Hi Mike! I noticed that all the remote programs make the DJs sound as if they were broadcasting from the bottom of an empty well. I guess that can't be helped. I'm just thankful that WFMU is still on the air!

Hey Mike, and everyone, this Paragons track is one of my all-time favourites. U-Roy does a great version also.

Halloween around here was pretty cool. Folks just filled the trunks of their cars with candy, left them open, and just let the kids walk around and "self serve." I thought I was going to throw the candy off my porch to the kids like a reverse Mardi Gras or some such.

@Mike Sin: Ha! Jawbreakers would take on a whole new meaning if you did that

@Marc -- This show is keeping me digging deep through all my ska and rocksteady comps and record every week. It's cool because there is so much that I "forgot about" in way. It's forcing me to really listen closely!

My special concoction, which has no name.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm
Mike Sin:

Aw, come on Frankie, just say it -- it's pasta fagioli!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:32pm
Matt Clarke:

Great mixture today, Mikey! I'd go trick or treating at your house!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
Frank In Queens:

Olive oil, onion, garlic, carrots, and fennel are required. Then you can use either turnips or potatoes. Crushed red pepper, salt, thyme. Saute it all then add water and boil until soft. Then add about 4 fresh plum tomatoes diced and cook until the start to soften. Then add white beans, and a green; ideally broccoli rabe, but lacinato kale will have to suffice tonight. Add the finishing touch which is a 1/3rd of a cup of polenta and cook for another few minutes. That's it!

though she re-recorded it with george jones in the 70s. while not a hit chart-wise, that might be the better known version these days

Charlie had a huge hit with it in 1975, no. 3 country. I don't know it. Surprised it wasn't bigger on the pop charts considering how big he was the previous 2 years
