...wull ...there's two strategies - right ?!
...Either emulate the regular FMU-J's style - exceeding or @ least meeting a celebrated specialist @ their own game
...or - utterly dazzle us with something completely different & thrilling to a most discerning conglomerate of distinctive listeners
- w/ something new & unexpected on an entire station of truly extraordinary & unremittingly exceptional Musics & Culture...
Either way - no pressure !...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:54pm Franco Twinkie:

My enduring memory of our Mercury is looking down at it from the observation deck at the L.A. City Hall. When my dad pointed it out, a parking lot attendant was moving it across the street. To me it looked like a pill bug, it was that small. Then I did the spatial conversion in my head just about passed out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:55pm chresti:

Cars went through a revolving door when I was growing up as my dad sold used cars and would bring home different models he had a hankering for. Cant remember the first one, only that we could easily stand up in it.

i had tickets to see Donovan at The Open Center (i guess around the time it was released?)

I've only recently learned this song was by Yes. I'd hear it in cock-a-cocktail bars
Avatar ♥ 11:08pm slugluv1313:

@Franco -- right? it is like an endless cycle, maybe one out of 100 (or 1000!) will be successful?
same here in NYC area, every kid wanting to be a "famous" artist, actor, singer, whatever (well, accept for the trust fund kids who do not have to worry about such frivolous things like actually making a living)
btw, AMAZING playground! if that was near me, i would totally be going there every day too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm coelacanth∅:

i despised it the moment i heard it.
...like much of 80s music it could be salvaged with a cheezy synthesizer-deleting device... which i'm working on

hiya chresti, coela!
yes, i remember being a teenager and always looking for those etchings in LPs, 45s, etc. -- & would be all disappointed if there were none!

Hi Miss G!

Heya chresti! This is a great show! Happy I turned it on
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅:

yeah columbia (company) records never have anything interesting. nor do motown, i think.
...there was an overnight wfmu showhost in the 80s that asked people to call in with interesting etchings on their records. i called, and we talked for at least 10 minutes!
called back later with more, since hardly anyone was calling.

hüsker dü's zen arcade has something cool...i'll have to find it...

Classic Sisters!
  11:17pm Kelly Jones:

@coel

Probably Nick Hill?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah wasn't sure I'd ever hear SofM again. But FMU...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm Miss G:

Coel, what are we doing, looking for the runout? I pulled out Zen Arcade but maybe I have the boring version (nothing there) (have been playing "The Tooth Fairy and the Princess" nonstop lately)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm Franco Twinkie:

Oh, this is just too good!
  11:20pm Kelly Jones:

I be loving this show baby cakes
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm coelacanth∅:

hi Kelly -no not Nick Hill.
to be honest, i recorded it!
but i have about 1500 cassettes and i don't know which one

so many truths
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21pm coelacanth∅:

Miss G i could be mistaken... and also sometimes reissues don't have the same ones

Nick always answered the phone and loved to talk.

saw H S R at the Starwood - did they wear matching pajamas?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm Miss G:

Coel I guess there was a story where Zen Arcade was not available for a long time, so I must have gotten a reissue of a reissue (I so loved that version of To Sir With Love, thank you Mr. DJ)

Bouvier...HEY!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅:

Kelly did he? i don't know if i ever called him. i definitely spoke a few times with Stan, Tamar, Bethany (i know, they're later)
  11:25pm Kelly Jones:

This show is da bomb
  11:25pm Sleve McDichael:

NEVER apologize for playing owner of a lonely heart. I turned on the radio just as it started and it brought a huge smile to my face to hear it on WFMU. My only hope is that it also annoyed any snobs tuned in
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm coelacanth∅:

did they wear matching pajamas?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm Miss G:

Sleve McDichael you made me smile. Yesterday (?) I turned on Sheila B just when she was beginning a set of Genesis and I almost passed out from horror (but, was glad for those who enjoyed it)
  11:28pm Kelly Jones:

Coel…. I’m OLD! I do miss the days pre-social media when you could call and talk to your DJ and they’d answer the phone! I used to listen to Nick Hill in the 80s when I was at Pratt. He was a big flirt. It was totally awesome.
  11:28pm Will:

Killer sounds from Boston. Thanks Mr. DJ!
  11:28pm Kelly Jones:

Steve….

I TOTALLY agree!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm Miss G:

I was just telling a story to a friend about our mutual friend playing me a tutorial, after I had said (shouted) "I Hate King Crimson" and he showed me that no, indeed, I didn't hate them. *good memory*

honestly, it's freeform... 99.9% of it goes, just the .1% the fcc doesn't like is no good.
Avatar ♥ 11:29pm tak:

yes - owner(...) will never not make me think of my dad and listening to his records
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm Franco Twinkie:

Steve, it starts with finger in the eye of snobs and eventually brings down the wall.
Avatar ♥ 11:29pm slugluv1313:

PASTICHE!!! (from Boston?)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅:

i don't think any show host should apologise for playing what they want to hear.
i also am smart enough to know that not liking something doesn't make one a snob.
Avatar ♥ 11:32pm tak:

I hate SoMercy and I still have fond memories associated with them. that's how it goes!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm Franco Twinkie:

Kelly Jones, I'm old too! I use to call a local DJ at 3AM and prattle on about music, and one day she saw me in a restaurant and came up and kissed me!

hey slug and will: yeah, a set of bosstown punk
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm coelacanth∅:

heh, even that abomination, kiss, brings fond memories to mind, because of my downstairs neighbor who dressed like and painted her face like them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm luka:

those recent Radio Row sets on boston indie have been killer
  11:36pm sufferwords:

I remember matching pajamas of the sweat pants variety- maybe tie-dyed - Starwood closed in ‘81
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm Miss G:

Franco re: DJs, recently I found a handwritten note I got from NY DJ Meg Griffin, because I had written her to say "play more Ramones!" Those were the days
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm chresti:

A lot of stuff that get's played would not be something I would normally listen to, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm coelacanth∅:

i never thought about contacting Meg Griffin, but i remember a few years before that, when my older brother had the radio on at bedtime, Alison Steele reading a letter on air saying she's a foxy lady, and that he'll (the sender) be getting an album in the mail!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm coelacanth∅:

sufferwords i'm a tad envious
Avatar ♥ 11:41pm slugluv1313:

and The Poles! from Toronto? still have this 45 too

and Frightwig!!! saw them open for the Butthole Surfers at Maxwell's -- one in our group described them as "like Barbie on bad acid" -- but i loved them!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41pm Miss G:

coelacanth∅, yes, I have practiced my Alison Steele voice a lot! And thank you for that Zen ARcade runout, so interesting, I will look up my LP on discogs tomorrow.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm Jack Mello:

that poles single is a punk classic. and I saw frightwig open for redd Kross at danceteria, the crowd hated them!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm coelacanth∅:

the clash usually had good etchings, as i recall
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:43pm chresti:

I regularly called Maki's show on KXLU to ask what was playing.
Avatar ♥ 11:44pm slugluv1313:

Meg Griffin, Alison Steele -- oh yes those were the days
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44pm Miss G:

Oh, Danceteria, how you taunted us and teased us and tormented us and tantalized us!
