Charlie/Mary, the websites at FMU are all jacked up and incredibly slow. Taking minutes to re-load. Hope that doesn't affect your online pledges.

99 & 1/2 won't do!

Doug and I were like trains passing in the night (almost literally).

And jeez Mary, didn't I hear you about 8 hours ago? A yeoman's effort!
Avatar 12:28pm Mary Wing:

Tower, I should know better than to favorite a track on Tony Coulter's playlist--I'll never find a copy of it, heh. But that Juilian's Treatment was excellent.

Question for the board: who is on backing vocals, Vanity or Appollonia?
Avatar 12:34pm Carmichael:

Appolonia Kotero. Song was originally meant for her solo album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm Brian Trauma:

John Oates!!
  12:34pm frenchee:

MS. Wing!

I'm pretty sure it's Wendy and Lisa.

Bouncing back & forth between this and Kamikaze. Groovy vs. grinding.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Doug Schulkind:

@Ike
Did you make some reference a few days ago to Rush Limbaugh promising to donate $25,000 to Nachum? Is that true, or did I completely misinterpret your comment?
Avatar 1:19pm Mary Wing:

The Mad Scene EP Blip is one of three prizes this hour; a mere $15 gets you in the running for it! Read more: www.midheaven.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Ike:

Doug, yes, believe it or not, that happened.

I rarely listen to JM, but I happened to tune in on Wed. morning at around 8:30. Rush actually sounded... nice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Uncle Michael:

Ok...I just gotta say that Billy Joel on theater organ was really good but Billy Joel in march time was freaking awesome.
Avatar 1:19pm Mary Wing:

Thanks again for your pledge, James!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm Ike:

(And when I say "rarely" I mean "pretty much NEVER, yak, needs way more klezmer" but Nachum in marathon mode can be entertaining.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm Doug Schulkind:

@Ike
Many years ago, Limbaugh made a sizable pledge and then never paid it. I wouldn't hold my breath.
Avatar 1:23pm Mary Wing:

Really, Doug? That's pretty shitty.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm Ike:

Well, Rush's final words this time were something like, "And this time, send me an invoice!" Hmm.
  1:26pm Tower:

This reminds me of LuLu's The Boat That I Row. I often play that 45 @ 33 rpm.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm Uncle Michael:

Why would Limbaugh be supportive of WFMU? How sure are you that someone else wasn't just punking the station?
Avatar 1:28pm Mary Wing:

Ernie Kovacs is prize number 2 this hour! Pledge $15 to be eligible to win it! Check it out: omnivorerecordings.com...

Thanks for the Percy!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:29pm Uncle Michael:

You know who does a rockin' "The Boat That I Row?" The fella what wrote it!
Avatar 1:31pm Mary Wing:

We've set a goal for this show; help us reach $1000 in the last half hour!
Avatar 1:35pm Lewis:

@unclemichael - I have really tried to like that fella that wrote it, but I keep coming up short... That said, I have not heard him do boat I row and I will give it another shot!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:36pm Ike:

I almost never take that crunky elevator -- don't want to get stuck, & walking up is good exercise.
Avatar 1:36pm Lewis:

@UM - I keep trying because I find that I *really* like other people who sing his songs... It is a conundrum.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm Uncle Michael:

@Lewis A lot of people share you view. I used to. It was certainly the orthodoxy to dismiss him. Then I found it impossible to dismiss the Bang sides and now I find it hard to dismiss most of the first half of his '70s stuff. I adore it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm Uncle Michael:

Is there bombast? Yes. Is he show biz? Yes. Did the Band invite him to the Last Waltz for a reason. Hell yes.
Avatar 1:40pm Lewis:

@UM - I will track down the Bang sides and it is possible that I have been listening to compilations that didn't do the early 70's stuff justice.
Thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Charlie's show is only two hours, so you have 20 minutes left to show your appreciation for the exquisite BUSY DOING NOTHING!
Avatar 1:41pm Lewis:

I have no problem with bombast... it can be lots of fun (see Tom Jones)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Uncle Michael:

@Lewis I don't take anyone else' taste personally so if it's not to yours, that's cool as cool can be. I recommend the Stones and Tap Root Manuscript albums.

And Tom Jones is the lord god. What's more, he has four testicles.
Avatar 1:43pm Lewis:

@UM - thanks for the recommendations!
Avatar 1:44pm Mary Wing:

Last prize for the show is the great compilation Si Para Usted: The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba Volume 2 which you can win if you pledge $15 or more to Charlie's show right now! More info here: www.waxingdeep.org...

Holey crikey! Charlie is now only $239 away from reaching the goal! Wow wow wow!
