Asheville Jon:

Dearest Gus,
Which is more socially acceptable for holding up trousers: suspenders or a belt? Is there a better alternative than those two?
Thank you so very much for any insights you can provide.

Gus: Where were you in the 1980s, before WFMU turned to excrement filled by the lousy excuse for staff they now have? Surely you would've shone better in such a more appropriate setting.

i'd love to hear a Gus Bodeheim fill-in show, to experience the music he'd like to play. pretty sure there are some in the archives, but it's been a while, and a refreshing take would be nice.

Lotsa great stuff on TB, this has always been a favorite. Might've been the Vanilla Bean (R.I.P.) who first played it for me.

Oh yea, thanks for the Woodbury reminder! I wasn’t aware of a pandemic period trilogy+plus motif!
- considering what a WFMU “hit” his 80s album was, surprisingly haven’t heard Nuttin from these newer 2021+ albums until today! Yaya.
