Wed. 11/4/09 9:09am From: Ken

I have Bob Dylan's brand new Christmas CD pulled. Just sayin'. Everybody behaves, nobody gets hurt.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:10am From: Dan B

Uh... uh... hey, Ken... have I told you how nice your hair looks today?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:11am From: Parq

Neat the way that girl feet GIF is in tempo with the Ghana track.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:11am From: Ne-guh-tor

Does he cover "the Little Drummer Boy" on that Xmas disk?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:12am From: Mark

Dylan's version of "The Little Drummer Boy" is AWESOME!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:13am From: Sonar in DC

I read a review of Dylan's Xmas that said the whole thing sounds
like a compilation of sinister threats. I'm afraid to listen.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:14am From: Dan B

Hey! It's Terre T's Bed Music! :-D

Wed. 11/4/09 9:14am From: Cecile

that sounds awesome Sonar

Wed. 11/4/09 9:18am From: Bad Ronald

Hey Ken do you have Rammstein's box set?

http://tinyurl.com/rambox

Wed. 11/4/09 9:20am From: Cecile

Wed. 11/4/09 9:20am From: Bad Ronald

Tee hee...

Wed. 11/4/09 9:21am From: Mark

Bagpipes!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:21am From: BSI

What did I win?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:21am From: Ken

It was mailed to me Bad Ronald but somebody stole all the dildoes out of it before I got to it. Oh well.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:25am From: Cecile

WOW.
I remember that band.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:25am From: Bad Ronald

Bastards!!!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:25am From: Janet H

Wed. 11/4/09 9:38am From: anne

Wed. 11/4/09 9:38am From: paul

just play "put the bone in" again

Wed. 11/4/09 9:38am From: Cecile

Jud Strunk even had a show on CBS-TV for a short time in the 70s.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:39am From: -max-

Is the "The Arbitrary Guide to Popular Culture" out of order? Sent info on a gig but didn't see any new postings. This Saturday at 2 in the afternoon, R. Stevie Moore and Lane Steinberg are playing at Kenny's Castaways in the village.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:39am From: annie

he said crap...

Wed. 11/4/09 9:40am From: paul

i'm a two cheesburger eater!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:40am From: AnAnontmousParty

Is that 'Dead Skunk' Strunk?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:41am From: BSI

I AM THE PROSTHESIS, GODDAMMIT!!!!!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:41am From: PMD

This is my country! Tell him Jud!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:42am From: Lizardner Dave

I'm Judson Fountain!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:42am From: doug from DC

Oh, now I get it: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/28/schwarzeneggers-assembly-secret/

Wed. 11/4/09 9:43am From: Cecile

no, dead skunk was Loudon Wainwright.
This is "daisy a day" Jud Strunk.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:46am From: Cecile

I used to kind of like Devendra, but now he just squicks me out.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:48am From: BSI

"angel licker"? ... aint there laws against that kind of thing?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:49am From: doug from DC

That's the squicky part.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:50am From: dc pat

man this guy (Dionyso) is all over the place right now.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:52am From: Steve

Arrington de Dionyso "uses performance as a vehicle for driving through the nameless territories held between surrealist automatism, shamanic seance, and the folk imagery of rock and roll." apparently.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:55am From: dc pat

well he is a pretty mystical experience.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:55am From: -max-

Picture of Arrington de Dionyso performing his throat singing technique through a saxophone here: http://www.whathoproductions.com/Galleries/20090921/images/20090921_55.jpg

Wed. 11/4/09 9:55am From: An Anonymous Party

Ah Loudon, that's right, I need to edit the name on that mp3 I got from ... somewhere.

Wed. 11/4/09 9:56am From: Cecile

ken, do you have some Orishas?

Wed. 11/4/09 9:57am From: Butthead

Cornholio!

Wed. 11/4/09 9:58am From: paul

cornholio was beavis, duh everyone knows that

Wed. 11/4/09 10:02am From: CC

hey, it looks like Arrington de Dionyso is going to be performing on Regis and Kelly today. he is everywhere these days.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:03am From: Cecile

I heard he was going to be a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars, too.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:03am From: Lou

ken, is there a 45 of that jaqee song?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:09am From: Mark

I think CC should be getting ready if he's needed for game 7 and not pulling our legs over here

Wed. 11/4/09 10:11am From: Mark

perhaps you could have a mime on SSD

Wed. 11/4/09 10:12am From: jk

he changed his name several times. both are correct depending on which year you're living in.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:12am From: dc pat

it's definitely Eye Yamatsuka

Wed. 11/4/09 10:13am From: dc pat

actually, technically it's Yamatsuka Eye

Wed. 11/4/09 10:13am From: Vicki

Yamatsuka, Yamataka, etc - they are all correct, since he, Mr Eye changes his name all the time.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:14am From: dc pat

jk: that's true, none of the Boredoms really stuck to one name.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:14am From: Mark

Eye and his names:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamantaka_Eye

Wed. 11/4/09 10:15am From: BSI

I shall now change my name to Swami Yo Mommy.
It's definitely time.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:16am From: jtm

Blimey. The music goes to that astronaut gif just perfectly.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:17am From: CC

hey i'm serious. apparently Regis was a big Old Time Relijun fan back when he was in college - "back in the day" was the phrase he used.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:17am From: dc patatsuka

jeeze, Eye is my age--didn't know that. My buddy was Boredoms tour manager and he seemed like he was half my age.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:18am From: PMD

I like the mime idea for 7sd. In the same show you could also have a blind person and have Andy try and explain what the mime is doing!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:19am From: Alice Bowie

Earache My Eye!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:20am From: Mark

Hey CC, in game 7 maybe you should just walk Chase Utley, Ryan Howard ain't done shit in the World Series

Wed. 11/4/09 10:21am From: JCityJensen

http://www.universaloscillation.com/youcube/

Wed. 11/4/09 10:24am From: CC

Wed. 11/4/09 10:25am From: Mark

Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia

Wed. 11/4/09 10:26am From: Vicki

are you mixing David Shea in there?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:27am From: Ken

Enough Hockey talk or I'm throwing on the Dylan Xmas CD!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:27am From: bw

Mornin Ken

Wed. 11/4/09 10:27am From: Ne-guh-tor

Teletubies!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:28am From: CC

Wed. 11/4/09 10:29am From: annie

ok, do i go out and fix the greenhouse or stay in and continue the madness that is ken's show?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:30am From: jtm

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:31am From: Vicki

Wed. 11/4/09 10:31am From: you played that on purpose

Wed. 11/4/09 10:31am From: Sonar

Aiyeeeeee!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:31am From: Cecile

this is awesome.
Awesome.
as great as any Leonard Nimoy record.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: trs

Released in 2009? November or maybe July or August?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Ne-guh-tor

Bob D. is CASHIN' IN!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: BSI

I figured we were doomed as soon as I heard that decisive SNAP of the disc leaving the jewel case. ... doomed....

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Mark

Little Drummer Boy next please!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Maria D

i'm crying. crying.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Duke

Oh No! What did we do? We're sorry Ken.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Chris - Bristol

Yes! Have you got any of James Brown's Funky Christmas?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: lisner bryan

are you all craZy? that was amazing! holy christ indeed.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: Cecile

more, more!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:32am From: mark in kingston

Is he pretending the snow man is jackson brown?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: annie

i think it's his johhny cash phase, which only means it can get worse... he;ll be singing the standards next

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: Bad Ronald

That's what happens when you do too many Mandies!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: Cecile

@bryan, ITA!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: Mark

I thought he did retire after Blood on the Tracks, or at least stopped trying.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: bb

ohhhh good lord of hell

is going to make it through this song even?!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: Sonar

Is it Dylan doing a Tom Waits impersonation?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:34am From: em

is this a tom waits album??

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: bw

thanks for kicking off the holiday season!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: BSI

Send the Dylan Xmas record to Eye for a remix. Stat!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: Lizardner Dave

I think Dylan's giving the profits from this to charity.

Also, I actually like the last three or four records he's done. He finally completed the transformation from Jewish midwestern protest singer to old black bluesman. I like it.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: jojo

Please tell me you are doing this, or is this uncut?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: lisner bryan

I think it would be better if he forgot some words and just started humming. I think this shit is awesome. I can't wait to get it.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: Mark

this is so awful it's great

Wed. 11/4/09 10:35am From: Cecile

@bw, take out the work "off"

Wed. 11/4/09 10:36am From: -max-

You will pay, Ken. Just sayin'...

Wed. 11/4/09 10:36am From: ?

I can take Dylan's croaky voice but its the arrangements and Lawrence Welkian strings & singers is what puzzles me.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:36am From: Peter

This has to be the worst record ever. How great is that?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:36am From: Parq

Wow, this is even worse than BB King's Xmas disc.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: CC

oh man, the quality control folks at dylan industries was sleepin on this one.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: Randy Savage

Dylan sings Christmas tunes .... Oh Yeah!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: Listener Dave from NH

"No, that's not bad enough."
Really? Because that's some bewildering schlitz.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: Vicki

he should have done it with Jean Jacques Perrey

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: lightning494

Isn't most of Christmas just as crappy as this record? Maybe he's just being a good Jew and destroying Christmas.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:37am From: Cecile

that was awesome, ken.
awesome.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:38am From: Vicki

I think he's done it for the exact reaction that everyone is giving

Wed. 11/4/09 10:38am From: suit

arent they giving this cylan christmas thing away at some bank? but you are right.. he deserves our undying respect

Wed. 11/4/09 10:38am From: Vicki

btw he is a Jew, yes - but he converted to Christianity a long time ago

Wed. 11/4/09 10:38am From: Lizardner Dave

And while this Christmas record isn't any damn good, I'll hazard a guess that if Devandra Banhart put out the same record the hipsters would be falling all over themselves to praise it and it would get a 10 on Pitchfork.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:39am From: -max-

Ah, Wire! The perfect musical palate cleanser!

Wed. 11/4/09 10:40am From: Joan

ken, those songs were just horrible. Thank you for putting me in the x-mas spirit

Wed. 11/4/09 10:40am From: trs

Given how bad that was, maybe it'll make the rest of the seasonal garbage less unbearable.

I'd like to think that were true, but I know it's not.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:41am From: CC

wire's easter album, good choice ken,

Wed. 11/4/09 10:42am From: Mark

In reviewing Dylan's Xmas album Ken Tucker thought it had to be a joke, he couldn't believe Dylan would intentionally make such a bad album

Wed. 11/4/09 10:46am From: John

I own a record store in upstate New York, and have lost sales by badmouthing and playing the Dylan Xmas record. Not a good business practice.
Gotta work on that.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:47am From: and Bob sings...

- Harsh, The Hard Old Angel Stings
- O Little Ton of Deathlyphlegm
- I'll Be Hoarse for Christmas

Wed. 11/4/09 10:48am From: Cecile

ken, do you have any Trio?

Wed. 11/4/09 10:52am From: Foreign listener K

Eisbär to the rescue - and for Dylan's next albums, how about Neue Deutsche Welle covers.

Like this-
'Häßlich, ich bin so häßlich
So gräßlich häßlich:
Ich bin der Haß!
Hassen, ganz häßlich hassen
Ich kann's nicht lassen:
Ich bin der Haß!'

His voice would be perfect, not to mention describing his seeming attitude to his current work.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:56am From: dc pat

K brings up a good point. Dylan's early work was perfectly matched to his voice. It just seems that now he's not clear on what he should be singing. and I'm being REALLY nice.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:56am From: esch oder anarchie!

I smell pere ubu.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:56am From: Cecile

I miss the Deutsche Welle English Language video shows we'd get when we have public access cable. There was this host named Ingo and he'd introduce these videos that were 1) drugged up happy people dancing to techno in the streets for the Love Parade; 2) hip-hop ballads in German usually sung in front of a wall oozing blood or damp or both; or 3) N'Sync.

Wed. 11/4/09 10:57am From: esch oder anarchie!

btw, How come wfmu never plays any knarf rellom? HOW COME???

Wed. 11/4/09 10:58am From: Jim

Dylan's earlier stuff built up such an enormous amount of goodwill with me that I will buy whatever he sells, whether I listen to it or not.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:01am From: Sonar

I don't care what anyone says - I love the Beatles!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:01am From: Dan B

Oh, I've never been so glad to be on break. I missed the Dylan stuff. Whew!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:01am From: dc pat

Yellow Sub is the only Beatles album I don't own so when I hear a tune off of it, it sounds fresh. This is amazzing.... all the other albums are beat into the ground for me.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:02am From: jk

andy could tell you, ask him tonight

Wed. 11/4/09 11:02am From: dc John

I love the Beatles too.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:04am From: Gigantor

Pleeeaze, more horrible Dylan Christmas!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:04am From: Bad Ronald

"Bulldog" is one of my faves!!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:04am From: annie

tell kenny g to stay home!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:04am From: Cecile

Do I need to buy you again?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:06am From: paul

whatever happened to the 1 minute marathon?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:06am From: annie

ok, uncontrollable laughter.... that is only my initial reaction...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

One thing you could always say about Dylan, he never really gave a flying fark what people think about him or his music.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: Mark

The latin one is the awfulest

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: PMD

Adeste fideles - sounds like a death march

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: Mark

Ken Tucker's other theory was parody

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: paul

o.....m......g.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: Sonar in DC

What I want to know if who did the arrangements to the Dylan CD?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: jojo

latin! of course, it thought you were doing that...this is like the victoria secret adds/jokes, but a different angle

Wed. 11/4/09 11:07am From: Dan B

I hate myself and I want to die.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: stuart

"Must be Santa" is the best song on the album

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: lewis

joke - oh my god please let it be a joke!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Think about, this is funny, intentional or not. I am definitely buying this.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: Mark

This is great when done by a real polka artist

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: lisner bryan

It's certainly the most Jewish song on the album.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: dc pat

polk song sounds pretty good so far....oh, fuck....this is a Brave Combo tune...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:08am From: stuart

you should have played more of "Must be Santa" - the break is classic.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: Azam

Even if it is a joke, it's still rubbish. There's only so often you can laugh at badly sung song.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: Cecile

my boss is giving me a burn of the Dylan disc.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: cribley

It's not a Bob Dylan xmas album. It's the new Adam Sandler comedy album.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: PMD

I would definitely buy this album for someone I hate.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: dc pat

my vote: he's out of his fekkin mind.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: Miriam

I agree with Stuart! I love it! I weigh in for: Joke. I kinda like it.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:09am From: PMD

Oh, Bob Dylan hula-ing. What a mental picture.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: lisner bryan

Christmas Island! This man has serious taste in xmas music. It's as good as bloated Elvis!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Mark

a great version of "Must Be Santa":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKM4n8d5sSg

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: stuart

it can't be a joke if all the proceeds are going to charity...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Bad Ronald

Did he do a duet w/Triumph the insult comic dog on the disc? If not he shoulda...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: ROOFLESS

This Christmas record, along with all bad Dylan, reminds me of
what's happened to Lil Wayne...no one stepping in to provide
some objective quality control.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Dan B

I am not joking. I am being 100% completely serious. I am crying. Not a happy crying. A sad, sad crying.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Cecile

This Christmas in Hawaii song sounds like something the methheads that Dog the Bounty Hunter sing in this holiday season.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Vicki

Bob Dylan is DEMENTED.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:10am From: Bad Ronald

Which charity does Bob hate so much?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:11am From: dc pat

wait, the Hawaiian one is more like it.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:11am From: joan

an absurdest joke maybe?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:11am From: Cecile

Dog the Bounty hunter busts in Honolulu should be in there.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:11am From: CC

there are bits that could be redeeming but then bits absolutely missing it

Wed. 11/4/09 11:11am From: stuart

most xmas albus have at least one Chanukah song - where is Dylan's Chanukah song?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:12am From: underglass

dylan and christmas don't go together. glass and peanut butter.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:12am From: Gregory

You are exactly right, Ken. It isn't a joke, but it is supposed to be fun. Everyone should be able to sing Christmas songs, no matter how destroyed one's voice is. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to buy the CD.... but I actually enjoy it.

don't defend this bob dylan attempt at being whatever - it sucks - he sucks - he became the man - if 1960s bob dyaln heard this he'd fucking get out of this racket

Wed. 11/4/09 11:13am From: Cecile

I'm not defending it as anything.
It's lousy and it makes me laugh.
I like to laugh.

I just missed it but if you play Hey Bulldog but only one channel, I forget if left or right is better, you can hear John howling maniacally front and center.

As for Dylan, I don't think he's considering it a joke. I've read he did it cuz they are just songs that everybody sings so it's folk music...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:14am From: John

David Fricke gave this three stars in Rolling Stone.
That's almost as funny.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:15am From: Father Christmas

i will be delivering dylans christmas album instead of coal to all the naughty kids this year so watch what you say.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:17am From: Cecile

@john, the writers don't ever assign the stars in Rolling Stone! That's been a huge source of contention with freelancers - they write a 2 star review and suddenly it's three and a half. Or a five star record gets bumped down to three because it's different.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:17am From: CC

david fricke couldn't review his way out of a paper bag

Wed. 11/4/09 11:17am From: Hey Bulldog

Whatta you say?
I say "woof"
You know any more?
Howl
That's it man you got it!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:18am From: Cecile

that three-star review is definitely Papa Jann trying to keep his access to Bob open.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:20am From: John

The actual Fricke review is pretty funny, especially
in his description of "Christmas Song." He seems to be taking the record seriously.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:24am From: Bad Ronald

Hey, it just occurred to me, is that a young Dick Cheney in the crib guard photo?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:24am From: Dominick

That's Talulah Bankhead isn't it?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:24am From: thelma

Ken, Note the lyrics change in "Winter Wonderland" from "Parson Brown", to "an "he's a clown." Does this mean Dylan's mood is humorous and anti-clerical?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:27am From: joan

The photo is marlene dietrich isn't it? Love the thai soul - maybe I'll get some Thai food for lunch....

Wed. 11/4/09 11:29am From: Ken

No, I dont think it's Dietrich.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:29am From: Mark

I thought it was Joan Crawford

Wed. 11/4/09 11:30am From: Denise in Washington, DC

Could it be a drag queen? Or Tallulah Bankhead? (Not that there's much difference.)

Wed. 11/4/09 11:30am From: joan

for sure it's dietrich. I'll bet you a Thai lunch

Wed. 11/4/09 11:31am From: Parq

Wow, does Megan know about this cover of "Crazy"? She's doing a "Crazy" theme on UTP tomw AM.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:31am From: trisha

It IS Marlene Dietrich God Bless Her

Wed. 11/4/09 11:31am From: annie

which picture is that?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:32am From: Mark

Joan Crawford was a drag queen wasn't she?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:32am From: dc pat

that's TOTALLY Dietrich.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:33am From: dc pat

if I'm wrong, I'll eat my Bob Dylan Xmas record.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:34am From: Sonar in DC

Definitely Dietrich

Wed. 11/4/09 11:34am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

It is Phyllis Diller.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:34am From: Bryant

It's Marlene Dietrich, shot in Monte Carlo in 1956 by Willy Rizzo. Proof (scroll right):

Wed. 11/4/09 11:35am From: Ken

Way to go Bryant! Even if I prefer it to be Phyllis Diller.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:36am From: Unclear on the Concept

Patsy Cline was a contralto?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:37am From: tOm

Patsy's beauty shines thru even slowed down

Wed. 11/4/09 11:37am From: Bad Ronald

Dammit, I wanted to see if that Dylan disc tasted any better than it sounded!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:38am From: -max-

Parq: Been meaning to ask you...on my way home from Saturday's record fair I found that I had your FMU ID sticker attached to my jacket. Was that placed there or accidental?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:40am From: Parq

-max-, was that you? Miss Kryss told me about it the next day, without identifying the recipient. I promise it was accidental. What a strange coincidence!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:40am From: dc pat

Bad Ron: yeah, phew! thanks Bryant...

Wed. 11/4/09 11:44am From: An Anonymous Party

Y'all got any Johnny Debitcard?

Wed. 11/4/09 11:45am From: Ike

Lizardner Dave @10:38 -- HA! It's SO true!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:47am From: Denise in Washington, DC

The reverb is definitely working. It's bouncing back and forth between the two speakers on my desktop.

Wed. 11/4/09 11:51am From: Lizardner Dave

Thanks Ike.

And now, news that Radio Is Not Dead!

Wed. 11/4/09 11:56am From: Cecile
