(Anyone know why the 128k MP3 might work on my office computer when used from an archive, but not when streaming? The pop up works, so it's no big deal, but just curious...)

Hey Charlie & folks, I'm gonna attempt to put a computer back together during this show

I thought it wuz "keek" Charlie? ;)
  12:56pm Cliff:

Like quinoa: "keen-wah"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm Parq:

Cliff, nothing off-center, just that he was played heavily by FMU during his heyday in the late 70s and early 80s. I bought his album "Forces of Victory" on the strength of hearing him on FMU, and as Charlie says about the later album, it didn't disappoint.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm Jeff Golick:

Love this Roxy cut.

Hi Charlie! All assembled!

"Britta Phillips was born in Boyne City, Michigan, " says w'pedia. Go figure.

It's one of the few grains I'm allowed to eat anymore, along with oats and corn aaaaaannndddd..... I guess that's it
Avatar 1:03pm geezerette:

it might be healthy but a little goes a long whey.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm Parq:

By the way, Cliff, I dig the Addams gif on your profile page. Mrs. Parq and I are big Addams Family fans, and like many of the best couples nowadays, we regard Morticia and Gomez as role models.

Rice wine. Rice vinegar.
Is sesame oil OK?

Oh man, I think there useta be a good Indian restaurant in town, gotta check if it's still around

Good afternoon, Charlie and nothing doers!

  1:51pm Cliff:

In my mind, I picture her looking like Olga Podluzhnaya. vk.com...
  1:52pm Cliff:

Oh ok, I thought you were pointing out my unintentional pun about her being cool even though it was always cold outside.
Avatar 1:55pm geezerette:

Meant Moondog & Miles but your girlfriend's imaginary aspect is impressive.
You're a brave man Cliff!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Parq:

In any event, I think we can all agree that "My Siberian Ladyfriend" would be a good name for a band.
