Listener comments!

  12:00pm
Pearly Sweets:

Diddley!
  12:01pm
Jøe Steele:

First, boo ya.
  12:01pm
Jøe Steele:

Oh now I just feel silly.
  12:02pm
gerardo:

hola, liz!

nice start ;)

hi everyone! (hi pearly)

no way to assert "firsts" here, js...
  12:03pm
Carmichael:

This doesn't sound like Bo Diddley.
  12:05pm
Carmichael:

This does sound like Bo Diddley.
  12:05pm
Liz B.:

Sorry everyone, couldn't resist. It will go a little further downhill before we come back up again!
  12:05pm
Pearly Sweets:

Oh you saucy minx! This is bringing up my day!
  12:06pm
Pearly Sweets:

Aloha, Gerardo!
  12:06pm
Carmichael:

Now I'm intrigued.
  12:08pm
Jøe Steele:

Do your worst.
  12:08pm
Joe:

How bout something from Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle"
  12:08pm
gerardo:

you've read "me mind", liz :D

and then the powers talk about plagiarism... idiots!
  12:08pm
Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!
  12:09pm
Joe:

No, wait... "Paid tha Cost to Be that Boss"

Because the dog paid the cost. And now he's the boss. Of dogs.
  12:10pm
Carmichael:

Gotta have the shave-and-a-haircut beat.
  12:11pm
Sean Daily:

Is anyone else's Web stream skipping?
  12:12pm
Carmichael:

My WMP is clear as a bell.
  12:13pm
still b/p:

WMP = White Man's Privilege?
  12:13pm
Joe:

World Monkey Population
  12:14pm
Pearly Sweets:

The playlist and the chat is going in and out of lag, but the audio is fine for me and my Willie Mays Pitch
  12:14pm
gerardo:

"i want candy" versions?, i love this one

(preparing some new material to send soon ;))
  12:15pm
Walter Mitty:

Perfection!
  12:16pm
Jay from Scotland:

Sublime
  12:18pm
BSI:

Wicked Marmoset Plasma.
obviously.
  12:18pm
Cecile:

I'm missing something.

Long may Eddie Grant wave. Up to about Electric Avenue. Which I still like.
  12:18pm
Walter Mondale's priest:

When malcontents post, wise men parry.
  12:20pm
Joe:

Well, without Electric Avenue, where wouldst one rock down to?

And then, from whence to take it higher?
  12:20pm
gerardo:

is this Tafo track from the 50s, 60s? - gorgeous!

(cecile! :D)
  12:21pm
Liz B.:

The Tafo track is from 1976, from a film called "Aj Da Badmash"
  12:22pm
Ike:

I have to agree with Cecile on that one.

And no skipping here. AAC+ is sounding great on Foobar. And Foobar crushes the lame-o Warbly Mush Plank.
  12:23pm
Cecile:

I have been listening to the beta player because WIMP is being a bit of a bastage these days..

A little bit buggy, but the sound is amazing.
  12:24pm
Cecile:

that's exactly right, Joe.
  12:25pm
Joe:

Mariposa means "butterfly" but, I found out recently, is also a slur.
  12:27pm
Carmichael:

Agreed about the Wonderful Mongolian Pedestrian.

But you gotta understand,
I'm just a workin' for the Man.
  12:27pm
Liz B.:

Never heard of mariposa as a slur, maybe you are thinking "maricon"?
  12:27pm
gerardo:

thanx, liz! ;) - you can never derive recording dates from that kind of material

in this song's case, the allusion is literal, joe

great song! - r u dancing, cecile?
  12:27pm
Joe:

Nope. Definitely a slur. Means the same thing, however.

Don't ask me how I found out.
  12:28pm
Jøe Steele:

Holy crap, this is freaking awesome.
  12:28pm
Carmichael:

Butterfly, as in "one who is not faithful".
  12:29pm
Cecile:

Or likes Mariah Carey a lot.
  12:30pm
BSI:

According to my high-school spanish teacher, 'mariposa' would be a butterfly, but also a term of certain abuse towards male humans who prefer the romantic company of other male humans. ... one of the few things retained in the memory from school...

oh, and thursday was plastic square pizza day.
  12:30pm
ted:

liz, is this oorutaichi album out in the US?? haven't been able to find hard copies of his stuff anywhere!
  12:31pm
gerardo:

"maricón" is a strong word for gay males, literally meaning "poco hombre"

your assertion is right,. carm, but I insist, in the case of the song it was literal

your comment reminded me of ken's last marathon performance, cecile...
  12:33pm
Liz B.:

Apparently the Oorutaichi CD can be purchased at Other Music and/or CD Baby.
  12:33pm
gerardo:

i c

the usage of "mariposa" BSI mentions is common in central america countries ;)
  12:34pm
Liz B.:

Thanks for the slang lessons, Gerardo!
  12:35pm
Cecile:

lmao, gerardo! Don't tell me he did "vision of love"!
  12:35pm
Joe:

Needs some reclamation - it's such a fun word to say. Wonderful cadence.
  12:35pm
zoot:

Golly gosh, I can't believe that Prince Rama of Ayodha would rip off Bo Diddley the way he did on that last cut.
A clever and subversive set, Ms. B
  12:37pm
Carmichael:

That very 1st track sounded more like King Khan or Mojo Nixon.
  12:41pm
Animal Planet:

WMP = When Mariposas Pounce!
  12:47pm
gerardo:

anytime, liz! ;)

yes, cecile, ken sang 'vision of love', and i presume he was wearing some boobs that finally fell down or something (talking about maricones...) btw, when will those videos be on the blog, liz?
  12:52pm
Liz B.:

Yes, I hope those vids from the Marathon Finale will be up soon. Though I'm not so sure you want visions of Ken from that night!
  12:54pm
dc pat:

WHOA! Nice song title!
  12:55pm
gerardo:

a couple of girl friends of mine are regulars at a krsna temple here, and they say there are some jam moments when the guys playing instruments start mixing chants and mantras with their folk rhythms. that would explain the diddley -prince rama liaison ;)

long live plunderphonics!

and yes, liz, i want to see ken, and you with keili, and bethany, and brownyn and every hoof & mouther there! (i would've love watching bronwyn during her "pledge drive" trance! :D)
  12:57pm
Lisa:

Great show Liz! I can actually listen in real time this week! K is loving Japan - wants to move.
  12:59pm
Liz B.:

Hey Lisa, good to hear from you and glad that Keili is having a blast in Japan!
  1:02pm
dc pat:

thee oh sees have such a killer guit sound...
  1:10pm
Carmichael:

Now we're talking. Something about Thai/Viet pop that just grabs me.
  1:13pm
gerardo:

carm.. i've learned it's no use having expectations on 'fmu's playlists. this sense of permanent surprise is a plus no other station in the world has! :D
  1:17pm
Carmichael:

Gerardo, the name of my new band will be Permanent Surprise.
  1:19pm
gerardo:

cool, carm! - wanna hear that
  1:19pm
dc pat:

does anybody else fined boingboing.net and their obsession w/ star wars-type crap a little too cute and fekkin annoying?
  1:22pm
chris:

Yeah, there's an Alvin and the Chipmunks vibe I can live without.
  1:24pm
postmanpaul:

i trust you liz. i'm happy to walk beside you thru this musical maze.
  1:25pm
gerardo:

i'm with u, p²
  1:26pm
gerardo:

liz, do u have "elevar la producción" around, to mix it with MIS pals?
  1:27pm
chris:

That's not to say the show isn't sounding great. It is.
  1:30pm
detroitdave:

WOW, this sucks...........Hi Liz and all!
  1:32pm
dc pat:

alright, guess it's just me then...sometimes it seems like "Xeni" and the gang need to grow up some
  1:34pm
Carmichael:

Popcorn.
  1:36pm
gerardo:

hi, d²

more candies, liz? ;)

so it's disco time starting...
  1:37pm
Liz B.:

I think this is the most discolicious song I have planned for the show today...
  1:38pm
gerardo:

yep - it's sexy and sensuous...
  1:41pm
Marshall Stacks:

Grandmaster Liz B. on the wheels of steel!
  1:41pm
detroitdave:

Hi Gerardo, so Liz..........you PLANNED disco for the show today?? Hmmm, strange days indeed!
  1:43pm
Liz B.:

I'm no disco-hater. Last week I had an unplanned space disco escapade, to boot!
  1:45pm
Pearly Sweets:

Space disco escapade was wonderful! This song makes me think of the propellerheads, a group I haven't thought about for at least 10 years.
  1:46pm
gerardo:

yeah, great time indeed! - everybody dancin' around... "corn weenies on the ceiling"...
  1:47pm
Pearly Sweets:

I saw a pretty gnarly accident on the way to lunch (which made the lunch part go away) so I need more fun in my diet to take away the imagery!
  1:48pm
Pearly Sweets:

Also I have a question I've asked a few times, but no one has been able to provide an answer. So I'll see if this group knows. Is the first OCS album worth trying to track down?
  1:50pm
Cecile:

what is OCS? Or is it OhSees
  1:53pm
Pearly Sweets:

OCS was the Ohsees before the were the ohsees. Their first four (five?) album
  1:55pm
GP:

Afternoon y'all.
  1:55pm
Pearly Sweets:

It sounded like John doing folk music mixed with noise dirges. 2,3,& 4 are all pretty great. 5 was when they started going towards the current Thee Oh Sees sound. Then Sucks Blood came out which was the first one under The Ohsees... for like two albums? Then it changed to Thee Oh Sees.
  1:55pm
Cecile:

I have my tickets in MN. You don't have to like them. I like them enough for both of us, Liz. And probably this entire board.
  1:59pm
Pearly Sweets:

I wish the meatmen and dead milkmen would play together and just do versions of the "milkmen/meatmen stomp" for the entire show.
  2:00pm
Cecile:

Rachid Taha is stunning live. He is so great.
Soooooo great.
He is an Algerian sex machine - his own words!
  2:01pm
dc pat:

did you just say the Meatmen? holy crap...
  2:01pm
gerardo:

oh, my!, is rachid james brown prodigal son or sth?
  2:03pm
Liz B.:

Yeah, the Meatmen!!
  2:03pm
Pearly Sweets:

Tesco Vee finally came out of hiding a few years back. There is a good interview with him at markprindle.com from a year or so ago.
  2:04pm
Cecile:

I don't know.
But as they might say in New Zealand, he is viry sixy.
And the band never lets up!

War of the Superbikes!
  2:08pm
Cecile:

Is scalping the guru the same thing as going gunning for the Buddha?
  2:14pm
detroitdave:

Now THIS set has much better appeal.
  2:26pm
detroitdave:

YAY....... Cheater Slicks!!!!!!!
  2:26pm
Pearly Sweets:

I want to live in a city that affords me an alliteration with my name. But there aren't many good "R" cities around.
  2:26pm
Sean Daily:

They say, Cecile, that when you find the Buddha, kill the Buddha.

Who says that? Why, those bastards who hate Buddha, of course.
  2:29pm
Cecile:

Lousy Buddhaphobes.
  2:29pm
dc pat:

Sweets: tell me about it...
  2:29pm
detroitdave:

So to clarify Sean,......do we hafta hate him before we go gunnin fer im?
  2:35pm
Blingy Buddah:

Don't be a hata yo

Peace, out and all dat.
  2:35pm
Cecile:

I think you kill him out of love. Like some kind of spiritual Lifetime movie.
  2:36pm
Most Dangerous Game dude:

we love you, so you must die.

Get runnin'
  2:37pm
Pearly Sweets:

Black Randy!
  2:38pm
Pearly Sweets:

This song should always be followed by PacMan Fever. Any version of it.
  2:39pm
detroitdave:

Actually I don't hate Buddah........he's one of the more popular incense burners. Sets are gettin lovable Liz!
  2:39pm
jt:

I slept in a monks tune
  2:39pm
Douchey Promoter Guy:

Tuxedomoon will draw 400 people.
  2:39pm
GP:

2nd vote for Pacman Fever!
  2:41pm
Black Randy:

I think you should book The Mentors, they're great.
  2:41pm
Douchy Promoter Guy:

what about the Go-Gos?
  2:43pm
Pearly Sweets:

I would have loved to see the go gos on the same bill as the mentors.
  2:45pm
Cecile:

My favorite comment board in-jokes:

1. Ray Manazarek
2. Please Call Stella
3. Black Randy phone call with the promoter
4. AIG
5. Cupcake Dog.
6. Budgie
  2:47pm
Pearly Sweets:

Now is that in order of enjoyment or no order?
  2:48pm
dc pat:

hey, I missed out on 1 and 2...
  2:48pm
gerardo:

wow - lunch time activates the playlist to the most!...

i was asking myself the same question, cecile...
  2:48pm
Cecile:

No order, really.

You call this food?
  2:50pm
Cecile:

dc pat, kenny ran this horrible, self-serving interview from Ray Manarek about 3 weeks ago. It was astonishingly narcisstic and quite hilarious.
  2:51pm
Cecile:

And he had this recording of a phone script to teach English that started with "Please call Stella" and the rest of the piece was the things she would bring which were all completely random.
  2:53pm
gerardo:

no, i was literal - i left the desk around 20 minutes, in order to have lunch ;)

i liked that manzarek stuff, and i was surprised that kenny played john oswald's o'hell - considering that oswald's no "doors fan" whatsoever...
  2:53pm
detroitdave:

z z z
z z z z
z z z z z z
  2:53pm
Carmichael:

And he's been posting ever since. We can't get rid of the bastard.
  2:54pm
Pearly Sweets:

I kinda want a cupcake for dinner.
  2:55pm
dc pat:

oh, yeah, Manzarek-talk about douchey... I still like the doors though...thanks for keeping me up on the jokes..
  2:55pm
Cecile:

that's right!
Him and those leather pants and the Central Park apartment and "I want to see Jim Morrison dead"
  2:56pm
Pearly Sweets:

Liz, do you have a favorite accuplaylist in-joke?
  2:57pm
Carmichael:

And incessant drivel about "those jazz cats".
  2:59pm
Liz B.:

You guys MUST listen to Irene's show today... John Goodman is actually here!!!
  2:59pm
gerardo:

but, as a storyteller, manzarek sounds great

i think it's like blaming the beatles for being egomaniacal at interviews...
  3:00pm
Ike:

Willie Nelson is great!
  3:00pm
gerardo:

so it's "the" john goodman! - i'll stay tooned, then
  3:01pm
Pearly Sweets:

Manzarek has a good voice, I'll agree with that, but it only adds to how big of a douche he sounds with what he is saying. And I make fun of the Beatles interviews just as much.
  3:02pm
GP:

Naked willy new playlist favorite!
