Clay:
Danne, Philo, Al, Caryn, Frances. Welcome! I don't have a street finds episode, kind of a thrown-together generic. It'll have to do! Hello Matterhorn! | |

Hi erryone! | |

Matt from Springfield:
Yeah, I suppose "neglect" is the better term for "passive" abuse, rather than actively inflicting hurt. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:06pm
Clay:
Marmz! Yea! | |

|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:07pm
Night Al:
My dad was an alcoholic. Mom would drive up to the 'Fly-in Bar" in Detroit and make me go inside and get him to come home. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:07pm
Matt from Springfield:
Fredericks! All star commenter lineup tonight! | |

Thu. 8/9/12 6:07pm

Just to mention, I was on with Chris T last Tuesday (archived) and will be hosting it next Tuesday. Please drop by. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:07pm
Night Al:
Anybody got any heroin? | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:08pm
Clay:
Aerial View that is. That;s sounds rough, Night Al. But you survived! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:09pm
Night Al:
Lou Reed's 'waiting for my man' would be good there... | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:09pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Al: Did the bar surroundings seem fairly typical to you, or were you fearful of even going inside the place to get your Dad out? Wondering how you reacted as a child. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:09pm
Danne D:
There's some prog rock | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:09pm
Philo Gristle:
@Clay & Matt -- kat says hi back, she's working on some sound files next to me, will try and get to list later. | |

|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:09pm

Thu. 8/9/12 6:10pm
Clay:
I had 105-minutes of interview tape this week. Too much. I'm trying to get more songs in. I need 3-hours! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:11pm
Clay:
Good Ears Danne! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:11pm
Night Al:
Moms disdain was the only down side for me...dad would be proud of me introducing me to all his bar friends. Not really traumatic. The most traumatic part was watching my mom's disdain of him. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:11pm
Matt from Springfield:
I was about to say: there was a scheduling SNAFU on Tuesday at WFMU; first they said Clay would be filling in for Chris T, then the announcement was dropped and Chris T with a different guest was listing. But NEXT TUESDAY, Clay will be filling in for Chris. And Clay DID come on to co-host last Tuesday, with a special phone interview. I listened to it--very good, it's an important interview! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:11pm
sfrances:
We'd love a 3 hour Dusty show! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:12pm
Caryn:
I'll be missing the next 2 weeks, Clay. It's even worse since you'll be on twice a week. Yay for the archives! But I'll be visiting family, which will be nice. Haven't seen my mother in almost 2 years. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:13pm
paula pc:
finally, happily here | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:13pm
Clay:
Have a nice visit. Your always welcome when you return. Safe travels! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:13pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Was listed", even. And a special phone interview with the guest, Chris and Clay in studio. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:14pm
Timb:
Listening from Fort Lauderdale. Have a great show, Clay! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:14pm
Night Al:
Listened to'the 'Yes' album while soaking in the tub last night...love Steve Howe's guitar playing! He sat down across from me having lunch while working the Asia/Alan Parsons Project show here in Clearwater a few years back. He was very friendly. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:15pm
Caryn:
Thanks, Clay! It'll be nice, since it's basically a tour of 3 different places, and I'll end up seeing pretty much my entire extended family at some point. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:15pm
Clay:
Timb. Good to hear from you. Ft. Lauderdale gets a mention later this hour. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:16pm
dale:
have to listen on the cornputer. a lot of weird fm skip going on due to t-storms up here in the hudson valley. 90.1 is classical fading in to jazz fading in to hiss | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:16pm
Clay:
Cool, Caryn. Should be soul-satisfying. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:16pm
Matt from Springfield:
Things is rough, growin' up in the Romney-hood. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:17pm
Clay:
Dale, really glad you've been a regular lately. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:19pm
Mr. Personage:
This show is amazing. Seamless. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:19pm
Night Al:
I ran spotlight for Chris Tucker's stand-up show last Saturday night. Then I helped set up the stage in center field after the Tampa Bay Rays game Sunday for the Wiggles Show. Both ends of the entertainment spectrum last weekend. Tucker was hilarious! A fellow stagehand told me one of the Wiggles was a registered sex offender. Not sure about that. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:19pm
Caryn:
Romney Hood, Romney Hood, riding on the track. Romney Hood, Romney Hood, on Rafalca's back... | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:20pm
Danne D:
@dale how did you tell the difference? Classical fading into jazz fading into hiss is normal around here? ;o) not to critique clay, but totally had a chance to throw in an oscar meyer ad there, clay :) "21st century schizoid man" bit there in between bits, clay? | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:20pm
Clay:
Thank you, Mr. ! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:20pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Oba-ma-loney", it was a bitch for the newspapers to explain the pronunciation of that one! :) | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:21pm
Danne D:
@Night Al nothing on Snopes about the Wiggles | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:22pm
Night Al:
Sugarloaf... | |

dale:
danne - pretty sure fabio wasn't playing coltrane. he might like it but he wouldn't play it. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:22pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Al: That's probably a joke, it's the ideal kind of setting for those kinds of urban legends to take effect. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:23pm
dale:
boy, the guys in accounting really stank up this version of green eyed lady. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:24pm
Danne D:
the guys in accounting prefer green eye-shade lady | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:25pm
Matt from Springfield:
Heesa plumma! :D | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:25pm
Clay:
Haha Matt! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:26pm
dale:
i'm doing shots of purell as we speak | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:26pm
Caryn:
Considering he has the same name as a tv character, I'm wondering if he gave an alias... | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:26pm
Night Al:
Fohgettaboutit! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:27pm
paula pc:

|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:28pm
Clay:
TY Paula! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:28pm
Danne D:
Soul Coughing in the back? | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:28pm
Clay:
Dale, it was kind of a sterilized version. Lolove that song, though. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:29pm
Clay:
No soul coughing. ! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:29pm

TY Philes! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:30pm
sfrances:
Excellent use of Van Halen! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:30pm
Matt from Springfield:
Great interview! A lot of stereotypes defied about prison, and a warm, engaged glimpse into an ex-felon that people might just write off. Great luck in the plumber's future! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:30pm
dale:
somebody i know was (unbeknownst to me) a registered sex offender. he was at a barbecue with his daughter, stopped on the way home to pee behind the car and a cop came along. they charged him with dwi, public indecency and exposing himself to a minor and he's in jail for the next five years. he was dumb, but that doesn't help his kid since he can't pay child support anymore. messed up system sometimes | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:31pm
moose:
yeah really excellent stuff! heaps of appreciation | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:31pm
Clay:
Van Halen can really come through for a DJ sometimes, Frances. TY Matt! Strange and sad story, Dale. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:32pm
Clay:
Moose! Appreciate that. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:32pm
dale:
clay, i've sat in some music houses for tv commercials in my previous world and was kind of amazed and appaled at how much is just done with a keyboard hooked up to a computer. 'can we get a horn player there? no need, we can just flip this button.' it all sounds fake sometimes | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:33pm
Night Al:
shows flying by today! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:34pm
Night Al:
Very Styx-like! | |

I found a nice cassette source in my hood. 2 C-90's for 3.99. | |
|

|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:35pm
Clay:
Phil-er-up Phillip. Good to see you on the board. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:37pm
Clay:
Wanting to hear the new Joe Walsh record. Always been a fan. James gang was great ... with Walsh... Tommy Bolin ... and Domenic Troiano. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:38pm
Phillip in San Antonio:
Clay i don't know how to explain the Marfa Lights. They are very very odd. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:38pm
dale:
love hearing the stories of the homeless. we're all just a few steps away | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:39pm
Clay:
True, Dale. The Marfa Lights? I'd like to go there and paint and see UFO's and smoke gage. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:40pm
cool fool:
if he's not interviewing the 99% protesters, he's interviewing the homeless, it's a weird fixation. go clay! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:41pm
Matt from Springfield:
Wish he'd learned the first time he got caught...some people just keep pushing the envelope though, and can't stop until it's too late. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:41pm
dale:
pine bush is supposed to have seen a lot of ufo's. friend up in delhi swears he and his wife were visited - he was rendered frozen and she went off with them for an hour or so. the guy's not nuts, never knew what to make of it | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:42pm
Phillip in San Antonio:
Incredible to see. We weren't expecting to see them. Its a great cheap travel destination. Spent the night at a throwback 1950s travel traveler park in a tee pee. Great weather. Cooler than New York on a lot of nights. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:42pm
Night Al:
Love seventies music, late sixties also. I been playing some old Rolling Stones albums on youtube. Goats Head Soup, Black and Blue, Exile on Main Street. Made me go to the library and get Keith Richards autobiography, 'Life'. The first chapters are his childhood east of London, just getting to the band years. Got Gregg Allman's 'My Cross To Bear' to read after I'm done with Keith. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:43pm
Clay:
I know two people who saw one, Dale. Makes you think. Also had a friends who 'saw the white light' in a near-death experience, and heard the voice saying, "you have to go back." | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:43pm
Matt from Springfield:
@cool fool: Clay always finds the people of the street! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:43pm
kat330:
Hi, Clay and all! (Made it at last.) I *really* appreciate hearing these guys taking full responsibiliy for their wrongdoing. Several CEOs and political figures would do well to do the same. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:43pm
Danne D:
OOPS | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:43pm
Clay:
THe Northern Lights are incredible, too, Phillip. Saw them in Wisconsin a lot. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:44pm
Matt from Springfield:
Smoke "gage", Clay? What decade is your mind in?! :) | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:44pm
Clay:
Hi Kat! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:45pm
Philo Gristle:
A lot of abduction stories could be explained by sleep paralysis. Not all. But everybody knows somebody who has had something strange happen to them, and even if just 1% of those are 'true'... that's a big pile of people. Yes? No? Maybe. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:45pm
Night Al:
70's...just like me. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:45pm
Clay:
I had to breeze through the last 20-minutes of show so it gets a bit more wide-open. I wish I'd had time to work more on this episode. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:45pm
cool fool:
clay's like the john stossel of wfmu! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:46pm

Yea, Matt, I had a long swim to catch this boat! :) | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:48pm
Clay:
O.D.. Means a lot that you checked in and thanques for the props. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:48pm
Night Al:
I've been thinking about getting on a Jet Blue flight to JFK and go walk-about in Manhattan again. I'd have to sleep in a bush, but I'm jonesing for the Met's art, and just walking the streets. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:48pm
kat330:
Speaking of boats -- Ahoy, other david!! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:48pm

ROMNEY = RMONEY | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:51pm
Caryn:
Yeah, some historical problems with his theories, but to each their own. At least he's not trying to legislate his beliefs, unlike some people out there. | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:51pm

Dallas, Texas = Dollars, Taxes not really. | |

kat330:
Stewart did a brilliant piece about Bain Capital's swindling Italy and US (of course) of taxes by funneling a deal done in the Boot of Europe through Luxembourg. Italy considers Romney persona non grata -- ITALY, folks!! ITALY finds Romney's dealings too shady! | |
|
Thu. 8/9/12 6:53pm

This is Gown - For the Maples. Love this LP. | |

Clay has mentioned Debussy as composer since that was pointed out to him. Even if not every single time from here on out, he has acknowledged it. | |
