Listener comments!

  6:04am
Dave B:

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Mom, Dotty's touching me

Are we there yet?
  6:05am
Dave B:

Morning Meghan!
  6:05am
Meghan:

*giggles* Nice one Dave.... well played!
  6:09am
annie:

morning all, these songs about maine make me very homesick, nice choices
  6:10am
Meghan:

Awww, didn't know you were from Maine Annie!
  6:11am
Dave B:

:-)

Now did you actually find 3 hours worth of Vacationland songs?
  6:11am
Meghan:

We get to dabble in each state!
  6:13am
annie:

i think it's where i lived in a past life. my trip there this spring was incredible and unforgettable.. two months.. my mother, she is
  6:16am
Dave B:

Dirigo - (I Lead)

Maine's motto
  6:29am
Dave B:

ha!
  6:30am
Meghan:

I was glad you sent this... this went around the WFMU email for a bit....
  6:31am
Dave B:

the video is pretty good in a bad sort of way!

:-)
  6:37am
Noah:

Can we skip CT? There's only about 2 people I like there, other than that the state is useless. Back when I was a negative person, I thought it would be good for travel if we blew up CT and moved the states closer...
  6:37am
Noah:

OH, yea, GOOD MORNING MEGAN!!!! I emailed you...
  6:37am
Elwyn:

Hey gang.

I can't stop sneezing. Please kill me mercifully. It dust allergies from moving home
  6:39am
Meghan:

hehe... silly Noah.... though I agree with you about CT. Stupid left hand exits....
  6:41am
Dave B:

Nice Noah! I had a similar sentiment for the bulk of the Garden State years ago thinking that it just got in the way of getting to D.C.

I think a true Interstate Highway would be good. Just one exit at the other border.

Gesundheit Elwyn
  6:43am
annie:

you can ride without a helmet in maine too..
  6:43am
Chuck:

Wow, can't believe I overslept.
  6:44am
jamesie:

South Dakota and Montana as well
  6:45am
Noah:

Nick Cave was over for dinner the other night!
  6:47am
Meghan:

hush you Noah.... you evil thing. I bet Chavo sat on his lap too right? Plus I know neither of you cook...
  6:48am
Chuck:

Oh, Frankie.... *swoon*
  6:49am
Noah:

WHAT?? I TOTALLY cook and well too, no one else in this house can cook, especially Chavo!!
  6:52am
Chuck:

You need to have thumbs to cook, Noah. No surprise...
  6:53am
Chuck:

Yay, I noticed we finally got some rain last night! The lawn is like a bed of straw...
  6:59am
Chuck:

Wow, were the guys in Cpt. Beefheart totally drugged out when they did this?
  6:59am
Noah:

Who says you need thumbs to cook? You just need a good palate!
  6:59am
jamesie:

its good enough for me
  7:00am
Noah:

OH, and Captain Beefheart RULES the airwaves, ALWAYS!
  7:01am
Jefff:

This is a great road trip, but at this rate we won't get to California (or Alaska or Hawaii for that matter) until September.... and what about DC? No airplay without representation I guess. You'll have to find another theme for Banned in DC. Give me a call or send a message as soon as you get a chance.
  7:02am
Dave B:

Chuck - I've heard that Beefheart actually scored the music to sound that way...
  7:05am
Elwyn:

@Jefff: I like the long road trip. Gives me more time to get to know and flirt with the cute brunette with pretty eyes!
But I've been told that most ladies don't like the Beefheart. So sad :-(
  7:05am
Chuck:

Must eat a lot of cheese in Vermont....
  7:08am
kath:

are we there yet??????
  7:09am
Chuck:

Morning, Kath!
  7:09am
kath:

oh, now I see I am not the only one to say that!!!!
  7:11am
Meghan:

Morning Kath!
  7:11am
Dave B:

greets K.

Hey Meg, that JVC Force track I sent represents where I was born and raised. And though not technically a "state" there has been talk of secession...

Gotta represent!
  7:13am
Chuck:

Isn't Massachusetts one of the few states that kept a Native American name?
  7:13am
Elwyn:

Re Dakota: The Donna's "40 Boys in 40 Night" has the line "because there's no cute boys in Dakota"

I hope we get "U Mass" by Pixies
  7:14am
Noah:

@ Dave B
"Strong Island" is one of my ALL time favorite songs!!
  7:15am
Chuck:

Are the Bee Gee's in this set, Meghan?
  7:16am
Chuck:

Question answered...
  7:17am
Meghan:

Alternatively, Massachusett has been represented as Moswetuset, from the name of the Moswetuset Hummock (meaning "hill shaped like an arrowhead"
  7:17am
Chuck:

This was a top 40 hit for them if I remember rightly...
  7:19am
Chuck:

Yay! Juliana is so cool!
  7:19am
kath:

Here on Long Island almost every town is an Indian name, er, or at least some 'white man' version of what was an indian name.

Good Afternoon Andy!
  7:23am
Magda:

sorry I woke up late for the road trip.
  7:23am
Chuck:

Ha, Kath! I almost went into an anti-white man tirade on FB yesterday. The religious right is pissing me off more and more each day...
  7:24am
Meghan:

Morning Magda! Don't worry, you didn't miss Pam!
  7:24am
Magda:

i'm glad i got DKM to wake me up
  7:28am
Andy in Berlin:

Good afternoon indeed!
  7:28am
Dave B:

Here's some tasty tidbits on the origins of State Names... a good majority are aboriginal, albeit basterdized...

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0854966.html
  7:28am
Chuck:

Did you ever go to U Mass, Meghan?
  7:29am
Meghan:

Nope! I went to art school! School of the Art Institute of Chicago and SVA
  7:30am
Dave B:

Looks like they need spell check in Massachusetts:

  7:31am
Chuck:

I think my buddy Tom Cippola (which means 'onion' in Italian) got his masters degree at U Mass...
  7:32am
kath:

Dave and I both had friends that went to SVA. when were you there Meg?
  7:32am

  7:33am
kath:

Ha, I did not know hat Dave!
  7:35am
kath:

I went to Boston and Providence on my *first* honeymoon.
  7:35am

With that many letters in the name there was sure to be a mistake, Dave! Jeez, couldn't they pick a shorter name!
  7:36am
ALF of Hip Hop Slam:

Hello there Meghan and FMU listeners! :-)
  7:36am

  7:37am
Meghan:

Morning ALF!
  7:37am
jeff p:

I got offered a job at Harvard but they didn't offer me enough money
  7:37am
Dave B:

I go to R.I. monthly for my friends house concerts.

Why just the other week was the big summer blast. Local band Shacklehands along with Cordero and The Sadies...

The end of this month The Lonesome Brothers...

Now if only Connecticut would move aside, the ride would be a lot better, eh Noah?
  7:38am
kath:

Gotta roll on... later.
  7:38am
Dave B:

@parq - tap reference?
  7:39am
kath:

Happy travels, all.
  7:39am
Dave B:

Chuck - I'm wondering how that lake's name is pronounced. And what happens if you have a stutter?
  7:40am
Chuck:

Ta, Kath...
  7:40am
Parq:

Dave B, but of course.
  7:40am
Dave B:

TAP INTO AMERICA!
  7:40am
Chuck:

With that name, Dave, it's gonna sound like you stutter even if you don't! Ha!
  7:41am
Dave B:

  7:42am
Dave B:

Could you tell me how to get to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
  7:45am
Chuck:

  7:51am
brian:

Meghan-- I hope your NJ set includes Dave Van Ronk's "Garden State Stomp!"
  7:53am
Meghan:

awww, It doesn't.... the curse of only 5 songs for a set....
  7:54am
catpatz:

haha, ok. fair enough.
  7:54am
Thanley:

Mornin, Peeps!
  7:56am
Meghan:

Morning Thanley!
  7:56am
Dave B:

Meghan - I think those left hand exits are a little easier than the Jersey Jug Handles... for me, its the construction on 95 that irks me...
  7:56am
Thanley:

This Makes Me Want to Take a Road Trip!
  8:01am
annie:

i think alice's restaurant took place in springfield. it's a fantastic movie. a must-see!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064002/
  8:03am
Chuck:

Is Virginia for next week, Meghan? I was born there...
  8:03am
Dave B:

Hey THanley - check it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqJgJtcZQHQ#t=5m21s
  8:04am
Meghan:

Yep, we are heading down south next week.... not getting as far due to the roadside attraction!
  8:05am
Chuck:

Still know nothing about Dean and Britta. Point me in the right direction....
  8:05am
Parq:

Must step out for a minute. If that wretched Billy Joel song is on tap, let's get it over with.
  8:07am
Meghan:

Billy Joel? For Allentown? I grew up there too... but no, it is not on there
  8:07am
jeff p:

new york state of mind
  8:08am
Meghan:

Turn on some top 40 station for that one....
  8:09am
Chuck:

I think most of these songs are about the city not the state. There is much more to NY than the Manhattan area!
  8:10am
Dave B:

Bollocks To You!

nice choice...
  8:10am
jeff p:

no, i think that's the wretched song parq was talking about.
  8:11am
jeff p:

well, in fairness, with billy joel, after a certain point they all became wretched
  8:12am
Chuck:

What's Bollocks on the periodic table, Dave? Don't have mine handy... hehe....
  8:13am
Meghan:

but he didn't do Empire State of Mind.... that was Jay Z
  8:14am
Chuck:

Explains why I don't know Dean & Britta. I don't listen to top 40 radio, as you know...
  8:15am
Thanley:

Cool,Thanks Dave! Gwar-B-Que in Richmond,Va This Weekend. Wish I could Go!
  8:16am
Meghan:

Dean and Britta are TOTALLY not top 40!
  8:17am
Dave B:

Chuck

21 for the singular bollock
39 for the plural bollocks

HA!
  8:19am
Chuck:

Oh, I see now that your comment at 8:08 was not directed at me! Sorry for the misinterpretation....
  8:20am
Chuck:

Yeah! Glen!
  8:20am

  8:25am
Parq:

Ah, I returned just in time for the PA Polka! Having grown up with Polish relatives is south NJ, I heard a lot of that song as a kid. I suppose that ought to make me hate it, but I'm totally nostalgic over it.

Dave B:

  8:42am
Dave B:

Are there any songs about Guam?
  8:43am
