Cecile:

Yes, the eye was my "eye"dea.
He was going to write something on his forehead for me, and I suggested a third eye. Being station manager Ken, Ike tells me that he actually glued an eye on his forehead. LOL! Going that extra mile.

Das bekannteste Stück von Eroc, der Instrumentaltitel Wolkenreise , entstand 1978 als Hintergrundmusik zu einem Schauspiel der Band, das seinerzeit die Konzerte eröffnete. The most famous piece of Eroc, the instrumental title clouds travel, created in 1978 as background music to a drama of the band that has opened the concerts. Nachdem es dann 1979 auf dem Album Eroc 3 erschienen war, entwickelte sich die eingängige, gelöste Melodie mit Akkordeon zum Radiohit (32 Wochen in den Airplay-Charts). Since then in 1979 the album was released Eroc 3, developed the catchy, melody with accordion resolved at radio (32 weeks in the airplay charts). Wolkenreise wurde als Single veröffentlicht und erreichte Platz 32 der deutschen Charts. Clouds travel was released as a single and reached the place 32 of the German charts. Es war der einzige Singleerfolg von Eroc oder Grobschnitt. It was the only single Eroc and the success of Grobschnitt.

Ah, Faust! Coming to town at the end of the month.

BTW, what's the cartoon? I presume it must be Belgian or French. Brussels is a great place for cartoons. You can find shops full of les bandes dessinées ...
  10:46am
Carmichael:

Good morning, BW and friendly others. Billy & Dusty's show last Friday was the funniest thing on radio in a loooooong time!

And this whole Faust fest on this station is wonderful too. Now, if you'd only treat Hawkwind with the same reverence ...
  10:50am
Ike:

Carmichael, agreed on Friday -- Billy Jam and Clay Pigeon were great together, but possibly even more hilarious was Bryce vs. Irwin earlier the same day. And Hawkwind gets lots of airplay here. I think Stan plays them often but he doesn't do a playlist usually.
  10:52am
BSI:

A Hawkwind a day is better 'n vitamins.
  10:53am
Cecile:

Scott plays lotsa Hawkwind.

I loved that Irwin kept trying to taunt Bryce, and Bryce kept agreeing with him. LOL!

Get up on the floor
We're going to boogie oogie oogie
until Billy and Benjamin can't boogie no more
  10:55am

Bryce was on his best behavior that day, perhaps due to becoming one of the Adopted Ones...
  10:57am
Cecile:

the Chosen...

You adopted him, right?
  10:58am
BSI:

yep. and he has yet to learn how to go on the papers...
  10:59am
Carmichael:

Good to hear about Scott's superior music taste. I got a heavy dose of Hawkwind, Horslips and Thin Lizzy this weekend, as well as some Dread Zeppelin as a chaser.
  11:01am
Pearly Sweets:

Hawkwind for your heavy days. Gong for when its time to chill out.

Two words, BSI, puppy pads.
  11:02am
Carmichael:

I tried to like Gong, but they didn't take.
  11:03am
BSI:

...although, early Hawkwind mixes well with Camebert Electrique... add a dash of early Guru Guru and you've got a heady cocktail of psychic menace...
  11:05am

i'm not one for chatting, personally. but you should entreat the listeners.. music begets complacency.. talk, dammit!

Pearly Sweets:

Daevid Allen's Gong is always very enjoyable. When it became Pierre Moerlen's Gong, I stop following so much.
  11:07am
BSI:

Cecile: The puppy pads had a strange pheromone-like effect on the poor thing. I took photos of what happened but they were promptly seized by the DC police dept... Insectoid DJs are notoriously hard to train.
  11:08am

My next band will be called Puppy Pads.

marathon veteran:

Steveroo, at the end of the marathon, all your pledges will be added up, and you will get an invoice for the total amount. That final amount, and not the amount of any individual pledge, will determine your swag level, installment-plan privileges and so forth. You could, for example, do 25 $15 pledges and get everything that comes with a single $375 pledge.

On WFMU and also at the local Burmese restaurant. Seriously, there's a Nepalese restaurant in town, and they play "modern" stuff like this all the time.

Not to mention the way over the top melodramatic Vietnamese pop genre.

Sadly, the really good Burmese restaurant in Jackson Heights closed. Burmese food is GREAT. There are some good ones in the D.C. area.

If anybody is holding back: Don't wait. For one thing, the chances of winning a prize are far better BEFORE this weekend and the big finale.

Hi y'all, was just browsing the comments from earlier.

Stingy D, FYI - the PATH only accepts LIMITED Metrocards.

Annie, if you take the Metro North to GCT you should get the 4 or 5 subway down to Fulton st., get out and walk the 2 blocks west to the WTC Path. Way easier than walking from GCT to Penn Station & then taking 2 Path trains.
