  12:25pm Tower:

Max Frost and the Troopers had what I consider the most commonly available 45 on the Tower label, #419, Shape of Things to Come.
  12:27pm Doug S.:

Are you sure it's not pronounce EYE-gore, Charlie?

Freddie and the Dreamers show up most often for me, Tower.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm charlie:

Eeeee! You're probably correct, Doug! (He's been too polite to correct me)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30pm charlie:

Thank you, production assistant :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30pm charlie:

Hi there, Gary!
  12:30pm ndbob:

agreed Gary
  12:31pm Doug S.:

Charlie, my unpaid intern is named Abby. Abby Normal.
  12:32pm Gary Mitchell:

nice to have a normal intern
  12:35pm Artie:

I don't feel intrinsically alone at all, I've got the Active Playlist.
  12:36pm Gary Mitchell:

quite a polemic, Annette!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm charlie:

Well, Artie, this song precedes the day of the accu-playlist! And on-line political activism. Although perhaps it presages the occupy movement... ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm charlie:

The rich do not make profit
to empty their pockets
to the poor.
It doesn't pay a free market
to have a socio-eco
conscience unless
it is embarassed
or penalized into it.

"Free Your Mind" - in greater detail.

"You did not create even the smallest microscopic fragment of the materials out of which your opinion is made."
  12:45pm Carmichael:

I'm still completely undecided. It could take weeks for me to figure it all out. Weeks, I tell ya!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm charlie:

free your mind and your nervous system will follow, @mark?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm charlie:

hi carmichael!
every segue is indecision time!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm charlie:

followed by decision
  12:47pm northguineahills:

ah, playing the hits today!
  12:49pm Gary Mitchell:

my second favorite version
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm charlie:

yes, n.g.h. all hits all the time, especially the 13-minute annette peacock track ;)
  12:51pm listener james from westwood:

everything from "you will never understand" on should be tattooed on the inside of romney's eyelids.
  12:55pm Tower:

... and if I am elected, I promise the formation of a new party, a third party, the Wild Party! Alice Cooper, Elected
  12:56pm Matt from Springfield:

Did I make it? Yes, just now!
Afternoon charlie and fans!
  12:59pm listener james from westwood:

howdy matt! the delegation from wisconsin has bratwursts or veggie curry, depending on yer preference.
  12:59pm ~L:

How much is the monthly food stamp budget for a family of one?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm charlie:

Hi there Matt, ~L -- dunno offhand.
  1:00pm Matt from Springfield:

I'll vote for Gracie, graciously!!
Howdy LJFW, and thanks! Here's some hot mustard and sauerkraut to go with the wursts.
  1:02pm listener james from westwood:

was hoping for this marx bros cut, and charlie does not disappoint.
  1:02pm Matt from Springfield:

In 2005, the (pretty low) VA food stamp budget for one was $1.80 a day--I did that as part of a sociology course. So try eating on $2 per day and you'll get the idea.
  1:02pm Michael:

Ha charlie ! Good un.
  1:03pm listener james from westwood:

one of my best days at work was when i went dressed as groucho & had carte blanche to be a wiseass all day. the liberating power of greasepaint.
  1:04pm listener james from westwood:

"his excellency's car!" not to be confused with the "send for goebbels!" chorus in springtime for hitler.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:05pm charlie:

Hiya Michael!
  1:11pm Matt from Springfield:

P. Wilshire, music of the Jim Price minute!
  1:13pm ~L:

It might be 21 to 29 food stamp dollars a week, and it can only be spent in grocery stores, so you have to do all your own cooking. Doing all your own cooking, now, that is a challenge everyone should try!
  1:15pm kootchmon:

Papoon for President...Not Responsible..Not Insane...
  1:17pm frenchee:

I had to whip off the headphones for a bit there, I was laughing too much at Groucho and the co-workers were looking askance. AUS, Herr Reagan!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm charlie:

Heya, Mr. Kootch!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:19pm charlie:

From the country that destroys itself and dictates to us the "way of life,"
Reagan comes bringing weapons and death,
and when he hears peace, he sees red.
He says as president of the U.S.A.,
"Nuclear war? Yes please, there and there."
Whether Poland, the Middle East, or Nicaragua,
he wants the final victory, that's perfectly clear.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:20pm charlie:

Heya, Frenchee! Co-workers are often surprised to see other co-workers rolling around on the floor laughing!
  1:20pm Matt from Springfield:

"In the words of the artist Joseph Beuys 'If you get cut you'd better bandage the knife.' "

Didn't know Joseph Beuys released recordings.
  1:21pm frenchee:

YUP. But they're kinda used to it.
  1:25pm Gary Mitchell:

liked the way they put the accent on the second syllable of Navajo
  1:25pm listener james from westwood:

give the funky president some!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:26pm charlie:

na-VA-ho
That song was featured strategically in the very funny film, Election, starring Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon
  1:26pm Michael:

Navajo Joe was recently on one of the movie channels oddly enough. And this would be a nice ticket Brown/Morricone.
  1:27pm ndbob:

quite a movie Charlie
  1:30pm don:

charlie for president!
  1:30pm Gary Mitchell:

give the bass player some
  1:31pm listener james from westwood:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm charlie:

Hi Don! You can be secretary of the fence!
