Meghan:

Morning Josh!
  6:19am

Now I've gotten a craving for a Philly cheese steak, with pickle, of course.... Is there cheese in the food mart today, Meghan?
  6:23am
Meghan:

I got coffee, yogurt and I already grabbed an egg and cheese sandwich due to my memory of the breakfast theme.... not being stuck without food and coffee again!
  6:23am
Dan:

good morning, Meghan
  6:24am
Meghan:

And a good morning to you as well Dan!
  6:25am
Dan:

My new year's resolution is to start listening to your show live.
  6:27am
Meghan:

I think that is a genius idea! hehe...
  6:27am
Chuck:

I Graham Parker's "3 Martini Lunch" on the menu, Meghan?
  6:30am
Meghan:

Nope.... it will fall under the liquor theme.....
  6:32am
Dan:

I know. There's no better way to start out my day than listening to your awesome awesome show.
  6:32am
Chuck:

Fits there as well... Shirley Temple's song answers my cheese question...
  6:32am
Meghan:

Oh Dave.... btw.... I got some tunes for you... I need to upload it to your server.
  6:39am
Dan:

Thanks Dave B. I'll consider it. But for now I'll stick with the good old-fashioned alarm clock.
  6:39am
Dave B:

And I'll atest, soup IS good food. made a big vat of chicken noodle this week.
  6:40am
Dave B:

Meghan - upload away!
  6:41am
Chuck:

You remind me that I haven't made Pho Bo in a long time, Dave... Where to get star anise though?
  6:43am
Dave B:

Should be able to find star anise in Chinatown, if you have one in your town
  6:45am
Chuck:

Non-existant in my area, Dave... There used to be a small Thai/Vietnamese market in Poughkeepsie where I could get it... It went out of business though, very sad...
  6:48am
Dave B:

You could mail order it from Dean and Deluca!

http://www.deandeluca.com/herbs-and-spices/herbs-spices/star-anise.aspx
  6:50am
Chuck:

Thanks, Dave! You can find anything on the internet these days... I have gotten stuff from D&D before... They tend to be a bit pricey though...
  6:53am
Chuck:

I already have all the other ingredients, I think... Oh, except for the rice noodles!
  6:53am
Parq:

Ah, I see I missed Tiger Lillies and two versions of Miss Otis. Oh well, at least I got here in time to catch Junk Food Junkie -- haven't heard that in decades.
  6:54am
Dave B:

D&D are pricey for sure. Here's another joint - worldspices.com

http://www.worldspice.com/spices/0169staranise.shtml
  6:56am
Chuck:

You are quick at this stuff, Dave! Thanks once again!
  6:56am
Meghan:

Hey there Parq.... well there is always the archives to catch up on the beginning....
  6:57am
Meghan:

There is a company called Penzy's as well... or something like that. They are catalog, but there is a store in Grand Central...
  6:59am
Chuck:

I'll look into them as well, Meg... It sucks that there are no good ethnic markets around where I live anymore...
  6:59am
Dave B:

penzy' is equally as good!

Too bad there aren't enough spice songs for a theme....
  7:00am
Parq:

And I haven't heard any of this other stuff before -- this is a great set!
  7:01am
Dave B:

Rock n Roll McDonalds was OUTSTANDING!
  7:02am
Toby Dammit:

Dang I already had breakfast and lunch and now I'm hungry again!
  7:02am
Meghan:

  7:02am
Chuck:

Good... One of the online company's that I used to get stuff from, The C&C Company, went out of business as well...
  7:04am
Meghan:

Ha! Sorry Toby! There should be a warning with today's show....
  7:04am
Chuck:

Mmm... Beef lips in my hotdog... hehe...
  7:07am
Dave B:

  7:07am
Toby Dammit:

Sittin' in Berlin emptying out the refrigerator! When does this show end!
  7:10am
Chuck:

Not to worry about plugging it, Dave... I'll do business with anyone who's got the stuff I need for a reasonable price... I'll check them out!
  7:11am
Dan:

Your theme next week will be a lack of theme.
  7:14am
Meghan:

Ha! Toby you got about 1 hour and 45 minutes.... call for delivery! Ahhh, yes Dan that is how I should say it!
  7:15am
Chuck:

Or "Breaking Out of Themes", Meg... I know you want to do that anyway and just play whatever...
  7:19am
Meghan:

I sometimes find it harder to put together a show without that restriction. It's funny! I have a trouble picking out what I should play!
  7:19am
Joshua K:

mmmm handburgers
  7:21am
Chuck:

I know! The impulse is just to play everything... But you can't because of the time restriction....
  7:21am
Dave B:

i will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!
  7:22am
Chuck:

Glad you said it, Dave! Saves me the embarressment! HA!
  7:24am
Meghan:

That and I come across stuff that I didn't know or never heard of doing it this way... so it's more wide!

I kept thinking of Whimpy too... but also the Clash going- cheeseboigah!
  7:25am
Chuck:

Chips, chips, chips... No fries...
  7:26am
Meghan:

Coke... no Pepsi! or was it the other way around?
  7:28am
Chuck:

I don't remember! Jeez, you realize those skits were 30 years or so ago!
  7:29am
Dan:

the other way around, I think.
  7:30am
Chuck:

Yay! Love Gang of Four!
  7:35am
Chuck:

You missed "Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffet...
  7:36am
Joshua K:

Are there any songs about tacos
  7:39am
Dave B:

Dick Dale has "Taco Wagon"
  7:41am
Parq:

Thank you! Jimmy Buffet irks the living daylights out of me, too.
  7:41am
Dave B:

and the Angry Samoans - "Tuna Taco"
  7:41am
Chuck:

I was goofing on you, Meg! I wouldn't play anything by Jimmy Buffet either...
  7:43am
Joshua K:

Theres a track like the breakfast one from that show: Ecc - the mighty hamburger
  7:43am
Meghan:

I didn't tell the story about me leaving the Pixies? Where a Jimmy Buffet concert was letting out? I thought I shared that story.... next break!
  7:44am
Meghan:

Ha! Jeff just called me..... Dead Milkmen- Taco Land!
  7:47am
Joshua K:

Hot Burrito #2 by Dinosaur Jr doesn't use the word burrito once in the lyrics

  8:02am
Meghan:

Yeah i don't know when I would be able to come up and help Chuck.... Holidays and all.... after the new year perhaps? Is that too late?
  8:05am
jeff p:

I remember seeing these guys play this song on some late night tv show like "Fridays" or something
  8:06am
Chuck:

I should have all the big stuff done by then, provided I don't get completely burned out... I've got an abstract wood piece in 5 sections, 2 of which are 8 feet long, among other things... Whew! Thanks for letting me know. I'll give you an update after the holidays...
  8:15am
Toby Dammit:

Hey don't forget "Sandwich of Love" by The Mentors...
  8:16am
jeff p:

falafel is a great song!
  8:16am
Meghan:

Awww Toby! I don't have it! damn! i was looking for more sandwich songs.....
  8:18am
Derek in DC:

I remember seeing the Tubes on SCTV, lip synching while eating big handfuls of rice.
  8:18am
Toby Dammit:

Not sure if that would float past under the censor bridge anyway!
  8:20am
Chuck:

Have you solved the Falfel binder problem, Meghan?
  8:21am
jeff p:

Oh, I'LL SAY there's a problem with the south....
  8:23am
Dave B:

Solid Potato Salad - by the Ross Sisters?

How the heck did I forget to request THAT. The video is the best!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mVpGmoES3w
  8:23am
Meghan:

The joys of internet radio is there is no censor issues... woohoo!

Yeah Chuck.... i solved the problem. I go down to Ibby's, who have the best falafel in the area!
  8:25am
Chuck:

That's cheating! But, hey, if it's good, it's good...
  8:28am
Chuck:

Do they have the cucumber sauce too?
  8:29am
Toby Dammit:

Well if you the have time, you can get that Mentors song down from You Tube. It's well...special.
"The Mentors - Sandwich of Love (You Axed For It!)"
  8:32am
Meghan:

Actually.... cutting songs out of show now.... running out of time... *sigh*
  8:33am
Dave B:
