i had to clean the fridge BEFORE the show cause the music is way in the living room.. whew!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:47am Charlie:

oh, ha! I'd forgotten the answer. Now no one needs to listen today.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49am Charlie:

I had to google HHGTTG, wasn't familiar with the acronym for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

We've got towel-monster continuity from Joe McG's show today!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:32pm listener james from westwood:

(Or at least that's what I called them as a kid; they looked like facecloths to me.)
Avatar 12:32pm βrian:

I'm surprised they haven't mentioned the gravity!
Avatar 12:36pm βrian:

Love that guitar glitter refrain.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm listener james from westwood:

Damn, I did not know that re: static. Fascinating!

Late Hullo to Steve, Dominick, Artie (Haywire!)

ATTA BOY< Hawking! (and Listener James from Westwood)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm Charlie:

Frenchee! Which one?
Hi Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm Jeff Golick:

So so good. The R!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:52pm Charlie:

Looks good, Henry! Too bad Hawking didn't have these choices when they fixed him up with his talk-box.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Webhamster Henry:

He actually has a problem that his box is way out of date, and people associate his voice with that particular model. There is another project that seeks to build individualized voices for people who cannot make articulated vocal sounds: www.nidcd.nih.gov...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm Webhamster Henry:

I hope you are going to take a detour to the "Future" section of Sinatra's Trilogy album.
  12:58pm frenchee:

@Charlie: The Ryan Hardy "Inter-Galactic In-Flight Enetertainment"
"if Mars had life on it, I'd find my wife on it"--best BW lyric ever!
  12:59pm frenchee:

oops, "I *might* find my wife"--quote correct!

Where's that funny Jupiter/stupider line from? Or is it a Charlie original?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm listener james from westwood:

Yeah, that's what the Fungi from Yuggoth said, and boom, zam, suddenly you're a brain in a metal cylinder hurtling toward Pluto.
Avatar 1:19pm annie:

Ah, thanks. The genius of playground rhymes! Some folklorist should compile them.
Avatar 1:30pm northguineahills:

Wasn't that Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra track sampled by Portishead.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm listener james from westwood:

NGH, that would explain why I felt a stirring in the Portis-Force earlier. (And Charlie, gratz for the "Dummy" track last programme!)
  1:37pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Charlie et al. Enjoying it all. Thanks for the Easy Rider ST.
Avatar 1:38pm northguineahills:

Well, this explains a lot about People Like Us....

Gotta luv the English accent!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Uncle Michael:

Who stole what? I had my earpiece out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm Parq:

That was adorable. Reminds me of that old track of Viv Stanshel's kid singing Slade. ("That's itt. That woz moy Slyde sowng!")
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm Uncle Michael:

I keep Lester's book on the nightstand.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm listener james from westwood:

That Bangs comp is an annual reread in this house. The Lou Reed duels and the extended Clash tour diary are two amazing documents.

Good old Jonathan, still good even after becoming an NPR regular...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:46pm Uncle Michael:
