good morning benjamen!!!

Mon. 4/6/09 9:09am From: annie

i found a great website that has amazing comics. Arthur magazine, you must know it.

Mon. 4/6/09 9:12am From: Bob

Ahhh! Nothing better than starting a dreary morning with a little wireless coling newman...

Mon. 4/6/09 9:12am From: bw

hey Annie - I do.. my fren Tom (who did a great comics press called highwater books) helped them start it

hi everyone!! its cold and rainy out.. my fingers are still shaking..

Mon. 4/6/09 9:14am From: still b/p

The team name at that college must be the Cougars.

My fingers will be wet and cold when I ride home later today in the coming rain wallop.

Mon. 4/6/09 9:17am From: karao

brrr. good thing i work from home. morning, bw!

Mon. 4/6/09 9:17am From: annie

another joy-filled comic book!!

Mon. 4/6/09 9:18am From: still b/p

And of course, The Jeering Snickers = GNFAB

Mon. 4/6/09 9:21am From: bw

K - you!! makin me wish I was a home worker

Mon. 4/6/09 9:23am From: Parq

Hokay, I'll bite - what's GNFAB?

Mon. 4/6/09 9:24am From: V K

BW - ur the first good thing I encounter each week - u r appreciated

Mon. 4/6/09 9:30am From: bw

yes I dunno what GNFAB stands for ewither

Mon. 4/6/09 9:35am From: JCityJensen

Hey There Mr. Ben Walker - great Monday morning rainy day set!
quick?-what is/was the background music you had playing before?

Mon. 4/6/09 9:36am From: bw

a band called "a small good thing"

Mon. 4/6/09 9:38am From: F in VT

http://www.gnfab.com/

Good name for a band

Mon. 4/6/09 9:39am From: Parq

Superb!

Mon. 4/6/09 9:40am From: still b/p

Well, that's what I meant by GNFAB, but I had no idea there was a website.
I just figured it comes up so easy and often that we oughta have an abbreviated reference by now.

Mon. 4/6/09 9:40am From: Parq

The accu-playlist yields many GNFABs. My fave is a phrase Bryce once came up with - "Hamburger Mannequin".

Mon. 4/6/09 9:50am From: JD

Ironically, "G. N. Fab" is a good name for a solo act

Mon. 4/6/09 9:54am From: bryan

finally got a chance to listen to your show, mr. walker. very nice stuff.

Mon. 4/6/09 9:56am From: Mooose

8 tracks were on a continuous loop, and cassettes could mostly be put on auto-flip
Also, I used to stack records on my kid player and they'd drop one by one

It's my first time hearing your show- it's out of sight!

Mon. 4/6/09 9:58am From: bw

can't seem to log in to acuplaylist

Mon. 4/6/09 10:04am From: bw

ok all caught up!
just like the song said.. I hope there is a wireless connection in heavon

Mon. 4/6/09 10:07am From: Randy Jackson

You're pitchy, dawg.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:09am From: Cecile

uh, oh, this isn't going to end well for Jessica and Mandrake the Magician, is it?

Mon. 4/6/09 10:10am From: Cecile

Annie, Arthur mgazine is grt!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:12am From: annie

cecile it is the best discovery i've made in a long time...

Mon. 4/6/09 10:13am From: Cecile

I used to pick up the paper copies at a local comic book store, back when hub still had titles he was following.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:14am From: Pearly Sweets

Pizzicato Five is a great way to start the week!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:15am From: annie

i think i heard they are not printing anymore just web site; the monday night show here promotes them.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:15am From: bw

hah PS - I didnt mean to speed this up so fast

Mon. 4/6/09 10:17am From: Pearly Sweets

No worries. It's the caffeine I skimped out on this morning.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:25am From: Cecile

yeah, that's what happened with the local paper here, The Rake. But I'm glad Arthur still has a Web presence.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:26am From: annie

oooooh. the rake.. a new one to add...

Mon. 4/6/09 10:32am From: stranger

it took a long time updating the realaudio but it's worse than before -_-

Mon. 4/6/09 10:36am From: bw

what real audio?

Mon. 4/6/09 10:37am From: Cecile

This is great, but I want people to start covering New Order's "Everything's Gone Green" now.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:43am From: Cecile

hey, what's the weather like where everyone's at?
Me: sunny but chilly.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:46am From: Cecile

aw, it does have a happy ending!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:46am From: annie

cecile, it is damp, light rain and about 47 out. the house is damp and i have a fire going..my seedlinds are struggling through this damp cold bit like real troopers!!!!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:47am From: esch oder anarchie!

Am I the only one who thinks Jessica looks just like Caprica 6?

Mon. 4/6/09 10:47am From: Cecile

Kind of like that Jane Seymour movie on Mackinac Island, Somewhere in TIme.

How could they not, Annie? You have that wonderful earth mama energy aimed at 'em!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:48am From: Arthur Rimbaud

Let's derange our senses!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:48am From: annie

they and i have constant conversations... and i pat them, too.... crazy hippie lady living on a hill.. wooohoo!

Mon. 4/6/09 10:49am From: annie

oh, and i saw my puppy yesterday. she has that cute little wagging puppy butt.. she is 4 weeks, and she is the timid one in the bunch.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:50am From: Cecile

oh, oh, oh.
Not too timid, I hope, though.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:50am From: Carmichael

It will be 75 - 80 deg. today, just like yesterday. Summer is here. Spent yesterday, running, drinking beer, mowing lawns and BBQing.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:51am From: Pearly Sweets

Today it is overcast with storms here and there. In the upper 70's high a low that will bring us down to the 30s tonight before ending the week in, most likely, the 80s. Ugh. Weather needs to just make up its mind.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:52am From: Cecile

man....70s.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:52am From: annie

charmichael. sounds wonderful!!! cecile, it took her a while to come to me.. about three minutes or so, thay are all howling and crying and running and jumping and being damn cute.. i thinks she'll be ok..

Mon. 4/6/09 10:53am From: Pearly Sweets

A very muggy and humid 70s. That's the thing about Florida. Is "70s" sounds nice, but half the time Florida weather finds a way to still make it miserable.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:53am From: Cecile

I think she will, too.

Mon. 4/6/09 10:54am From: Cecile

This sounds like "A Day In The Peter Singer Household"

Mon. 4/6/09 10:54am From: F in VT

Mid 40s -rode to work in a very light rain. Grass hasn't started growing yet. This past weekend was the last one for the ski slopes - I didn't get there, but they got 6" of powder for the last day. Just rained down in the valley

Mon. 4/6/09 10:54am From: Cecile

But, son, it is ok if you get down with the spider

Mon. 4/6/09 10:55am From: dc pat

ok, what the f-- is this??

Mon. 4/6/09 10:55am From: Freddy

What comic strip is this?

Mon. 4/6/09 10:58am From: Cecile

Nancy: The Ketamine Years

Mon. 4/6/09 11:01am From: still b/p

A big rough scrum of green oobleck on the radar slides this way to laugh at my bike-ride raingear. Would be a good day to watch burly water at the shore rocks. Heard spring peepers last night for the first time!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:01am From: Parq

Great. GNFAB wasn't enough; now I gotta look up Caprica 6 *and* Ketamine.

It's dark in NYC today, and humid, but currently no rain to speak of. Was pouring at about 9:40, but I'm pleased to note that it stopped before I ventured out. Annie, we want puppy pictures on FB *now*!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:01am From: Cecile

@F:
Sounds like Upper Michigan. Drive 5 miles and the weather's completely different.

I love that you said oobleck, b/p

Mon. 4/6/09 11:01am From: dc pat

man am I diggin the turn this playlist has taken since (and including) story of north america

Mon. 4/6/09 11:03am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:04am From: Jøe Steele

Awesome by the way.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:05am From: annie

dammit parq, i was thinkin that as i was typing... i promise i will,,, really really. i just have to get someone with a camera to take the pics!! i promise!!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:06am From: Jøe Steele

Yeh! The grass's POV

Mon. 4/6/09 11:12am From: Cecile

oooh, green green grass of home!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:13am From: Pearly Sweets

Man, Mike Nesmith really wanted to write this song.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:15am From: Cecile

THANK YOU.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:16am From: bw

yer qwelcome

joe tex ok?

Mon. 4/6/09 11:17am From: Cecile

Perfect! I love soul singers singing country.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:18am From: Parq

Joe Tex did "Green Green Grass", eh? Gee, who didn't? I can remember a bar band in Vermont when I was a kid, at a ski resort, tearing this song up. Nice tie-in to the feature comic.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:18am From: annie

finally got my computer back from "the shop" newly formatted. i had no idea how large my rss feed list was til had to remember all of them and retag them.. wow.... lots of work. and i'm using firefox now.... parq, i promise i will get a picture by this weekend.. she is a doll. black strip down her back and white tail-tip. two black dots on her left jowl.. real sweet..

Mon. 4/6/09 11:22am From: Carmichael

I thought I recognized that voice. Where are the rest of the lads, Dee??

Mon. 4/6/09 11:22am From: Cecile

Parq, I remember someone doing a parody on Hee-Haw a zillion years ago, singing the line "on the porch is my papa, with a shotgun..."

Mon. 4/6/09 11:23am From: annie

sunshine breaking through clouds!!! totally unexpected! woohoo!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:26am From: dc pat

man, I'm preferring the rain today. It looks doomy out.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:30am From: north guinea hills

i wasn't paying attention to the playlist, but i believe it was the shudders that reminded me of a cleaner black tambourine.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:31am From: Pearly Sweets

I love a good "la la la" in a song. "We All Love Peanut Butter" by the One Way Streets has the same vibe as the beginning of this song. It is on one of those Back From the Grave comps. and is about everyone dying.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:32am From: Parq

Is anyone else finding that they have to refresh the playlist manually?

Mon. 4/6/09 11:33am From: annie

parq, mine refreshes by itself.. sorry to say..

Mon. 4/6/09 11:34am From: Pearly Sweets

Nope. Mine seems to be updating fine. A little lag in the chat. But the playlist is doing fine.

Mon. 4/6/09 11:41am From: Parq

Hokay. Is anyone else at work, and finding that they have to refresh their minds manually?

Mon. 4/6/09 11:45am From: Carmichael

Troggs!!!!!!

Mon. 4/6/09 11:46am From: north guinea hills

yeah, the play list is lagging. not that it matters, but it could indicate other problems... (incoherent words due to monday morning hangover)

Mon. 4/6/09 11:46am From: bw

Im sure the lag is my fault
sorry dear listener land.. Im slow today... ugh what a grey dreary day

Mon. 4/6/09 11:55am From: Josh
