Indeed grand to rely on this 'place' smack in the middle of the week.
(Saw 'Addams Family' in Paris: Not sure 'Mercredi' has quite the Goth tone of 'Wednesday'...)

Cool tune
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:40pm

"Hello Hello Hello" is on the same LP! But it's on Infinity, not Private Stock.

I very much remember, on Private Stock, Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right", which has an awful "ha ha" in it. The definition of "smug", that "ha ha".

I have a basement!

Scraps deSelby:

Or the spelling should probably be "heh heh"....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56pm

that "heh heh" is one of THEE WORST moments in recorded history. And yes, that is indeed on the Private Stock label.

Hey, does anyone know if the station streams through any other radio apps besides the official one and TuneIn?

At least Maby was still playing on Laughter & Lust. (A very good album.) (Really.)

@Layet there isn't really anything to link to at the moment! Probably the best link is to my playlist page: wfmu.org...
That's where the blurb will be posted next week, and where the playlist link will be posted after the show airs.

thunderboys remind me of ten things at once but sound like themselves anyway. like it!!!

JakeGould:

@MONEYBAG$: Well, there might be other services that “stream” WFMU but all they do is act as a directory for audio streams. Meaning, you might find another app to use but they would still connect to—and use—the same stream URLs the app and the website do.

Looks like heavy rain and maybe a a little hail is about to make an appearance here. The tornadoes are staying to the south of me.

that sounds relatively tolerable.

Yeah, not death from above or anything...

At this point, unless I'm being smited for sloth or gluttony, there's not much to worry about.
  11:55pm
JakeGould:

I think I have sloth issues but my gluttony has been solved by a bout of illness a month or so back. Smaller portions and healthier choices!™ (one of those guys I am now).
