Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:03pm Uncle Michael:

Curate me some air, airtender.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:04pm Charlie:

hey, uncle m -- air is in plentiful, ulp, supply
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:05pm listener james from westwood:

@Charlie: Oh, I have indeed done so for some of these. Have to be on speaker, though, and ambient sound blots out the incoming voice. >:(
Avatar ♥ 12:08pm Carmichael:

Hi Charlie, so busy doing nothing that I forgot to tune in for the active nothingness. Is today's show brought to us by the letter M?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:09pm Pseu Braun:

Chizz-Burger!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm Parq:

Hi all. Charlie, I really like this Mir.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm Charlie:

hiya Carmichael -- m & m
hey there, Pseu Braun! let me offer you a sample today :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Charlie:

welcome, Parq -- me too -- just learned about this the other day from Peter Nelson (of Eclectic Music for Mind and Bodhi)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm Parq:

Yeah, what happened to Peter's show? It's not on the sked any more.
Avatar ♥ 12:13pm βrian:

I didn't see that trap door … and now, here I am.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:14pm Charlie:

He found he could not manage a weekly show, due to various factors. He will be back with the occasional program.
Avatar ♥ 12:14pm Carmichael:

I heard that Peter had to drop out for health-related reasons, either his or someone near to him. I heard the tail-end of his last show. Is it archived? I should listen to the beginning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie and chums.
Any plans to play Moranbong?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:20pm Brian in UK:

These are the gals for me. Play this clip and go wild.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:20pm Charlie:

hi Brian -- I do not know this Moranbong of which you speak. should I?

Avatar 12:33pm Sarah N:

Hi Charlie and fellow nadaists. I'm off to the kitchen to make nothing to eat - shall be while listening to this nothingness on my lappy. Shhhhhhhhhh....quietly does it.....
  12:34pm jan:

Beautiful Bebel!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:35pm Charlie:

hello Sarah! happy to be part of your nutritionally completely nothing meal ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Charlie:

hi jan! yes, lovely song, lovely voice.
Avatar 12:40pm Mayuko:

Late but here! Hello Charlie and all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm Parq:

Sorry I'm late on the pick-up, but my best to Peter and Sarah and my hopes that all either is or soon will be well over their way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm Charlie:

Hi Mayuko! Happy you are here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm Artie Haywire:

Enjoying the show, Charlie!
Avatar ♥ 12:55pm Carmichael:

Brings a new meaning to the phrase "empty calories", Sarah.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:55pm Charlie:

Glad to know it, Artie.
Avatar ♥ 12:57pm Carmichael:

Now I have to dig out my Great Society LP. Haven't listened to that in at least 5 eons.
Avatar 12:57pm Mayuko:

This Great Society stuff is really nice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:58pm Charlie:

yes there is some great stuff on these records. dunno if they were ever reissued . . . ?
Avatar 1:04pm Sarah N:

Hi Parq. All is well here thanks. Peter is enjoying much needed rest and, fear not, there WILL be more shows, irregular one-off specials.

@Carmichael - calories schmalories, ha! I never use them in my cooking. They spoil the taste.
Avatar 1:04pm Mayuko:

I feel like I like that there was some sense of quietness in this set - doesn't mean you're playing quiet music, but something that makes sense to have that picture on the playlist.
  1:12pm Listening Out There:

Yes, I am liking today's program, as a matter of fact...
Avatar 1:13pm Sarah N:

@Mayuko - I always get a sense of quietness listening to Charlie's shows, whatever the music.

The Stravinsky sounds like Bernard Hermann. Just learned Hermann did the music used in the War of the Worlds broadcast...
Avatar 1:34pm Mayuko:

Oh my, P.M. Dawn!? I (of course) heard their Spandau Ballet cover first and actually had their album a long long long time ago! Completely forgotten about them!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:42pm Charlie:

I like to remind you of things :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:42pm Charlie:

including things you didn't already know ;)
Avatar 1:43pm Mayuko:

Living in the real world is so hard comparing to living in fantasy but this fun set is making me feel it's a bit more doable!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:44pm Charlie:

happy to help!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:45pm Brian in UK:

Even with Noel's 'singing' this still sounds good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael:

better Noel than Rex
Avatar ♥ 1:47pm βrian:

Mr. Neno!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:48pm Brian in UK:

Great show, Charlie. Did I need to write that. Ofcourse I did.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:49pm Charlie:

Yes, βria -- Nino!
Avatar 1:49pm mauri:

It's all been very good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:50pm Brian in UK:

mauri, love the hat. It is a hat?
Avatar 1:51pm Mayuko:

Wish I could go home right away and make art to your music instead of working at the office :/
Avatar 1:51pm mauri:

it is a hat. strangely I was looking at your pic just now.
Avatar 1:52pm Peter N:

Thanks for nothing.
  1:54pm Doug Schulkind:

Great music happens, and Charlie is Doing Nothing about it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:54pm Charlie:

hi Peter! you're doubly welcome for nothing ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:55pm Charlie:

hi Doug! I try to get out of the way as much as possible . . .
Avatar ♥ 1:55pm βrian:

@Mayuko: May I borrow that line? Up to "music," that is.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:55pm Charlie:

@Mayuko -- sorry you're at work instead of home making art -- but your comment makes me happy :)
Avatar 1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar 1:57pm Mayuko:

haha, sure βrian!
Avatar ♥ 1:58pm βrian:

Yo la tengo tambien. Y tu ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:58pm Charlie:
