Listener comments!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:03pm BSI:

Good afternoon, bewilderer of the headball.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:05pm northguineahills:

Jewelled Antler Collective, haven't heard them in a while.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:09pm amEdeo:

Good bedazzled antlers!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:16pm northguineahills:

Sole samples this Vangelis track, makes for very listenable hiphop.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:17pm jeff-m:

hey there. Pretty stuff so far

Mon. 12/17/12 3:17pm Bob:

Something Reminds Me

Mon. 12/17/12 3:21pm Matt from Springfield:

Ode to a mermaid!
Great Vangelis, this song is a PRETTYT Fille de la Mer!

Hi Scott, everyone!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:21pm DJKG:

quit weirding me out. i'm trying to work.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:22pm Matt from Springfield:

amEdeo, my fellow Human-American!
I just finished listening to your most recent Archive, as a matter of fact!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:23pm DJKG:

quit weirding me out. i'm trying to work.

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 3:23pm Scott W:

Welcome pals! Sorry KG! Bob, I like your comment; what's it mean?

Mon. 12/17/12 3:23pm DJKG:

dammit!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:23pm Daevid:

I'm sorry, DJKG, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:24pm DJKG:

just joshing. focusing on boring work and feeling creepy.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:25pm Matt from Springfield:

Daevid Allen is such a trip! All-around beatnik from Australian, moved to the Canterbury Scene. I like him much.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:25pm amEdeo:

Matt-AmeriHuman! Good day! Why thank you, I hope you enjoyed/had a positive experience with it! Messed up my vocal chords a little during the screams.

OH MY WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:30pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey, as long as you read children's stories with a creepy subtext, I'm cool with it! :)
WFMU should receive the National Medal of AmeriHumanities.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:31pm DCE:

hi guys!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:31pm Van in DC:

Drive by Hi Scott!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:32pm Matt from Springfield:

@Scott: Have you ever heard /of Michael Zentner? He was a onetime of DC group The Muffins, but he did a great solo album Present Time. One track is like jazzy math prog with a peculiar Daevid Allen vocal.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:32pm amEdeo:

I no longer am certain where one WFMU and WFMU and WFMU and WFMU and somewhere there is a show and another and another but then they are all looping. We are humans and make things with mouths and brains. Individual, together, and Nackt Insecten, and here all are.

i think i have become unstuck from

Mon. 12/17/12 3:33pm Bob:

Something Reminds You

Mon. 12/17/12 3:34pm G:

This reminds me of naked insects. Animatronic ones.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:34pm $tanley:

Your show makes me cry

Mon. 12/17/12 3:34pm Matt from Springfield:

@Bob: Whatever that's about, PERFECT comment timing! :)

Mon. 12/17/12 3:34pm amEdeo:

Let's make that award a reality! Who has tin-foil and a degree in metallurgy?

Mon. 12/17/12 3:35pm G:

This reminds me of Pages from the Book of Boldness. Weird.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:36pm Cecile:

hola!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:36pm Manolo:

mayan word of the day: chen mehen-kisin (small devil).

Mon. 12/17/12 3:36pm Matt from Springfield:

Hi to $tanley, G, Van, DCE, NGH, BSI and all other listeners as well!

College art programs often have majors in "jewelrymaking"--perfect place to look for an ambitious, unwitting crafter!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:36pm G:

laho!!!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:38pm $tanley The Meet Lady:

I don't want the end of the world to happen

Mon. 12/17/12 3:38pm Matt from Springfield:

Pages from the book of...audacity! Neues Deutschwort für mich!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:38pm don:

so psyched to be listening right now

Mon. 12/17/12 3:39pm Bob:

Glad Eyes Are Smiling

Mon. 12/17/12 3:39pm $tanley The Meet Lady:

I don't want the end of the world to happen

Mon. 12/17/12 3:40pm Michael Nesmith:

I took the last train to Downersville, and I met you at the station. The radio station.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:40pm amEdeo:

Don't worry $tanley, everyone loves everyone and the world isn't going to end.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:40pm Matt from Springfield:

@$tanley: I saw legendary Hollywood "Golden Age" musical "The Bandwagon" this weekend--they rhymed "prince meet" with "mincemeat". Good rhymes are ever-higher layers of icing on a cake, until it gets so heavy it tips over.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:41pm Chris from DC:

Wow I need to hear all of this new Forma. Nice.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:42pm Matt from Springfield:

I have a certain place in mind to celebrate "World Ending" at--stay through midnight and hopefully keep the party going!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:43pm Matt from Springfield:

@Chris: Is this Forma new new? It has a great 70s Krautrock feel to it!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:44pm amEdeo:

Matt, I'll look through the station's yellow pages for nearby art schools. I'll tell them I'm a representative calling on the behalf of "Mr. Matthew Springfield, Vice-Chancellor of the board of AmeriHumanities".

Mon. 12/17/12 3:44pm $tanley The Meet Lady:

@matt !!!!!!!!!!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:45pm Chris from DC:

@Matt: New new. Or is that neu?

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 3:45pm Scott W:

hey Matt, it is new, on Spectrum Spools. Stanley - don't worry, the world won't end. Johnny Ray coming up for you later: you'll feel better if you cry.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:45pm BSI:

Potatoes are a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:46pm the thought of you:

@scott

Mon. 12/17/12 3:50pm Matt from Springfield:

@$tanley!!!
Or how bout Dexys: "Poor old Johnny Raaaaay..."!

Thanks Chris, Scott!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:53pm Matt from Springfield:

@amE: Excellent! While we might not be able to pay them a lot of fame upfront, they will receive a cut of all future fame from the medal, once a bedazzled world knows they crafted it!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:56pm bloopy:

scott . u killing it mate

Mon. 12/17/12 3:56pm dale:

strangest set i've ever hoid. i have the vinyl of popul vuh, and it is wacky at 45 rpm

Mon. 12/17/12 3:56pm KP:

Hey Scott!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:56pm Michael Nesmith:

Tragedy pr0n! Lovin' it!

Mon. 12/17/12 3:57pm Matt from Springfield:

First time I really heard Mahler, that was intriguing and beautiful.
Also, seems the "Kindertotenlieder" are a previous set of poems by Friedrich Rückert. Worth reading in their own right.

Mon. 12/17/12 3:58pm KP:

Hey Michael Nesmith, what size wool cap do you wear?

Mon. 12/17/12 3:58pm Matt from Springfield:

Poor old Johnnie Ray!
Now you HAVE to play "Come On Eileen"! ;)

Mon. 12/17/12 3:59pm Michael Nesmith:

Too small. It binds something AWWWFULLL

Mon. 12/17/12 4:00pm Yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way):

So good to be here finally

Mon. 12/17/12 4:00pm Matt from Springfield:

"Now the sun wants to rise as brightly"

Mon. 12/17/12 4:02pm Matt from Springfield:

Greets, Yair!

Mon. 12/17/12 4:03pm luca:

the sun will now rise clearly

Mon. 12/17/12 4:04pm Matt from Springfield:

Menchen and the Noisersnappers--band name.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:07pm nihiles:

What was that little snippet, something like...

How do I know what you're saying is real?
You don't.
How do I know that you're telling the truth?
I'm not.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:08pm Carmichael:

Good day Scotty and yon peoples.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:09pm nihiles:

What is the quote from?
" I can't tell when you're telling me the truth."
- I'm not.
"How do I know anything you've told me is..."
- You don't.
-TIA

Mon. 12/17/12 4:10pm Carmichael:

I would not be able to wash dishes to this music.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:11pm Julie:

this reminds me of some tv theme and it's making me nuts trying to remember what

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:11pm Scott W:

Welcome Yair! Good to see you. nihiles, it's actually from the Mothers of Invention album "Uncle Meat"

Mon. 12/17/12 4:12pm Matt from Springfield:

@Julie: "Doctor Who" on an old VHS about to self-destruct? ;)

Mon. 12/17/12 4:13pm Carmichael:

Cosmos, as the planets whoosh by and Carl Sagan talks about "star stuff"?

Mon. 12/17/12 4:15pm nihiles:

Thanks Scott. I guess the quickness of it and the sound of it had me believing it was from some film noir.
And I wish I was home instead of work because I have dishes that could be washed to this music.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:15pm Julie:

@Matt I didn't watch old Dr Who. But yeah probably something sci-fi

Mon. 12/17/12 4:17pm Carmichael:

In fact, my dishes are probably getting dirtier.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:18pm tom:

Scott: Forma Mecanique is just too good. Made my day. Love that stuff.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:21pm Matt from Springfield:

@Julie: Was it as "manic" as this Tom Cameron? Pretty high energy rhythm for a theme.

@Carm: It's probably more music to "cleanse" dishes by--as in dipping them into a magma flow and watching the mess (and the dish itself) turn to obsidian.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:24pm Carmichael:

Just like not being able to play anything sad on a banjo, you just can't help but be happy with synthesized handclaps.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:26pm still b/p:

If I did dishes to that track, the outcome would be similar to when Mack Sennett took a bit of advice to stop work in the afternoon on the Keystone (as in Cops) movie set and serve tea: "The breakage was awful and several strangers got scalded."

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:26pm Scott W:

Oooh, Carm, I guess you haven't heard Henry Flynt play the banjo, or Sandy Bull doing Carmina Burana

Mon. 12/17/12 4:29pm Matt from Springfield:

@Carm: There's that Irwin bed with a banjo that veers towards sadness (though, not *nearly* as sad as its title would suggest. Lemme see if I can find that title...)

As I rediscovered Fraggle Rock (and its music) some years ago, I also noticed for the first time the sheer joy of synth/drum machine handclaps. Followed by Lipps Inc. and other examples, I am now a huge proponent of them.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:31pm Carmichael:

Can't say that I have, Scott. I took for granted the quote I stole from Steve Martin. But I stand by my synthesized handclaps remark.

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:33pm Scott W:

oh yeah, the synthesized handclaps are incorruptible! for more sad banjo, check out World Standard's "Country Gazette"

Mon. 12/17/12 4:39pm Matt from Springfield:

Oddly, this is a good follow-up to Arrigo :)

Now how come this song is never on any Karaoke machine *I* come across?!

Mon. 12/17/12 4:41pm steve:

Gary Wilson = genius.

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:42pm Scott W:

@steve: hell yeah, Gary's still got it! PBWolf & MadLib been real good for him too

Mon. 12/17/12 4:42pm map:

that was a great song

Mon. 12/17/12 4:44pm Carmichael:

Now I could wash a hell of a lot of dishes to Vice Versa.

Mon. 12/17/12 4:44pm steve:

i heard theyre repressing You Think You Really Know Me !

Mon. 12/17/12 4:46pm Matt from Springfield:

Btw, "Perpetual Dolesome Machine" by Bud Melvin is said sad banjo music. Though I still agree that the title sounds sadder than the actual piece.

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:46pm Scott W:

@steve: again?! That'll make at least issue #4. but good, they can prolly get gary heard by more ppl

Mon. 12/17/12 4:51pm steve:

yup, the great Feeding Tube Records said they're putting it out next year some time

Mon. 12/17/12 4:56pm Carmichael:

That documentary on Gary Wilson was excellent, BTW. Nice work, WFMU! Was that Brian Turner who was in a piece of it, or am I misremembering someone else?

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 4:57pm Scott W:

@carm: naw dude, that was me! Gary was on my show in 2002. DJ Duane was also in the doc

Mon. 12/17/12 4:59pm Carmichael:

Ya know, as soon as I hit enter I thought it may have been you. Sorry for the misrememberance. You are indeed the man.

Mon. 12/17/12 5:04pm Matt from Springfield:

YES! Go FMA!

Finally putting legs on that idea! Challenge "Happy Birthday" supremacists!!!

Mon. 12/17/12 5:05pm Sergeus:

Who play that Bolero version?

Mon. 12/17/12 5:11pm jerame:

if i recollect, relatives: gospel + funk = Can

Mon. 12/17/12 5:13pm Matt from Springfield:

@Sergeus: It's Kebekelektrik, as in "Quebec electric"

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 5:13pm Scott W:

Ah, got it! Close, jerame - it was "gospel + Funkadelic = Can"

Mon. 12/17/12 5:17pm steve:

that Source of Yellow LP is great

Mon. 12/17/12 5:19pm Carmichael:

Nothing says soulful jazz like serving hard time.

Mon. 12/17/12 5:21pm Sergeus:

@Matt, thanks

Mon. 12/17/12 5:25pm Matt from Springfield:

No prob, Serge!

Mon. 12/17/12 5:30pm Matt from Springfield:

Nativity of the Lord, Superstar!!

Mon. 12/17/12 5:38pm $ssstamley:

At first I thought it read handicaps and not handclaps @scott

Mon. 12/17/12 5:40pm Matt from Springfield:

Back in "The United States Of America"!! Rockin' that fuzz bass and cor anglais! Excellent Nugget!

Mon. 12/17/12 5:43pm tim from champaign:

I love this USA album. It's one of my go to "so you've never heard this before, eh?" records when sitting around with friends drinking beer and listening to records.

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 5:47pm Scott W:

@tim, same here! I actually keep forgetting how good a few of the trax on there are

Mon. 12/17/12 5:52pm Carmichael:

Has Oneida appeared at Primavera? I seem to recall one of their sets somewhere.

Mon. 12/17/12 5:53pm Brian in UK:

Evening' Scott & chums.
In the stillness of an Oriente rainfall....'

♥ Mon. 12/17/12 5:54pm Scott W:

@carm: yep! they played in 2009, opposite Neil Young, haha - they still got a good crowd. great set, mostly improv, I got to record it. Archive is in in here somewhere

Mon. 12/17/12 5:54pm BSI:

holy crap.

Mon. 12/17/12 5:56pm steve:

wow, thats crazy

Mon. 12/17/12 6:01pm Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Scott!
Have a great evening, everyone!

Mon. 12/17/12 6:01pm Bas, NL:

Thanks Scott!
