A good morning shout-out to those already here, and to those about to "rock"!

Igneous with anticipation.

Jim Henson, from 1966!

Hi, Charlie, Matt, Artie, Carm and ndbob!

You can see a video of this Henson/Ray Scott collaboration here: www.youtube.com...
  12:07pm kat330:

and Michael!
  12:08pm Matt from Springfield:

I love the freaky visuals he did on the Tonight show in '74.
And Raymond Scott! Didn't know he did the music, makes sense. Particularly for back in '66.
  12:08pm Matt from Springfield:

Thanks charlie! That's the video I first saw this on.
  12:10pm Doug S.:

Charlie rocks it metamorphically!
  12:10pm still b/p:

The flow is tooootally pyroclastic yet coooool.
  12:13pm Matt from Springfield:

Hello kat!
Michael, Doug, b/p, Artie, Carm, NDbob, charlie as well!
  12:13pm Carmichael:

I think this is not the first edition of this First Edition song. I have 3 different versions, each a bit more psychedelic than the last.
  12:14pm kat330:

Just dropped in to see what condition the playlist is in. Well and good!
  12:19pm still b/p:

I picked the wrong day to give up purple microdot.
  12:22pm listener james from westwood:

in a bit late but happy to be here. good thursday all ye people doing nothing!
  12:24pm kat330:

What's on my mind? I'm all atwitter to hear you sing that Sinatra tune.
  12:26pm Laura L:

Sometimes the mind turns to pink boots, but Charlie's not putting them on!
  12:27pm Gary Mitchell:

this ska makes me wanna throw on some baggy trousers
  12:27pm kat330:

So he says, but there's no video proof, Laura.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm charlie:

New show title: "Pink boots and purple microdot"
  12:27pm listener james from westwood:

"ghost town" improves every day on which it is played.
  12:31pm kat330:

Trying to visualize fluorescent grey -- not so easy. Now pink and purple, a snap.

Here, have a sugar cube...
  12:33pm Carmichael:

Aah, we're rapidly moving toward Caravan's "In the Land of Grey and Pink."
  12:34pm ndbob:

Hi Gary!
  12:36pm still b/p:

Of course, you could check out Fifty Shades for Gray for (reported) intensity of a...different hue and stripe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm charlie:

Hello all newcomers...
hmmm, not a bad idea, Carmichael...
  12:37pm northguineahills:

So, Flourescent Grey remixed old electronic pieces for that album?
  12:38pm Michael:

  12:40pm kat330:

Wow, man, haven't heard this in a caterpillar's age.
  12:41pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Ack! I am so involved in writing this cheese article, I lost track of time. IT'S CHARLIE TIME! Here I am. Del Formaggio checking in, just in time for a mic break and the Wichita Lineman!
  12:42pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Oh no, I missed "Psyko Billy"! Charlie, you missed, by a few years, knowing a local Brattleboro character named "Psycho Billy". He was a hoot. He passed away a few years ago.
  12:43pm kat330:

Fornaggio, why's it always cheese with you? :)
  12:43pm kat330:

ForMaggio, rather.
  12:43pm holland oats:

blessed are the cheesemakers
  12:44pm kat330:

Indeed.
  12:44pm Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie & folks. It's amazing how much clearer the stream is over basecamp. I know it has been said before.
Wendy, chomping on some slightly crystalised mature Gouda. Yum.
  12:47pm Brian in UK:

Oh Wendy, what cheese would you put on a pizza? Bear in mind our oven is not a red hot pizza job so mozzarella does not work very well.
  12:49pm kat330:

Right on, Carm!
  12:50pm northguineahills:

Flourescent Grey was the last release of my friend, Wai's label, Isolate Recs, before he passed away in 2006.("Lying on the Floor Mingling w/ God in a Tijuana Motel Room Next Door to a Veterinay Supply Store")
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm charlie:

Psycho Billy lives on on Busy Doing Nothing...
  12:51pm Carmichael:

Excellent, Charlie! Haven't heard this version before.
  12:52pm Geordie:

"Smoke it till we bleed..."

Thank you Charlie.
  12:52pm kat330:

Here it is!!
  12:53pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Brian: fresh mozz, instead of rubbery "pizza" mozz. It has a much higher moisture content and will melt better. Put in underneath the sauce, too.
  12:53pm Alf from Upstate:

Amanda, your voice has changed!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm charlie:

oh, ngh, sorry about your friend... that was an interesting release/label.
  12:53pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Hey, Charlie is singing!
  12:53pm Gary Mitchell:

sign him up!
  12:54pm kat330:

All I can see are pink boots.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:54pm charlie:

everyone sings on the give the drummer radio stream!
  12:54pm don:

go for it, charlie!
  12:54pm listener james from westwood:

gotta get doug singing along tomorrow for a drummer some trifecta!
  12:54pm pseu:

YAY!!!
  12:54pm kat330:

Does Doug S. sing on air? Don't believe I've heard him yet.
  12:55pm Michael:

Ha! Super chazaloo!
  12:55pm kat330:

Yeah, LJfW.
@Charlie: [loud clapping]
  12:56pm Doug S.:

Oh how right you are, kat330! Maybe WFMU should start up a 24-hour Hoof 'n' Mouth Sinfonia stream. Nothing but DJs singing the hits and misses.
  12:56pm kat330:

I'm forever tilting at the windmills in my mind.
  12:57pm Brian in UK:

Thanks Wendy, under the sauce, like it.

Charlie, the photo looks a bit Italian, de Sica type.
  12:57pm Holly in NC:

Hi Charlie & everyone! Can't stay, will catch up via archives. Just wanted to thank you for the Raymond Scott/Jim Henson. To continue the muppet theme, y'all might want to check Tito Puente making Oscar the Grouch dance on Sesame Street (Tito passed 12 yea ago today) http://goo.gl/k8IFf :-)
  12:57pm kat330:

Sounds good to me, Doug! :)
  1:00pm Holly in NC:

@Wendy - You would adore, local (to me) Chapel Hill Creamery makes amazing fresh mozz from their pasture-raised grass fed cows, right now the milk is so rich that the mozz is pale yellow & basically tastes like butter. To die for. And I probably will, given how much I've been eating ;-)
  1:01pm kat330:

And I appreciate you didn't make us wait until near the end to hear you sing your piece, Charlie. Situated nicely smack dab in the middle.
  1:02pm still b/p:

My mind is sticky because it's made of taffy and string.
  1:03pm Carmichael:

Off to a meeting. Thanks for the music, Charlie! See you later, everyone.
  1:05pm kat330:

Moi (bye!), Carm!

  1:28pm ndbob:

Thanks Kat!
  1:30pm northguineahills:

that's full of frizzawesomeness Kat330!
  1:30pm kat330:

De nada. :) Always my first wave when surfing each morn, APOD is.
  1:31pm Holly in NC:

@kat330 - re singing: several marathons ago, Doug S did a stunning rendition of the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Theme de YoYo , which is available over on the blog (sorry I don't have time to get exact link) :-)
  1:33pm Holly in NC:

@Kat330 - me also (APOD) - addicted!
  1:34pm Matt from Springfield:

Missed Vashti Bunyan! Lovely singer, I'd like to walk around in her mind. And my own. And several other minds as well...

Also got to go back for the charlie singalong. I cast my vote for a 24/7 Hoof & Mouth stream!
  1:34pm kat330:

Cool, Holly, and thanks! I'll find it I'm sure. Do you have any close by good night sky venues? Close to mountains, I'm thinking?
  1:34pm still b/p:

Nun-Plus - Oregon.
  1:38pm kat330:

Ear piercing from time to time this -- for my ears anyway.
  1:39pm kat330:

Here's that DS link: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2007/03/hm/27_doug.mp4
  1:40pm Holly in NC:

@kat330: No, I'm not in the gorgeous mountainous area of NC - that's lucky Annie! My neighborhood park & the UNC planetarium are the best I can usually do ;-)

I could imagine Marc Almond singing this, which might mean that he did
  1:44pm Holly in NC:

I just noticed I missed Coyle & Sharpe, drat. The On the Loose cd in particular, is beyond brilliant. Something to look forward to - thanks, Charlie!
  1:45pm Matt from Springfield:

...and there we go! Title track of this show!
An enduring classic of the Bonzo Dog Band.
  1:45pm kat330:

@Brian: Brilliant! [Because it isn't] So do you have a 'scope? Sounds truly wonderful. Around here, even if everyone turned the lights out, seems we always have cloud coverage whenever a special sky sight, meteor shower, etc.
  1:52pm paula pc:

Kim Fowley NEVER disappoints --- he is certainly a Mind Master. Great show, Charlie!
  1:52pm Michael:

Roger chaz - we have liftoff!
  1:54pm kat330:

Sweet!
  1:56pm northguineahills:

wow, Johnny w/ Glen!
  1:57pm still b/p:

Glen played guitar on the original version of First Edition's Just Dropped In. There are a few references and connections that make Glen a presence in the diagram of the day.
  1:57pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
  1:58pm Gary Mitchell:

Hard to believe this one made it through customs.
  1:58pm Matt from Springfield:

Wow, thanks for pointing that out still b/p!
That was a duet for Johnny and Glen.
  1:59pm kat330:

Yeah, s b/P, I was thinking the same thing, Wichita Lineman and all. Which led me to think about the current canyons of Glen's broken mind.... but the sweet sounds brought me out of that dark place.
@Charlie: Find tunes for thought today -- thank you!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm charlie:

thanks for that connection, still b/p!
