Listener comments!

  3:08pm
dave in vermont:

i love tuning in and finding someone new (new to me at least, the name is familiar0 and something to listen to i am excited about
  3:09pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I like finding different colors
  3:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

"One chord wonders"? "Analog synths"? (The current) post punk music?

It's looking good!
  3:15pm
Jeff M:

Welcome back to the Seat of Control. Sounding good.
  3:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

(lighter) THE THAI IRON MAN!!
  3:20pm
dc pat:

SYD!
  3:25pm
JFC:

Bill, how are we looking?
  3:25pm
dc pat:

need to get ice cream, can you turn it up to 45rpm?
  3:27pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I'm not looking great, my hair is flat. But Bill can't see that.
  3:29pm
shaque9000:

Interstellar Overdrive? did you know i was listening? thx, shZa
  3:30pm
dc pat:

DCE: I'm with you, my hair is a complete failure today. I need to go back to bed and start over.
  3:31pm
dc pat:

ok. Ice Cream, <PAUSE>
  3:31pm
BSI:

aaaaaaahh yes,
i needs me some space. .. let there be s p a c e
  3:32pm
still b/p:

Someone recently described me to someone else as "that clean-cut guy." I've felt terrible since.
  3:36pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

my advice, still b/p, is to not shave for awhile, then they'll refer to you as "that ruffian"
  3:36pm
glenn:

don't feel bad. my 16 year old goddaughter recently described me as a moron surrounded by a retard
wrapped up in an idiot, which, i gotta say, is pretty freakin' funny.
  3:36pm
Jeff M:

O look, Shaque's in the haus.
  3:37pm
BSI:

also: a strategically sagging posture and slight limp will go a long way to re-establishing your office-beatnik cred. Take it from a well-seasoned and vaguely unwashed professional.
  3:37pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

glenn, it's so funny I think I'd disown her after spewing milk through my nose
  3:39pm
glenn:

ah, she's a good kid. besides, how can you get mad at such creativity?
  3:41pm
Jeff M:

I poop on sunshine.
  3:41pm
bill:

My thoughts approximately
  3:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Jeff: See; Katrina and the Waves.
@still b/p: If all else fails, play WFMU out loud--no one who listens could be thought of by squares as "clean".
  3:45pm
Oldies Listener:

"How Long" (Has This Been Going On)--
by Ace, not Hall & Oates. Same singer as Squeeze.
  3:47pm
Matt from Springfield:

Love the Charlemagne Palestine. Very hypnotic, and a cool name as well.
  3:50pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

you just don't meet too many Charlemagnes anymore. What a shame.
  3:51pm
BSI:

The collab.LP he did with GOL is one of the grooviest things I've heard in a hundred years.
  3:51pm
bz:

Ah yes ACE i always get a philly bleu eyed vibe with that one
  3:52pm
dc pat:

<UNPAUSE> Ice cream achieved....my teeth really hurt...
  3:55pm
R DG:

Jeff: Enough with the scatological. Thanks for the birthday wishes, BTW.
  3:56pm
internegative:

"Mary, Mary So Contrary" is Can. It just happens to be on the Norwegian Wood soundtrack, which features a score by Greenwood.
  3:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

@dc pat: Was it ice cream, or FroYo? Yogurt hurts teeth more (plus it gives the brain freeze, ice cream doesn't too much). Or else it was just really frozen ice cream?
  3:56pm
aces_up:

hey BZ, is there a higher bitrate real player stream available?
  3:56pm
hamburger / london:

aw man - these fuckers would not stop eating popcorn during norweigian wood ... hi by the way :)
  3:57pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: You could be Charles "The Great", but that just comes off as...imperial.

This one by Johnny Greenwood RAWKS!
  3:57pm
Cheri Pi:

I think that this is Can (same soundtrack as Johnny Greenwood)
  3:58pm
dc pat:

..where ya goin to?
  3:58pm
R DG:

@Tim O.: We gotta meet up and break some sh!t. You ever around these parts?
  3:59pm
dc pat:

Matt: ice cream, not the best but hit the spot. My teeth are kinda sensitive...
  3:59pm
Triple B:

Yeha flash is kinda sketch through my boze headphones
. I would dig real player
  3:59pm
jaycjay:

@aces_up, don't know if this helps you but FYI: I always listen to the 128k mp3 stream sing realplayer.
  3:59pm
still b/p:

Reppin'/reffin' Monkees...?
  4:00pm
aces_up:

thanks J
  4:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

Gelato may or may not be available to you, but that freezes at a higher temperature, and my teeth have never hurt from gelato.
  4:02pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

real player just does not work on this computer, maybe my work blocks it, so for me it's flash which quits every 5 minutes or 20k windows.
  4:04pm
FATnFURIOUS:

I can't this Real PLayer to work for me... Flash quality hurting my ears.
  4:05pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

flash is like a dream compared to that 20k...I wish they'd just do a 128 WIMP stream.
  4:05pm
Triple B:

@FnF alright i've been seconded
  4:08pm
bill:

dce, what about itunes?
  4:08pm
Swami:

Ooh, the flash player rules. So does this set.
  4:10pm
Triple B:

@bz Very chill
  4:10pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

no, at work it seems my only choice is WiMP. I'm not even sure what Flash is but that works (sorta).
  4:10pm
postmanpaul:

128 thru itunes trailing 3 secs behind flash player may sound extravagant. But it does it for me, occasionaly.
  4:10pm
VilliageGenius:

Real Player who uses Real Player???!!!!It's only Real Dead at 20k
  4:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

This show does rule!

And Flash player stream, without it I couldn't listen live at work--I'm sure streaming is blocked at other places as well! (Until a couple months ago I could use all the MP3 streams--I put Winamp on my computer not-so-licitly!)
  4:13pm
JFC:

Bill, dump the vip!
  4:14pm
Swami:

Flash is my workplace and like postmanpaul, I do 128 thru itunes at home.
  4:20pm
postmanpaul:

But, you know something, if I was listening in the car right now, just in/out of range, I wouldn't be doing no complaining. Nice tunes Bill.
  4:20pm
Triple B:

Welcome to BZ's soothing sounds of the 70's
  4:21pm
shaque9000:

@R DG: I am NEVER around those parts. you ever around here (nyc)? you still at mlb?
  4:22pm
VillageGenius:

BZ is sooo mellow sooo deep.It's 4:20pm and I'm relaxing to the sounds.
  4:22pm
bill:

Still hoping for that Empire State Building antenna
  4:23pm

  4:25pm

93Landolf93:

  4:30pm
R DG:

Yeah, I remember falling asleep in the clubs, too.
  4:30pm
shaque9000:

  4:31pm
wildstyle:

  4:33pm
Triple B:

  4:33pm
wildstyle:

  4:36pm
Triple B:

  4:48pm
Matt from Springfield:

Basinski Zone-Out Complete.
  4:49pm
Matt from Springfield:

@DCE: If I had to guess, I would guess the commenters are computer programmers chatting with technical/coding language in-jokes.
  4:50pm
BSI:

i've eaten my teeth.
  4:51pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that's what the dr ordered
  4:52pm
Ludwig:

  5:02pm
Handsome Harry:

Padang Food Tigers are killin' it.
  5:02pm
Matt from Springfield:

YESSS! Padang Food Tigers!
I just heard them this early morning on Julie's show. The most trancy item in the new bin in quite some time!
  5:07pm
COBOL:

@Matt:

100 GOTO OBSCURE INDY TRACK
110 IF SET TIME > 30 MINUTES GOTO 100
120 IF SET TIME < 30 MINUTES GOTO 130
130 BACK ANNOUNCE
140 GOTO 100
  5:08pm
R DG:

@MFL: Can you translate that into Foxpro?
  5:09pm
Handsome Harry:

Holy crap - another gem. This is a keeper.
  5:11pm
bee boo:

More fake timpani please.
  5:11pm
lolersk8:

hello bill, I am currently stuck in london w/ no money & no phone after our bags were stolen at heathrow airport. Luckily I still have my passport, but I need to be able to pay for the hotel. If you can loan me some money (approx 1500 USD) I'll gladly pay you back an additional 200.00 for your troubles.
  5:12pm
Matt from Springfield:

@COBOL: Wow, that antique threw me for a "loop". It's hard to get more "BASIC" than that.
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

Sweet Thursday was sweet indeed! I thought the name was familiar, like they were one of the Woodstock bands. I don't see that in their Wiki, but NICKY HOPKINS was playing keyboards for them!
  5:15pm
lolersk8:

you can email me at lolersk855@yahoomail.id - don't worrky it is a borrow account since I am in internet cafe at heathrow!
  5:17pm
Triple B:

I'll send you some money!!
  5:17pm
Jeff M:

Wow, that oddly stumbling, shuffling, slightly muffled drum work reminds me of '70s Krautrock. Like Triumvirat, maybe.
  5:22pm
triumvirat:

Zurat rules OK!
  5:22pm
Triple B:

can we get some salt peanuts while we're on this kick?
  5:24pm
Mister Ten Percent:

@triumvirat: I'll take my cut now, please.
  5:36pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Mark Beer: Awesome. Bravo! I think...

I'm normally the go-to on this, but anyone know the Classical music in the background? It's going to irk me all night!
  5:43pm
bill:

Scrotum Poles, eh? Kinda reminds me of 10,000 Maniacs
  5:44pm
Mom:

Really? "The Scrotum Poles?" Do you kids actually think you're clever, always trying to shock?

In my day we were more subtle. And we turned out okay.
  5:46pm
Scrotum Poles:

Oh maaaaaaaaa, theres no good names left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5:48pm
Dad:

  5:53pm
John Boy:

Your whole show was kickass, Bill, please come back!
