Listener comments!
9:05am : bring on the monsters9:07am : Google is telling me its quatermass...never heard of that one9:08am : Thanks, Bob. Never heard this before.9:09am : same series I think as 10,000,000 Miles to Earth or whatever the name was9:09am : I wouldn't object to playing an additional track or 2 from this over the next couple of shows, Bob.9:11am : 'Quatermass and the Pit', both the BBC TV special from 1958 and the film from '67 are excellent science fiction story telling. The other Quatermass productions are also good. Nigel Kneale was great.9:15am : and we are ALL Martians9:17am : Maybe one of the better Becker & Fagan early works.9:18am : Steely Dan and Lewis Carroll, too surreal.9:31am : Love "IF I". A great song improved by Ko and the Knockouts.9:33am : Here's the one I mean, started as Quatermass and the Pit, got relabeled. Brilliant film. We ARE Martians. www.imdb.com...9:36am : Damn straight fvh; makes me wonder what the other (?) Quatermass stuff is like. - Brits??...9:46am : President Kennedy sounds a lot like Yeh Yeh.9:50am : Just saw your comment. D'oh!9:52am : Any idea why the called it President Kennedy?10:01am : because in the end it was a collaboration ?10:02am : I am listening in the future10:06am : it tore the heart out of america10:09am : Sweeet!10:11am : Ordinarily I'd be happily listening on my iPhone while lying in bed, early in a So Cal Saturday morning. Unfortunately the slick-looking new version of the WFMU app that just debuted has the most hiccup-y playback, especially for archived shows. It also doesn't let me see playlists for archived shows. This last feature is a must for my enjoyment of the Brainen experience. Crumbs.10:13am : My brain she is a-nappin' / but me toez dey is a-tappin'10:16am : Good Morning!
Woof!10:20am : who does the wfmu app ? bummer that it's flakey. the kenzomatic 5000 has been working like a charm ever since it went sentient some months ago.10:20am : AFAIK10:32am : if there's an extra gizmo there you need an emergency song ready10:33am : What's the difference between the new app and the old one?10:37am : @ Joe: Lots of new features, especially as concern navigation through archived shows - forward or backward in 30 sec. increments and an improved navigation bar that gets you anywhere within a show. The playlists pop-up from an icon at the bottom...or at least they should. Overall, design is better - but the most important thing, listening to the radio, is deeply flawed.10:39am : be careful about emergency song tho. we had a DJ fail and I cued it and it was Portishead and jeez what a downshift.10:41am : Hi bob been listening but been busy cleaning the flat enjoying the show10:42am : i guess ACT OF CREATION sounds like the TURTLES to me. real nicemaybe it was JOHNNY BARBATTA style drum work.i liked the OREGON tune also. reading a book by WALTERKOLOSKY POWER PASSION AND BEAUTY.. STORY OF MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. nice weekend. beautiful weather here in JERSEY10:44am : Marvin Gaye + arranger Dave Van De Pitte = magic10:45am : Marvin Gaye, "Trouble Man:" pure talent, no Auto-Tune.10:48am : Good morning Bob & company, Listening to the live show for the first time in too long & so glad to be here.10:53am : Hi Rhndrsn and any other folks checking in on the new iPhone app! Apologies about playlists missing for archives... that broke on the way to the app store. We hope to get it working this weekend. Thanks for your patience!10:58am : Thank you for responding, Liz. I know that the app, like everything else @ 'FMU, is a labor of love. Mostly, though, it's the intermittent audio that frustrates with the new one. And usually I'm not the least bit superstitious about Friday the 13th...in this case, a weird choice of day to roll out a new version.11:02am : food's cookin', beer's flowin', toonz are just doin' it doin' it
