Not shaking but am vibrating for some reason. Hiya Charlie!
  12:03pm R. THOrnton:

hi hi charlie
  12:05pm r. THOrnton:

btw, i think the Lizards got one of the lines in Tutti Frutti wrong - the correct line is "i got a girl named Daisy/she ALWAYS drives me crazy." right?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:05pm charlie:

greetings, michael, r thornton.
vamos todos a bailar!
  12:06pm victor G:

Malas Amistades sounds amazingly like Aib's Gallo Bueno band
  12:09pm Wendy del Formaggio:

CHARLIE! Happy Thursday to you and the listeners.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:10pm charlie:

How is Aib doing, Victor? Gallo Bueno still around?
Morning, Wendy!
  12:17pm listener 108365 in bushwood:

thursday's gotten bouncy. gimme alittle sign is something I grooved to as a kid, but who the hell is Brenton Woods?
  12:19pm listener 108365 in bushwood:

did he found the IMF and the world bank?
  12:22pm listener james from westwood:

ah, i recall this cut as the bed music of the old audio chatroom FMU show.
  12:23pm r. THOrnton:

bretton woods was where the imf was born in 1944
  12:28pm listener james from westwood:

also usually used as shorthand for the monetary policy that arose from the '44 meeting, most notably for the dollar-to-gold convertibility.
  12:30pm victor G:

Gallo Bueno as well as a big band version still around & recording. I'll send you links.
  12:30pm Michael:

I did a Bretton Woods double-take when I first discovered Brenton Wood. What a sweet voice. Had him on my marathon premium last year.
  12:33pm Michael:

I did in '84! Might go again if I can.
  12:35pm listener james from westwood:

brenton wood is indeed the gold standard.
  12:36pm i've been here, just busy doing nothing,:

a.
  12:41pm victor G:

For minimalist roots, you can always go back to Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy W. etc.
  12:41pm Wendy del Formaggio:

I'd also (heart) a party with a monkey kitty.
  12:42pm a.:

hey wendy!

  1:33pm ndbob:

I saw the Digable Planets in 2005
  1:34pm Brian en Angleterre:

Hey Charlie, you've seen me dancing then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:35pm charlie:

Not saying anything against Rick (if that's what you're referring to, Brian), just that the productions are so BIG!
  1:36pm r. THOrnton:

el baz is el BAD! (in a good way of course)
  1:42pm sing along with mitch:

thinking of converting to zruism
  1:42pm Brian en Angleterre:

Yeah Stock, Aitken & Waterman were responsible for those production values, if that is the correct term.
  1:44pm seang:

for some reason I had a premonition that a song off of Green by REM was going to come on
  1:44pm listener james from westwood:

for some reason i find myself whistling erasure's "chorus" along with "bad worn thing." just felt they'd mash up well.
  1:45pm listener james from westwood:

hah, didn't mean to echo your post opener. that's a crazy coincidence!
  1:46pm seang:

yeah man that was weird! I was going to post earlier but decided not to
  1:48pm Wendy del Formaggio:

I love Marc Almond!
  1:48pm pgw in mntclr:

in '81-82, as a 7 year old, i taped this soft cell song off the radio. i got sucked in by the laser-gun sounds in the beginning.
