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.

Irwin will be pleased - he wanted to play "8" yesterday, but couldn't put his hand on it.

The arena hasn't had "Brendan Byrne" on the wall in a boatload of time, b/t/w.

  9:31am
Kevin in London:

It's not raining... Love Vashti Bunyan, Diamond Day is lovely, and her voice is much the same on her latest album - the last 40 years have obviously been kind to her larynx.

  9:45am
Ike:

That version of "Ruckzuck" is wild. I could drive around the block naked to that a few times. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.
  9:45am
Nakedfoul:

It may be wrong, but it feels so right.
  9:49am
David:

listener mark:

Bit chilly to walk about sans pants
  9:54am
Cecile:

Speaking of no pants, Trouble, can you play something from Flight of the Conchords?

This Tinariwen makes me wish the whole floor could break out in spontaneous, yet meticulously synchronized boogying.
  9:57am
trouble:

cecile, i was thinking of them this a.m, and i forgot to pull it. thanks for the reminder!
  9:58am

Sponsored by Foster Farms, PBR, and Jones Soda Co., Corndog Day is your chance to celebrate the finest of Americana!" yw

  10:08am
postmanpaul:

listener mark - cecile rules.
  10:08am
Cecile:

Trouble, I hope you are doing the robot to this. Or the robo-boogie.
  10:09am

Yes Erella. look up National Corndog Day
  10:10am
annie:

i joined.. :)
  10:10am
Hugo:

Very Pet Shop Boys-like, I thought, this inner city thing. They do make good videos, though, the Boys ...
  10:12am
jaypee:

Yay! Thanks for au revoir simone.
  10:13am
PMD:

Cool! Corndog day! Yummm... I should go join that too.
  10:13am
Kevin in London:

Mmm... you make me want to measure stars in the backyard with a calculator and a ruler, baby
  10:14am
Cecile:

Hugo, the clip for that song is a spot on parody of West End Girls.
I await their take on "Money"
  10:17am
PMD:

annie, I'll write on the corndog wall - still want to touch base with you about maple syrup! don't know how else to touch base with you.
  10:17am
jon:

this is fun. I wish I had an egg to follow along.
  10:18am
annie:

notsowisewoman at yahoo...
  10:19am
annie:

  10:19am
trouble:

hey i'm just trying to get some muesli
  10:20am
annie:

PMD- i am also the admin for "monsanto and it's ilk must be stopped"
  10:28am
Ike:

The Bird and the Bee... meeeeee-ow.
  10:29am
dale:

wfuv always ruins good songs for me. I liked the bird and the bee til they played it nonstop a couple of years ago. it's starting to sound fresh now. thank you wfmu for being eclectic (or having ADD, however you look at it).
  10:32am
postmanpaul:

trouble - grace slick's song 'manhole' is not heard on the radio often enough, is it not?
  10:32am
Listener Dave from NH:

New Psapp? Keen!
Also, a heck of a hooray for Caetano Veloso. I can't wait for summer so I can get to listening to "Livro" some more.
  10:32am
Ike:

Dale, that's how I feel about commercial classic rock stations with regards to certain rawwwwk staples. Except that the classic rock stations never rest any of it, so those 400-800 songs can never sound fresh again... they're ruined forever.
  10:34am
dc pat:

hey annie, I just befriended you...just a warning...
  10:35am
annie:

cool pat!!!
  10:35am
SeanG:

Trouble coming every day
  10:36am
dc pat:

Ike, Dale, but if you're stuck in a car somewhere, every once in awhile, they play a non-standard classic rawk tune which can make it all worthwhile.
  10:37am
annie:

trouble, joe has a bird-song record i sent to the station. i told him to give it to you, has he done that yet?
  10:39am
Ike:

Well, Pat, if you're in D.C., then FM is mind-bogglingly horrible, so I can sort of understand why you'd subject yourself to... actually, no, I can't understand it. They never play enough deep cuts to make the pain remotely worthwhile. I'd rather listen to static while futilely attempting to pick up WMUC or WRNR or WTMD.
  10:43am
dc pat:

You're right about DC radio--it blows hard, why do you think I'm here?-- but it's sort of a game: how long can I listen to songs I've heard 10000 times before they play one I've only heard 1000 times
  10:44am
trouble:

no annie. not yet. but i should just prompt him, perhaps...
  10:44am
Cecile:

trouble, you can catch chunks of the first eps on YouTube.

I have a funny story about this. i have had directTV for a zillion years, and I never get good deals like the new customers.

So I called them up. I said "I want free HBO for 3 months like the new people because I've been with you forever."

My call got lost in the depths of the system and I got transferred to someone else. I said "I want free HBO because the new people get it, and I want to see Flight of the Conchords."

Ten minutes later, I set my Tivo Season Pass to "stun".
  10:45am
trouble:

cecile, that is a touching story. sob sob. why can't i do that?
  10:45am
annie:

when i was working for the contracting company down there, the only station i heard from the radios of co-workers was that awful rock station that had howard stern. then came the greaseman. but i listend to amu in head phones the bluegrass was great..
  10:47am
Cecile:

maybe because you're one of those wonderful people with integrity who only get broadcast and round it out with Netflix? ;D
  10:48am
chris:

Ummm.. that was interesting.
  10:49am
dc pat:

yeah, AMU decided to dump the bluegrass for some reason...so it's kind of useless now.
  10:51am
annie:

i loved lee michael demspey... his show rocked. i moved away before they took the BG off. i also miss whfs... they were great! til they moved to annapolis.
  10:54am
Cecile:

it's such a sad story remembering all the free form and community stations that ended up being boring classic rock.
  10:56am
annie:

on the last day of HFS's broadcast the djays really let loose and broke a few rules. they were pissed..the music that day was amazing
  10:56am
Cecile:

now I got a boring meeting. Have fun!
Great show as always, Trouble.
  10:57am
Cecile:

I can imagine, Annie.
I heard similar things happened the day Ann Arbor's last commercial freeform station made the switch, too
  10:58am
dale:

people pay for television? funny, in this economy you'd think that might be the first thing to go (after the starbucks, of course). on top of the rooftop antenna we have blockbuster, but they have really cut down the # of movies and free exchanges we get in our plan. still cheaper than cable. besides, have you ever seen the 400 blows or fitzcarraldo on cable?
  11:03am
55ffrr:

Herzog has been absent from most cable stations, but 400 blows was just shown on tcm last month.
  11:03am
Civil Joe:

I kept the cable, and the Starbucks for that matter (just black coffee, no fancy latte this or that) The first thing to go was the landline phone.
  11:07am
Kevin in London:

Dale, I have satellite TV - 600 channels and nothing to watch. Fondly remember when I was a kid in the '70s, when we had 3 channels and a black & white TV - those were the days...
  11:07am
jamesie:

nice eccles... Effric is coming back from Barbados in an hour after a horrible week.
  11:09am
postmanpaul:

hi annie, does the bird-song record include the curlew? they sound so cool and eerie-ish; theirs is my estuary mud-flats bird-song of choice as the sun sets behind the anchored wooden hulk on-which the story of the 'heart of darkness' begins to unfold.
and curlew was the name of my rowing club in greenwich london :)
  11:10am
dc pat:

when I was a kid, we received channel 29 fro Philly over antenna, so it was 3 Stooges, Batman, and Japanese monster shows EVERY afternoon.
  11:10am
dale:

we need the fax old tech (fax machine, unfortunately) so the landline has to stay. kevin, I had a free-to-air mpeg sat reciever set up until a lightening strike took out the reciever, but I got a couple hundred channels of arab, german, indian and asian television. I saw a lot of movies on it, dubbed but with english subtitles. China Central Televsion was a great network, a lot of english language documentaries about China.
  11:11am
Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!
  11:11am
annie:

PMP- i am not really sure, i listened to it years ago. trouble can tell you once she wrests it from joe's cold dead hands..
  11:12am
dale:

dc pat: Ultra Man in the afternoon, Godzilla and Gammara at night?
  11:14am
annie:

we were lucky enough to live in long island with the great television from the city.. little rascals were regulars on our list and(when our parents weren't looking) the wretling. all thos ekids shows too... i have found alot of them on youtube now..
  11:19am
dc pat:

Ultra Man, Johnny Socko, and Space Giants which was by far the best. I think these shows had a huge effect on my social development...as did the stooges (both stooges).
  11:20am
vivian:

Is Karen Dalton covering a Neil Young song?
  11:20am
jamesie:

I loved the Grand Ole Oprey coming out of Athens airport by courtesty of the American Forces Radio and Television Service every Saturday night at 8pm during the time of the fascist Greek Colonels regime in 1967. The US 6th fleet hung around to help the Israeli Jets get spare parts while they pounded the other lot. Great radio though!
  11:20am
trouble:

paul, i am putting you in charge of getting us some curlew sounds!
  11:20am
fishmonkeystew:

Howdy all! Nice set list yet again, Trouble. Thanks!
  11:21am
annie:

and i would lie in bed at night with my beloved transistor radio, listening to stations from all over the country.
  11:24am
postmanpaul:

trouble, cool, but failing that i'll post a brace of 'em to you.
  11:25am
dc pat:

ah, a brace, meaning two. We covered that about a month ago...
  11:28am
dale:

my first purchase ever was a GE transitor radio (got the emergency band, too). I would listen to it at night with a radio Shack pillow speaker and imagine what Chicago or Pittsburgh looked like.
  11:28am
trouble:

great!
  11:29am
annie:

trouble- you should ask joe about that record.. i told him it had your name on it..
  11:40am
listener mark:

Trouble, I tried the risotto recipe. I need more practice. It turned thick, well sort of solid.
  11:43am
trouble:

listener mark, you need to add more stock and not let it cook down so much...keep testing it so see if the rice is done, not soft but still with a little tooth to it.
  11:44am
listener mark:

Thank You
  11:45am
postmanpaul:

fu..ing hell, the orig 'heart of darkness' really should be filmed. i for one am looking forward to the bit where the cannibals 'manning' the engine room lose their hippopotamus.
  11:47am
PMD:

dc pat, I think AMU has an HD channel that they play bluegrass on... but yes, does suck that it's gone.
  11:55am
chris:

what a great show
  11:56am
trouble:

thanks everybody for chiming in, cheers.
