afternoon Charlie and everyone!
Avatar 12:00pm bobdoesthings:

Hey Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:02pm Charlie:

Hi Doyle (if you're still here), Hi Michael, Bobs ND and DoesThings.
Avatar 12:03pm thatpatsmith:

Charlie!
  12:04pm Listening Out There:

At Microsoft once, I saw a poster with Steve Balmer in it. Someone added to it in felt pen "Hey, kids...it's Uncle Fester!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm Charlie:

Hi thatpat and Listening --
Had to google a pic of Balmer, but I see the resemblance.
Avatar 12:11pm Carmichael:

Hiya Charlie. I was gonna ask how you would top Root Boy Slim from McGasko's show, but you did it quite well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Parq:

Hearing Kristy MaColl always makes me a little sad. All deaths before one's time are sad, but hers was practically murder. And she died in the act of saving her kid. Brutal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm listener james from westwood:

In from the start, Chaz, but busy with various things. Happy to have Nothing while I'm busy doing!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Charlie:

Hi Carm., Parq, LJfW --
Yes, Parq, her death was particularly sad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:22pm Pseu Braun:

Tuning in now! Great to hear muh Chizz-mo! xo
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:26pm Charlie:

How-day, Pseu!
  12:37pm Listening Out There:

Sounds like da Doopies...?
  12:37pm Listening Out There:

(Wrong-o!)
  12:41pm doyle:

i come and go! i'm a bdn butterfly
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:43pm Brian C.:

I like this George stuff!
  12:45pm doyle:

is it just me or is fester dancing to this?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm Charlie:

Out There -- good call, though :)
Doyle -- gather some pollen hither and yon
Brian C -- me too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Charlie:

Unk has got the beat, Doyle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Charlie:

Post-Wayne County Electric Chairs split, btw.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm Brian C.:

I used to have some speakers that lit up and flashed to the beat
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Charlie:

Now they've got an app for that, Brian.
Avatar 12:52pm steve:

i just finished We Got The Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of LA Punk. the writers of that book sure thought Kim Fowley was a creepy dude.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:53pm drr:

New Wire? Next you're gonna tell me The Sonics put out an album of new material and it's actually good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Charlie:

from new Wire album, due out next week: pinkflag.greedbag.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm listener james from westwood:

80s Pointer Sisters getting some love here. And on this side, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

drr -- the last few Wire albums have been really great, actually.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm Uncle Michael:

Digging the electric boogaloo, Charlie.
Avatar 1:02pm bobdoesthings:

the medium is the massage
Avatar 1:02pm Oh Yes:

There's no such thing as too much Bruce Haack.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm Charlie:

Now we have two Uncles here -- Michael and Fester!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm Charlie:

Oh Yes, you are correct.
Avatar 1:06pm Oh Yes:

+ I'll have to hunt down that Android Sisters album. I love the concept and I'm a sucker for anything Philip K. Dick-related.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Uncle Michael:

I tend to fester.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm Charlie:

I'm a bit fetid myself.
Avatar 1:13pm Carmichael:

Yay, this is your Captain speaking. This is a great album.
Avatar 1:14pm βrian:

What happens when a bee eats beans?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

(I'll bite) What happens, Brian?
Avatar 1:17pm βrian:

Dunno. It was a question scribbled on a found grocery list.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm Mike East:

I've got some beans for lunch. No bees around, though.
Avatar 1:19pm βrian:

"Was you ever bit by a bee?"
Avatar 1:20pm Oh Yes:

I've seen horses vomit, but I've never heard a bee fart.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm Charlie:

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee...
Avatar 👻 1:22pm Snortley:

When a bee eats beans, it goes from bee stings to bee stinks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm Uncle Michael:

Brian's channeling Walter.
Avatar 1:22pm βrian:

@OYes: you may be on to something. "Safe as milk" was an item on that grocery list.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm listener james from westwood:

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are that rare gift that keeps on giving as you grow up and revisit them after you first saw them as a grade schooler. Not everything keeps as well (not even everything from that show!).
Avatar 1:24pm βrian:

Five espressos (esspressi?) so far today. Gotta feed that alien.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

Hi, Janis, Floyd, Animal...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

βrian -- I think I feel you vibrating from here.
Avatar 1:27pm βrian:

Vibrato cantabile ...
  1:27pm Listening Out There:

Alex Chilton...?
  1:28pm frenchee:

OH that Princey=Prince, followed by Alexei/Alex~ all is well in Electric Land.
Avatar 1:30pm Carmichael:

Playing quietly in the background, I thought this was the Bonzos' Piggybank Love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Charlie:

Hi there, Frenchee!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:31pm Charlie:

OK, I'll say it first: This song sounds like a sideways version of "The Beat Goes on" -- anyone?
  1:31pm Listening Out There:

Charlie: Agreed.
  1:36pm frenchee:

HI CHARLIE
yes, I got Beat Goes On vibe....
Avatar 1:36pm bobdoesthings:

I can't remember the last time I did the resurrection
Avatar 1:45pm glenn:

gary numan never sounded so good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:46pm listener james from westwood:

This Numan cut is like my one-song soundtrack for the Gibson cyberpunk future and its associated progeny.
Avatar 1:50pm glenn:

my cat likes big electric cat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm Charlie:

Numan stills sounds effectively futuristic.
Avatar 1:53pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
  1:54pm frenchee:

yes, what @ndbob said!
HEADS we all win!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm Charlie:

Thanks, Bob, frenchee.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55pm Parq:

It'll be over in a minute or two. Or five.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55pm Charlie:

I want to read the book Jonathan Lethem wrote on this album in the 33 1/3 series.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Webhamster Henry:

"I'm charged up" -- Uncle Fester.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Charlie:

lol, Henry!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Charlie:

"Electricity -- That's what I call it!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58pm Webhamster Henry:

I guess there's no time for Electric Avenue, is there?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:59pm Webhamster Henry:

That's what I get for going out to lunch.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:00pm listener james from westwood:

Charlie, I always get a charge out of your show. Thanks for keeping us all current!
  2:00pm Listening Out There:

Bye! And thanks...
Avatar 2:01pm Michael:

Thanks Charlie !
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks for squeezing out sparks, Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01pm Charlie:
