Mon. 6/16/08 12:13pm From: Sean Daily

Where can I get this Eric Chenaux track, Liz!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:14pm From: Liz B.

Hi everyone, had a full night's worth of sleep on this Monday, lovely! Sean, try cstrecords.com for Eric Chenaux.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:14pm From: Sara

Eric Chenaux? Toronto boy! Formerly of the most excellent Phleg Camp... nice to hear him round these parts, thanks Liz.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:14pm From: sebastian in santiago

hey liz. i see the south remains faithful. qué tal gerardo, my brother in alienation.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:19pm From: north guinea hills

must....get.... the.... electronic music from high schools disc! i checked out a computer music magazine from 1969 from a florida library back in 1998, and it had a flexidisc of junior high students making electronic music.... super rad!!! (i shamelessly lifted it)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:19pm From: gerardo

seba, compadre, qui wiiina, "va-mos chile, caramba..." - how could we possibly feel alienated, ;)?

so you slept all nite long, liz? - what a joy, what a pleasure. i admit i love sleeping, specially with this freezing cold winter we're experiencing here

Mon. 6/16/08 12:22pm From: paw

yaah! what is that electronic music from high schools?! very very good stuff. thanks as always liz.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:25pm From: HotRod

ooh...I like Liz on at noon!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:26pm From: Sean Daily

This set is kicking of the very much ass, Liz. Yet another reason for me to quit my job so I can just sit in front the computer and vedge.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:27pm From: paw

sean... that's why you need to get a job that involves sitting in front of a computer :)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:28pm From: north guinea hills

sean, that's what i do at my job anyways. as long as i can drag my corpse in to my office, i get paid.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:28pm From: HotRod

Anyone going to see Venetian Snares tonight at the Knitting Factory NYC?

Mon. 6/16/08 12:29pm From: jonathan

dragging the corpse...i say and feel that every morn.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:31pm From: north guinea hills

ahshiiitt, i forgot about the venetian snares show. i really want to go, but i'm trying to be frugal so i can rent my own apt w/ my gf w/o any roommates by sept.... damnit!!!!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:32pm From: efd

I'm really enjoying this track by The Field... I feel like I should have a strobe light in my office.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:32pm From: north guinea hills

liz, kudos on the field... wtf??? your good night's sleep is paying off for us listeners (who didn't get much sleep)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:37pm From: Martin from Stockholm, Sweden

Hey Liz!

I'm so much looking forward to Cryptacize today!

Love your show!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:37pm From: Ike

My job requires that I repetitively crank the computer hard, at all times -- or else! With terrible pay! How do I get a job where I just have to show up and listen to FMU? My corpse is heavy today. Only FMU keeps me sane. Great set.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:39pm From: north guinea hills

i work for the federal gov't... it's sucks ass, but i get paid enough to live in nyc and i can listen to wfmu all day (i'm a cartographer)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:39pm From: HotRod

Damn, this Friel track is nice!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:42pm From: jordan

First time listener--I've enjoyed the show so far, particularly the last three tracks (and especially the Pas Chic Chic! song--what can I say, I like fuzz). I've got to go back to work--for some strange reason, I don't think my radio @ work in White Plains, NY picks up FMU, so I'll have to listen to the rest on archive later!

EDIT: I'll leave after Swell Maps. AWESOME PICK, LIZ

Mon. 6/16/08 12:48pm From: north guinea hills

swell maps, perfect band for my profession.... thanks liz!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:50pm From: Laurie

This is why Norwegians are the happiest people on earth: http://atvs.vg.no/player/?id=16995

Mon. 6/16/08 12:50pm From: Parq

NGH, you're with the feds? I'm with the state. Hang in there, gov work gets better with longevity.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:51pm From: Ike

I love maps. Maybe I should go back to school and become a cartographer. <sigh>

Mon. 6/16/08 12:54pm From: swami

County government in the house! I guess all we need are some townies!

Mon. 6/16/08 12:54pm From: gerardo

ahh, the sweet reminiscence of skipping vinyls

Mon. 6/16/08 12:55pm From: north guinea hills

Parq, i used to work for the city, it was more fun but the pay sucked....
if i left nyc, i could easily get a better paying job in the private sector, but then i would have to leave nyc...

and Ike, I love GIS and cartography, i actually love what i do, i just hate bullshit i have to put up w/ while working for a bureaucracy.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:56pm From: Cecile

I am also a guvmint employee, and what Parq says is usually true in regard to public sector. Outlive your oppressors. ;)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:58pm From: north guinea hills

thanks cecile & parq, it's always good to have ye ole morale boosted :)

Mon. 6/16/08 12:59pm From: Swami

I like my gubmint job. It helps that I get to go into the field for casework at my discretion. Doesn't get too stagnant, but I do hate to have to leave theses awesome tunes. . . hang in there; the little victories make it beaable. C ya later.

Mon. 6/16/08 12:59pm From: swami

and "bearable" too!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:00pm From: Laurie

Awwwwww, the Norwegian lioness is grooming her cubs and making them fall over. :)))))

Mon. 6/16/08 1:02pm From: gerardo

and now, cassettes. yeah!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:06pm From: Cecile

hey finn-core!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:07pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Hi Liz!!!
I'm loving these last two tracks (Eppu Normaali and The Wuds). What language(s) are they singing in? I like when I don't understand the words, then I can just make up my own story.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:07pm From: Parq

Ah, we have a subculture of civil servants. No wonder we're always so civil.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:08pm From: Martin

found an interesting homepage: lizberg.com

Didn't know you had band Liz! :)

Mon. 6/16/08 1:08pm From: blanketship

hi liz greetings from cold and foggy SF!.bumm i missed electronic music from high schools.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:08pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Ah, you just answered my questions on the air. perfect! thanks. Never heard Filipino punk before. Nice!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:09pm From: Charlie

What is the song playing in the background from?! I recognize it from a cartoon or video game or something, and I can't start doing the dishes until I remember.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:10pm From: Cecile

and servile. ;D

not really.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:10pm From: Parq

Skippy and Hissy would make good names for goldfish.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:15pm From: SueB

OMG -- the irony is seething!!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:15pm From: Liz B.

Background music is XOC's version of the Super Mario Bros. 3 theme.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:15pm From: Laurie

Is this lunch break going to include Lunchbox?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:17pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

oh goodness. this eddie money song is so terrible I have to stick around to see what else is moldering in the lunch box. :-D

Mon. 6/16/08 1:17pm From: Cecile

IGH. 20 years hasn't made it better.

Can we have Ronnie and Joey Ramone doing "you can't put your arms a memory?"

Mon. 6/16/08 1:18pm From: Sean Daily

Oh noes! It is the Assault of the Eddies!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:18pm From: Cecile

OK. now you have to play the Sharam (deep dish) version of this...

Mon. 6/16/08 1:19pm From: dc pat

AAAAhhh! CUT IT OUT!!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:19pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

I guess the FCC won't let you play "Boogie in Your Butt" This must be the consolation prize.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:19pm From: gerardo

"Skippy and Hissy ..." there's lot of that @ great ubuweb site

Eddie Money came to our local Festival de Vina del Mar in the late 80s or early 90s.... Nobody here knew who he was.

ah, the 80s - there's another nightmarish nostalgic wave around...

Mon. 6/16/08 1:20pm From: jonathan

good lord! eddie murphy, bruce willis and don johnson all had songs out at the same time. fuck 1985/86!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:20pm From: JJZ

Aw yeah, Party all the Time.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:21pm From: Parq

Dropkick Murphys next. Can we get from Eddie Money to, oh, say, the Runaways in six moves?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:21pm From: Cecile

Sharam's stupid, tasteless and somewhat funny remix of the original Party video. may be NSFW:

Mon. 6/16/08 1:21pm From: Ghengis Jung

Is Rick Astley coming up?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: Cecile

I liked '85/86, but I prefer to think of the Wipers, Nick Cave and the first Dinosaur album more....

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: Laurie

We're getting Rick Rolled.

Odds we're going to Billy Ocean? Get out of my dream, Trouble.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: Dan

A band on my friend's label had "The Eddie Money Boys' Choir" sing on one of their tunes. I don't know what that means exactly, but it's awesome.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: JJZ

80s Eddies!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: Cecile

Eddy Cleanhead Vincent

Eddie izzard

Mon. 6/16/08 1:22pm From: Laurie

Oooooh, I shoulda called it. It's an all Eddie/y Set, eh?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:23pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I was just thinking of this Elec Ave song the other day. I liked it then, I like it now.

Liz, this is an Eddie set, isn't it? What do I win?!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:23pm From: Laurie

I saw Eddie Izzard on Saturday!!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:23pm From: gerardo

so "the secret word for tonite" -as frank zappa used to say- is eddy

Mon. 6/16/08 1:24pm From: Cecile

Same here, Wendy. The lyrics are a lot darker than that happy, happy beat.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:24pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

I'm jealous, Laurie. I loves me some Eddie Izzard. Funny and sexy all in one package.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:25pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Cecile: yeah, and in addition, Elec Ave just f'in ROCKS

Mon. 6/16/08 1:26pm From: Scott Eeee

I feel old

Mon. 6/16/08 1:26pm From: dc pat

I'm with Cecile, 85/86 was SST paradise.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:26pm From: gerardo

i prefer his other expression better: "conceptual continuity clue"

"funny and sexy..." that sounds good

Mon. 6/16/08 1:28pm From: Charlie

Ahhh, I thought it was Super Mario, but I thought it was the second one, not the third. My brain is getting old. Oh, and this song is the pinnacle of Eddie Murphy's career, I swear.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:28pm From: Laurie

Otto von Schirach, Miami's finest!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:28pm From: Dan

It's Super Mario World for SNES.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:29pm From: Liz B.

Thanks Dan, I get the Marios mixed up!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:30pm From: Charlie

Amebix, now this is some music to make BBQ chicken to!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:30pm From: SueB

my 11 yr old is now singing "Electric Avenue" quietly to himself in his room.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:30pm From: Cecile

Everything from that Amebix disc sounds great whenever I've heard it. Hunh. wonder why I missed them the firset time around.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:31pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

SueB: Hey, I used to do that when I was 11, too, which is about when that song came out. Cool!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:32pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Amebix is also good music to write about cheese to!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:33pm From: Cecile

God, now I feel really old.

I'll have some cheese and some grilled chicken please.

Oh, man I saw Rachid Taha a few years back. Wild show...

Mon. 6/16/08 1:39pm From: Charlie

The only reason I'm even making chicken is to test this batch of Bourbon BBQ sauce I made. I did something different and I'm nervous.

Oh, and I want cheese real bad now.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:42pm From: Laurie

Wendy, are the caseophile lady?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:42pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

I want cheese, too! I only get to write about it today. The heat we've been having in NJ has given me a tummy-ache. No cheese + having to write about it = TORTURE! :-(
Good luck w/ your BBQ chicken ,Charlie. Sounds good!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:43pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Laurie: Yup, that's me. :-)

Mon. 6/16/08 1:46pm From: Laurie

Everything tastes better with cheese. It's a scientifically proven fact.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:47pm From: dc pat

what's your favorite cheese right now Wendy?

Mon. 6/16/08 1:47pm From: Charlie

The only convenient thing about this heat is that I recently lost my job, so I can just sit around all day in my bathing suit, and sometimes just take a shower and sit around soaking wet. The worst though is that it's hot, and that I'm unemployed.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:48pm From: Cecile

to paraphrase Ben Franklin, cheese is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

But, Charlie, you have chicken!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:49pm From: dc pat

Cecile: That's BEER! I like cheese and all but don't mess w/ beer...

Mon. 6/16/08 1:50pm From: Cecile

that's why I was paraphrasing.

Cheese and beer are proof microorganisms can be our best friends.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:51pm From: Charlie

God bless Chicken. And beer. I want beer.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:51pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

DC Pat: I love so many cheeses, it's hard to name one favorite. Right now the goat cheeses are really nice. I brought home a lovely slab of Queso Clara the other day. It's a lovely goat cheese from Spain. I still have some for when my tummy feels better.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:52pm From: peter

turn this trash off

Mon. 6/16/08 1:52pm From: Bad Ronald

Or deadly enimies!

I dig saga bleu!

Mon. 6/16/08 1:52pm From: jonathan

it's time for beer.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:53pm From: Bad Ronald

words of wisdom Jonathan.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:53pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

has anyone ever heard The Cheese Band's song "I Love Cheese"? It's a little kid with his Casio. Funny and awesome. I think you can find it on Otis Fodder's website.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:53pm From: dc pat

I got this brie type the other day called pierre robert I think--it was like eating butter.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:54pm From: Cecile

I like "The Cheese Song" from the Pinky and the Brain cartoon.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:56pm From: peter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnAgwb93iyU
that's a good one

Mon. 6/16/08 1:57pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

DC Pat: Pierre-Robert has the same type of rind as Brie, but P-R is a triple-creme, meaning it's got way more fat per dry matter. Yes, it does taste like butter, but cultured butter. A great cheese, but better when the weather is cold, in my opinion.

Mon. 6/16/08 1:58pm From: dc pat

Only on the FMU comment page can you learn so much about cheese!!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:01pm From: dc pat

Thanks Wendy. Maybe you should be a regular on the comments giving out cheese advice?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:02pm From: Cecile

thanks, peter for that!
"cheese is the taste that pleases, cheese from around the world!"

Mon. 6/16/08 2:06pm From: Charlie

I used to get great cheese when I was living up in Ithaca, NY after college, but since moving back to Jersey I'm not even sure what dairies are even worhth checking out. I feel like there's one up in Sussex county by my parents that is decent, but I can't even remember.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:06pm From: Dan

This is the best song.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:08pm From: Cecile

I remember seeing a Tony Bourdain travel show about New Jersey that had a piece on a nice little dairy that looked like it was amazing artisan cheese.

Land of rich cheese, milk and cream."

Mon. 6/16/08 2:11pm From: Bad Ronald

Cheesy indeed!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:12pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Thanks for the kind words, DC Pat!
Charlie, fear not. There is a very good cheesemaker in Long Valley, NJ (near Chester) called Valley Shepherd. I used to get their cheeses at the Inwood Greenmarket.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:17pm From: Martin

I loooove Cryptacize!!!!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:22pm From: Charlie

I know where Long Valley is, I got kicked out of a party over there once when I was younger for making an invisible canoe in the kitchen. I'll have to find somebody to drive me out there to find it. Thanks!!!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:24pm From: bwalker

cryptacize - amazing - where are the photos?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:24pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Hey Charlie - maybe I'm making a mistake by asking this, but what's an invisible canoe?!?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:25pm From: Liz B.

I believe a blog post is in the works for this Cryptacize set. Are you guys falling in love all over again to these pretty songs?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:28pm From: gerardo

no love season for me by now, liz - my heart's just been broken :[

Mon. 6/16/08 2:28pm From: Bad Ronald

A little too sensitive for me but I don't fail to appreciate their beauty. I do like the quirky breaks though!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:29pm From: Charlie

Dude, I'm lovin' this Cryptacize set, as hard as I can. Goes great with sweet tea and BBQ chicken!!!

Wendy, an invisible canoe is just that, a canoe you can't see. I just mimed all the wood work. I kept telling people they couldn't walk through it and stuff. I was totally sober, which is the scary part.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:29pm From: clayton p

My head feels like a twelve-pound AMF ladies bowling ball. Your show is helping, though.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:29pm From: Martin

I love the record! But live, it's incredible!

Am I dreaming or will I never dream again?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:30pm From: Liz B.

Oh no, broken hearts and heads like bowling balls, sounds like we need some cheese triage for this crew!

Mon. 6/16/08 2:31pm From: Cecile

No, I'm not falling in love again. Then again, husband courted me with the Bonzo Dog Band...

Mon. 6/16/08 2:32pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Liz: I'm with Bad Ronald - it's a little too sensitive for me, too, but the band is tight and the odd breaks are pretty cool.

Charlie: your canoe story is hilarious. the party hosts must have been, as my Gramma says, "Ol' sticks-in-the-mud"

Mon. 6/16/08 2:34pm From: gerardo

yeah, let the cheese melt, then! - cheers for that :) (thanx very much, liz ;))

Mon. 6/16/08 2:37pm From: gerardo

("let the cheese roll!", "let there be cheese!")

Mon. 6/16/08 2:38pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

Hey, The Minutemen covered Steely Dan, and they did a good job of it.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:39pm From: Charlie

Steely Dan rules. What song did Minutemen covered?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:41pm From: dc pat

Dr. Wu?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:41pm From: Cecile

Yeah, Dr. Wu

Mon. 6/16/08 2:42pm From: dc pat

not one of my favorite covers. minutemen's version of Ain't Talkin Bout Love rules

Mon. 6/16/08 2:43pm From: randy prott

I love the visual idea of Kraft Singles layed-out 7" apart on an ample square of standard cardboard.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:48pm From: Wendy del Formaggio

DC Pat: Ooh, on which album could I find the minutemen covering van halen?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:49pm From: swami

buzz or howl?

Mon. 6/16/08 2:50pm From: Cecile

I have it on the Tour-Spiel EP.
I dont' know where it was reissued on CD>

Mon. 6/16/08 2:51pm From: north guinea hills

it's the first time i've heard this song since i had the byrds (ballad od easy rider) lp playing at supreme trade....

Mon. 6/16/08 2:52pm From: cd pat

Double Nickles, right? But there's a live version out there that's even better.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:53pm From: CW McCall

double nickels means 55mph in CB lingo

Mon. 6/16/08 2:54pm From: dc pat

I guess the live version is on Tour Spiel w/ I don't have. And yeah I meant "Nickles"

Mon. 6/16/08 2:54pm From: swami

and doing them "on the dime" means that "Smokey" is out there.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:55pm From: Cecile

Pat, you're right, that's the Tour-Spiel one.
I always go to that one because I like their version of the meat puppets' lost too.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:56pm From: Laurie

Wow, that Robyn Hitchcock song sounded soooo much like Apples in Stereo.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:56pm From: Park Van Dyke

The Hitchcock thing sounded like something on Smiley Smile by the Beach Boys

Mon. 6/16/08 2:57pm From: dc pat

Cecile: yeah, why don't I have that?? I have every freakin thing else they did.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:57pm From: jonathan

my band is planning a cover of hey 19.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:58pm From: Charlie

Oh man, this is one of my favorite Steely Dan songs, since childhood.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:58pm From: Cecile

I think you must have blinked and missed it. It actually came out on Reflex/SST.

Mon. 6/16/08 2:59pm From: gerardo

"hey 19", i love that song, since childhood, too

Mon. 6/16/08 2:59pm From: David Palmer

Steely Dan. Harumph.
