! And to those with hangovers: well, that's just the price you pay for freedom. | |

I still have the same number of fingers I did Tuesday night! | |

I'm still trying to reach consciousness.... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:22am
Caryn:
Maybe you should move here. Independence Day is December 6th, and we don't celebrate with fireworks. | |

What heat? It's vewwy mild here | |

July 5th would appear to be a great day to invade the US, everyone hungover :) | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:23am
Chuck:
What really messes you up is it makes you think it's the weekend. Had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't Saturday yesterday... | |

Caryn:
Dammit, need to sing along! | |
|

see! Stupid song that will be stuck with me all day! Ha! Very Very true Other David!!! And Yes Chuck..... that is the problem with the middle of the week one..... I was thinking the same |
|

fred von helsing:
so... today is sunday ? (raises eyebrow) fascinating... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:28am
Caryn:
Am playing a little mental game with myself: try to remember which supermodel mouthed which bits in the video. I'm going: "Naomi... Linda... Christy... Cindy... back to Linda..." | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:29am
Chuck:
Mid-week holidays create a temporal distortion, don't ya know, Fred! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:30am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
I hooked everything back up to my parents' TV correctly. Last night there were two rounds of my favorite Independence Day tradition: Babies vs. Fireworks. Fireworks won the first round (my newborn niece was not at all happy about participating). The second round went to babies (she slept through most of it). | |
|
|
♥
Thu. 7/5/12 6:31am
Meghan:
Exactly Caryn..... the time when you knew who the supermodels were..... I don't think I could name a single one that is current.... |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:32am
fred von helsing:
@chuck Oh, I know alright. I had an unofficial 4th of July afterparty last night, ft. some homemade radish vodka. The crowd roared with approval but this work day's a bitch. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:36am
Caryn:
@Meghan: well, in those days the supermodels did everything: high fashion, cosmetics & perfume campaigns, music videos. Nowadays, most of the campaigns and videos either carry the old supermodels or have been taken over by actresses and actors. Supermodels only do high fashion runways and magazines now, and the line between supermodel and model is very unclear even if you follow fashion. | |

"Naked Eye", Luscious Jackson <3 | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:45am
Caryn:
Oh man, there are like 4 books that I've gotten from the library over the years that I'd love to own but that I have been unable to find anywhere. I can't even find any trace that any of those books ever existed. Even the libraries no longer have them. But I read them (multiple times), so they had to exist! Right? Or... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:45am
Chuck:
"The Girl with the Far Away Eyes" - Rolling Stones, leaps to mind... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:46am
Caryn:
The Stooges: "T.V. Eye" | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:47am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
Was the book called "This Rimy River"? | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:48am
Caryn:
Billy Idol: "Eyes Without a Face" | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:48am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
Misfits - "20 Eyes" | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:50am
Chuck:
"Eye in the Sky" - Allan Parsons Project. Meghan will likely consider this one cheese... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:51am
Caryn:
If you choose some "Eyes Wide Open" song, I'd go for the King Crimson or Gotye songs rather than the Ashlee Simpson one... And this is me having not heard any of those. Just going by gut here. | |
|

Thu. 7/5/12 6:54am
Meghan:
hmmmmm Badguyzero..... I don't remember the name. Trying to find a link for it where I can open the book. For some reason I remember it being bigger, but it was a lot of the Vaughan Oliver stuff |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:54am
Caryn:
Also plenty of "Stars in Their Eyes/Stars in Her Eyes/Girl With the Stars in Her Eyes" alternatives, and can't decide which I'd prefer. | |

Speaking of guilty pleasures, "Betty Davis Eyes" - Kim Carnes! hehe.... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:57am
Caryn:
Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" might go into the cheese category. Or you could pick one of the countless covers, like Muse. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:57am
Chuck:
Of course, you could do Wierd Al's take on it too, "Marty Feldman Eyes"... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:57am
Caryn:
I second "Marty Feldman Eyes"! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:59am

*puts eye filter on mp3 library* YLT - Little Eyes Sonic Youth - Beauty Lies in the Eye Primal Scream - Swastika Eyes Clouddead - Rifle Eyes Ariel Pink - Can't Hear my Eyes Billie Holiday - Them There Eyes Brian Eno - Needle in the Camels Eye | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 6:59am
Caryn:
Now I'm wondering what will be in the "cheese" set today. I suspect "Born Free" will end up there. | |
|
|
♥
Thu. 7/5/12 7:00am
Meghan:
hmmmmm, I am wondering now.... I found the other book that I kept thinking it was the original one I was looking at, but now I wonder if I am getting them all mixed up! I just remember full pages of a cover and me drooling hehe |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:02am
Chuck:
Funny I just saw that film sometime in the last 2 months, Caryn! Gotta love TCM... | |

drat, Warpaint only has "eyes" buried in a song (Undertow) | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:03am
Dave B:
Hey. Sun and surf wiped me out. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:03am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):
Speaking of "eyes"...it's 6am here and my eyes are starting to give up on staying open. Bedtime for me. Will listen to the final two hours via the archive later today. Have a great day, Meghan! Everyone else do likewise. :) | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:03am
fred von helsing:
"Wiped out"? That gives me inspiration for a song... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:03am
Caryn:
I pretty much second all of od's list. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:06am
fred von helsing:
Hmm is there a song that rhymes eyes, thighs, and sighs | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:07am
Caryn:
Too bad "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" only has "eye" buried in it. That line has one of the best misheard interpretations in all music: "the girl with colitis walks by". Oh man... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:08am
Bobby Bob-Bob:
Tindersticks - El Diablo En El Ojo | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:14am

Had to look through tapes. "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" - The Adverts! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:16am
Caryn:
Morrissey: "The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye" Travis: "My Eyes" I don't know if I love The Doors' "In the Eye of the Sun", or if you played it during either of the "sun" shows, but it's an option. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:17am
Dave B:
Eyesdown - Bonobo feat Adnreya Triana Rat's Eyes - Black Flag Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles - Beefheart Mescaline Eyes - These Arms Are Snakes So many more | |

Hey Meghan, great show as usual, apart from the George Michael *grin* How about... Eye Know - de la Soul The Man With The Child in his Eyes - Kate Bush | |

Dickie Davies Eyes - Half Man Half Biscuit You could have a set of other peoples eyes - Bettie, Gary, Marty | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:28am
Simon:
Good monrning Meghan and everyone! I've always thought there should be more George Michael on WFMU. I'm racking my brains for a Wham! song about eyes. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:29am

Aye aye Captain! | |

lurker:
"Wham!"?! (rolls eyes) (hey does that count towards the set?) | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:32am
Caryn:
The "Say Anything" fan in me would request Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes". And begs for no "Eye of the Tiger" (although, fine, it might fit the cheese set). | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:34am
fred von helsing:
Eyes: the classic NatLamp cover: http://www.gusbooks.com/shop_image/product/017272.jpg | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:35am
Simon:
Eye'm your man. That's all I got. I second Half man half biscuit and Tindersticks. There's also "before you close your eyes" by Tindersticks. Some grumpy Aussie bloke did a song about green eyes too I recall. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:36am
Caryn:
Fine, I request either the Ani DiFranco or the Merle Haggard "Seeing Eye Dog". | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:37am
Jay/ London:
Had to go meet my ex wife hope i have not missed too much see you have not played freebird yet | |

Thu. 7/5/12 7:37am
Dave B:
Oh and Moped Eyes by Super Furry Animals. I'll send ya some other gems too | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:37am
Chuck:
Just looked at my MP3 library and I've got over 500 (with dupes) songs with "eyes". You've got your work cut out for you, Meg! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:39am
Simon:
Maybe you should just do a blue eyes show and work through other colours in the future. Will we get the Soupdragons next? | |
|

Thu. 7/5/12 7:39am
Meghan:
I don't do Ani Defranco..... She's one of those people that I was told that I HAD to listen to.... but I can't take her over feminist ways... |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:40am
Caryn:
Most cataract songs have nothing to do with eyes, and indeed don't even mention cataracts. I suppose Andrew Bird's "Cataracts" is the one exception I can thing of. But I don't much care for that song, so... I'm stumped on that. @Meghan: yeah, not a huge fan of DiFranco myself. Go for the Haggard! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:41am
Caryn:
Seeing the way this set is going, I suspect The Who cannot be far away. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:41am
Jay/ London:
think the rolling stones version is the best one | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:42am
Dave B:
The Clash - Brand New Cataract | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:43am
Caryn:
(though the Who song is a different song, but hell, the name fits the set) | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:43am
Chuck:
I was told I HAD to listen to Bon Jovi simply because I'm originally from NJ and so is he. "Are you out of your FUCKING MIND!", was my reply... | |
|

fred von helsing:
@DaveB rimshot! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:44am
Caryn:
Man, haven't heard this version since... well, I was in junior high, I think. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:44am
Dave B:
Wow - was this Soupdragons ripped from a cassette? | |
|
|
♥
Thu. 7/5/12 7:45am
Meghan:
It was the only version I could find! ha! |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:46am

Nice and resourceful! It gave it a fine vintage lo-fi warmth | |

|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:50am
Caryn:
I like this version, although the more OTT "end of Tommy" version is my go-to one. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 7:51am

Iris DeMent, Pupil, Orbital (muscle), All seeing I er...that's all I can think of... | |

Hey everybody! Happy 5th! It just occurred to me - since we're in the Metal set - are you going to play Free To Be You And Me by Marlo Thomas/The New Seekers? | |

Andy in Berlin:
@Caryn: well you can blame me - I was going to request it last week and I forgot | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:00am
Caryn:
Too bad "Our freedom of speech is freedom or death" is buried in "Fight the Power". A shot of Public Enemy might wake me up more. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:01am
Caryn:
@Andy: oh please, I could've requested it. Just didn't come to me until the show started. | |

Thu. 7/5/12 8:31am
Dave B:
Ooh now THAT is a capital idea! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:32am

I suggest a jaguar shark float that you rig to the front of the car, so you can be chasing it. | |

does the sub work if it did would be cool | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:36am
Dave B:
@Jay - it would definitely submerge with ease | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:37am
Chuck:
Jay, would you really like to go under water in a submarine these guys MADE! | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:37am
fred von helsing:
I've devised a recipe for a mermatini. It has the potential to be a complete waste of good gin. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:38am
Chuck:
The sub would have to be coffin shaped... | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:39am
Dave B:
Fred - how about the bathtub variety? | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:39am
Caryn:
It would be cool if the sub would work like the Yellow Submarine: occasionally send out psychedelic rainbow puffs from the top of it. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:40am
Chuck:
It will do that, Caryn. Provided you drop enough acid... | |
|
|
♥
Thu. 7/5/12 8:41am
Meghan:
Hey! Remember the show "Junkyard Wars"? They had to make stuff that worked! I think they even made a sub...... |

Thu. 7/5/12 8:41am
Dave B:
@Caryn - these guys were pretty creative http://www.coneyisland.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1340459708/41 | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:42am
Caryn:
Yeah, I think that ability will depend on how strong FVH's mermatini is. Still, it would be easier to realize than actual underwater mobility. | |
|
Thu. 7/5/12 8:42am
fred von helsing:
@DaveB Whoa! Good point! Here moonshine is "pontikka" but I don't have a distributor. OTOH I know someone in Estonia who made bathtub gin (or bathtub *something*) during Gorby's anti-alcohol campaign.. | |

Well, Meghan, it's not as if there's not other stuff to listen to, what with WFMU here and all the other swag, and our own record collections. So the swag can take it's time, and we're fine. | |

I think I'm just curious about the swag now because some people will be getting the mixtapes I made, and I feel nervous about that... And I think it will be fun when different comments board people will get each others' mix tapes and mention it on the board. | |
