Bethany! The only good thing about your being off the schedule is that I get to hear you live once in a while

Hi Bethany great to hear you on the WFMU airwaves as always :) You and Irwin make quite the team.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:17pm Danne D:

You can get any DJ you want by pledging $75+ now at 800-989-9368. You can also still show your allegiance to Bethany by adopting her for 2013! Info here:

This is going to be a wild ride! I am in love with Bethany and Irwin! As both a footballer, and a commoner both.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:21pm Danne D:

If you find yourself unable to decide which of these great premiums you want, and you are a person of means, a great thing to do is pledge $3000 - this will get you EVERY dj premium and a Day of Joy at WFMU to boot! :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:27pm Ike:

Bethany! Rule this timeslot! Streamroll right on through here! Yeah!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:27pm fred:

All those premiums will keep you busy for months listening to great stuff. And you no longer have to make tough choices. I heartily recommend it

Phew, I thought it was a Sunday night and it was summer schedule or something...., (looks out the window), oh looky, there, there's snow outside, it's still Fridayish.

Got a call from potential employer during my nap, scared to call back, in case it isn't good news (but it might be good news).
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:51pm fred:

@NGH: Call back! Not doing so can only turn good news into bad news, not the other way around
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:54pm northguineahills:

I am, just waiting for my tea brew so I'm lucid. (didn't sleep well last night, somewhat do to this issue).

God Bless the Phone Slaves taking pledge cards like that one.

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:54pm Danne D:

@ngh call - this way if you strike it rich you can pledge more maybe ;o)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:55pm G:

"stochastic" is a term widely used in probability theory in math. in comes from Greek _stochos_ meaning target or aim. It means you are moving in the direction of something, not like with strict logic or an absolutely rigorous proof, but instead by trying to move in the approximate direction in order to make a gradual approach to a desired goal.

i'm more of a fan of combinatorics, mathematically :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:55pm Danne D:

a little quick to agree there, Skirkie :/
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:55pm G:

yeah, more classical stuff we don't know yet. sounds good. :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:56pm Danne D:

Congrats Sean :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:56pm northguineahills:

Statistically, nothing is "provable" (ie:100%). Stochastically, everything is nothing but probabilities.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:56pm Skirkie:

Ha ha, yup.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:56pm fred:

Danne, if your posts had a heart for each one of your pledges, we'd have to scroll to see them all

I'm more of a fan of Technotronic.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:59pm Danne D:

@fred lol well I'm just a serial pledger :) Lots of folks give more. Hopefully all give what they can whether it's in a bunch o'pledges or all in one shot :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 3:59pm G:

within a close system of fixed terms (e.g., euclidean geometry), things are provable -- but only within that system.

the external world is more complex and multifactorial, and everything is stochastic. otherwise, we'd have all arrived at and agreed on the right answers about everything already, and that is manifestly not the case :)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:00pm G:

close s/b closed, duh
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:02pm Ken From Hyde Park:

OK, that's good info on stochastic. Can someone explain the parade part?
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:02pm fred:

@G: not all things, said another G. But why agree? That would be boring

Forgot about the truncated linking, that first like is about the parade part for Ken From Hyde Park

Used a lot in time series analysis - a topic that in spite of my degree I have pretty much forgotten I'm afraid to say

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:13pm Carmichael:

Irwin & Bethany! Nice surprise. Is Kurt a marathon fraidy cat?
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:19pm Carmichael:

@ngh: if they don't want you, they'd have sent a letter. They're calling with good news. Now answer the call!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:22pm northguineahills:

Just called. They want to have a 30 minute follow-up on Monday. So, no, I don't officially have the job, but it looks rather positive. Hopefully, I can start pledging next week.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:24pm northguineahills:

The ninth interview (5 weeks ago), came off really positive. But, they said it was up to the HR dept (of the NYC Office of Emergency Management) to draw up the contract, etc. I just got nervous b/c of the wait. (even though my previous gov't jobs had similar waits.)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:25pm northguineahills:

I play French horn (I just can't afford one), I just have a cornet w/ a broken spit valve. I do have a handful of French horn mouth pieces that I'd use on the cornet.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:28pm fred:

@NGH: I'll have my fingers crossed -- some of the time -- over the weekend then
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:29pm Mike East:

@ngh - if you need to borrow a french horn for a gig for a day or two, I got you covered. :)
  Fri. 3/8/13 4:30pm paula pc:

i am all for the classical and jazz on FMU anytime...thank you...
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:31pm fred:

There's something Pythonesque about the Office of Emergency Management needing 5 weeks to figure out they want a follow-up interview
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:31pm Mary Wing:

I want to star this-- Bethany, update the playlist, please!!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:32pm northguineahills:

Thanks Fred!

Cool, Mike, I'll need to get my embouchure back into shape beforehand, but I'd love the chance to play again. Also, once I have a paycheck again, do you know of a good place to get my spit valve fixed?
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:32pm Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:

@Mary Wing: me too!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:32pm G:

Working, but here to mention that FWIW a fun progrock fact -- namely, that Prokofiev is Rick Wakeman's role model composer (he wrote about him in college). In recent years, he's taken to playing an Eleanor Rigby/Prokofiev mashup during his solo shows.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:33pm Andrew Waterloo:

It would be totally awesome to wake up to live classical music
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:33pm Mary Wing:

Aaah, starred for the permanent record.

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:34pm northguineahills:

I had one gov't that took 5 months from the first interview until my first day on the job. I'm just 2.5 months for this one. (almost 3 months since I discovered the email typo on my resume.)

@ngh, yes. Brass Lab...a guy named Chuck Alexander, in Brooklyn. Your hood I think (maybe meserole and bushwick)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:38pm Carmichael:

My current govt job took about 3 months of interviews and background checks. Seems par for the course, sadly.

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:40pm Danne D:

Bethany is being really nice and playing a lot of music :) people should show their appreciation by pledging and get that pledgometer to go up!
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:41pm northguineahills:

That's my block, Mike, I need to look that up. Duct tape doesn't quit work, unless I'm going for a breathy timbre.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:43pm northguineahills:

Since we have Hungarian compers, how about some Ligeti (Gyorgy or Lukas [Lukas, the son, is American, but, yeah....])
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:43pm Andrew Waterloo:

I really enjoy the Andrew Bird stuff that I've discovered through FMU.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:44pm Mike East:

he does good work. though we just sent him a sousaphone that we had repaired with gaff tape and he sent it back and told us to bury 6 feet under. We will still rent it out as a prop, though. :)

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:49pm Andrew Waterloo:

@G, yah, it almost makes up for not grabbing Bryce's. But I will just add it to the list
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:50pm Danne D:

I always have a hard time picking out premiums each year
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:54pm Carmichael:

Maybe they could have a "random" category for those of us who have choice anxiety. Check the box and take your chances ...
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:57pm steve:

hey ho everybody... can anyone tell me if there's an easy way to change what premiums you're getting after you've already made the payment? id hate to bug Joe McG but if there's some easy autmated way i do urgently need Bryce's premium, about which id previously been unaware.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 4:59pm Andrew Waterloo:

@steve, I think you just need to call in
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:01pm northguineahills:

Email, steve, I've had the same problem nearly every year. (hopefully it'll be a problem this year as well ;)

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:07pm Sierra:

It is a joy to hear Bethany again! I am still learning the Tango from last year's premium;)
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:08pm Danne D:

@steve I thought they give you a chance to confirm/change your selections when the billing comes in. I hope that's still true as I didn't give a complete list of choices the first time around :)

is everyone else going to cocktail parties without me? i dont think ive ever been to one.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:17pm G:

i haven't since about the late 90s, steve. i was screwing around. rare, i know.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:18pm Carmichael:

I say "cocktail parties" sometimes, but in my case it translates to "keggers".
Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:18pm northguineahills:

I miss the days when I could mix in Bach, Lightning Bolt, Richie Hawtin, Mandarin language tapes, Fairport, Xenakis, and jungle mixtapes in the same dj set, and do better then break even in NYC (and make enough $ to support myself through grad school). Nostalgia notwithstanding, WFMU provides that daily, so, pledge for those who currently can't. (nudge your friends as well).

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:45pm northguineahills:

Yeah, by 2004, anybody w/ an iPod could dj, and most managers cared less about content, so, $ dried up for creative djing.

Avatar ♥   Fri. 3/8/13 5:56pm northguineahills:

Yeah, around 2004, I started working full-time +, and most of my dj friends/musicians had families, etc, so, I've lost contact w/ most. I've been to the Silent Barn a'many a times, but, I don't really know the folks there. I sometimes dj for Talibam! shows, and few other friends shindigs, but, those are gigs of labor of love (for the music and the friends).
