I'm hearing voices. Some say "chicken kebab," some say "bibimbap burrito." Others are carrying on about Szechuan shrimp with peanuts.

@ βrian, those voices are not wrong. Listen to some for lunch or dinner, others for lunch tomorrow!
@Mike, I'll help out for those dumplings.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie. Cannot escape Los Lobos today. No bad thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Mike East:

Los Lobos is doing a few nights at City Winery starting Saturday, I believe. We are providing backline

Oh, hayy, Frensheee!
Hola, Mike East.
Brian in UK...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm listener james from westwood:

annie, that Simpsons special was a blast. It's been a long time since I've watched regularly, but it was great to hear the discussion of the classic eps, characters, and background/commentary from the DVDs.

Thanks for the Nichols & May! Really a cut above so much other comedy records.
Avatar 1:06pm ndbob:

I haven't watched anything for quite a while..

as I think I've mentioned here, my parents saw Nichols and may in their early days
Avatar 1:07pm annie:

N&May!!! right up there with B&Ray!!

Wow, ndbob -- would've been cool to see N&M.

I saw a lot of Mal Sharpe on TV in the Bay Area in the 80s. Didn't put 2+2 together until this playlist. D'oh!

That movie that Elaine May directed, A New Leaf, starring her and Walter Matthau, is one of my favorite movies.

I'm bitter about any Seth Rogan "vehicle". Hence the snarkiness ...

Did Raymond Scott ever do a Christmas "album"?… Irwin would know...

Cool, Charlie. I'm really enjoying your show, as always.

yeah, Carmichael. The mouth on that guy...I'm no prude, but to me, cursing every other word shows lack of class and intelligence.
Avatar 1:33pm chromaphone:

I agree with the ambivalence about Rogan. Just don't think he is funny
Avatar 1:34pm annie:

crickey, thanks for the warning!!!

Hi also schmutz and chromaphone

HI Charlie, I think this is my first time listening. Great stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm listener james from westwood:

I hadn't even heard about the film until the recent kerfuffle. Not a filmmaker on my radar. He doesn't make films for my type.
  1:42pm Santos L halper:

Don't worry about The Interview. Looks like no one will be seeing it anyway, at least not until/if it goes straight to video/cable.

Enjoying the tunes Charlie!

I forgot to say hello, Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm listener james from westwood:

On the whole, vs. today's big-release Hollywood product, you're almost always better off with a documentary. Indie films and docs rule everything around me.
Avatar 1:46pm annie:

suggest you see "field full of secrets" in hulu or itunes if you can; soon to come to netflix... it's a very quirky film about crop circles.. my son is editor and producer.. he took on the project last year.. it's very good..not your normal cropcircle film
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:47pm listener james from westwood:

You had me at crop circles.

Avatar 2:02pm Carmichael:

Annie, I will check that movie out! Doug, pretty soon, I'll be the only person without a show ... Charlie, thanks for the great music!
Avatar 2:02pm Michael:

Thanks Charlie – I think I starred almost every tune. That’s a good thing, right?
See you next week – I’ll be cooking and most likely drinking during your show.

Looking forward to all of those activities.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:04pm Charlie:

Thanks, Michael. I won't be cooking. Drinking, maybe...
