Listener comments!

  6:03am
Chuck:

Morning! Must've been hard editing this theme to fit 3 hours, eh?
  6:04am
Meghan:

It was actually better this week... Last week was a lot harder!
  6:07am
Chuck:

I still have to listen to last weeks show... Hard to find time to be strapped to the computer these days...
  6:12am
Chuck:

I was just looking at last weeks playlist... Is it the same Crispin Glover that played Mr. McFly in the "Back to the Future" film series in set 4?
  6:13am
Meghan:

Ha! Yep!
  6:15am
Chuck:

Wow! Didn't know he did any recording... I'll definately have to take the time to listen tonight...
  6:16am
Meghan:

it's not your "regular" type of music.... but i have a lot of memories attached to that album
  6:21am
Chuck:

Glad to see The Damned made the cut in that set as well... Should be cool!
  6:22am
Meghan:

A request!
  6:22am
Chuck:

From?
  6:24am
Meghan:

Facebook fan page.... Rory from Scotland
  6:27am
Chuck:

Good! Multinational theme park, hehe... Still can't get on Facebook cuz of my Linux OS... I'll have to complain to them about that...
  6:28am
Dave B:

Greetings! That first set was perfectly nostalgic. I almost didn't want to wake..

Coffee's ready!
  6:29am
Chuck:

Morning Dave!
  6:29am
Meghan:

Morning Dave! I didn't want to leave my bed either.... so warm and comfy....
  6:31am
Chuck:

At least it's a little warmer out today... If you can consider 23 degrees warm...
  6:32am
Dave B:

and try as I did, I couldn't get that Bollocks Brothers track in time. My friend with all the vinyl went to see War last night,
  6:32am
pauldepiperssoninberlinski:

im coming to new york on the 30th of jan from berlin. i think im gonna pay a visit to 'fmu in jersey city. cant wait. see you soon.
  6:33am
Meghan:

Meh, it happens!
  6:33am
Meghan:

Oh fun! You'll have a blast Paul!
  6:34am
Dave B:

23? brrrrrrrr
  6:35am
Chuck:

Better than 11 which it was a couple of days ago when I got up, Dave! Ha!
  6:37am
pauldepiperssonnewyorkme:

i know. its been 7 years since i was last there. would love to hear
the kills - what new york used to be
but its all good.;)
  6:39am
Dave B:

i suppose its all relative... At least NYC doesn't smell so bad in the winter.
  6:41am
Chuck:

Ah, now I know I'm not the only one that finds NYC offensive to the nose...
  6:44am
Chuck:

It's one of the reasons I live up in the woods of the Mid-Hudson valley... The air is always clean up here...
  6:45am
Listener zero:

I've just been in New York's Capital District for about three weeks over the holidays, and I must say that people are very, very friendly there -- in a sincere, generous way, maybe lacking the more formal aspects of politeness and such but always willing to extend a hand.
  6:45am
Meghan:

Oh there are funk clouds up there as well.... cow pastures....
  6:46am
Dave B:

no doubt Chuck. I plan to escape to Lake George next week for a dose of cold mountain air...

Just try to imagine for a moment the olfactory sensations that must have permeated the City I call home a century ago
  6:48am
Meghan:

Ohhh yeah.... just pouring their waste on the streets out the windows... yummy. Welcome to America immigrants!
  6:48am
Chuck:

Ha! I'd rather not, Dave! The odor must have been horrendous!
  6:50am
Chuck:

Bad enough to make your eyes tear up, I'll bet!
  6:51am
Dave B:

I think that's why the men wore such bush moustaches. They'd slick em up with camphor oils and such. Like a personal Glade Plug In air freshener!
  6:52am
Dave B:

and bush = bushy.... (still cafinating)
  6:54am
Chuck:

Oh, and don't forget that people didn't bathe very frequently then... Made it even more "interesting"... hehe...
  6:55am
Chuck:

Yay! Love Buck! One of my favorite country artists...
  6:55am
Dave B:

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!
  6:56am
Andy in Berlin:

Hi Meghan! I'm probably too late to weigh in on this one but are you playing "I'm a Native New Yorker" by Odyssey in the cheese section? Totally hateful, but cheesy to the max.
  6:58am
Parq:

Fine with me. I like NYC much better without jerks like that in it.
  6:59am
Andy in Berlin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9M6gXIqlfI&feature=PlayList&p=B622624084EFD4E6&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=97

Every bit as horrifying as I remember.
  7:00am
Dave B:

"Someday a real rain will come, and wash all the scum off the streets" Travis Bickle
  7:01am
Meghan:

Oh Andy I had it too! I got rid of it! Damn!
  7:03am
Parq:

I am one of those few NYers who actually likes it here. Also, I liked it better when it was more like NY and less like a big mall. My formerly funky nabe now has every chain store imaginable and a Starbucks on every corner. That's exactly what I left Paramus to get away from.

Hi Miss Meg! So glad I made it in time for le fromage.
  7:05am
Meghan:

Ha! Exactly! I was worried you would miss the fromage!
  7:06am
Andy in Berlin:

I gave you the link above, you could just put it back in. That's the masochist in me talking.
  7:07am
Dave B:

I'm on the same page Parq.
  7:12am
Chuck:

Whew, the schmaltz factor just went off the scale! Oh, Frankie! hehe...
  7:13am
Dave B:

Hey Meghan, just stumbled on this via BoingBoing. Almost like a theme infographic:

http://www.fleshmap.com/listen/music.html

Quote: What do we sing about, when we sing about the body? The chart below, based on a sample of thousands songs, tells the story. The size of a circle corresponds to how often that part is mentioned in each genre. Click on a genre name to see a close-up that shows exactly what words were used.
  7:15am
Dave B:

The body parts used in the Hip Hop genre is pretty obvious
  7:18am
Dave B:

DON'T HASSLE THE HOFF!
  7:20am
Andy in Berlin:

PAINTWORK by the Fall!! (and also by Barbara Manning)
  7:20am
Chuck:

"If I Were an Artist" by Johnny Burnette, Meghan...
  7:22am
Parq:

What's that early T.Heads song with the lyric "You can't see it 'til it's finished"?
  7:22am
Chuck:

Oh, and "She's an Artist" by the Bees...
  7:22am
Dave B:

Meghan - what was the missing track? I'll release the search hounds...
  7:24am
Meghan:

It's Gogi Grant- Down Here on the Ground. It's a Lalo Schiffrin cover. it's on Pete Records, which is a very small label
  7:25am
Dave B:

@Parq - I think that's "Stay Hungry" which is apropos for the starving artist.
  7:28am
Dave B:

@parq and myself... I stand corrected... That line is from "Artists Only"
  7:29am
Meghan:

ha! nice correction Dave....
  7:30am
Dave B:

whew!

even MORE apropos for next week!
  7:33am
Rael:

It's a long shot, but do you have "Back in NYC" by Genesis from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway?
  7:34am
Meghan:

Hey Rael! I don't.... I find Genesis songs REALLY long.... which is unfortunate. I Those are the first to go when i am trying to find time.... it's sad. Maybe I'll do a theme of LONG songs one day!
  7:35am
Glenn L:

I see faces and traces of home................
  7:36am
Dave B:

Jeff Buckley did a pretty good acoustic cover of Back In NYC...
  7:38am
Dave B:

Meghan - there's a few versions of "Down Here On The Ground" over at the Performing Arts Library. I'll swing by tomorrow and see what's what.
  7:39am
Charcutero:

Malaysian Beef Jerky Store in Chinatown FTW
  7:41am
Rael:

Yes, long songs indeed.
I'll have to look for that Jeff Buckley version.
  7:41am
Meghan:

ohhhh i love the Vietnamese sandwich shop that sells videos and other randomness
  7:41am
Dave B:

the Takoyaki joint on East 9th Street...

And for Russian, I find Uncle Vanya "pretty" good. Not overly opulent, which some of the Russian joints in Hells Kitchen try to be..
  7:41am
Andy in Berlin:

Are you playing that Laurie Anderson single, "New York Social Life"?
  7:43am
Meghan:

Hmmmm i'll have to try it out.... I could always go down to Brighton Beach. There is a Russian Venue down there that is supposed to be amazing.

No Andy, I am striking out with your songs!
  7:45am
Dave B:

@Rael - It's on an album called something like "Sketches for my Sweetheart the drunk"

SAXAMAPHONES!
  7:46am
Rael:

Thanks Dave B
  7:47am
Andy in Berlin:

If you're playing Avenue B, how about Belle of Avenue A by the Fugs? Or Slum Goddess of the Lower East Side.
  7:48am
PKNY:

Just got in work and looked at the playlist, I missed my suggestions! But that's what the stream archive is for...looking forward to the rest of the show!
  7:49am
Meghan:

ahhh yes, that is what the archives are for!
  7:53am
Chuck:

Ha! I remember when I first brought Le Tigre into work... Another "You're sooo not going home with this CD!" incident...
  7:54am
Meghan:

ha! It was damn good! But you wanted to take my !!! one....
  7:55am
Chuck:

But of course! And thank you for that as well!
  7:58am
jeff p:

Dave B:

  8:02am

  8:04am
Meghan:

  8:12am
Charcutero:

Ahhh one of the best dylan tunes imho.
  8:23am
Chuck:

Whoa! Lost you there for a few minutes... My player seized on me...
  8:39am
Dave B:

Ah, the Last Poets... I used to hang posters back in the late 80's for Celluloid Records... Brings back memories!
