Morning all! Woah! Elwyn.... You are early!
  6:03am
Dave B:

Only the first hour today. The publisher of Skyrim is using the big 103" plasma in the boardroom at 8. Gotta head in early to assist
  6:04am
Dave B:

That's not the Elwyn we're looking for. MOVE ALONG!

Here !
re—Bonjour Meghan !
hello Dave B, Elwyn, Chuck, fred VH, the parkies !

Hey there, Pierre!
  6:13am
hamburger:

according the stock photo: immigration = chasing poorly dressed island people outta your country /cities with shotguns.. :op
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15am
Meghan:

Basically..... at least that is what they are trying to do here..... and the moustached cop actually looks like the type of cops that do that stuff too!
  6:16am
Chuck:

Must not be many songs that actually use the word "immigration" or "immigrant" in the title. So, Meghan?
  6:17am
diceman:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
Each with a buck and a quarter
Jill came down with two fifty
That fuckin whore.
OH!!!
  6:24am

Yachting cap = check
Blue blazer = check
Ascot = check
Ready for next weekend!
  6:25am
ausmanx:

evening Meghan and all... history from the Antipodes, pursuant to Van Diemen's Land - it's the home of the only successful genocidal program in human history (but they don't like to talk about it much down there)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:26am
Meghan:

I am still waiting for my dress to arrive!

Evening Ausmanx! Isn't that always the case when it comes to genocide....
  6:28am
fred von helsing:

people sing this when they see my apartment
  6:28am
hamburger:

I believe the Smurfs theme tune was subliminally all about immigration issues and stuff
  6:29am
ausmanx:

i guess one would we scared by someone proud of genocide, but at least some acknowledgement of historical mistakes would be good... Australia ain't so good at that
  6:30am
fred von helsing:

don't have to live with swag deficiency - won't someone at fmu hear my plea for crapola ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:30am
Meghan:

Hamburger.... I think you may be on to something.....
  6:31am
fred von helsing:

i don't see how aussieland's genocide was more successful than america's. pls explain?
  6:31am
Dave B:

Yeah, where's my marathon stuffs? I needs me some clean t-shirts
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:33am
Meghan:

They are mailing out mouse pledge premiums in the next month.... patience grasshopper!
  6:33am
Chuck:

Generally, anything ending with the suffix "cide" isn't good...
  6:34am
Sometimes Jasmine:

Niiice theme. Reminds me of trying to dodge my visa expiry in the US of A. "Cmon America, let me sleep on your couch..."
  6:34am
pierre:

You are all going to look so neat for the parade !
Do you think i'll be able to see some pictures here or there ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35am
Meghan:

It should be a lot of fun....(if my dress ever arrives!) Will definitely post images!
  6:36am
Dave B:

Pictures a plenty will be posted. I'm trying to see if I can put together a kit to stream some video too. More infos next week
  6:37am
ausmanx:

fred, there are no more Tasmanian aborigines, I'm afraid. it's a literally successful genocide, an entire genetic race exterminated (deliberately).
  6:38am
pierre:

It'll be like being part of that.
i wanted to take pictures when Brian Turner came in Paris, but he has done that, and now it's on Facebook, i have to see if i can grab them.
  6:38am
ausmanx:

anyway, bugger genocide, let's dance!
  6:38am
Chuck:

Pictures will be needed! I'm having difficulty visualizing Meghan in a dress....
  6:40am
Dave B:

Kinda like the skeeball video thing I tried. I need to pick up a mobile hotspot to make it happen
  6:44am
Dave B:

Nick, just watch that video I shared with Meghan over and over. No acid required
  6:44am
ausmanx:

any songs about bugging and phone-tapping for next week? that would be a good 21st century aspect...
  6:45am
Chuck:

You'd also have to change the tablet the Satue of Liberty is holding...
  6:47am
ausmanx:

the Statue of Liberty is an immigrant!
  6:47am
fred von helsing:

Tasmos gone. OK.
  6:47am
Immigrants:

We built this city!
We built this city on ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
  6:48am
pierre:

we kind of send it to you,
to have one smaller upside a bridge in Paris.
  6:48am
pierre:

Oh… Aznavour.
  6:49am
fred von helsing:

The Statue of Liberty is the kind of immigrant we want. Basically virtuous but arguably kinda slutty lookin' in a retro-decadent European way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49am
Meghan:

Nick saw that video with me yesterday!
  6:49am
Chuck:

What we really need is a wall to keep stupid people out...
  6:51am
ausmanx:

pierre, every time I'm in Paris, i hear this Manu Chao song EVERYWHERE I go. is that normal, is it HUGE there?
  6:54am
Daveed:

@ Chuck What about the stupid people who are here already?
  6:55am
Dave B:

The prophecy of "Idiocracy" shall be fulfilled
  6:55am
Chuck:

I would suggest the genocide thing, but it isn't needed. Stupid people usually end up doing something so incredably stupid that it kills them anyway...
  6:58am
pierre:

@ausmanx : when the album came out, in 1998, it was a massive sucess. Manu Chao, is still considered a famous french / spanish singer, being part of the Mano Negra before going solo. So i guess a lot of places, bars, restaurant, would play his music quite often. I must confess that having heard him quite a lot in my teenage year, i grew a bit tired of him, but i still enjoy a lot of things his done, specially with the Mano Negra :)


@ ALL : not so long ago, before we change president, our (now thakfully past) interior minister passed a law that woud "select" student from other countries to come study in France. It was such a shame that a few days later after it got cancelled, dark times France has been through with Nicolas Sarkozy i tell you.
  6:59am
Dave B:

For next week I request Legion Of Rock Stars doing Jim Croce's "Operator"

  7:00am
Marmalade Kitty:

Good morning! Great music!

how is it the borders you were talking about, don't contain the US military?
  7:01am
pierre:

@ ausmanx : i just read that it was n°1 in the french charts for almost 200 weeks
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:02am
Meghan:

The military can't watch all of the border.... on top of that, there are insane civilians who take law in their own hands and patrol the border themselves.... SCARY!!
  7:03am
Dave B:

And they have bigger and more guns
  7:03am
Rob from Maryland:

Just wandering by. I am very happy to hear Molotov's Frijolero. I love seeing the video too. Thanks!
  7:04am
ausmanx:

ah, that would explain it, pierre. amazing. the theme this week is good for me at work, meghan... which is where i listen to FMU; i do subtitles for the chinese news every week in Australia
  7:04am
Rob from Maryland:

Frijolero is apparently a made-up word.
  7:06am
Chuck:

"Hanging On the Telephone" - Blondie
  7:06am
pierre:

then the Nerves "hanging on the telephone" is a must play
  7:07am
Daveed:

That theme rings true!
  7:07am
Rob from Maryland:

"Switchboard Susan" by nick lowe.

hahaha! i totally should have!!! Don't you worry Keith.... Can't have an immigrant show without Gogol!
  7:16am
ausmanx:

we go Chinese into English, but the news is prepared by a public channel here for Chinese migrants! and for next week, i think Wichita Lineman is essential, as is The Firm's PHONE TAP !
  7:17am
pierre:

@ Magda : Bonjour, have you heard the "wet croissant" compilation btw ? :-)
  7:19am
Marmalade Kitty:

@Meghan: by contain the military, I meant like keep them in! :)

Megan - I find it interesting that your theme "The Melting Pot of the World" comes just a day after we had diversity day here at work.
  7:42am
Magda:

@ Pierre - It's been a while since I looked at my swag list. So I can't really know for sure what I get or what I won. It's always a surprise. Last year I didn't know I won a dubstep compilation. I didn't know I was in the running for one. I was like, well Christmas came early this early.
  7:44am
Davice:

You could do a Bird theme and include chickens?
  7:44am
pierre:

@ Magda : it happened to my girlfriend with a Big Blood LP !
how happy i was after she gave it to me !
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:45am
Meghan:

Davice, if only they waited a day! They could have had a soundtrack for it! I actually pulled this theme together for a show I did in Berlin! Did a bird theme already... but not one that is just chickens....
  7:45am
Dave B:

If I stick to Central Park West no dropped signals! Good selection for a nice day and walk
