yer nervous about losing your mind, thas' all

Mon. 9/22/08 9:17am From: Sean

Greetings from Boston! How was the Robert Forster show? Did he play the song "Spirit"?

Mon. 9/22/08 9:19am From: bw

losing my mind indeed! RF show was great - didn't play it in the set I saw

Mon. 9/22/08 9:19am From: Bad Ronald

I smell trouble brewing...

Mon. 9/22/08 9:20am From: Minister Tim

Each character you meet in your dreams is actually yourself. So... why would you crack yourself over the head with a bike lock? You were simply entering into a dialogue with yourself to resolve some inner conflict you are having. Perhaps about your riding? Sweet Dreams! MT

Mon. 9/22/08 9:23am From: bw

MT - fascinating.. never heard that one.. that you meet yourself in dreams.. I def won't hit anyone with bike locks anymore!

what was I missing I wonder...

Mon. 9/22/08 9:26am From: owen

not sure about that theory. i dreamt i was in a fist fight with radovan karadzic last night.

Mon. 9/22/08 9:27am From: bw

whoa.. Owen did you kick his ass?

Mon. 9/22/08 9:29am From: owen

i think so. definitely connected with a few punches. i didnt lose, thats for sure.

Mon. 9/22/08 9:32am From: Minister Tim

Now there is no reason for Ben to hit the bikerider inside himself over the head but it might be right to kick the ass of the radovan karadzic inside yourself! I once had a dream I was DISGUISED as Carl Rove at a republican convention! I was pulling it off until they asked me to say something... I paniced and just started calling everything bullsht...

Mon. 9/22/08 9:34am From: Sasha

Owen, you can kick Richard Holbrooke ass too.

Mon. 9/22/08 9:35am From: sugarwolf

In 2000, I had sexual dreams about George W Bush. YUCK.

Mon. 9/22/08 9:35am From: bw

dream fight!!

I think one of the craziest dreams I ever had was when I fought my high school - the actual building! ala Peanuts
I didn't win either! Sugarwolf - I don't know what to say!!!

Mon. 9/22/08 9:36am From: Hatch

Koen is opening for Om in Greenpoint tomorrow night, FYI.

Mon. 9/22/08 9:37am From: Bad Ronald

Doll Man!!!

Mon. 9/22/08 9:39am From: Bad Ronald

Any theories on recurring dreams?

Mon. 9/22/08 9:44am From: jbenj

Greetings from Lyndhurst, NJ.. nice set here!!.. Suarasama, the Ex..

Mon. 9/22/08 9:48am From: bw

go bad ronald! you win!

don't got any theories on rec dreams.. but Ken Freedman has a new beard!!

Mon. 9/22/08 9:50am From: Bad Ronald

New beard as in facial hair or ruse?

Mon. 9/22/08 9:54am From: ?

hatch - you goin to that show

Mon. 9/22/08 9:54am From: evan

this is great, bw

Mon. 9/22/08 9:58am From: cb

I concur with evan. I had a dream last night that I was swimming in a large pool with polar bears. Any ideas?

Mon. 9/22/08 10:08am From: cb

bw, you need to play stuff you can pronounce! - hah! Thanks for your dream analysis too. I suspected I was one of the good people but you never really know . . .

Mon. 9/22/08 10:21am From: sugarwolf

I have had WFMU related anxiety dreams! Mostly about forgetting to buy anything at the record fair. Or the marathon ends and I didn't pledge anything.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:22am From: Parq

Sugarwolf brings to mind the oft-related DJ anxiety dream. I've been out of college radio for three decades, and I still have that one once in a while.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:25am From: sugarwolf

Parq, oddly I have never had that DJ anxiety dream. Mine DJ related dreams have been that they are dead. Yikes.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:27am From: Bad Ronald

Oh no I miss Roberta!

Mon. 9/22/08 10:27am From: GP

Being the Doll Man has its disadvantages....indeed

Morning all

Mon. 9/22/08 10:28am From: Bad Ronald

Send in the clowns!

Mon. 9/22/08 10:31am From: Ken

I had a dream last night that one of our DJs murdered the parents of another one of our DJs. I uncovered the heinous plot, and then the murderer targeted me. Fortunately, I was able to fly faster than the murderess.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:32am From: Ken Again

Another Monday morning, another global economic collapse. When is one of these going to stick already?

Mon. 9/22/08 10:36am From: dc pat

Who was doing all the killin?

Mon. 9/22/08 10:37am From: Ken

I'vealready said too much.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:38am From: sugarwolf

"mine dreams" ? Oy oy oy.....

Mon. 9/22/08 10:40am From: Parq

Ben, should the comic panels have a heavy tint? Looking at the world through rose colored glasses isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:42am From: ?

Earl Palmer, RIP

Mon. 9/22/08 10:44am From: dc pat

Well it has to be Liz B because she's the only woman DJ that can fly.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:44am From: Bad Ronald

Well the first clue "murderess" indicates a female perp.
Diane K seems too obvious so my vote is on Liz B.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:47am From: bw

she isn't here today to defend herself from such accusations.. clearly a sign of guilt!!!

Mon. 9/22/08 10:49am From: Ike

I'd say Bethany or Donna.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:50am From: seb

well, something was definitely brewing yesterday at ATP...

Mon. 9/22/08 10:51am From: Bad Ronald

...Then again Irene T almost ripped my head off for a facetious Yoko Ono comment...

Mon. 9/22/08 10:52am From: Ken

I can't say any more. Except for the fact that the murders were satanic by nature and involved whole fetishistic blair-witch-like talismans made of whole grains. In fact it was the whole grains that gave her away.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:53am From: bw

a real CLUE!!!

Mon. 9/22/08 10:53am From: Bad Ronald

Trouble!?!

Mon. 9/22/08 10:54am From: SJ

I think whole grains implicate Trouble as well.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:54am From: Ken

I mentioned to the DJ whose parents were offed, "I know who killed your parents" (although I didn't). The next thing I knew, the murderess gave Bob Brainen a cloth bag of leftover oatmeal. Then I knew...

Mon. 9/22/08 10:56am From: Parq

Hmm. I was thinking Tamar and Rich. Something internecine. But Ken's additional clue casts a whole different light on the inquiry. Let's form a commission.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:56am From: Ken

The oatmeal matched, you see. Lucky for us, we had Quaker Oats Forensic specialists on-site.

Mon. 9/22/08 10:57am From: bw

oh man...

Mon. 9/22/08 10:58am From: Carmichael

Daniel Johnston!!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:04am From: bzul

Some dreamers are left-grained and some are right-grained.

Mon. 9/22/08 11:09am From: dc pat

I think I'm going w/ Irene now.

Mon. 9/22/08 11:16am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:19am From: bw

anyone care to guess who the loop here is by?

not as sexy as who the murderess is.. but

Mon. 9/22/08 11:21am From: Bad Ronald

now it's turning into "Watching the Detectives"...

Mon. 9/22/08 11:25am From: dc pat

hmmm, what does Vicki eat for breakfast?? I forgot about her. She doesn't strike me as the whole-grain type but, she might be good at killin folks and she can fly.

Mon. 9/22/08 11:25am From: bw

its the beginning trill from mulatu astatke's tezeta version

Mon. 9/22/08 11:27am From: bw

whoops not mulatu but getachew kassa

Mon. 9/22/08 11:29am From: dc pat

crap, I was going to say one of those Ethiopian cats

Mon. 9/22/08 11:42am From: Mao Jones

Dow down 217. Trust us!!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:44am From: Sam

high places!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:45am From: josh

what are we listening to right now? I kind of like that girl's voice

Mon. 9/22/08 11:46am From: bw

that was the high places 45 josh

Mon. 9/22/08 11:48am From: josh

thanks! say.. long shot but If you can find Michael Hurley's 'I Paint a Design' that'd be great!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:48am From: GP

This could be her:

ken freedman has a new beard? Is this to cover the deformity he was talking about a few weeks ago?

Mon. 9/22/08 11:53am From: Chedomir

I saw him over the summer before he grew his beard and it wasn't pretty. Poor guy.

Mon. 9/22/08 11:55am From: Bad Ronald

I would call it a "FreeFormity"!

Mon. 9/22/08 11:54pm From: jungin

I do like the picture up there.
