  3:10pm
Looms:

Happy 2012 Scott and everyone!
  3:11pm
T-Zero:

@nihiles;

http://wfmu.org/playlists/BG
  3:12pm
nihiles:

thank you pierre. i wasnt able to tell because my fmu app was playing a different program than the broadcast for some reason.
  3:16pm
T-Zero:

Afternoon, Looms!
  3:17pm
Looms:

Howdy TZ!
  3:17pm
T-Zero:

Apropos of nothing: The weather here is crazy. It went from 14C yesterday to -13C today with our first snow flurry.
  3:24pm
Looms:

Does it mean that Scott had to ski to the station today?
  3:25pm
Big Dummy:

Aw. I love you too, Howard. And you, Scott.
  3:25pm
MT:

My iPhone app does not show anything on the streams tab. Hasn't for long time. It used to list all the possible streams like drummer some and the rest.
  3:27pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: Don't know. He's about 8 or 9 hours east of me.
  3:29pm
T-Zero:

Wouldn't need to ski here, though. It's cold but the snow hasn't stuck.
  3:30pm
Scott W:

I Love You, Happy New Year all of you!
  3:32pm
T-Zero:

Happy New Year to you, Scott.
  3:33pm
Terry is cooking:

Oh the sounds of creaking sofa leather, what they do to a lady
  3:34pm
glenn:

i'm kinda creeped out by the isaac hayes "sexy" time thing going on here.
  3:37pm
glenn:

man, i'm gonna need a shower after that.
  3:38pm
kat330:

Yeah, kinda creepy. Inspiration for Meadows' "Ladies Man" maybe.
  3:39pm
Ike:

Agreed 111%, Glenn.
  3:40pm
Ike:

...and that's exactly why Scott liked it, I'm betting. :)
  3:41pm
Looms:

@TZ: Oops! Where are you from?
  3:41pm
kat330:

Quite a lovely theme going on here. I'm betting someone had a really nice holiday.
  3:44pm
King penguin:

Thanks for playing the Past Tense off Keep Off the Grass! Third time I've heard something from it live.
  3:44pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: I'm in Columbus, Ohio.
  3:45pm
King penguin:

Bon jour, Pierre.
  3:45pm
King penguin:

Bon jour, Pierre.
  3:46pm
kat330:

@TZ: We had our first flurries here in southern Indiana today, too.
  3:46pm
glenn:

actually, i can see that isaac song as inspiring the entire flight of the conchords songbook, which may be one of the reasons i dislike them so much.
  3:47pm
MT:

Has anyone seen these Japanese commercials for miso noodles with James Brown singing in Japanese about noodles?
  3:48pm
pierre:

Bonjour King Penguin !

(^ >^)
  3:49pm
Caryn:

Oh Glenn. Love Flight of the Conchords, but that may be partly because their Lord of the Rings and Muppet connections make it impossible for a little geek like me to dislike them...
@MT: no, but that sounds fabulous
  3:49pm
pierre:

6pm… or 9pm50, it is all the same :)
  3:50pm
pierre:

@MT and Caryn : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzJMnl085yI
this?
  3:51pm
glenn:

i loathe f.o.t.c.. and little britain, for that matter.
  3:53pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Happy new year Scott and all the listeners.
  3:55pm
Caryn:

@pierre: thanks for the link. Oh dear. But gotta say, even James Brown is not gonna make me believe that cup noodles are any good...
  3:55pm
pierre:

2012 resolution : try to listen to S. Williams show with headphones more.
  3:59pm
MT:

Was it Scott that played this thing a lot about people sharing a set of head phones and take a photograph? Anyone remember that? I seem to think it was Scott W but maybe not.
  4:03pm
MT:

No I think it was Ken that had the series of photographs with headphones sharing.
  4:06pm
King penguin:

Pierre, we ate playing in city saturday as part of a Keep Off the grass festival. Can you make it.
  4:09pm
pierre:

@King Penguin, well i'm in France, so althought i'd really really love to come across the Atlantic (which is in my plans anyway), i unfortunately, can't. Terribly sorry.
  4:12pm
T-Zero:

@kat330: It's stopped now, and nothing stuck. Probably the same tomorrow, though I wish it would accumulate and hide all the dead stuff.
  4:13pm
Ranks:

listening to music to stay out of snow in quebec city....
  4:15pm
pierre:

I love this right now.
  4:15pm
Jasperodus:

@TZ: Kat stepped into the kitchen. Glad of modern tech so we can at least pipe WFMU (or Radio Helsinki for that matter) into the stereo.
  4:15pm
T-Zero:

Nice mash of Brazilian guitar
  4:16pm
T-Zero:

@Jasperodus: Indeed!
  4:19pm
Looms:

@TZ: just committed the Wiki page for Columbus to memory so that I remember. I sometimes forget how huge your country is.
  4:21pm
Jasperodus:

This sounds an awful lot like Raincoats.
  4:22pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: Yes, I used to live in San Diego, and when I moved here it took about five days of steady day-time driving. My parents live in Indiana and that's a 3 hour drive for them to here.
  4:24pm
Bruce:

half my fucking papers have disappeared.
  4:26pm
kat330:

OK, dinner's baking in the oven. @TZ: Where in Indiana are your parents? I believe Columbus is maybe a 3-4 hour drive for us.
  4:27pm
Jasperodus:

Did your dog eat 'em?
  4:28pm
kat330:

@Bruce: I didn't know papers were required for that.
  4:28pm
kat330:

Catch the Wind, heh! One of the earliest sheet music pieces I played on the piano.
  4:30pm
kat330:

I mean, crap NOT "catch the wind" eeeesh, cast my fate to the wind...arrrrgh..
  4:34pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: btw... On the wiki page... just for an idea... the Lane Avenue Bridge is "A" on this map and I'm at "B" in the Olde Towne Columbus historic district.

@Kat330: They're in Albany.
  4:37pm
kat330:

@TZ: Really? Huh. North of Indianapolis I presume? We're in New Albany (Knob Knee) next to Louisville KY (Lullville). Small world.
  4:38pm
T-Zero:

@Kat: yes, about 13 miles ne of Muncie
  4:39pm
Bruce:

Happy new year to you and yours, Scott.
  4:40pm
kat330:

I sure hope you had a very good reason to leave San Diego for Ohio. I already escaped this place as a teen and hoping once again to escape.
  4:41pm
T-Zero:

@Kat: I miss it and did *really* hate to leave, but couldn't afford it any more
  4:43pm
kat330:

@TZ:Yeah, that's why I didn't return to L.A. when I got dumped back in the Midwest after a dozen years out there.
  4:44pm
Scott W:

thanks Bruce! to you too - I hope your fucking papers turn up. Hello Pittsburgh!
  4:44pm
Looms:

@TZ: here's a (soundless) video about my hometown by night. Looks a bit different now, tramway lines are in progress.
  4:45pm
Looms:

Oh, there's sound on it, sorry.
  4:46pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: I can mute the sound, but need the link ;)
  4:48pm
T-Zero:

@Looms: Jay (in London) and I were sharing photos one day and came to the conclusion his area in London and mine here looked very similar... it is, indeed, a small world.
  4:49pm
pierre:

is it ok to play internet video games w/ the sound of this show?
  4:51pm
anne:

Scott Williams, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
  4:53pm
Looms:

@TZ: sorry Sir! ;)

  4:54pm
pierre:

you lived in Brest Looms.?
  4:56pm
Scott W:

Hi Anne!! Happy new year to you, and thanks for the card!
  4:57pm
kat330:

"Brest is a city on the west Atlantic coast of France. It has a long history of navigation. There are very large tides here."
  4:58pm
kat330:

@Looms: Surfing, too?
  5:01pm
Looms:

@Pierre: I am living in Brest.
@Kat: nope but sailing sometimes.
  5:03pm
T-Zero:

@Looms. Thanks for the ride :) Unfortunately we're terribly land-locked except for the the two rivers. One of which is just a block west of me though, which makes for nice summer walks on the wooded trails.
  5:03pm
kat330:

Funny thing about searching for that Brest quote. Despite my correct spelling, Bing gave me back all top results for "breast."
  5:03pm
Ike:

@Pierre@4:49, I say yes. I recommend Snailiad for a great Metroid homage... with snails. Seriously.
  5:04pm
Looms:

@Kat: we all know what rules the world :D
  5:04pm
pierre:

@ Scott : is it one of the T. Coutler cassettes?
@Looms : sailing must be great sometimes.
@ kat330 : sounds exactly the same :)
  5:06pm
Jasperodus:

@Looms -- what @TZ said. Reminded me a lot of Helsinki, too -- same variety of stone buildings, cranes, neon, harbor, brick and wood.
  5:06pm
pierre:

@ Ike : many thanks, at the moment i played Ice Bite (on Nitrome), now i'm drawing, but totally check this snails story right after, the christmas holidays are not that far yet, snails will still do the trick.

@Scott : great show.
  5:07pm
Julie:

Saint Etienne? Wow so different
  5:07pm
Scott W:

Pierre, it is not - can't remember what blog I found it on, but I nabbed all 3 (4?) of their cassettes (this was their 1st). Husband/wife duo - Italian? Swiss? Can't remember -- all well worth seeking out!
  5:08pm
Julie:

or maybe I was hearing the last thing, the instrumental?
  5:10pm
Scott W:

probably the Saint Etienne Julie, this one's a bit atypical.
  5:10pm
Joe D.:

hey Scott, great show today!
  5:11pm
kat330:

@Looms: Well, we know what rules Bing's world anyway. :)
  5:11pm
Scott W:

oh, hey, danke joe d!
  5:11pm
Looms:

@TZ: the seashore is the reason why I decided to settle here for good. I just need the smell of the ocean.
@Jasperodus: Indeed, except for the temperature I guess. I've never been to Helsinki though.
  5:12pm
kat330:

Yes, Scott, thanks for the sounds!
  5:13pm
kat330:

This is like a theme song for Knob Knee.
  5:15pm
JT:

I need to stop using that cumbersome name (Jasperodus).
  5:16pm
T-Zero:

I'm still trying to figure out the significance of "if there's squirrels, a hundred bats "...
  5:16pm
kat330:

Yes, JT, easier for the good people.
  5:18pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

Happy new year, Scott! I just tuned in a few minutes ago. Good stuff, as usual!
  5:18pm
other david:

Is this the sequel to "The Gift"?
  5:19pm
MT:

this is from the heart
  5:20pm
Looms:

This Ravel's Bolero version always makes me look stupid when I dance to it :(
  5:20pm
pierre:

@ Scott : i've found it (the fondation horizon sans étiquette) merci, it's totally worth it. It says "Uncompromising space music from French duo Ivan Coaquette and Annanka Raghel"
  5:20pm
Scott W:

T-Zero, I must reveal since I ended up playing a different St Etienne track -- there's a loop in "she's the one" that goes "in this world of love gone bad". my 6-yr old daughter mis-heard it much better
  5:21pm
kat330:

@JT: And if there weren't so many posters with "kat" as some part of their name already, I'd lose the "330."
@TZ: Moi, aussi. Some connection between being squirrelly and being batty?
  5:22pm
Scott W:

glad you found it pierre! why didn't i remember they were french? always missing the obvious or something
  5:22pm
kat330:

@Scott W: Aha, and there's a bathroom on the right.
  5:23pm
George of Troy:

@ other david: It was reminding me of "The Gift" as well. The narrator's elocution was also similar to that of Cale.
  5:27pm
T-Zero:

@Scott: Thanks for clearing that up. I forget the song Julie was playing on 20 December, but I kept hearing them say "I love potatoes"...
  5:27pm
pierre:

well i guess obvious n'est pas toujours évident.
  5:30pm
R I S K Y:

GO SCOTT!
  5:30pm
T-Zero:

I think the song was Klein & Doof by Ede Und Die Zimmermaenner ... but not sure
  5:32pm
T-Zero:

No no no! That wasn't it....
  5:36pm
chris m.:

great scott, show! happy new year
  5:40pm
T-Zero:

Got it! "Spectators of Life" by the Names. "Spectators of love" turned into "I love potatoes"...
  5:42pm
T-Zero:

Unfortunately I don't have the excuse of being a six-year-old girl lol
  5:42pm
Scott W:

Thanks Chris M! Happiest new year on yr show pal - what a fuckin love fest, can we do that every week?
  5:46pm
Ike:

Good stuff today, Mr. Scott. Later!
  5:47pm
Scott W:

danke ike
  5:51pm
felipe:

All you need is WFMU
  5:52pm
other david:

really enjoyed the show, thanks :)
  5:53pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

This Roy Harper track provides the perfect ambience for this time of day, during this time of year. Just after dusk, on the first really cold day of winter. That's pretty magical.
  5:54pm
Jonny F:

Great set. Killed by Roy Harper.
  5:55pm
Looms:

Mellow and lovely ending. Thank you!
  5:56pm
Jonny F:

Uhhhh...I don't mean the set was killed by Roy Harper. I was killed...in a good way. Happy New Year!
  5:56pm
kat330:

Yes, very sweet dessert to end with. Thanks!
  5:56pm
Scott W:

thanks much all o'ye! (Jonny F, got it); stay tuned for Michele...
  5:57pm
T-Zero:

Enjoyed the show, Scott. Thanks!
  5:57pm
JT:

Great show, good comments too, thanks all!
