Listener comments!
9:04am : Good morning, Mr Brainen and other Brainiacs.
Sunny and cold in west Toronto.9:07am : good morning guy and mr brainen, still cloudy here and 6-ish inches of snow in asheville. still lightly falling flurries9:08am : Which DJ (mighta been here) noted the list of Artists that ToddR had only worked w/ - once?: always great results - but somehow didn't come back for 2nds...9:11am : hi annie,
not to pry, but is that a lot of snow for asheville?9:17am : We are transplanted Bob Brainen fans from Jersey to right outside of Asheville. Looks like 8 inches out here in Fairview which is lot for this mountainous community.9:18am : Good morning and Happy New Year, Bob, and all the Brainen loyalists.🥁 9:19am : Morning all Braniacs9:19am : Morning! Great segue from Todd to Terje. Sonny here?9:22am : Good morning to Bob and to everyone.9:23am : Good morning bb & fans of sub-zero weather everywhere! 8-)9:24am : in one fell swoop, yes guy. and what jeff and marilyn said. the temps are going to go down the next day or so and back up to "normal" by wednesday,55.
. hello to fairview from tunnel road!!!!9:29am : ...sorry Dad - w/ all the LSD trips lately - my mind was just elsewhere...Is this wine here anything special? I could use help relaxing after that...9:34am : Good morning. Get me through this frigid morning.9:37am : Morning all9:38am : hey melinda!9:39am : Good morning from Brussels !9:41am : tair-ee-a is how Norwegians pronounce it9:41am : Hi Bob, the orange Q album is "Grooves In Orbit".9:44am : hi annie!9:46am : I watched the FMU documentary last night, recommend it to any who haven't seen it yet. Sex and Broadcasting.9:50am : ...hehe - Andy Partridge - ♏Scorpio...9:52am : sex is so significant to be the title?9:52am : Hiya, Bob, and listeners to Bob.
@melinda: where'd you see the doc?9:55am : I'm sorry, I'm drunk9:58am : Russian always drunk9:58am : But gentle9:59am : Do you tap your neck with a front finger?10:00am : It's the title of a book mentioned in the film, no sex involved. I watched on amazon, 3.99 I think for 7 day access.10:01am : I checking it out on amazon too. Gonna watch it this evening.10:01am : @Ilya: he word *sex* in the title was an ironic reference to Western consumerism, where the word *sex* in the title of a book or music album ( SEX PISTOLS) or in the headline of any news guarantees more attention.
Not very much sex in the documentary at all, I hear.
@mauri: how's that guaranteed annual income thing going? You in the pilot project? :-D10:02am : Thanks@melinda.10:05am : Western consumerism is really there?10:05am : Sem. Its inert :D I will have some business courses during spring so maybe I can start something next year. Probably lots of school stuff on the way so. someday.10:06am : Great, a DJ that mumbles and speaks to softly to be understood10:07am : Does Asheville shut down with that much snow?10:07am : today is Michelle Phillip's birthday10:08am : as a child, joan crawford and bette davis used to confuse me ; never could tell them apart10:10am : pretty much melinda. much the same as DC. the main reason, though, is that we are surrounded by hills, valleys, pockets, hollows, etc. so literally many microclimates to work with. black ice is prevalant here.10:11am : Head for the slopes! www.onthesnow.com... Before it all melts.10:12am : Lake Tahoe, Salt Lake City, Aspen areas will have a good, long 2017 snow season ; another 15-24" headed that way soon10:15am : I hope the critters have winter strategies down in Asheville.10:22am : Yea Brummels!10:22am : I was visiting DC once when a relatively large snow dump happened, and residents were saying that the city had done a much better job of clearing streets than usual. They looked pretty crappy to me, so I assumed it was a matter of poor city services, since you hear that kind of thing about DC in general. But maybe it's just not worth clearing if it will melt away soon.10:30am : "What's the matter with Helen" is not a good film10:39am : What was the name of the blogspot Bob mentioned?10:51am : I was in D of C walking near 7th & E when the Air Florida jet crashed into 14th St bridge over the Potomac ; miserable day all around, not just weather10:55am : Another excellent show today, BB !10:57am : Who would think some of us(moi included) would be rediscovering Gary Lewis and the Playboys? Lush studio sound and tuneful as heck.10:59am : @Stuart: Look up an episode of 'Come to the Sunshine' (a great program).
