Hello, Rob and friends!

🌍

6:21pm Ken From Hyde Park:

With no Diane Kamikaze on the current schedule, it's quite the thing to hear some metal on WFMU. This is pretty wild.

🌍

6:24pm Bas NL:

Hi Rob!

6:31pm Rob W:

Greetings Bas, Smilty, KHP, SeanG, chresti and everyone!

6:38pm Stanley:

Nice drop of kora. Reminiscent of Dembo Konte and Kausu Kuyateh Jali Roll days.

6:41pm Stanley:

This good also.

🌍

6:42pm chresti:

This, good.

🌍

6:44pm Mitten John:

Good. This. Yes.

🌍

6:48pm chresti:

I think Los Mirlos played last summer in LA

🌍

6:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

hello, WFMU pals!

6:56pm Rob W:

Yes chresti you're right about that. This is the first NY gig that I know of. They've played a few shows on the east coast on the current tour already actually.

6:57pm northguineahills:

Being lazy, I'm just going to say what GST said (taking more words).

🌍

7:03pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

ngh, you're welcome to any of my comments, and i hope that if you feel so inspired, you may share about what delicious food may be on your menu (you always seem to be cooking up something tasty)

🌍

7:06pm chresti:

What Granny said...

🌍

7:06pm chresti:

Now, time to dance.

7:11pm northguineahills:

I have more eggplant then I know what to do w/ in my garden, but only know stirfry recipes. It's not a really a thing in Mexico, otherwise it's other East Asian recipes. Any recipes welcome. I like to learn! (having bok choi, carrots, chilis (of course), sesame noodles, miso sauce, and soy, and an egg right now. I now have ghost peppers longer then my hand.

7:13pm northguineahills:

I also know how to cook Caribbean, Indian and Thai, (but the later two take quite a bit of work)>

🌍

7:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

ngh: i'll be right over! (yummmm to all of that)

🌍

7:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

i would love to improve my Indian cooking. It is a LOT of preparation for a proper meal.

🌍

7:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

And Rob, thank you for the gorgeous stream of sound entering my home and ears…

🌍

7:16pm Mitten John:

Suggestion for NGH: Eggplant->ratatouille

7:22pm northguineahills:

@Mitten John! On it. I'm not an expert on Italian cooking (and all of its regions), but it's usually easy. I'll look for a Sardinian/Sicilian recipe.

7:24pm northguineahills:

although I make a mean vegan pizza, w/ either pita or naan....(not vegan, but usually cook vegan/veggie).

7:26pm northguineahills:

@GST: My Indian-American friend gave me lessons, and she said it took her teen years-20s to figure out what she was doing. I usually just make West African curries (there is an African market here, so it's easier to get ingredients).

7:31pm Fox:

Babaganoush is super easy. My favorite indian dish is Baingan Barta: cooking.nytimes.com...

7:34pm northguineahills:

happy thanks, Fox!

7:44pm хtina:

good sounds a'cookin

7:47pm northguineahills:

I wanted my wife to go to Los Mirlos, but she didn't text me back in time (she is the reason for Mexi and Colombian cumbia collection, y cumbia rebajada.

🌍

7:47pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

a smoky babaganoush is one of my favorite snacks ever

7:49pm northguineahills:

text me back in time to email for tix

my cumbia record collection.

I'll figure out English, even if it takes me another 40 years.

🌍

7:51pm Granny Spicy Tuna:

this is an irresistible beat

7:51pm Michael 98145:

English is an evolving language.

:)

🌍

7:57pm Bas NL:

Hey! I only just read The Netherlands won the Eurovision Songfestival.. last time was 44 years ago. :|

8:01pm Michael 98145:

Congrats ( i suppose ) @Bas!

:)

🌍

8:04pm Bas NL:

My second discovery was it had already taken place @Michael! Can't say i followed it too much.

8:05pm northguineahills:

@Bas: Never heard of Teach-In (I wasn't born yet, and Eurovision viewing/news wasn't available here until the last decade). But I knew the next winner ABBA (as does everyone else).

8:07pm Michael 98145:

I don't think our pathetic cable provider provided any coverage of the event ...

🌍

8:09pm Bas NL:

Like ABBA Teach-In were known mainstream artists with nice poppy tunes.. ABBA from Sweden were better by miles though.

8:19pm northguineahills:

(I'm more of a Boney M kind of guy).

8:23pm Rob W:

Congratulations, I think, Bas!

🌍

8:24pm chresti:

I forgot about the quiet pause, earlier..

🌍

8:24pm Bas NL:

Boney M.. way cool @ngh! He, he.. i still must have some of their 7'' hit singles.

8:26pm Michael 98145:

Hmm ... "Madonna arrived in Israel on Tuesday and is scheduled to perform at the contest’s grand final on Saturday night. The bombastic live show, including supermodel Bar Refaeli as one of the announcers, is expected to attract an international television audience of about 200 million viewers. "

8:28pm Michael 98145:

Forgot about this : "Israel won the right to host the competition after Israeli singer Netta captured the public vote in the contest last year with the song “Toy,” a high-energy reference to the #MeToo movement, replete with chicken sounds."

🌍

8:31pm Bas NL:

Yes, and so next year The Netherlands will host Eurovision.

8:31pm Rob Weisberg:

The Dutch victory means that we can send Bas to report on next year's Eurovision final which therefore will be in the Netherlands!

8:32pm John from Florham Park:

Hello fellow listeners

8:33pm Michael 98145:

I don't think Bas deserves such treatment

:)

8:36pm Michael 98145:

I really enjoy your programs. Thank you, Rob W.
