[crosses fingers]
  9:14pm
Michael McCartney:

Enjoying the show this evening in Hawaii where the sun is still up on this Christmas Eve Eve. The musical output of Mike Viola is simply amazing.
  9:16pm

Darth Vader:

Impressive. Most impressive.
  9:27pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

PSEU! Happy holidays to you and The White Russian and all the studio and playlist pals.
Wait a minute, that's not OUR Kelly Jones, is it?!?
  9:28pm
eastvanhalen:

Way too good. Evening, all.
  9:31pm
pseu:

  9:34pm
Destroit:

Merry Xmas pseu & everyone! Totally looking forward to the show. Now engaging cheese & crackers.
  9:34pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Thanks sooo much for this show, Pseu! There's nobody like MV!
  9:38pm
PB:

That cover version of Fun Fun Fun by Girls was pretty good. Are they paying royalties to the Beach Boys for that "originial" song.
  9:40pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Mmmm! Jim Capaldi!
  9:40pm
Randy in NC:

I missed them, but The Connells played a rare show here last weekend.
  9:41pm
pseu:

I don't think the Beach Boys are rich enough, PB nor do I think anyone should honor their influence, that's just criminal.
  9:42pm
pseu:

also, it's spelled "aboriginal".
  9:43pm
PB:

Pseu, their is "honoring someone's influence" and then there is blatantly and unashamedly ripping someone off.
  9:44pm
pseu:

oh, jeez, get a grip. Welcome to 1913.
  9:45pm
pseu:

We have some Beach Boys experts on this board right now. Let them weigh in.
  9:51pm
James in ATL:

I am no expert, but the beach Boys Surfing USA is a direct lift of Sweet Little Sixteen by Chuck Berry.
  9:54pm
Michael McCartney:

YEAH BABY! Digging it!
  9:57pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Electro De Perfecto is easily one of the beat albums of the year!
  9:58pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Read that as best, not beat. Jeez....
  10:01pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Save this link for later. An early acoustic version of, "Soundtrack...."
http://youtu.be/ql2uDMkKGNE
  10:02pm
Destroit:

I've never heard of mike v. This is great great music. Now I Know.
  10:07pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Another link for later....
http://youtu.be/bdtNcGCrr_g
I'll be quiet now....
  10:08pm
Destroit:

Rub rub rub...I cannot believe I've never heard of him, this is wonderful...its like I have a new toy to play with. :)
  10:11pm
G:

I got my first Viola music after hearing a track of his on this show back in June or July.
  10:12pm
Kieran:

Great music. Thank you Mike Viola.
  10:12pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Hey G, what Viola music did you get?
  10:14pm
G:

Got "Falling Into Place" first, then several others after listening to that...
  10:15pm
Destroit:

If mike v. And David gedge f,d each other, had a baby....I'd like that baby
  10:16pm
G:

yep...!
  10:18pm
MaryL:

Good God -- can I actually buy this song anywhere?
  10:19pm
Michael McCartney:

Yes. Amazon and iTunes. Some actual music stores. Also his own website - MikeViola.com
  10:21pm
Destroit:

I feel like I'm listening to Costello and Joe Jackson for the first time. Yeahhhhhh! Best gift ever!
  10:22pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

YES, MaryL!
http://merchdirect.com/mikeviola
Electro De Perfecto is the album!
  10:22pm
MaryL:

Thanks, Michael! I've been rooting around and can find it on eMusic, too, so that's lined up for my next download. (Which track had the hook "Blame it on the Beatles and the Stones"?)
  10:23pm
James in ATL:

Terrific stuff! This song sounds like a great NRBQ song.
  10:23pm
R Stevie Less:

I missed the talk sets, can you please repeat everything you said during the next one?
  10:24pm
Andrew:

Hi Sue & everyone! ^_^
Hope you're having a good pre christmas (it's christmas eve here)
  10:27pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

MaryL, that track was, "Closet Cutter".
  10:29pm
MaryL:

Ha! I just went through the excerpts on eMusic and found that out, Dr.! Yeah, I'm buying the whole thing one way or another, but that minor chord change on CC just KILLS me. God bless plangent singer-songwriters with husky voices.
  10:29pm
tramshed:

I demand you play ebook renditions of popular fantasy book songs.
I also demand you call it "Pseu's Thing With A Book"
  10:30pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

MaryL, you may want to consider buying the CD (or vinyl) from MV instead? :)
  10:32pm
Michael McCartney:

I got the vinyl from Mike directly. It sounds amazing.
  10:33pm
MaryL:

Yes, I support artists directly when I can -- getting my credit card out right now!
  10:35pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Yeah, Mike. I bought the vinyl from Mike at his Portland, Maine show, then digitized the LP, and burned a CD of it. The CD has 2 tracks. Side 1 and Side 2. Sounds AMAZING!
  10:38pm
Destroit:

Gedge, McGowan, Costello. Lennon, Mascis and now mv. I don't usually listen to lyrics. You, mv, had me listening to words, not sounds, and that is hard to do. Thank you and keep movin!
  10:39pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Let's Have' A Baby!
  10:41pm
Destroit:

All night
  10:44pm
MaryL:

Gah! Such a backlist to catch up with. Hey Mike, any touring plans? Toronto on the schedule?
  10:46pm
Destroit:

I forgot Billy joel in my lyrics hall of fame...all night
  10:48pm
glenn:

it's very cold in t.o. tonight. he'd be happier staying in l.a.
  10:49pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

MaryL he was in Vancouver awhile ago. He's in Boston a couple times a year in a tiny, intimate club. You should make the trip!
  10:49pm
Marmalade Kitty:

Merry Christmas Pseu & all!!
  10:49pm
MaryL:

We have houses and furnaces up here, you know.
  10:49pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Andrew Gold cover! Wheee!
  10:50pm
Andrew:

hey i know this song... summers day
  10:50pm
Dirk Diggler:

Love this song.
  10:51pm
glenn:

yes, i know. my house in the junction has a very lovely furnace.
  10:52pm
Destroit:

Marmalade! Did not expect this tonight. Too good.
  10:53pm
MaryL:

I'm in the Junction, too, but I'm originally from Québec, so I haven't even turned on the furnace yet. Got tourtière to keep me warm.
  10:54pm
Marmalade Kitty:

Is this Mike V? The Playlist stopped updating on the bats?? Sounds great.. Hi Destroit!
  10:55pm
MaryL:

Yes, this is Mike V. How the hell have I never heard of him before?
  10:57pm
glenn:

tourtiere is tomorrow night.
  10:58pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

MaryL, MV isn't all that well known, unfortunately. Glad you know who his is now!
  10:58pm
tramshed:

with the flash player, its incredibly easy to rip the streams
  10:59pm
glenn:

ripping streams doesn't pay the artist.
  11:00pm
Destroit:

Im darn near 40. Top ten ever. Again, thank you for running this stuff.
  11:00pm
tramshed:

trying to buy albums that arent available also doesnt pay the artist.
  11:01pm
G:

@glenn: to have this particular performance, not as a substitute for buying legal music
  11:01pm
Andrew:

thanks mike & pseu. I gotta head off now, presents to wrap & all (im not at home right now, gotta get home)
hope you all have a great christmas! ^_^
  11:02pm
glenn:

both those points are correct. i am humbled.
  11:04pm
tramshed:

tis ok, there was a fair chance I was just being an asshole anyways. Im pretty drunk
  11:04pm
MaryL:

humble pie < tourtière -- meanwhile, merchdirect.com is down for me. I'll have to try later.
  11:05pm
glenn:

anyway, maybe it's just me, but i find flash player plays havoc with my computer.
  11:06pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

MaryL, please contact me at drrknrl@gwi.net. I have an official MV sampler CD I got at a recent show that I'd be happy to send you. Glad you discovered him!
  11:07pm
glenn:

soundscapes may have it, maryl.
  11:10pm
tramshed:

its only alive until you kill and eat it.
  11:11pm
MaryL:

Thanks for both offers, guys. I can get instant gratification with YouTube, so I'll buy the album when the site is up for me again.
  11:13pm
pseu:

hey all, tramshed -- WFMU's Free Music Archive will make this whole set available for FREE in HI FIDELITY AUDIO, this is Mike's and our gift to you! I'll let you know when that happens over here: http://www.facebook.com/events/215110331902414/ after the holidays -- no idea how long it takes, we're a volunteer organization.
  11:16pm
MaryL:

Van Dyke Parks? SRSLY?
  11:21pm
Dr. Rock'n'Roll:

Thanks again for this Christmas present, Pseu!
  11:23pm
pseu:

you're most welcome, Dr.!
  11:23pm
Marmalade Kitty:

I'm wrapping presents while listening to the show No rest for the wicked :D
  11:24pm
MaryL:

pseu, I'm a newbie who has to set aside time for your show from now on. Love it!
  11:26pm
glenn:

besides, listening to pseu is far less painful than watching les habs lose yet again.
  11:27pm
MaryL:

*cries*
  11:29pm
James in ATL:

This has been the one of the best live performance sets I have heard on WFMU. I immediately bought Electro De Perfecto online. Thanks Pseu for this great show.
