Hellllo!!

♥ 12:03am pacific standard simon:

Howdy toots!

♥ 12:03am Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Therese. How are you feeling? It's been a heck of a week. Wow. This time of year, I like to hear a speech about dreams. www.americanrhetoric.com...

♥ 12:04am coelacanth:

hi Therese and everyone

♥ 12:05am Tome:

helooooo ,, mo mo better awight awigh yea , therese !

♥ 12:05am Therese:

Hellloooo!

12:06am BadGuyZero:

Hiya!

♥ 12:09am ! I X Key !:

)o:

12:09am JakeGould:

Toots & the Maytals did not win the Powerball.

♥ 12:09am ! I X Key !:

You remind me of the corzetti

♥ 12:10am Alejandroool:

heyyyyy everyone! and no, Toots didn't even pick enough numbers...

♥ 12:10am pacific standard simon:

Heavy Trash sounds like Hasil Adkins trying to imitate early Fleetwood Mac.

♥ 12:11am Matt from Springfield:

64-649 is your number.

Hi Therese and everyone! MLK Day - how bout some Brian Eno-produced U2, huh!!

♥ 12:12am pacific standard simon:

Remind me to pick "32-20 built on a 45 frame".

12:12am JakeGould:

Jerry Hall won the Powerballs™ with Rupert Murdoch, huh! (wakka wakka)

♥ 12:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

There should be an FMU lottery pool: anybody wins - goes to the Station.

♥ 12:13am Matt from Springfield:

Each Marathon pledge gets a number - to me, I already feel like a winner!

♥ 12:13am Bronwyn Bishop:

Hi Therese!

♥ 12:14am pacific standard simon:

play your listener number -- it's right there on your pledge bill

♥ 12:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...except that - they're always a waste of money - cause some trash @ a lower latitude always wins...

12:19am BadGuyZero:

ME TRIVIA: I use the start times of songs on FMU playlists to pick my Powerball numbers. I've won four bucks a few times, but overall I'm in the red.

♥ 12:19am Bronwyn Bishop:

I love this song! My parents had this CD and hearing the songs from it always reminds me of riding in the backseat as a child. My favorite was Closing Time. I made my mom play it over and over.

♥ 12:21am Matt from Springfield:

L. Cohen!

@BGZ: The problem might be playing start times on past playlists. The answer is prob right in front of you, on a playlist that airs *after* you play the lotto.

♥ 12:23am pacific standard simon:

81 years young...

♥ 12:24am Alejandroool:

normally some of the production on this era bugs me, but this one is ok to me, right now..

12:25am BadGuyZero:

I like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' cover of "Tower Of Song." It's my favorite track from the Leonard Cohen tribute album "I'm Your Fan."

♥ 12:25am Alejandroool:

one of my earliest memories with music was my mom's Cohen cd's, reading the lyrics to Suzanne

♥ 12:26am Matt from Springfield:

"I'm Your FAN"! :)

12:26am BadGuyZero:

@Matt: I need to borrow Obama's time machine so I can view future FMU playlists.

♥ 12:27am pacific standard simon:

My ex left me her Leonard Cohen CDs -- win!

♥ 12:27am Matt from Springfield:

@Alejandroool: Wow, quite the poetic start. I never heard of that song until I was 21.

@BGZ: Just don't have so much fun w/ the future playlists that you forget to play the numbers to begin with!

♥ 12:28am coelacanth:

it was me. all 3 tickets were mine in fact.
i bought sushi.

♥ 12:28am pacific standard simon:

If I won the lottery, I'd buy the station, then donate it back.

♥ 12:28am coelacanth:

Therese, by the way- you handled the unfolding of last week's show as a master.

♥ 12:29am pacific standard simon:

It's all your fault, Therese -- you killed him!

♥ 12:29am Bronwyn Bishop:

Lots of Bowie at karaoke last night.

I have been listening to his version of Brel's "My Death" a lot.

♥ 12:30am Matt from Springfield:

Coming to terms...Bowie is gone, but Zoolander (2) lives on.
(Wonder if he filmed a cameo for that! Oh well, we'll always have the "Runway Judge" from the 1st one! ;)

♥ 12:30am coelacanth:

a Bowie-less world will take some getting used to.

♥ 12:30am pacific standard simon:

There's been so many of these "coming to terms" in the musical life.

♥ 12:31am Matt from Springfield:

@PSS: It's Obama's time machine's fault! It killed him during Therese's show - hours AFTER it killed him!

You'd better watch that thing, next thing you know it'll go back to Benghazi a few years ago, mark my words!!

12:31am BadGuyZero:

@Matt: And his appearance on "Extras."

12:32am JakeGould:

Nightclubbing? Been listening to that all week.

12:32am BadGuyZero:

David Bowie is indeed on "The Passenger."

12:32am JakeGould:

OMFG! I got it!

♥ 12:32am coelacanth:

he played on the lust for life album,yes.

♥ 12:32am Matt from Springfield:

SO glad Scott W. pulled that one out last Monday, I had forgotten I saw that on HBO years ago :)

12:32am sugarwolf:

do you mean an amazing artist who shares a birthday with you?? Because yes, don't play that artist!!!

♥ 12:32am pacific standard simon:

The only time I ever saw Bowie was when he played keyboards for Iggy on tour in '77.

♥ 12:32am Bronwyn Bishop:

Yay Iggy Pop!

♥ 12:33am coelacanth:

oh! BGZ...i'm so slow.

12:35am BadGuyZero:

@coelcanth: Your post was a few seconds after mine. I bet you were on the "preview your comment" screen when my comment posted.

♥ 12:36am Alejandroool:

great sounds on this one

♥ 12:36am pacific standard simon:

This song, on headphones, you can hear Iggy singing with himself. On "Funtime", you can hear Bowie singing.

♥ 12:37am Tome:

yeah ... :(

12:37am JakeGould:

Do the Oogie!!!

♥ 12:37am Matt from Springfield:

Wow, this one is great, never heard "Slip Away" before..

♥ 12:38am Bronwyn Bishop:

Oh Bowie :( I found out after watching the Golden Globes, and they seemed so stupid and irrelevant after that. Then I woke up the next morning and remembered and had a horrible sinking feeling. I hate that there's a whole incredible generation of musicians who will all be gone sooner rather than later.

12:39am sugarwolf:

It is so crazy and amazing that David Bowie wrote a song about Uncle Floyd.

♥ 12:40am Therese:

Right?!

♥ 12:40am pacific standard simon:

I suppose everybody who cares about music has that one artist whose death will turn the world upside down. For a lot of people, it was Elvis. For me, it was Zappa. I sympathize with those of you for whom it was Bowie.

♥ 12:41am Bronwyn Bishop:

For me it's going to be Brian Wilson. I'm going to be a goddamn wreck.

I hope I haven't just jinxed him.

♥ 12:41am Alejandroool:

well put, simon

♥ 12:41am Matt from Springfield:

Uncle Floyd shout out! :D
Bowie's liking of Uncle Floyd on TV was mentioned by someone here.

♥ 12:41am coelacanth:

for me it's a few dozen people, so far.

♥ 12:42am Matt from Springfield:

Thanks PSS.

♥ 12:42am Alejandroool:

hadn't heard that one either, great slinking verse on Slip Away

♥ 12:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

@pss - Yeah, for me, it was Stevie Ray Vaughn. I was highly depressed for a month when he died.

12:42am V Priceless:

Hey Therese. Thanx for the Bowie. I can't even begin to imagine what an emotional roller coaster last week's show must have been for you. Been a rough week, but just back from Woodmansey/Visconti gig here on LI. Fabulous and uplifting sonic celebration.

12:43am JakeGould:

“Vivino (who is now 63 and still performs frequently in the Garden Stage) told me, in a 2002 interview for The Star-Ledger, that Bowie once told him John Lennon had introduced him to the show.” www.njarts.net...

♥ 12:43am Bronwyn Bishop:

Cool cover! TV on the Radio's cover is great too.

♥ 12:43am Matt from Springfield:

We can be "Heroes"!

♥ 12:44am pacific standard simon:

I bet there's a Marathon premium in a CD of covers of "Heroes"...

♥ 12:45am pacific standard simon:

Did Bruce Springsteen ever cover this? He should have.

12:46am BadGuyZero:

I bet there's enough covers of "Life On Mars" to fill a CD.

♥ 12:46am Therese:

Springsteen covered "Rebel Rebel" at a show in Pittsburgh this week.

♥ 12:47am Matt from Springfield:

I always thought U2 could've covered this song - imagine my surprise when, years later, I discovered the Brian Eno producer connection between the bands (see comment above).

♥ 12:47am Matt from Springfield:

GrrrrREAT choice for Bruce, Therese!

♥ 12:48am pacific standard simon:

Losing Brian Eno would be hard to take, too, but I have a feeling he's going to out-live me. Probably look like Gollum by then.

♥ 12:49am Matt from Springfield:

How Ronsonian of you! W00t!

12:49am V Priceless:

Great Ronson! Woo!

12:49am egal:

Madonna covered Rebel Rebel last week as well.

♥ 12:49am pacific standard simon:

@ Therese - Really?! Somehow, I think of them as complimentary artists.

12:49am BadGuyZero:

I misread "Gollum" as "Goldblum" and was trying to imagine Brian Eno looking like Jeff Goldblum.

♥ 12:50am Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: As a kid I didn't quite "get" Jeff Goldblum - but now I like him! He is an acquired taste, indeed.

12:51am BadGuyZero:

He's like Christopher Walken Lite.

♥ 12:51am pacific standard simon:

And Madonna wouldn't have the same career without Bowie's influence.

♥ 12:52am Matt from Springfield:

OH! :D

♥ 12:53am Alejandroool:

My favourite Goldblum role is in (Crononberg's) The Fly

♥ 12:53am Matt from Springfield:

@PSS: If we were to get into all the major and minor influences of Bowie on subsequent artists, how very many would not be around today or have a very different aesthetic..

♥ 12:53am Alejandroool:

Cronenberg* eesh

♥ 12:53am pacific standard simon:

Always liked Jeff Goldblum -- he just keeps getting better. His cameos on The Colbert Report, ha!

♥ 12:54am Matt from Springfield:

Peter Noone even covered this song:

"Noone replaced Bowie's line "The Earth is a bitch" with "The Earth is a beast", in a performance that NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called "one of rock and roll's most outstanding examples of a singer failing to achieve any degree of empathy whatsoever with the mood and content of a lyric." " ;D

♥ 12:55am Tome:

existenz

♥ 12:55am Matt from Springfield:

Heh, those are great PSS!

12:57am BadGuyZero:

I heard a story about when Peter Weller was offered the role in "Naked Lunch" he asked Goldblum about his experience working with Cronenberg. Goldblum told him to be prepared to get some of the weirdest fan mail ever.

I don't know if that story is true. But I want it to be.

♥ 12:57am coelacanth:

yeh it's likely Eno's departure will hit me harder than anyone's - ever...with the exception of David S.Ware; and maybe George Harrison.

12:58am BadGuyZero:

"Uncle Floyd" was syndicated to some extent in the early 80s. It aired on a UHF station in Dallas.

♥ 12:59am pacific standard simon:

I keep imagining John Waters watching "Cooking With Nancy Grace". I'm sure he does.

www.hlntv.com...

1:01am BadGuyZero:

Kirstie Alley's character from "Star Trek II?"

1:02am BadGuyZero:

Oh wait...that was Saavik.

♥ 1:04am pacific standard simon:

Don Nix should be in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame just for "Going Down" alone.

♥ 1:06am coelacanth:

Evan did an excellent David Bowie tribute which is not listed on the fmu home page: wfmu.org...

♥ 1:07am Matt from Springfield:

JAWS!
Later featured in "Happy Gilmore", wearing a T-shirt with the first time I saw the phrase "Guns don't kill people, *I* kill people!"

♥ 1:08am Matt from Springfield:

Ah, Explorers Room! That DJ does amazing theme episodes. Thanks for the rec, coela.

1:10am BadGuyZero:

"Mr. Richard Kiel" is alright if you like saxophones.

♥ 1:11am pacific standard simon:

Death kills people, guns just make it 551 times more likely.

♥ 1:12am Therese:

Jaws- one of the only Bond villains with a character arc.

♥ 1:15am pacific standard simon:

Blofeld is the one.

BTW, Tim Curry will be returning to The Rocky Horror Show. Not in fishnets, I'm happy to report. In the Charles Grey role.

1:16am JakeGould:

@Therese: I loved when he had a girlfriend in Moonraker.

♥ 1:17am pacific standard simon:

Er, Charles Gray.

♥ 1:17am Therese:

Yeah, but Blofeld never fell in love in SPACE!

♥ 1:18am Ken From Hyde Park:

There's talk of an upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie.

1:19am BadGuyZero:

I believe this is the first time that "Moonraker" has been mentioned on the playlist in back-to-back weeks. I think this a sixth-sign-of-the-apocalypse situation.

♥ 1:20am Matt from Springfield:

@Ken HP: Yeah, but it's probably going to be a dark, anti-hero epic directed by Christopher Nolan...
Seriously though, Tim Burton was ideal to do it the first time, I hope he directs it again.

♥ 1:20am pacific standard simon:

BUT, Blofeld had a clone, or an identical twin! They probably had teh secks together!

1:20am BadGuyZero:

@Ken: It's debuting on Netflix in March.

♥ 1:21am Matt from Springfield:

At the very least, HuffPo is going to come out tomorrow with some kind of "Moonraker's Surprising Comeback!" malarkey because of this.

1:21am BadGuyZero:

What if Pee Wee Herman had portrayed Austin Powers?

♥ 1:22am pacific standard simon:

@BadGuyZero - Then I would have gone to see those movies.

♥ 1:22am Matt from Springfield:

"If you think she's so sexy why don't you MARRY her? Yeah baby! BREAK dance!!..."

♥ 1:24am pacific standard simon:

Pee-Wee would never wear a chest wig. Sorry.

1:25am BadGuyZero:

Doctor Evil's secret lair is in the basement of the Alamo.

♥ 1:27am Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ ;D
When you "won" Meghan's theme episode and she played "Texas" songs, I was thrilled she played the original version of the song that everyone in San Antonio sings on demand.

♥ 1:27am Matt from Springfield:

Ah, Alvino Ray & His Orchestra, "Deep in the Heart of Texas":
wfmu.org...

1:29am BadGuyZero:

That song is kind of a big deal down here.

♥ 1:31am pacific standard simon:

What, it wasn't "Across The Alley From The Alamo"?

www.youtube.com...

1:31am V Priceless:

what fish said at 1:06, add Diane Kamikaze and Todd-o to the list too! Yay! Diane's 25 minute loop of "Chant of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family'at the end of the entire 'Diamond Dogs' was especially lovely.

1:34am KP:

Hello from the great southwest, Therese

♥ 1:35am pacific standard simon:

I believe Mark R. requested that 25-minute loop last Monday morning -- he was quite unhappy about the shortness of the original.

♥ 1:35am Matt from Springfield:

Deep in the Heart of...somewhere! Hi there KP.

♥ 1:36am pacific standard simon:

Give me the yellow rose any day.

1:36am BadGuyZero:

I wonder if there was ever a vinyl release of "Diamond Dogs" that had a locked groove at the end of side two.

♥ 1:37am pacific standard simon:

You would think, BadGuyZero, but I never heard of it.

1:37am V Priceless:

@ pacific: that's funny. Bill Mac was saying the same thing this week!

♥ 1:38am pacific standard simon:

Hmm, maybe it was Bill Mac...

♥ 1:40am pacific standard simon:

Yes, you're right. The tributes have blurred together in my memory.

1:41am BadGuyZero:

I'm looking on Discogs to see if there's a note about one on any of the numerous versions of "Diamond Dogs."

1:44am P-90:

OK, more than halfway through the show and no "Holy Crap" momemt. Yet.

1:47am BadGuyZero:

I looked at every 1970s vinyl version of "Diamond Dogs." None of the Discogs entries mention a locked groove. Missed opportunity there.

♥ 1:48am pacific standard simon:

Nothing at the Wikipedia section for locked grooves, either. Agree.

♥ 1:52am Ken From Hyde Park:

Holy crap! There are (as I type this) two people born in 1899 and are still living! I hope this doesn't jinx them.

1:52am rw:

pss and BGZ, you guys should get together and make a bootleg with the locked groove.

♥ 1:55am coelacanth:

Therese this set Rules!

♥ 1:56am coelacanth:

...and the last set also Ruled!!

♥ 1:57am Matt from Springfield:

I've been hoping for the option to Star 'sets' within shows, not just songs or shows as a whole!

♥ 1:57am coelacanth:

i want to turn it WAY up, but it's almost the witching hour.

1:57am BadGuyZero:

We'll do a thing on Instructables about how to create a locked groove on "Diamond Dogs" using a razor blade.

♥ 1:58am pacific standard simon:

If it isn't on this LP:

store.wfmustore.org...

then it ain't worth having,

♥ 1:58am Matt from Springfield:

Self-locking grooves!!! We're doomed!

1:59am BadGuyZero:

That locked groove is the seventh sign of the apocalypse!

♥ 1:59am coelacanth:

Matt, i've always thought the same thing.

...but i guess it could conceivably insult some djs,right?

♥ 2:00am Matt from Springfield:

And to top it off, IBM's Watson is now in commercials - a short step to full-on Skynet. "Watson" isn't an anagram of Skynet, BUT it IS an anagram of "Sawnot". Too close for comfort.

On Jeopardy Watson's main weakness was puns, little contexts it couldn't grasp. So let's switch to a pun-based economy now, in preparation!

2:00am BadGuyZero:

Some of the first pressings of Slayer's "Reign In Blood" have a locked groove at the end of side two. The falling rain sound goes on forever.

2:01am JakeGould:

@BadGuyZero: Sounds like a thing for “Destructables!”

♥ 2:01am coelacanth:

happy anniversary.

♥ 2:01am Matt from Springfield:

@coela: It would be nice if each show host could decide whether to turn it on or not. Just to praise particularly well-crafted sets.

♥ 2:01am pacific standard simon:

I would "star" sets just as rarely as I "star" whole shows.

2:02am BadGuyZero:

I starred a few things when that feature was first added. Then I proceeded to forget all about it.

2:05am JakeGould:

I starred Mary Wing’s (with Julie) show last night. 3 hours of covers!

♥ 2:07am coelacanth:

yes. it's for the wiser dj who knows 1)the set gets a star IN RELATION TO other sets in the program,
and 2) that no one can ever be anyone's everything!

♥ 2:07am pacific standard simon:

I "star" programs to give a general indication of what kind of music I prefer, and "star" songs to remind myself of things to investigate in the future. Rarely, I "star'" a particular show that blows me away. You know.

2:09am victorwooten:

Great show as always

♥ 2:11am coelacanth:

i star things strictly for my own reference. i quite doubt that anyone else ever looks at them.
...if i thought so i'd star things with completely different guidelines.
(i.e. i never star songs that i own a copy of.)

♥ 2:14am pacific standard simon:

@Therese - I thought this Speed the Plough song was The Monkees' "As We Go Along", at first. Excellent foolery!

♥ 2:16am coelacanth:

i star lots of episodes. if i particularly enjoyed it, why let it remain stored,unloved, during those times (the minority though they are) when live wfmu is not for me?

2:17am BadGuyZero:

I starred my favorite FMU programs. I was starring songs I liked so that I could look into buying the record later instead of having dozens of tabs open in my web browser during a show. But I'm a bit of a creature of habit. I quit starring songs because I still looked for them during a show.

♥ 2:17am pacific standard simon:

@coelacanth - I frequently look at the profile pages of other WFMU fans.

♥ 2:19am coelacanth:

simon, i do as well, but not usually the favorites lists.

2:19am Ice in Brooklyn:

I finally hooked up an antennae to my stereo. I'm staying tuned in

♥ 2:20am Alejandroool:

BGZ: ditto on avoiding the sprawling open tabs... I star for later reference

2:20am Ice in Brooklyn:

Hi coel!

2:21am Ice in Brooklyn:

again

♥ 2:22am Alejandroool:

antennae arrivals

2:22am BadGuyZero:

ME TRIVIA: If I hear whistling in a song I try to whistle along even though

a. I can barely whistle
b. I probably have never heard the song that has the whistling

2:22am Ice in Brooklyn:

I star songs for me

♥ 2:22am pacific standard simon:

@Ice in Brooklyn - make the dipole antenna!

♥ 2:22am coelacanth:

Ice, since i got my antenna fixed i have it rigged as i have since the 90s...my light switch upon entering my apartment turns on wfmu.

♥ 2:23am coelacanth:

...and hi!

2:23am BadGuyZero:

If being able to barely whistle were a mutant power I would be king of the X-Men.

♥ 2:24am Matt from Springfield:

"Our hypnotizing whistle isn't working! One of those Mutants must be jamming it! Man, is that sound jarring!"

♥ 2:25am coelacanth:

when people cannot whistle it's because that power is being diverted. it's up to you to find your superpower.

♥ 2:26am pacific standard simon:

I cannot whistle; it's because I have British teeth.

♥ 2:27am coelacanth:

hahaha!

♥ 2:28am coelacanth:

i'm not sure that's a superpower.

♥ 2:29am Alejandroool:

thx for that Lily Chao, Therese, lovely recording

2:30am rw:

coelacanth, what if you want to listen to the radio in the dark?

♥ 2:30am pacific standard simon:

My superpower is a capacity for alcohol. I kid you not.

2:31am rw:

Dang. I want a superpower.

♥ 2:31am Matt from Springfield:

I'm a superconductor of alcohol - I put out more into my blood than I take in! Super-Drunk!

♥ 2:32am Alejandroool:

Keep on liftin', rw

♥ 2:33am Matt from Springfield:

Oooh! It's like Mickie Most on the other side of the Channel!

2:33am JakeGould:

I wonder if there is a superintendent out there who was once a train conductor who says, “Hey! I’m a superconductor!”

♥ 2:33am coelacanth:

rw, the light has a switch on it. the wall switch controls an electrical outlet that both the light and the receiver are plugged into.

♥ 2:39am pacific standard simon:

I bet Matt Berry is touching himself while he's singing this.

♥ 2:39am coelacanth:

i unintentionally but willingly cut way back on my alcohol intake - gradually, starting about 2 years ago. my tolerance has plummeted. it sucks.
i drink 3 beers and feel like crap for a day.
...3 years ago i could drink 12 strong whiskey drinks and people couldn't even tell i was drunk.

Oh, I have a VCR that works that way, but only because I ran out of outlets.

@BGZ: Tangential, but I managed to get my hands on that de-specialized, HD version of “Star Wars” (the original) and it’s pretty great. Truly a wonderful the fan community did there.

Sweet, eclectic sounds this set!

rw i have a small apartment, but i've rigged the electricity pretty well. practically everything is on power strips and i turn everything off when i leave except the refrigerator. i use dimmers too, for ambiance but more to preserve light bulbs.

When I was a kid, I drank three or four beers and had to throw up. Nowadays, it's like sodapop. The evolution of the aged body, I guess.

2:49am BadGuyZero:

I used to drink A LOT. Then a few years ago I had a medical emergency and it was recommended that I drastically reduce my alcohol intake. Which I did. After my gallbladder was removed last year I pretty much had to quit drinking. I have a beer/cocktail or two once in a while. Now I drink club soda when I'm in social situations that involve booze consumption.

2:51am BadGuyZero:

@JakeGould: Yay! Those are the best thing to have until Disney gets around to officially releasing the original versions on blu ray.

@BGZ - tonic and lime is good, too.

Kirsty! Always a winner, Always, Remembered...

@BGZ: Well, I have the 1977 original. I have an LD transfer of “The Empire Strikes Back.” But as someone who grew up with the films, “The Force Awakens” solidified my feelings towards “Return of the Jedi”: I don’t like it. So I ditched that flick. I only believe in the original “Star Wars” and “The Empire Strikes Back.”

♥ 2:54am pacific standard simon:

Yeah. I hope the bastard who killed her gets his just deserts.

2:55am JakeGould:

I saw “Return of the Jedi” twice in 2 weeks: Once with my freak friends… Another with my geek friends… I hated it then. I hate it now.
