![]() Will swap it for a t-shirt, Michie. |
![]() |
![]() Ha! |
![]() |
![]() Folks, this is the "improved mix" of Peter's tune. He personally affirmed this. |
![]() |
![]() I appreciate that. |
![]() |
![]() Even if it's exactly the same as the old mix, it's better, because he's added...nothing |
![]() |
![]() Sorry but this song does nothing for me. |
![]() |
![]() aww, memories of the glory days of inappropriate music |
![]() |
![]() Well, that's not true actually. There's something about it that makes me vaguely angry at him. |

![]() Hi Mick, I've seen him live once and would go again without hesitation. Kenny Vaughn (Fabulous Superlatives' guitarist) plays on the new Pretenders LP and it is mighty fine, in my humble opinion. Of course Chrissie Hynde could record herself reading the phone book and I'd buy it. |

I remember Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1994 and people were just starting to complain about lofts renting for more than $600 dollars a month. Heh! NOW look at it! Its like Greenwich village in the 70's vs the 90's.... |

![]() I call that painting "Indianterrier." Found it at the JC Sal Army about an hour before the show. Price was $3.99, marked down to two bucks (special today!, but all I had was a five, which I gladly extended with "keep the change." Gonna hang this gorgeous acrylic somewhere here in the WFMU spirit lodge. |

![]() Thanks to Laura L for the quick Photoshop crop and alignment. |

You're welcome--ah, it's a terrier--I should have known with those electric green eyes, of COURSE it's a terrier. | |

![]() The Squawhunka tribe were known for bonding with terriers. Look it up. |

![]() If Joe Frank is looking for inspiration for more narratives, he could get in touch with Sarah from KC, the young lady from Dave Hill's show. |

I bet the last time this Joe Frank episode aired, I also commented that C&W music is full of the themes he says songs don't get around about. Maybe he'd say that's why C&W isn't so popular. | |

I just noticed how Indianterrier's left tassel is also the terrier's right front paw. Awwww. Let's see if we can squeeze them into Rushmore! | |

Wild Neil, last year I was priced out of the goddamn Bronx! So here I am in southern Sussex Co., NJ, where at least WMFU comes in well, sometimes even in stereo. Which reminds me: Unless she was pulling my leg, I'm afraid Bronwyn C. misunderstood me yesterday, & went to tell Field Marshal Ken about the sporadic E skip as a "problem with the Mt. Hope NY station", when in reality it's a natural phenomenon. Have I gotten enough milage out of the 3 comments I'm allowed on a show? | |

![]() Great tune this YLT. |

![]() Is this whole post-Joe Frank set in response to the issues raised in "Endings"? It's working! |

![]() We're going to have a remix contest with the MF ads. I'm compiling all for download. Next week we start. |
![]() |
![]() So prepare to hear even more of them! |

![]() Good day, Irwin. All. |

![]() If ya can't beat 'em, deconstruct 'em. |

![]() This is a first-class remake. Very diff from the original, but EB sounds prime. |

When the Ondioline (did I sp. that right?) Orchestra played last year, J-J P's daughter was in attendance; she sweetly said that just like J-J P, Wally is an angel. Aw. | |

Laura L:
Thank you, rrg! And Hello! | |
![]() |
![]() Monster track! |
![]() |
![]() On the other hand that particular Bad Plus song did reek a little of "This song is so hard that only WE know where the 1 is, so if you're tapping your foot, you're doing it wrong" |
![]() |
![]() Always great jazz around here. ( i 'm considering acquiring the Dave Liebman / Joe Lovano CD of Coltrane musics ) |
![]() |
![]() When I saw The Bad Plus Dave King played with Walkie-Talkies to do an Aphex Twin cover. |

![]() Chill Jazz mindful of space & texture - & also yet a million miles from 'SmoothJazz'... |
![]() |
![]() Host...maybe you already know this commercial? I just saw it for the first time recently. Will sound very similar to a singer you regularly feature (30 seconds) - youtu.be... |

![]() hello Irwin - I sincerely hope the CD of Raymond Scott Electronium music comes to pass someday |
