  12:04pm βrian:

In my house, doing nothing is referred to as fiddle-faddling. It can be a very productive time.
  12:05pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Yay, Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm Charlie:

Fiddle Faddling is the new name for the old fad that is all the rage here.
  12:13pm rf:

WOW thanks

Hey, Roberto -- yeh, nostalgia lane here ;)
Avatar 12:27pm Sean B.:

Does anybody remember the Radio Shack external [crossover equipped] 'super tweeters'?. #40-1310B.
Avatar 12:28pm ndbob:

great one here Charlie!
Avatar ♥ 12:28pm Carmichael:

Just yesterday, I was talking about my Kraco car speakers purchased at The Shack. They melted in a Tucson summer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Charlie:

Never leave your tweeters in a car with the windows up on a hot day.
Avatar ♥ 12:38pm bobdoesthings:

yeah yeah... John.. YEA! I remember him... ANDDDD...??? geeeeeesuzzzzz
Avatar 12:38pm Sean B.:

www.ebay.com... These things. I've had a pair of them since 1981. I dunno...they really hold up nice. Just wanted to share
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm doctorjazz:

Wow, have this at home, great track "John Somebody"
Avatar 12:39pm Lewis:

Scott Johnson has worked a lot with Kronos apparently - hmmm….
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40pm Parq:

Charlie, you are just a wonder.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Charlie:

Hey, there's a doctor in the house!
Hi Parq, and thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm doctorjazz:

Great set, by the way...
Avatar ♥ 12:43pm bobdoesthings:

dammmn Kutiman is killing it
Avatar ♥ 12:45pm bobdoesthings:

I gotta check these kutiman videos on my lunch break
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm Charlie:

Kutiman - Thru You Too
"A music album composed of unrelated YouTube videos" -- how does he do it? It's amazing!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm Uncle Michael:

Holy crap, Charlie. That fist set just makes me want to give up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm Charlie:

Hi Uncle Michael! You're an inspiration yourself, don't you know :)
Avatar ♥ 12:49pm βrian:

"Let me be the fist to tell you ..."
Avatar 12:49pm Lewis:

This narration reminds me of Jim Copp's rhythms on his not-just-for-kids albums
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:50pm Uncle Michael:

Fist, lust and alewives, Brian.
Avatar ♥ 12:51pm βrian:

Aren't you missing WI right about now, Lewis?
  12:52pm jan:

Great show. I have this Loof and Let Dime- had no idea, there was another track I bought the CD for and never really listened to it- Hearing it now- I like it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:52pm Uncle Michael:

Well, thank you Charlie. Driving here my jaw was interfering with my use of the accelerator and brake pedals.
Avatar 12:52pm Lewis:

Oh yeah… your boy Scott is whooping it up big time. (that said our boy Dayton isn't exactly a paragon of backbone at the moment either)
Avatar 12:52pm Sean B.:

There is his really good band floating around named the Alewives.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm Charlie:

Hi Jan!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael:

See, I'd think "Dead Alewives," because that was a *thing* when I was a kid in Chicago.
  12:57pm gary mitchell:

diggin' this soft hard drive
Avatar ♥ 12:57pm bobdoesthings:

the phrase "hard drive" has really changed these days
Avatar 12:57pm Sean B.:

www.soundclick.com... These guys @UnclcleMike [for obviously anytime after this if you are interested] shit i forgot about the guys...
Avatar ♥ 12:58pm βrian:

UM, I knew an old farmer guy in VT who referred to that pedal on the floor as the exhilarator.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Sean.

Brian, I'm guessing he didn't drive a Pacer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm Brian in UK:

Charlie, the new Tom Stoppard play challenges the nature of consciousness.
www.bbc.co.uk...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:07pm Charlie:

Hey there, Gary!
Avatar ♥ 1:08pm βrian:

"You'd press down on that exhilarator and, boy-jesus, she'd really go!"
Avatar ♥ 1:10pm βrian:

Saw LTC in Madison once. It was *really* cold out, and Megan seemed a bit cranky.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm Charlie:

Are they still around, βrian?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:19pm Charlie:

the play sounds interesting, Brian in UK
Avatar 1:22pm Sean B.:

Kinda reminds me of a East/West but different...
Avatar 1:23pm Sean B.:

Bloomfield.
Avatar 1:23pm Sean B.:

The Sun City Girls...nice.
Avatar ♥ 1:24pm Carmichael:

Daddy loves the Monkees ...
  1:31pm gary mitchell:

quiet storm!
  1:36pm jan:

What's with the reverb on your announcement when heard on iPhone?
  1:42pm gary mitchell:

I think I just broke my breakboard
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:43pm Brian in UK:

Like the cut of your jib, Charlie.
Avatar 1:48pm still b/p:

Like the Hutt of your Jabba.
Hiya.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:52pm Uncle Michael:

Is this Art Garfunkel? It sounds like Art Garfunkel.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:53pm Charlie:

Jan -- does the iPhone accentuate the reverb or something? Maybe I should tone it down.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:53pm Uncle Michael:

Your reverb is a thing of beauty, Charlie.
Avatar 1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Charlie. That was a ride.
Avatar ♥ 1:58pm bobdoesthings:

  1:59pm Doug Schulkind:

On my 15-minute break - just in Tim to catch your last minute, Charlie. A nice minute!
Avatar ♥ 1:59pm βrian:

A ride indeed. You definitely leaned hard on the exhilarator. Now for some lunch ...
  2:00pm Doug Schulkind:
