mauri one of our team did hit a tree and broke the sled handle Luckily the musher in charge cut off a branch and lashed it up and carried on. He had just flown back from Alaska where he took part in a 1000 mile sled race in ten days. Tough guy.

Hi all, Aretha's entry into the age of disco, great track. (it's always amused me that disco had the last lack, current pop music comes out of it so much).

Hi
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm listener james from westwood:

It's a sad universe, the one in which I was never a WFMU listener and learned about PLU much much later than I did, or never.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm listener james from westwood:

βrian: This copy editor agrees re: the blue pencil. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm Charlie:

James -- you know much of PLU is available for free download, if you need to catch up?
  12:35pm Listening Out There:

There's also a nifty documentary on PLU out there. You can see Vicki's nice garden too.
Avatar 12:36pm βrian:

I guess that's not Price LookUp, after all.
  12:37pm Listening Out There:

This PLU is not Pacific Lutheran University either, as they say here in the Seattle area...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm listener james from westwood:

@Charlie: Excellent to know; will no doubt spare me a playlist search or three on WFMU.org!
Avatar 12:37pm βrian:

I remember watching South Pacific with my parents, and then going out to dine at Trader Vic's. It was a natural segue.
Avatar 12:38pm Mayuko:

This woman is frightening to me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38pm Mike East:

I told my daughter on our walk to school yesterday "If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm Charlie:

Yes, frightening on many levels...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm Goyim in the AM:

It's tough to sing the hell out of a number with a ridiculous accent. Captain Sensible only got the ridiculous accent part on his version.

I felt its happiness.
Avatar 12:40pm Cocakoala:

Talking about ridiculous accents....Peter Sellers in this film....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:43pm listener james from westwood:

"Birdie num-num."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:43pm Charlie:

from wikipedia: "Happy Talk" is occasionally cut from productions of South Pacific on the grounds that the song is racist, citing the fake pidgin in which it is written.
Avatar 12:46pm Michael:

When I see Claudine Longet I think of the "Claudine Longet Invitational" Downhill competition.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm Goyim in the AM:

As opposed to the other, non-problematic parts of that piece? Good thinking, Bowdlerists!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:48pm doctorjazz:

Never heard the Supremes/Joni Mitchell cover, cool.

@Mayuko it is enticing.
Avatar 1:48pm Mayuko:

@Brian in UK I think that's what filled Charlie's brain today and responsible for that crazy segue etc.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:49pm Parq:

"Anna - Letmeinletmeout" was a frequent play on FMU when I first moved to New York. The sound of this record will always remind me of those good, bad first few months.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm listener james from westwood:

Through the intro, I thought this "Jasmine" was a Gary Wilson cut!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm Goyim in the AM:

It was an actual hit in Germany and Austria.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Charlie:

Mayuko -- the picture is a cropped version of the cover of the album "Soundproof" by Ferrante and Teicher, back when they were playing pop songs on twin prepared pianos.
