Irwin -I fear I may be mistaking it for a different piece. I remember that Charlie used another sort of vibrating piece (with periodic squeals of "Oh yeah!"), and I thought this was the same piece. I'm only devoting half a mind to the program today, so excuse my mistake.

When Joe Frank was on late-night in L.A., I drifted off a number of times while listening to him. His voice is soothing (even when what he's saying isn't) and the music loops can be hypnotically relaxing too.

Hypothetically, communism could lead to a fair society; and yes, the care of the individual is neglected for the care of the community (ideally, what's good for the community must be good for the individual)... However, I don't think we can point to any communist society in history ever having succeeded in providing a fair society. People will be people and any power given to any one individual will corrupt them. Therefore, I am correcting the young lady's sign to say, I want full democracy (a socialist state, where each citizen has a say in how the government functions). It would lead to an extremely inefficient, but fair, society. Closest examples are a few of the European countries...

That's astonishing! Exactly what I was going to ask--is it a vibratory sense. Have been in a room with deaf folks--they raise their hands and wave them for applause--it's amazing to see.

Glennie contends that deafness is largely misunderstood by the public. She claims to have taught herself to hear with parts of her body other than her ears. -- Wikipedia

I know holding the instrument is very different from standing inches away from it and listening. I think we underestimate how large a part of sound is touch.
  5:25pm

@ Mike East: I think you've mentioned that before, you work for an SIR-type musical supply house?

After using the WFMU teleportation chamber (i.e. the archives) to listen to this program, I can confirm that I have never used that talkover music. (Sorry, Parq.)
Avatar 3:51am
Droll:

Howdy Irwin! I took the new teleporter here, to the past. It's great. The opening set was great. Everything's great. Hope you're great.

The Three Little Bops was cool. That's jazz-speak for great, as you well know. The line "I wish my brother George was here" is the title of a Del Tha Funky Homosapien album. Any connection?

I have a 15" platter from an old disk pack. Random access to all the music on that side of the album, indeed!

DEAD! I did my trippy crowd-swimming dance.

Damn fine show, as usual. Have a fun week.
