My brother Charlie! I'm on my 30-minute, state-mandated, unpaid meal break. Glad I get to spend it with you!
  12:05pm jan:

Hi Charlie- Great image on your email of the HiFi Stereo receivers and tape decks. I lusted after some of those back in the day. Those Fisher stereos are dated and ugly but the Scott units are very desirable these days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm Webhamster Henry:

Hi potential pledgers! Let me just say the Chris Butler album is an amazing thing, so get in the running for it!
Avatar ♥ 12:06pm βrian:

Listening thru wireless iPod Touch b/c iTunes is being a pill today. Always glad to hear Charlie, be it thru tiny speakers or Marshall amps!

I'm about to out and wrangle some docs, and get notaries signatures for my wife's immigration interview next week. Buena Suerte Charlie.

Oddly enough, I have a musician friend, whom I've lost touch w/, named Pete Bogalub, can't be the same guy, right?

FZ to Miss Peggy Lee - there's your reason to pledge.

Hearing Strauss reminds me that WFMU has been my musical monolith since 1992. I evolve each time I touch it.

@charlie -- is this lP called Choubi Choubi?? Or is that SF's Iranian folk.?

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm Charlie:

Hi Ryan!
DJ Stashu! - I've got both versions of Cabaret...
Yay Glenn,
Hi Wendy, thanks for the love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm Charlie:

No, Bob, but equally good! I think I put that song on a premium years ago...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm listener james from westwood:

This Morris cut is tickling me in the XTC centers. I like.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm listener james from westwood:

@DJ Stashu: My parents saw Joel Grey in the original B'way production. I cannot even imagine the experience.
Avatar 12:45pm Joel Grey:

I think i saw your parents. They were smoking weed and making out in the back row. It threw me off.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm listener james from westwood:

Hey, they needed to have their fun. Two years and change later Mom started working on me in earnest. Tomorrow belonged to me!
Avatar 12:49pm glenn:

it still does.
Avatar 12:50pm glenn:

anyway, i saw chorus line on b'way in 1978. i have no idea who was in the cast at the time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:52pm pacific standard simon:

I've seen Liza Minnelli twice -- neither time by choice.
Avatar ♥ 12:53pm βrian:

But did Liza see you?
Avatar 12:55pm glenn:

she's great in cabaret and arrested development, but for the life of me, i can't remember anything else she's been in. is liza in arthur? that's a great movie too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm pacific standard simon:

The second time, she covered The Pet Shop Boys.
Avatar ♥ 12:58pm βrian:

She's that kind of gull, apparently.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:59pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello Busy Nothingers. Glen, Sterile Cuckoo was a good one too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Mike East:

I keep my music in a folder with Liza Minnelli's name and mgmt company address on it which she left in the studio years ago.

I saw Joel Grey somewhat recently in something.. He was not good, but he's old, so its forgiven. I also blame the the show. To wrap it all up, Jessica Walter from Arrested Development was also in the show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Sorry, Glenn. Didn't mean to deny you an N.Rusty at commenting!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm Mike East:

...the name of which will come to me in an hour or so....not enough sleep last night
Avatar 1:03pm glenn:

family fodder looks a lot like freddy fender when you scan it quickly. i was a little surprised.

  1:11pm Wendy del Formaggio:

glenn, Charlie knows I'm always good for some cheese. :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:13pm Charlie:

We like cheese!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:13pm Charlie:

Yes, Liza is in Arthur. She's excellent too.

Avatar 1:15pm glenn:

it's like the bastard child of reggiano and cheddar.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:16pm Charlie:

Hi Schmutz!
  1:17pm Listening Out There:

Hmm. Thought "Losing My Mind" might be done by Mae West. Similar singing style. Guess I was just losing my mind...
  1:17pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Sounds awesome, glenn!

Charlie, is this a good time to mention Barbra Streisand's David Bowie cover? Oh man, look at those cavemen go!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:24pm listener james from westwood:

glenn: I can only imagine how noisy it is at the Cow Screamery.
