Isn't it almost time for Mardi Schmaltz, by the way?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:16pm listener james from westwood:

Ich liebe schmutz! I had a grungy typewriter typeface called Schmutz once. Had to force myself not to use it on my résumé and such.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Charlie:

i will not give up schmaltz for lent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm schmutz:

there's a little schmutz in my schmaltz. is Mardi Schmaltz a thing?

Hey, I'm doing a show with Brian Dewan at the end of March.

I've had Harry Nilsson on the brain lately! I'm not complaining.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:28pm Dominick:

@glenn - Stupid sexy Flanders!

I think the Nilsson documentary is still on Netflix for anyone who hasnt checked it out

@ndbob - indeed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:31pm Charlie:

Hi Henry -- will Brian Dewan be playing the Dewanatron?
  12:32pm Wendy del Formaggio:

The Nilsson doc streamed on netflix as of last week. That's when I watched it. Worth checking out!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:32pm Webhamster Henry:

I actually own that Nilsson doc DVD. You will fall in love with his wife and kids!
  12:32pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Is he singing "double-u"? "W"? That's me!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm Webhamster Henry:

We'll be working acoustic - we're the two wackiest autoharpers ever.

Cool, Henry. I love his autoharp songs.

More details as I nail them down and print postcards.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm Charlie:

That Montana article reminds me of the scene in Bananas: "Underwear must be changed three times a day. And it must be worn on the outside, so we can check."
  12:37pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Hi Charlie! Enchiladas all around!
  12:37pm josh:

aah i love "father time," wish i could hear this show rn, no sound at work, happened to visit wfmu home page while this song showed in the "now playing" box there
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Mike East:

The Montana article reminds me that being a NY-centric person means I am completely out of touch with the middle/majority of the US.

Great show so far, Charlie!
  12:42pm Holly in NC:

Hello Charlie & all! So happy to be here in real time! ! Won't be able to talk but am listening :-)

Avatar 12:44pm still b/p:

That Montana state rep. should show us how well he does the atomic sit-up.
  12:46pm Holly in NC:

btw I have tons of home rendered schmaltz & bacon grease in the fridge, plus purchased tallow & lard & duck fat. Fat is good :-) Fat Thursday!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Mike East:

dunno, Brian...I'm from Jersey :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm Charlie:

Josh - sorry you can't listen at work; thanks for looking :)
Hi Holly! Uncle Michael! Mike East!
Avatar 12:48pm βrian:

Jersey? I hear you can see France from there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Mike East:

@Holly - I went to a TJ's and asked if they sold duck fat and felt like the woman was really judging me for wanting it...they didn't have it.
  12:49pm frenchee:

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm just now getting the racial implications of this song!
Avatar 12:50pm βrian:

Funny, I tried to find some duck fat for a cassoulet. No luck.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:52pm listener james from westwood:

Unexpected Janis Ian trivia: She contributed a chapter to a book of essays I proofread about Orson Scott Card's science fiction novel "Ender's Game." I saw the name in the table of contents and had to check to see if it was THAT Janis Ian.

Belgian fries in duck fat! Brussels Sprouts in duck fat! A couple miles from me but I never et there.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Mike East:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Charlie:

Hi Frenchee! I often find that songs that I knew as a kid turn out to have meanings that I was completely unaware of at the time.
Avatar 12:55pm βrian:

True dat, UM.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Charlie:

Haha, Uncle Michael!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, Charlie. Gotta run, but have loved it so far!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

Of course, there are also so many more yuks to get from Bugs Bunny cartoons as adults!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

thanks, Jeff!

Yuks seared in duck fat.

@Charlie: EXACTLY.

Oh, wait. Mike Fivash is up, right? Saved!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm Charlie:

I got no duck fat, but we got Duck Rock.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm Charlie:

I don't have schmaltz, but I do have some home-made schmaltzy chicken broth in the fridge.
Avatar 1:00pm βrian:

Put some on your headlights and you'll be ready for Mardi Schmaltz.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm Alex In Illinois:

I remember this tune playing from my younger sister's radio when I was a teenager.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm Charlie:

I think with the schmaltz, I'll be ready for Fat Tuesday.
  1:08pm βrian:

"Perking up those lips," did he say?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Charlie:

Double dutch memory, @Alex.
  1:13pm Holly in NC:

@MikeEast - if you are near a Whole Foods, most have duck fat, also Fresh Market (only store in world more expensive than WF, but sometimes has good sales) All other sources I know are internet or local to "washing hands = gov't overreach" North Carolina ;-)
  1:16pm Holly in NC:

Charlie! This Gaylettes song in my top 10 all time !!!!!!!! !!@@

  1:18pm rf:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm Mike East:

@Holly - I sent my wife to WF to find it (when I was looking), but they had none. She DID, however come back with some dynamite duck pate, in its place, though. Didn't help with the confit, but damn, that was some good shit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm Charlie:

Holly - !!! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hiya Garyyyyyy!
rf - thanks for frequenting my show today.

Avatar 1:38pm Lewis:

Hello all = with you in silence today as I must come up to speed on the dramatic radiations of flowering plants and insects in the mid-Cretaecous in order not to embarrass myself next week.
Avatar 1:42pm ndbob:

Sounds interesting Lewis - wish I know more about that
Avatar 1:42pm βrian:

I suggest a nice amber as a study aid.
Avatar 1:43pm βrian:

Just don't let yourself get trapped ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm Charlie:

"Dramatic radiations of flowering plants and insects in the mid-Cretaceous" -- that is poetry as I need it...
Avatar 1:44pm Lewis:

@ndbob - it is actually pretty cool, just learned that the insect clock is essentially reset in the great extinction at the end of the Permian…
@brian - indeed i have gotten trapped in that amber before!
Avatar 1:50pm bobdoesthings:

Ahh does anyone have "African Scream Contest" vol 1?? I recently added to my list of things to check out.. worth it?
Avatar 1:51pm ndbob:

i recently learned about amberat - instead of tree resin the preservative is crystallized wood rat urine
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm Charlie:

It's nice to know there's a use for that, Bob!
Avatar 1:52pm Lewis:

@bob…. I have analog africa no.3 entitled African Scream Contest, but I don't think that is what you are looking for...
  1:52pm Holly in NC:

Another song in my top 20, at least (Asaw Fofur)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Charlie:

All hits radio, Holly ;)
Avatar 1:53pm ndbob:

Indeed Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Charlie:

Matt Fiveash coming up right after this show. Here's his playlist: wfmu.org...
Don't go anywhere!
Avatar 1:54pm Lewis:

@ndbob - interesting… I was reading this morning about highly detailed preserved cretaceous flowers that were preserved by carbonization, but must admit that rat piss takes the cake!
Avatar 1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar 1:56pm Lewis:

@Bobdoesthings, I have this one: analogafrica.bandcamp.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm listener james from westwood:
