I play music that is old and that is new. Some of it is digital while some is analog. It is from many different countries; sometimes it is loud and at other times it is quiet.

Mayuko:

Thanks fred re: Alan Vega tribute, that has been my favorite since it came out! and I did feel a little bit bad for him that the articles I've seen so far about him say he had been very active in creating things his entire life, and then all of them post only stuff from the first album (although it is understandable as news articles, I suppose.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm
listener james from westwood:

This is why FMU is such a resource; usually its DJs have been celebrating the less well known works of artists well before they pass. And when they do the station becomes a doctoral course in the person's work.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46pm
fred:

@Mayuko: I had never heard this track before. Then again, I first heard Suicide something like 10 years ago, so it's not like I know anything
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm

@fred: Suicide & its members' individual works I know about 100% due to FMU. NO idea how I would've heard of any of it sans the station.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:50pm

@james: a doctoral course without having to write that damn thesis! I work in a research institute, thesis writing is a touchy subject (I'm just a technician though, so I don't know firsthand)

@KenFHP: Whenever my 10YO hurts his finger I get no end of pleasure out of asking him to "Give me the finger." Just think--you can do the same for your doctor!

@fred: I mentioned this a week or so ago, but I'm not sure you caught the comment. I found a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet, your rec, and it was very tasty. Subsequently, while visiting Chicago, I had a glass of draught TK. Waiting in my 'fridge right now, a bottle of St. Feuillien Triple, which is supposed to be at least as good as TK.

Interesting phase effect with the cricket. My Chromebook makes it sound as if it's ten feet away in a corner of the room.

@Dean: I never had a chance to drink the draught kind, anyway I'm glad you liked it. TK is my go-to drink at Instants Chavirés, my fave venue. I never tried St Feuillien either, I should be on the lookout for that

before Explorers room was scheduled 'till 10, he often would keep going after 9 - sometimes until 10. i'm glad he's scheduled 'till 10 now, but it made it special when he went over; and i couldn't be upset when he didn't.

One little fact about Guadacanal I've always liked is that the Japanese ambassadors residence in Honaria today sits on the same approximate location as the general staff headquarters during the battle. And that author Jack London who sailed through the Solomans on his sloop the Snark in 1912 or so hated the place (mosquitos)

hah! whenever i get i guinness that's done properly, with a head, i love the foam because it reminds me of unsweetened coffee ice cream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:18pm
fred:

@Mayuko: Black Velvet looks good too, but it's pretty dumb: champagne and Guinness, the champagne ends up between the foam and the beer, with a straw you can drink the champagne then you have you regular pint, except you paid double the price for it
  2:19pm
Dean:

Was just going to post about Black Velvet. Best to use a cheap sparkling wine, even a slightly sweet one, like a Cava.
Avatar 2:20pm
Mayuko:

ha, that IS interesting, paul b. I wonder why they'd do that? Makes memorial ceremony easy to do or something?? But not that they died at that particular point.

Now you're all making me crave for beer and ice cream, but not mixed together.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm

@Dean: best not to try to mix anything with Guinness. Its immune system is strong
  2:23pm
Dean:

Back in '87 I ordered a BV at an Oxford pub. They refused to serve it, because "It makes you crazy." So I ordered a pint of Guinness and a glass of sparkling wine and made my own.

coincidentally Mayuko, there's a chalk festival in new paltz this weekend (which i'm missing because i'm dog-sitting in ct) in which my friend Carmen is painting (chalking?) an assassin beetle nymph. she specializes in insects.

oh, fred that sounds delicious too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:32pm

@coelacanth: I got that tip from an Irish friend, I always suspected it was an excuse to drink more Jameson (the brand that got me into whisky)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:37pm

haha! i'm sure the whiskey is a double-edged sword if you're sick, but cloves have anesthetic properties and (good,raw) honey has some benefits so ...i'll try it!

@coelacanth: Well, in my experience, it works. My scientific curiosity never got strong enough to remove the Jameson component though. A variant has you plug the cloves into a lemon slice
Avatar 2:41pm
Mayuko:

coelacanth, is new paltz in upstate NY? when I was looking for an artwork for this playlist today, I learned that there are many great artists who specialized in insects. It is indeed a fascinating subject! I should try it out myself sometime since Jeff M of Noise and Syrup gave me a nice book of beetles. Not the band.

@fred Thank you! I've personally felt like I do a better job when 2 hours, can make it tighter and maintain the narrative, but think I should play around with it a bit. And it is indeed fun not to have the limit!

traffic in the village is almost unbearable on summer weekends though, unless you're traveling pretty early or very late. it's worth finding an alternate route, even if it's a couple extra miles drive.

Yep, traffic bad. I usually park far from downtown and walk down the slope.
