Hello! I can picture you, camped outside the theater with your folding chair and thermos!

Hello Charlie.

@annie I was playing the first Gotan the other day, still sounds good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Brian in UK:

Safari So good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm Charlie:

Hi Brian in UK -- mind if I use that line?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm Brian in UK:

Be my guest, I'll get the spare room tidy.
Avatar 12:27pm βrian:

Feeling the Byrne?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:27pm Uncle Michael:

afternoon Charlie and everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm schmutz:

I wiped myself clean before I came in
Avatar 12:35pm Roberto:

Once again, WFMU reads my mind. I was thinking of the Breeders about an hour ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:36pm Charlie:

Yes, ßrian -- feeling the Byrne :)
Hi Uncle Michael! and Schmutz, ndBobarino, and Roberto!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm Parq:

I've always wondered which production assistant was assigned to wipe the steam off the control room window during the April Stevens session.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38pm Uncle Michael:

I hope I haven't missed a trip to IN-jah.
Avatar 12:39pm Roberto:

Is mind reading one of the criteria by which one may rate a DJ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Brian in UK:

@Uncle Michael you silly goose ofcourse not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm melinda:

Enjoying the musique. Nice to hear the Breeders.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Brian in UK:

@Melinda, been checking Todd's archive. I agree about your comment on Lucinda's Sweet Old World. Have trouble enjoying her recent output.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm melinda:

@Brian I haven't followed her for many years now, actually. I listened to her a lot in the 90s.

Lewis Chaz.. flitting by. : )
Avatar 12:53pm doyle:

now I'm logged. that feels much better. like a clean washcloth
Avatar 12:53pm βrian:

I once got lost in Tiger Stadium.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm Charlie:

Oh hey, Hi Parq! and Melinda. and Doyle! Hey, thanks for dropping by.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:05pm melinda:

I once got lost in a parking garage.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm Charlie:

I get lost in my dreams almost every night. Literally. I often dream about traveling and not knowing where i am or where I'm going. And yet, I'm not anxious in these dreams. What does it mean, doctor?
Avatar 1:12pm ndbob:

Heya Melinda and everyone..
Avatar 1:12pm βrian:

I think it means you dream of doing nothing, busily. It's a form of lucid dreaming.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:12pm Brian in UK:

@Charlie Come back next week. That will be $50.
Avatar 1:14pm ndbob:

@Melinda I once had to have security drive me around a university parking lot - I though my car was on a different level than it was - I spent almost an hour looking for it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Charlie:

ßrian -- yes, dreaming of doing nothing busily. It all makes sense now...
Brian in UK -- you forgot to say "I'm sorry, our time's up"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

Melinda, Bob -- reminds me of that Seinfeld episode that takes place entirely in a parking garage.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm melinda:

hi Bob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm Brian in UK:

I am new to this Charlie should have been $100.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm Charlie:

Lucy: "That'll be five cents, please."
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:28pm doctorjazz:

Eno is ROCKING!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Charlie:

yes, that is a rocking track all right
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30pm Goyim in the AM:

Meanwhile, in Oregon, the last Freeman holdout is paraphrasing Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized":"All I needed was my marijuana/and you wouldn't give it to me!". This is actually true news of the world, not an obscure joke.
Avatar 1:37pm doyle:

parking garages=purgatory
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm Charlie:

doyle -- is that from the dream dictionary?
Avatar 1:38pm Carmichael:

Heya Charlie and radio pals. Insect Trust!
Avatar 1:39pm ndbob:

Thanks for playing the Insect Trust Charlie - quite a fave!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm Charlie:

That was a great album!
Avatar 1:42pm doyle:

@charlie, it is a *scientific fact (*not actual science)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:45pm Mike East:

Two nights ago, I dreamt that a massive earthquake effected most of northern Canada and might be coming toward the US. Also, Kurt Vonnegut Jr needed to know which bus to take to get to PC Richards, so I offered him a ride.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:48pm Brian in UK:

The music is so playful.
Avatar 1:49pm doyle:

"belly/tummy" what a great read..!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm Brian in UK:

Great sounds, Charlie. (shuffles off to kitchen)
Avatar 1:56pm still b/p:

I recently dreamt Humphrey Bogart and Fred MacMurray were in some kind of hostile face-off.

"Shuffle Off.." reminds me that because I've cancelled the satellite TV...no more TCM, no more Bogie, Fred, Ginger.... many no mo's.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Charlie:

Nice dream Mike East!
Avatar 1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Charlie:

hi still b/p
bye everyone else!
thanks for listening and, you know, being here today!
Avatar 1:59pm still b/p:

If People Like Us is still here....I saw something locally recently that was originally produced by a British outfit called PEEPOLYKUS. 'Sup widdat?
