Busy doing proofreading and copyediting, but emerging from the word-filled mist to say howdy to Charlie and all!!

Hah. Just listened to Marc last night. Never get tired of him.

Well, hey there, Michael.

hey folks. love the artwork today.

I've been following Eugenia on Tumblr for the past couple weeks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:08pm Charlie:

Hi Steve. Me too! Eugenia Loli does amazing collages. Follow the link to her pages -- you could spend the next two hours blissing out on her work :)
  12:08pm jan:

Listening in.
  12:09pm Listening Out There:

I like the artwork too...had recently set up an RSS feed to it, which shows she's been crankin' it out lately. Her Tumblr is worth a look if you haven't seen it...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm pacific standard simon:

She's always just that awesome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm Charlie:

Hello Jan.
Hi PSSimon. If you and I are following her, that means she's 'trending'
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:10pm Charlie:

@Listening Out There: I've noticed that increased volume lately. She's really on a roll.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:11pm tikk:

Solace is the reason I watch The Sting every time it's on. So much beautiful sadness.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:11pm doctorjazz:

OK...lovely, but I need to nap now, check in later...
Avatar 12:12pm northguineahills:

This Joplin is lovely.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Charlie:

Hi tikk,
It is a beautifully sad number. Haven't seen the film in so long that I no longer associate the Joplin pieces with it!
  12:13pm b may:

Ya Charlie! Good sift!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm listener james from westwood:

Yes! I think this was on the single they released of "The Entertainer" back in the day. I know I heard this coming out of a jukebox in the early-ish 70s. Used to pester my parents for change to play it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Charlie:

seeya dr jazz
Hello NGH! and welcome b may. glad to see you both
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm listener james from westwood:

Wow, took a while for the fact that this is "Fernando" to sink in. Excellent.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:16pm Charlie:

James -- funny to think of that song on the jukebox, and of you pestering your parents for change to play it!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:16pm doctorjazz:

Love the slide trumpet Steve Bernstein plays here
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Charlie:

James -- well it kicks in here loud and clear
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm tikk:

It covers the mostly otherwise-silent part where the very lonely Robert Redford knocks on the apartment door of the diner waitress (who later turns out to be pro hit-woman Loretta Solino) and more or less invites himself in.
Avatar 12:17pm Carmichael:

This sounds like the sloppiest drunkenest song ever. I love it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Charlie and fellow Nothingdoers!
Avatar 12:18pm steve:

whoaa thanks Charlie! these are unbelievable.
  12:19pm βrian:

Fellow nihilists!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:19pm Charlie:

Ah, yes, tikk, it all comes back now.
Hiya Doug! Thought you said "north"ing doers.
Avatar 12:20pm still b/p:

It'd also be great if played in spangly ABBA stage outfits that are all askew, damaged, slightly singed and falling off.
The world is busy, but not doing nothing...doing plenty. Mike Nichols passing on; 5 feet of Buffalo snow, so far; and a gunman at FSU where a member of my family only recently arrived to teach. Odd swirl of news.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm listener james from westwood:

@still b/p: Good call re: that tipsy "Fernando." Or maybe on the deck of the Titanic!
  12:24pm oks:

still b/p:love ABBA outfits idea!!!
  12:25pm sugarwolf:

Hello! I am busy doing organizing at work

Happy to hear you again, Charlie!

hello oks, sugarwolf, and glenn --
still b/p -- hope your family member is ok
  12:39pm Asher:

Good stuff...got you on the tunein app...phone, Nook and Roku.
Avatar 12:40pm still b/p:

Thanks. Don't think the 3 wounded have been identified, but all were apparently students, not faculty. Saw a story that said one kid in flight from scene only discovered at home that books in his backpack stopped a bullet. 14th century philosopher John Wyclif has great power.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40pm Charlie:

Hi Asher -- thanks for tuning me in three ways!
  12:41pm Asher:

Also the mp3 stream on PC.
Avatar 12:41pm βrian:

William Shatner is our Serge Gainsbourg.
  12:45pm sugarwolf:

ßrian, that's a scary comparison/thought
Avatar 12:45pm Carmichael:

Early Colin Blunstone ...
Avatar 12:46pm northguineahills:

I was going to say that Shatner actually wasn't that bad.
  12:54pm Listening Out There:

Recommended Chet Atkins: "Chester & Lester." The album has Atkins with Les Paul. Good fun. I think Charlie's played stuff from it in the past...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm listener james from westwood:

That Charlotte Hatherley track was indeed lovely. Reminded me of the Gender Bias segment Irwin used to run, 1 hour of all-female vocalists. Charlotte would've fit right in there.
Avatar 12:58pm ndbob:

indeed James
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm Brian in UK:

Well hey diddly dee, a listeners life for me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm Brian in UK:

Eno zings.
Avatar 1:05pm still b/p:

Yah, zings und makes mit der knob getwiddlen.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:06pm listener james from westwood:

Aw yiss. In my head, this Os Mutantes track was playing over the end credits of "Sex and Broadcasting." It's like the gateway drug for pulling folks into the station's range of music.
Avatar 1:06pm glenn:

buffalo is basically beirut with snow right now. nobody can go anywhere, nor should they. yet the bills, in their infinite greed, are offering people 10 bones an hour, and free tickets to sunday's game, if they will shovel out the 220,000 tons of snow inside ralph wilson stradium. morons.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Charlie:

Listening Out There -- I don't have that album -- will have to hunt it down.
Howdy Brian in UK.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm Charlie:

Glenn -- I'm goin' to Buffalo to make some shovelin' money! Who's with me?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Brian in UK:

The Bees from The Isle of Wight (small island off the English south coast) do a very passable cover of A Minha Menina
Avatar 1:09pm glenn:

ummm. how are you going to get there?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Brian in UK:

Charlie Plough
Avatar 1:11pm still b/p:

Buffalo gal won't you dig out tonight, dig out tonight...
Avatar 1:13pm ndbob:

Good song Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm Charlie:

Helicopter drop, Glenn.
Yeah, that's a digger, Bob.
Avatar 1:17pm βrian:

Love this S.A. noise.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Brian in UK:

Charlie, is it a bass kazoo you used on four songs?
Avatar 1:19pm Carmichael:

Even in Buffalo, they sell these devices called "snow plouws". Everyone say it with me, "sssnnnnoooowwww" Pllllowwwwwsssss .....".
Avatar 1:20pm steve:

ha! thought this was the Madvillain rap that sampled this for second.
Avatar 1:20pm Carmichael:

Hey now, Hank Kingsley!

LEGO. The universe is made out of super-tiny LEGO.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21pm pacific standard simon:

Do WHAT to the engineer?!
Avatar 1:22pm glenn:

yeah, but they can't plow from the inside of the city. they have to start on the outskirts and plow in. that's how much snow there is.
Avatar 1:22pm βrian:

It would have to be crochet-covered legos for the hipsters.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm Brian in UK:

Let's see the bluddy leaf blowers deal with that, glenn.
Avatar 1:24pm still b/p:

Legos locally molded from sustainably produced plastic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm Brian in UK:

Is that a bowed saw?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:27pm Parq:

Liked that Evangenitals song. Enjoying the Roches number too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm listener james from westwood:

Q. No butt? How does he sit?!
A. Terribly.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:28pm doctorjazz:

Nobody plays the Roche sisters these days, nice.
Avatar 1:28pm βrian:

We can always depend on the Roches for a dose of gravitas.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm Brian in UK:

@doctorjazz Irwin played The Roches yesterday, fourth track up.
  1:36pm Asher:

Roches skewer a sayng that truly deserves it IMHO.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm Charlie:

Brian - ha ha! regular kazoo!
Roches synchronicity mind meld.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm Brian in UK:

Is this Ron Nagorcka?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Doug Schulkind:

Tubby Hayes!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Brian in UK:

Sorry, Tony C played a version on Tuesday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Brian in UK:

Are we streaming HIM/HER?
