I see you're a regular now on Thursdays. I should pay more attention to the schedule. Glad to hear you resolved your technical issues preventing you from worldwide airwave domination.

Did they make this record by disassembling old Soft Machine records and recombining the parts?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Charlie:

Yes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:18pm pacific standard simon:

Great to have you back, Charlie. I might have to start asking for Thursdays off from work, again.

Me too, Simon. Oh wait, I am off! Glad to be back :)

Choo Choo Charlie is driving the stream engine!

You can never step into the same audio stream twice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm Uncle Michael:

Good morning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38pm Charlie:

Hello Doug and Uncle Michael.
Listening Out There: No, but you can step into the same archive twice. Although I guess you'd be different...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm Uncle Michael:

The sea refuses no stream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Mike East:

tuned in and digging.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Mike East:

er..I guess wading, if we're going with stream metaphors.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Mike East:

or splashing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm Uncle Michael:

Up the stream without a poodle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm Artie Haywire:

Pool noodles offer decent flotation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Charlie:

Hi Mike East, nice to see you dipping your toe in the stream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Charlie:

Never go upstream without a poodle guide!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm Uncle Michael:

This is not shit stream...that we're up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm listener james from westwood:

Just poodlin' around, busily doing nothing.
  12:49pm Joe McG:

Wow, Charlie, thanks for reminding me about this amazing version of "Nature Boy"!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:50pm listener james from westwood:

My mom, frustrated by being born a bit too early for the Great San Francisco Acid Wave, always lovingly referred to her as "Gracie Slick."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:52pm Uncle Michael:

I was born too late to be one of Eden Ahbez' buddies.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:52pm Charlie:

Hi Joe! I told you you'd be reunited with sumpin.
James, I bet Gracie's mom called her Gracie too.
Avatar 12:53pm Carmichael:

I was 10 years old during the summer of love. In SF, no less.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm Charlie:

Hi Holly! See you later.
Out There, thanks for calling me back.
Carmichael, I was 9, living in NYC. So does that mean you weren't at the Monterey Pop Festival?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Uncle Michael:

I never made it. I couldn't get my chakras aligned at Eselan in time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:11pm Charlie:

Didn't they have a chakra alignment booth there?
Avatar 1:12pm Carmichael:

Little too young, Charlie. Though I did see Santana and Hendrix (not together) in Golden Gate Park via my older brother and sister.
Avatar 1:12pm duke:

I had my chakras aligned. The ride is much smoother now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13pm Charlie:

The next song is for all of you who missed the summer of love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13pm Charlie:

Or who miss the summer of love.

Vis-à-vis summer of love and the extended season of experience-sampling, let us repost the recent George Clinton quote that was referenced in comments yesterday: "If it weren't for flashbacks I wouldn't have no memory at all."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm Brian in UK:

ndbob. Good holiday? Just got a new wireless router, better signal.
Avatar 1:34pm ndbob:

I certainly have an invisible friend:)
Avatar 1:35pm ndbob:

Avatar 1:37pm βrian:

Is your cat gray, then?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm listener james from westwood:

Spaulding! Hello, kitty!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm Brian in UK:

Three cheers for Captain Spalding.
Avatar 1:40pm βrian:

I had a dear cat with 24 toes. Real catcher's mitts. Spaulding would've been an apt name for her.
Avatar 1:46pm ndbob:

wow Brian
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:47pm listener james from westwood:

There's polydactyl, and then there's hyperdactyl.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm Charlie:

Well hi Bob and Brian and Brian.
Yes, Spalding is grey.
He had a sister named Ashley, after Robert Ashley.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:51pm Charlie:

Stay tuned y'all for Matt Fiveash, next, at 2pm. Here's his playlist: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm listener james from westwood:

Somewhere between yesterday and today, the station silent-fundraiser total went up an extra click. Good on ya, pledgers!
Avatar 1:54pm still b/p:

Vis-à-vis an invisible friend, I just reheard this story this week:
Someone I know was looking for a psychic during a New Orleans visit. She spotted an interesting character-candidate in the street, but did not approach or make contact. The same street character then came and found the surprised woman at a club and told her she had a twin. Inquiries later at home revealed to her for the first time that in-utero signs and sounds of a twin were present during mother's pregnancy, but had vanished, and a solo birth occurred. The New Orleans moment and this new info came up when the woman had already been working and reworking a script about having a twin, without having a specific reason for the persistent grip of the story premise. She says more than one stranger approached her after this and reported seeing or sensing the presence of a twin/companion next to her.
I ain't never had no invisible friend like that.
Avatar 1:56pm βrian:

Was Ashley from Ann Arbor, then?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Charlie:

cool story, still b/p
nope, brian!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Charlie:

See you next time! Thanks for joining me today.
