I'm loving those Mike Sammes Singers a whole bushel o' biscuits-worth.

Cant get to your page via the FMU homepage ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm Charlie:

Hi Carmichael -- I just made the link a minute ago -- forgot at start of show -- try now!
  12:16pm Carmichael:

Nope, its not refreshing. Can't find back door, either.

Liked that Land of the Loops a whole lot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:20pm Uncle Michael:

Don't get outer my ear, Charlie.
Avatar 12:21pm Carmichael:

I figured out another way in, so finally hello. SM Ken, if the page is broken, take it down and fix it. GTDR is getting screwed over in this iteration.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm Charlie:

Hi Parq -- that's an old fave from around when I started doing shows at 'FMU, 1996.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm Charlie:

How about outer my head, @Uncle Michael?

You outer know better, Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm -Ken:

Sorry about the problems Carmichael, it's not so easy to go back and forth between versions of the homepage. We're trying to fix all the bugs as quickly as we can.
Avatar 12:35pm Carmichael:

Thanks for letting me vent, Ken.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm Charlie:

Maybe we need a brain redesign?

Petra-fied!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm -Ken:

Another way in is from the top navigation bar:
Listen --> Give the Drummer Radio --> GTDR Weekly schedule.
Also, GTDR will have its own homepage soon so this will all be moot.

I remember a guy from the Anita Kerr singers in the song-poem documentary "Off the Charts". He was kind of a jerk ...

Ken, don't forget to put in the appropriate redirects for outdated URLs.

Brian - pleas email me with any bad URLs you find: ken at wfmu dot org
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm Gaylord Fields:

@Charlie: I suppose because all those Anita Kerr/Mike Sammes/Swingle Singers-type vocalizing groups are always chanting "doo-doo-doo," that's why they call it scat singing.

Gaylord, you're ready for a stint at Kutchers!
  12:59pm Ike:

GTDR having its own homepage is a nice idea but having something on the main FMU site flagging openly (not just on mouse-over) that there's a live show on GTDR w/a live playlist is essential for pulling across listeners who wouldn't otherwise know IMHO. Just my 2 pesos.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:00pm Gaylord Fields:

@Charlie: I gotta million of 'em!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:01pm Gaylord Fields:

And I would think atrocious wordplay is welcome on any Doug Schulkind–curated stream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:02pm Charlie:

I don't mean to be didactic or facetious in any way, but I watched Broadway Danny Rose the other night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:02pm Gaylord Fields:

I took what you say as 100% compliment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm Charlie:

Atrocious wordplay is in my DNA. All punners are welcome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm Uncle Michael:

I'm unable to express myself without atrocious wordplay.
Avatar 1:05pm ndbob:

@you should see my rodent related puns Charlie - talk about atrocious - rat or wrong

Conversing with you is a long and winding rodent, bob!

Did I hear that these guys are touring with Brian Wilson right now?
  1:15pm gary mitchell:

they are indeed and doing a fine job
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm Charlie:

Hi Gary -- heard it from you the other night :)
Would love to see them live.

Hello everybody. Glad to be in the World of a Thousand Rim-Shots! Now lets Schmaltz n'Roll!!
  1:19pm jan:

Shapes of Things- the anthem for many years in my youth!
Avatar 1:19pm still b/p:

Thought for a moment it was the piece included in the Almost Famous soundtrack...but the Rise riff, I learned, is "modeled on Carl Wilson's 'Feel Flows' "
  1:20pm Listening Out There:

Ooh. A different release of "Shapes of Things." Not the 45. Yay.
Avatar 1:23pm βrian:

Ah, Ann Arbor.
Avatar 1:24pm ndbob:

Heya Gary!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm Charlie:

Hello Kevin! -- That would be Schlock and Roll ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:27pm Charlie:

@still b/p -- ah, that is a connection I didn't make, will have to go check Feel Flows.
  1:29pm gary mitchell:

heya ndbob... just finishing lunch - Mice Krispies
  1:32pm Listening Out There:

Saw Weber play this years back. Used a cello shaped a bit like a plank. Six strings, maybe?
Avatar 1:32pm ndbob:

@Gary don't eat them around Vlada:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:35pm Charlie:

LOT -- yeah, he had some cool electric cellos.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:35pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Sorry Charlie. I reserve "Schlock" for Rex.
Avatar 1:35pm Carmichael:

Now THIS is Fleetwood Mac. My mom likes the OTHER Fleetwood Mac.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm KevinfromBayRidge:

If only "Classic Rockers" would catch on to THIS Fleetwood Mac.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Sorry Carm, Didn't see your comment when writing, although my mom isn't ANY FMac.
  1:41pm Katya Oddio:

My sentiments, too, The Special Pillow
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Uncle Michael:

I like all Fleetwood macs...but to varying degrees.
Avatar 1:43pm still b/p:

Would this Special Pillow vocalist be happy or offended if I said he has a slight Muppet quality?
  1:44pm Katya Oddio:

Very much in the vein of Jad Fair.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm Parq:

Oh, that gorgeous Bragg/Wilco album of Woody songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Uncle Michael:

Heading out shortly. Great show, Charlie. See you all again soon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm Charlie:

See you later, Uncle M -- thanks for dropping by.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm Charlie:

@Parq -- I believe there was a sequel too -- many good songs between the two albums :)

Also, if anyone wants to be on my e-mail list, drop a line through the link on my playlist homepage :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm listener james from westwood:

I always want to say the name of this song like Bugs Bunny, "Hey, Natchuh Boy!"
Glad to be here for the tunes, Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58pm Charlie:

thanks all,
tanks, james ;)
Avatar 1:59pm still b/p:

Working in a stage project several years ago, it took me a while to realize with surprise the music used before the show and between scenes was a few remixes of Nature Boy. Always thought it was strange interesting choice for reworking.
Avatar 2:00pm Mayuko:

Thank you, Charlie!
