A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

I hope they R healthy and doing well over at those other radio stations... but it’s not like WFMU on commercial radio.... When you call to casually discuss pie, z-100 will not even answer the phone! Unlike the pie and music lovers of WFMU!!! Thanks WFMU!

YETI BOB:

PR: I turned on the Z100 webstream just to see what you were talking about. It was a Taco Bell ad. I couldn't even stick with it long enough to hear the dumb DJ shtick - just a wall of ads. I don't know how people can get any enjoyment out of that, they must just filter most of it out. So it's conditioning them not to pay attention ... sort of the opposite of what's going on here.

This Caetano Veloso track was also on the Nacho Libre movie OST. My wife and I have watched that movie a million times. We used to live in Oaxaca, where it was filmed, and so it's also fun to spot all the sights in it. It's also a funny and lighthearted movie.
