Ei kesta, glenn! :)

11:51am listener james from westwood:

never actually learned bridge. but as an 8-year-old i somehow was able to learn canasta. completely forget how to play now. i miss that crazy game.

11:51am glenn:

oh, and who's the dummy, charlie, he asks, knowing full well that question could come back to bite him in the ass.

11:52am listener james from westwood:

but i do know how to play poker, and i am ALL IN on gtdr. good afternoon charlie and howdy all you young lovers.

11:52am listener james from westwood:

@glenn: 70s sitcoms clearly established lamont sanford as the dummy.

11:53am ndbob:

11:53am glenn:

oh right. i'd forgotten about lamont..

11:55am Charlie:

11:56am listener james from westwood:

mmmm ... chocolate on toast ....

11:57am Katya Oddio:

Fun valentine, Kat! Wish I could come by the desks of you all and leave valentines and candies.

11:58am kat330:

Aw. Katya, you just did so with your words!

11:58am glenn:

hah. i read candies as candLes, and i was wondering why katya wanted to leave me one.

12:00pm kat330:

My morning was spent almost entirely e-filing our fed and state taxes... whew, glad that online marathon is over.

12:00pm Katya Oddio:

Here are some audio valentines!

12:04pm kat330:

Wow, thanks, Katya! Should be great music to dine by tonight! :)

12:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Laura!!

12:05pm Katya Oddio:

Are you "lookin', lookin', lookin' for a good time"?

12:05pm david geffen:

oh PERFECT

12:06pm fleep:

Laura Nyro, sweet angel. I so miss her. Hey everyone.

12:06pm glenn:

david geffen. what a rascal.

12:07pm kat330:

Wonder if the spelling of Luckie is significant?

12:08pm kat330:

Love what you've done with your avatar, fleep.

12:09pm other eddie:

where's the uke?

12:10pm Charlie:

it's in there somewhere, eddie!
hello to fleep, a tuna with good taste

12:10pm glenn:

i see fleep is also down with the incredible mr. limpet.

12:11pm kat330:

Sorry, Charlie (heh). I believe that's porpoise / dolphin, yes?

12:12pm S.A. from S.F.:

Hi, Dizzy Booing Nada!

12:12pm ndbob:

Right Kat

12:13pm fleep:

@kat330 I like your heart of the day, too. Hey Charlie, I have your podcasts on a flash drive in the fleepmobile, first time listening live.

12:13pm kat330:

@fleep: Philo and I need to find a clever pic of a marlin to use as a logo for our MarLin "co-productions." :)

12:13pm Tower:

I'm surprised Just Love wasn't a Strawbs single. It's a good one.

12:17pm fleep:

Marlin Brando objectiface.com...

12:19pm Charlie:

Hi, Tower, and yes!
Honored to be in the Fleepmobile!

12:20pm S.A. from S.F.:

You're also in The Night Kitchen.

12:20pm kat330:

Hahahahaha, fleep! :)

12:22pm Charlie:

catching up, hi to:
vicki, glenn, michael, kat, james, bob, katya, doug, fleep, eddie, s.a., and tower!

12:22pm don:

happy day, all !

12:24pm Charlie:

howdy don!

12:24pm other eddie:

jeez, had to throw open the window to let the boys' feedback out.

12:26pm glenn:

nice reverb, charlie. is that a space echo?

12:26pm Katya Oddio:

❤❤❤

12:27pm kat330:

It has to be done: So no one noticed or is everyone ignoring the bird flipping by the red-faced heart on the right of the top pic?

12:28pm Katya Oddio:

Thus the sheepish expression?

12:29pm kat330:

@Katya: Nice to see you changed for the party! And yep, must be.

12:30pm Charlie:

reverb just naturally surrounds me, glenn. that's how i sound in person!

12:30pm kat330:

Longet? Wasn't she indicted for murder?

12:31pm ndbob:

She was convicted of manslaughter for killing her bf - the pro skier Spider Sabitch

12:33pm kat330:

I thought as much. What's the date on that Volume All-Star, Charlie? If after that mess, can't imagine why she'd want to be anyone's "Claudine Longet." ;)

12:35pm kat330:

At any speed, can't wreck Connie's cords.

12:35pm Katya Oddio:

Poor Connie. How disrespectful to an already sympathetic character

12:38pm Otis P. Driftwood:

Brilliant Connie!

12:40pm Katya Oddio:

A brilliant choice to lay under Barbara Barg, though!

12:42pm Charlie:

volume all star: 1998

12:42pm Parq:

Anybody else find that the portmanteau Christmas movie "Love Actually" nearly killed this Troggs classic for them?

12:46pm other eddie:

what a sweet rsm track! i might just favorite this

12:47pm kat330:

Thanks, Charlie. Hm, guess it's also then who would *want* her to be his "Claudine Longet"?

12:50pm Matt from Springfield:

Hi Charlie! Hi everyone!
WOW, Inflatable Boy Clams! I fortunately have all 5 of their tracks, but GOTTA go back for "Where The Boys Are" @33!!!!

12:52pm ndbob:

Heya Matt!

12:53pm Charlie:

Hi there, Matt!

12:53pm kat330:

Hey, Matt! Check my link back up at 11:49! :)

12:54pm S.A. from S.F.:

Herro, Matt.

12:54pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey Bob! Hey SA! Hey kat, and thanks!

12:55pm listener james from westwood:

loving the love show!

12:55pm kat330:

A randy Randy! :)

12:55pm S.A. from S.F.:

You can leave your hat on...

12:56pm Matt from Springfield:

Ooooh, funky clavinet era Etta! Getting into Millie territory here!

12:57pm S.A. from S.F.:

...and by that, I mean jimmy hat!

1:00pm Charlie:

lol, S.A.

1:01pm Katya Oddio:

Thanks for the tip on the Etta track. Not on any Etta here.

1:02pm kat330:

I quite like Randy's own version as well.

1:03pm S.A. from S.F.:

Wouldn't mind hearing some Magic Numbers up in this "love theme".

1:03pm listener james from westwood:

i think this current artist needs a laxative.

1:03pm Matt from Springfield:

"Phigg-Newtons"!! Incorrect gloriness! Avant-retard! :)

1:03pm kat330:

Ooooh, Beefheart's "Her Eyes" ("A Blue Million Miles") would be sweet (after taring in her eyes ;).

1:04pm Katya Oddio:

Reminds me of the Circle Jerks' version of "Golden Shower Of Hits (Jerks On 45)"

1:08pm Charlie:

good call, kat330!

1:08pm Matt from Springfield:

This 5th Dimension is new to me.

1:08pm fleep:

How 'bout "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely" by Friends of Distinction

1:12pm Doug Schulkind:

Nothing buzzing on this end but your wildly oscillating radio love.

1:14pm kat330:

Happy Valentine's Day to you and Jessie, Doug!

oivas.com...

1:15pm Matt from Springfield:

Don't stop the buzzing! I'll be disappointed if I don't hear reverb on ya!

1:16pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks kat330! Tomorrow is Jessie's birthday, so a double-wollop dollop of love around these parts.

1:16pm S.A. from S.F.:

It's an opportunity to play The BUZZcocks and The Vibrators.

1:17pm Charlie:

It must be ear fatigue. Or my imagination.
Happy birthday to Jessie, Doug!

1:17pm kat330:

Happy early birthday to Jessie!

1:18pm Holly in NC:

Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie & all!
@Doug - wow! That's a lotta love - happy almost-birthday to Jessie

1:19pm ndbob:

Heya Holly! - and Happy Birthday to Jessie!

1:19pm S.A. from S.F.:

That reminds me -- Tim Buckley would have been 66 today.

1:20pm Matt from Springfield:

Wow, what year is this Chandra, early 80s?

1:21pm Charlie:

Matt, I first heard that 5thD song on Gary Mitchell's show on Top Shelf Oldies (topshelfoldies.com), then bought the 45 from him (Gary Levine) at a WFMU record fair!

1:21pm Matt from Springfield:

Lovey Dovey Double Dollops in mid-Feb! Happy Valentine's (part 1) today to Jessie, and and Happy Birthday (part 2) tomorrow!

1:22pm Uncle Michael:

Hello drumheads.

1:22pm Matt from Springfield:

@Charlie: Marvelous affairs, those Record Fairs! I gotta make it up there for one of them!

1:23pm Matt from Springfield:

Happy Howdy, UM!

1:23pm S.A. from S.F.:

Uncle Michael! I just finished chopping up Hinky Dinky Saturday Nights into half-hour chunks for easy listening at work.

1:25pm Uncle Michael:

Hi Matt...on lunch break from day two of three days of all-day training.

1:25pm glenn:

in honour of the st. valentine's day massacre. - news.nationalpost.com...

1:26pm Uncle Michael:

Hi S.A. That's interesting....maybe I should think about breaking it up at my end.

1:26pm Charlie:

Welcome, U.M.!

1:26pm kat330:

@S.A. from S.F.: Happy Birthday, Tim (RIP). What a talent.

1:27pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks for having me, Charlie.

1:28pm Uncle Michael:

Actually, you mentioned the Saturday nights and there might not be any more of those so I think I'll leave them be.

1:29pm Uncle Michael:

I'm humbled by your interest, S.A.

1:29pm Matt from Springfield:

GO 365 Days Project!

1:30pm S.A. from S.F.:

@U.M. - Well, it wouldn't be a problem if I had a pod of some sort that could remember where I stopped it -- but I have a CD boombox with a Chinese mp3 decoder. So, basically, it's just me.

1:31pm listener james from westwood:

<----ll cool ljfw (lol)

1:31pm Uncle Michael:

I knew those Chinese mp3 files were going to give people fits.

1:33pm Matt from Springfield:

LL JFW = Cool! :)

1:35pm kat330:

Someday I'll get the courage to post to my blog my x-rated lyrics for "Randy Rappin' Raunch."

1:37pm fleep:

L.L. Cool J's house is visible from our front steps, up on a hillside. When he has a party, we can see the paparazzi flashes.

1:37pm kat330:

Charlie, I think there's a "ni" syllable missing in the artist?

1:39pm ndbob:

great song here!.. as is petula's original

1:40pm kat330:

[A member of the Knights Who Say "Ni."]

1:40pm Charlie:

I've got Pet singing it in French, too! Love all versions of this one.

1:40pm S.A. from S.F.:

Hey fleep -- don't you wish for a tear gas launcher?

1:42pm listener james from westwood:

@fleep, i read that as paparazzi flashers. that too is awesome.

1:43pm Uncle Michael:

Heading back to training... Thanks for the Interlude, Charlie. Carry on, everyone.

1:44pm S.A. from S.F.:

The thing I like about Charlie is, he back-announces "old school" -- first songs first.

Uh oh, love has come to town.

1:44pm fleep:

@S.A. it's out of range, but the party music sounds like it's two doors up - our house and fence act as resonators.

1:45pm Matt from Springfield:

Interlude on, UM--INTRAlude on, if you can! ;)

1:46pm Parq:

Be 'me up

1:47pm Matt F:

Hi Charlie! Greetings from Studio C.

1:48pm kat330:

@Matt F: Someone's *really* getting lei-ed.

1:48pm Matt from Springfield:

Ahead-of-time greetings to you, Fiveash!

1:49pm kat330:

I was always typing it "Matt 5," but I guess Matt F is preferred.

1:50pm Charlie:

Hi, Matt Fiveash, in Studio C!
Here's the playlist for Matt's show, folks, which will begin right after this show:
www.wfmu.org...
so y'all stay tuned now, hear?

1:50pm kat330:

You know me, any chance I can get to use a number. :)

1:51pm Matt F:

Matt 5 will do fine. Call me whatever you want (within reason).

1:52pm jan:

Late again-listening to the last half hour. What? No tribute to the Dave Clark Five? Bassist Dave Huxley died. Seems as if weekly some mid century entertainer checks out.

1:53pm Charlie:

It's our age, Jan (and Hi).
I already played the Troggs in honor of the recently departed Reg Presley...

1:55pm kat330:

Thank you muchly for your audio valentine, Charlie!

I'll be listening to the continuing fine tuneage sans keyboard, so have a great day everyone!

1:56pm Matt from Springfield:

Woooooo! HRH Nat King Cole!

1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!

1:57pm Katya Oddio:

Every time you play that June Foray segment, the United Airlines Advertisement where the wives beg to be taken along pops into the noggin. "Fly the Friendly Skies - Take Me Along"
youtu.be...

1:57pm Matt from Springfield:

A great Valentine's Day to you, kat!
Thanks Charlie!

1:57pm S.A. from S.F.:

Saving the best for last.

1:59pm Charlie:

You've been a great crowd! Thanks for joining me. Stay tuned for our next act here on Give the Drummer Radio (www.wfmu.org...)! See you next week.

1:59pm Katya Oddio:

Fingers crossed and hoping this lovely classic pop line does not lead to "Wives and Lovers"

1:59pm fleep:

Episode gets a star, thanks for the tunes Charlie

2:00pm Katya Oddio:

Fun show, Charlie! Happy Valentine's Day!
