I'm finished not doing nothing.
Avatar ♥ 11:59am βrian:

Some things most worth having really stink.
Avatar 12:00pm ndbob:

stink bugs aren't quite up there with rodents but.....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Hey hey, all! Anything doing?
  12:01pm jan:

Happy New Year, Charlie! And thanks for using my photo on today's Playlist!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:01pm Uncle Michael:

This track fooled me...it begins like Neil Diamond's "Done Too Soon."
Avatar 12:01pm Peter Nelson:

Koalas do nothing. Sometimes all day.
Avatar 12:02pm annie:

koala live a very slothful life
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:02pm doctorjazz:

Wow, thought I was early to post, fun track, hi Nothingers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:03pm Uncle Michael:

Koala wanna do fuck-all, all day. Polly Wolly Doodle...

Avatar ♥ 12:08pm βrian:

My stream just had a flashback.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:08pm Charlie:

koalas -- the unofficial totem animal of busy doing nothing (they're too lazy to be official)
Avatar 12:09pm testingwithfire:

Good afternoon Charlie and busy people! Koalas eat quite a bit, though, don't they?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Charlie:

hello testingwithfire -- welcome abroad/aboard!
yes, but lying down.
Avatar 12:11pm annie:

koala move slowly and sleep a lot due to the eucalyptus they consume.. in mass quantities..info from the file in the back of my brain..
Avatar 12:12pm Ozzie Pete:

Eat, sleep in trees and inspire love. I aspire to the lifestyle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:20pm Charlie:

I wonder if they smell nice from eating all that eucalyptus
Avatar 12:23pm annie:

i bet it keeps the bugs off of them
Avatar ♥ 12:24pm βrian:

No Vick's Vapo-Rub for them!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm listener james from westwood:

Avatar 12:41pm testingwithfire:

hah, Wings... memories of 1975 visit to Brooklyn with daily trips to Brighton Beach via the train
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm listener james from westwood:

Huge fave Wings cut as a kid. This and "Band on the Run." Always used to pester my parents for jukebox money for both at restaurants.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm listener james from westwood:

I believe I also had a "Let 'em In" dance to the bridge. It was not good.
Avatar 12:46pm testingwithfire:

1975 was the summer of "Jaws," which I saw on the big screen somewhere in Flatbush. I think it kept me out of the water at the beach about one day... that water would be way too cold for me today.
Avatar ♥ 12:47pm northguineahills:

I think I was in college before I warmed up to Wings.
Avatar 12:47pm testingwithfire:

Speaking of the seventies, anyone see the trailer for "The Get Down" on Netflix yet? blacknerdproblems.com...
  12:48pm Listening Out There:

Wing, yes. Wings, no...
Avatar 12:49pm annie:

i liked Ram, but Wings just was too fluffy for me..i'm sure there were individual songs that got me, but overall... nah.. and the travelling willburys?? absolutely not..

so sue me!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm Charlie:

twf -- not a lot of sharks in bklyn, eh?
LFJW -- too late, i'm picturing you doing the dance!
hi LOT!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm listener james from westwood:

Hah, little bits of "Champ" in this Eric B.
  12:49pm gary mitchell:

love the sample of The Mohawks "The Champ" in this
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm Charlie:

Champ sample spotters here -- hi Gary!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael:

I watched the Association performance of this at Monterrey Pop jus yesterday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm Mike East:

Avatar ♥ 12:55pm northguineahills:

@annie: I like Fluffy.
Avatar ♥ 12:56pm βrian:

Mmm, Busy doing Rugelach!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:01pm Parq:

Hey, all. A big favorite of mine, this Soul Coughing track. "With a body like soft-serve" is one of the all time great opening lines for a song.
Avatar 1:02pm annie:

i've always loved the tom waits line: marmalade thighs and maxwell-house eyes"
Avatar 1:02pm testingwithfire:

@parq - I'm with you - great track.

Hello Charlie, s'funny, just been humming 'I'll Come Running to Tie Your Shoes'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:11pm Charlie:

Hi Brian in UK -- but I'm wearing slippers! ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:24pm listener james from westwood:

Thank you for further expanding my Drells range!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:28pm Charlie:

Besides all their great records on Atlantic, they later did some great albums on Philadelphia International
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:32pm Brian in UK:

.... I love those pointy golden ones, they are so you.
Ah Bappi Bollywood.
  1:33pm gary mitchell:

doin' the double bump to this
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm Charlie:

It's hard not to dance to these Indian soundtrack songs -- they're all big production numbers in the films.
Avatar 1:36pm annie:

there's an indian restaurant here in a-ville that plays indian films on a loop, the ones full of dancing.. the volume is turned down but they are so much fun to watch..
Avatar 1:37pm mauri:

I had to dance to this whilst making a sandwich
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:38pm Brian in UK:

Hello mauri, is the lake frozen over yet? It is sooo warm over here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:38pm Charlie:

every movie should have big production numbers
  1:39pm gary mitchell:

gorgeous this one
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:40pm Charlie:

mauri -- dancing while making sandwich is good for digestion, while eating, not so much
Avatar 1:41pm mauri:

Hey Brian, it's frozen for sure. With the wind it was -33C on ya face today. I moved away from the lakeside.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:41pm Charlie:

gary -- i was just reading last night that Florence Greenberg wanted that as the a-side and walk on by as the b; murray the k disagreed. so he spun both sides on air, and let the listeners vote.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:44pm Uncle Michael:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:51pm Charlie:
