Bruce:

First post!! Greetings from D.C.
  12:07pm
Sean Daily:

Second post! Greetings from Woo Hoo!
  12:10pm
nna:

I love High Places. They make me jealous for not thinking of it first.
  12:14pm
GP:

LoL...Liz ( and hello BTW)..is this really the name of this DUMP album?
  12:14pm
Liz B.:

Hi everyone, hope all of your Record Fair dreams came true this weekend!
  12:16pm
Liz B.:

GP, yeah the Dump album name is hilarious, eh? It's all Prince covers.
  12:17pm
（・ω・）yukkurishiteiitene:

WE LOVE YURA YURA TEIKOKU!!!!　from tokyo japan
  12:28pm
Parq:

So far, the best part of this show is the list of label names. Although I agree that the name of that Prince trib disc is what the kids call epic.
  12:34pm
dc pat:

noticing a toy-drum-sounding theme going on here.
  12:35pm
Bad Ronald:

I guess Prince deserves a reference like that since he was so pretentious as to insist on being referred to as some unpronounceable symbol.
  12:45pm
Patrick in Seattle:

Y Pants, awesome! This is my 3 year old daughter's favorite band. She's been known to break into "What Do You Take Me For" at random. It's pretty great.
  12:56pm
Bad Ronald:

Anybody witness the DMBQ human drum riser? I saw the pic on Belock's PL it looked hilarious!!!
  12:57pm
Parq:

Bad Ron, not to mention that he was and is a skinny MF with a high voice, whose appearance consistently belies the power of his sound.
  12:58pm
Bad Ronald:

Agreed!
  12:59pm
Bryant:

"That Skinny MF With the High Voice?" is actually a self-reference from the Black Album track "Bob George."
  1:00pm
Bad Ronald:

tx for the background Bryant.
  1:06pm
GP:

I heard that Peaches used to be an elementary school teacher or something....I never had any teachers like that!
  1:08pm
Liz B.:

I heard that about Peaches, too! Crazy repression going on or something...
  1:13pm
GP:

Well..she sure isn't repressed any more!
  1:14pm
blk mofo:

glass candy is okay but sometimes the music they make can sound a bit boderline novelty...like a comedy spoof disco band
  1:20pm
Ike:

I don't always get Glass Candy but I liked this track. As far as "comedy spoof disco bands" (warning: tangent), I think Hercules & Love Affair fit that category much more accurately. And also Antony. One of these days he will reveal that he is an acolyte of Andy Kaufman and that he's been making intentionally terrible music for years and tricking indie rock fans into liking it. He's just a comedian deep undercover, posing as a musician.
  1:24pm
Paul B:

Going back to Slumberland records for a moment. Slumberland used to be run by some friends of mine from back in college; Mike Schulman, Mike "archie" Moore (Velocity Girl), and Dan Searing too for a while. I remember when they came into the Kinko's I worked at then with a Windser Mackay book to photocopy an illustration for their Logo. Who is running it now?
  1:27pm
mike g.:

Mike Schulman is still Mr. Slumberland...
  1:31pm
detroitdave:

And I say Liz B is competition for a Slumberland title..zzzzz...............Wait I'm at work! Cryin out loud woman PICK IT UP!!!!!!!!
  1:40pm
mb:

I love Liz Berg's show! It's my favorite. Keep it comin.
  1:41pm
Sean Daily:

Okay, Freddy Quinn is what Johnny Cash would sound like if he was German... FREAKIN' ME OUT, MAN...
  1:42pm
detroitdave:

Yeah but it's funny..........
  1:42pm
michael from doerentrup:

haaaaaaaa.............the lyrics to wir are so fucking anti hippy it`s unbelievable. super offensive. apparently he appologized afterwards and also recorded an anti vietnam war tune.
  1:44pm
esch oder anarchie!:

Actually Sean, there are recordings of Johnny Cash singing in German ("Wo ist zu hause, Mama?") on the WFMU Blog that give a very accurate impression of what Johnny Cash singing in german sounds like ... real good!
  1:44pm
mb:

just curious, but what ARE the lyrics? any idea?
  1:46pm
esch oder anarchie!:

  1:49pm
Ike:

"Who does not want to be confused with a bum? We!

Who cares about peace on earth? We!

Your lungert around in parks and streets,

who can not laziness your senseless act? We! We! We! "

Just a taste of Google Translate's rendering.
  1:51pm
Bad Ronald:

babelfish:
Who doesn't want to be confounded with beatniks? WE!
  1:52pm
Ike:

Oh wow, that's a MUCH funnier translation! "Confounded with beatniks!" I LOVE IT!
  1:54pm
michael from doerentrup:

i.e....
who just wants to talk to you confidentialy : us
who also has their weaknesses : us
who acts in similar ways sometimes : us
who also has long hair, but washed : us

thia is basically the part of the song where he`s trying to make up with the young people. but as i said, it`s just totally offensive

etc.etc.etc.etc......
  1:54pm
Bad Ronald:

it goes on to:

Who worries itself around the peace on ground connection? WE! You lungert around in parks and in lanes, who can't seize your senseless putridness? WE! WE! WE!
  1:56pm
jason:

arr, i can't believe i missed YYTK last nite... are they playing anywhere else in the tristate area anytime soon or is today all i will get of the mellifluous din from across the sea?!?
  1:58pm
Liz B.:

YYT is headed back to Japan, but they will return next year sometime and hope to play both NY and CA.
  1:58pm
michael from doerentrup:

lungert = to loiter
  1:59pm
mb:

thanks for posting a taste of those lyrics. sceeeeery
  1:59pm
detroitdave:

Yeah , you gotta watch those "translation" sites, I have to have German translated on a daily basis and these websites get you in the ball park but it is difficult to have a literal english translation to much of it. I have unintentionally said off color shit to my German counterparts because of Babelfish translations
  2:02pm
Bad Ronald:

Hah, that's funny like the Python skit!
  2:12pm
tatami:

「dekinai」means 「can not」
  2:13pm
Liz B.:

Thanks for the translation, Tatami!
  2:20pm
detroitdave:

Hey Liz,.......how bout something that needs no translating.........were so confused!
  2:21pm
Liz B.:

Gotta keep you guys on your toes with the translating!
  2:21pm
jason:

guitars need no translation
  2:23pm
detroitdave:

While Babelfishing I got jap sentences mixed with german because of your music selections...........but strangely it makes some sense
  2:23pm
tatami:

「tako monogatari」 means 「octopus story」
  2:30pm
michael from doerentrup:

detroitdave is freddy quinn...hehehehe
  2:31pm
randy in NC:

Sounds a bit like Wilco here...
  2:32pm
Liz B.:

I think "Into the Night" is their power ballad, nice!
  2:32pm
Bad Ronald:

yeah dd I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but "jap" can be considered offensive...
  2:33pm
Bad Ronald:

btw - totally digging the YYT set!
  2:33pm
detroitdave:

Nah.... I dont hate, at least not like when Sarah Silverman mowed down a dude because he looked like Osama.
  2:34pm
fishmonkeystew:

This is fantastic stuff!
  2:36pm
Liz B.:

I think you'll love their CDs, eagle_nyc, everything I've heard from them is fantastic, from pop to psych to experimental and all 3 fused together.
  2:38pm
tatami:

「nai!!」means「it is not」
  2:40pm
Mark:

The Yura Yura Teikoku sounds wonderful - thank you! (Hopefully they will make it back for a extended stateside tour sometime soon.)
  2:40pm
cosmic:

great album names!
  2:42pm
~L:

Hi Liz,
Thanks for having Yura Yura T. on your show. They are amazing. I was lucky enough to get to see them at Maxwell's. It is so rare to hear a band that makes you feel honored to hear them. Everyone, go buy the "Live" record!
  2:44pm
cosmic:

  2:45pm
mb:

  2:46pm
jason:

LRD!!!!!!!!!! a band called LSD march from japan do a rather spot-on update of this sound.
  2:46pm
Liz B.:

Yes, the set was recorded in WFMU's Studio B! Thanks to Jason Sigal and Adrian Caballero for engineering alongside expert knob-twister Nakamura Soichiro.
  2:46pm
Liz B.:

I'm with you, Jason, LSD March is also fantastic!
  2:49pm
cosmic:

wow. that was great, thanks! i only just tuned in so ill have to check out the replay. .
  2:49pm
Gene K:

I have this LRD track on the album named 'le 12 mars 1977 a tachikawa'... I assumed it was a live performance..

This whole album is great..
  2:51pm
Liz B.:

Thanks for the info Gene, we've got this burned on a CD (7 tracks total), with no year, label, album info. From what I know, most of their available stuff is bootleg/live.
  2:55pm
Gene K:

Of course.. Thanks for putting this on.. it is awesome!

Here's the album info from discogs.. http://www.discogs.com/release/1031640
  2:59pm
