Sat. Nov 30th, 11am - 1pm: Mike Sin fills in for Michael Shelley

Favoriting November 4, 2012: HURRICANE SANDY WILL NOT PREVENT MY SINGLES FROM GOING STEADY! Fill-in for Joe McGasko.

Hey folks, WFMU's Silent Fundraiser is still on – Hurricane Sandy wreaked massive damage at our studios and transmitter sites, and it forced the cancellation of our annual Record Fair. This chain of events puts WFMU further in the hole. Make a pledge now and help WFMU recover from electrical, water, and financial damage suffered during the hurricane. We have a great new Turntable T-shirt or holiday music compilation, WFMU's War on Christmas (featuring an exclusive unreleased mix of Big Star's "Jesus Christ", plus James Pants, Klaus Nomi and more).

That Halo of Flies/Mudhoney split came out in 1991.

"NOT the original $1,000, folks!"
Apparently Al Stewart's "The News from Spain" from his Orange album, was tried as a single but they made only a couple hundred pressings. If you have that single---JACKPOT!

I remember when Woolery hosted "Wheel Of Fortune."
  1:50am
ore:

how about Andrew Klimek's "Felt Hammer?"
  1:51am
Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: Chuck was apparently from 1975-81--early years indeed.
Since RW douchebags seem to be the ideal game show hosts, perhaps the Nudge should take Pat Sajak's place when he retires! :)

Don't mind me, you're not even broadcasting.

I'm sure I'm confused.
  1:01am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

I was secretly hoping you'd replay the first couple of records you were playing the first time it was 1am to see if we were paying attention.
  1:02am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

Incidentally for the next 58 minutes it will be the same time in our respective time zones.

@matt, seems you have quite the breadth of musical erudition!
  1:08am
dan in falls church VA:

@matt, no, I wasn't accusing you of having bad breadth. :o

@dan: Great erudition only gets better with each good example!

@dan: Breadth is only your breath after eating bread...
@Mike: Stuck on you!
  1:14am
dan in falls church VA:

@BadGuy Zero, cool, our time zones are in a brief moment of chronological communion! I think I'll call my friend in Austin who goes to bed early and wake her up and tell her about it!
  1:14am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

@dan: You totally should!
  1:15am
dan in falls church VA:

good god if it wasn't for this comments column I would have no idea today is daylight savings time... the downside is that it will get dark too early tomorrow!! :( :(
  1:15am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

Shuggie Otis wrote "Strawberry Letter 23."
  1:15am
dan in falls church VA:

@matt, then how come I have bad brea[d]th before and after eating bread??
  1:16am
dan in falls church VA:

Holy cow, there was a trippy bridge there where for a few seconds Brothers Johnson sounded like Yes, or is it just me??!
  1:17am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

@dan: Technically it's Standard Time where you are as Daylight Saving has ended.
  1:18am
dan in falls church VA:

@mike, could you please play some music that would be good for looking at porn?
Avatar 1:18am
Kenzo (lastever):

I always forget that Texas is only one time zone away. It feels like it'd be two!
  1:18am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

Maybe Sherman Hemsley was hanging out around the studio when Brothers Johnson recorded that song.
  1:19am
Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: Shuggie Otis' version is great, from '72 I think. I've heard it before.
@dan: The trick is: you have to eat bread BEFORE before you eat bread, otherwise you won't have good brea[d]th.
  1:19am
dan in falls church VA:

@BadGuyZero, thanks for the correction, I have always found DST confusing and inscrutable
  1:20am
Matt from Springfield:

Now now dan, you'll just have to wait for the mic break and bed music like everyone else!

Great early disco, good arrangements and bass! Not too much, just right!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21am
Mike Sin:

Folks, when I snagged "Lady Bump" I was sorta hoping it was going to be about a woman singing about her pregnancy. Oh well...
  1:22am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

@Dan: It is confusing. Then you get those areas that don't observe it or are just outside a major city in another time zone so they observe whatever time it is there. I wish they would do away with Daylight Saving Time. It served a purpose when it was adopted but it's no longer needed.
  1:22am
dan in falls church VA:

hmmm..."bump" is also slang for a line of cocaine or meth.
  1:23am
dan in falls church VA:

I'm with you about dst bad guy!
  1:24am
BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

I'm still not certain exactly what "Lady Bump" was supposed to be about. Is she a roller derby enforcer and that's her rollergirl name?

dyer from rachacha,ny:

my butt is glued to in front of my speakers.

@BadGuy, maybe she was a bumper car fanatic!

Go back to 1974 for a pregnancy song: "(You're) Having My Baby" by Paul Anka!
