Tonite here outdoors they're gonna have an evening of cat videos. It should be awesome. BYOB. On faceborg a thousand people have said they're coming. There's a warning that there's only gonna be two porta-potties. Naturally someone asked about the sand beach. Expect hilarity to ensue.

Julie:

you have to wonder if there was some sort of underground trading of kitty videos before the net
  5:08am
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, '68 is the earliest Jennifer Warnes I've heard! She sounds like a European chanteuse here.
  5:08am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

Grainy sixth generation VHS copies of Keyboard Cat.
  5:09am
fred von helsing:

My cat would have been an internet phenom, he loved fetching paper wads
  5:09am
Matt from Springfield:

@Julie,BGZ: Bootleg tuxedo cat dancing vids, paper mail-order catalogs before the Net.
Avatar 5:10am
Julie:

I want to see the earliest kitty video! Some home movie from 1915! @Matt she was just Jennifer back then
  5:10am
fred von helsing:

@BGZ Pirated movies in the USSR mostly had Finnish subtitles cos people in Tallinn were picking them up from Helsinki (grainy yes), it was quite a pipeline of evil Western action-adventure propaganda
Avatar 5:10am
Julie:

@Matt seek out her appearances on Smothers Brothers on youtube..they are fabulous
  5:11am
fred von helsing:

Before keyboard cat there was player piano cat. He had it relatively easy.
Avatar 5:12am
Julie:

harpsichord cat?
  5:14am
Marmalade Kitty:

I listened to 2 lush albums in a row lastnight.. I feel a bit funny today, this morning!
  5:14am
Matt from Springfield:

@FVH: Fascinating about underground pipelines. "Red Heat", finally bringing freedom to the Soviet Union!

I'm sure there have been player piano and harpsichord cats--it's called owners getting drunk at parties and amusing everyone by placing their cat on the keyboard!
  5:15am
pierre:

here, i'm switching to listener listener mode.
  5:16am
Matt from Springfield:

The question is the earliest film--search the records of Edison's Black Maria films. (The first "porn" film was apparently his employees doing a dirty parody of another early film in their spare time!)

MK Split and Spooky?

You know the first person to put adhesive tape on their cat's paws captured that moment of hilarity on home movie.
  5:21am

of course everyone knows that Miki Lush was in a Bond film

@OD: It's a good sign, that the fans of this music are also extremely witty! Double bonus for those who attend live! :)
Avatar 5:22am
Julie:

I've seen you guys in action on UWTP, it gets pretty nutty
  5:22am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

Somebody used a PXL-2000 camera to document their cat's shenanigans with a laserdisc.
  5:25am
Matt from Springfield:

@OD: That reminds me, I was going to refer you to Booker T & the MGs "Tic-Tac-Toe" -- see what that music spells in Morse code! Devo's "Snowball" is another good one to check out.
  5:27am
Marmalade Kitty:

@Matt, It starts off that way, then o.O I fancied a bit of lush, typed lush into itunes, then fell asleep.. woke up 2hrs later with lush on loop :..quite depressing!
  5:28am
Matt from Springfield:

Noooo! Don't go yet!!!
  5:29am
Marmalade Kitty:

I looked at the clock..? Julie!
  5:29am
Matt from Springfield:

Whew! Merely a bed rotational!
(Is that like a "musical beds", but switching the BEDS instead of the people? :)
  5:30am
fred von helsing:

MORE CAT SONGS PLEASE :-P
  5:30am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

I looked at the clock, too.

Then I was concerned that you were too sick to carry on. I hope all is ok,
  5:32am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

3AD aka 1 B44AD???
  5:32am
Matt from Springfield:

@Julie: It's a shock, but it's important to switch up every so often, so we don't become strongly fixated on routines!
  5:33am
Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: YES! :D

@Kitty: That's subliminal Lush, it can now influence your thinking without you being aware of just how!
  5:35am
Bas, NL:

What a great new Dead Can Dance!! Thanks for playing.

"If You Could Read My Mind"...
You've played that actually, not Gordon Lightfoot but Olivia's cover.
  5:42am
Matt from Springfield:

@OD: Thanks! Also, those are just great songs to begin with, so you should have a lot of fun with them!
  5:45am

hair of the lush..?

WFMU Request Line:

hey this stuff is bumming me out can you play some KC and the Sunshine Band?
  5:46am
Matt from Springfield:

Like this version, another one you've played before.

I wondered where Tel Basta came from with a name like that, apparently: "Defunct American trio which started out as experimental outfit Bast and then changed its name and style as well."
  5:46am
other david:

A lot of the time, they're just random characters in songs - the artist just likes the sound rather than trying to convey a message

But Kraftwerk actually knew what they were doing :)
  5:46am
Matt from Springfield:

@requester: There's a DJ Battle later this afternoon, Clay Pigeon should be digging some out then!
  5:49am

@ Matt : DJ battle, like in Clay Vs Fabio battle ?

Marmalade Kitty:

nice cover!

Many Europeans on the board tonight, but all seemingly from *different* countries!

Since I have an "Italian roast" coffee and Italy is unrepresented, I'll fill in as delegate for Italy! Ciao! ;)

Matt from Springfield:

Oui pierre! I think it's later, like 4:30 to 7 (10:30 on your time), but today is supposed to be the day.
